CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 877: HATCHING EGGS ON BORROWED LAND

"Be careful!"

The elder leading the group was none other than the Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God. Facing the approaching Demon Body, he raised his hand and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Swish!

A heaven-shaking Divine Sword Light fiercely slashed at the demonic cloud.

The strength of this person was too overwhelming. He actually cleaved the demonic cloud apart, forcing the Demon Body within to reveal its true form.

"Ancestor Emperor!"

The elder and others, upon seeing one of the heads of the Demon Body, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

The Demon Body immediately fled deeper into the underground palace, pursued closely by formidable enemies. They were entirely unaware of the faint shadow slipping out of the underground palace.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng had reached the exit of the passage.

Seeing that he was about to escape,

"Who goes there!" The Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God was so formidable that he actually noticed Chu Feng using the Shadow Escape Technique.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Swish!

A multicolored Divine Sword Light fiercely slashed towards Chu Feng.

It moved at extreme speed, like a bolt of lightning.

Arriving in a flash.

The Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God was terrifyingly powerful. If Chu Feng stopped to defend, he would undoubtedly be forced out of invisibility and reveal his form.

At that time, it would be even more dangerous.

At least now, in an invisible state, as long as he didn’t encounter experts of the Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God’s level, Chu Feng wouldn’t have to worry too much. Staying invisible could ensure he smoothly escaped the Imperial Palace.

The most dangerous place was the Imperial Palace.

Once out of the palace, Chu Feng would find a way to return to the Outer City and reunite with his main forces.

Then, he’d be safe.

Now that his Abnormal Fire had advanced to the Eighth Grade, once Chu Feng was back in the Outer City, he could immediately focus on crafting the Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir.

The sword light was already behind him when Chu Feng decisively released the Sword Shadow Worm from his sleeve.

It opened its mouth and swallowed the multicolored Divine Sword Light attacking Chu Feng.

"Go!"

The Poison Spider Ring on Chu Feng’s hand shot out a colorless thread, pulling the Sword Shadow Worm back into his sleeve.

Taking advantage of this momentary pause, Chu Feng successfully escaped the underground palace, and without saying a word, accelerated his flight towards the outside.

At this moment, a large number of Forbidden Army troops were already searching within the Imperial Mausoleum.

However, with Chu Feng employing the Shadow Escape Technique, he was like an invisible man to them. He boldly flew towards the exit of the mausoleum.

...

Inside the underground palace, the Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God intended to give chase, but as he turned, Chu Feng’s Demon Body delivered a fierce blow, instantly eliminating a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God.

They had already lost several Supreme Sword Gods in succession, nearly causing this Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God immense distress.

It’s important to know that the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom had accumulated for countless years, and only managed to gather over twenty of the most core Supreme Sword Gods. Unlike those heavily funded Divine Generals, these individuals were of the Azure Dragon Royal Family’s bloodline.

They were absolutely loyal to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

They formed the core, and were the stabilizer of Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Every loss of one was a painful blow to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

"Ah, Ancestors, how can you kill your own people? They are your Princes and Grandsons!" The elder sighed in grief and indignation, unable to do anything but remain and find a way to deal with Chu Feng’s Demon Body first.

As for the escaping Chu Feng, the elder solemnly commanded, "Fifth Elder, take two people to pursue the one who got away! Remember, be extremely cautious."

"Don’t worry, leader, that rat won’t escape the Imperial Palace!" The speaker was also an elder, with a green birthmark on his forehead.

Despite his unimpressive appearance, his cultivation was not weak by any means, clearly possessing the cultivation of a Four Tribulation Supreme Sword God.

Among the top experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, he was second only to the eldest.

Sending him with two others to hunt down Chu Feng reassured the leader.

...

Once Chu Feng escaped the mausoleum, he couldn’t help but recall the palace maid he encountered when infiltrating the palace.

He subconsciously glanced towards the depths of the palace—Chang’e, that damned woman, was inside.

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, sighing, "Impatience spoils great plans! Two beloved wives and four hundred thousand troops await me back in the Outer City. If something happens to me in the palace, they would all perish."

"Forget it, after I craft the Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir, then I’ll come back to settle the score with you, damn woman."

Having made his decision, Chu Feng quickly fled towards the outside of the palace.

He occasionally saw patrols of Forbidden Army troops; the eunuchs and palace maids were all trembling with fear, extraordinarily cautious.

The atmosphere within the Azure Dragon Palace was extremely tense.

It’s difficult to get in from the outside. It’s equally challenging to get out.

Deep in the palace, with its closed courtyards, Chu Feng had to exert considerable effort to finally escape the palace.

This time, entering the palace was a perilous journey, barely surviving.

Fortunately, the gains were substantial, achieving Chu Feng’s objective.

Once outside the palace, Chu Feng felt much more at ease.

However, he still dared not linger and accelerated towards the Outer City. He wondered about the situation with the troops there during his absence.

When he neared the city gate, he immediately halted.

For he noticed three Supreme Sword Gods guarding the area, one of whom had an aura at the same level as Qiu Jizi of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

There was no doubt this person was a Four Tribulation Supreme Sword God.

Chu Feng dared not act recklessly.

After utilizing the Shadow Escape Technique for so long, his body was increasingly weakened.

Attempting to forcibly break through the city gate would have nearly zero chance of success.

It would expose his position and be as good as walking into a trap.

"Damn it, these guys sure act quickly!" Chu Feng cursed inwardly, knowing he couldn’t just stand there foolishly. The Shadow Escape Technique consumed tremendous amounts of Sword Essence.

The loss of Essence blood was considerable as well.

Every additional second cost him more.

Recalling his first entry to the inner city, he had smelled a rich medicinal fragrance near a certain residence. Chu Feng surmised that there might be an Alchemy room within.

It’s better to use the opportunity; once the Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir is crafted, he’ll fear nothing.

He’ll no longer have to sneak around like this.

Chu Feng immediately flew swiftly towards that residence.

Soon, a magnificent residence appeared before him.

"Pang Residence!"

Though it was only two simple words, it emitted a heavy air of importance.

Surrounding the residence were Prince Mansion, various Commander Mansions, and the like.

The scale and grandeur of the Pang Residence were in no way inferior to that of the Prince Mansions.

Two guards stood at the entrance, their strength was not insignificant.

Chu Feng ignored them, directly scaling the wall to enter.

A mere residence was nothing in his eyes.

Inside, Chu Feng’s senses were refreshed once again. The interior was scenic, with carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions, and terraces, and high-end facilities, all enough to signify the owner’s extremely noble status.

The plaque inside was personally penned by the Heavenly Emperor of the day.

The signature was none other than Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s title.
