Chapter 1104: Chapter 1060: Refining Earth, Water, Fire, Wind
Chen Fei looked up and saw the other four cultivators from the Black Stone Domain in the Rule Integration Realm that had previously remained on the chessboard.
“Co with us, we have sothing to ask you,” Supervisor Lou’er said, glancing at Chen Fei with an indifferent expression before turning to leave.
Chen Fei looked at the other four from the Black Stone Domain with a puzzled look, among them a cultivator from the Gong Clan shook his head at Chen Fei, clearly also unaware of what had happened.
Although Chen Fei appeared to be clueless on the surface, he followed them with his badly wounded body.
After flying for a while, Chen Fei and the others arrived at a floating palace behind the camp.
Inside, Chen Fei did not sense the extre oppression of the Open Heaven Realm, but there were several at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm.
“Generals, the five cultivators from the Black Stone Domain in the Rule Integration Realm who were present at the ti are now here.”
Lou’er saluted the six cultivators at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm from the Wu ng Clan positioned above the main hall, then stepped aside.
“Four at mid-stage and one at the early stage of Rule Integration Realm. How could they be related to this matter?” Wu Yi frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Fei and the others.
Just now, an order had been received here to thoroughly investigate the cause of Wu Han’s death.
Upon hearing this news, everyone from the Wu ng Clan was shocked, and Wu Ze was particularly stunned, then furious.
The mission to rescue Wu Han, despite eventually leading to a clash at the Open Heaven Realm, both parties in the Open Heaven Realm tried to avoid the area below, thereby preventing any collateral damage.
With Wu Han’s cultivation at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, it would be highly unlikely for him to die outright while pursuing Tu Ying.
There certainly had to be other reasons for things to have turned out this way.
“What exactly did you encounter when you pursued the Xuan Clan?” Wu Ze asked from above, looking down at the five cultivators from the Black Stone Domain with icy eyes.
How could Wu Ze’s heart remain calm when his most outstanding descendant, Wu Han, had been crippled and was now in the hands of the Xuan Clan, and Wu Han himself had now even died?
Later, if he discovered even the slightest clue, not only would these five cultivators from the Rule Integration Realm face consequences, but also their respective clans would suffer, paying with their lives for Wu Han’s death!
The five from the Black Stone Domain looked at each other, still unsure about what had exactly happened, but the situation seed very serious.
“Reporting to the General, when I heard the order to pursue the Xuan Clan, I…”
Starting with one from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm of the Hill Clan, they each took their turn and detailed their experiences at the ti, and after each had finished, Wu Ze would interrogate them ticulously.
However, it was clear that nothing substantial was uncovered, and Wu Ze’s expression grew darker.
Soon, after the first four had spoken, it was Chen Fei’s turn.
“My cultivation is low, and I was wounded, so after chasing for a thousand li, I lost track of the Xuan Clan,” Chen Fei said softly.
This truly was Chen Fei’s situation at that ti; for soone at the initial stage of the Rule Integration Realm and grievously injured, being able to track the Xuan Clan was actually the most peculiar part.
If it hadn’t been for running into He Yan and others afterward, Chen Fei would have likely wandered around for a while and then returned to the camp.
Wu Ze looked at Chen Fei, sensing his injuries and the lowest cultivation in the room, and frowned slightly.
“You were the last to return, why?”
Before Chen Fei and the others ca, Wu Ze had already reviewed everything that had happened at the ti.
It was no small feat for Chen Fei to have survived the chess ga, as other cultivators at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm had been left behind on the chessboard forever.
If there was one particular point of suspicion, it was that Chen Fei had returned later than the other four.
“On the way, my injuries were severe, and I rested for a while,” Chen Fei said with a bitter smile.
After thinking it over and taking another look at the other four from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, Wu Ze decided not to ask any further questions.
“The five of you may step down now.”
Wu Yi glanced at Wu Ze, and seeing no objection, waved his hand to dismiss Chen Fei and the others.
Apart from Wu Ze, the others, including Wu Yi, did not believe that Wu Han’s death had anything to do with the five from the Black Stone Domain’s Rule Integration Realm.
But since the command had co down to thoroughly investigate the matter, anything related had to be looked into.
If things had gone Wu Ze’s way, the five from the Black Stone Domain would have been imprisoned imdiately, and whether through harsh interrogation or other ans, so results might have eventually surfaced.
However, Wu Ze’s suggestion was rejected by Wu Yi and other generals.
The five from the Black Stone Domain were all that remained from the chessboard mission, where thirty of their kind had perished.
While the generals were not concerned with a few deaths from the Black Stone Domain since it was expected that those from the Black Stone Domain would continue to fall as vassals against the Xuan Clan, they couldn’t help but care about Wu Han’s promise: those who survived the chessboard would be exempt from battle for a year.
Now, not only had the exemption not materialized, but they also planned to imprison these five. If word got out, it could incite unrest among all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators of the Black Stone Domain.
The Wu ng Clan, reigning over the Black Stone Domain, enforced strict control, but they knew to dangle so incentives, so as not to drive all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators to revolt.
If it ca to that, the Wu ng Clan would suffer even greater losses since they still needed the Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Black Stone Domain to help wage their battles.
Therefore, once these five were confird to pose no issues, not only could they not be punished, they were to be rewarded according to the original agreent.
At least until the Black Stone Domain lost its value for use, the Wu ng Clan needed to maintain appearances.
Chen Fei followed the Supervisor out of the great hall.
In the Cangqiong Domain, fragnts of the Power Rule can erase all traces. Even if you use the Causality Rule to deduce, the result would not be any different.
Power breaks all laws, and not only moves are included in these laws but also those related to information traces. Even if you use the Ti Rule to look, you wouldn’t see anything.
Unless your mastery of the Ti Rule is complete, then naturally, that is a different matter altogether.
But the Wu ng Clan has no experts who control the Ti Rule. If there really were such experts, the Wu ng Clan would probably already be the supre race of the Return to Nothing Realm.
This is the power of the Yuan Clan’s foundational technique. Many things had already been anticipated when they created their martial arts.
So, killing Wu Han, Chen Fei wasn’t worried that any traces would be leaked, leading to his exposure.
He was only at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm, and it was less than two years since his breakthrough to the early stage, yet it was said he could slay soone like Wu Han, who was at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm.
This kind of thing, if told to any race, would be unbelievable, too preposterous.
Of course, if the Wu ng Clan were insane enough to disregard everything, insisting on sending their five Rule Integration Realm warriors to their death,
Then facing such an extre situation, the worst Chen Fei would lose would be an opportunity for Rebirth.
Killing Wu Han, Chen Fei wouldn’t just turn and run. Not to ntion whether it would implicate the human race.
Chen Fei’s flight would directly confirm his guilt. By that ti, if the Wu ng Clan sent Open Heaven Realm experts to hunt him down, Chen Fei wouldn’t even be able to run away.
The Rule Integration Realm is completely different from the Open Heaven Realm.
Having truly witnessed the scene of an Open Heaven Realm expert in action, Chen Fei understood that he stood no chance in front of them.
Outside the great hall, the Wu ng Clan Supervisor took out five jade tokens and said,
“Our Wu ng Clan keeps its word. These are the rewards for this mission. With these jade tokens, you can be exempt from battle for a year. You may also use the token to exchange for rewards in the task hall, but the exemption from battle will then be void.”
After the Supervisor finished speaking, the five jade tokens flew into the hands of Chen Fei and the others.
“Alright, you’re all dismissed.”
The Wu ng Clan Supervisor waved his hand and turned to fly towards another place.
Wu Han’s death was far from the end of the matter. The Wu ng Clan Supervisor had many tasks ahead of him, naturally having no ti to talk more with Chen Fei and the rest.
Chen Fei pinched the jade token in his hand and tucked it into his sleeve.
The five Rule Integration Realm cultivators bowed to each other and dispersed.
Chen Fei stood in mid-air, pondered for a mont, and flew toward the back of the camp.
There was also a place in the camp where military exploits could be exchanged for rewards. If he had to act, he was going to go through the entire process until the end.
Chen Fei sensed soone’s gaze on him the whole ti. Although it was hidden, it couldn’t escape the perception of the current Chen Fei.
Even though most of the suspicion towards Chen Fei and the other four Rule Integration Realm cultivators had vanished, there was still ongoing investigation.
Given Wu Han’s family background, it was probably one of the top few in the entire Wu ng Clan, which is why the rescue efforts for Wu Han were so massive.
With Wu Han’s death, the investigation was extensive.
If soone else from the Rule Integration Realm had killed Wu Han, even if they were at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, they’d likely be uncovered.
The place for exchanging military exploits was also located within a great hall.
To have the Rule Integration Realm practitioners of the Black Stone Domain risk their lives, on the surface, the Wu ng Clan had indeed put in so work. The items available for exchange were indeed dazzling.
Many precious treasures unheard of in the Black Stone Domain were now on the exchange list.
At the top of the exchange list were the secrets and secret techniques for breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm.
Yes, to break through to the Open Heaven Realm, these secrets and secret techniques had to be exchanged separately.
Selling one item as two, the goal was to squeeze the Peak Rule Integration Realm practitioners of the Black Stone Domain.
After all, the power of a Peak Rule Integration Realm was vastly different from that of an ordinary Rule Integration Realm. Even among those at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, the strength varied greatly.
Not to squeeze the Peak Rule Integration Realm practitioners was unthinkable.
Chen Fei’s gaze paused on the list for a mont, then he turned and left the great hall.
The secrets and secret techniques for breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm were not sothing Chen Fei needed to exchange for now.
With the Power of God Devouring, Chen Fei had stripped away most of Wu Han’s learned martial arts. Although not complete, it was enough to delight Chen Fei.
Contained within this top-tier technique of the Wu ng Clan were the secrets and the secret techniques for breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm.
Generally speaking, there are two thods for breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm.
One thod is to comprehend a Main Rule thoroughly, using the power of the Main Rule to transform the source point space within the body and break directly into the Open Heaven Realm.
However, this thod is too difficult. There is not a single Open Heaven Realm expert within the Wu ng Clan who has broken through using this thod.
The second thod is relatively simpler, refining Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.
