He seemed to know what the other party wanted to ask, but did he have any room to retreat? No! If he did not agree, then he would die. Chu Chen expressed this very clearly.
"I shall remember this debt. If the three of us are unable to accomplish this, I do not believe that the combined might of seven or eight powers are unable to kill you." The Avenging Star Lake was no fool. In the face of life and death, they would definitely choose a path that allowed them to live.
"I agree. Ask away."
"You said that I was the one who killed the Heavenly Beast Mountain disciple, and you personally saw me do it?"
"No!" Chou Xing Chi shook his head.
"I didn't see that I killed him. Then what did you see?" Chu Chen asked sarcastically.
"Avenge Star Lake, you …" Meng Shuang shouted loudly. If Qiu Xing replied honestly, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face? All lies were overturned. In the end, it was the fault of the three great powers.
"Did I let you speak?"
Chu Chen swept his cold gaze across them. His one sentence, caused Meng Shuang to not dare to answer.
"Continue!"
"It was a mummy, but that mummy was so powerful that none of us caught up.
"The desiccated corpse ran away by itself?" Chu Chen's eyes flashed.
"Yes, after the murder, the mummy ran away." Chou Xing Chi honestly answered.
"That's not right!" Chu Chen's heart trembled.
The dried corpses were all dead because they had been corroded by Baleful Yin Force, so they had become aggressive corpses. In other words, they had no power to kill and eat, and this was their unique nature. Even if they met an expert, they would not be afraid.
But, how could he escape after killing the corpses of the Heavenly Beast Mountain s and the people inside? This did not make sense!
Although the dried corpse was fast, it was not so fast that the three of them would be unable to catch up. This was yet another doubtful point.
However, even if he were to ask them about it, he probably wouldn't know either. From their reactions, he knew that they wouldn't be able to tell that something was amiss with the other party.
Chu Chen secretly took note of this suspicious point. He glanced at the Broken Star Lake and revealed a mocking smile. He already did not have anything else to ask.
He was the one who said that it was the corpse that acted, so it had nothing to do with him. As for why he acted, the three of them knew very well.
Chu Chen did not need to go through so much trouble to prove his innocence.
"The reason I'm not killing you guys now is because I can still kill some Nether Soul. If you don't know what's good for you, then next time, you won't be so lucky." Chu Chen said coldly, then turned and left.
After all, he came here as a disciple of the Holy Land of Hundred Spirits. If he were to kill the disciples of other forces, those forces would definitely not be satisfied with it, and would definitely complain about the Holy Land of Hundred Spirits.
The power of South Spirit Domain was definitely more complicated than that of West Spirit Domain. In West Spirit Domain, other than Fire Evil Divine Hall, where the power of meteorites was revered, the power of the rest of the empires, were generally not very strong. For a martial cultivation sect like the Shu Dragon Country Dragon Snake Sect, its strength was already not bad.
In terms of South Spirit Domain, although they were also hegemon-like existences, the other powers were also very strong. Other than Blood Phoenix Divine Hall, Five Elements Divine Palace, there were also Heavenly Beast Mountain and powerful sects of the Fogstone Sect. Hearing Guan Xinghai's words, there were also several other ancient sects.
The forces here were extremely complicated, and if Chu Chen were to act recklessly and recklessly, not mentioning the danger himself, he would even bring trouble to the Holy Land of Hundred Spirits s if he were to get into trouble. This was not what Chu Chen wanted to see.
Chu Chen did not want to owe anyone a favor, so there was no great danger. He also did not like to borrow the power of any other power to protect himself.
After this matter of delay, it was already near noon. Guan Xinghai and the others were definitely not there, but Chu Chen still planned to go take a look. Maybe they would stay there, although the chances were very slim.
Following the route they took last night, Chu Chen headed back. As expected, Guan Xinghai, Huan Xingran and the other nine people were no longer present. It was as he had guessed, Chu Chen was not surprised either.
"I'll go to the manor by myself."
Very quickly, Chu Chen arrived in front of the manor that he had discovered last night.
Chu Chen looked at the door in front of him and revealed a look of deep thought. In the end, he walked forward, and with a creak, he pushed open the door.
Within the courtyard, it was dead silent. There were no flowers or plants, only empty pavilions, stone pillars, and a large road.
This road led straight to the main hall. Last night, those black-armored soldiers had walked out from the main hall. Perhaps, that was where the secret of everything lay!
Hm?
Chu Chen was shocked. After entering the villa, the atmosphere seemed to have changed, as if there was a strange feeling about it. As for why it was strange, Chu Chen could not say, but it made him more cautious.
The black-armored soldiers were patrolling in the middle of the night, heading straight for the center of the Nether Ancient Capital. There seemed to be some kind of big secret behind it, which might be related to what happened a few hundred years ago.
After looking around, he did not find anything dangerous, so Chu Chen looked at the hall, maybe the secret was there.
Then, he took a step forward and headed in that direction.
This manor did not take up too much space. In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen appeared outside the great hall.
Chu Chen did not know what was inside the door, he could only open it and take a look!
Boom!
Both of his hands pushed, causing the hall's door to emit a series of explosive sounds before breaking open. Chu Chen's expression changed, and he immediately retreated, retreating back a distance of thirty meters before stopping and looking into the hall in disbelief.
Just now, after both of his hands pushed open the door to the hall, a violent surge of energy came surging over. That surge of energy was very strange; it was what he felt when he stepped into the manor.
At this moment, Chu Chen's gaze was fixated on the hall, full of shock.
"Formation!"
The strange power originated from formations. As for this formation, it was set up in the main hall.
Who did it?
Could it be that the black-armored soldier appeared from within this formation? After confirming that there was no danger, he walked into the hall.
The formation in front of him was around a hundred feet wide, occupying the entire room. Surrounding it were a total of nine stone pillars.
On every stone pillar, they were connected together with thick profound iron chains, and on every stone pillar, there were carvings of baring fangs and brandishing claws, they were extremely lifelike, as if they could be resurrected at any time.
These nine stone pillars seemed to have been bestowed with some sort of strange power. In the middle of them was the array formation, directly carved onto a half meter high stone platform.
The stone platform was broken, and there were complicated runes all over it. They were like twining twine that intertwined together.
Chu Chen could not understand at all.
"Unfortunately, it would be great if I could use the array. Maybe I could figure something out."
Chu Chen said regretfully. Although he could not understand formations, but judging from the power of the arrays, they were definitely the work of an expert. In terms of scale, they were not comparable to the ultimate killing arrays in the Fierce Prison Gorge, but the Array Rune were extremely complicated, extremely dense, each of them intertwined with the other.
The person who carved the Array Rune seemed to think that there was not enough space, so the Array Rune were all gathered together. This, was undoubtedly even more difficult, but it was enough to tell that the person who made the move had a very high cultivation level.
Right now, Chu Chen could basically confirm that the black armored soldier was from this array. However, Chu Chen still did not know the answer to the riddle.
Black armored soldier, what is your destination?
What was the purpose of the person who had arranged all of this?
And who was the one controlling the red armored ghost soldiers?
"Is senior here?" Chu Chen shouted from the hall!
There was no reply. Perhaps he was already dead, but the formation hadn't been destroyed and everything was still going on.
In that case, was the controller of the red armored Shadow Squad also dead? Chu Chen analyzed it in detail, making his thoughts much clearer.
"Perhaps, I will help the black armored soldiers eliminate the red armored ghost soldiers and find out the final secret."
Chu Chen suddenly thought that he could try using this method!
It was still more than half a day away from night. Chu Chen did not plan to kill the Nether Soul, but started to cultivate here, deciding to wait until nightfall to see if the black armored soldiers relied on array formations to appear.
If that's the case, then the two of them would head straight for their final destination.
