Chen Xiao waited for one day and one night!
Just as Chen Xiao was getting impatient, the star bell in his storage ring suddenly vibrated!
After confirming which star bell it was, Chen Xiao's brows immediately twitched.
The star bell was contacting no one else but Lei Qiang!
Chen Xiao could not understand why Lei Qiang would suddenly contact him, but he still took out the star bell and quickly cast a spell to ask.
With this question, Chen Xiao immediately understood something.
It turned out that when he was in space monitoring the Heavenly Court's troops, there was a huge commotion that almost swept through half of the Heavenly Court!
Suddenly, a large group of people appeared out of nowhere and started spreading rumors in the cities controlled by the immortal realms.
Other than that, there was also a large group of unidentified people who suddenly launched quite a few attacks in various cities in the Immortal Region, forcibly snatching away quite a few people.
Some of them were shopkeepers, some were disciples of sects, some seemed to be from ordinary families, some were the city lords who were in charge of supervising the city, and some more seemed to be commoners.
No one knew who those people offended or why they were suddenly caught. The people who had barged in were extremely powerful. Even if the city guards wanted to stop them, they were no match for those intruders.
Without any mishap, the people who were caught had all been taken to an unknown location.
At the same time, many people were aware of those rumors.
This time, there were too many rumors. Unlike the last time, when the rumors were only directed at the Heavenly Kings, almost everyone who qualified to be part of the imperial court was attacked by these rumors.
Some busybodies even organized the rumors into a list, counting them carefully, there were at least a hundred of them.
Other than the four Heavenly Kings and a few high-ranking officers under the Four Heavenly Kings, there were also a small number of Twelve-Paths Generals. Whether these rumors were true or false, many people were extremely interested in hearing them.
Those involved in the rumors had a drastic change in their expressions. Many of them were so frightened that they immediately issued notices to ward off the rumors, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would be deemed as having accepted it.
Many of them pointed directly at the interest of invading the Heavenly Court, and some even suspected rebellion. For example, some generals used their positions to forcefully take over some of the city's shops and lands, or some people forcefully stole away the Heavenly Emperor's concubine and used it as a forbidden treasure after the Heavenly Emperor's concubine left the palace!
Or perhaps, some superior would covet his subordinate's beautiful wife and try to harm his subordinate by assassinating her and taking her as his!
There were so many similar things like that!
It could be said that each and every one of them could make a person's heart race. Each and every one of them could make the person involved die a graveless death!
Furthermore, because those people were suddenly captured, the entire immortal realms suddenly discovered that the four great heavenly kings, or some high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court, had suddenly dispatched a large number of troops to search everywhere for those people who had openly committed murder.
On the surface, it was to capture these people who dared to openly commit murder in the Immortal Region. However, in reality, many people discovered that the Heavenly Court's troops were too excited, their momentum was too great!
Under the observation of some people, many people realized that the people who were suddenly taken away by the criminals were actually the relatives of the people who were wantonly searching for the murderer, the descendants of their families, and so on!
In Third Sky of Celestial Domain, in a troop of the Heavenly Court with more than a hundred thousand troops stationed there, a high-ranking officer suddenly received a report from a subordinate saying that a letter had been thrown in by someone. The contents of the letter indicated that the general had personally opened it!
At first, the high-ranking officer did not think much of it, he accepted it casually, but after looking at it, his expression changed greatly, following that, he immediately took out a star bell and started shaking it.
However, only now did he realize that he had done something bad. The person opposite the star bell could not be reached at all, and it was unknown whether it was because he did not notice or something had happened!
However, according to the contents of the letter, something had obviously happened. Someone had even caught him!
"Damn it!" The high-ranking officer abruptly tore the letter into pieces.
One of the deputy generals noticed the abnormality and asked hesitantly, "Sir, did something happen?"
"My wife and children have been captured!" The high-ranking officer recounted the contents of the letter with an ugly expression.
"What?" "Who dares to rashly make a move on an imperial court official? Should we go and search him now?" The deputy general was also surprised and asked quickly.
The high-ranking officer's expression changed, then he waved his hand and said, "Send a group of people to conduct a secret search. The remaining people will not move. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the military camp. Those who disobey will be punished by martial law!"
"Yes sir!" The group of people answered loudly, and immediately after, the entire military camp began to spin.
The same thing happened for many of the armies stationed in the immortal realms, and it even happened among the soldiers under the helmets of the other Heavenly Kings.
The Prince's men all knew that their subordinates, or their families who were suddenly taken away or had mysteriously disappeared, had their connections cut off. Their expressions all changed greatly, but they did not dare to go out and look for them.
When he reported it, he immediately saw something different!
The four Heavenly Kings realised that some of their trusted aides, or even their ordinary subordinates, had their families captured by the mysterious person. Furthermore, the people they captured were all important figures, all of them generals with real power!
With that, the faces of the Heavenly Kings turned ugly.
They all knew that a conflict might break out with the Celestial Emperor at any moment now. However, who would've thought that at this critical juncture, such a thing would suddenly happen?
Without much thought, the few of them guessed that the Heavenly Court must have taken action and secretly taken away the families of the generals under their command as hostages.
If those generals dared to rebel, then they would have to weigh the lives of those family members that were captured by the Heavenly Court.
The only thing that made the several Heavenly Kings feel gratified was that the ones who had the real power, the families of most of their trusted subordinates, had already been secretly arranged by them to properly settle down. As a result, nothing unusual happened to those subordinates, and once the war started, they could still quickly organize a strong army to attack.
But now was not the time to think about such things.
When the Heavenly Kings found out about this, they guessed that it was not long before the Heavenly Court would take action!
However, none of them expected that the moment the rumors broke out, the millions of soldiers in the Heavenly Court would have already formed an effective encirclement around the space where Mu Wang was.
This scene was clearly seen by Chen Xiao, who was hiding in the meteorite.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao was far enough away from the scene that he could only detect it with his telepathic thoughts. Otherwise, it would be hard for Chen Xiao to escape from under their noses if he was in the search area.
When Chen Xiao saw a large number of people wearing Heavenly Court battle armor and holding a broken bow, he knew that the Heavenly Court was serious. Even the close guard troops had personally appeared on the battlefield!
While observing, Chen Xiao took out his star bell and quickly linked it with Lin Wang and the others.
And at this moment, Lin Wang and the other four who were gathered on the stone tower instantly became excited after hearing Chen Xiao's message!
As Chen Xiao expected, the Heavenly Court really did attack one of the Four Heavenly Kings, King Mu!
With this one move, the war against the four Heavenly Kings would completely break out. In the future, the entire immortal realms would probably be in chaos!
And the mastermind behind all this — Chen Xiao, was still in the starry sky. He even silently urged his mana and followed behind the Heavenly Court's troops, silently watching the entire battle.
It was also because he did not see the Celestial Emperor that he dared to continue following Chen Xiao. If the Celestial Emperor did not come, then there was nothing much to worry about!
However, among those people, Chen Xiao had already discovered more than twenty experts in Divine Soul Realm. It could be seen that the Heavenly Court was still paying a lot of attention to this trip!
