Chapter 1672: 1672
Sou sou sou!
Using the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, Zhang Xuan concealed his figure and quickly advanced toward the encampment of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe .
It didn't take long for him to arrive before the enemy barracks and halted his footsteps .
'Cruck cruck cruck', his bones and muscles began warping, and his height by a chi . By the time he was done, he looked no different from any other Otherworldly Demons .
Of course, he didn't neglect to alter his aura either . This time around, however, he held himself back quite a bit such that the killing intent he emanated wasn't as pure as what it would ordinarily be . It was even beneath the level of Greenleaf King and the others, no different from an ordinary soldier in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe .
After completing his disguise, he descended onto the ground . He swiftly found a group of patrolling soldiers and discreetly crept up to the Otherworldly Demon soldier lagging behind at the back . Raising his finger, he tapped the back of the Otherworldly Demon soldier lightly .
Puhe!
It was a silent first blood . He hurriedly kept the corpse of the Otherworldly Demon soldier into his storage ring .
After cleaning up the scene, he quickly morphed his appearance into that of the Otherworldly Demon soldier . Of course, he wouldn't forget something as basic as to change his clothes as well .
So, when he revealed his figure once more, he was already wearing a heavy set of armor with a long spear in his hand . He broke free of the group he was following and marched his way into the main encampment .
The Otherworldly Demons were very particular with their defenses . It was apparent with a swift glance that the defensive formations they had set up were the work of an expert . It was fortunate that Sword Saint Xing had made the call to stand guard at the fortress . If they had really attempted to breach these formations, the Zhang Clan could very well lose half of its entire army .
These formations are slightly dissimilar to those of the Formation Master Guild . They are inscribed using the runes of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . Those who step into these formations will be struck by a gush of killing intent, placing them in a state of disorientation… Zhang Xuan thought as he analyzed the formations carefully .
He had encountered similar formations when he descended into the Subterranean Gallery the first time around . However, the formations he had seen back then could only be said to be mediocre compared to those standing before him right now .
Even Saint 9-dan experts would suffer a bout of light-headedness if they were to barge into the formations carelessly, let alone weaker cultivators .
Of course, due to their unique constitution, these formations wouldn't affect Otherworldly Demons .
As Zhang Xuan proceeded ahead, he carefully analyzed the structure of the formations and deduced the locations of their cruxes . Following which, he discreetly infused his Heaven's Path zhenqi into those formations . However, he didn't rush into destroying them .
He was here to scout intelligence . If he were to destroy the formations right now, it would only expose the presence of a spy within the encampment, thus tightening the security of the base . That would only make it harder for him to do his job .
So far, the cultivation of the Otherworldly Demons he had encountered ranged from Saint 3-dan to Saint 9-dan . He hadn't encountered any Great Sage Otherworldly Demon yet, but they could just be located in the deeper parts of the encampment .
The Qingtian Lineage can't even begin to compare to this… Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head .
The Otherworldly Demon Kings of the Qingtian Lineage had only barely reached Primordial Spirit realm, and even the Qingtian Emperor himself was only at Saint 6-dan Grand Dominion realm . That bit of fighting prowess was truly pathetic compared to the troops right before him .
From the looks of it, it seemed like there was a massive gap in abilities even amongst fellow 'Emperors' . Of course, it could also be possible that the Qingtian Lineage was an exception .
It was a pity that Vicious was still in a state of hibernation at the moment . Otherwise, Vicious would surely have regained another significant portion of his memories after fusing with his upper body . He would be able to ask the latter about the circumstances in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and take precautions against them accordingly .
"Your are supposed to patrol the area and check if there are any threats in the area . Why are you loitering around here?"
All of a sudden, Zhang Xuan heard a harsh voice sounding behind him . Turning his head around, he saw an Otherworldly Demon wearing a black helmet walking toward him with a displeased frown on his forehead .
The Otherworldly Demon was at Saint 8-dan . Judging from his tone, it seemed like he was a relatively high ranking officer in the army .
He spoke in the native tongue of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . Fortunately, Zhang Xuan had already learned the language the first time he descended into a Subterranean Gallery . In fact, it was using the language that he managed to fool the Goldenleaf King and the Greenleaf King into killing one another .
"Someone has just switched places with me, so I came back to the encampment to rest a while!" Zhang Xuan quickly lowered his head and bowed .
Zhang Xuan noted that the Otherworldly Demon soldier had just switched shift with another group, and that was also the primary reason why he chose to attack the latter . If the Otherworldly Demon soldier was still on his shift, it might have taken him a bit more trouble to switch positions with him .
"Follow me . There's something I need you to do!" the black helmet Otherworldly Demon harrumphed coldly as he beckoned Zhang Xuan to follow him .
