173: Exposure Seal

"Are you sure you want to look?" Bai Zhi looked meaningfully at Ye Qingyi and said mysteriously, "Chu Yuan has a secret. Don't be too surprised when you see it."

Ye Qingyi frowned, "What secret?"

Ye Qingyi grew more curious, but she didn't check rashly. "Little Brother, can I look?"

Chu Yuan shook his head slightly, "I was planning to tell Sister Qingyi before. If Sister Qingyi wants to look, then look."

Receiving Chu Yuan's permission, a smile bloomed on Ye Qingyi's small face, and she quickly released her Divine Thought to examine Chu Yuan's body.

Seeing the two faint spiritual seals in his Dantian, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

However, when her Divine Thought saw that god controlling talisman seal, her eyes instantly widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

"This... How is this possible?!"

Ye Qingyi looked at Chu Yuan in astonishment, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "Little Brother, what is going on with that ghost... that talisman seal?"

Chu Yuan smiled, "It was a fortunate Opportunity. I derived it through Sister Qingyi's secret art and have now Cultivated it to Perfection."

Ye Qingyi's mouth twitched, but then she heard Bai Zhi transmit a message: "Chu Yuan's secret art is much more powerful than your Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art."

"In the Secret Realm, that Ghost Granny already fell for it. She originally intended to attack you, but Chu Yuan hesitated at the time, which allowed you to escape calamity."

Hearing this, Ye Qingyi's eyes suddenly widened. She turned to look at Bai Zhi and asked via spiritual transmission:

"What do you mean? This secret art of Little Brother's can actually affect ghost gods?"

"What else?" Bai Zhi looked at her with a half-smile, chuckling playfully.

Ye Qingyi swallowed, and for some reason, a feeling of relief suddenly swelled in her heart.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Shangguan Xinglan frowned and asked, her eyes containing a hint of surprise and doubt.

Judging by what was just said, it seems this kid Chu Yuan has Cultivated a secret art to Perfection and condensed a talisman seal?

But what kind of talisman seal could shock Nether Night so much?

"It's nothing."

Ye Qingyi quickly shook her head, "Little Brother definitely has no problems."

Shangguan Xinglan frowned, looking at Chu Yuan with a hint of inquiry. "May I look?"

Ye Qingyi quickly laughed, "I don't think that's necessary. We have a contract with Little Brother, so would we harm him?"

Shangguan Xinglan said nothing, simply staring at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan nodded.

But then he heard Bai Zhi transmit a message: "Little Brother, just let her see the god controlling talisman seal. After all, your Revered Master-Disciple relationship..."

Bai Zhi didn't finish, but Chu Yuan already understood her meaning.

He thought so too.

As for hiding things from Shangguan Xinglan, hadn't he already let her look?

If a mighty expert of the God Realm couldn't see through the concealment of a Spirit Soul Realm cultivator, what could he do about it?

Shangguan Xinglan gently extended her Divine Thought and carefully examined Chu Yuan's body.

Her earlobes were slightly red, her expression appeared calm, but a hint of panic flashed deep within her eyes.

She had never used her Divine Thought to examine a man's body before. She hadn't expected everything to be so clear under the scrutiny of her Divine Thought.

Chu Yuan's Cultivation Foundation was solid, and there were no problems. However, his physique and spiritual energy were about twice as strong as those of an ordinary Initial Stage of Spirit Soul Realm cultivator.

Presumably, this was the benefit brought by the Yin-Yang Spirit Body.

As for his Soul, it was much, much stronger.

Shangguan Xinglan felt that Chu Yuan's Soul was very powerful. If he didn't lack divinity, it would almost rival the Divine Soul of an Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm expert.

This kid truly is a Genius!

However, when she saw that god controlling talisman seal, her expression couldn't help but change slightly as well.

It really is a talisman seal!

Only secret arts above Divine-Grade, Cultivated to Perfection, could possibly condense a talisman seal.

Looking at the faint aura of power emanating from this talisman seal, it is very likely a Saint-Grade secret art.

Is this kid's Comprehension Ability really such that of a Prodigy?

She withdrew her Divine Thought, looked at Chu Yuan, and asked, "Disciple, what is the use of this secret art?"

Just as Chu Yuan was about to speak, Ye Qingyi quickly set up a soundproofing barrier and said, "Are you crazy? Asking that in public? Do you want Little Brother to be hunted down?"

At these words, Shangguan Xinglan frowned. She glanced outside the barrier and only then realized the gravity of the situation.

She looked apologetically at Chu Yuan, "I'm sorry, I was a bit surprised just now, so I..."

"Revered Master, apologizing is too much for this Disciple. However, the effect of this secret art, if spoken aloud, truly makes one susceptible to being hunted."

Chu Yuan glanced at Ye Qingyi before continuing, "My secret art is stronger than the Ghost Spirit Divine Venerable's secret art; it can enslave ghost races whose Realm is slightly higher than mine."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xinglan realized something and looked at Ye Qingyi. "As far as I know, the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art can only enslave beings of the same Realm, right? No wonder Nether Night was so shocked."

Ye Qingyi nodded, her expression growing solemn. "To the ghost race, this secret art is likely even more terrifying than the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art, so Little Brother absolutely cannot expose it in front of outsiders."

The others all agreed.

Shangguan Xinglan, however, subtly glanced at Ye Qingyi. She vaguely felt that the talisman seal on Chu Yuan was definitely not simple!

"Let's not talk about this anymore!"

Ye Qingyi dispersed the barrier and looked at Shangguan Xinglan, saying, "Have you checked on Little Brother's matter? How is it?"

Chu Yuan turned to look at Shangguan Xinglan, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety.

Shangguan Xinglan nodded, "I made a special trip to greet Yu Jingyuan and specifically went to see those five people. They are all doing very well now."

Chu Yuan sighed in relief and quickly cupped his hands: "Thank you, Revered Master!"

"Why be so polite with me?" Shangguan Xinglan waved her hand, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Chu Yuan scratched his head and smiled, "Revered Master, I want to go and see them first. How about you take those Sect Disciples back first?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the many Xuantian Sect Disciples aboard the spirit boat not far away.

Shangguan Xinglan frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "Those two have special identities after all. I should take you there."

"As for the Sect Disciples..."

She glanced at Bai Zhi and smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Bai controls the Space Law. By combining the strength of the three of us, we can send them directly back to the Sect."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi rolled her eyes but didn't say anything more.

Ye Qingyi nodded.

Afterward, the group returned to the spirit boat, and Shangguan Xinglan notified the Disciples.

Without waiting for the Disciples to say anything more, they directly tore open space and threw them back to the Xuantian Sect.

Shangguan Xinglan did not forget to send a message to Sect Master Shangguan Feihong, and the four people headed toward Yuxiao City.

Aboard the spirit boat.

Ye Qingyi thought of what she had just seen and transmitted a message to Bai Zhi: "I feel that the other talisman seal is also very strong, but it seems to target the Yao Race. Is that secret art also that powerful?"

Bai Zhi nodded almost imperceptibly and replied via transmission: "He enslaved a few Yao Gods in the Secret Realm. If these God Realm experts had joined forces, you wouldn't have escaped, which is why I said you were lucky."

Ye Qingyi nodded slightly, her heart full of shock. Had the Little Brother she casually captured back then become this outrageous now?

Just then, Chu Yuan spoke up and asked, "Xiao Bai, how are the things I asked you to do coming along?"
