Chapter 1026: Stepping into the Enemy Formation

After Hu Kan took the flag, the members of the processing bureau searched the surroundings again and found that there were many people here who should be the members of the punitive army that pursued the imperial army that year.

These people may have ended up here together and were unable to get out. But now they are all mixed together and it is difficult to tell who is who.

Chen Chuan gave instructions and asked someone to record the matter. After the matter was over, he asked the Yangzhi Municipal Government to carefully identify the remains and properly handle them.

Lan Shen Gu then rushed in and quickly arranged the cracking ceremony. After he was done, he led everyone to several other problematic places. At the same time, he recruited some people from the processing bureau to help. Even if these people did not understand the secret ceremony, they could help him clear the surrounding obstacles and move some heavy ritual objects.

But wherever they went, they could see all kinds of eerie and strange sculptures. Mo Xiaoyi quietly asked, "Brother, why do the statues here look so scary?"

Lan Shengu said: "This was originally supposed to be the holy land of the Maka people. Later, the imperial court used this place to build a secret treasure, so I don't have to put in any extra effort."

"Oh."

Lan Shengu said it lightly, but he knew that this place was not that simple. The old imperial family should have only used half of it. As for the other half...

He looked into the depths and felt that there might be something hidden there, but it had nothing to do with the secret treasure and the rift, so he didn't say much about it and would remind people after the matter was over.

Half a day passed, and the Lanshen Gu siblings finally broke up the rituals in various places and rearranged them.

He wiped the sweat off his head, came to Chen Chuan, and said, "Director Chen, the rift has returned to normal, and it can be guaranteed to point back to where it originally pointed. But because the key lock is destroyed and we can't get the other side to cooperate, it may take some time to expand the passage."

At this moment, everyone is standing at the place where the crack exists. They can see a flickering light on the stone wall. This is the passage left by the old imperial family. However, this light is very weak, probably only half the size of a person, and it is barely maintained. It is not easy for ordinary people to pass through, and tall and strong people cannot pass at all.

Chen Chuan took a look and thought that if he used the Xuejun Sword to cut it, he could tear the crack apart. However, with so many people present, it was not convenient to use this method.

He asked: "How long will it take to expand further?"

Lan Shengu looked behind him and said, "The endurance of ritual objects is limited. Under the premise of ensuring that they are not damaged, it may take another seven or eight hours to expand a passageway large enough for passage."

The leader of the old imperial family was actually also preparing to do this, and had been making arrangements for a while. He used this person to make the arrangements and remodel it. If it weren't for this foundation laid, it might have taken even longer.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "That means, if we don't care about the ritual objects, we can immediately expand the passage here?"

Lan Shengu hesitated and said, "Yes, but doing so may not last for more than a few minutes, and then the rift itself may not be able to sustain..."

Chen Chuan said: "That's it."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lan Shen Gu didn't say anything else, "I'll go right away."

After only ten minutes, everyone felt the temperature in the cave begin to rise, and there was a slight tingling sensation on their skin. Then the crack in front began to emit a brighter light and gradually expanded outward, but when it was about three meters long, it stopped and could no longer expand outward.

Lan Shengu came back and said, "Director, this is the only way we can do it for now. It can probably last for an hour or two."

Hu Kan said, "It still doesn't look big enough." Not to mention that there are so many tall men here, and he is carrying the flag here. If it is thrown here, it always feels like something is missing.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "If it's not big enough, then stretch it out a little bit."

He walked to the front, and under the gaze of everyone, two huge hands, real or fake, suddenly appeared behind him. They placed themselves on the edge of the crack with a bang, and then slowly pushed outwards.

At this time, the ground began to tremble slightly, and then the whole cave was shaken by a rumbling sound, as if it could not withstand his power, and the cracks slowly and steadily expanded outward under this power.

Chen Chuan looked ahead, and the increasingly bright light from the opposite side shone on his face and body.

When he hid in the rift that day, Wei Guochan tried to break the barrier of the rift, because fighters themselves have a certain ability to cross the rift.

Some fighters with unique and powerful spiritual powers can even tear open the rift and go directly to the other side of the World Ring.

These actions could only allow him to pass through. To tear open a huge rift, he would not only need an extremely strong mental force as support, but also a familiar and profound understanding of the connection between the two worlds. And he happened to have all these conditions.

As he continued to exert force, after a while, a huge crack over 30 meters long suddenly appeared.

The people behind were looking at this scene, all of them were surprised. A fighter could naturally tear cracks, but what Chen Chuan showed at this moment was too exaggerated.

The two huge hands slowly faded away at this time. They couldn't help but look up, and saw Chen Chuan in casual clothes, holding the Xuejun Knife in one hand and the other hand in his pocket, standing in the front. The strong skylight and the sound of wind from the opposite side penetrated from there. They could see his tall back and a red scarf tied to the handle of the knife fluttering in the wind.

As the bright light shone into the cave, the scenery on the opposite side gradually became clearer. It could be seen that the crack was located on a high slope. Looking down from here, one could see the endless military camps on the plain and the birds and beasts flying in the sky.

They couldn't help but be shocked.

The army of the old imperial family!

Sure enough, it's here!
Chen Chuan turned his head slightly and said, "Everyone, follow me." As he said that, he stepped out from here. The surface of the crack shook like water ripples, and his figure sank into it.

Everyone moved forward without hesitation and walked into the crevice one by one. Hu Kan shouted excitedly and followed with a big flag in his hand.

At this time, inside the central army tent in the Dongqing Plain, a huge sand table of Jibei Road in Yangzhi City was laid out in the middle. Su Kuo was discussing some detailed military arrangements with his staff and some generals.

However, at this moment, a long horn sounded suddenly. Su Kuo signaled, and someone immediately rolled up the curtain in front of the tent. The view became wider, and then they saw flashes of light on a high hill in the distance.

At the other end of the camp, Zhao Zhenye was practicing in his tent, sitting cross-legged in the air. At this moment, he felt something and immediately landed, then came out of the tent and looked outside.

There was a huge crack flickering on the high hill in the distance, like lightning that was bound there. Then six figures of different heights walked out of it, and the figure walking in the front made his pupils shrink.

At this time, the birds and beasts in the sky made sharp cries, trumpets sounded one after another on the plain, war drums beat loudly, more and more soldiers came out of the tents, and message horses kept galloping in the military camp, causing smoke and dust to rise. For a moment, the whole plain seemed to be noisy and boiling.

After Chen Chuan walked out, he glanced outside and finally fixed his eyes on the high ground in the distance, where a large banner of the central army was erected. He then clenched the Xuejun Knife in his hand with his five fingers and walked towards that direction.

Behind him, five fighters followed the rhythm of his footsteps and moved forward. Even though there were thousands of troops on the surrounding plains, no one took even a second look.

At this time, the wind on the plain suddenly became stronger. Hu Kan took a look, shouted loudly, and suddenly inserted the flagpole he was carrying on the top of the mountain. Under the strong wind, the whole flag was suddenly raised.

Then the eight big characters "Save the world and punish the tyrannical court" floated in the sky above this land of integration and appeared in front of the old imperial army.

Su Kuo could not help but walk out of the tent. He looked at the flag, staring at the eight words on it, and said slowly: "The First Expeditionary Army..."

At this time, the soldiers and horses below were approaching the high hill, and at the same time, they pushed out the cannons built on the mounds. Many combat airships also detached from the mooring towers and flew towards the high hill.

After a while, there were loud booming sounds and dozens of cannons fired at the same time. The shells flew through the sky and fell towards Chen Chuan and the others. However, they hit the almost connected area around them, as if they had hit a solid wall. Everything was shattered in mid-air, and only dark dust was seen exploding one after another in the air.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash under the hill. Even with everyone's eyes, they couldn't see it clearly. The mask reminded: "There is something!"

Chen Chuan seemed to be unaware of anything and continued walking forward with the same pace. At this moment, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, with a faint red spiritual fire emerging from its body, and it fell towards him at an extremely fast speed.

When he was halfway down, a huge hand suddenly appeared in the air, grabbed the figure, pressed him to the ground in front with a bang, and then punched him hard!
With a loud bang, the spiritual light on the man's body shattered in an instant, and the huge force that followed smashed him to pieces!
Chen Chuan didn't even take a second look at it and stepped directly over the tattered body. Seeing this, Zarnik and the other man shouted excitedly and followed suit.

While the others were stunned and amazed, they couldn't help but look at it. Although the body was still broken, their original origin could still be seen from its dry and shriveled appearance.

Is this... a demon?
