405: Are they just two Seven-Element Saint Kings?

True Person Yuan Ling laughed heartily upon hearing this and explained, "If I were to focus all my energy on sensing, I might be able to capture a few traces of him, but that's about it. That's why I said Jiu You's concealment ability is unparalleled, all thanks to his exquisite application of the Law of Space."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

He thought to himself that if even True Person Yuan Ling found it difficult to easily track Jiu You, then Jiu You must have mastered some unknown secret technique.

Such a skill was undoubtedly extremely attractive to him. He made up his mind to find a way to learn this secret technique; after all, in his view, there was no skill in this world he couldn't learn.

Meanwhile, Jiu You had already quietly infiltrated the interior of the fortress.

Relying on his superb application of the Law of Space, he moved through the fortress like a ghost without attracting anyone's attention. Jiu You was full of confidence; with his current strength, unless it was a top expert among the six-system, it would be impossible to discover his tracks. Even a Seven-System expert would need considerable strength to possibly sense his presence.

While searching around the fortress, Jiu You keenly sensed Yuan Yi's aura.

He and Yuan Yi had met once before. Now that he had locked onto the target, he didn't hesitate to stealthily move toward the direction the aura was coming from.

General Wu walked with steady steps into the secret room where Kong Ling was resting and said with a solemn expression:

"The external communication equipment didn't detect any abnormalities, but our detection System clearly shows that a living being has entered this area."

Kong Ling was stunned upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. A living being entered? How was that possible?

He quickly organized his thoughts and asked with a frown, "Did you not sense any signs of someone entering yourself? Is this really the result detected by the equipment?"

General Wu nodded and replied with a firm tone, "Yes, I personally went to the West Fortress to conduct a careful inspection, but unfortunately, I didn't find any suspicious traces."

After hearing this, waves of unease rose in Kong Ling's heart, knowing that this matter was of no small importance.

He no longer hesitated and stood up quickly, looking at General Wu with a determined gaze, saying in a deep voice, "In that case, we can no longer sit idly by. We must set off immediately to the West Fortress again for an in-depth investigation and make sure to get to the bottom of this."

General Wu nodded and took the order. The two then prepared to depart for that mysterious fortress area.

Yuan Yi's familiarity with Jiu You was absolute. When he learned that Xun Xiuyuan had actually joined forces with his elder brother to launch a rescue operation and successfully saved Jiu You from danger, Yuan Yi's heart was instantly filled with an indescribable excitement.

Without reservation, he told Jiu You everything about the arrival of the pair including Kong Ling in great detail.

After receiving this news, Jiu You's expression showed no hesitation or doubt. He immediately made a decision, resolutely setting off once more, quickly leaving that sturdy fortress to head toward the location of Xun Xiuyuan and True Person Yuan Ling.

Meanwhile, General Wu was following closely behind Kong Ling, preparing to go to the West Fortress to carry out their mission. However, at this critical moment, the detector transmitted another unexpected message.

"President Kong, that person has already left."

General Wu's voice echoed in the air. Hearing this, Kong Ling frowned slightly. His Divine Sense instantly spread out like an invisible net, enveloping the entire fortress. However, to his confusion, he didn't sense any traces of anyone leaving at all.

"How is this possible? I didn't have the slightest sensation. Could the visitor be a Seven-System expert with unfathomable strength?"

Kong Ling couldn't help but have such a question in his heart.

However, faced with this thorny problem, General Wu chose silence. He knew that in such matters, any speculation would be pale and powerless, and there was no need to discuss it too much.

Finally, Kong Ling made a decision and said in a deep voice:

"We should still go over and inquire personally. If those natives continue to remain silent, then we don't need to be polite to them anymore."

General Wu nodded silently upon hearing this, agreeing with Kong Ling's decision. The two then set off for the West Fortress.

After listening to Jiu You's detailed account, Xun Xiuyuan understood in his heart that the sudden arrival of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance must be inextricably linked to the incident he had experienced earlier.

However, Xun Xiuyuan did not choose to say more at this moment, but instead chose to remain silent.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan remain silent, Jiu You couldn't help but ask, "How should we respond now? Facing those two Seven-System experts, should we go head-to-head and directly clash with them?"

Xun Xiuyuan still didn't speak in response, but silently turned his head and looked at True Person Yuan Ling beside him, as if waiting for his opinion.

True Person Yuan Ling pondered for a moment, a flash of determination in his eyes, and then said:

"What do we have to be afraid of? The Yuan Ling Universe is our territory to begin with. If they want to easily take away Xun Xiuyuan, they are being far too delusional."

Just as he finished speaking, True Person Yuan Ling turned to look at Jiu You, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly into a meaningful smile as he continued:

"I can deal with one of them. As for the other, are you confident you can handle him?"

While saying this, the corners of True Person Yuan Ling's mouth tilted slightly, his smile carrying a hint of playfulness.

Because he knew full well that with Jiu You's current strength, trying to challenge a Seven-System Saint King alone would likely be beyond his capabilities.

Seeing this, Jiu You was first stunned, then grit his teeth and said firmly:

"As long as you resolve your opponent as quickly as possible, I will do my best to stall the other one so he doesn't have a chance to interfere."

Xun Xiuyuan watched this scene from the side, a smile appearing on his face as well.

He gazed leisurely at these two existences who could be called "great rogues." Facing the massive pressure from the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance, they didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. He marveled inwardly and only said one word: "Do it!"

Seeing Jiu You's teeth-gritting and determined appearance, True Person Yuan Ling couldn't help but laugh loudly and comforted him, "What do you have to be afraid of? Don't forget we have Xun Xiuyuan here, and we also have Mortal World and the others as backup."

As soon as Jiu You heard True Person Yuan Ling mention Mortal World, his gaze became firm once again, and he said with an even more resolute tone, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to stall the opponent."

Xun Xiuyuan also saw the signs, understanding in his heart that Mortal World was like a weakness for Jiu You; for Mortal World's sake, Jiu You was willing to pay any price.

Seeing this, True Person Yuan Ling nodded with satisfaction, then laughed heartily as his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

However, his voice still came clearly from the Void Realm: "Just two Seven-System experts, what's there to be afraid of? Let's just start fighting."

Xun Xiuyuan and Jiu You looked at each other, their minds in sync. Then, the two of them followed closely in True Person Yuan Ling's footsteps, their figures teleporting away and vanishing from the spot.
