On the back mountain of Chibao Mountain, there are not only clues, but numerous messy footprints all over the ground, as well as countless residual auras. It is obvious that a large group of people has passed by here.
Du Shuang ran over and took a look, and his suspicion was immediately confirmed. He was so angry that he was furious on the spot, and then led the remaining troops to pursue him along the footprints.
However, after chasing him for a hundred thousand miles and climbing over a huge mountain, he found that all the footprints were gone, as if he had suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.
At that moment, the remaining troops of the Broken Dragon Alliance were dumbfounded and had to stop and search everywhere, but found no footprints.
"Master Du Shuang, I didn't find any footprints, what should I do?"
Someone came over and reported to Du Shuang.
"Lu Chen must have been afraid that we would come after him, so he erased his footprints here and destroyed all traces on the ground!"
Du Shuang snorted coldly, but remained confident, and said, "The footprints can be erased, but the breath is not easy to erase. We can smell their residual breath and continue to pursue them along the remaining breath."
"yes!"
Immediately, all the people in the Dragon-Breaking Alliance concentrated their energy and exerted their sense of smell to its maximum effect. Finally, they sniffed out some residual scent, and then continued the pursuit.
After chasing him for another hundred thousand miles, he actually caught up to a river. Then all the remaining breath disappeared and everything was washed away by the river.
Du Shuang led people across the river to look for the scent, but they couldn't find it, as if no one had ever been on the other side of the river.
There were no footprints, even the breath was gone, and there were no clues to be found. The people of the Broken Dragon Alliance were immediately confused.
"There is no trace. I don't know in which direction Lu Chen escaped. This will cause trouble."
"No matter how Lu Chen escapes, he can't escape from the fairy beast's territory. As long as he keeps wandering around here, we will find him sooner or later."
"Even if Lu Chen escapes from the Immortal Beast's territory, he still can't escape from the Immortal King Tower section. It's not yet under our control."
"I think there is no breath left on the other side of the river, so Lu Chen didn't cross the river at all. He either went upstream or downstream."
"We can divide our forces into two groups, one going upstream and the other downstream. We will definitely find traces of Lu Chen."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I recognized!"
The Taiyi Immortal Kings of the Broken Dragon Alliance discussed a lot and had many opinions, and some even put forward reasonable suggestions.
However, Du Shuang had a different view. He was not affected by the discussions of his subordinates. Instead, he always looked at the distance ahead and fell into deep thought.
"Lord Du Shuang, everyone thinks that Lu Shen did not go ashore, but walked along the river to take the opportunity to eliminate any remaining aura."
A subordinate came over, approached Du Shuang and said, "Everyone thinks that if the troops are divided into two groups to pursue the investigation, it will be effective. What do you think of this suggestion?"
"I don't think Lu Chen walked along the river. No matter whether he went upstream or downstream, he was always wandering in this area. Sooner or later he will be found by us. It makes no sense at all."
Du Shuang did not turn around, and continued to look at the mountains in the distance, and said, "We chased for 200,000 miles, all the way up the north, and only when we reached this river did we stop all traces. This is quite strange.
Yes. I suspect that Lu Chen is taking advantage of this river and deliberately setting up a maze here to get us together!"
"how to say?"
The subordinate was confused and didn't understand what Du Shuang meant.
"Lu Chen must know very well that as long as we are still on the road to the Immortal King Tower, especially within the scope of this large mountain range, no matter how we escape, we will never escape from our grasp!"
Du Shuang paused and then said, "I think he wants to escape to Taiyi Palace and ask for help from the Taiyi Immortal King of the clans over there. Then it will be a little difficult for us to hunt him down."
"Lu Chen's subordinates are almost not Taiyi Immortal King. Especially Lu Chen's realm is even lower. They are only late-stage Immortal King. How dare they go to Taiyi Palace?"
The subordinate shook his head, not quite agreeing with Du Shuang's opinion, and said, "The immortal pressure in Taiyi Palace is many times that of Immortal King Tower. No matter how powerful Lu Chen is, he can't withstand such huge immortal pressure. If he
If they dare to force their way in with men and horses, what awaits them is to be crushed by the Immortal Pressure, and they will die until not even the scum is left."
"If there were only people like Lu Chen, they probably wouldn't even dare to enter the edge of Taiyi Palace, but with that giant red-striped leopard beside Lu Chen, that's not necessarily the case."
Du Shuang frowned and said, "That beast is the leader of the immortal beasts in this area. It is very familiar with its territory, and it must often patrol the edges of Taiyi Palace. If it knows how to avoid it,
Gao Xianya from Taiyi Palace will definitely lead the way for Lu Chen, and it will not be easy for us to find Lu Chen then."
"If they want to go to Taiyi Palace, they have to cross the river first and continue walking north. Only the north is adjacent to Taiyi Palace."
The subordinate suddenly realized, and then he understood why Du Shuang kept looking straight in the direction, because that direction was the north. "So, sir, you think they must cross the river and have continued to go north instead of walking along the river?"
"That's right, that's exactly the case, so we don't have to say anything, let's go down the river to find someone, and just continue to pursue him north."
Du Shuang nodded and said.
"But if they really crossed the river, why didn't they leave any breath behind?"
The subordinate brought back the previous question.
"Idiot, as long as you strictly control your breath and don't let the breath on your body leak out, then there will be no breath left."
Du Shuang glared at his subordinate, and then said, "Lu Chen is an alchemy cultivator and can refine the elixir of hidden breath. As long as he takes those powerful elixirs, he can seal any aura in his body and not even a bit will leak out."
"I see!"
The subordinate suddenly realized it again, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and flattered Du Shuang on the spot, "Master Du Shuang is wise and has an extremely smart mind. He immediately saw through Lu Chen's trick, otherwise we will definitely be fooled by Lu Chen."
"Inform everyone to follow me up the north and go directly to the edge of the Taiyi Palace section."
Du Shuang waved his big hand and took the lead again, running towards the north.
No matter what he encountered along the way, he didn't care about it. He didn't stop running until he reached his destination.
The area bordering the Taiyi Palace is surrounded by mountains. As long as you climb the mountain, you will reach the Taiyi Palace section.
He did not climb the mountain or enter the section of Taiyi Palace. Instead, he led the crowd to walk under the mountains in the edge area, looking for suspicious traces everywhere.
"The immortal pressure on the mountain is too high, and it is not something Lu Chen and the others can resist. They will most likely find a secluded place to hide on the edge."
As Du Shuang walked, he ordered, "Everyone, please wake up and focus on searching for the caves in this area. The more hidden the cave, the more likely it is where Lu Chen is hiding!"
