Chapter 3664 Observing the Situation

“Interesting!”

A smile appeared on the lips of the Huangliang Sect Leader.

He was certain that the other party had never left.

He just didn’t know what kind of methods the other party had used to deceive his detection.

But it was naturally surprising that a Celestial Emperor could deceive the divine sense power of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

At the same time ,

the divine sense came suddenly.

The Huangliang Sect Leader even suspected that the other party had noticed something, which was why they were using their divine sense to search so freely.

But no matter what, he didn’t care too much.

With a mere Celestial Emperor, they were not qualified to find him.   The Huangliang Sect Leader was confident enough

in this .   On the other side.   Inside the Yangxin Residence.   Shen Changqing frowned.   ”Nothing…”   He had already searched the entire Xuantian Dao Sect inside and out with his divine sense, but there was still no news.   In that case,   there were only two possibilities.   Either the other party had already left the Xuantian Dao Sect, or the other party was hiding with special methods, which even he could not detect.   If it were the former, that would be fine, but if it were the latter, it would mean that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect harbored a major hidden danger, which could erupt at any moment.   Thinking of this,   Shen Changqing disappeared from the Yangxin Residence, reappearing in the Wuya Hall.   Not long after,   the nine peak masters arrived.   ”Sect Master!”   The crowd bowed to Shen Changqing, who remained silent, looking at them expressionlessly.   This scene   made many cultivators’ hearts skip a beat.   After a long while, Shen Changqing nodded: “Please sit!”   Hearing this, the nine peak masters finally sat down.   Just now, Shen Changqing had used the power of the Seven Profound Divine Tower to examine all nine peak masters.   After all, no matter how well they concealed themselves, no matter how well they simulated their aura, they could never escape the detection of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   This   was one of the great functions of this treasure.   Any disguise was exposed.   So far   , Shen Changqing had not found any Half-Saint who could hide from the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   Of course…   The investigation was one thing   , but if the other party attacked instantly, it would be meaningless.   Just like the Yellow Millet Temple Master before.   Then   there were those at the Saint level and above.   Currently, the Seven Profound Divine Tower could only detect Half-Saint level experts; it struggled to detect the aura of Saints and above.   Shen Changqing wasn’t sure if this was the upper limit of such a treasure, or if it was due to his own poor cultivation,   but judging from the situation just now, the cultivator who invaded the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was only a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.   Such cultivation   naturally couldn’t escape the power of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   At this moment,   someone broke the silence: “Sect Master, why did you suddenly summon us here? Has something major happened?”   ”Not long ago, a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint infiltrated the sect.”   ”What—”   Upon hearing this, the nine peak masters’ expressions changed drastically.   A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint!   How could they not know what such an existence represented?   The infiltration of such a powerful being into the sect naturally alarmed them.   Mingxi’s expression was serious: “How did the Sect Master know about this?”   It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Shen Changqing, but the matter was simply too unbelievable.   A Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint had infiltrated the Xuantian Dao Sect—what was their purpose?   Furthermore—   why would Shen Changqing have discovered something about someone of this level?   After all, a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was already at the very end of the Half-Saint realm; if they were truly intent on concealing themselves, they shouldn’t have been so easily discovered.   Shen Changqing said, “I have my own methods. That Half-Saint recently swept through the sect with their divine sense, which is why I noticed them.   Otherwise, truly discovering their presence wouldn’t have been easy!”   ”Unfortunately, I searched with my divine sense afterward but couldn’t find any trace of that Half-Saint. Now there are only two possibilities: first, that Half-Saint has already left;   second, they are still lurking within the sect. If it’s the latter, then we must find them!”   These words   silenced the Nine Peak Masters.   The thought of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint lurking in the shadows, watching them, sent chills down their spines.   Such a being must have ulterior motives.   Moreover,   a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint was far beyond their capabilities.   If the being were to make a move, a single exchange would be enough to annihilate them.   No matter what kind of Immortal Emperor or Ancient Immortal they were, in the eyes of such a being, they were no different from ants.   The pressure they felt   at that moment was unimaginable.   Chu Junhe’s expression was grave: “According to the Sect Master’s words, if this Nine Tribulation Half-Saint is not found, he will be a huge hidden danger.   But similarly… if we expose this Half-Saint, will it enrage him and cause him to attack in anger?”   Expose him!   Or not expose him!   Both were difficult choices.   After all, the destructive power of an enraged Nine Tribulation Half-Saint was unimaginable.   These words made the atmosphere in the Boundless Palace even heavier.   Expose him was problematic, and not exposing him was also problematic.   In contrast, Shen Changqing’s expression was much calmer: “As long as we can find this half-saint, then I will naturally be confident in dealing with him.”

The biggest problem right now is finding this half-saint’s whereabouts.

As the masters of the Nine Peaks, have you noticed anything amiss these past few days?”

Hearing this ,

everyone frowned.

After a moment, they all shook their heads.

“We haven’t found anything yet.”

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing fell silent.

He thought for a moment before making a decision.

“Since this half-saint has infiltrated the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, he will not easily reveal his whereabouts. For the next period of time, you don’t need to alert him; just proceed as before.

Furthermore, I will leave a restriction on each of you.

This restriction will not pose any threat to you, but if that half-saint makes a move, I will be able to detect it immediately.

Three years later, it will be the sect’s disciple competition. At that time, we will gather all the sect disciples together.

As long as this half-saint appears, he will have nowhere to hide!” “

The disciple competition is held once every 100,000 years.

And the next one

will be exactly three years from now.

” Hearing this, the group exchanged glances and nodded.

It seemed that this was the only option.

Seeing that they had no objections, Shen Changqing said no more and directly left a divine soul mark on each of them.

This divine soul mark was placed in their sea of consciousness.

If their sea of consciousness was invaded, this restriction would be triggered immediately.

At that time,

Shen Changqing would be able to detect it.

As for openly tracing the other party out now, that was impossible.

Doing so would easily alert the enemy.

If a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint received advance notice and was determined to hide, finding the other party would be even more difficult.

Shen Changqing planned to use the sect competition three years later to find the other party.

Afterwards,

everyone gradually dispersed.

Soon, only Ji Yang remained in the Boundless Hall.

“Master, what do you think is the origin of this Half-Saint who infiltrated the sect?” “

It’s hard to say… The Xuan Tian Dao Sect has quite a few open enemies; at least I’ve offended more than one or two Half-Saints.

But right now, the most likely culprits are probably the Huang Liang Divine Sect, or other dark sects.

However, confirming their identities isn’t so simple until we truly expose them.

You’ll need to be careful for the next while.”

Shen Changqing looked at his disciple and gave him a warning.

Of course,

he knew

his warning was unnecessary .

Ji Yang was always cautious, and he wouldn’t be careless when facing a hidden Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

It was just that

Ji Yang’s cultivation was too weak.

Even if the other party was a reincarnation of a Dao Venerable at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm, it would be difficult for him to contend with a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

“This disciple will be careful!” Ji

Yang nodded.

However, he wasn’t too worried. If the other party was a half-saint from the Dark Cult, they wouldn’t act so easily.

That would only hasten their exposure.

Therefore,   the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was safe

for the time being .   Furthermore, if the other party was in a hurry to act, they wouldn’t waste time infiltrating the sect; they could simply attack directly.   At least on the surface, a nine-tribulation half-saint was far beyond the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s ability to contend with.   Of course,   Ji Yang wasn’t too worried.   Others might not know Shen Changqing’s background, but he certainly did.   Behind him was a Chaos Ruler.   Even a few methods left behind by such an existence were enough to deal with half-saint cultivators.   Shen Changqing’s claim of being confident in dealing with a nine-tribulation half-saint suggested, in Ji Yang’s view, that the other party likely possessed such a trump card.   A moment later,   Ji Yang also left the Boundless Palace.   Shen Changqing’s figure vanished.   At the same time   , the peak masters returned to their respective territories, their expressions… Despite the changes, everyone was filled with anxiety.   After all, it was difficult for anyone to remain calm knowing that a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was lurking within the sect.   Such a powerful being could suppress them in a single encounter.   Even if they had the restrictions left by Shen Changqing, what good would that do?   Once the restrictions were triggered, they would have no chance of survival.   At that time ,   death would be truly certain.   Under such circumstances, how many could remain calm?   But everyone understood that the closer they got to this point, the less they could panic, otherwise, if they attracted the attention of that Half-Saint, they would inevitably be in danger.   Therefore,   in the following days,   the peak masters of each peak kept to themselves, mostly focusing on seclusion to await the sect’s grand competition.   On the other hand,   within the Yangxin Residence, Shen Changqing was also as usual.   He wasn’t afraid of a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, so naturally he had nothing to worry about.   If the opponent dared to show himself, Shen Changqing was confident he could suppress him.   There was no use in being anxious at this time; they could only observe and wait.
