So you must be cautious, extremely cautious. From what I can tell, that Grand Elder's strength is likely at the Taiqing Realm, and possibly even higher.
You must be extremely careful with such a Cultivator; never let them find our weakness.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
He was all too clear about what would happen if he were caught.
A large Sect like this would have ten thousand ways to make him spill his secrets.
Any Elder who can become a Grand Elder in a Sect must have extraordinary strength.
He would never underestimate the other party.
However, since he is a Grand Elder, he probably wouldn't pay attention to a small fry like me in the Yuqing Realm, right?
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and wasn't too nervous.
As the two continued to advance, the surrounding environment began to change again.
Towns appeared one after another in the distance, and Mortals gradually began to appear in these towns.
Many of these cities were entirely inhabited by Mortals, but within these cities, tall nuo god statues were also erected.
The nuo god statues were continuously devouring the surrounding blood Qi day and night.
It seems Nuoshen Palace's ambition is truly vast.
Not only have the villagers in the mountains become their targets for extracting blood Qi, but they also haven't spared this place.
From this, it seems the Restriction they set up covers an area of at least tens of thousands of miles.
This is no small Restriction.
The Materials and resources required are also incredibly vast.
As he watched, a hint of worry flickered across Qin Xuan's face.
Nuoshen Palace's strength was even greater than he had imagined.
This was not a good thing.
He felt somewhat like he was playing with fire now.
Qin Xuan did not descend into these cities but instead headed directly towards Nuoshen Palace.
After advancing for several hours, the surrounding environment became open again.
Even the towns disappeared.
It seems we're almost there.
Qin Xuan's heart immediately tensed up.
After another half an hour of advancement, a massive mountain range appeared at the end of his sight.
Above the mountain range, there were dance halls and singing stages, flying eaves, and glazed tiles, a truly picturesque scene of the Immortal Realm on Earth.
From end to end, these buildings stretched for nearly a hundred miles.
“Is this Nuoshen Palace? From here, the buildings stretch for over a hundred miles.”
Qin Xuan secretly clicked his tongue in wonder.
Han Ye, however, was nonchalant, even scoffing.
“It's nothing much. Tianlei Sect was much larger than this.”
“During Tianlei Sect's heyday, the Sect occupied an entire mountain range, stretching for nearly a thousand miles, with nearly a hundred thousand miles around directly under Tianlei Sect's jurisdiction.”
At this point, Han Ye's voice also began to deepen.
“It's a pity that even such a powerful Tianlei Sect was still destroyed by others.”
As he spoke, Han Ye's voice carried pain and unwillingness.
Qin Xuan comforted him with a few words, then proceeded to head towards Nuoshen Palace.
Not long after flying in that direction, several figures appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
“Who goes there?”
Although Qin Xuan was wearing Nuoshen Palace's attire, these Disciples appeared to be from the law enforcement team, routinely stopping him.
Seeing these law enforcement team members, Qin Xuan wasted no words and immediately handed over his identity token.
The Disciple he was currently disguised as was a Disciple of Nuoshen Palace's Qianji Hall.
Taking the token and glancing at it twice, one of the law enforcement Disciples gave him a sidelong look.
“So it's someone from Qianji Hall. Since it's Qianji Hall, we won't investigate further. You may pass, but remember not to cause trouble. The Palace has been investigating strictly these past few days.”
The few law enforcement Disciples then made way.
Qin Xuan cupped his hands and immediately accelerated, leaving the area and heading forward.
“This Disciple from Qianji Hall actually understands a bit of etiquette; how rare.”
“He even knows to salute us.”
One of the law enforcement Disciples said somewhat strangely.
The others sneered.
“They in Qianji Hall are getting more and more arrogant now. Relying on the backing of the Sect Elder and the Palace Master, their actions are becoming increasingly reckless.”
Hearing this, the others also shook their heads helplessly.
“There's nothing we can do. Now the Grand Elder, the Palace Master, and the Grand Elder all support Thousand Dharma Hall, so we can't do anything.”
“Let them be arrogant for a few more days. After that big matter is complete, we'll deal with their Qianji Hall properly.”
After speaking, the few continued to patrol the surroundings, checking on other Disciples returning from outside.
After leaving that place, Qin Xuan immediately rushed towards Nuoshen Palace without stopping.
Based on the memory of the previous Disciple, he roughly knew where to go next.
“After each collection of blood Qi, this person has to go to the Elder of Qianji Hall to report the situation to the Elder and then hand over the blood Qi.”
Qin Xuan walked towards the Qianji Hall Elder's residence, contemplating in his mind how to deal with the other party's interrogation.
“This kid, by my calculations, should have arrived ten days later. Since he's coming early this time, he'll need to find an excuse.”
Qin Xuan frowned, continuously thinking.
This reason must not be too abrupt.
The Qianji Hall is specifically responsible for collecting this blood Qi, and he basically knows all those Elders.
After a while, he arrived at the door of the Qianji Hall's Law Enforcement Elder.
“Come in.”
As soon as he reached the door, a powerful Divine Soul immediately probed over, and then a lazy voice came from inside.
“Come in, the door isn't closed.”
The Elder said from inside.
Qin Xuan hurriedly walked in.
Inside the room, the Elder was meditating. Seeing Qin Xuan approach, he opened his eyes.
“Why are you here so early this time? Isn't the day for collecting blood Qi ten days from now?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan immediately spoke the words he had prepared in his mind.
“Reporting to Elder, this time, on one hand, it's because enough blood Qi has already been collected, and any more would be wasted.”
“On the other hand, it's because this Disciple discovered an unusual situation in the Mortal villages.”
“An unusual situation? What happened? Tell me about it.”
Hearing about an unusual situation, the Elder immediately spoke in surprise, wanting to understand what was going on.
“This Disciple sensed an extremely powerful force that day. It should be an outsider who tore open the Restriction near us and then forced their way in.”
“This matter is of great importance, and this Disciple dared not conceal it, so I rushed here to report.”
“How should this matter be handled? I ask the Elder to decide.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, the Elder's expression softened again.
He nodded towards Qin Xuan.
“You did well in this matter, reporting the situation immediately. However, there's no need to worry about this matter.”
“Indeed, someone broke into our Sect's Restriction before, but the Elder responsible for monitoring the Restriction discovered it immediately that day and reported it to the Palace Master.”
“When the Palace Master learned the news, he also immediately reported it to the Grand Elder, and for this, the Grand Elder also awoke from his seclusion.”
