Actually, Xiao Chen had also vaguely sensed something before. Not only was Tai Shi Dao Sect acting strangely, he was also very mysterious behind him. The real reason for killing him was definitely not because of the conflict between the two sides in the 100,000-strong forest last time. It was not just because he had obtained Di Gu Sword, nor was it because of Lianhua Palace this time.

However, although the real reason for killing him was not these things, because of these things, the two sides were not going to rest. This time, Tai Shi Dao Sect had failed to capture him in the Imperial Continent, so he must have laid a trap outside.

From the fact that two people with extremely high cultivation had arrived, it could be seen that Tai Shi Dao Sect didn’t even hesitate to take the risk this time, and didn’t leave any room for manoeuvre.

Xiao Chen looked at the distant horizon and slowly said, “In two days, it will be the north sun. There will be no moon on the night of the north sun. At that time, you can take advantage of the night to leave the Imperial Continent quietly …”

“What about you?”

Hua Weiyang looked at him nervously. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “I want to stay and walk to the other side. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave. Don’t worry … I’ll be fine.”

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Chen looked at Madam Xian Shu and continued, “Of course, the new moon in two days is not enough. In the evening, we need to let people disguise themselves as you and distract their attention. Only in this way can you leave the city smoothly.”

Madam Xian Shu seemed to have seen through his plan and asked with a frown, “Are you going to find Jiang Yutian?”

Xiao Chen nodded, “At present, only this person can help us. Tonight, I will go find him. When the time comes, the people he arranged will leave for the East City in two days. You will leave for the South City at night. As for me, I will go to the West City and lure all their main forces away.”

After listening to the plan, Hua Weiyang and Madam Xian Shu both fell into deep thought. After a long time, Madam Xian Shu said, “It seems that this is the only way. It’s just Young Hero Xiao …”

At this point, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen. She said solemnly, “You must be extremely careful. I also vaguely noticed that their purpose in capturing you this time is not simple. Furthermore, there is a faint connection between them and the Heavenly Gate.”

“Don’t worry, I know.”

Xiao Chen nodded his head lightly. When that night came, he quietly arrived at the Imperial Continent’s City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord’s Mansion was heavily guarded, especially because of the events of the past few days, which caused Jiang Yutian to worry all day long. He only hoped that the Imperial Continent could return to its previous calm as soon as possible.

That night, Jiang Yutian was flipping through the books in his study. Suddenly, a gust of wind rang out from outside the window. With his cultivation, it was not difficult for him to notice that someone had landed in the courtyard. However, who was so bold as to dare to break into the City Lord’s Mansion at night without touching any restrictions?

Jiang Yutian stared at the approaching figure and was stunned, “Young Hero Xiao, you …”

“I came rashly tonight because I have to. I hope that City Lord Jiang won’t blame me.” Xiao Chen immediately cupped his hands and tried to dispel the doubts in Jiang Yutian’s heart.

Jiang Yutian looked outside and said in a low voice, “Young Hero Xiao, please come in and talk.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen entered the study and explained the purpose of coming here tonight. Jiang Yutian frowned slightly after hearing this. He really didn’t want to interfere in the dispute between the two sides, but the people from Lianhua Palace were trapped in the Imperial Continent. If this continued, something would happen sooner or later.

“Alright … I’ll try my best.”

Jiang Yutian had no choice but to agree. When the time came, he would arrange for someone to pretend to be someone from Lianhua Palace and lure the people from Tai Shi Dao Sect away. When night fell, the people from Lianhua Palace would walk to the other side. When Tai Shi Dao Sect discovered the next day, the people from Lianhua Palace had already left. At that time, they would not be able to do anything to the Imperial Continent.

“Thank you, City Lord Jiang.”

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and Jiang Yutian smiled bitterly. He only hoped that this time, there wouldn’t be any hidden dangers to the Imperial Continent.

After the plan was agreed, Xiao Chen quietly returned to his temporary residence. After two days, everything proceeded according to the plan. Jiang Yutian had already arranged for more than a thousand people to leave the city, disguised as members of the Lianhua Palace. When night fell, the people of the Lianhua Palace would leave for South City.

As a result, the people of Tai Shi Dao Sect were indeed lured away. By the time they discovered that they had been tricked the next day, Hua Weiyang, Madam Xian Shu, and the others were already 10,000 kilometers away.

At this time, Xiao Chen was still in the Imperial Continent. When he discovered that the auras of the two mysterious experts had gradually disappeared, he left the city to the west. This time, Tai Shi Dao Sect’s main target was him. When he found out that he was heading west, he would definitely return to hunt him down.

Three days had passed, and along the way, Xiao Chen had deliberately left behind some traces in order to attract Tai Shi Dao Sect and the others over and prevent them from chasing after Hua Weiyang and Madam Xian Shu.

On this afternoon, he had already arrived at an unknown location. The further west he went, the further away he was from the bustling land in the Immortal Origin Middle Land. Further ahead was the Border Region.

There were many mountains and forests in the Border Region. Some places had not been visited for thousands of years. More than 3,000 years ago, during the Immortal Origin Ancient Earth’s Righteous Devil Struggle, after Ancestor Devil Dao Tian Xin was defeated by the current Profound Sect Leaders, the various sects of the Devil Dao had retreated to the Border Region. Many traces of Devil could still be seen in the Wilderness of the Border Region.

As evening approached, twilight gradually shrouded the mountains. The mountain became even more ghostly. Looking around, one could see trees towering in the sky, strange rocks towering like boundless mountains. It was unknown if there was any forbidden area in the mountains like the hundred thousand dense forests.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and two figures flew up. The two of them arrived extremely quickly and caught up to Xiao Chen almost instantly. However, judging from their auras, they were only two ordinary Soul Formation cultivators. They were not the two mysterious experts Xiao Chen had sensed in the Imperial Continent that day.

“What? Did you send someone to die so quickly? I remember that day at the Sword Tomb, I said that if you want to kill me, you need at least two people from the Cave Ruins Realm, right?”

Facing two ordinary Soul Formation cultivators, with Di Gu in Xiao Chen now, there was no fear at all. Moreover, these two Soul Formation cultivators in front of him could only be considered as pseudo Soul Formation cultivators. They were not even half as powerful as the Ghost Daoists in the God Devil Tomb back then.

“Xiao Yichen, you’re already dead, but you don’t know it. You still dare to boast!”

The purple-clothed old man on the left had a gloomy expression, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Before he could finish speaking, he quickly formed a seal with both his hands. Suddenly, he produced a blood-red talisman. The talisman grew in the wind, magnifying countless times. With the sound of a fiendish and sinister wind, it ferociously pounced towards Xiao Chen.

This blood talisman was no small matter. The green-clothed old man on the right also took out one from his sleeve. The two blood talismans immediately caused a burst of ghost crying, causing the entire forest to become even more sinister and terrifying.

Seeing the two powerful blood talismans attacking, Xiao Chen didn’t know what it was. He didn’t dare to underestimate them. Ling Xian took a step forward and dodged in an instant. However, the two blood talismans seemed to be eyeing him, and they were relentlessly chasing after him.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. No wonder two small fake Soul Formation cultivators dared to come and die. It turned out that there was such a powerful strange talisman.

However, what exactly was this blood talisman? Why did he feel panicked when he saw the vague blood red curse mark in the talisman? He was even a little dizzy. It was as if this talisman was only effective on him … No, no, what was going on?
