Chapter 721

"Wizard Ancestor Master, what are you thinking about?" Olga's soft voice sounded at his side, carrying a hint of imperceptible concern.

As the Holy Maiden designated by the "Wizard Ancestor," she had always served by his side. Seeing Li Chen sitting alone in deep thought, she could not help but ask.

Li Chen raised his eyes to look at this beautiful and meticulous Holy Maiden. His heart stirred slightly, and he simply threw the question out half-truthfully, just in time to sort out his thoughts:

"I am thinking about the matter of the new emperor. Although I am the Imperial Teacher, the power of the Daluo Dynasty is still firmly held by the old emperor Ivan and that reclusive ancestor emperor Romanov, and the imperial family forces also mostly take orders from them.

The new emperor is young and needs my assistance. I am pondering how to find a suitable opportunity to invite these two 'seniors' out to properly 'discuss' the future of this empire."

His words were quite cryptic; after all, there were some deeper schemes that even Olga should not be told explicitly.

Olga seemed to understand but not quite. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said unintentionally: "Since they can always hide behind the scenes and control everything, they must have some 'thread' that they think is absolutely secure, right? As long as you find a way to cut this 'thread,' maybe they will come out on their own when they feel it is no longer safe?"

This unintentional sentence was like a bolt of lightning flashing through the darkness, instantly illuminating Li Chen's thoughts!

"A thread?"

A flash of brilliance shone in Li Chen's eyes, and his mind quickly deduced, "That's right! They must have a 'thread' they consider safe! This thread is very likely the ancestor emperor Romanov himself!"

Ivan is cunning and cherishes his life, so he must be hiding in the safest core location, but Romanov is different. He prides himself on having heaven-defying cultivation and is a top expert of the era. He had already taken the initiative to appear several times to negotiate with the "Wizard Ancestor."

Then, as long as he finds a way to create another opportunity to "interview" Romanov, and then follow him! As long as he follows him to his lair and follows the vine to find the melon, it is highly likely he will find Ivan's hiding place!

However, the next problem followed closely. Romanov is a peak Sage Realm expert of the same level as Li Chen, with keen spiritual sense and vast supernatural powers. How easy is it to follow him without being detected?

Relying on Li Chen alone, I am afraid it would be difficult to do it flawlessly.

Thinking of this, Li Chen did not hesitate anymore.

He was now in the border area of the two countries, which was just convenient for mobilizing forces.

He immediately issued a top-level mobilization order to the Tian Ce Empire through secret channels.

Several days later, in a secluded valley in the border area that was rarely visited and shrouded by formations, several tyrannical auras descended quietly.

There were five people in total, four men and one woman, all of them with extraordinary bearing, with Dao rhymes flowing around their bodies. They were precisely the several Sage Realm experts that the Tian Ce Empire relied on as pillars.

Master Wanfeng was cold-faced today, his eyes sharp, his aura condensed.

Bi Chen Tianzun held a horsetail whisk, with the bearing of an immortal, skilled in formation deduction.

Master Qingxu was a Daoist wearing a Bagua robe, seemingly serious but with somewhat wandering eyes, and was also a master of formations.

He Lan Xuan was a burly man wearing a general's casual clothes, a strong man with a vigorous aura, and was a great general under Li Chen's command.
