Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 485: Whereabouts

Throughout the journey, the two conversed little.

In their hearts, however, each harbored his own schemes.

Ling Chen occasionally sized up the State Preceptor, even feeling the impulse to strike him down on the spot.

Although the State Preceptor was a high-grade, high-class Divine Thought Master, he did not feel intimidated.

With his Sunlight Holy Body, while his Divine Soul cultivation was only in the late stage of transformation, his strength was not much different from that of a high-grade, high-class Divine Thought Master.

However, considering his father was still trapped in the hands of Great Xia Jiu You, if he acted now, it would certainly be satisfying for the moment.

But that would expose himself.

Moreover, it would make any future moves against Great Xia Jiu You even more difficult.

Therefore, Ling Chen desperately suppressed the impulse in his heart.

And the State Preceptor occasionally glanced over at Ling Chen.

His aim, of course, was to prevent Ling Chen from escaping and wasting the elaborate preparations he had made. If Ling Chen spotted any flaws, he would act immediately.

Time passed, and the two remained unscathed.

Perhaps because each harbored his own schemes, they desperately slowed down their pace, showing weakness to the enemy.

From the Academic Palace to the ambush point, what was usually a journey of an hour, it took them one and a half hours to still not arrive, clearly aiming for two hours.

Two hours later.

"Ling Chen, wait here for a moment, there’s something unusual up ahead!"

The State Preceptor suddenly spoke.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded.

Upon seeing this, the State Preceptor cautiously flew forward, sweeping around with his Divine Soul Telekinesis.

Ling Chen also mobilized his Divine Soul Telekinesis to probe.

Of course, he only controlled his Divine Soul Telekinesis to the level of a middle-grade superior Divine Thought Master.

"A Spirit Array?"

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed.

From below, he sensed the aura of many high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

From their distribution, there seemed to be traces of a Spirit Array being formed.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

However, just then, countless streaks of light shot into the sky, engulfing the entire area where Ling Chen was.

Both Ling Chen and the State Preceptor were inside the Spirit Array.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen’s expression changed.

The Spiritual Power in his body was completely disintegrated.

And when he tried to mobilize the Spiritual Power in his Dantian’s Primordial Pill, he found that an invisible force was binding it, and he couldn’t mobilize the slightest bit of Spiritual Power.

Deprived of Spiritual Power, Ling Chen’s figure started falling down instantly.

Ling Chen quickly mobilized his Divine Soul Telekinesis, turning the imaginary into the real, allowing him to hover in the air.

"Who is it?"

Ling Chen’s eyes immediately swept around.

There was an array among these Spirit Arrays that actually sealed Spiritual Power, which was clearly directed at him.

However, there was no one around.

"Could it be Moon Shadow’s people?"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

He killed the assassin from Moon Shadow, and Jiang Family Patriarch Jiang Buxiang was hiding on the run. It was very likely that Moon Shadow would make another move, so Moon Shadow was his first suspect.

However, at this moment, the State Preceptor not far from him smiled and said, "No need to look, there are no others."

"It’s you!"

Ling Chen immediately realized.

Controlling a Spirit Array required a Spirit Array Master.

Since there were only the two of them here, and he hadn’t arranged these Spirit Arrays, it must undoubtedly be the State Preceptor.

"Why?"

Ling Chen stared at the State Preceptor, asking coldly.

"Blame your own talent for being too strong, even the King felt threatened."

The State Preceptor laughed.

As the controller of the Spirit Array, he was naturally aware of Ling Chen’s current situation.

With Spiritual Power sealed, Ling Chen could only rely on his Divine Soul Telekinesis to battle him.

This is the reliance he had!

It’s the reason why he dared to confront and attempt to slay Ling Chen, who was at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

If Ling Chen could utilize his Spiritual Power, perhaps he would not dare to contend with him.

But a Ling Chen who couldn’t use Spiritual Power was merely a superior mid-rank Divine Thought Master, utterly insignificant in his eyes, a superior high-rank Divine Thought Master.

"Xia Jiuyou wants to kill me?"

Ling Chen asked with an icy expression.

"That’s correct!"

The State Preceptor nodded, snickering, and said, "What, you think a State Preceptor like me would dare to kill a prodigy like you on my own?"

"This Great Xia, after all, belongs to Xia Jiuyou!"

The State Preceptor’s voice carried a hint of regret.

"Just because of my talent?"

Ling Chen asked again.

The State Preceptor laughed, "More or less! Of course, there’s another reason: you are Ling Tianxing’s son."

"My father?"

Ling Chen’s eyes revealed a trace of suspicion.

Of course, he was doing it on purpose.

He hoped to extract the whereabouts of his father to facilitate his rescue.

"Ha ha!"

The State Preceptor chuckled derisively, "Kid, the truth be told, your father is not dead."

"What?"

Ling Chen pretended to be utterly shocked.

The State Preceptor’s face grew even more amused, "Kid, your father is actually imprisoned within the Palace by Xia Jiuyou himself."

"I am not without skill myself; I possess the ability to transplant other people’s special constitutions! Thus, Xia Jiuyou captured your father, and I personally transferred his unique Sacred Body constitution onto Xia Jiuyou."

"I must say, your father truly was gifted! He possessed an extremely rare Sacred Body."

"It seems you have inherited your father’s talents! You have such a high aptitude in the realm of Sword Dao."

"Your father is a Sacred Body, I wonder what kind of constitution you are? It should be at least a Super Spiritual Body, right? I am curious; after you die, I will investigate thoroughly."

Saying this, the State Preceptor excitedly rubbed his hands together, his gaze fixed on Ling Chen.

"Where have you imprisoned my father?"

Ling Chen demanded through clenched teeth.

A startling murderous intent surfaced on his body.

"Trying to save your father? Don’t dream. Better look at your own situation first!"

The State Preceptor said with a smile.

"Tell me! Even if I die, I want to be a ghost that understands!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

"Hm!"

The State Preceptor nodded, "You know your place well! But telling you is useless, your father is personally guarded by Xia Jiuyou. Do you think, with your strength, you can rescue him? To tell you the truth, your father is imprisoned in the dungeons beneath Zhengyang Palace. Only me and Xia Jiuyou have access."

"Zhengyang Palace dungeons!"

Ling Chen nodded.

He had previously speculated that his father’s location was probably not far from Xia Jiuyou.

It turned out to be beneath Zhengyang Palace.

Now that he knew the location, the rest would be much easier.

There was no need to blunder around like a headless fly.

"Alright, kid, you know enough, time for me to send you on your way!"

The State Preceptor grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Send me on my way? Are you worthy?"

Ling Chen sneered.

Previously, he was only playacting.

Even if his Divine Soul wasn’t as strong as the State Preceptor’s, he wasn’t in any danger of protecting himself.

And Uncle Cang was nearby.

If he noticed his absence, he would surely come to rescue him very soon!

"Master, come quickly!"

Ling Chen directly took out a Communication Token and transmitted a message.

However, the State Preceptor merely sneered, "What a joke, do you really think Liu Qingcang can come to save you? Even if he came here, he would be trapped for ten days to half a month, by then, you’ll probably be long dead!"

He had already set up everything beforehand; unless a King at the Palace Mansion Realm came, it would be absolutely impossible to break his trapping array.
