Chapter 1026: Stepping into the Enemy Formation

After Hu Kan took the flag, the members of the processing bureau searched the surrounding area and found that there were many people here who should be members of the punitive army that pursued the imperial army that year.

These people may have ended up here together and were unable to get out. But now they are all mixed together and it is difficult to tell who is who.

Chen Chuan gave instructions and asked someone to record the matter. After the matter was over, he asked the Yangzhi Municipal Government to carefully identify the remains and properly handle them.

Lan Shen Gu then took the opportunity to go inside and quickly arranged the cracking ceremony. After finishing it, he led everyone to several other problematic places. At the same time, he recruited some people from the processing bureau to help. Even if these people did not understand the secret ceremony, they could help him clear the surrounding obstacles and move some heavy ritual objects.

However, wherever they went, they could see all sorts of eerie and strange sculptures. Mo Xiaoyi quietly asked, "Brother, why do the statues here look so scary?"

Lan Shen Gu said, "This place was originally supposed to be a sacred place for the Maka people. Later, the imperial court used this place to build a secret treasure, so I don't have to put in any extra effort."

"oh."

Lan Shen Gu said it lightly, but he knew that this place was actually not that simple. The old imperial family probably only used half of it. As for the other half...

He looked into the depths and felt that there might be something hidden there, but it had nothing to do with the secret treasures and rifts, so he didn't say much about it and would remind people after the matter was over.

Half a day passed, and the Lanshen Gu siblings finally dismantled the rituals in various places and rearranged them.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and came to Chen Chuan. "Director Chen, the rift has stabilized and is now pointing back to its original location. However, because the key lock is broken and we can't get the other side to cooperate, it may take some time to expand the passage."

Everyone is now standing at the place where the crack exists. They can see a flickering light on the stone wall. This is the passage left by the old imperial family. However, this light is very weak, only about half the size of a person, and it is barely maintained. It is not easy for ordinary people to pass through, and tall and strong people cannot pass through at all.

Chen Chuan took a look and thought that if he used the Xuejun Sword to cut it, he could tear the crack apart, but with so many people present, it was not convenient to use this method.

He asked, “How long will it take to expand further?”

Lan Shengu looked behind him and said, "The ritual objects have limited endurance. It may take another seven or eight hours to expand a passageway wide enough to pass through while ensuring that it is not damaged."

The leader of the old imperial family was actually preparing to do this and had been making arrangements for a while. He used this person to make the arrangements and reconstruction. If it weren't for this foundation, it might have taken even longer.

Chen Chuanshuo said, "So, if we don't care about the ritual objects, we can immediately expand the passage here?"

Lan Shengu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, but doing so may not last for more than a few minutes, and then the rift itself may not be able to sustain..."

Chen Chuan said, "That's it."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lan Shen Gu didn't say anything else and said, "I'll go right away."

After only ten minutes, everyone felt the temperature in the cave begin to rise, and there was a slight tingling sensation on their skin. Then the crack in front began to emit a brighter light and gradually expanded outward, but when it reached about three meters in length, it stopped and could no longer expand outward.

Lan Shen Gu came back and said, "Director, this is all we can do for now. It can probably last an hour or two."

Hu Kan said, "It still doesn't look big enough." Not to mention that there are so many tall men here, and he is carrying the flag here. If it is thrown here, it always feels like something is missing.

Chen Chuan said: "If it's not big enough, then stretch it out a little bit."

He walked to the front, and under the gaze of everyone, two huge hands, real or fake, suddenly appeared behind him. With a bang, they placed themselves on the edge of the crack and then slowly pushed outwards.

At this time, the ground began to tremble slightly, and then the entire cave was filled with rumbling sounds, as if it could not withstand his power, and the cracks slowly and steadily expanded outward under this power.

Chen Chuan looked ahead, and the increasingly bright light from the opposite side shone on his face and body.

When he hid in the rift that day, Wei Guochan tried to break the barrier of the rift, because fighters themselves have a certain ability to pass through the rift.

Some fighters with unique and powerful spiritual powers can even tear open the rift and go directly to the other side of the World Ring.

At most, these actions can only allow oneself to pass through. To tear open a huge rift, it not only requires extremely strong mental strength as support, but also requires a familiar and deep understanding of the connection between the two worlds.

And he happens to have all these conditions.

As he continued to exert force, after a while, a huge crack over 30 meters long suddenly appeared.

The people behind were looking at this scene, all of them showing surprise. A fighter could naturally tear cracks, but what Chen Chuan showed at this moment was too exaggerated.

The two huge hands slowly dissipated at this time. They couldn't help but look up and saw Chen Chuan in casual clothes, holding the Xuejun Knife in one hand and the other hand in his pocket, standing in the front. The strong skylight and the sound of wind from the opposite side penetrated from there. They could see his tall back and a red scarf tied to the hilt of the knife fluttering in the wind.

As the bright light shone into the cave, the scenery on the opposite side gradually became clearer. It could be seen that the crack was located on a high slope. Looking down from there, one could see the endless military camps on the plain and the birds and beasts flying in the sky.

They couldn't help but be shocked.

The army of the old imperial family!

It’s here!

Chen Chuan turned his head slightly and said, "Everyone, follow me." As he spoke, he stepped out from here. The surface of the crack shook like water ripples, and his figure disappeared into it.

Everyone moved forward without hesitation, walking into the crevice one by one. Hu Kan shouted excitedly and followed with a big flag in his hand.

At this time, inside the central army tent on the Dongqing Plain, a huge sand table of Yangzhi City and Jibei Road was laid out in the middle. Su Kuo was discussing some detailed military arrangements with his staff and some generals.

However, at this moment, a long horn sounded suddenly. Su Kuo signaled, and someone immediately rolled up the curtain in front of the tent, allowing the view to become wider. Then they saw flashes of light on a high hill in the distance.

At the other end of the camp, Zhao Zhenye was practicing in his tent, sitting cross-legged in the air. At this moment, he felt something and immediately landed, then came out of the tent and looked outside.

There was a huge crack on the high hill in the distance, flashing like lightning that was bound there. Then six figures of different heights walked out from it, and the figure walking in the front made his pupils shrink.

At this time, the birds and beasts in the sky let out sharp screams, trumpets sounded one after another on the plain, and war drums beat loudly. More and more soldiers came out of the tents, and message horses kept galloping and rushing in the camp, causing smoke and dust to rise. For a moment, the whole plain seemed to be noisy and boiling.

After Chen Chuan walked out, he glanced outside and finally settled his gaze on the high ground in the distance where a large banner of the central army was erected. He then clenched the Xuejun Knife in his hand with his five fingers and walked towards that direction.

Behind him, five fighters followed the rhythm of his footsteps and moved forward. Although there were thousands of troops on the plains around them, no one took even a second look.

At this time, the wind on the plain suddenly became stronger. Hu Kan took a look, shouted loudly, and suddenly inserted the flagpole he was carrying into the top of the mountain. Under the strong wind, the whole flag was suddenly raised up.

Then the eight big characters "Support the world and punish the tyrannical court" floated in the sky above this blending land and appeared in front of the old imperial army.

Su Kuo couldn't help but walk out of the tent. He looked at the flag, staring intently at the eight words on it, and slowly said, "The First Expeditionary Army..."

At this time, the soldiers and horses below were approaching the high hill, and at the same time, they pushed out the cannons built on the mounds, and many combat airships detached from the mooring towers and flew towards the high hill.

After a while, there were loud booming sounds and dozens of cannons fired at the same time. The shells streaked through the sky and landed on where Chen Chuan and the others were. However, they hit the almost connected area around them, as if they had hit a solid wall. Everything was shattered in mid-air, and only dark dust was seen exploding one after another in the air.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash under the hill. Even with everyone's eyes, they couldn't see it clearly. The mask reminded: "There is something!"

Chen Chuan seemed to be unaware of anything and continued walking forward with the same pace. At this moment, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, with a faint red spiritual fire emerging from its body, and fell towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Just when he was halfway down, a huge hand suddenly appeared in the air, grabbed the figure, pressed him to the ground in front with a bang, and then punched him down!

With a loud bang, the spiritual light on the man's body shattered in an instant, and the huge force that followed smashed him into pieces!

Chen Chuan didn't even take a second look and stepped directly over the tattered body. Seeing this scene, Zarnik and the other man shouted excitedly and followed suit.

The others were stunned and surprised, and couldn't help but look over. Although the body was still broken, its original origin could still be seen from its dry and shriveled appearance.

Is this... a demon?
