Chapter 1349
When Gou Wen noticed someone, he immediately went to inform Zi Chen.
Wu Xie stood in the middle of the formation and stared at the cultivators from Yanbo Castle. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he said coldly, "It's just one person. Just kill him."
"Indeed, I can deal with this kind of trash by myself." Man Shi nodded and expressed his agreement.
However, since Zi Chen didn't say anything, they could only brag. They wouldn't go out rashly.
As the group went deeper, Zi Chen's prestige was deeply rooted in their hearts.
The sound of footsteps came from behind them. They turned around and saw Zi Chen walking over.
"Where are they from?" Zi Chen came to the edge of the formation and asked the cultivators outside.
He couldn't sense their numbers through the formation, just like how they couldn't sense him.
"Number 38," Gou Wen said.
"What? Number 38? Yanbo Castle?"
Hearing Gou Wen's words, Wu Xie stared at him and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll go out and kill him now."
In Wu Xie's heart, Yanbo Castle was his biggest enemy. The others also agreed. Since they met, they would kill as many as they could.
Man Shi and the others stared at Gou Wen and his brother. Their gazes became extremely unfriendly. It was obvious that the two brothers didn't tell the truth. They only said that there was someone outside.
If they had known that the people outside were from Yanbo Castle, they wouldn't have waited for Zi Chen to come. They would've killed them directly.
"We can't kill him," Gou Wen said timidly.
"Why can't we kill him? Have you forgotten how he treated us?" Man Shi stepped forward and grabbed Gou Wen's collar.
Slap.
Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard. Man Shi withdrew his hand at lightning speed. There was a red fingerprint on the back of his hand.
He wiped his fingerprints, then smiled at Zi Chen and said, "A mistake, a mistake. I was too impulsive, too impulsive."
Zi Chen glanced at Man Shi and then looked at Wu Xie. It seemed that the two of them were the most active in the group.
Man Shi could be considered as a living creature, so his skin was rough and his flesh was thick. However, after being lightly hit by Zi Chen, the back of his hand turned red. Wu Xie did not have the same defense as Man Shi. When he saw Zi Chen looking at him, he could only smile bitterly and say, "We are just anxious for revenge."
Zi Chen no longer paid attention to the two of them. He looked at Gou Wen and his brother and asked gently, "What did you find?"
Because they didn't put in much effort, the two brothers took the initiative to be on guard duty. Sometimes, they would carefully go out to investigate.
"He left. No, he ran away. Should we kill our way out?"
Man Shi shouted before Gou Wen could speak.
The cultivators outside paced back and forth for a while before flying off into the distance.
"Damn it, he got away. We should have killed him," Wu Xie gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"He didn't run away. He left." A slightly timid voice came from the side. It was Gou Wen.
"Isn't it the same as running away?" Man Shi looked at Gou Wen.
Being stared at by Man Shi, Gou Wen felt a lot of pressure and didn't dare to look at Man Shi. However, he glanced at Zi Chen and found that the latter was not angry. Instead, he was looking at him encouragingly. He mustered up his courage and said, "It's not the same. He ran away because he was timid. Once he left, he wouldn't come back. But if he left, it's different.
He will come back soon. "" This is the second time I saw him. He seems to be wandering around here. He doesn't look like he's looking for battle beasts or battle spirits. He looks like he's patrolling. "
Man Shi stared at him and asked, "Patrolling for what? Don't you want people to enter here?"
"I think that should be the case."
"Bullsh * t. It's fine as long as people come to kill him. Why do we need patrolling? Besides, what's the use of patrolling alone? Can he stop a group of people by himself?" Man Shi rebuked angrily.
Gou Wen was a little afraid of Man Shi, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Zi Chen.
Obviously, Gou Wen thought that Boss Zi Chen should have understood what he was trying to say. As for Man Shi, he was just a simpleton. He was good at fighting, but he didn't need to use his brain.
The others didn't say anything. They just looked at Zi Chen, waiting for him to make the final decision.
"If he comes here tomorrow, go out and kill him. If he comes here today, call me. Without my orders, no one is allowed to go out." After saying that, Zi Chen turned around and walked back.
"What do you mean? Is it different?" Man Shi scratched his head. He didn't understand the difference between today and tomorrow.
Most of the others didn't understand, but Shang Guan Hong was a meticulous person. She vaguely guessed Zi Chen's meaning and said softly, "If he comes tomorrow, it means that he's just patrolling. It means that there's a strong warrior from Yanbo Castle in the depths of this place."
"What if he comes today? Does it mean that there's no strong warrior inside?" Man Shi asked, puzzled.
"If he comes again today, it also means that there's a strong warrior inside."
Without waiting for Shang Guan Hong to finish, Man Shi said, "Isn't it the same?"
"It's different. If he comes today, it means that there's a strong warrior inside. It also means that the strong warrior inside is very busy."
"Busy? Busy for what?"
Shang Guan Hong said calmly, "Killing people, beasts, or …"
"Opportunity. He came across an opportunity. That's why he sent someone out to patrol." Wu Xie's eyes flashed with excitement.
The others also became excited. However, they were all guesses. Whether or not that was true, they still had to see if the original cultivator would come again.
The group waited anxiously. At the same time, they hoped that the cultivator would come quickly.
Obviously, the faster the cultivator came, the more likely they were to guess.
"He's here, he's here. Hurry up and call Zi Chen."
In less than two hours, the group found the cultivator again. Wu Xie shouted excitedly.
"Oh, two patrols every two hours. It seems that he's been loitering around this area."
As he approached, Zi Chen looked at the cultivator outside the formation. After the cultivator glanced around, he released his spiritual sense and carefully probed the area. Only then did he feel relieved and leave.
"Could it be that they really came across an opportunity and are collecting it now? If we go now, won't we just happen to come across it?"
Wu Xie was excited. This was not only because of some kind of opportunity, but also because they could ruin Yanbo Castle's good fortune.
"Maybe there really is something inside. You guys wait here. I'll go take a look first," Zi Chen said in a low voice.
He was the strongest in the group. Naturally, it would be best for him to investigate.
"Be careful."
Zi Chen walked out of the formation. However, he didn't go straight in. Instead, he walked in the direction of the cultivator who left.
Zi Chen used his spiritual sense to lock onto the cultivator and followed him.
His original intention was to find some useful clues from the cultivator, but the cultivator didn't have the habit of talking to himself. Along the way, he silently probed the surroundings and didn't say a single word.
During this time, he would occasionally encounter a few battle beasts. He would detect them in advance and use his concealment techniques to avoid them.
He didn't even kill battle beasts. As a result, Zi Chen was even more certain that there was something in the depths. Or rather, the people of Yanbo Castle were doing something in the depths.
By the time they circled back to the hiding place, two hours had already passed.
The cultivator in front of them left after probing once more. A moment later, Zi Chen's figure appeared. He gestured to the group in the formation and directly entered the depths.
As they went deeper, Zi Chen once again found patrolling cultivators. This time, they were even more concentrated. After walking for a few kilometers, they would see a rainbow flash across the sky.
In this way, Zi Chen walked and stopped, and finally reached the depths.
Here, Zi Chen saw a group of Yanbo Castle's main forces. Not counting the patrolling cultivators, there were thirty to forty people here.
These people gathered in groups of three to five. They seemed to be chatting idly, but their gazes were full of vigilance.
At the center of the group, a cultivator sat cross-legged. The cultivator wore a blue robe and had his back to Zi Chen, so Zi Chen couldn't see his appearance clearly. However, after sensing the energy fluctuations surging around him, Zi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
A breakthrough.
The cultivator was actually breaking through.
Zi Chen originally guessed that as he went deeper, he would encounter humans in the Domain Realm. He didn't expect to see someone breaking through as soon as he arrived.
But if it was a breakthrough, would there be a need for a sentry every few steps? This formation seemed too grand.
With a bewildered expression, Zi Chen approached again. When he felt that he had reached an extreme distance, he stopped and patiently observed in the dark. At the same time, he carefully scanned the surroundings with his perfect spiritual sense.
Except for the cultivator who was breaking through, Zi Chen's spiritual sense had already scanned every corner of the area. However, he didn't find anything unusual.
"Could the problem be there?" Zi Chen frowned slightly and looked again at the cultivator who was breaking through.
The spatial fluctuations there were very strong, but this was caused by the cultivator who was about to break through. It didn't seem abnormal.
"Something's wrong." Zi Chen's eyes flashed. He found the problem.
There was an obscure energy fluctuation around the cultivator who was breaking through. If one didn't pay attention to it, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"What is it?"
Zi Chen's eyes suddenly shone with gold and silver light. He had activated his Yin-Yang Eyes.
Under his Yin-Yang Eyes, Zi Chen clearly saw that there were two kinds of energy around the cultivator who was breaking through. One was the energy of the cultivator who was breaking through, and the other was from a light spot.
The light spot looked very bright under his Yin-Yang Eyes. It seemed to be a crack, but there was a seal on the surface of the crack.
"Who is it?"
Just as Zi Chen was about to see what kind of seal it was, he suddenly heard a cold shout. The cultivator who was breaking through in front of him suddenly turned around and looked in his direction.
The other vigilant cultivators also took out their weapons because of this shout. They then looked indifferently at the place where Zi Chen was hiding.
"Come out."
The cultivator who was breaking through stood up. His eyes were as cold as lightning as he stared at a certain place in front of him. He released a powerful aura that was second only to the Domain Realm.
Although the crowd did not see anyone in the direction of his gaze, they still believed in his judgment.
"Humph."
