Chapter 1765 (Raw 1777): Scouting Out the Cluster Lord's Residence

At this moment, Xiao Chen naturally did not know that the person that he dreamed about had arrived in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm.

This person was in Dragon Flame City, which Xiao Chen left not long ago—the Dragon Flame City where he spent half a year.

Many times, matters of life were truly this coincidental.

Xiao Chen had been in Dragon Flame City for a total of eight or nine months, but Liu Ruyue never came. However, just three days after he left, she arrived.

The two brushed by just like that.

After entering Soaring Dragon City, Xiao Chen spent another hour getting to the vicinity of the Cluster Lord's Residence in the city.

The buildings in the Cluster Lord's Residence were grand and imposing, occupying a large plot. When seen from afar, the area had an invisible majestic aura above it.

That was the Luck of the dynasty. The Soaring Dragon Marquis was conferred an aristocrat by the Yanwu Dynasty, furthermore, the rank of a marquis.

Naturally, the Soaring Dragon Marquis enjoyed the protection of the dynasty's Luck. The land that he conferred to his descendants would also gain some of the dynasty's Luck.

Of course, the effects would not be as strong and obvious as at the Marquis's Residence in the Soaring Dragon Marquisate.

However, those who tried to sense it could still feel the dynasty's Luck above the Cluster Lord's Residence.

Even though it is very thin, it still scared anyone who saw it witless.

When major characters noticed this invisible Luck, they would give some face and not barge in.

As for those who were weaker—Holy Venerates and Sovereign Personages—they did not dare to cause any trouble.

However, today, Xiao Chen felt anger in his heart. Along the way, he was attacked for no good reason and nearly died. If he did not vent his anger, it would be hard to calm down.

Without clarifying the reason for the attack, he naturally would not feel convinced in his heart.

If he had a chance to sneak into the Cluster Lord's Residence, he would definitely not let it off.

Although Xiao Chen was angry, he remained careful and cautious, not rashly doing things.

He just observed from afar, not getting too close.

This was because many experts could even feel a glance from one, even if one was fifty kilometers away.

There would definitely be such a person in the Cluster Lord's Residence.

However, Xiao Chen was just a Major Primal Core Venerate. The other party would not expect a Venerate to dare to spy on the Cluster Lord's Residence, much less attack it.

Even if the other party discovered Xiao Chen, they would not care and just directly ignore him.

It was just like how elephants did not care about ants at all.

However, this was to Xiao Chen's advantage and the reason why he dared to try this.

After observing the surroundings, Xiao Chen sighed to himself. The Cluster Lord's Residence was indeed tightly guarded.

Just the formations were already heavily layered. He could not tell how many there were.

Even worse, there were experts guarding every passageway and countless guards patrolling the place. There was no blind spot.

In addition, there were some hired experts. The experts of this Cluster Lord's Residence were even stronger than what many Rank 4 sects had.

Is there really no blind spot?

Xiao Chen did not believe it. Thus, the Heavenly Eye flew out of his forehead.

The Heavenly Eye hung high in the sky, looking down on the entire Cluster Lord's Residence. Aside from some areas where there were special formations for concealment, Xiao Chen clearly saw every flower and every blade of grass, picking up every single detail.

He did not need to search for secret areas; he just needed to see if there were any openings in the defense.

Failing that, finding the place with the lowest risk to break in through would be good, as well.

Xiao Chen noticed that there were more experts among the guards in the important areas of the Cluster Lord's Residence.

The outer areas had only ordinary guards patrolling. However, there were still formations.

If Xiao Chen barged in, he would immediately trigger a formation, which would then raise the alarm and result in many experts chasing after him.

However, it was impossible for any formation to be perfect.

Naturally, there were flaws in the formations laid in the Cluster Lord's Residence as well. However, the formations were layered over each other, several of them operating at any moment.

The second layer made up for the openings in the first layer, the third layer made up for the second layer's openings, and so on.

This continued layer after layer for a total of eighteen layers.

Xiao Chen made some calculations. As long as he broke through nine layers, he would be able to enter safely.

While Xiao Chen was not skilled at formations, he was skilled at Dragon Seeking Arts and had some accomplishments in geomancy.

He could make out many things from the multitude of decorations, fake mountains, pavilions, gazebos, and passageways.

He could tell that many seemingly ordinary buildings were actually nodes of the formation.

Xiao Chen used the Heavenly Eye to see all of these.

Then, drawing on the Dragon Seeking Art techniques in the Paradise Secret Canon, he continuously made calculations for four hours.

After a lot of effort, he finally figured out a pattern and felt more confident.

Come back!

The Heavenly Eye returned to Xiao Chen's forehead. His eyes hurt slightly, so he closed them and rested for a while.

The instant Xiao Chen opened his eyes, he pushed off the ground and withdrew his aura. Then, he soared into the air, flying towards the Cluster Lord's Residence.

This looked crazy and impossible.

However, in reality, Xiao Chen was just a Major Primal Core Venerate. He did not have much of a presence in the area near the Cluster Lord's Residence.

Even if someone felt it, they would not make much of it.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen specifically headed for a rather desolate corner.

First layer!

Xiao Chen's body flashed, and he successfully broke through an opening in the first layer of formations without causing a commotion.

Second layer, broken through!

Third layer, broken through!

By relying on his countless mental simulations, Xiao Chen broke through the first eight layers.

However, when it came to the ninth layer, he suddenly discovered that the ninth formation had started to move in reverse.

Damn it! Xiao Chen cursed in his heart, as he had no choice but to land.

His landing spot was not good. The moment he appeared, a patrol arrived from not far away.

If Xiao Chen had cleared the ninth layer, he would have landed in a desolate place.

"Who is there?" the leader of that patrol immediately shouted when he saw Xiao Chen appear.

Xiao Chen's face sank. Then, he turned around quickly and demanded coldly, "Who gave you the courage to speak to me with such an attitude? Even your master, the Cluster Lord, does not dare to do that."

Xiao Chen looked different from the crowd while dressed in his white robes. The alternating stripes of black and white hair gave him a cold and arrogant air.

As Xiao Chen spoke, he released some of his will of soul. The strong aura instantly caused the Major Primal Core guard leader's aura to weaken.

There were many guards in the Cluster Lord's Residence. Most of them were only about this strong.

The true experts were all guarding the important areas or special checkpoints.

After that, there would be the hired experts. Those were highly respected people and would not be used for something minor like patrolling.

Normally, when the guards found uninvited guests, they would sound the alarm before getting the experts in the Cluster Lord's Residence to take action.

Xiao Chen's attitude stunned this patrol.

Hence, the guards did not sound the alarm. They also could not imagine that someone who was not even a Star Venerate would dare barge into the Cluster Lord's Residence.

These guards thought that Xiao Chen was an honored guest of the Cluster Lord or an outstanding talent that caught the Cluster Lord's eye, someone that the Cluster Lord intended to nurture and send to the Marquis's Residence in the future.

There were many such outstanding talents in the Cluster Lord's Residence. Xiao Chen completely fit the bill.

Xiao Chen said coldly, "What is all the commotion about? Do you think that I am an assassin?"

The person Xiao Chen was lecturing felt somewhat embarrassed. "This humble one does not dare."

That was right. How could there be a lone Major Primal Core assassin? What a joke.

The patrol leader felt that he was truly out of luck this time.

Xiao Chen stepped forward and ordered calmly, "Send someone to bring me to Heart Cooling Lake."

When that patrol leader heard this, he relaxed completely. Heart Cooling Lake was an important place in the depths of the Cluster Lord's Residence. Outsiders could not possibly know about it.

This white-clad bladesman should be new to the Cluster Lord's Residence and ended up getting lost.

The patrol leader immediately nodded and called out one of his men to guide Xiao Chen.

However, in reality, Xiao Chen had already seen Heart Cooling Lake from outside with the Heavenly Eye.

Xiao Chen's strong mental state allowed him to remain calm. Even after this patrol left, his expression did not change.

As Xiao Chen walked, he casually chatted with the guard leading the way.

Xiao Chen was surprised to learn that Cluster Lord Gou Yu was currently meeting an honored guest from the Soaring Dragon Marquisate. This person's identity was a mystery; the guards did not know who it was. However, based on the treatment, that person was definitely of noble status.

"Young Master, Heart Cooling Lake is just a short distance ahead. I still have other duties to fulfill, so I won't be sending you all the way," that guard said respectfully.

Xiao Chen nodded, indicating that the guard could go.

It was rather problematic to enter, but once Xiao Chen entered, he was very relaxed.

This was because no one noticed or suspected anything about him.

There were even people who would nod to Xiao Chen and greet him after seeing him.

Suddenly, as Xiao Chen looked around the place, he actually saw a familiar person in the Cluster Lord's Residence.

It's her…

Xiao Chen's gaze immediately turned somewhat gloomy. That explains it. Everything can be explained now.
