Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1459 Taking Head to Settle the Suspended Island

Chen Chuan rode the light and broke through the sea, first rapidly reaching the other end, which was the place where Yi Wang first resided. He then sealed the rift there before returning to the sky.

The rest of the group, including Ming Chengzi, were waiting there. They sensed that Chen Chuan had only gone down for a few breaths before returning.

Within the wisps of smoke in Ming Chengzi's hand, the figure representing Prince Yi had not completely disappeared, which meant that Prince Yi was not yet dead, so he was still maintaining this secret technique.

At that moment, he saw the head of Prince Yi hanging on Chen Chuan's waist, and his heart trembled.

Prince Yi is indeed not dead yet, but his wounds and seven orifices have been sealed by the spiritual fire, so he cannot recover with his mutated tissue, and he probably won't have that opportunity again.

Everyone then saw it, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Commander? Is this Prince Yi?"

Chen Chuan nodded. He planned to send Prince Yi back as a spoil of war and hand him over to the command headquarters for disposal.

Additionally, we can later take the head of Prince Yi to Tiger Tooth Island for a tour, which will facilitate the takeover of this territory.

After all, Tiger Tooth Island is not just a simple city; it can be described as a gathering place and logistics base for large mercenary and hunting groups. Most of the people here are skilled in combat, and many of them admire Prince Yi personally.

The appearance of Prince Yi's head is enough to shatter the mentality of most people. Those who are unwilling to admit it are die-hards. If they dare to come forward, then it's a good opportunity to eliminate them.

After waiting for a while, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and the team members who had been pursuing the two fleeing individuals arrived from a distance. After reuniting with the others, they reported to Chen Chuan that they had dealt with the two men, and that their respective clones had taken care of the remaining hidden body parts.

Chen Chuan nodded slightly.

Whether it's an extraordinary form or a divine form, once they reach the level of the Dongxuan Temple, regardless of their abilities, their survival skills will undoubtedly be top-notch.

It's possible to lose a one-on-one battle, but resolving the issue is truly difficult. After all, any body tissue hidden anywhere in Dongxuan Temple can regenerate over time.

Although the team members did not possess Xuan Kong Fire, they carried special items for searching. As long as they could obtain the opponent's body tissue or remnants of divine energy, they could find and completely eliminate any mutated tissues left behind in other places.

Even if the other party chooses self-destruction, it is difficult to avoid such a thing. Moreover, most of the Dongxuan Temple members have fought their way up, and they would not choose this outcome without a fight.

He asked about what had happened and learned that the two men had never surrendered, even in death; they were quite stubborn.

In reality, however, these two men were bound by a vow they had made earlier: as long as Prince Yi did not allow them to surrender, they could not surrender at all and could only fight to the death in frustration.

As for the ancient deities one can rely on, one needs to reach a specific location; otherwise, they will not appear out of thin air to save one simply by presenting a token.

Seeing that things had been settled here, Chen Chuan led everyone to Tiger Tooth Island.
These fighters from the Dongxuan Temple were naturally powerless against them. In fact, they were much more sensible than expected, offering no resistance whatsoever and immediately sending someone up to express their willingness to surrender.

After all, most of them were just mercenaries and armed guards who were active outside all year round and had no concept of loyalty to the imperial court.

In the past, he was loyal to Prince Yi because of his martial prowess. Now that Prince Yi is gone, it is only natural to follow someone stronger.

Chen Chuan took a look and found that the city contained relatively high-end active consciousness entities imported from outside, and various information records were quite complete.

This was actually much easier than organizing the archives of Youdu, as all the information was readily available.

Of course, the island will still need to be cleaned up afterward, especially the militants who were previously hired to go to the central city to participate in the murder of politicians and important figures, as well as to carry out various terrorist activities.

This matter will be handled by the personnel who will receive it later.

He used the island's radio to send a message back, then left two clones to keep watch over the area before leading the others back.

No members of the Chan sect were seen during the entire process of eliminating Prince Yi, which is consistent with the previous judgment that the Chan sect did not intend to get involved in this matter.

However, a deity appeared among them, which suggests that these deities do indeed have some ideas. Due to a lack of relevant information, the specifics are currently unknown. We can try to find them in the mind of King Yi when we return.

However, these deities clearly valued King Yi himself, and once the latter ceased to exist, a peripheral city of a merging region would likely not attract much of their attention.

Overall, the mission went relatively smoothly...

Ok?
Just then, he suddenly sensed something and discovered that an aura was wrapped around his body. This thing seemed to have passed through the spiritual fire and appeared directly on his body.

He glanced at it and knew what it was: those who harmed or killed those ancient gods would suffer from a curse-like affliction.

This is likely a secret technique established by many gods, or it may be a characteristic shared by some extraterrestrial beings, but regardless of which it is, it is currently extremely difficult to avoid.

For the average person, the follow-up processing is also very troublesome.

The reason why Prince Lin was so easily dealt with by Emperor Wenguang was precisely because Emperor Wenguang took advantage of this. In fact, he was not unfamiliar with this situation. In the past, when he killed the opponent's clones in battle, he would suffer some continuous attacks both during and after the battle.

The only difference was that the level of the opposing force they encountered back then wasn't high enough, and the invasion wasn't too intense.

It now appears that the consequences of reaching the level of the Golden Bell Demon are extremely severe and likely to last for a long time.

However, he remained unmoved and did not even use a second self to resist. Instead, a faint outline appeared around him, and the human form emerged on his body surface, while also sharing the burden of those invading auras.

In his view, this is not entirely a bad thing.

The outward appearance of a person is themselves, which can protect them from various attacks, including supernatural forces, secret arts, lost objects, and even such curses.

Once he realized this, it meant that he already possessed this ability.

However, this method is not easy to master. In addition to improving one's own level, it usually requires external stimulation.

He had previously honed himself using the remnants of large anomalies, but the remnants quickly disappeared, and now this thing has taken its place.

Half an hour later, Chen Chuan and the others returned to their camp outside Youdu City.

He immediately instructed the radio operator to send a report to the command center, informing them that Yi Wang had dealt with the situation and that Huya Island had been captured and brought under control.

Furthermore, the head of Prince Yi is also here; if needed, it can be sent to headquarters.

The command center responded within ten minutes, first acknowledging and praising the contributions of the combat personnel, including him, and then stating that they would send someone to receive the relevant items later.

After dealing with these matters, he signed a dispatch document that had been sent earlier. Since the fighters transferred from the Southern Territory had completed their mission, they could go back.

After being notified, these fighters came over to bid him a solemn farewell, and then left the place amidst the farewells of the crowd, returning to the southern front.

Ming Chengzi glanced at the departing group, then at the fighters standing beside Chen Chuan.

Even as an observer, he could easily sense that if all the Dongxuan Temple fighters who joined this team were to form a group in the future, Chen Chuan would undoubtedly be at the core.

He seemed to have already seen it: when the calamity from beyond the sun arrives, once these people gather together again, they will easily accept Chen Chuan's command and orders.

After seeing the men off, Chen Chuan announced the disbandment of the team and returned to his command room.

He first sent a message to Gao Ming, asking him to come to the front line. He planned to have Gao Ming deliver a message to Cao Guiqi, mainly about taking over the secret treasure.

However, while a common man is innocent, possessing a treasure is a crime. Such a secret treasure is easily coveted by others, which is why Empress Cao's conditions also included his protection.

However, even if Empress Cao hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway.

After receiving Gao Ming's reply, he left with peace of mind and returned to his room. After stepping out of the implant, he took out the food, summoned Chao Ming, and released Tanuki Ghost Stories to let them eat.

He then moved to the side, and amidst the ripples in the field, the Sea-Stirring Spear from Prince Yi materialized. He grabbed it, admired it for a while, and then put it away.

He then sat down cross-legged and examined the spiritual energy he had collected from the Golden Bell Demon.

In fact, judging from the amount of rare materials he needed, the quantity provided by this person was not much. However, he obtained these materials incidentally while eliminating Prince Yi. What more could he ask for?
He glanced at the invading aura surrounding him and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the ancient gods were treasures from head to toe. Not only could they provide him with precious materials for breakthroughs, but they could also help him cultivate. Hmm, he could make more contact with them in the future.

He also realized that, as he had more and more opportunities to come into contact with the beings on the other side, rare materials were not as difficult to obtain as he had previously thought.

As for the gap in the lost items, he will try to collect them in Da Shun. If he fails to find anything through various channels, he can also search on the other side of the World Ring.

However, it's about finding a place that allows you to break through to the upper echelons...

Old Master She told him that many of these places were controlled by deities and the old imperial family. He believed that the old imperial family must have them, but he didn't know where they were.

Undoubtedly, only Emperor Wenguang knew the truth, but given the circumstances at the time, there was simply no opportunity to find out.

But the location definitely exists, and it's impossible for it to be completely untouched. The next step is to find it and see if it's suitable for my use.
