Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Chapter 369 Secret Struggle

Just then, Zhou Tianxing shouted loudly:

"Gentlemen, stop holding back and finish them off quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tianxing set an example.

"The Fall of a Star!"

A low shout came from Zhou Tianxing's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang came from the sky, and a large shadow suddenly descended, covering the entire valley.

For a moment, darkness enveloped the valley, with only the hazy light of the Enlightenment Lotus providing a glimmer of illumination.

To outsiders, it appeared as an enormous meteorite, like a shooting star, suddenly falling from the endless starry sky and completely engulfing the entire valley.

As a result, the audience outside were suddenly plunged into darkness, unable to see anything inside the valley.

"What's going on? I think I really saw a shooting star fall just now!"

Someone shouted out.

"So you saw it too! I thought I was seeing things!"

Someone echoed.

"The most exciting battle is about to begin, but now we can't see anything."

What's Zhou Tianxing from the Zhou family up to?!

"yes!

Could it be that Zhou Tianxing is trying to kill everyone at once?!

……

Those who uttered these last words were naturally members of the Nangong family.

The Nangong family now harbors a great deal of resentment towards the Zhou family, and will naturally seize any opportunity to take advantage of their misfortune.

Of course, the Zhou family completely ignored the Nangong family's comments and even retorted:

"The Gathering of Prodigies is a competition where the strong reign supreme and the weak are eliminated."

If he actually got crushed to death, it only proves that the others were too incompetent!

"Correct!"

"that is!"

The people below were buzzing with discussion, while Zhou Bumie, the head of the Zhou family, remained calm, staring silently into the spatial battlefield.

However, at this moment, Shen Xinqiao, the host of this grand gathering of geniuses and a peak Martial Saint of the Human Alliance, suddenly turned his gaze towards Zhou Bumie and questioned him:

"Patriarch Zhou, let's just leave it at that since that star just now blocked everyone's view."

Why is it that my senses of this spatial battlefield have suddenly malfunctioned, making it impossible for me to investigate the situation within?

"Could it be that the younger generation of your Zhou family are so powerful that even I, an old man, am helpless against them with a single move!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone present knew that this spatial battlefield was formed from Shen Xinqiao's treasure.

Shen Xinqiao, on the other hand, is a peak Martial Saint realm expert.

Zhou Tianxing, at most, has only just broken through to the Martial Emperor realm. With his abilities, he certainly cannot disrupt Shen Xinqiao's perception of the spatial battlefield.

Those capable of this must be Martial Saint level experts of the same rank.

Since the Zhou family is skilled at deducing heavenly secrets, they are naturally also skilled at concealing them.

In an instant, all the major powers turned their attention to Zhou Bumie.

In particular, Nangong Linhai, the patriarch of the Nangong family, directly questioned:

"Zhou Bumie, what is your Zhou family's intention in concealing the secrets of the spatial battlefield and preventing everyone from witnessing what is happening?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Bumie calmly explained:

"Elder Shen suddenly lost his senses of the spatial battlefield, something our Zhou family was completely unaware of."

As for Tianxing's actions just now, which blocked the valley.

I suspect that Tianxing did this to prevent the demon race's prodigies from escaping, not to obstruct your view.

Even now, facing the gazes of hundreds of Martial Saint realm experts, Zhou Bumie's expression remained remarkably calm, without a trace of tension.

Upon hearing Zhou Bumie's answer and seeing his calm and composed demeanor, everyone immediately averted their gaze.

At this moment, a powerful expert at the Martial Saint realm suddenly spoke up:

"The meteor falling and blocking the view of the valley, and Elder Shen losing his sense of the spatial battlefield, are perhaps just coincidences and have nothing to do with the Zhou family."

In my opinion, this matter may be the work of the demon race.

After all, with such a great opportunity as the Gathering of Prodigies, they would definitely try every means to sabotage it!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone else chimed in:

"yes!

Elder Shen, the most urgent task is to quickly regain your senses of the spatial battlefield and check the situation there.

Mutual suspicion will only give the demons an opportunity to exploit!

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures at the Martial Saint realm nodded in agreement.

"Elder Shen, it is most important to restore our senses of the spatial battlefield first."

Otherwise, we would have no idea what's happening inside right now!

"That's absolutely right!"

……

In an instant, everyone abandoned their suspicions about the Zhou family and continued to focus on the situation inside the spatial battlefield.

Shen Xinqiao was well aware of what everyone had just said.

Therefore, he has been working hard to regain his senses of the space battlefield.

However, Shen Xinqiao clearly sensed that there was a powerful force preventing him from sensing the situation within the spatial battlefield.

This gave Shen Xinqiao a slightly uneasy feeling.

"The enemy has used such powerful methods to prevent me from sensing the situation on the spatial battlefield. They must have some ulterior motive, and it is no small one!"

However, once a person's physical body is destroyed or their soul is severely damaged, they will be automatically teleported out of the space battlefield.

If the enemy wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out all the geniuses of our human race, they simply couldn't do it.

Could it be that the enemy's target is the Enlightenment Lotus?

However, this Enlightenment Lotus has only grown to the seventh grade of Sacred Lotus, and can only help people comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

It has no obvious effect on enlightenment.

Why would the enemy go to such lengths to seize this Enlightenment Lotus?

In an instant, Shen Xinqiao's mind raced, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Xinqiao turned to the person beside her and said:

"Fellow Daoists, please lend me a hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Martial Saint Realm experts beside Shen Xinqiao released their soul power and came to the crystal ball that formed the spatial battlefield to help Shen Xinqiao regain his senses of the spatial battlefield.

Meanwhile, within the Central Imperial City, a large number of powerful Martial Saints from the Human Alliance were secretly searching for traces of the Demon Race.

Strangely, these powerful Martial Saints from the Human Alliance always had a beautiful young girl with a cultivation level of only the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm by their side when they went on missions.

Moreover, he would occasionally ask the girl questions, as if he were acting on her advice.

From a distance, the girl has a perfect figure, with a slender waist, long legs, and a curvaceous figure.

Her waist-length hair cascaded over her shapely hips, dancing gracefully with her green dress, making her resemble a beautiful, lively, and adorable fairy girl from the forest.

Upon closer inspection, the girl's appearance was also breathtakingly beautiful.

Her perfect features and fair, rosy skin made her incredibly beautiful.

Especially her big, bright eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, sparkling with light and giving people a sense of purity and liveliness.

If Chu Yunfan were here and saw the girl, he would be incredibly surprised.

The beautiful, elfin girl before him was none other than Lin Qianqian, whom he had been searching for all along.
