The canyon fell silent.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Xiao Chen, Zhang Tianzhi, and Xu Liyuan all had grim expressions and were speechless for a moment.
The Holy Heaven Alliance... only four of them remain?!
This was almost Destruction blow.
However, as fellow Great River Realm Heavenly King, the three possessed strong mental fortitude. They did not criticize Liu Cangdong's actions, but instead quickly adjusted their emotions and discussed strategies for dealing with the situation.
Zhang Tianzhi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Without the other Heavenly King, the four of us have virtually no chance of seizing the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage."
The gap in strength between us and the Federation is too great!
To put it bluntly, they can't even manage a basic level of direct confrontation.
Xu Liyuan nodded and said, "If we encounter them in the territory of the Dao lineage, the Federation's three Great River Realm Heavenly King plus some River Realm Heavenly King will be enough to hold us back, allowing the other Heavenly King to go and seize the Dao lineage!"
"To seize the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, the first step is to kill Ning Chuan!"
Liu Cangdong's tone was as cold as ice.
His motives weren't just revenge; he also had legitimate reasons.
"If the place where the Dao lineage resides also has an area that severely suppresses the Law and Force, Ning Chuan alone might be able to hold off the four of us!"
That's how it should be!
Xiao Chen agreed with Liu Cangdong's statement and said coldly, "The value of the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage surpasses that of two separate spiritual cultivation methods. Ning Chuan must not be allowed to live unless we are absolutely certain of success!"
How to kill?
Zhang Tianzhi asked the crucial question, saying, "After the battle with Palace Master Liu, Ning Chuan will definitely be very vigilant and won't easily be alone."
According to the Divine Martial Stele, the Holy Heaven Alliance's strength is clearly weaker than that of the Federation.
Xiao Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Join forces with the alien Heavenly King to launch a joint attack!"
Upon hearing this, the other three did not resist too much and nodded in agreement one after another.
Although the Holy Heaven Alliance had clashed with alien races and fought to the death for special passages, they had no other choice when faced with the relatively powerful Federation.
"Only..."
Xu Liyuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Even a joint assassination attempt has a low chance of success."
The Federation and the ferocious beasts had seized more than half of the special passages, so they weren't particularly afraid of them forming an alliance with the alien races.
Moreover, now, their River Realm and Spring Realm Heavenly King have all been wiped out.
In a direct confrontation, relying on the Great River Realm 'Heavenly King numerical advantage, they could at best maintain a stalemate.
Want to win?
It's as difficult as Heaven Ascension!
Liu Cangdong gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we can't kill him, we must drive Ning Chuan out of the Divine Martial Stele!"
"That shouldn't be a big problem; we're only targeting him!"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
As he spoke, he lowered his head, looked down at the alien Heavenly King lying in the pile of rubble, and waved his hand, releasing the other from his restraints.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "You should have heard about the harm Ning Chuan has caused. Go back and tell Si Nanbo that if he wants to cooperate, he can come to this canyon to find us!"
The alien Heavenly King's eyes flickered with surprise. He had thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly, there was still a way out.
He suspected that the four Great River Realm Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance might be setting a trap.
However, he also witnessed Liu Cangdong's miserable state.
It doesn't look fake.
"I will convey this to Si Nanbo; whether he agrees or not is none of my concern."
Without further thought, the alien Heavenly King ascended into the sky in a flash of light and disappeared into the horizon.
On the other side.
Storm Plain, the edge of the plains.
"Call!"
Ye Wuchen let out a long breath, gradually regaining his composure. All the powerful figures from the Federation who had entered the Divine Martial Stele on this trip had arrived.
There are 25 people in total.
Excluding Ning Chuan is at the Knight level, and Divine General at the Third Heaven of the Divine General Lu Zhan, the remaining 23 people are all Heavenly King!
Among them are three Great River Realm Heavenly King.
Six River Realm Heavenly King.
The other fourteen are the Heavenly King of the Spring Realm.
"Why is he here too?!"
Ning Chuan's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at a man in blue robes. The man had loose black and gray hair and a handsome face, but his eyes were slightly narrow, adding to his cold demeanor.
It was Lin Fengyang!
Ning Chuan clearly remembered that Lin Fengyang had not managed to secure a special passage before he was teleported into the Prison Realm.
After that, the special passages should have been entirely controlled by the Holy Heaven Alliance and the Alien Council.
Did Lin Fengyang manage to snag a bargain by sheer luck?
Noticing Ning Chuan 'Lu Zhan gaze, Lu Zhan said, " The Night King inquired about this matter. Lin Fengyang entered the Divine Martial Stele through the ordinary passage."
No wonder.
Ning Chuan nodded, not giving it much thought.
Several of the dozen or so Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance that he killed had entered through ordinary channels, and their strength was clearly inferior to their cultivation level.
At this moment, Xu Yuan glanced around at everyone, paused deliberately as he passed Ning Chuan, and said coldly, "Stop talking!"
Now that everyone is here, let's quickly begin searching for the whereabouts of the lineage!
"We've already wasted some time; if this drags on any longer, it might be seized by the Holy Heaven Alliance or Heavenly King from another race!"
The words were finished.
The crowd fell silent abruptly.
The Heavenly King weren't fools; they could tell that Xu Yuan's words implied blame for Ning Chuan's lateness.
However, given Xu Yuanjiang's status as a Heavenly King of the Jiang Realm, no one said anything.
Lu Zhan and Qin Lang didn't care; they both frowned and were about to speak.
At this moment, Dong Kaiming coughed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "The inner world of the Divine Martial Stele is vast. Exploring it as a group is too inefficient. Let's split into small teams and explore different areas."
"Let's start with Ning Chuan. Which area would you like to go to?"
Dong Kaiming looked at Ning Chuan and asked, but his words were pointed, and he said seriously, "Don't make excuses. The Federation was able to obtain so many special passages thanks to you, so it's only right that you choose first."
"That's right!"
" Ning Chuan, your investigative skills are amazing! Let me curry favor with you!"
Many of the Heavenly King laughed and agreed.
Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Dong Kaiming's words were clearly a warning to him, reminding him to distinguish between what was important and what was not.
Ning Chuan is late.
But compared to the merits he has made, it's nothing at all!
Everyone agreed.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and remained silent.
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes, not bothering to argue with Xu Yuan, and said directly, "I'm going to Origin Martial Mountain."
He already had a plan in mind. He pointed at the three-headed River Realm beast and said, "The three of them will come with me."
Ning Chuan planned to send them to help Le Yu retrieve the martial arts manual.
He himself went to the Spirit Refining Sea and opened the martial arts box of the Nine Steps to the Ends of the World.
This movement technique, at the Marquis-Bestowing level, contains Second-Grade Void Law, making it incredibly powerful. If one can comprehend its profound Mystic Truth, it will definitely boost his strength significantly!
"No problem!"
Dong Kaiming nodded in agreement.
The fact that San Tou River Realm obeyed Ning Chuan's orders was an agreement made before the alliance was formed, and he had no objections.
Ye Wuchen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with Ning Chuan."
"Both the Holy Heaven Alliance and the alien races want to kill him. If we encounter an attack from Heavenly King Great River Realm, my survival skills are the strongest. I can take Ning Chuan away, or hold out until you come to our rescue!"
Ye Wuchen explained the reason.
After listening, Ning Chuan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
After using the two Casket-Breaking Secret Key to erase some of the energy of Nine Steps to the Ends of the World, he threw them away.
However, the Holy Heaven Alliance or the Alien Council are both top-tier forces, and they might be able to find him through other means.
He is now finding it difficult to face Great River Realm Heavenly King.
"However, Senior Ye doesn't need to protect you for long."
Ning Chuan's eyes flashed.
As long as he inherits the Nine Steps to the Ends of the World Horizon and comprehends its profound Mystic Truth, his speed will not be inferior to that of the Great River Realm Heavenly King.
By then...
