Hu Li personally escorted Chu Di this time. As for why, Hu Li was focused on comprehending the Great Dao and had no time to deal with such trivial matters, so he instructed Chu Di to go.

Chu Di knew that the newly arrived Elder Hu Li was a true immortal. Although he was a demon, Meng Fan treated him the same as everyone else, so he was extremely respectful to Hu Li and gladly accepted this seemingly dangerous mission.

When he arrived, Hu Li had mentioned the current direction of the investigation. He believed that Wu Ji must have deliberately leaked the passage to the demon race, otherwise it would never have been discovered, and even if it had been discovered, they wouldn't have been able to get in.

It is clear that Wu Ji activated the formation when the demon race discovered it.

Chu Di immediately had a plan, which is why he had Hu Li send him to the edge of the battlefield.

Wu Ji's scheme against the demon race would have resulted in heavy losses for the human race without Meng Fan's help. His target was definitely the demon and human races, so his first priority was to go to the center of the battlefield.

Even if he, with his Grandmaster cultivation, is not afraid of the various destructive energies on the battlefield, one must know how long it would take him, with his Grandmaster cultivation, to travel across the millions of miles of the battlefield using the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle. Therefore, he needs to find a means of transportation.

"This junior greets Senior Li. How have you been these days?"

The Fourth Patriarch didn't understand why Chu Di was here. Although he didn't need to worry about his safety, he was, after all, just a Grandmaster, and could not interfere in what was happening here.

"It's alright, it's alright. Young Master Chu must have come here on important business. If there's anything Li Qing needs to do, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Hehe, there are indeed some things, but Senior Li is a person of great importance and busy with many matters, so I dare not order you around."

"Not at all, I've been sitting all day and was just looking for some exercise. If there's anything you need, Young Master Chu, I'll be happy to help!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest, making a loud thumping sound.

Murong Cheng, standing nearby, realized that Li Qing wasn't admiring Chu Di at all; he was practically currying favor with Chu Di, taking every opportunity to exploit him, which shattered his worldview.

"Since Senior Li is so generous, why don't we go to the center of the scene and take a look? I'll also broaden my horizons while I'm at it."

These words startled Murong Cheng, who quickly said, "Young friend Chu, please wait! Destructive energy rages inside; we dare not..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Fourth Ancestor interrupted him, saying, "What are you saying? Why would I be afraid of someone dangerous? Even if I die, I will not have lived in vain to accompany Young Master Chu on this journey."

After speaking, he looked up at the sky, his eyes glistening with tears. This scene startled Zhou Di. Everyone knew that the five ancestors of the Ji Yuan Empire were extremely aloof and difficult to approach. It seemed that the rumors were wrong. At least these four ancestors were upright and honorable, and their heroic spirit was no less than that of their predecessors!

When Chu Di saw that the Fourth Patriarch had agreed, he knew what the Fourth Patriarch was thinking. With him around, the world was safe and there was no danger.

"Senior Li's spirit is awe-inspiring; he is indeed a role model for me. I admire him greatly!"

"Not at all, I was just expressing my feelings. It was truly worthwhile to accompany Young Master Chu on this adventure!"

"Then, senior, shall we leave now?"

"Alright, this is a golden opportunity, let's go now!"

Murong Cheng was stunned. The two of them left so suddenly, was this a golden opportunity? Is that phrase a bit inappropriate here?

Chu Di clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Di and immediately headed toward the battlefield.

The Fourth Patriarch ignored Murong Cheng and hurriedly followed closely behind Chu Di.

The further they went, the more destructive energy they encountered. The Fourth Ancestor was clearly struggling to hold on and said, "Young Master Chu, please use any treasures you have. I can't hold on much longer."

"We've only just come in a short distance. Never mind, you're no stranger here. Just watch me."

After saying that, he took out a stack of talismans that Hu Li had given him from his pocket; there must have been at least several dozen of them.

He pulled out a card and held it in his hand.

"Heavenly Net Canopy, protect me completely, let its pure light shine upon me, keep me safe and sound, Heavenly Net Canopy Incantation, so be it! Go!"

Suddenly, the talisman in his hand shone brightly, creating a ten-zhang-wide light shield that completely enveloped the two of them.

"What a brilliant method! Truly amazing."

The Fourth Patriarch gazed at the wondrous light barrier. The destructive energy was completely neutralized upon contact with it, and he was deeply impressed, realizing he had learned a great deal on this trip.

Chu Di generously handed him two talismans.

"To activate it, simply recite the incantation I just mentioned, and then channel your true energy into it. One scroll can last for two hours."

The Fourth Patriarch was overjoyed to see that Chu Di had given away such a treasure so readily without any concern.

"Young Master Chu, is this really for me?"

Chu Di chuckled and said, "Of course, didn't you say that you, Ji Yuan, are an ally of my Gold and Silver Sect? My Gold and Silver Sect has always been generous to its allies."

"But, but this is too expensive."

"What's so precious about it? It was crafted by an elder of my Gold and Silver Sect who was at the Immortal Realm. He completed dozens of them with a wave of his hand."

"An immortal?! An immortal?!"

"Senior, don't be too surprised. Our Gold and Silver Sect has been absent from the world for a long time, so it's perfectly normal for a few immortals to still exist."

"..."

These words left the Fourth Patriarch somewhat speechless. He could believe that the Gold and Silver Sect had suffered a setback, but to talk about immortals was going too far. Since ancient times when there were written records, Qingxuan had experienced setbacks, but the Immortal Path was in turmoil, and there had never been an example of an immortal emerging from it.

Even though he knew the Gold and Silver Sect was extremely powerful, he didn't dare believe that there were immortals in the Gold and Silver Sect. After all, it was too ethereal and unbelievable, so he just took it as a joke.

Chu Di didn't offer any further explanation. With the talisman in hand, the two of them had nothing to worry about, so they had the Fourth Ancestor use his Cloud-Piercing Shuttle to carry him towards the center of the battlefield.

When Tian Yijing activated the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, its speed was indeed much faster than when he activated it.

Before long, the two arrived at the center of the battlefield. Looking closely, they couldn't help but marvel at the brutality of the battle!

The void here has been completely shattered, and spatial turbulence is overflowing, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. The heavens and earth can no longer be seen, and one can only rely on gravity to know which direction the ground is in!

"Is this the power of a half-step Shattered Realm cultivator?"

The Fourth Patriarch stared at the bursts of explosions coming from the void, knowing that if it weren't for the talisman protecting him, he wouldn't have been able to last two breaths here!

Chu Di saw hurricanes everywhere, carrying boulders flying wildly. The aura of destruction filled the space. Once his divine sense went beyond the protection of the talisman, it would be torn apart by the destructive energy. Therefore, he could not see the fighting scene at all, but could only hear the sounds of the two sides clashing.

"Senior Li, can you see them fighting?"

The Fourth Patriarch shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My divine sense can only detect things within about ten miles around. I can't do anything beyond that. It seems that the Heavenly Realm is far inferior to them!"

"Let's find that mountain and rest for a while."

"Daoshan?"

"Hmm, your divine sense is powerful. See if there is a single intact mountain peak around us."

"Intact? Impossible. Even a ninth-grade divine weapon would be destroyed here, let alone a mountain."

"That mountain peak bears the Dao character inscribed by one of our sect's holy sons. Let alone this little bit of destructive power, even a true immortal wouldn't dare say they could destroy that mountain peak!"
