See, the trouble has arrived.
Chen Fan knew this from the very beginning. He could use this method to comprehend the paths of others, but once someone died, a wisp of his divine sense would perish with them.
This was both an opportunity and a crisis.
"Trash."
He cursed loudly and continued his search.
His main body was naturally searching as well.
In just one day, one person had already fallen.
As expected, this was the nature of the chaotic zone.
It was worth mentioning that wherever the Dragon King went, chaos subsided.
But once the Dragon King departed, things would return to their original state.
Some noticed, some didn't, but no one cared.
Chaos beasts were indeed favored by chaos.
...
Time slowly passed.
A month vanished in the blink of an eye.
During this month, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Strategy of Order were still not found.
As for Chen Fan, he spent the month in a state of both joy and pain.
The joy came from the fact that he had gained different insights from everyone's great paths during this time.
Especially from the Five Elements Dao Master.
He had already condensed water essence and aspired to create an inner world of the five elements. Therefore, he devoted the most effort to the Five Elements Dao Master.
His harvest over the past month had been immense.
As for the pain… four eighth-tier cultivators had already died.
The chaotic zone was too dangerous.
Whether it was the remnants of the Heavenly Strategy of Order or the chaotic energy left behind after the ninth-tier Bright Bird's demise,
All these elements intertwined, giving rise to this extremely dangerous chaotic zone.
The demise of four eighth-tier cultivators meant he had lost four wisps of his divine sense.
It was agonizing.
...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Chen Fan, who was searching, froze.
A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Found it."
Yes, he sensed the aura of Yin and Yang, and life and death.
Not ordinary Yin and Yang, nor ordinary life and death, but energies fused together.
All these energies were arranged in an orderly fashion.
That was… order.
Boom!
The next moment, Chen Fan erupted with his aura.
His voice boomed through the universe, "Quickly converge."
His voice rumbled like thunder, spreading across heaven and earth.
Everyone heard it and simultaneously felt a sense of anticipation.
"Found it?"
The Lord of Light's eyes lit up.
Then, he glanced at the divine sense being nurtured within his great path, a trace of ruthlessness appearing.
"Light."
Chen Fan sensed the killing intent of Light.
A relaxed laugh echoed, "Are you sure you want to make a move now?"
Yes, Light wanted to crush the wisp of divine sense in his hand.
Not just him, almost everyone had the same thought simultaneously.
Light: "..."
"Can you be sure I'm not conducting an experiment?" the voice from within the divine sense grew colder.
A chill began to spread.
Lord of Light: "..."
After a brief contemplation, the Lord of Light smiled, "Heh heh, City Lord Chen, you jest. We are in a cooperative relationship. How could I possibly make a move against you? Let's go, let's go and meet your main body together."
Swish.
The Lord of Light set off, rushing towards the location of Chen Fan's main body.
At this moment, everyone else was also moving.
Then…
"Ugh."
As they converged, Chen Fan let out a muffled groan.
A wisp of his divine sense had been crushed.
Bang…
The second wisp.
Hiss!
Chen Fan stopped, his expression terrifyingly grim.
In a mere moment, three wisps of his divine sense had been crushed.
Intense killing intent flashed in his eyes.
He knew where the Heavenly Strategy of Order was, but… now there were additional problems.
Rumble.
Soon, figures descended.
The Sword Lord and the Dragon King were the closest to Chen Fan. They deliberately positioned themselves around him. After all, Chen Fan was somewhat weakened due to the dispersion of his divine sense. Their close proximity was meant to offer protection.
"City Lord Chen."
The Illusion Sect Master wore a smile, "Have you found it?"
"..."
Chen Fan remained silent.
Illusion Sect Master: "???"
This expression was not right.
Gloomy, cold… killing intent spreading.
"What's wrong?"
The Illusion Sect Master was somewhat dazed, not comprehending.
"City Lord Chen."
The Thousand Threads and Five Elements Dao Masters also returned.
Seeing Chen Fan's grim expression, for a moment, their confusion was identical to the Illusion Sect Master's.
Soon, everyone had arrived.
"Everyone."
Chen Fan suddenly spoke, "Hand over my divine sense first."
The Sword Lord and the Dragon King handed over their divine senses without hesitation.
As for the others…
The Lord of Light glanced at Chen Fan and also handed over his divine sense.
The others followed suit.
However, when it came to the Golden Daoist, he did not hand over his divine sense.
Besides him, two others also failed to do so.
One was from the Thousand Threads domain, and the other was from the Five Elements domain.
"Senior."
Chen Fan's eyes narrowed into slits. "Where is the divine sense?"
"..."
The Golden Daoist remained silent.
Then, he shook his head, "It perished in the treacherous area. I apologize… I failed to protect it."
The other two offered the same explanation.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan laughed. "Three wisps disappeared simultaneously. Do you think I'm an idiot?"
The Golden Daoist frowned. "That is the truth."
The others understood.
The Golden Daoist had already made his move.
Not just the Golden Daoist, but also individuals from the Thousand Threads and Five Elements domains had acted.
Of course, everyone had considered such a possibility.
However, given the warning from the divine sense, they had not acted immediately. At the very least, they would not make a move before finding the Heavenly Strategy of Order.
They just hadn't expected the Golden Daoist to be so hasty and strike directly.
"The truth?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "Then let's proceed with your truth. Please escort me to the place where the divine sense perished. I will be able to ascertain whether it perished or not."
Golden Daoist: "..."
"And you two."
His gaze fell upon the other two. "Lead me there."
"..."
For a moment, the two on whom his gaze rested were at a loss.
But soon, they regained their composure. The Golden Daoist was blocking the front, so it wasn't their turn yet.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Fan asked. "Have the three seniors forgotten the location? It wouldn't be such a coincidence, would it?"
"..."
The Golden Daoist's expression remained calm.
But he said nothing.
"Alright, alright."
The Illusion Sect Master stepped forward to mediate. "City Lord Chen, it's just a few wisps of divine sense. You've also comprehended quite a few great path rules from us. Let's consider this matter settled. Let's discuss the Heavenly Strategy of Order."
"Heh."
Chen Fan grinned.
His gaze, filled with gloom, fell upon the Illusion Sect Master. He sneered, "Don't pretend to be a good person here. That's right, I did comprehend your great path powers, but I also bore the risk of losing my divine sense. Now… I'm talking about the matter of my divine sense being destroyed without cause."
"If this matter is not resolved today, we'll flip the table. No one will find the Heavenly Strategy of Order."
Chen Fan was enraged, even directly confronting the Illusion Sect Master.
The Illusion Sect Master, being confronted, had a displeased expression. "City Lord Chen, they have already stated that it perished unintentionally in the treacherous area…"
