Is that all?
Chen Qing, suspended in mid-air, led Ao Zhen into the city without even glancing at the battlefield behind them. If the enemy was only at its current level, the three thousand elite West Sea Army could have easily wiped them out without taking any damage.
These soldiers from the Southern Barbarians are actually quite strong. The possession by evil spirits in the Ghost Temple is one of the fastest ways to strengthen human soldiers among ancient methods. With many ancient creatures still unable to revive, this method of possession is even faster than the previous zombie mutation. Zombies rely on insects to alter the human body's structure, but evil spirits can directly spiritualize the physical body, resulting in rapid advancement. Often, it can help an ordinary soldier reach around the Fourth Rank in less than a month. Although it becomes more difficult and requires higher levels of spirits, in terms of speed alone, in the early stages of the second version, apart from the Heavenly Python Palace, no force can outpace the Ghost Domain.
Unfortunately, they ran into the current West Sea Army.
Ao Zhen's addition was like winning the lottery for the West Sea Army, causing a surge in faith. After six months of integration, Tian Heng now had more than ten Transcendent experts under his command, making him the undisputed number one military force in Jiangnan.
To be honest, if Tian Heng were to establish himself now, he could even stand up to the Heavenly Python Palace.
It is naturally incomparable to those low-level evil spirits possessing flesh.
But if that's all there is to it, why would that guy scheme against me?
Chen Qing looked around in confusion. He knew very well that there was no ancient civilization in the southeast, so the other party couldn't possibly use some ancient seal to scheme against him. Therefore, in a pure human battlefield, the only thing that mattered was the strength of each individual.
The fact that the other side was able to set up an East Sea Grand Array in White Cloud City in such a short time shows that their digestion of the East Sea over the past six months has been quite efficient, but in Chen Qing's opinion, this is still not enough.
If that's all he's capable of, then I'm sorry, he'd better hide somewhere. If I catch him, I won't hold back!
"You said before that guy could use the power of the divine statue?" Ao Zhen followed behind Chen Qing, also looking around warily.
Chen Qing warned us when we arrived that there might be a trap here.
"The power of the statue is a taboo that cannot be touched lightly. The current Earth Spirit simply cannot withstand it. The slightest carelessness could lead to the destruction of the world. It could be used in the Dragon Palace back then due to the special environment. Here, he probably can't use it casually."
Chen Qing shook his head, but he was also vigilant and cautious. Just because it cannot be used casually does not mean it cannot be used at all. He even felt that the key to the other party's attack on him was to use the power of the idol at the right time!
The two moved quickly, arriving at the center of White Cloud City in less than a quarter of an hour, and Chen Qing soon found the location Ziyue had indicated.
It was a messy alley, with piles of various scraps on the ground, and the stench of decay was nauseating.
Looking at the terrain, Chen Qing felt a little strange for a moment, because he could tell that this place was not actually suitable for making magic arrays or traps.
In this Earth Spirit is scarce, and all things are fragile. Powerful forces can easily destroy everything around them. The more powerful the array, the less stable it is. Apart from himself, Chen Qing doesn't think anyone else in this world can Void Formation Drawing without any room for error.
Therefore, to create a powerful ambush formation, one must rely on rune inscription. The best place for rune inscription is an open and flat terrain, because such terrain is not easily destroyed. On the contrary, residential alleys may seem like complex terrain suitable for assassination, but they are only at the mortal level. If it were a formation design, the fragile terrain around it would destroy the formation itself in an instant.
From this, Chen Qing roughly deduced that the guy who could summon Ziyue and the others regardless of distance was probably not in cahoots with the King of Qin.
What exactly is that guy's background?
Why does he possess such ability, and why can Ziyue, A Li, and even Heavenly Secrets sense it, but I can't?
Chen Qing was somewhat confused for a moment.
Based on careful consideration, this call should be aimed at them, the developers. But I'm a developer too, so why am I not included?
The fact that the King of Qin came here to set up this scheme means that King of Qin must have sensed it, but I didn't.
They said, "If the King of Qin is Pu Yunchuan, then who are we?"
"This smell is..." Chen Qing closed his eyes and sniffed, suddenly sensing a very familiar scent.
"What's wrong?" Ao Zhen asked Chen Qing.
" Painted Skin Mister." Chen Qing frowned. The last time he saw that guy was at the East Sea Dragon Palace. At that time, that guy helped Liu Yu, the Duke of Song, control the East Sea Dragon King. Surprisingly, he was not punished by the King of Qin afterward. Moreover, according to Wang Ye, after the Dragon Palace incident, Painted Skin Mister parted ways with Liu Yu. As for the King of Qin letting them go, it seemed that it was because he reached some kind of agreement with Liu Yu.
The specifics are unclear, but what does the sudden appearance of the Painted Skin signify?
Are Liu Yu and Wang Ye nearby? What is the true relationship between Painted Skin Mister and the current King of Qin? If he was loyal to the King of Qin, it didn't seem so at first, but if he wasn't loyal, how could the King of Qin control the East Sea?
Moreover, judging from his sense of smell, Painted Skin Mister seems to be stalking a human.
Chen Qing followed his sense of smell and tracked the trail. Ao Zhen, who was beside him, carefully observed Chen Qing and could clearly see that Chen Qing was using the Dragon Breath Spell to track him.
The Dragon Breath Spell is a talent of the True Dragon of the West Sea and cannot be passed on to outsiders. This guy doesn't have the bloodline to Dragon Transformation true dragon, so how did he master it?
She had actually felt something was strange before; did Chen Qing know too many things?
"What's wrong?"
In a dimly lit room, Jiang Xiaoling saw Painted Skin Mister suddenly looking anxiously out the window, and she immediately became curious.
"We're being followed!" Painted Skin Skin's face darkened.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoling was taken aback. The two of them had been hiding in this room for almost an hour, and only now did they realize they were being followed?
"I have Thousand Eyes in this city," Painted Skin Mister explained without turning his head. "Why did I bring you to this chaotic residential area? Because in a mixed crowd, my informants are harder to spot and easier to monitor."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoling felt a chill run through her body.
He knew the other party's capabilities. As soon as the other party mentioned Thousand Eyes, he immediately understood what they meant. They were city residents hiding in their homes, carefully observing the outside world. Anyone passing by would probably think they were just ordinary civilians.
This kind of eyeliner is indeed hard to spot, but what's with the Thousand Eyes?
This guy killed thousands of people? Just to set up enough informants?
Jiang Xiaoling swallowed hard, suddenly understanding why he had been instructed to carefully observe the Corrector to see if they had been corrupted.
What is the meaning of corruption?
This method of killing thousands at a time immediately made him understand what corruption truly meant!
"Damn it!" Painted Skin Mister seemed to be getting more and more agitated. "What's wrong with Chen Qing? How come he can track us down like a dog? Didn't I erase all the traces?"
" Chen Qing? The one from Jiangnan?" Jiang Xiaoling asked curiously, "Are you afraid of him?"
"I'm afraid of the one behind him."
