Chapter 1940 Capturing Qi, Urgent Report!
next moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
Not bad.
He clearly detected several extremely faint wisps of spiritual energy, almost merging with the surrounding broken rocks and chaotic earth veins.
Yet it exudes an extremely subtle and ancient "mark".
These few "marks" are very special.
They weren't left directly by any living being; rather, they were more like beings that had been immersed in a specific spiritual energy or substance of high concentration and high quality over a long period.
Or it may be sealed by some powerful force.
After a long period of concealment, the formation leaves behind extremely indirect "environmental imprints" in the surrounding environment.
Moreover, the aura structure of these few imprints differs from the "pure and spiritual immortal energy" found in the mainstream cultivation techniques of the Myriad Immortals Sect.
More understated and profound, carrying a sense of antiquity that has been refined over the long years.
And a trace...
Subtle, imperceptible fluctuations.
Noticing this anomaly, Cheng Buzheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
Without hesitation, profound spiritual light appeared around him, and he seemed to disappear into the thick glass and metal debris below, rapidly diving towards the source of the mark.
Not long after.
A streak of light shot out from hundreds of feet underground, fell back to the ground, and the light faded, revealing Cheng Buzheng's figure.
now,
The serious and thoughtful expression that had been lingering on his face had vanished.
Instead, a cold, mocking laugh appeared.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.
In the air about an inch above his palm, several nearly transparent "ribbon" phantoms of different colors, thicknesses, and undulations were quietly suspended.
These "ribbons" were much more solid and clear than previously perceived.
It was the "aura imprint" that he had painstakingly extracted and condensed from the depths of the earth, from the remains of what was suspected to be the "inheritance vault" of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, which was protected by a special power and had luckily escaped being completely destroyed by the jade talisman.
Although these few marks do not directly belong to any half-saint, they carry the principles and energy of the Myriad Immortals Sect.
There are these few wisps of energy...
Cheng Buzheng was confident enough to use this as a "guide" to locate those "targets" who shared the same origin as these auras and whose cultivation had reached a certain level!
"Okay, very good!"
Cheng Buzheng sneered, staring at the few slowly drifting illusory marks on his palm.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling edge.
"You planned everything meticulously, evacuating in advance and cleaning up any traces."
They were even willing to sacrifice the entire ancestral temple and countless disciples to escape their predicament and cut off their tails to survive…
"Did you ever expect that your Myriad Immortals Sect, with its ancient heritage, has already left an indelible 'mark' deep within this land?"
"You can wipe away the surface marks, but you can't erase the 'marks' that have already been engraved deep within this world, this time, and this cause and effect!"
"There are also remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect, remnants of the Taiyi Sect, and hidden members of the Yin Puppet Sect..."
"Don't even think about hiding in the shadows forever!"
With a wave of his other hand, several blank jade tablets made of special material and covered with fine sensing runes appeared in front of him.
"Once I have collected the most representative core essences remaining deep within the lairs of each of you rebellious remnants..."
As Cheng Buzheng spoke, he carefully infused the unique aura imprints extracted from the ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect into different specially made jade tablets.
The jade plaque glowed faintly, firmly sealing and solidifying those auras.
"Using this as a starting point, and supplemented by secret techniques, you will be able to hide in the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, beyond the endless void..."
"I can also find you all one by one and thoroughly settle accounts with you!"
"Those days of barely surviving, hiding here and there..."
These are some of the few remaining, last good times for you!
"Enjoy it!"
As soon as the words fell...
The last wisp of energy was successfully injected into the jade tablet.
Then he transformed into a stream of light, disappeared into it.
Deep within the Bone Mountains...
A figure with obscure energy appeared out of thin air above the Blood River outside the Blood Fiend Gate.
Looking at the intact Blood Fiend Sect before him, Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but chuckle and say:
"really!
The Demonic Sect is still the Demonic Sect; when disaster strikes, they all flee.
There are no truly loyal demonic cultivators to the sect.
After muttering a prayer to himself, he transformed into a streak of light, passing through a thin, misty, blood-red light curtain and entering the now-empty Blood Fiend Gate.
soon.
A golden light appeared in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
As golden divine light flowed, countless ribbons, as vast as the sea, filled the Blood Fiend Sect and came into his view.
Although equally difficult to count, the 'ribbons' permeating the Blood Fiend Sect appeared to be far more numerous than those of the Myriad Immortals Sect.
It also seems to be more concentrated.
However, Cheng Buzheng still managed to identify hundreds of strands of energy emanating different fluctuations in a very short time.
Ninety-nine percent of them were ancestors of the Blood Fiend Sect, as well as half-saints who had visited the Blood Fiend Sect.
The only remaining vital energy is that of the current Blood Fiend Sect Half-Venerable.
After collecting all the semi-saintly energy, Cheng Buzheng left the Blood Fiend Sect.
Next,
He followed the same method and descended upon the ancestral homes of once-top sects with terrifying speed.
After he collected the remaining energy of the half-remnant of the [Supreme Venerable Sect], he was preparing to use the energy within the jade tablet as a guide to perform a secret technique to track down these hidden remnants of the rebellious cultivators...
"Buzz!"
The badge hanging from his waist, representing his status as the chairman,
The black jade talisman, which was also the highest-level communication hub, suddenly and violently vibrated without warning, flashing a dazzling red light!
This red light represents the highest level of emergency battle report, which is crucial to the survival of humanity!
Cheng Buzheng's movements suddenly froze.
He frowned, glancing at the jade talisman at his waist that was flashing rapidly and buzzing incessantly.
He glanced again at the jade tablet in his hand used to track down the remnants of the anti-reformist faction.
Tracking down the remaining members of the Communist Party is important and cannot be delayed.
But something that could trigger this level of alert on the association's communication network is no small matter.
After a moment's hesitation...
Cheng Buzheng did not immediately examine the jade talisman, but carefully put the jade tablet away.
After doing all this, he solemnly reached out and took the dark jade talisman from his waist, which was still flashing and buzzing wildly.
Without hesitation, a wisp of condensed divine thought instantly entered it.
next moment,
A message from the highest command headquarters on the front lines of the Endless Sea, jointly sent by several garrisoned semi-saints.
The text conveys an atmosphere of extreme anxiety and urgent intelligence.
Like a cold tide, it surged into Cheng Buzheng's mind:
"Urgent! Urgent!"
To the President:
At 3:45 AM today, the main force of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark demon clan, which had been lying in wait in the 'Black Abyss Trench' for a long time, suddenly came out in full force without warning!
Now, hundreds of large clans and millions of sea monsters, under the leadership of more than ten demon half-sovereigns and hundreds of demon kings, have broken through my 'Sealed Boundary Island Defense Line'.
The seventh, ninth, and eleventh extended warning zones are advancing rapidly in a three-pronged pincer movement towards the core defense perimeter of the inland sea—the 'Pan Shi Islands Chain'!
Its vanguard elites have engaged in fierce fighting with the garrison of the 'Rock Third Island Chain', and our side has suffered heavy losses. The Third Island Chain is in grave danger!
The strongest elder of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, the peak half-saint 'Shark Madness', has been confirmed to have appeared in the mid-lane army!
"The scale, momentum, and preparation of this invasion by the demon race far exceed any previous conflict!"
Their goal was far from ordinary looting.
It is highly likely that their intention is to breach our human race's inland sea defenses, threatening the outer seas and even the inland areas!
"This is very likely related to the fact that you suppressed the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan Chief in the great formation!"
Their sudden large-scale military campaign is also intended to take advantage of your recent internal purge of the rebels and the weakened strength of the headquarters to rescue the clan leader.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility of other, deeper calculations!
"The situation at the front is critical. If the 'Rock Islands Chain' is lost, the outer sea will be directly exposed to the demon army!"
We urge the guild leader to make a swift decision and dispatch reinforcements to Endless Sea!
—From the Command Headquarters at the Outer Seas: A heartfelt and urgent report from Nutao, Cangming, and Dinghai!
The message was short, but every word carried immense weight.
Within a few short moments of reading the intelligence, Cheng Buzheng's face was quickly replaced by an extreme gloom and solemnity.
"What exactly does the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan want to do?"
Does he think that by sending a demon army to press on our borders, he can force me to submit?
Or perhaps he has other plans?
Thinking of this.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Not bad.
An urgent battle report came from the front lines of the Endless Sea: the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, led by its commander, was invading the human-controlled sea areas.
Clearly, this is setting the stage for war between the two races.
Moreover, the only reason the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan could suddenly take this action, besides being ordered by the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan...
He couldn't think of anyone else who could be a suspect.
After all, the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan is now the current patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.
He is also the only Demon Lord who has reached the Divine Transformation stage.
Although the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan is currently suppressed within the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Heavenly River Formation], this is merely a facade.
It wasn't that the other party lacked the ability to escape, but rather that the cost was too high, and they were unwilling to sacrifice their own fundamental laws.
That's why they were trapped inside the great formation.
therefore.
Even though the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan was suppressed within the great formation, Cheng Buzheng had no doubt that the other party had the ability to transmit messages.
That's impossible.
It's not realistic.
A cold glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes as his mind raced.
After a while,
"call……"
Cheng Buzheng slowly exhaled a long breath.
It was as if he wanted to expel all the anger, murderous intent, and the helplessness of having to temporarily shelve his plans that were churning in his chest.
He glanced once more at the jade tablets in his hand, which carried the hope of finding his way, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but ultimately turning into a resolute decision.
"Fine!"
He sighed inwardly.
"Let you remnants of the traitors live a little longer."
"Let me first go and meet that old ghost from Purgatory, and find out exactly what he's up to. Then..."
After thoroughly inflicting pain and fear upon these ignorant demons, and stabilizing the situation in the Endless Sea…
Cheng Buzheng's eyes gleamed with a cold, piercing light.
"...I will come again to settle accounts with you all, one by one!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Without further hesitation, he moved his lips slightly and sent a concise and clear command into the guild master's jade talisman in his palm.
Immediately,
Cheng Buzheng swayed, and a noticeable ripple spread through the space.
Looking again, he had vanished into thin air.
It was as if it had never existed.
At the same time!
Deep inland, in that untouched void...
A warship, entirely black and covered in ancient runes,
Like a shooting star piercing the sky, it hurtles through the endless sea of clouds with a sharp, piercing sound.
On the deck of the warship, the cold wind howled, making the robes of the group of semi-saints rustle.
A dozen or so figures stood scattered around, each surrounded by an obscure and difficult-to-understand aura.
That was the unique pressure of a half-saint realm cultivator.
As heavy as an abyss,
Like towering mountains, they intertwined, causing even this void to freeze slightly.
They stood with their hands behind their backs, gazing into the distance at the sea of clouds;
They stood side by side, talking in hushed tones, their faces radiating a calm and unhurried smile.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Shu, do you know why the Guild Master suddenly changed his orders?"
A slightly puzzled voice rang out.
The speaker was a burly, half-saint with a resolute face and a hint of confusion in his brows.
He twirled a jade pendant that shimmered with spiritual light between his fingers, his gaze falling upon the composed and dignified Tian Shu Half-Venerable beside him, dressed in a blue robe.
With this remark,
The conversation on deck stopped abruptly.
All the half-saints turned their gazes toward Tian Shu Half-Saint and the half-saint who had asked the question, their eyes flashing with curiosity and inquiry.
They were all top combatants of the Cultivator Association, and their mission was based on established procedures. However, unexpectedly, the association's president, Cheng Buzheng, suddenly issued an order changing the previous command.
This left the group of semi-saints with some doubts.
Then,
A handsome, smiling half-saint stepped forward, his tone slightly teasing, and looked at the burly half-saint who had asked the question:
"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps know the details?"
Could it be that you've secretly found out some information and are deliberately keeping us in suspense?
"Yeah yeah,"
Another half-saint, dressed in purple robes, echoed, his eyes filled with urgency.
"Is it similar to our previous guesses?"
Could something have happened at the Myriad Immortals Sect?
For a time,
Discussions arose again on deck.
The group of semi-saints chattered amongst themselves, speculating about the reason for the guild leader's change of orders, their voices filled with curiosity and eagerness.
After all, this matter concerns their mission for this trip.
Immediately,
The Wind Shadow Half-Venerable, who had been standing silently, with a refined appearance and dressed in white, slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
His aura was gentle and warm, unlike the sternness of other half-saints, yet he possessed an invisible majesty that instantly silenced the murmurs on the deck.
All the half-saints stared intently at him, clearly knowing that he must know the inside story.
Fengying Banzun didn't keep him in suspense any longer, cleared his throat, and
His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable power as he spoke directly:
"This is pretty much what we suspected before."
The chairman's statement was not unfounded.
According to the urgent intelligence I just received, this matter is very likely related to Fellow Daoist Lingbao and his group who went to the Myriad Immortals Sect.
It was the unexpected turn of events at the Myriad Immortals Sect that led the guild leader to temporarily change his decree.
The voice paused slightly.
He glanced at the group of half-saints, and seeing that they all had solemn expressions, he continued slowly:
"It's because among the cultivators remaining within the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, there is one..."
