746: Investigation team from Blade City

"Am I really that terrifying?"

Wang Chen felt a bit helpless looking at Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun, who were across from him, cautious and not even daring to raise their heads.

He wasn't some heinous villain, so why did these two look like they were about to be killed the next second?

"I said I don't need the item."

"However, you two were caught peeking in the dark. While you are spared from death, you won't escape punishment."

"You two will handle the battle traces here."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun and Bai Yuliang naturally had no objections; in fact, joy even surfaced in their hearts.

Just helping to deal with battle traces was no difficulty for them.

Immediately, the two quickly expressed their gratitude.

Seeing this, Wang Chen felt even more helpless, but he couldn't say much, as he still had to maintain the persona of a Senior.

Next, he asked for Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun's communication jade tokens, then flew away, leaving the anxious pair behind.

...

...

Time flowed by.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Under the shroud of night in the Demon Beast Forest, shrill wails constantly echoed, then quickly subsided into silence.

"I'm Rank 183 now; these experience packages are truly effective!"

Wang Chen flicked the blood off his long sword and nodded with satisfaction.

This was already the fifteenth Undead Warrior gathering place he had annihilated in these past days.

Maintaining a speed of eliminating two Undead Warrior gathering places per day, his Rank had directly increased by five Ranks in these seven days, reaching Rank 183.

As for the lower-Rank Dark Titan, it had completed its second advancement during this period, entering its youth stage, and its strength had risen to Rank 150, already capable of sharing some of the burden in battle for Wang Chen.

"Senior, we need to proceed carefully from now on."

"The destruction of numerous Undead Warrior gathering places has already attracted the attention of Blade City. I recently received a reprimand from them."

"For the next few days, it's best to temporarily suspend attacks on Undead Warrior gathering places."

At this moment, a handsome young man suddenly appeared beside Wang Chen, speaking cautiously.

This young man was none other than the transformed Xuanqing Snake King.

The consecutive destruction of fifteen Undead Warrior gathering places, coupled with the actions of Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun, had turned over twenty Undead Warrior towns into ruins in a short period of time.

This immense loss, even though Xuanqing Snake King was the Demon Beast Forest patrol sent by Blade City and could sever the connection between these Undead Warrior towns and Blade City, was now becoming impossible to cover up.

"Oh? Just a reprimand?"

Hearing Xuanqing Snake King's words, Wang Chen put away his long sword and turned to look: "It seems Blade City hasn't discovered the losses of these past days. In this situation, you can completely stall for a few more days."

"Give me two more days, and I'll be ready to head to Blade City."

Wang Chen had long anticipated that Blade City would be on alert.

However, a mere reprimand was not worth worrying about.

In two more days, Ice Purity Su Su and the others would awaken from their slumber. By then, even if Blade City sent a team to investigate, he would have nothing to fear.

"Senior..."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Snake King gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Although Blade City only sent a reprimand, I'm afraid the investigation team is already on its way, or has even arrived in the Demon Beast Forest."

"We don't have much time left."

As he spoke, Xuanqing Snake King looked at Wang Chen with anticipation.

Once Blade City's investigation team arrived, the events here could not be concealed, as the destruction of over twenty Undead Warrior towns was clearly problematic even to a blind man.

Xuanqing Snake King hoped that Wang Chen would go with him to Blade City to carry out their plan.

In these past few days, Wang Chen's strength had continuously updated his perception, increasing Xuanqing Snake King's confidence in infiltrating Blade City's treasury from fifty percent to eighty percent.

"Is that so?"

Wang Chen naturally saw through Xuanqing Snake King's little scheme at a glance, but he didn't find anything wrong with it.

After all, Xuanqing Snake King had performed quite well these past few days, not only perfectly concealing the commotion of the Undead Warrior towns' destruction but also personally intervening several times to help solve the Guardian Arrays of the Undead Warrior towns.

However, since Ice Purity Su Su and the others had not awakened from their slumber yet, Wang Chen's confidence in being able to retreat safely if he went to Blade City at this time was not high.

Blade City commanded all the Undead Warriors in the entire Demon Beast Forest, and its strength was quite formidable, possessing more than five Nine Revolution Early Stage powerhouses.

Although Wang Chen could now contend with those at the Nine Revolution Early Stage, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to believe he could challenge the entire Blade City.

"Let's wait a bit. When Blade City's investigation team arrives, they will surely contact you."

"If we eliminate them, we should be able to buy some more time."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen looked at Xuanqing Snake King and said.

"If Senior wishes to continue, then it can only be so."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Snake King nodded. This Senior was his hope for obtaining the Demonic Emperor's remnant body, so he naturally dared not refute, but...

"Senior, if we kill the investigation team sent by Blade City, it will inevitably alert Blade City, and then infiltrating might become difficult..."

"Careful, someone's coming."

Before Xuanqing Snake King could finish speaking, Wang Chen's eyes suddenly moved, and he abruptly turned to look to his left.

In the shadow of a large tree, a half-human, half-insect figure suddenly appeared, its hands clasped in front of its body, condensing an extremely terrifying energy orb.

Undead Warrior?

The moment Wang Chen saw this Undead Warrior, the energy orb in its hand shot out, whistling through the air as it soared towards him and Xuanqing Snake King.

"You really just had to mention it. It seems Blade City had already sent out an investigation team even before reprimanding you."

Seeing this, Wang Chen turned and chuckled softly at Xuanqing Snake King.

"This... I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly."

Xuanqing Snake King's expression was helpless. He raised a hand, and suddenly a giant energy-formed snake head burst forth, swallowing the incoming energy orb in one gulp.

"Xuanqing Snake King!"

"You really betrayed us!"

As the two attacks dissipated, three more chillingly aura-filled Undead Warriors appeared from the shadow of the large tree.

These three Undead Warriors were all massive in size, over two and a half meters tall, their entire bodies encased in heavy armor, revealing only their eyes that glowed with a faint red light.

Moreover, the strength of these three Undead Warriors had all reached the Rank Eight Peak, and the mere unintentional pressure they exuded almost solidified the air in the entire area.

"Guardian Legion? Commander Rank?"

Seeing this, Xuanqing Snake King's face immediately turned incredibly grim.

He had never imagined that Blade City's investigation team would not only arrive early, but also be from the Guardian Legion, renowned for their formidable strength.
