Chapter 1671 Going Alone

"This..."

Sword Saint Xing fell silent.

Put that way, it was indeed very possible.

If the alien race truly wanted to charge over, they couldn't be so scattered, attacking 108 places at once. It would be hard for humanity to cover everything, but they certainly wouldn't have it easy either.

Doing so would be less effective than concentrating their forces and experts, striking unexpectedly at a weak point, which would be more likely to succeed.

"If that's really the case, not only that Alien Emperor, but probably many experts from the alien race have already infiltrated the continent. Otherwise... even if the Master Teacher Hall and the major families split their forces to suppress them, once the Confucian Temple opens, it won't be something one or two people can contend with!"

Sword Saint Xing said.

The Master Teacher Hall, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, had countless experts. Especially when it came to treasures like the Spring and Autumn Ceremony, they would certainly hold back no tricks. Some secluded Supreme Elders, even ancient monsters who never emerged, would appear.

To outsiders, these people might have long vanished into the river of history, but whether they were truly dead or not was unknown.

Perhaps, like those sleeping ancient sages, they had been waiting for a certain opportunity.

Currently on the continent, among those below the ancient sages, Master Yang was the most supreme existence, with the highest seniority. But... he was only eight or nine hundred years old now. What about his teachers and those earlier experts?

Some had died, but surely not all of them!

If the Confucian Temple didn't open, they might hide, reducing the dissipation of their internal energy, like feigning death. Once it opened, with opportunities right before them, they might even extend their lifespans... Who could refuse such a good chance?

If they could think of this, the alien race certainly understood it too.

Given that, if they dared to expend so much to attract the Master Teacher Hall and various forces, then the alien race members who had secretly infiltrated the continent were probably not only numerous but also formidable.

"I've seen alien race members who reached the Immortal Realm, and even ancient sage-level ones! And... quite a few at that!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan nodded.

At the Heavenly Prophecy Master Guild, they had killed four or five Great Sage-level alien race members, all of whom had reached the Immortal Realm, with combat power as fierce as that of the Supreme Elders at the Master Teacher Hall headquarters.

He had even seen an ancient sage...

If ancient sages could sneak over, how many experts of that level were hidden on the continent?

Probably no one could count.

It might be that the entire alien race had moved all their Great Sage-level experts over here, while on this side, ordinary soldiers feigned attacks to attract more masters to stay here.

"In the previous battle, were there any Great Sage-level experts on their side?"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"When we went down to fight, we encountered an expert and had a great battle. If we hadn't used our combined sword technique, we might not have survived. Even so, I was injured..."

Sword Saint Meng said.

"Injured?" Zhang Xuan quickly looked over.

"I took a pill; it's fine now!" Seeing his concern, Sword Saint Meng smiled.

"That's good..." Knowing he was all right, Zhang Xuan relaxed, but his brow furrowed. "A Great Sage-level expert who could fight against your combined formation means he's at least at the Immortal Realm..."

Although Sword Saints Xing and Meng were only at Great Sage Third Layer, the realm of sudden inspiration, their combined combat power was enough to make ordinary Immortal Realm experts struggle.

If they were injured in a combined battle, the one they fought must have been not much weaker than Master Yang, even if not as strong.

He had thought that all the Great Sage-level experts of the alien race had already secretly infiltrated the continent, but it seemed there were still some here.

If that was the case, his earlier assumption didn't hold.

"Whatever their purpose, I want to go and see for myself! Only then can I confirm. Just stalling like this is no solution."

After thinking for a moment without a good idea, Zhang Xuan looked up.

Waiting here, once the Confucian Temple opened and humanity lost a large number of experts, the benefits would surely fall to the alien race. With that shift, humanity would be at a disadvantage.

But if they charged over, the other side had also set up defensive works, and the Zhang family would suffer heavy losses without necessarily winning.

So... the urgent task was to find a way to go over personally and carefully investigate what the other side was up to.

"Go over to see? That won't do... You are the clan head of the three great families and the master of the Saint Son Hall. If something happens to you... humanity will be in real trouble!"

Hearing his words, Sword Saint Xing was startled and quickly said.

This son of his had more influence among humanity than he did, far surpassing even Ren Qingyuan.

Going to investigate... if discovered by the alien race and trapped, even they would find it hard to rescue him.

They had finally found someone who could unite all the super-first-rate forces. If he fell... humanity would surely scatter like sand again, facing the powerful alien race even more passively.

"You can't go..." Sword Saint Meng was also startled.

"I have comprehended the True Solution of Sealing. Since the seal has been broken, perhaps I can go and repair it. If successful, reinforcements won't be able to come, and we'll have a chance to win... Also, rest assured, I have many means of self-preservation. This time I'll sneak over quietly without fighting. It won't be easy for them to detect me!"

Knowing their concerns, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

"But..." Sword Saint Meng was anxious.

"No buts. I'm just scouting for information; there's no danger. If you don't believe me, ask Ruoxi!" Zhang Xuan said.

"If it's just scouting, it's fine!" Luo Ruoxi nodded.

The disguise talismans she had given him could even disguise bloodline. Disguising as an alien race member was naturally no problem. Sneaking around to investigate, combined with Zhang Xuan's strength, there was indeed nothing to worry about.

"Then... be careful. If you sense anything wrong, come back immediately. Don't be stubborn!" Seeing Luo Ruoxi say this, Sword Saint Meng hesitated, then nodded in agreement, but still gave detailed instructions.

"Alright!" With a light smile, Zhang Xuan said no more. Taking a deep breath, he shook his body and immediately flew down toward the city.

While still in the air, he shook his body and instantly vanished from everyone's sight, as if disappearing into thin air.

"This..."

"How did he disappear?"

"Even divine sense can't detect him!"

All the elders stared wide-eyed.

"He used the mystery of sealing space to seal the space around his body, preventing light from reflecting, making it hard for both the naked eye and divine sense to detect him. Unless one's understanding of space or mastery of the soul has reached a certain level..."

Seeing everyone confused, Luo Ruoxi explained.

Everyone understood.

They hadn't expected sealing space to have such a wonderful use.

No wonder it was the Luo family's greatest trump card; it was truly extraordinary.

Being able to hide his form and infiltrate the enemy camp—wouldn't that mean no one could discover him?

Those who had been worried about the clan head's safety now felt relieved, seeing he possessed such an ability.

Able to hide his form, combined with the True Solution of Time and pure bloodline, even if he encountered danger, he should be able to return safely.
