273: This kind of talent... is really intimidating.

As the group hurried towards the exit of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, Li Qi also introduced everyone to each other, and Ji Ying then learned of Li Qi's current identity.

The Personal Disciple of the Four Seas Sect's Sect Leader!

Ji Ying was very clear about what kind of School the Four Seas Sect was; it was a truly colossal force, dominating the world... spanning the four seas!

Within the Four Seas Sect, experts were as numerous as clouds; World King Realm experts were abundant, and there were quite a few at the even higher Enlightenment Realm!

Facing Gu Mihua, a Harmony Realm expert, Ji Ying felt immense pressure; Harmony Realm experts were renowned figures who made their mark in a region.

They usually presided over a territory and rarely traveled outside, and this was the closest Ji Ying had ever been to a Harmony Realm expert.

Just a few words from Li Qi had changed the Harmony Realm expert's mind about continuing to the Human Kings Tomb; Li Qi's opinion, even to a Harmony Realm expert, could not be ignored, which further astonished Ji Ying.

While traveling, Li Qi once again summoned four small turtle shells and performed the [Four Directions Tracking] to calculate a path, and Gu Mihua also noticed his actions.

"Hmm? This method of divination... is quite interesting indeed," Gu Mihua praised, looking at the four turtle shells in Li Qi's hand.

Li Qi politely replied, "It's a minor skill, not worth mentioning; I hope Elder doesn't laugh at it."

Gu Mihua shook his head, "This is not a minor skill at all."

"If I'm not mistaken, the divination method you just performed... should be derived from my Spiritual Turtle Eight Methods."

"Elder's insight is sharp; that is indeed the case."

Gu Mihua's heart tightened, thinking that his previous guess was correct; the reason he couldn't deduce Li Qi's whereabouts was indeed because the other party's mastery of the Dao of divination was far superior to his own.

It had only been a short month since he gifted the [Spiritual Turtle Eight Methods] to Li Qi, yet the other party had not only completely mastered this technique but had even innovated... discovering new approaches based on the original foundation.

Such talent... was truly awe-inspiring.

Gu Mihua's mind was filled with thoughts, but he remained silent, simply focusing on the journey.

Soon, the few of them arrived at the exit of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, and with a flash, they left the area.

Outside the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, many people were gathered, all from various major forces; the moment Li Qi and the others emerged from the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, many gazes fell upon them.

News of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains' appearance had only spread less than a day ago; currently, many people were rushing in, and few were coming out, so someone immediately wanted to step forward and inquire about the situation.

But when they saw Gu Mihua, the Harmony Realm expert... these people immediately retreated, knowing better.

The people of the Four Seas Sect were also waiting outside; Xiang Zhizhou and several Elders swept their gazes and were surprised to see not only Gu Mihua but also Li Qi.

"Li Qi? Why are you here too?"

Xiang Zhizhou looked at Li Qi in disbelief; after the Slaughtering Heaven Plains appeared, they quickly rushed over and guarded the outside, yet Li Qi had emerged from within the Slaughtering Heaven Plains.

This meant Li Qi had entered it even earlier than the people of the Four Seas Sect!

What the hell?

Xiang Zhizhou was full of questions, knowing it wasn't the time to ask, and instead looked at Gu Mihua: "Elder Gu, why did you come out early? Has something unexpected happened?"

Gu Mihua shook his head, "Let's leave here first before we talk."

The group did not linger either and immediately left the area where the Slaughtering Heaven Plains was located, and Ji Ying and the other person also bid farewell and temporarily departed.

After the people of the Four Seas Sect flew a certain distance, Xiang Zhizhou spoke, "Elder Gu, can you tell us now?"

Gu Mihua did not explain but looked at Li Qi, "You tell them."

With everyone looking at him, Li Qi had no choice but to start explaining.

"As everyone knows, I, Li Qi, am exceptionally talented and proficient in the art of divination..."

Everyone: ...

Seeing everyone speechless, Li Qi continued.

"Before entering the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, I had already performed a divination, and according to the hexagram... this place is extremely ominous, a near-certain death."

"Therefore, the Human Kings Tomb cannot be entered; whoever goes will die. It's enough to just wander around inside for a bit; we need to leave as soon as possible."

Xiang Zhizhou's eyes widened, momentarily unsure what to say.

Within the Four Seas Sect, if one were to name the foremost expert in the art of divination, Elder Gu Mihua was undoubtedly the one.

Is it really appropriate for you to be making such a fuss here?

Elder Gu Mihua is right beside you!

Xiang Zhizhou looked at Gu Mihua and tentatively asked, "Elder... what do you mean?"

Gu Mihua stroked his long beard and calmly said, "Li Qi's meaning is also my meaning."

Everyone involuntarily took a deep breath, their faces showing surprise.

The weight of Gu Mihua's words was undeniably significant.

Since this Elder, who had been proficient in the art of divination for many years, had spoken, it meant that what Li Qi had just said was true, and the Human Kings Tomb indeed could not be entered.

Xiang Zhizhou also sighed helplessly, "Alright, if we don't go, then we don't go."

He was clear-headed about such a major matter and knew that he should not insist at this time; if a Four Seas Sect Elder truly perished inside, that would be a huge problem.

"Since that's the case... let's go back."

Xiang Zhizhou said, then looked at Li Qi again, "Li Qi, you've been outside for a while now; come back with me this time."

Li Qi had quietly run off to a dangerous place like the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, and Xiang Zhizhou was worried about him, intending to bring Li Qi back to the Sect.

Li Qi quickly took a step back, "No, no, I still have things to do; I'll go back after I'm done."

Xiang Zhizhou's eyes widened, about to speak again, when Gu Mihua beside him interjected.

"Alright, Sect Leader... you don't need to worry about Li Qi."

"He's much more resourceful than you imagine; he won't get into trouble easily. Let him stay outside a bit longer if he wants to."

Since Gu Mihua had spoken, Xiang Zhizhou no longer insisted; after cautioning Li Qi to be careful outside, he returned with the rest of the Four Seas Sect members.

Li Qi let out a long sigh of relief, and he also headed in one direction.

Li Qi had already agreed with Ji Ying to meet again after they parted, and he planned to visit Ji Ying's Crane Sect.
