334: Game between the strong
Within the Li Huo Immortal Sect's Inner Sect.
On a low, picturesque mountain peak filled with Immortal Qi, Sect Leader He sat on a small stool, his gaze fixed on a delicate small chessboard placed at his feet.
Although the chessboard was not large, the black and white pieces on it could change by themselves.
Sect Leader He's brows furrowed and relaxed continuously, following the changes on the chessboard.
"Revered Master, someone is requesting to see you outside."
Just then, a young man dressed in a green Daoist robe walked behind Sect Leader He and spoke softly. Sect Leader He nodded, telling him to let them in.
"Yes, Revered Master."
The Daoist-robed youth turned and left. A moment later, Ge Qingyun walked in front of Sect Leader He with a triumphant expression and said, "Old He, I'm here to see you about something!"
"You're here to see me about something?"
Sect Leader He looked at Ge Qingyun with a puzzled expression, then let out a soft 'hmm', continuously scrutinizing Ge Qingyun from head to toe, as if searching for something.
"Sect Head, I'll be frank. I came here with two people today, but if you can find where the other person is, then you're truly impressive!"
Ge Qingyun showed no restraint, directly sitting down in front of Sect Leader He and staring intently at the chessboard at his feet. Sect Leader He casually took out a piece of white gauze to cover the chessboard, then began to look around again, the awkwardness in his eyes growing more intense.
Because he had also calculated that Ge Qingyun and his Disciple had come together, but now... he couldn't find where the other person was.
"You two are here to show off your invisibility Cultivation Technique, aren't you?"
Sect Leader He smiled slightly, then reached into his sleeve. Immediately, a wisp of white mist emerged from his sleeve and enveloped Ge Qingyun, completely wrapping him in an instant.
Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately integrated himself into space.
When the mist completely enveloped Ge Qingyun, although Qin Feng was still on his shoulder, his body had actually merged with space and would not be detected by the mist.
Sect Leader He let out another soft 'hmm', his face involuntarily flushing slightly.
Ge Qingyun laughed loudly at this, then said, "Old He, can you do it or not? If not, I'll call my Disciple out."
"I was indeed unobservant."
Sect Leader He showed a wry smile, then said, "Qin Feng, come out. Don't make the Sect Head lose too much face."
Since things had come to this, Qin Feng no longer intended to remain hidden. He directly disengaged from space and appeared on his Revered Master's shoulder, then transformed into his true form from a crow and flew to the ground, cupping his hands in greeting to Sect Leader He, "Disciple Qin Feng greets the Sect Head!"
"Your hiding Cultivation Technique can deceive my eyes; it's not simple."
Sect Leader He showed an expression of appreciation in his eyes, then said, "You came here to see if you could evade the Sea Dragon God Sect's sight, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"This old man has already reached the Body Integration Great Perfection Realm, only one step away from the Mahayana Stage. If even I cannot detect your traces, then the people from the Sea Dragon God Sect should not be able to either. Rest assured."
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Head."
Qin Feng cupped his hands in thanks again, then looked at Ge Qingyun.
Since his objective had been achieved, there was no need to stay here. Qin Feng had originally intended to ask Ge Qingyun if he wanted to leave together, but he waved his hand and said to Qin Feng:
"You go first. This old man wants to see the outcome of this game of Go!"
"Then this Disciple bids farewell."
Qin Feng cupped his hands and bowed, while secretly glancing at the chessboard at Sect Leader He's feet. Although it was covered by white gauze, he could still see the pieces on the board constantly changing below. It was clear that this was not a simple game of Go; it might be some kind of divination or deduction technique.
However, this was a matter between experts, and Qin Feng had no intention of getting involved.
After leaving the small hill where Sect Leader He resided, Qin Feng was walking towards the Outer Sect when he was suddenly stopped by the young man in the green Daoist robe from earlier.
He now had a strange smile on his face as he asked Qin Feng, "Junior Brother, why did you two come to see my Revered Master?"
"Just to ask for some guidance on Cultivation matters."
The smile on the youth's face gradually turned into a sneer. He looked at Qin Feng contemptuously, then his Divine Sense surged like a tide into Qin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, clearly intending to forcibly check if he was lying.
If he succeeded, many secrets in his Sea of Consciousness, including his inner secrets, would be discovered. If he resisted, he might offend this Personal Disciple of the Sect Head, which is why he was so unbridled?
Seeing that the opponent's Sea of Consciousness had already touched his forehead and was about to enter his brain, Qin Feng's inner vexation grew stronger, and he immediately used his Divine Sense to resist.
"Hmm?"
The youth's eyes showed surprise, then he sneered, "I didn't expect a small Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator like you to have such strong Divine Sense!"
"How about this, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you hand over the Cultivation Technique for cultivating your Divine Soul, I will let you go. How about it?"
"My Divine Soul is innate; there is no Cultivation method for it."
Qin Feng smiled slightly, then looked towards the small mountain behind him. He didn't know what Formation was set up on it; although it was close by, he couldn't see the scene on the mountain peak. And this youth's Realm was also above his own. If a conflict arose, Qin Feng was a little worried it would make things difficult for him.
"In that case, then you may leave. However, it won't be so easy for you to see my Revered Master again in the future."
The mockery on the youth's face grew more intense, from the initial pretense to now not even bothering to pretend.
Qin Feng nodded, then decisively turned and left.
Although this youth was Sect Leader He's Disciple, Qin Feng could feel his strong jealousy just now.
Perhaps he hadn't yet received Sect Leader He's true inheritance. If any young Disciple were to visit Sect Leader He, it would make him intensely jealous, afraid that someone else had received Sect Leader He's true inheritance, which is why he acted this way.
Poor clown...
Qin Feng despised him internally, but was too lazy to waste time on such a person. After leaving the Inner Sect, he immediately rushed towards the outside of the Sect.
After leaving the Sect's isolated space, Qin Feng immediately used the Dao One Art to conceal his aura and body. Although he could still be seen with the naked eye at this moment, it was only visible to the naked eye. As long as one's Realm was not too far above his own, they basically couldn't detect his presence with Divine Sense.
"Fortunately, I developed a Cultivation Technique to hide my aura back then, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome now."
Qin Feng sighed, then silently headed towards the nearby Spirit Monkey Mountain.
A moment later.
Arriving at Spirit Monkey Mountain, Qin Feng stood silently on the mountaintop, turning around to look at the Daoist-robed youth who was gradually following him without any concealment, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
The youth reached the peak and said expressionlessly, "Qin Feng, are you going to hand over that Cultivation Technique or not?"
Facing the other party's aggressive behavior, Qin Feng's consideration became much simpler. He opened his mouth and asked the Daoist-robed youth, "I just want to know how Sect Leader He views this kind of behavior from you."
"My Revered Master? He naturally doesn't concern himself with such matters. For Cultivators, it's the law of the jungle. As long as I don't completely cripple you, asking you for a Cultivation Technique isn't considered bullying."
Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately started to laugh.
