If he didn't answer, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicions.
Furthermore, from Cui Jie's memories, Chu Yan found out that this Blood-Faced Scholar was a scheming person under the command of Saint Xian Minghai and had extraordinary intelligence.
If it wasn't for his intelligence surpassing that of an ordinary person, he wouldn't have been able to break through into the next realm even after being past the age of cultivation, and even become a Celestial Heart Monarch.
Just in case he was alerted, Chu Yan stopped walking and frowned: "Looking for me?"
This response fit Cui Jie's personality.
If Chu Yan also bowed to the opposite party like the blood-faced scholar, then he would reveal an opening — because it was impossible for Cui Jie to do so.
"Yes, please follow me, Fourth Young Master." Without a doubt, Scholar Bloody Face made a gesture of invitation towards Chu Yan.
Scholar Xuanshen led the way while Chu Yan and Ji Shi followed behind him.
Although Chu Yan's gaze did not fall on the blood-faced scholar, his consciousness was secretly observing the other party's body.
The cultivation level of the Scholar Xueran seemed to be at the small success stage of the second stage of the celestial mood stage.
However, Chu Yan could faintly feel that there was something wrong with the other party.
However, he couldn't say what was wrong. He could only wait and see what the other party would do next.
When they reached a fork in the road, the scholar turned to the right with Chu Yan.
Chu Yan stopped and pointed to the left, "Aren't you going that way?"
On the left was where the Sage was cultivating.
The scholar turned around and smiled at Chu Yan: "Hai Sheng asked me to invite Fourth Young Master over here. We will arrive if we walk a little further."
He looked in the direction the man was pointing. He would arrive in about a thousand feet.
Chu Yan nodded, and when he walked again, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "Why are you looking for me? I don't think I got into any trouble. "
With that, he carefully observed the blood-faced scholar's expression.
He seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Hai Sheng did not tell me the specifics, he only told me to bring you here to meet Fourth Young Master after I meet you.
"When you see the Sage of the Seas later, Fourth Young Master, you can ask the Sage of the Seas."
The three of them were all Heavenly Heart cultivators. Even though they didn't fly, their speed was as if they were only an inch apart from the ground.
He had covered a distance of one hundred zhang in the time it took to speak.
At this moment, in front of Chu Yan was a mottled palace.
It could be seen that many years ago, it should have been very grand.
Even though it was in ruins, it still gave off a heavy feeling of history.
At this moment, the door to the palace was ajar. Just as Chu Yan and Ji Shi were about to enter, the red-faced scholar stopped them without batting an eyelid, "Mr. Qin, please wait outside."
Ji Shi only listened to Chu Yan's orders.
At this moment, Chu Yan nodded and said to him, "Wait for me here."
Ji Shi was a puppet created personally by Chu Yan. Even if Chu Yan did not say anything, it would not affect him from giving orders to Ji Shi.
Hence, there was no effect in having Ji Shi wait outside the palace.
Chu Yan was the first to enter the palace, followed by the scholar.
After entering the palace, Chu Yan immediately felt traces of spiritual energy in the air.
Chu Yan's fingertips moved slightly.
Very quickly, the direction that the spiritual energy floated in formed a diagram in his mind.
Within this palace, a formation was laid down!
Without any change in his expression, Chu Yan looked around and saw that the palace was empty. He then turned around and looked at the scholar, "Why is it just me?"
"Because —" The blood-faced scholar continued to have a smile on his face. "This is a trap."
As the sound of his voice faded, a droning sound filled the air!
A series of tremors rang out.
A silver line suddenly appeared around Chu Yan.
The thin threads interweaved with each other like a large net.
Under the silver light, the formation runes appeared under Chu Yan's feet.
These talisman markings caused one to feel as if a blade was cutting through their throat, causing their blood to stagnate and making it difficult for them to breathe.
The source of this sharp aura was above this rune, above Chu Yan's head.
Looking up, Chu Yan immediately saw that above the dome of the palace, where the silver light had disappeared, sharp swords were hanging high in the air, pointed straight at Chu Yan!
"Bright Spirit Stealing Sword Formation." "You impersonating the fourth young master, it's best if you don't move. Otherwise, this killing formation that can kill a third stage celestial mood stage cultivator can hack you into pieces in an instant."
"Hmm?" Chu Yan looked at the other party, "How do you know I'm fake?"
When Chu Yan found out that there was a formation in the palace, he knew that his identity had been exposed.
What puzzled him now was how the other party had found out that it was a fake.
From his own changes, Chu Yan believed that it was absolutely flawless.
If there were any obvious flaws, not to mention coming here, he would not even be able to enter this ghost city.
"Actually, I received news from the Sage of the Seas a day ago that the Fourth and Seventh Young Masters have perished." The scholar seemed to have a lot of confidence in this formation. At this moment, he spoke to Chu Yan for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, the two of them died in your hands."
"That's right." Chu Yan nodded, "You mean, it's not that you found out that I was a fake, but that the Saint of the Seas told you that Cui Jie and Cui Bing have both fallen." So when you saw me, you knew I was a fake. "
While speaking, Chu Yan walked forward half a step.
The silver light beams in the surroundings immediately reacted. In an instant, the silver light beams were like the sharpest blades in the world, cutting through the light rays with a "chi" sound.
It was as if if if Chu Yan took one more step forward, he would be dismembered.
Thus, Chu Yan stopped.
"That's right, stand still obediently. Otherwise, you would be chopped into pieces before Hai Sheng can even see you. That way, I won't be able to explain myself." The blood-faced scholar said slowly.
His gaze moved back and forth between Chu Yan and himself.
At the same time, Chu Yan also felt that the other person's consciousness was falling on him as if trying to see through his disguise.
After a while, the scholar let out a surprised sound, "Looks like your disguise was not only based on your own abilities, but also some kind of magical equipment. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to be so flawless, even I wouldn't have been able to see through it.
To be honest, if I hadn't received Hai Sheng's reminder earlier, I would have been duped by you today.
Actually, after I knew that Cui Jie and Cui Bing had fallen, I had thought about how I would use this matter to my advantage if I killed them.
So, the conclusion is that if you pretend to be them, you can sneak into this Myriad Province Ghost City and wait for an opportunity to make your move. "
At this point, the Blood-faced Scholar's eyes revealed a hint of pride. "So today you've actually thrown yourself into a trap, and I just happened to bump into you."
"It seems that you are worthy of being the brain of the Sage of the Sea, as expected. You have thought it through thoroughly." Chu Yan said, "But I'm very curious, when I killed Cui Jie and Cui Bing, I made sure that no one's spiritual sense could detect that the Sage Hai Sheng would know that his two sons died?"
