Chapter 17 Taking the Initiative! Chen Zidian, the Center of Attention!
Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Lin Feng briefly assigned tasks.
The entire Dawn of Light obeyed the order, showing no surprise whatsoever.
But at the same time, there was another person next to her, and Dugu Yan was almost scared to death.
Can we discuss such an extraordinary plan in a little more privacy? Is it something I'm entitled to listen to?
Just as they were filled with fear and unease, the sound of wind breaking came from the outside again, and a domineering old man in a gray robe rushed towards the center.
His aura was palpable, exuding an imposing presence without anger. The mere fluctuations he emitted were enough to convince Dugu Yan that this was a master even stronger than her grandfather!
"As expected, there were more than just a few young people."
If she still had some doubts just now...
Seeing Chen Zidian appear made everything make sense.
Silently curling up, holding her breath, trying to minimize her presence, afraid of accidentally angering everyone.
As Chen Zidian landed back on the ground, he instantly withdrew his imposing aura, as if he had turned back into an ordinary old man, and his attitude was just as respectful as Long Haochen's.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you require?"
Chen Zidian bowed and asked in a low voice.
It was only then that Dugu Yan realized that it seemed everyone used this title.
That's right! The "Your Majesty" mentioned in Grandpa's note, is he the one behind the curtain? Who exactly is he?
"You're back just in time. Go and cause some commotion."
"Operation Starry Sky went smoothly and is more suitable as a landing point."
"To avoid any accidents, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye outpost needs to attract more attention."
Lin Feng ignored Dugu Yan's thoughts, or rather, he didn't care at all. After giving his instructions, he immediately hung up the communication.
Chen Zidian and Long Haochen, along with five others, were left behind to discuss the revised plan. Since they were going to make a scene, they couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Only by taking the initiative and demonstrating a sufficiently large threat can the unrest be maximized.
The discussion ended quickly, and the two sides continued to work together, with Dawn of Light continuing to inscribe the array patterns.
Incidentally, he also shared some of the patrol duties, while Chen Zidian, who had the time saved, went out to cause trouble on his own.
In a way, this is what it means to specialize in something. In the original story, the Demon Hunter Team in "The Fall of the Demon God" did exactly this job!
"Be careful after I leave."
After Chen Zidian finished speaking, he turned around and flew outside.
His goal was quite clear: the checkpoint set up by the Heavenly Dou Empire at the edge of Sunset Forest.
Now, with the royal bounty spreading, this place is as bustling as the Starry Sky Forest.
To facilitate management and to guard against enemy invasion, the empire joined forces with the two major sects to establish a massive camp.
The outer area resembles a commercial street, comprised of a large number of idle Soul Masters and mercenary teams, providing daily supplies and intelligence, much like a mission station in a game.
The interior is home to the Empire's elite legion, as well as Soul Masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Qian Renxue, who is in charge, also occasionally stays there.
Clearly, this was in order to complete Lin Feng's mission.
Chen Zidian set his sights on this camp.
How to maximize the sensation? How to maximize the tension? Then deliver a shock right to their face!
Looking at the sky, it was already evening, with the afterglow of the setting sun illuminating the horizon, and cooking smoke and bonfires lit up.
"Let's do it now."
Chen Zidian smiled.
He stepped out of the forest, moving slowly through the void.
He deliberately slowed down, deliberately gave himself time to react, just so that more people could see him.
In an instant, a huge commotion broke out on the outskirts of the camp, and countless unofficial personnel who had accepted the mission looked up in confusion.
They didn't know who this person was or what his purpose was, but anyone who could fly in the sky without relying on a flying martial spirit must at least have the cultivation of a Soul Saint.
What's more, his entrance was so pretentious and stylish.
It was as if they saw nothing in the world, which really grabbed a lot of attention.
Humans are naturally curious, but most don't think too much about it; only a few perceptive individuals notice something unusual.
This is a gathering point specially set up by the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire, with the assistance of two major sects. Which ordinary soul master would dare to trespass here?
In particular, the "soul power" of the Sky People is surging.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like they're deliberately trying to cause trouble.
The smart person quickly came to their senses and, instead of getting closer to join the fun, sped away.
But many others remained frozen in place, watching Chen Zidian approach from the void until he reached the airspace above the camp.
Finally, the inner circle also reacted fiercely, with a legion of more than a thousand men standing guard, armed and ready.
On the other side, in the area reserved for mid-to-high-level Soul Masters, Meng Shenji, one of the three teaching committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, was trembling with fear.
He is the strongest person stationed here...
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has Sword Douluo Chen Xin left.
It's impossible to ignore the safety of the sect and stay in Sunset Forest for extended periods; most of the time, they still remain with the sect.
The situation is similar for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family; both of their remaining titled Douluo are currently not in the camp.
This allowed Chen Zidian to move around without hindrance.
As for Meng Shenji? He didn't even dare to show his face.
As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," a timeless truth that he, being an old and shrewd man, understood very well.
He remained inside the tent, suppressing his own soul power fluctuations, and watched Chen Zidian descend with his naked eyes.
Hovering in the center, a powerful energy enveloped his body.
I couldn't see her face clearly, so I couldn't tell what her expression was.
The suffocating pressure only added to the mystery, so much so that even though everyone knew it was dangerous, no one dared to make a move.
They watched helplessly as Chen Zidian raised his hand and conjured a golden longsword out of thin air, with countless golden rays of light rapidly converging at the tip of the sword.
"Oh no! Quick! Scatter! Scatter!"
Meng Shenji suddenly realized what was happening and instinctively growled.
If before it was just speculation that the visitor was at least a titled expert, now it's 100% certain.
He was quite familiar with Dugu Bo and had witnessed his full-force attacks, but none of them matched the skill of this powerful figure.
Instantly, it became clear that this was the mysterious force within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well targeting the Heaven Dou Empire; no wonder even Bone Douluo had never returned.
As soon as the words were spoken, seemingly endless holy light, accompanied by a slashing motion, rained down on the entire camp like a meteor shower.
This time, Chen Zidian's goal was not to annihilate the enemy.
It was specifically designed to cause a commotion, hence the use of area-of-effect damage skills.
He deliberately lowered the concentration of spiritual energy to expand the range of the spell, instantly covering most of the camp.
Except for a very small number of those who stayed on the outermost edge and were not affected by the holy light meteor shower, more than 90% of the army and adventurers were hit by that holy power.
If you're lucky, it only causes minor burns; if you're unlucky, it hits a vital spot, and even if it's diluted spiritual energy, it still severely injures you and knocks you unconscious.
The entire camp descended into panic and chaos.
Screams and shouts echoed from all directions.
Chen Zidian did not make another move. Compared to killing the people here, letting them live to spread the news would attract more attention.
"This is a warning; next time it won't be so simple."
He deliberately uttered misleading words, and his figure vanished into thin air.
Inside the tent destroyed by the sacred flame, Meng Shenji crawled out in a disheveled state, gazing into the distance and swallowing hard.
The last words were etched into his mind. Once he was sure Chen Zidian was far away, he ran towards Tiandou City without hesitation, determined to send back the message as soon as possible…
