Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 455: Exposure

In the blink of an eye, a day and a half had passed.

Only half a day’s journey remained to the Great Xia.

However, the speed of the group had decreased even more.

The closer they approached the border line, the more patrol soldiers there were.

Perhaps because they had not been discovered, Great Chu had gathered more soldiers near the border.

No matter what, Ling Chen and his team had to return to Great Xia from the border.

"Captain Li, from here on, our two teams should separate. If we move together, we’re too conspicuous."

Ling Chen said.

With twenty people in two teams, even within the forest, the noise was somewhat large, drawing too much attention.

Previously, they had nearly been discovered on several occasions.

Luckily, thanks to Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis probing, they had managed to avoid detection.

"Alright!"

Li Changhe nodded.

He had actually hoped to stick with Ling Chen.

Not only because Ling Chen was powerful, but also because as a Divine Thought Master, his ability to scout out the enemy was uniquely effective.

However, with the increasing density of the enemies’ search, it was becoming more difficult to advance together.

In the recent two hours, their speed of progress had noticeably slowed.

At this rate, it would probably take them two days to return to Great Xia.

"Okay! Then we’ll advance in the southwest direction, while you head southeast."

Ling Chen instructed.

"Mm, thank you, Captain Ling!"

Li Changhe said.

The southwest direction was closer to Great Chu’s Southern Forest Army. Ling Chen’s decision was clearly with their benefit in mind.

"Let’s hope we can meet again in Great Xia."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Definitely!"

Li Changhe nodded emphatically.

Then, he set out in the southeast direction.

Ling Chen watched as Li Changhe’s team departed, then turned to his own teammates, his voice heavy with gravity, "The next stretch will be exceedingly dangerous. Therefore, you must unconditionally follow my commands, understand?"

"Understood!"

Yang Xiu and the others roared in unison.

"Good! Let’s move!"

Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis swept out, detecting southwestwards. Sensing no one nearby, he led the team forward.

"Get down!"

Ling Chen suddenly transmitted his voice.

During their journey, they generally communicated via telepathy.

"Yes."

Everyone immediately lay down.

"Whoosh!"

Three silhouettes flew past in the sky, as their gazes swept down towards them.

In addition to the ground search, there were also Cultivators surveying from the sky.

Not until the three silhouettes disappeared did Ling Chen and the others continue on their way.

An hour later.

"This direction won’t work, there are too many soldiers ahead."

Ling Chen said ruefully.

Under the detection of his Divine Soul Telekinesis, ahead there were four to five teams of soldiers searching.

It was too difficult for their group of ten to pass by; they would probably be discovered instantly.

An hour later.

Ling Chen and his group once again changed directions.

In the span of a few hours, Ling Chen’s team had changed their direction of advance ten times, but they hadn’t gotten significantly closer to Great Xia.

"Retreat!"

Ordered Ling Chen.

However, just as they began to move backward, a group of soldiers approached from behind.

Eyes met, and they realized they were facing the enemy.

"We’ve found them!"

The group of Great Chu Soldiers immediately shouted.

At the same time, they sent out the message.

"Strike!"

Ling Chen let out a low shout, and a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis swept out, instantly enveloping the five men, causing the squad of soldiers to immediately fall into dizziness.

Two soldiers with too low cultivation were directly slain!

Yang Xiu’s figure flashed like lightning, and with a sweep of sword light, he directly beheaded the remaining three men.

Their eleven-member team, with Ling Chen being the strongest and a Divine Thought Master, was responsible for leading the way at the front. Yang Xiu, second only in strength, was responsible for covering the rear.

They had been retreating just now, so after Ling Chen launched the Divine Soul Attack, Yang Xiu took action to kill the enemy.

"Who’s there?"

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of several squads of soldiers ahead.

"Captain Ling, what should we do?"

Yang Xiu asked.

The expressions of the others were also filled with utmost urgency. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Quickly kill them and then retreat!"

Ling Chen said.

Since they had been exposed, they would first kill the nearby soldiers and then quickly withdraw.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the order, Mu Yun, Ling Wu, and the others swiftly took action, attacking the seven squads of soldiers rushing over from the surroundings.

The cultivation levels of these soldiers were not high, the highest being only at the sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Thus, under the Divine Soul Attacks by Ling Chen, no one could resist.

The members of the eleven-person team quickly made their move, and within a few dozen breaths, they had slaughtered the seven squads of Great Chu Soldiers.

"Retreat!"

Ling Chen shouted, and everyone immediately fled in a certain direction.

They absolutely could not stay in this location.

"Hmm?"

Not far away, a pair of soldiers were searching, and the leading cultivator’s eyes suddenly sharpened: "Did you hear that? There seems to be a strange noise over there?"

"Seems like it."

A soldier responded.

"Go!"

The leading cultivator immediately unfolded his movement technique and rushed towards the source of the sound.

Within a single breath, the cultivator’s figure had disappeared into the woods.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The soldiers shouted, but they could not even make out the figure of the cultivator.

This person was none other than Jiang Sen, the personal guard to the Marshal of the Southern Forest Army.

Though called a guard, his role was far from ordinary.

His cultivation was astonishingly in the midstage of the nine-layer Primordial Pill Realm!

He stayed here for the purpose of guarding against top fighters from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Coincidentally, this area was under his jurisdiction.

Ever since he learned about Ling Chen’s terrifying strength, the Southern Forest Marshal deployed most of the ninth layer powerhouses under his command.

It was all to kill Ling Chen.

Even if they couldn’t kill him, they could at least delay him for some time until other powerful fighters could arrive.

In the woods, a silhouette was moving swiftly.

It was Jiang Sen.

Being at the ninth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm and without the need to conceal his movements, his speed was extremely fast.

In just half an hour, he had discovered Ling Chen and his group.

Upon sensing the cultivation levels of Ling Chen and the others, he was certain that these were the people he was looking for.

"You scum from Great Xia, halt!"

Jiang Sen’s figure moved, deploying the Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique and directly appearing in front of the advancing Ling Chen and his group.

"They’ve caught up so quickly?"

Ling Chen stopped in his tracks, looking over towards the newcomer.

Gradual seriousness surged in his eyes.

For, this person turned out to be a midstage powerhouse in the Primordial Pill Realm nine-layer!

Yang Xiu and the others’ faces also showed panic, obviously, they could not sense the cultivation level of the newcomer, but they knew that this person was extremely powerful.

Jiang Sen’s gaze immediately locked onto Ling Chen.

When he sensed Ling Chen’s precise cultivation level, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Ling Chen, speaking coldly: "Are you the one who killed two of my Blood Dragon Squads?"

The Marshal had told them about Ling Chen.

The most obvious was his not high cultivation, but formidable strength.

Moreover, looking at this squad’s formation, it was clearly centered around Ling Chen.

"Marshal, I’ve found the ringleader! However, there is only one Red Feather Team here; the whereabouts of the other are unknown."

Jiang Sen took out a Token to send a message.

Soon, the voice of the Marshal came from the Token: "Stop him for me, someone will soon be there to help you!"
