Chapter 1197 Seeking
While the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable was still in shock at a life token of a ninth-stage Core Formation realm shattering, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture had already appeared behind him.
Looking at the shattered life token, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable naturally understood the reason behind it.
As one of the few remaining ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivators in the Demon Capital Prefecture, Venerable Wu Tu's lifespan had indeed reached its end.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to have run out of oil and light now!
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture had assigned Venerable Wu Tu and the other city lords to guard the Land of Hope. Now that Venerable Wu Tu had suddenly perished, it was likely that something had happened to the Land of Hope!
Without waiting for the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable to ask, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture had already disappeared.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable frowned, but in the next moment, he had already guessed some things.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable looked in the direction of the main hall. The Demon Capital Prefecture had fallen into inexplicable chaos one after another. This was not why he had chosen the Demon Capital Prefecture in the first place!
If he wanted to break through as quickly as possible, the resources of the Demon Capital Prefecture were indeed not a problem. But if it dragged him into some quagmire, it would not be a good thing.
Thinking of this, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable immediately took out a bone from a high-ranking Buddhist monk.
When a drop of golden blood touched the bone, it was immediately absorbed.
In the next second, lines of karmic threads appeared before the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's eyes.
Although several karmic threads were extremely illusory and exuded a fatal temptation, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable did not touch them directly.
Illusory did not mean that the karma with him was weak. It simply meant that the other party's realm was too high.
So high that they could hide their karma!
Or make it impossible for others to see them clearly.
Looking at the many karmic threads before him, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's mind raced.
Afterward, he reached out towards one of the illusory karmic threads.
In the disordered space, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He had a feeling that an eye was staring at him from afar!
In the next second, a faint mist appeared before him.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, who was investigating the Demon Capital Prefecture, was also stunned. What was going on?
Not only had the other party detected his actions, but he also had a countermeasure.
"A guy from the earthly realm, to actually master these things?"
Although it was only for a moment, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable still got what he wanted.
"Shi Tianning!"
Hearing the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable calling him while dozing outside the door, Ting Dao immediately got up and ran in.
The Sacred Moon Divine Venerable frowned and said, "Pack your things."
Shi Tianning looked at the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable in confusion, "Ah?"
However, after seeing the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's stern gaze, he immediately said, "I'll go now."
Facing the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's arrangements, Shi Tianning naturally dared not disobey in any way.
And in the disordered space, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture, after sensing that the feeling had disappeared, then dispelled the mist around him.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture's brow was tightly furrowed. After confirming that no one was there, he headed towards the Land of Hope.
When the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture appeared, Chi Dawan, who was calculating his business, was startled.
He appeared so suddenly, and his expression was not pleasant!
"Greetings, Prefecture Lord."
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture's mental power probed the surroundings, but he found no signs of battle.
"Why isn't Venerable Wu Tu here?"
Upon hearing the Prefect's inquiry, Chi Dawan immediately took out the wisp of mental power that Venerable Wu Tu had given him earlier.
Chi Dawan said everything he knew, "This subordinate also doesn't know where Venerable Wu Tu went. However, Venerable Wu Tu said that if the Prefect comes to ask, this wisp of mental power should be given to the Prefect."
Taking the wisp of mental power, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture immediately realized that it was Venerable Wu Tu's mental power.
However... it was already ownerless!
After crushing the wisp of Venerable Wu Tu's mental power with force, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture's gaze fell on Chi Dawan, and he said word by word, "Tell me everything that has happened these past few days, in detail!"
This was the first time Chi Dawan had seen the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture so enraged. He was startled and quickly told the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture everything that had happened between him and Venerable Wu Tu.
He did not hide his earning of spirit stones.
However, he did not mention it when he personally went to the Land of Hope.
"Hmm? You mean Venerable Wu Tu left in a hurry?"
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture muttered and then his figure disappeared.
Chen Yang and the others, who had just returned to the Land of Hope, did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
They were shocked to find the figure of the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture appearing above the Land of Hope.
For a moment, everyone in the Land of Hope was stunned.
Including outsiders like Jin Chifeng and others in the Core Formation realm.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture coming to the Land of Hope, was he preparing to make a move himself?
Chen Shu immediately activated the formation.
This was a supreme existence in the Core Formation realm, one of the strongest in the earthly realm!
Upon seeing this formation, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture's brows twitched. Chen Yang had indeed caused a lot of trouble.
Even a ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivator might not be able to break through this formation instantly.
However, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture was not here to fall out with Chen Yang this time.
Chen Yang took a recovery pill, stomped his foot, and flew into the sky above the Land of Hope.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Yang said with a light smile, "Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture, you grace us with your presence. May I ask the reason for your visit?"
If it were the usual Chen Yang, he would have already become arrogant. After all, with so many humans present, he had to give them confidence.
However, having just killed one of their ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivators, Chen Yang was also worried that the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture might go berserk.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture did not attack. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Does the Land of Hope know the whereabouts of Venerable Wu Tu?"
Chen Yang never expected that the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture would ask him this question!
It was actually directed at him!
"Hmm? Venerable Wu Tu? The ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivator who was always outside the ancient battlefield? Then you've asked the wrong person. It's quite interesting that a ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivator could get lost!"
Hearing Chen Yang's taunt, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture's brows furrowed. "If you tell me any clues, I will allow humans to pass through the Demon Capital Prefecture's directional channel."
Chen Yang pretended to ponder, "This condition is quite tempting. However, I really don't have any news right now."
Upon hearing this, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture didn't even wait for Chen Yang to finish before he disappeared.
Chen Yang could only shrug helplessly and said in a low voice, "I was originally going to tell you where that guy died! Since you don't want to know, then go and find him yourself!"
Chen Yang was actually very curious. Why didn't the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture suspect Chen Yang and the Land of Hope?
Did he think the Land of Hope didn't have the strength, or was it for other reasons?
Inwardly, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture had initially suspected that Chen Yang and the Land of Hope had used some trick. After all, Venerable Wu Tu had previously said that Chen Yang had unleashed the power of a ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivator.
But the moment he was being watched in the disordered space, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture concluded that this matter was not done by Chen Yang and the Land of Hope.
A ninth-stage Core Formation realm cultivator... did not have the strength to secretly target him without revealing any clues.
