He looked at the shining light in the distance, his heart sinking slightly, thinking that something must have happened to Meng Chen.

However, it seems that something happened here, and the team he led seems to be lost...

Zhou Chao was in disbelief. There was no danger along the way, so how could the team he led suddenly disappear? It was really unbelievable!

He was in deep thought and turned back to look for the lost team again. He didn't believe that anything would happen to Bai Ting and Xiao Yicheng. Even if something happened, he would definitely be able to sense something from the front. How could they just disappear so easily?

He regrets it very much now, and doesn't understand why five such good people suddenly disappeared.

In the ruins where Meng Chen was, the battle was nearing its end. The three Donghuang Territory cultivators were beaten to pieces, and their clones' souls were on the verge of extinction.

Xiao Yicheng and Bai Ting were also in a bad situation. Half of their bodies were almost blown to pieces, and now their bodies were covered in blood and broken pieces.

Chi Hao's own condition was also very bad. The flame patterns on his body were dim and his body was very weak, but he was still able to move.

"I didn't expect you to have some skills! However, you are destined to die!"

In his hand, there was a huge flaming machete with flames still burning on it.

He dragged the knife to Xiao Yicheng and Bai Ting, and chopped them down with the knife.

Bai Ting's realm was stronger, and she attacked with all her might. A burst of white light burst out from her body, turning into a silk-like thread, wrapping around the flaming sword.

"Xiaocheng! Let's go!" She shouted while entangled the flaming sword, trying to help Xiao Yicheng delay time.

But Xiao Yicheng was already frightened dumbfounded. He sat on the ground at a loss, staring at Bai Ting and Chi Hao with his eyes wide open.

Chi Hao sneered disdainfully, and with a violent shake, the silk wrapped around the flaming sword broke into pieces, and Bai Ting's body also shattered, and this clone was completely dead and destroyed.

At this moment, the only people left at the scene were Xiao Yicheng, Chi Hao and Meng Chen who had been hiding in the dark.

Chi Hao sneered: "How do you want to die?"

Xiao Yicheng felt the heat from the flaming sword and gradually came back to his senses, his face full of fear.

"No... No! I don't want to die. They are all clones, I am the real one, I am the real one!"

He fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed.

"Have mercy on me! Please, have mercy on me!"

Chi Hao's face was full of disgust. He probably relaxed a little and even had the leisure to talk: "An ant like you is not even worthy of being my dog. It's really hard for me to find a reason to spare you!"

Xiao Yicheng cried until his face was covered with snot, and cried out: "I am useful! I am useful!"

Chi Hao asked with interest: "What's the use? I don't lack servants, and you don't have anything I want, so...what use can you have to me?"

Tears streamed down Xiao Yicheng's face, and his mind was constantly thinking.

Chi Hao's flaming sword was already raised high and was about to fall.

"Wait! Yes! I'm useful!"

"Speak!" Chi Hao only replied with one word.

Xiao Yicheng cried and shouted: "I can... I can help you steal the tokens they got. They love me very much. I will definitely have a chance!"

Chi Hao's flaming sword finally stopped, and the released flames burned the skin on Xiao Yicheng's neck, burning that area black, but it finally stopped.

"Really?" Chi Hao was obviously interested.

Xiao Yicheng knelt at his feet, begging in fear, wishing he could kiss Chi Hao's toes. Chi Hao closed his eyes in thought, the flame on the flaming sword in his hand gradually extinguished, and the next moment it suddenly dissipated and turned into a spark.

He raised his hand, a golden light flashed, and a pill appeared in his hand.

"Take this pill."

Xiao Yicheng now only wanted to survive, so he swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Chi Hao looked at him, and only when he saw him suddenly rolling on the ground holding his stomach did a look of joy appear on his face.

"This is the Seven Deadly Soul Devouring Pill. If you don't get the antidote in a month, your fate will be a hundred times more painful than it is now! In the end, your soul will be annihilated and your body will dissolve and you will die!"

Xiao Yicheng was not stupid either, he understood what he meant: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely trick the token into giving it to you as soon as possible."

Chi Hao took out a round crystal ball and threw it in front of Xiao Yicheng.

"This is a modified communication crystal. When the time comes, you will use the communication crystal to contact me. Don't make me wait too long. Do you understand?" Chi Hao stepped on Xiao Yicheng's head on the ground.

Xiao Yicheng didn't dare to complain at all. He lay on the ground obediently with a smile on his face. In order to survive, he didn't care about his face at all.

Meng Chen was just watching in the dark. When someone was dealing with Xiao Yicheng, he was already giving face to Huang Wujin by not clapping his hands or taking advantage of the situation.

The next day, Xiao Yicheng was released, but the clones of four cultivators from the East Phoenix Territory were buried here.

Meng Chen showed up only after Chi Hao left. Fortunately, he took the token in advance, otherwise he would have to fight with Chi Hao for the token.

The next step is to go to the ruins of the ancient city, tell Huikong that Xiao Yicheng is under control, and then start the next plan.

Meng Chen was not idle along the way. He went to a nearby ruins, hoping to get another token. Unfortunately, the situation did not go as he wished, as the place had already been visited by someone.

He arrived at the ancient city ruins on the fifth day, and on the way he met a cultivator from the Donghuang Territory who was on guard.

When the monk saw Meng Chen, a look of fear appeared on his face, and then he turned around and ran away.

Meng Chen didn't understand why he was so scared, like a lamb seeing a wolf.
Obviously, something went wrong.

Meng Chen quickly hid himself and wanted to see what was going on.

To be honest, Meng Chen didn't believe either Huang Wujin or Huikong and was always on guard.

Now that this situation has occurred, he has to be cautious and suspicious.

After a while, a group of people came rushing over angrily. Leading them was Monk Huikong. His face was full of anger and his brows were furrowed, as if he would explode at any time.

He was very surprised. This monk's mentality has always been stable. Why was he so upset now?

Soon, Meng Chen saw Xiao Yicheng in the team. He didn't expect that he actually came. Is he planning to betray the empress completely?

Next to Huikong, Zhou Chao's face looked somewhat gloomy and depressed, with low pressure emanating from his surroundings, as if he could suddenly explode at any time and destroy everything around him.

This undoubtedly strengthened Meng Chen's guess that something really happened! And this matter seemed to be related to him, making these people full of hostility towards him.

He continued to hide without revealing his whereabouts.

In the team, Xiao Yicheng sneered in his heart, but his face was calm and serious: "Senior Brother Huikong, Senior Brother Zhou Chao, he must have noticed something and ran away! This traitor must not beg for mercy!"
