Chapter 1044 - 524: Explosive Zhan Tian! (4)

Although his speed is fast, compared to Chen Xuan, it’s still lacking by quite a bit.

"Sigh!"

Watching the two of them enter the space rift, Duke Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling enormous pressure facing Zhan Tian now.

But the next moment, his expression changed, "Come here!"

"Duke Yuan!"

A man at the Eighth Layer instantly descended from the sky, "What are your instructions, Duke Yuan?"

"Use the Spirit Locking Ring to lock them up, and keep a strict watch!"

"Yes!"

....

Inside the space rift.

"Kid, you really didn’t find anything useful?"

Zhan Tian asked again.

"No, I’m telling the truth!"

Chen Xuan turned his head and said very sincerely, the old man still didn’t believe him, it was really disheartening.

"I thought you didn’t want to say anything in front of Duke Yuan!"

Zhan Tian muttered.

"And who knows where the people of those two races have gone!"

"Do what you should and leave the rest to fate; this Great Yu is not your Great Yu, it’s enough."

Chen Xuan said indifferently.

But his words made Zhan Tian look at him, with an extremely complex expression.

"What?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Hoo—"

Zhan Tian let out a long breath and shook his head, "The words are not wrong! But what you said is quite heretical!"

"Also, in you, I don’t see loyalty to Great Yu!"

"I am loyal to my own heart!"

"Alright!"

Zhan Tian interrupted him, the more these words were spoken, the more rebellious they became, and if word got out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Even so, Liu Sheng still wanted him to become the Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Department.

Someone like him taking this position... to put it bluntly, a disaster for Great Yu!

After that, neither of them spoke again.

It took three days, but Chen Xuan and Zhan Tian managed to patrol all three prefectures without missing a single corner; they even checked the mountain ranges and remote villages.

But apart from a few Tree-man Race and Stone Race members with average strength, nothing else was discovered.

Yong’an Prefecture!

Inside the Prince’s Mansion Great Hall, Chen Xuan sat casually below.

Meanwhile, Zhan Tian and Duke Yuan looked solemn.

"Forget it, if it’s a blessing it won’t be a curse, if it is a curse, it can’t be avoided, let’s keep searching."

Duke Yuan spoke deeply.

"Moreover, the three prefectures have been reclaimed, and that counts as good news."

"Mm!"

Zhan Tian nodded, then slowly stood up, "Then I’ll leave this to you, I’ll head back to the Imperial City first."

"Take Shi the Third and that expert from the Tree-man Race back, let Your Majesty handle it!"

"Mm!"

...

After the two returned to the Imperial City, Chen Xuan naturally went back to the Ritual Department, while Zhan Tian took his spoils to the Imperial Palace.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Hearing what Chen Xuan said, Liu Sheng was also unsettled.

Killing the Peak of the Eighth Layer as if chopping melons and vegetables.

"Soaring to the skies!"

He couldn’t help but exclaim, but more so, he was happy for this old buddy of his.

"Also, I suspect it might not just end there!"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Sheng looked at him somewhat puzzled; could Zhan Tian go a step further, making a breakthrough to the Ninth Layer?

If that were the case, then he might not even be inferior to Emperor Yu!

From Chen Xuan’s expression, he could tell Liu Sheng misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "It’s not about the breakthrough, I’m referring to the Sacred Body. This time, Elder Zhan opened six orifices at once, presumably solving some issues."

Though this included his years of accumulation, it should be much smoother afterward.

"Talking behind people’s backs?"

Zhan Tian swaggered in joyfully, "Gossiping behind my back isn’t like you, old guy!"

"Get lost!"

Liu Sheng cursed with a laugh, "Think you’re the big shot now, huh?"
