434: track

"Master, after you made your move, you didn't happen to wipe out all the guys from one of the factions, did you!"

Old Pig couldn't help but ask Tang Ku. He had just returned today and was immediately given a mission. You could say his butt hadn't even warmed the seat before he had to head back out. After being tired all day, it was inevitable that he would have some complaints.

Tang Ku gave him a rap on the head and said irritably, "You silly oaf, if you want to complain, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush!"

Old Pig curled his lips, rubbed his head, and went to the side to feel aggrieved!

At this moment, with the exception of Ksitigarbha who was guarding Chang'an, basically everyone from Tang Ku's side had been dispatched.

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion when I strike. Basically, I killed one every few people. If we happened to hit that probability, then our Luck would be too terrible!"

Tang Ku curled his lips and said.

"Hehe, don't worry, Luck is on our side; it won't be that coincidental!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan laughed and said.

Yang Jian had been staring fixedly ahead and suddenly said, "Hmm, they are starting to split up. Those six people are heading southwest... Just as we agreed beforehand, Shi Jingmo and I will take one route to track them..."

As he spoke, Yang Jian had already taken the two of them and flown off together.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan also said, "Hmm, more than a dozen people have flown out; they should also belong to one faction... Wu Zhen, Ao Lie, come with me!"

It turned out that in just this short while, a portion of the group had split off and headed northwest.

The rest of the group continued to track the main force. Suddenly, that group stopped in mid-air, seemingly discussing something, and then nearly thirty people parted ways with the main force and headed straight south.

This group was led by Old Pig, with Nezha and Sha Wujing following, and they also headed southwest.

"Hmm, there are still dozens of people left... Do we have enough manpower on our side?"

The monk in grey cloth clothes said to Tang Ku.

"Hehe, the Dragon Subduing Arhat is still afraid of this? At worst, we'll just split up when the time comes... However... I want to keep a close eye on that Xin Huan!"

Tang Ku laughed and said.

The Dragon Subduing Arhat pondered slightly, then immediately said, "You few, follow me, don't lose your composure..."

The three demon disciples he had just taken in nodded hurriedly. Ever since they converted to Buddhism, both their cultivation and moral character had improved linearly, and they were very willing to follow Arhat Jiang Long everywhere to subdue demons and monsters and accumulate Karma.

There were less than twenty people left in front. Except for Xin Huan who was a commander without troops, the rest actually gathered together and sped off towards the north. Arhat Jiang Long didn't even think about it and took his people to chase after them.

"Alright, it really is within my expectations. Xin Huan is indeed extraordinary!"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, then calculated in his heart, and then followed closely behind Xin Huan, flying towards a certain direction in the west.

In fact, this arrangement of Tang Ku's also had a huge loophole. They had no idea which factions these people belonged to. By splitting up to track them like this, if the remaining people parted ways again, the people tracking them would be stretched thin.

According to Tang Ku and the others' plan, this time it wasn't just for tracking, but to find a way to annihilate as many of them as possible. That was why they split their combat power as evenly as possible, trying to ensure that the combat power of each group would not be too weak.

"Hehe, I'll see exactly which side you belong to, to be so special!"

As he spoke, Tang Ku activated Spiritual Awareness Microscopic, imprinting all of Xin Huan's characteristics into his mind, and then let him fly westward.

After he had flown a few dozen miles, Tang Ku followed far behind, trailing him at a leisurely pace.

Come to think of it, Xin Huan's vigilance seemed much higher than his colleagues'. He first flew forward for a stretch of road, then turned and dove into a deep mountain, circled around several times before finally returning to the main path, continuing to head west, but this time his direction of travel veered towards the northwest.

And after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he flew southwest again.

You have to know, this was in the sky, and at that time there was no such thing as a restricted flight zone, so his tossing and turning back and forth must have been suspicious.

However, Tang Ku did not rush to catch up. He first wandered around the mountain area where Xin Huan had stopped. Seeing that this guy hadn't left anything behind or any clues, he continued to follow and track him. Until an hour later, Xin Huan finally arrived at a city that looked very prosperous and dove straight down.

Tang Ku couldn't help but frown slightly, because he had been here last year; it was exactly that strange country occupied by immortals and gods, the Chechi Kingdom.

"Had he already descended to the mortal realm back then?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, then followed his trail into the city.

However, while still outside the city, Tang Ku could already feel that soaring Spiritual Qi lingering around the city. Taking a look, the city was densely packed with white light spots everywhere; that was the distribution of Immortal Origin Energy.

"In this city... there are no ordinary people left!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Did the Immortal Realm originally have so many people? No... that's not right. Back then, to deal with the monkey, the Heavenly Court only dispatched 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals... A city with a population of one million, it's impossible for them all to be Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and there are other factions too, it's impossible to have so many people... Then what's going on with so much Immortal Origin Energy?"

After pondering slightly, Tang Ku bypassed the guards on both sides and had already entered the city.

With his current strength, even if these people were Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they would not be able to discover even a trace of him.

Actually, there was no need to think about it; even without tracking, Tang Ku knew where Xin Huan would return to. Naturally, it was the power center of this country, the imperial palace.

Concealing himself and sneaking in, no one discovered Tang Ku along the way. He went straight to the inner imperial palace and saw the new king sitting on a corridor outside the back palace bedchamber, holding a book and studying it.

Xin Huan, at this moment, had come to see him!

"Star Lord, I have returned!"

When Xin Huan saw this king, he immediately bowed and knelt, saying in a deep voice, "I failed. Chang'an City's vigilance is very high. If it wasn't for that monk being too arrogant this time, I would already be dead!"

The king put down the book, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Get up... Hmm, where are the others? Why are you the only one back?"

"They are all dead... Hmm, but ninety percent of them were subordinates of another Star Lord, so even if they died, it is of no consequence!" Xin Huan stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

The king nodded, "Tell me in detail exactly what happened!"

Xin Huan nodded and told the so-called Star Lord in front of him everything that happened in Chang'an, down to the last detail. The Star Lord listened and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

"...At the final moment, I thought I was going to die... The little bit of Immortal Origin Energy I had left was almost exhausted, and only then did I barely withstand that blow... That monk is truly too terrifying!" Xin Huan concluded with lingering fear.

"Hmm... Tang Sanzang... Tang Sanzang... How long has it been, and he actually already has such strength?"

The Star Lord pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice, "Wait, you said, how many people behind you died?"

"About thirty or so, why?"

Xin Huan asked, puzzled.

"Not good... You've been tricked!"

The Star Lord suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.
