The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 317 - Feeling the Danger of the Near
The huge profits taken by the Tropical Palace caused discontent among the Tang State higher ups.
King Tang would at least live for a few thousand more years. He would naturally have a problem with the Tropical Palace because he would lose millions of spirit stones from them. If the Tang King accumulated that much wealth and did not deposit 90 percent to the Tropical Palace, he could break through the Spirit Realm. Then, the Tang Country would become a High-Tier cultivation country.
“This teleportation formation is quite rare!” Qing Shan said in praise.
The cultivator guiding them heard him and said, "Senior Zhang is indeed knowledgeable. This is truly a God Formation. It was said that the formation master of the Tropical Palace personally came to assess this formation and came to the same conclusion as you. It was completely unexpected for senior Zhang to be able to identify him accurately when he had first seen him. ”
"Thank you." Qing Shan simply nodded in response to the cultivator's flattery. Even so, the cultivator felt both happy and proud of his praise.
The old man, Jin Zhu looked at Qing Shan in admiration and said inwardly. 'If I form the soul core and become a true Soul Realm expert in the Infinite Ocean, I will become like him, respected by others.'
As for Wu Shi, he covered his mouth with his hands, trying to hold back his laughter when he saw how Qing Shan acted like a true old expert. He was thinking about what the cultivator would feel if he discovered that the young man he called senior was only a very young peak Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator.
Ten thousand meters in the underground passageway, there was a vast land supported by the formation.
Seven people were already there, waiting for the formation to activate. Five of them were Gold Realm cultivators while the other two were early stage Soul Realm experts. When they saw Qing Shan and his friends, they all revealed friendly smiles and cupped their fists to greet them.
“We are Chen Xiu and Yang Zhu. It is a great honor for us to meet Commander Zhang En!”
"Oh? You two look familiar!”
"Hehe. I think Commander Zhang forgot about us. We're also from the War Division. We had met before in the Misty Palace when the Snow Elder summoned all the Soul Realm cultivators in the palace. ”
Chen Xiu and Yang Zhu were both foreign cultivators. Each of them was an old ancestral figure in an Intermediate Level cultivation country. When they went to a Low-Level cultivation country, the cultivators across the country had to greet them respectfully. But, when the two met Qing Shan, they acted very courteously.
The only reason for them to behave like that was because of Qing Shan's strength, gaining their admiration.
“Uhuk. Uhuk! So you're Fellow Chen and Fellow Yang. Nice to meet you two here.” Qing Shan replied with a thin smile but he was very surprised in his heart.
He was not surprised by their politeness before him, but he was surprised by their faces. He sensed that the two of them would soon die by looking at their faces.
'Was their death related to the danger I felt? Don't tell me Demon General Yi Lan has arrived in Guan Zhou City before! It's bad! We need to teleport right away now! If Demon General Yi Lan of the Spirit Realm comes, none of us can stop him!' Said Qing Shan inwardly with a feeling of uncertainty.
"Eh? Fellow Zhang doesn't seem to look good. Have you not fully recovered?” The two Soul Realm realm cultivators asked showing their concern to Qing Shan.
"It's not. I'm fine." Qing Shan could not just tell them directly what he felt and thought and could only say inwardly, “I see the expression of death looming from your faces. You two will die horribly soon..”.
“Hemm. I have heard that Commander Zhang suffered severe injuries and had to resign from his position as commander of King Tang's forces. I really feel that it is unfortunate. ”
“Actually it's not like that. Because of my carelessness, I was injured in that battle. I hope my colleagues won't all laugh at me. Hm. I was just thinking why this teleportation formation had not been activated yet. I've been impatient to leave the Tang Country.” A fold formed between Qing Shan's eyebrows as he spoke. He felt a sense of danger rapidly approaching them, disturbing his calm.
"Hehe. Fellow cultivator Zhang might not know about this. This teleportation formation will be able to teleport us millions of kilometers away. Because the teleportation distance is too far away, we may all lose our lives in the spatial space of the teleportion if something goes wrong with the formation that can interfere with the teleportation process. Therefore, the formation had to go through a careful examination before activating it. This may take a few days. I will go to Shou Country in the central continent to attend alisani. Meanwhile, Fellow Yang was about to leave as well to save his sect. How're you? You seem to be in a hurry. I'd be very happy if you happened to go to the same destination as us.”
"Ha ha's. I think I'm gonna let you down. I'll go to the boundless Ocean to the south. I want to break through my cultivation realm bottleneck there !"
"What?! Breaking through your cultivation realm bottleneck? Don't tell Fellow Zhang will break through to the late stage Soul Realm realm?”
Chen Xiu and Yang Zhu gaped in surprise. Chen Xiu became more respectful towards Qing Shan while the man named Yang Zhu was envious of Qing Shan's cultivation progress.
However, they were still unaware that Qing Shan was not a True Soul Realm realm cultivator at all. Qing Shan was just looking for an excuse..But even if Qing Shan told them the truth, they would not believe it.
Chen Xiu could still speak and laugh but Yang Zhu's face turned dark after hearing Qing Shan's goal.
Qing Shan's brows were increasingly tightly intertwined. As his instinct told him that the danger was getting closer, his heart became even more anxious.
"Can we enter the formation now?"
“Eh. Why are you so impatient, Fellow Zhang. You should know that it will take quite a while to check the formation first to be safe, right? If there is any mistake during teleportation, we can all die.” Chen Xiu replied in a relaxed tone.
“Actually, I have urgent matters that I have to deal with and have to leave immediately. Can we ask to activate the teleportation formation immediately? ” Qing Shan shook his head weakly. Of course he was willing to wait a little longer for security if there was no threat he was currently feeling. Now, all he wanted was to waste no more time waiting and stay away from this Tang Country as far as possible.
