In this great battle, the Sharp Swords troop’s suits of armor and electromagnetic rifles, as well as Eunuch Wang’s and Zhao Yinglan’s Universe Knight Systems, caused a great sensation. They also attracted Xiao Shen’s attention.

‘These great killing weapons… We must capture them, bring them back, and study their secrets. If the imperial court can mass produce these weapons, the consequences will be dire. These weapons must be in our hands.’

At the thought of this, Xiao Shen’s countenance turned extremely grim. His intention to covet the imperial court’s weapons also increased tremendously.

However, after witnessing the battle where Fang Xingjian took on Blood Sea single-handedly, Xiao Shen was already treating Fang Xuan as his greatest rival in this lifetime.

Although he believed that with his ability to shatter void space, there was no one in this world who could kill him when he was integrated with the complete version of the Great Dao’s Testimony that the Three Mountains Four Peaks had inherited for several centuries. However, Xiao Shen still chose to be more careful when dealing with Fang Xuan.

This time around, despite the fact that he had been secretly observing the battle in the dark, he had not taken the initiative to make a move. After ascertaining the defeat and abducting the imperial court’s latest weapons, he let the entire army from the feudal vassals be left as cannon fodder for testing out the imperial court.

It was because, in Xiao Shen’s eyes, only heaven-blessed cultivators and Great Dao Realm experts were the main force to defeat Fang Xuan in the future. Everything else could be sacrificed.

He did not bring Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian back to the Three Mountains Four Peaks from the beginning in case the imperial court had means to track these two weapons.

However, what he did not know was that when he trapped Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian in the mountain, one of Fang Xingjian’s clones had followed him and stood in the mountain next to the two of them.

Given Fang Xingjian’s current cultivation level, ordinary illusionary arts were as easy as eating or drinking. He stood right there, but no one was able to see him, hear him, or come into contact with him.

Fang Xingjian threw a glance toward the duo’s body and thought, ‘He’s really careful.’

Fang Xingjian had only sent out a clone and was unconcerned about spending a little time here. He concealed himself next to the two people while waiting for Xiao Shen’s next course of action.

Over the next few days, Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian continued to be trapped in the underground cave that could not see any light. Xiao Shen would periodically bring food and water over using his ability to shatter space, assuring that the duo would not die.

As for the majority of the remaining time, he would observe the duo using his ability to shatter void space.

Three days later, Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian depleted their armors’ energies completely and were forced to take down their armors.

Over the next five days, Xiao Shen kept on inspecting the armors which the duo had taken off. After ascertaining that there was no threat, he finally brought along the duo and the suits of armor to translocate once again.

This time around, he brought Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian to a dungeon and had them imprisoned. He had the suits of armor brought back directly.

It was a pity that he did not know there were no intrinsic differences to Fang Xingjian’s Sudden Inspiration in sensing people or things.

Sensing where the two suits of armor went, Fang Xingjian instantly turned into an invisible wave, passing through space at light speed, and arriving in the sky above Ding Region’s Flying Immortal Mountain.

This Flying Immortal Mountain was a massive mountain range that cut across several regions in the south. There had been many legends and mythologies concerning immortals and demons left behind amongst the people. By the looks of it, the Three Mountains Four Peaks also had one of their important bases located amongst this mountain range.
