Chapter 1427
As the teleportation tower array lit up with a blinding light, Chen Xuan and his companion left Qingtian County and headed towards Xuanxiao Imperial Capital.
Chen Xuan's trip was flawless. He successfully found a province of his clansmen. During the trip, he not only killed twelve immortals, one thousand Yuan Shen Daoists, and more than 30,000 Wan Xiang Realm cultivators of the Nalan clan, but also slaughtered countless people in the Pi Fu Realm and Xian Tian Realm.
Furthermore, before leaving, he received the source stones accumulated by the Nalan clan over a thousand years, which can be considered as recouping some of the interest.
However, it was precisely because the Xuanxiao Divine Mine Continent was invaded and the arrayed city set up by the Quasi-Saint City was captured and stolen that the news quickly reached the ears of the Nalan Clan and Xuanxiao Clan leaders in the capital. In an instant, the capital was shaken and undercurrents surged.
At this moment, not only are the Nalan clan's high-ranking officials investigating the murderer, but even Emperor Xuanxiao is using methods to secretly investigate.
However, apart from leaving some clues, Chen Xuan's actions did not leave any other suspicious leads.
First of all, Bai Rong and he are on the same side, and they have already sworn an oath not to harm Chen Xuan.
Secondly, the only possible clue left to raise suspicion is that Chen Xuan once used the God-Slaying Guardian Formation to go to the city under the rule of the Northern Mountain King in the Northern Underworld.
That's why I say it's a clue that might be suspected.
Because Chen Xuan had already perfected the art of concealing his identity, after some haggling with Bai Rong and obtaining the location of the Nalan Clan's mining area, Chen Xuan immediately accepted a cross-regional wanted mission.
Level 4 Godslayer Guards are qualified to accept capture missions from other Godslayer Guards in the jurisdiction of other kings.
The deadline for completing this Level 4 mission is within a thousand years, so it is perfectly normal for Chen Xuan to take the God-Slaying Guard teleportation array in advance to search for information on the criminals that need to be apprehended.
This is why level four and five God-Slaying Guards wield immense power; in fact, a level five God-Slaying Guard commander can mobilize an army of God-Slaying Guard cultivators below the rank of three thousand feudal lords.
According to Chen Xuan's deductions, there was absolutely no way he would be discovered or suspected.
However, his ability to deduce the Dao was only at the beginner level. His unexpected spur-of-the-moment decision to take over the core town of the Nalan clan stirred up another super power.
On the fifth day after Chen Xuan successfully escaped, a powerful force discovered that a key city on a planetary relocation site within its jurisdiction, located billions of miles away, had been deliberately destroyed.
During the countless years of their rule over the few remaining stars, no emperor of any lower-level star dynasty had ever dared to defy the Holy City so blatantly; they had to establish their authority and deter others.
Immediately, a team of envoys from the Quasi-Saint City, using the city's methods, traversed an endless distance in a short time and descended upon the Divine Mine Continent on the other side of the Northern Sea in the Xuanxiao Great World, appearing at the location of the city that Chen Xuan had forcibly moved.
When the envoy from the Quasi-Saint City arrived, Emperor Xuanxiao, the ruler of Xuanxiao, immediately sensed it through the Great Array that Suppresses the Realm.
Unfortunately, although Emperor Xuanxiao could sense the arrival of powerful cultivators from outside the Xuanxiao world, he was unable to contact them immediately.
After the envoys determined the person primarily responsible, three powerful immortals descended upon the three cities of the Nalan clan. Emperor Xuanxiao was only able to sense them when they were close enough, and thus he intervened.
When Xuan Xiaomo, along with the celestial spirit beast Tianhu'er and the uncle of the God-Slaying Guard headquarters, arrived at the core city of the Nalan clan.
The quasi-holy city envoy has already wreaked havoc in Nalan City, serving as a warning and deterrent to himself.
Of course, those who were ruthlessly killed were all Nalan clan earth immortals and rogue immortals. The team of six envoys included a middle-aged man in green robes with a kind face. He seemed very refined and easy to get along with, but he didn't care at all about the corpses of the Nalan clan immortals lying on the ground, as if they were ants.
Of the five people accompanying him, four were servants of the old man, with strength at around 600,000 to 700,000 level of Loose Immortal. These four were ruthless and domineering, and they were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of members of the Nalan clan.
The last remaining man and woman were extremely young, appearing only as teenagers. The young man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, dressed in a blue robe, holding a folding fan. The aura of the Dao emanating from him was no less than that of a second-class immortal. Facing Xuan Xiaomo, the Star Lord under the jurisdiction of the Holy City, he had indifferent eyes and did not care at all.
The young girl, dressed in a colorful feathered robe, was a graceful and elegant young woman, untouched by worldly dust, and seemed only curious and fascinated by what was happening.
When Emperor Xuanxiao and the others present saw this situation, their hearts sank.
It is likely that the envoy of the Holy City takes this matter very seriously, because it is merely a provocation against the rule of the Holy City, and ruthless measures must be taken to deter all parties.
Fortunately, the Xuanxiao royal family had some influence. As His Majesty Xuanxiao and his entourage arrived, the envoy from the Holy City was quickly escorted to the Xuanxiao Imperial Palace.
"Since Brother Ji Mo and the others have pleaded for you, our Nine Dragons City will grant you this favor." The refined middle-aged man in blue spoke with Xuan Xiao Mo, and after finishing, he lowered his head and coldly glanced at the members of the Nalan clan who had taken the initiative, and said coldly, "Within one year, capture the murderer, retrieve the cities that were moved by the Zhou Tian Stars, and fill the source stone gap. Then this matter is settled."
Having witnessed the massacre of the backbone of his tribe, and seeing his trusted men die one by one, Nalan Qingtian, a celestial being, felt nothing but immense grief, indignation, and resentment.
"Your Excellency, this person was able to pass through the Immortal-level array set up by His Majesty of the Divine Mine Continent without making a sound. After causing some damage, he was still able to evade the Immortal-level array spirit and escape unscathed."
Nalan Qingtian said indignantly, "Unless an immortal makes a move, it's simply impossible. And at the level of a celestial immortal, if he wants to hide, our clan cannot find any trace of him."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Xiaomo, Tian Hu'er, and the others all frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man in blue representing Kowloon City pondered for a moment, then looked at Xuan Xiaomo beside him and asked, "Is this true?"
Xuan Xiaomo nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "The immortal-level array within the divine mine area was set up by my orders and the spirit beasts themselves. If I hadn't sensed Brother Qingyun's arrival through the realm-suppressing array, I wouldn't have known about this."
Envoy Qingyun's gaze lingered on Xuan Xiaomo and Tian Hu'er's faces for a moment, and then he also concluded that it was impossible for Xuan Xiaomo to have secretly taken action.
The world ruled by Xuan Xiaomo had long been stable, and there was no reason for him to treat the Nalan clan so cruelly.
“In that case…” Qingyun pondered for a moment, then looked down at Nalan Qingtian and said, “I will deduce the enemy’s whereabouts for you.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Xiaomo, Tian Hu'er, Xuan Xiao Wuxin, and even the two young men and women from the Holy City who accompanied the envoy Qingyun were all startled.
"A Celestial Immortal who achieved enlightenment through divination? He actually has to take action personally?" As the important arm of Emperor Xuanxiao, his great-uncle Xuanxiao Wuxin has always been in charge of the God-Slaying Guard and the headquarters of the Immortal-Slaying Hall. It can be said that he is the most skilled Celestial Immortal ancestor in the entire Xuanxiao Great World.
However, he did not achieve immortality through the method of deduction. Therefore, the slightest influence of the chaotic nature of heavenly secrets prevented him from accurately obtaining the desired result.
However, the Celestial Immortal of the Kowloon City Envoy is the legendary Celestial Immortal who transcended tribulations through the art of deduction.
The Quasi-Saint City possesses a foundation far beyond what Xuanxiao Wuxin could ever hope to match.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingtian, who was anxiously waiting below, was overjoyed and said, "With Senior Qingyun taking action, how can such lowly creatures hide?"
