King of Creation Chapter 2265 - 2250: Timed Mission

Ye Zhen left the Blood River Forbidden Land with a heavy heart and discontent, carrying out his task.

As someone who had only slightly dabbled with formations, Ye Zhen found himself facing the expectant eyes of Supreme Elders and Dao Realm Priests skilled in formations, feeling nothing but helplessness.

Ye Zhen truly had no constructive proposals to offer.

This wasn’t about commanding a battle.

The formation wasn’t like the North Sea Sky Wave Army under Ye Zhen’s command that executed orders seamlessly.

All he could do was disappoint the Supreme Elders and Dao Realm Priests.

After offering a bit of advice based on the situation at the Human Demon Battlefield and the level of warfare, Ye Zhen prepared to leave the Blood River Forbidden Land.

However, just as he was about to leave, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Left Chief Priest Ye, since you are already involved in the cracking of the mysterious Blood Light Formation within the Blood River Forbidden Land, and since you have freedom of movement within the military, I have a task for you, and I hope you can complete it within a set time!"

"Complete within a set time, what task?" Ye Zhen looked puzzled, knowing Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna held a grudge against him, and instinctively remained on guard!

"The task is to investigate the state of the Mysterious Blood Light Formation that has erupted underground within the Chengling Fortress defense line of Laiyang Fortress, and to use a Shadow Capture Jade Slip to record the reality of this Mysterious Blood Light Formation after its eruption.

The realities after the eruption of this Mysterious Blood Light Formation hold extremely important reference value for the Supreme Elders and the Dao Realm Priests skilled in breaking formations!

I expect you to complete this task within... one month!"

"This is impossible!"

Almost simultaneously with the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna’s words, the Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo and the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan opposed Tongna’s order with one voice.

"Why?" Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna asked coldly.

Ye Zhen felt somewhat baffled; he, the one receiving the order, had not reacted yet, when all these Power Priests started to argue.

"Aren’t you aware of the reality of the underground at Laiyang Fortress?"

The Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan voiced his dissatisfaction, "The blood light erupting underground there already significantly impacts our Martial Artist’s combat performance, and the closer they get to the formation, the greater the impact.

But the Demon Clan experts gain instead, especially those skilled in negative forces; the blood light surging from the underground is hugely beneficial to them!

Moreover, now the blood light suddenly emerging from underground at Laiyang Fortress has gathered a substantial number of Demon Lords of Dao Realm!

If Ye Zhen were to go, it would be nothing short of suicide?"

With these words, Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna’s expression turned even colder, "Suicide?"

"Then how do we account for the twenty-three Dao Realm experts from our Ancestor God Temple who have fallen at Laiyang Fortress, and the four Void Hunting Kings from the Heavenly Patrol Department also fallen there?"

The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin suddenly spoke, "Which of them wasn’t more esteemed than Ye Zhen, yet they willingly ventured to scout the realities and unfortunately perished!"

"If I weren’t bogged down with affairs here and unable to leave, I would personally venture to Laiyang Fortress myself, to explore the realities!" The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice elder stated righteously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was secretly astonished.

To think that more than twenty Dao Realm existences from the Ancestor God Temple had already fallen at Laiyang Fortress, as well as four Void Hunting Kings.

Could Laiyang Fortress have grown so fierce indeed?

"You..." The Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo was somewhat agitated, when suddenly, the previously somber-faced Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna smoothed things over with a smile, "Who said it’s going to send Ye Zhen to die?"

"You all misunderstood my intention!

What I meant was, Ye Zhen himself is a Wind Patrol Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Department, as well as military personnel, and can be considered a local force with extensive experience, given his vast record of slaying Demon Clan Dao Realm experts.

With over twenty elites of our Ancestor God Temple already fallen, I wanted Ye Zhen to find a way, using all resources available, to try his best to investigate the situation of the Blood Light Formation underground at Laiyang Fortress." Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna explained.

As he spoke, Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna handed a Jade Talisman to Ye Zhen, "Ye Zhen, this is my Power Priest Jade Order, it can be activated three times in total!

Each time it’s activated, it’s as if I am present; you can mobilize all mobilizable resources of our Ancestor God Temple at the Human Demon Battlefield and direct our temple’s priests to investigate the realities of the Blood Light Formation underground at Laiyang Fortress.

Can you complete the task within a month?"

After speaking, Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna fixed his eyes on Ye Zhen, awaiting his response.

At this point, the Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo and the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan could no longer interject.

Within the Ancestor God Temple, the ranking of Power Sacrifices itself represents the authority to speak, and the Second Grand Power Sacrifice can essentially be considered the top-ranked Power Sacrifice; thus, any decision made is beyond the ability of the Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo and the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan to alter.

Furthermore, the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin was lending support with his voice.

One must admit, Ye Zhen had to give the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna full marks for smoothing things over.

He not only perfectly mediated the situation but also thoroughly ensnared Ye Zhen into it.

Under the helpless gaze of the Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo and the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice Ge Yan, Ye Zhen accepted the Power Priest Jade Order from the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna.

"Alright, I’ll do my best to complete it!"

As he accepted the Power Priest Jade Order, a cold flash crossed Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna’s eyes, "Not just do your best to complete it.

The Power Priest Jade Order has been given to you, it’s a time-bound task; within one month, you must investigate the realities of the Blood Light Formation underground at Laiyang Fortress, there must be results."

Ye Zhen paused for a moment, then silently nodded.

After some more exchange, Ye Zhen left shortly after, bearing discontent and a heaviness in his heart.

The dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that, even at this point, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna was still scheming against him, Ye Zhen, causing him to regard Tongna as nothing more than a near-pure politician.

Someone who only considers his own interests without regarding the bigger picture is a politician; otherwise, he would be considered a statesman.

However, as for this task, Ye Zhen did not internally resist it.

Even though the task deadline was dangerous.

Because even if the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna hadn’t issued this deadline, Ye Zhen himself had intended to make time to go to Laiyang Fortress, to investigate the reality of the already erupted Blood Light Formation.

It wasn’t only for the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Ancestor God Temple.

Since Ye Zhen had brought hundreds of thousands of sons from the North Sea Sky Wave Army to the Human Demon Battlefield, and promised to bring them back, a serious hidden danger like this needed to be thoroughly understood by Ye Zhen.

Especially crucial was the fact that the North Sea Sky Wave Army was stationed above this underground Mysterious Blood Light Formation.

If it erupted, it would be like riding a rocket!

Preparations and understanding had to be made in advance!

Moreover, Ye Zhen vaguely had a method to possibly break the formation in mind, but he didn’t dare try it amidst the Dao Realm experts littering the Blood River Forbidden Land.

Perhaps he could give it a try on the already erupted Blood Light Formation at Laiyang Fortress.

It was for this reason that Ye Zhen temporarily didn’t want to use the Power Priest Jade Order to mobilize the reliance of the forces of the Ancestor God Temple in the Human Demon Battlefield to assist him.

Instead, he planned to personally proceed to the mysterious Blood Light Formation underground at Laiyang Fortress for a thorough investigation.

Because the potential method Ye Zhen had thought of to break the formation involved his secret, which couldn’t be exposed.

With this plan, after leaving the Blood River Forbidden Land, Ye Zhen didn’t return to the Blood River Military City; instead, he mounted the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, heading straight for the Chengling Fortress within the Southern War Zone, where Laiyang Fortress was located.

The Chengling Fortress of the Southern War Zone and the Blood River Military City of the Northern War Zone, where Ye Zhen was stationed, with the Western War Zone sandwiched in between, were separated by a direct line distance of over nine million miles.

At the normal flying speed of a Dao Realm expert, it would take at least half a month.

However, with the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, using the rapid flight and Void-Breaking Divine Skill together, it was leisurely less than two hours before arriving at the Chengling Fortress.

Upon reaching the vicinity of Chengling Fortress, Ye Zhen didn’t rush to Laiyang Fortress to investigate the reality of the already erupted Blood Light Formation.

For investigating the already erupted Blood Light Formation at Laiyang Fortress, Ye Zhen had his own ideas and steps!
