The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 287 - Hubei Ice Palace
The person using those senses was slightly surprised after hearing what Qing Shan said and his laughter could be heard.
“ The spirit sense of Fellow Cultivator Zhang En turned out to be slightly stronger than this old man. Sorry for my rudeness. Therapy if Fellow Zhang En thinks that a little stronger than this old man and feels like he will repeat what happened in the State of Yan. This old man will not let that happen and the Tang Sovereign will not close his eyes on it either!”
“Mean Ji Xie must be joking with me. This Zhang had only come to this Country to use the Teleportation Formation and join other experts just to earn battle points. Of course there is no evil plan that I will make in Yan Country!”
“Hehe, that's the best thing. This old man will be waiting for fellow Zhang in our Ice Palace. If fellow Zhang certainly does not have any evil plans in mind, this old man will gladly recommend you to join our cultivators to help eliminate the demon army.”
The voice had no emotions and the spirit senses were spreading instantly like a cold flame that left no trace.
Qing Shan's gaze became sharpened as he said inwardly, This Ji Xie has a strange spirit sense technique. I can't underestimate him.!'
...
Today, a Gold Realm realm cultivator in tattered clothes arrived at the inn.
Even though he was dressed shabbily, he carried a face of indifference. All the cultivators from the inn followed him to the forbidden area of Hubei City, Hubei sect palace.
When the thoughts of the other cultivators about to meet Ji Xie flashed through their minds, feeling a little excited. The only person who remained calm was Qing Shan.
He was currently deep in thought, figuring out how to deal with Ji Xie.
'This man has been spying on me for three days in a row. And for the past three days, his spirit senses had not even wavered. Moreover, if I did not cultivate the Divine Technique that increased my previous sense acuity, there would be no way for me to discover his spirit senses. His spirit sense was similar to an ice flame, just like my sword senses!'
While Qing Shan was still thinking about many things, they had all passed through the bustling city and silence began to fill the new surroundings they had come to. The temperature in that place also started to drop drastically with the weather getting colder and harder as they went deeper into the forbidden area.
Flashes of formation light began to be seen and each of the Hubei Sect disciples came and went separately. In the deepest part, an iceberg appeared and looked strange. The ice was emitting a deep blue light. The central part of the mountain was excavated to build the chamber of an Ice palace, the Hubei Palace.
Other than some Hubei Sect elders, no one else was allowed to enter that palace! Even the disciples who led the way to the palace just now did not dare to enter!
“You can go now!” A roaring voice echoed from within the palace.
"Yes!"
After hearing that voice, the feeling of being observed could be felt by all of them.
Wu Shi, Jin Zhu and the others gasped for a moment and their cultivation realms were discovered secretly. Everyone experienced the same situation except Qing Shan.
On the other hand, Qing Shan was not at all surprised because he had sensed Ji Xie's ability this night before.
After that, everyone entered Hubei Palace.
Inside the palace, there was nothing to see. Only a bald old man wearing tattered clothes could be seen standing up. Judging from the sunken eyes on her face, she was estimated to be thousands of years old. He looked blind, but when his eye sockets looked towards Qing Shan's group, anxiety enveloped their hearts except for Qing Shan.
Qing Shan had a greater understanding of the empty eyes of this old man. At that moment, an illusion appeared in front of him. He felt that it was not this old man who was staring at him but the entire palace.
This old man was the Hubei Sect Master, Ji Xie.
His gaze was now fixed on Qing Shan after glancing at everyone. He had not managed to see through Qing Shan in the past three days. Today, even though he borrowed cold power from Hubei Palace, he still could not understand Qing Shan.
“It's nice to meet you, Zhang Partner!” Ji Xie greeted Qing Shan with clenched hands. However, it was followed by a cold wave of his spirit senses, trying to study Qing Shan.
“It's nice to meet you too Fellow Ji! I have joined the experts who are here. Hope you can give me some support! ” Qing Shan replied with a gentle smile. Meanwhile, he released all of his black Sword Intent and destroyed Ji Xie's Cold Sense.
It may not be a physical fight, but it is a battle of the spirit senses.
It was obvious that Ji Xies Cold sense was weaker than Qing Shan's sword sense. As his senses covered Qing Shan, his senses shattered instantly upon encountering Qing Shan's black sword senses.
Everyone was not even aware of what was happening other than seeing a flash of black color in the air.
Ji Xie was currently feeling astonished. However, he hid that feeling by putting on a calm expression as if nothing had happened. He then began to organize the troops he had already gathered..
'It is beyond my expectations that this Zhang En will have the Sword Intent. Besides, it's also very scary!'
“All fellow cultivators, I am truly grateful for all of you're willingness to help eliminate the demon army for our Tang Country. As per tradition, your cultivation methods will all be evaluated in the Spirit Power Stone. After which, everyone had to make the Demon Heart Oath and swallow the Location Tracking Pill. After you finish the evaluation, I will assign you all to the Department within the War Division or the Defense Division. After that, you can start executing missions and earn your battle points. ”
With just one touch in the air using his fingertips, the floor became frozen where a crack hole opened. A three-meter-high stone rose from the ground, covered in a cold mist.
It was the Power Measuring Spirit Stone. It emitted a ray of light that could determine the cultivation base and cultivation methods of the Gold Realm cultivators and above.
The background of foreign cultivators was difficult to check. It was even more difficult to find their true identity. Therefore, Ji Xie never insisted on knowing their background and intentions of coming to the Tang Country.
It was because by evaluating one's cultivation realm and cultivation base, he was able to find more information including elusive details that one was trying to hide.
