"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Hearing the words of the practitioner in the hemp gray robe, the practitioners on the side couldn't help but fall silent. Although they had no sense of belonging to the Yanfeng Palace, they had put in a lot of effort to lurk in the Yanfeng Palace. Now that their years of hard work have come to nothing, one can imagine the loss in their hearts.
But now that their identities were about to be exposed, they had no choice but to evacuate the Flame Wind Palace. As for attacking the Flame Wind Palace directly and catching it off guard, that was a completely bad idea. After all, the Flame Wind Palace had a high-level Martial Emperor in charge. Even if the Immortal Temple had been lurking for many years and occupied some important positions, it would be difficult to destroy the Flame Wind Palace directly if they suddenly attacked, and they would have to pay a heavy price to do so.
The Immortal Temple is hidden in the dark, and its own strength is not as strong as other cultivation forces. If they confront it head-on, they will be the only ones who suffer, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
"Master, time is running out, let's leave first." said the middle-aged man on the side.
Hearing this, the hemp-gray robed practitioner nodded helplessly, and then led a group of Immortal Temple practitioners to leave the Flame Wind Palace. Although it was a bit surprising that so many practitioners suddenly left the Flame Wind Palace, there were many high-ranking members of the Flame Wind Palace on the Immortal Temple side, and other practitioners did not dare to ask too many questions. In this way, the practitioners lurking in the Flame Wind Palace withdrew from the Flame Wind Palace in a swagger.
…
Just as the practitioners in hemp-gray robes and others were evacuating the Yanfeng Palace, in an inconspicuous practice world in the Hongyuan Star Domain, a man in gorgeous clothes received news from his practitioners about the death of Zheng Chen.
After hearing the news, the man in fancy clothes' expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of disbelief on his face, "Zheng Chen is dead?"
"Yes, sir." The visitor said respectfully.
"How come?"
The man in fancy clothes looked extremely unhappy, and immediately asked, "How could Zheng Chen suddenly die? Wasn't he hiding in the Flame Wind Palace?"
The practitioners lurking in the Flame Wind Palace are definitely a relatively safe group of practitioners, because the Immortal Temple has been lurking in the Flame Wind Palace for quite some time, and with the care of a large number of companions and even high-level officials, there is naturally no danger. There is a reason why the Immortal Temple chose to send a large number of practitioners to lurk in the Flame Wind Palace. Due to the special nature of the Hongyuan Star Region, other cultivation forces are very concerned about every move of the Hongyuan Palace. In comparison, the cultivation forces of the Flame Wind Palace receive much less attention.
It was for this reason that the Immortal Temple chose to send practitioners to lurk in the Flame Wind Temple in order to obtain a legitimate identity and facilitate their actions. As a result, the place that was originally thought to be the safest led to Zheng Chen's sudden death. How could the man in fancy clothes not be surprised
The visitor did not dare to hide anything and quickly said, "I am not too sure about the details, but according to Jiang Yu's previous message, Zheng Chen died unexpectedly when he was leading a team to kill a five-star Martial Emperor cultivator in the early stage."
Died after besieging and killing a five-star Martial Emperor practitioner in the early stage
The man in fancy clothes had a look of disbelief on his face. Others didn't know Zheng Chen's methods, but he knew them very well. Zheng Chen had a special identity and a treasure like the Holy Blood in his hand. Not to mention a practitioner in the early stage of the Five-Star Martial Emperor, even a practitioner in the middle stage of the Five-Star Martial Emperor would have no way out if he met Zheng Chen!
"Where did Zheng Chen die?" the man in fancy clothes asked immediately.
Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately told the man in fancy clothes the area where Zheng Chen and his group had last delivered the message, which was also the location where Zheng Chen and his group surrounded and killed the five-star early stage Martial Emperor practitioner, as Jiang Yu had told him.
Wow~
As the visitor finished speaking, the man in gorgeous clothes disappeared from the hall. He was obviously rushing towards the place where Zheng Chen fell, ready to personally investigate the cause of Zheng Chen's death.
Looking at the man in fancy clothes leaving, the visitor couldn't help but sigh, "Zheng Chen's identity is too special. Now that he has suddenly died, even an adult would not dare to take it lightly."
"From now on, the Hongyuan star field will probably not be peaceful." The visitor sighed softly.
The Immortal Temple will definitely take revenge for Zheng Chen's death, and now that the Immortal Temple's cultivators lurking in the Yanfeng Palace have been exposed, the Yanfeng Palace and the Hongyuan Palace will certainly not give up. Even the cultivation forces in the nearby star fields may get involved in this matter, and by then the peace of the Hongyuan Star Field will inevitably be broken.
…
Yang Qi didn't know what happened at the Immortal Temple. After parting with Li Fan, Yang Qi immediately traveled through time and space and rushed towards the Jingque Star Region. He didn't even stop to recover from the previous battle.
In the void, Yang Qi looked in the direction where the gray-robed man died, muttering to himself, "I have erased the traces of time travel. I hope the Immortal Temple will not send an eight-star martial emperor to track me down."
Yang Qi's Hidden Spirit Technique has reached perfection, but even so, it can only isolate the causal perception of practitioners below the eight-star Martial Emperor level. If the Immortal Temple has practitioners above the eight-star Martial Emperor level in the nearby star fields who are closely related to the gray-robed man and his group who were killed, there is still a chance to track him down.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi did not dare to stay and continued to travel through time and space at his best towards the Jingque Star Region. After all, the farther he escaped, the smaller the chance that the other party would track him down.
When Yang Qi was leaving Hongyuan Star Region, the man in fancy clothes was also rushing to the place where Zheng Chen and others fell. As a powerful person at the level of Seven-Star Martial Emperor, the man in fancy clothes was much faster than Yang Qi in traveling through time and space. However, even so, when he arrived at the place where Zheng Chen and others fell, several days had passed since Zheng Chen and others fell.
During these few days, the man in fancy clothes also received a message that Hongyuan Hall had sealed off Yanfeng Hall and was investigating the infiltration of Immortal Temple practitioners. Fortunately, Jiang Yu and others evacuated in time, so no losses were caused. Although there were no casualties, years of hard work had gone to waste, and those practitioners who had lurked in Yanfeng Hall took the initiative to leave, which was equivalent to confessing themselves, and were now being hunted down by Hongyuan Hall and Yanfeng Hall with bounties on their heads.
Thinking of this, the man in fancy clothes couldn't help but sighed and said, "Although the loss this time is not small, the responsibility cannot be completely attributed to Jiang Yu and others. After all, they would never have thought that Zheng Chen and his seven men would fail in their siege of a five-star Martial Emperor in the early stage, which led to their identities being exposed."
"However, the Temple suffered a heavy loss this time. Jiang Yu and others will still be punished. As for Zheng Chen's death, we can only report it to the top leaders for the decision." The man in fancy clothes said in a deep voice.
Zheng Chen's identity was special. Even if the other party made any mistakes in the process of besieging the five-star martial emperor, he was dead now and could not be held accountable. Although Jiang Yu and others seemed to have no responsibility, someone had to be held responsible for such a huge loss. As high-level officials lurking in the Flame Wind Palace, who else could be held responsible if not them
