Immortal God of War

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1171: Narrow Paths Cross

The stele, towering hundreds of zhang, seemed like a majestic mountain, standing between heaven and earth.

After withdrawing from the heartland, Ren Duxing stood above the stele, gazing at the giant peak with an uncertain look.

Zhang Jin’s eyes flickered slightly and suggested, "Master, why don’t we go find Lu Xingchen and bring back the space divine artifact?"

Dong Qing suddenly realized, "Right, the space divine artifact is also a Divine Artifact, along with the Demon Crystal and the War Sword, that makes three Divine Artifacts; perhaps they can withstand the erosion of the black mist."

Ren Duxing shook his head, "Though the space divine artifact is a Divine Artifact, it doesn’t possess much divine might."

He implied that Lu Xingchen’s space divine artifact was not of much defensive use against the erosion of the black mist.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Jin furrowed his brows tightly and suddenly seemed to think of something, "What about your Divine Bone?"

Ren Duxing remained silent.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Jin and Dong Qing exchanged glances, completely at a loss as to what Ren Duxing was thinking.

The Sacred Monkey glanced at Ren Duxing, angrily whispered, "There are things you don’t understand, don’t suggest randomly."

"Huh?"

The two looked at it, confused.

"The owner of this dragon claw had a higher cultivation than the master, even though there’s only one dragon claw now, but the master is currently in a weakened state."

"Although the master’s Divine Bone is the body of the War God, without the Divine Soul and Divine Blood, it cannot exert peak power."

"Thus, even if the master’s Divine Sense enters the Divine Bone, it cannot shake this dragon claw."

The Sacred Monkey transmitted.

The Sacred Eagle followed in a deep voice, "This is secondary; the most important thing is, if the master’s Divine Bone is damaged because of this, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult for the master to restore peak cultivation in the future."

"Stronger than the master’s peak period?"

Zhang Jin and Dong Qing were dumbfounded.

"Exactly!"

The Four Sacred Beasts nodded.

Inside, Zhang Jin thought, "Just what kind of monster is it?"

"Monster?"

The Sacred Monkey was stunned for a moment and sighed inwardly, "That name is quite fitting for it."

After saying this, it became silent.

The other three Sacred Beasts remained silent as well.

Upon seeing them.

Both Zhang Jin and Dong Qing exchanged glances, eyes full of disbelief.

But seeing the Four Sacred Beasts remain silent, they dared not continue asking.

Time passed little by little.

No one knew how long had passed when Ren Duxing clenched his fists, saying in a low voice, "I must acquire the dragon claw today, go to the Imperial Capital immediately and retrieve my Divine Bone!"

"Master, this is no trivial matter, please think twice!"

"Indeed, especially since Lu Xingchen is currently in the Imperial Capital, and the teleportation altar is located in the back mountain of the imperial palace, guarded by Elder Qin. We can’t enter!"

The Four Sacred Beasts were shocked and spoke quickly.

"Can’t you figure something out?"

Ren Duxing shouted.

The Four Sacred Beasts lowered their heads in silence.

If only Elder Qin guarded the Imperial Capital, they might dare to take a chance, but besides Elder Qin, there were other Pseudo Gods in the Imperial Capital.

Given their current strength, entering the Imperial Capital would be a suicide mission!

"I’ll go!"

Suddenly.

Zhang Jin bit his teeth and spoke.

"Hm?"

The Four Sacred Beasts looked at him in disbelief.

Zhang Jin said, "Qin Feiyang has infiltrated the Imperial Capital multiple times without being discovered; I believe I have the same capability!"

Dong Qing furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "It seems you’re determined to compete with Qin Feiyang."

Zhang Jin sneered, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; I’ve endured humiliation for so long, it’s time for my rise!"

"Excellent."

Ren Duxing nodded approvingly and waved, "Go, I’ll be waiting here."

Zhang Jin opened a teleportation portal and confidently walked through.

Watching Zhang Jin’s back, Dong Qing raised an eyebrow and turned to Ren Duxing, questioning, "Master, you and the Divine Bone can sense each other, why send Zhang Jin?"

Ren Duxing replied, "While I can indeed sense the Divine Bone, it is limited to the Nine Great Provinces. Now that the Divine Bone is in the Imperial Capital, I cannot sense its location, let alone communicate with it."

Dong Qing nodded in realization.

The Sacred Monkey advised, "Master, I implore you to reconsider!"

Ren Duxing waved dismissively, "No more words. If I don’t seize the dragon claw this time, it will surely end up in Qin Feiyang’s hands again."

The Sacred Monkey puzzledly asked, "He doesn’t know we’re here, nor does he know the dragon claw is here. How could it fall into his hands?"

Ren Duxing put away the Demon Crystal and swiftly grabbed the War Sword, "Because I’ve told him that this War Sword was obtained in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. With his suspicious nature, he will surely come to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range to investigate sooner or later."

The Sacred Monkey raised an eyebrow.

This master is overly suspicious!

Whoosh!!!

Just then.

The sound of breaking through the air came.

"Someone’s coming?"

"Could it really be Qin Feiyang?"

The Sacred Monkey turned around to look, eyes filled with doubt.

At the same time!

Ren Duxing, Dong Qing, and the other three Sacred Beasts frowned, looking up to see a series of silhouettes lightning-like breaking through the void from afar.

Leading the group was an old man.

White hair and beard, with an immortal-like demeanor.

But at this moment, the old man’s gaze was extremely grim, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

Behind the old man was a group of men in black, all expressionless, with eyes as sharp as blades.

"It’s him!"

Upon seeing the old man, Dong Qing’s pupils contracted sharply.

"Who?"

The Sacred Monkey whispered.

"The State Preceptor of the current dynasty!"

Zhang Jin said.

Indeed, the visitors were the State Preceptor and the Law Enforcers from the inner hall!

"What?"

The Sacred Monkey’s color changed, its gaze becoming extremely grave.

The Sacred Eagle, Sacred Lion, and Sacred Python also tightened their minds, cautiously alert.

As for Ren Duxing.

He stared intently at the State Preceptor, eyes filled with cold light.

But finally.

The cold light in his eyes dissipated, and he put away the War Sword, appearing extremely calm as he quietly awaited the arrival of the State Preceptor and others.

Because now, even if they wanted to hide, it was too late; the State Preceptor had already discovered them.

"Sir, there are people ahead."

At the same time.

A brawny man in black pointed at Ren Duxing and his companions, speaking softly to the State Preceptor.

"I can see them."

The State Preceptor said expressionlessly, sweeping his gaze over Ren Duxing and the group, with a hint of doubt in his old eyes.

Why is Qin Feiyang unseen?

Could these people be Qin Feiyang’s associates?

Whether Ren Duxing, Dong Qing, or the Four Sacred Beasts, the State Preceptor had never seen them, naturally unsure of their identities.

Moreover, now, both individuals and beasts appeared aged and weak; even if seen before, recognition might be difficult.

However.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Since these two people and four beasts have reached the depths of the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, their strength must be considerable.

Swish!

Suddenly!

The State Preceptor halted his steps, standing in the void a hundred zhang from Ren Duxing and others.

The enforcers behind him also made a sudden stop, coming to a halt.

The State Preceptor commanded, "Go interrogate them."

"Yes!"

A middle-aged man dressed in black responded softly and flew towards Ren Duxing and the others.

Upon seeing this.

Dong Qing and the Four Sacred Beasts’ eyes flickered with cold light from deep within.

"Don’t act impulsively."

Ren Duxing advised internally.

Upon hearing this.

The cold light in the eyes of Dong Qing and the Four Sacred Beasts swiftly dissipated.
