Swish! Qin Chen swiftly took Elder Gu Xu and concealed themselves in a corner of Mount Fire God. The entire process was silent, and no one noticed at all.
Not long after Qin Chen brought Elder Gu Xu out of this secret space, a figure quietly appeared outside. This figure was sneaky, dressed in a black robe, making it impossible to discern their face.
If Qin Chen were here, he would certainly recognize this person as Elder Tianxing.
Elder Tianxing cautiously began to activate the formation of this sealed space, meticulously breaking it apart. After a moment, he flashed and instantly appeared inside the space, looking up at the place where Elder Gu Xu was bound.
However, when he looked up, he was struck with shock, and cold sweat broke out all over him.
Elder Gu Xu had actually vanished.
“Not good, could it be a trap?”
Elder Tianxing hurriedly retreated, but until he exited the sealed space, no one had made a move against him.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still filled with fear. Where could Elder Gu Xu have gone?
It should be known that he had deliberately interrogated Elder Gu Xu to analyze the formation structure of this sealed space. Now that he had finally succeeded, Elder Gu Xu was gone.
Could it be that Elder Gu Xu had been transferred by Elder Yehe?
No, that’s not right.
Elder Tianxing shook his head, confident that he had not been exposed. Although during the interrogation, he had intentionally released some information to Elder Gu Xu to reveal his identity, even if Elder Gu Xu had guessed it, he could not have spoken of his existence.
All of them, the traitors, bore the dark mark within them, and once they made any move to leak their concealed secrets, their souls would be scattered in an instant, something even a Heaven Venerable could not prevent.
This was the confidence that allowed them to never be discovered.
But if it was not Elder Yehe who transferred him, then where had Elder Gu Xu gone?
Hmm?
Elder Tianxing suddenly noticed that there seemed to be traces of damage in the formation, clearly indicating that someone had been here before him.
Could there be other people lurking in this Heavenly Work Great Camp besides Elder Gu Xu and himself?
“Who could it be?”
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly, a fierce shout came from afar, and a stream of light swiftly flew toward him.
Elder Tianxing’s expression changed, and he quickly vanished.
On the other side, Qin Chen had taken Elder Gu Xu to a concealed spot at the edge of the camp.
Boom! Looking up, the entire Heavenly Work Camp was sealed by a terrifying formation, flowing with strands of horrible light. These lights formed a canopy that enveloped the entire camp. Anyone who came into contact with this canopy would surely be discovered by Elder Yehe and the other powerful individuals.
“The earth origin melting fire formation, Elder Yehe is truly despicable. He actually activated the most top-tier formation of the Heavenly Work. Only with the earth origin pearl, which controls the core of the formation, can one enter and exit silently. Otherwise, even a Peak Earth Venerable would struggle to infiltrate it unnoticed,” Elder Gu Xu said quietly, his face grim.
“Don’t worry, since I’ve stepped out to save you, I naturally have a way to get you out of here.” Qin Chen replied with a cold smile.
“Oh? What method?” Elder Gu Xu looked over.
“Hmph, you don’t need to know that.”
Qin Chen led Elder Gu Xu to the formation. Suddenly, his right hand spread out toward the formation before him. A buzzing sound echoed as an invisible ripple began to gradually seep into the formation, quickly disassembling the formation in front of them. In the next moment, an opening slowly appeared before Elder Gu Xu and Qin Chen.
Elder Gu Xu’s face instantly revealed a look of suspicion.
When did Elder Tianxing's proficiency in the formation become so profound? This technique was likely far scarier than his own.
“Elder Tianxing, you truly are well hidden. No wonder you took the initiative to interrogate me; with these methods, you can’t just go anywhere in this Heavenly Work Great Camp?” Elder Gu Xu said with a sinister tone.
