Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1401 Cangguan Awaits the Dawn

On the main ship's field screen, some clips of Chen Chuan on Tianji Peak were displayed, which the old imperial family obtained from abroad through certain channels.

Prior to this, Yuan Congye and others had already read some of the collected reports.

In the battle between Chen Chuan and the Linax Federation, the initial part was a protracted struggle, and his performance was relatively normal. However, the later part of the battle was simply overwhelming.

Intelligence suggests that Chen Chuan initially practiced the Changsheng Temple at the beginning of the war with the Federation, but later broke through the Dongxuan Temple.

This means that Chen Chuan was already capable of fighting several Dongxuan masters single-handedly when he was at Changsheng Temple. This level of performance was simply superhuman. Now that he has broken through to Dongxuan Temple, his strength is even more unimaginable.

Yuan Congye looked at the screen and said, "Chen Xuanji's appearance suggests that he moves like lightning and strikes like thunder. If we want to defeat him, we must use methods of restraint to curb his momentum."

"Once they slow down, they will be unable to use any of our methods, and only then will we be able to eliminate them."

Everyone present agreed with this, saying that there are no overly complicated methods for understanding human nature, so it is sufficient to focus on the necessary points.

Chen Chuan may have some lost items on him for evasion, but they also have lost items. It all depends on who uses them better. So the initial tactic is to protect themselves while trying to probe.

Yuan Congye said, "After arriving at the pass, I will go forward to meet the enemy, fight them, and try to find out their details."

However, I observe that Chen Xuanji possesses formidable power and an aura that surpasses all others in this world. I fear that I alone am not capable of matching his strength. To be on the safe side…” He looked at Tie Rugan, “General Tie, I need your assistance to make up for my shortcomings.”

He was not at all concerned about admitting his shortcomings, and he had to be cautious and humble in the face of such an enemy.

General Wei Tie Rugan clasped his hands in salute and said, "This subordinate obeys your command."

Yuan Congye then looked at Yuan Rong, a plump and wealthy middle-aged man, whose eyes revealed a cruelty. His ears were particularly striking, with earlobes that reached his shoulders and lay there like two fleshy cushions.

He said, "Third Imperial Uncle, among us, your strength is about the same as mine. If General Tie is no match for you, then you will need to step forward and hold the line."

Yuan Rong chuckled, "Leave this to your third uncle. I don't consider myself that strong, but I can still block a few punches."

Yuan Congye nodded and looked at Chu Xianyun, "Ambassador Chu, fighter jets are like lightning, unpredictable. You will need to be able to see the slightest detail and pave the way for Shen Xian's move."

The Shen Xian he was referring to was the old man with a goatee standing next to the two members of the imperial family. He was hunched over, with small eyes, and was the smallest person there, but no one dared to underestimate him.

This is because he was one of the two eunuchs who escorted the old imperial family back a hundred years ago. He served three emperors, including the last emperor, and was a person the royal family could absolutely trust. His strength goes without saying. The fact that the imperial family sent him out this time shows how much they value this matter.

Chu Xianyun said solemnly, “General Yuan, you can rest assured. Before I left, His Majesty personally instructed me to do my best to help you when the country is in danger. I am His Majesty’s henchman and will obey his orders.”

Because they had set out hastily and time was of the essence, they could only formulate a battle plan on the way. After roughly determining the plan, they used creatures from a special field, similar to active consciousness entities, to refine every tactical detail for them.

Beyond the Yaolan Pass, a place of convergence.

Jiang Linghuai stared at the enormous exterior statue, which was at least 150 meters tall, his eyes still filled with shock.

Although Mu Xiaoren didn't show anything on the surface, the shimmering light reflected from his glasses seemed to reveal his inner turmoil.

Just now, the two of them mainly participated in coordinating and assessing Chen Chuan's destructive power, defensive capabilities, and speed. For a person's appearance, these three points are sufficient.

The result shocked them greatly.

Chen Chuan's power goes without saying; one only needs to look at the newly formed basin in the distance to know its destructive force.

Their speed reached a level far beyond their reach; simply put, it was impossible to observe.

The last defense was particularly exaggerated; even if Chen Chuan stood there and let the two of them use all their means to attack, they could not break through the outer defense of the spiritual fire.

From their initial cautious probing to pushing their attack power to the limit, even resorting to spiritual impact, they still had no effect.

Mu Xiaoren, being a god-like being, might be able to accept it calmly, but Jiang Linghuai, being a human-like fighter, excels at frontal attacks and destruction.

In the past, he was very confident in his ability to overcome difficulties, and he was the one who could hold off the enemy and make the decisive blow. But when facing Chen Chuan, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He even doubted whether Chen Chuan was the kind of person described in the legends.

They fought against those opposing forces in the World Ring, most of whom were not as powerful as them.

Jiang Linghuai couldn't help but ask, "Steward Chen, may I ask you a question? Was what you just demonstrated your full strength?"

Chen Chuan admitted, "No, that's not it." He had just demonstrated his normal strength, not his full power yet, and naturally, I didn't need to demonstrate my second strength either.

"Really?"

Although he already knew this was the answer, Jiang Linghuai still couldn't help but glance at Chen Chuan a few more times after hearing him say it himself. He felt that Chen Chuan should actually go to the World Ring and fight against those beings on the other side, because only there could Chen Chuan fully unleash his power.

Moreover, this person probably doesn't need to rely on teammates; they can hunt down those powerful beings all by themselves.

As the assessor, Mu Xiaoren didn't find anything wrong with Chen Chuan not displaying his full power, because what Chen Chuan had shown so far had already exceeded the usual limits.
Unless blocked by supernatural forces or lost objects, it is enough to crush most enemies in regular combat.

He said, "Secretary Chen, I have a general understanding. The old imperial team must have gathered information about you in advance. I believe it wouldn't be difficult to find that information. And their first plan is definitely aimed at limiting your strength and speed."

However, the items you just showed, Officer Chen, should effectively circumvent this. But they still have some methods, and we need to formulate corresponding countermeasures based on the existing conditions.”

If previous battles were usually just a contest of strength between fighters, this time, because it is a national war, it will definitely involve a variety of combat forms such as rituals, lost objects, supernatural powers, fields, and even mutated creatures. A single mistake could tip the scales of victory or defeat.

Of course, without sufficient information, he couldn't possibly anticipate all possible scenarios, but it's always good to make detailed plans based on his own circumstances and an assessment of the enemy's objectives.

Chen Chuan said, "Staff Officer Mu, then I'll have to trouble you."

Mu Xiaoren nodded seriously, "Leave it to me."

Several hours passed in a flash, and it was already four in the morning, two hours before dawn.

After Chen Chuan and Jiang and Mu returned from outside, they sat on the seats on the high platform of the city wall and waited.

Looking at the dark, blending night sky in the distance, although there has been no movement yet, he could sense that something was already approaching.

A few more minutes passed, and then his expression suddenly changed. Chao Ming, with a bright figure, suddenly appeared and flew rapidly from a distance. When it got close, it let out a warning whistle.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chuan immediately relied on their mental connection to capture the scene appearing in the far distance from Chao Ming.

There were more than ten huge airships, with two-winged, two-legged dragons circling alongside them. Below the airships, there were also many multi-winged fish swimming around, their heads displaying strange faces, layered upon each other and pressed together. Due to their large number, they looked like rolling dark clouds from a distance.

He immediately pointed the boundary marker at Jiang and Mu and said, "They've arrived."

Jiang and Mu soon appeared beside him.

At this moment, Chen Chuan took out an item that the government had given him; it was a coin-shaped object.

He held it in his hand, flicked his thumb, and the thing instantly flew into the air. A flash of light appeared, and the thing disappeared in an instant.

This level-one lost item can only be used once every six months. After use, it disappears and will reappear anywhere in the vicinity after six months.

However, Da Shun has the corresponding lost items to retrieve them, so there's no fear of losing them.

This thing's function is to present the specific information about the enemy that he sees within his mind.

The longer it continues, the deeper his understanding becomes, and the more information he gains. Theoretically, if there are no obstacles along the way, he could even see the other person's own memories.

This is certainly a strategic-level relic.

Immediately after the thing flashed, he received a lot of information, the first of which was the names of these people and the routes they had taken.

General of the Cavalry Yuan Congye, 39 years old, possesses extraordinary talent and is skilled with the spear; General of the Guards Tie Rugan, 48 years old, possesses extraordinary talent and is skilled with the great axe; Imperial Clan General Yuan Rong, 62 years old, possesses extraordinary talent and is skilled with the hammer…

In front of this lost object, information about all the combat personnel coming from the opposite direction, and seemingly including some special beings, slowly appeared in his mind.

The more powerful the object being observed, the richer the information it contains, and the more time it takes to process it.

He had just taken advantage of Chaoming's ability to observe from a distance, allowing him to see the opponent first and gain an early advantage.

Among them, he also saw some special beings: Zhuan Ling Hong, Yue E Long, and Wu Sheng Chong...

This is……

Just as he was about to delve deeper, the information suddenly seemed to be disrupted and blocked by something, making it difficult to discern further.

He raised an eyebrow. Without a doubt, the other side must have sensed something and retaliated in some way; it might also be a lost item. However, what he had just seen was enough for him.

……
