Upon hearing this, Yang Chen said, "So that’s how it is."
"Even so, are you still going to go?" Yunqi Tianzun chuckled and stroked his beard.
"I have no choice as a junior," Yang Chen smiled wryly and shook his head.
Although Yunqi Tianzun was very curious about the agreent between Yang Chen and the King of Joyful Sound, he was a man of great determination. Even if he was interested, he would not ask too many questions about things that should not be asked.
Now that Yang Chen had already made his choice, Yunqi Tianzun said solemnly: "Since my young friend Yang Chen has made his choice, I will accompany you and take you to Lihuo District. However, the Lihuo District is now extrely dangerous. Since you have decided to go there, you must be prepared."
Yang Chen nodded. Compared to the King of Joyful Sound, Yunqi Tianzun was more considerate of him.
At least the other party would plainly tell him about the dangers he might face, so he should be more cautious in such a dangerous environnt.
At this mont, Yang Chen expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your consideration, senior. I will definitely be more cautious."
"That’s good. Co with ," Yunqi Tianzun led Yang Chen away.
On their journey, they should have encountered all sorts of strict scrutiny, but because of Yunqi Tianzun’s presence, most of the checks were skipped, which saved Yang Chen a lot of unnecessary ti.
On the way, Yang Chen asked Yunqi Tianzun about many events from the past few days.
The King of Joyful Sound was not on the battlefield during that ti, so he was not clear about these matters. However, Yunqi Tianzun had been on the front lines of the battlefield and had a clear understanding of every change on the battlefield.
For this reason, when Yang Chen asked about it, Yunqi Tianzun could explain everything to him clearly.
"As for the sudden collapse of the Lihuo District, it’s a long story. According to our investigation, soone indeed set up a teleportation array behind the Lihuo District. However, it is very strange. Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for soone to sneak into the rear unnoticed and suddenly set up a teleportation array, let alone under the premise that the major Divine Regions had fallen so ti ago. Now, humans are on high alert, and the arrangents and defenses are extrely tight. Even if there were traitors among us, it would be impossible to achieve this without a King-level powerhouse’s involvent," Yunqi Tianzun sighed.
"Could it not have been a Ghost King-level powerhouse involved?" Yang Chen caught a hint of aning from this.
"These Ghost King experts are all watched closely by our human King-level powerhouses. For example, the King of Joyful Sound in the Three Flowers Divine Region. Even though he is not actively involved, we have a clear understanding of the Ghosts’ movents. It is not significant whether he takes action or not. As long as this level of powerhouse stays in their territory, they can almost contain each other’s top powerhouses, allowing the cultivators below to fight. Therefore, it is impossible for such a powerhouse to do this," Yunqi Tianzun shook his head.
"So how did these Netherworld Ghosts manage to do it?" Yang Chen was bewildered.
"The only possibility is the involvent of a Ghost Venerable, who is at half-step Heaven-separating Realm. But even then, the probability of success is not high for such an expert. Our human formations are set up all around, and the defenses against the Ghost Qi techniques of the Netherworld Ghosts are extrely strict. Any attempt by the Netherworld race to break through would trigger the Formation. Even a half-step Heaven-separating Realm expert would not be an exception," Yunqi Tianzun explained.
"So how did these ghosts manage to break in?" Yang Chen could see that humans had put in place extrely strict defenses in every aspect.
This was the battlefield, and this was war!
No detail could be neglected, as even the slightest mistake could lead to irreparable consequences. Even without any mistakes, there might still be loopholes that could be exploited.
"I have been pondering this matter for a long ti. Based on the information we have gathered from various sources, I think the only possibility is that these Netherworld Ghosts conspired with people from other groups," said Yunqi Tianzun.
"It seems that there are no other powerful beings from other groups in the Southern Realm who have the strength to do this," Yang Chen said.
"Who knows, maybe it’s creatures from other interfaces. Over the years, the Netherworld has enslaved nurous creatures from other interfaces," Yunqi Tianzun said. "By the way, here is a piece of its scale armor. This is also the main reason why we suspect it belongs to soone from another group. This scale fragnt is likely left when it used its spatial ans to bypass the Formation. We found it in the midst of the spatial turbulence," Yunqi Tianzun took out a blue scale fragnt and showed it to Yang Chen, without expecting him to figure out anything from it.
Yang Chen only wanted to ask about the situation to ensure that he could find enough clues in the Lihuo District.
But now, as he saw the scale fragnt, Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.
Could it be...
Yang Chen took a deep breath, recalling sothing.
The Spirit God Race...
He could never forget the appearance of the Spirit God Race. This blue scale fragnt was from Peng Wanli’s body.
"So that’s it..."
Yang Chen frowned, "Peng Wanli and Mu Taiqing are really like peas in a pod. Both of them have ties with these Netherworld Ghosts. Mu Taiqing wreaks havoc in the rear while Peng Wanli directly challenges the front lines. It seems that the reason for the teleportation array is mostly related to him. The people in the Southern Realm do not understand the Spirit God Race at all. They don’t know that the Spirit God Race almost ruled the Spirit Realm back then. It makes sense for them to fall for it."
"Young friend Yang Chen?" Yunqi Tianzun’s words brought Yang Chen back to his senses, and he teasingly laughed, "What’s wrong, do you actually recognize this fragnt?"
Yang Chen originally wanted to explain the matter of the Spirit God Race to Yunqi Tianzun, but upon careful consideration, he realized that he himself did not know much about the Spirit God Race. He did not know where to start, so he could only reluctantly keep his thoughts hidden and say, "I can feel the amazing power contained in this fragnt. It seems that the owner of this scale piece must not be ordinary."
"Of course, being able to walk in the spatial turbulence and only lose this small piece while evading our human scrutiny. I would never believe that such a person is ordinary. Hmph, I really wish I could find out who this person is and expose them," Yunqi Tianzun said angrily.
Yang Chen recalled Peng Wanli’s strength and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
As they were thinking, the two had already crossed the Qian Lei District and Gengjin District successively. The cultivators in these two districts were all dressed and prepared, solemnly garrisoned in case of unexpected events.
Not long after, Yunqi Tianzun stopped. Yang Chen guessed quickly and knew that he had already arrived at the front of the Lihuo District.
