4377 Eavesdropping
Just as the two of them were talking, a divine sense quietly swept past. This divine sense was extremely minute. If it was a True Monarch level master, they would not be able to discover it at all. However, Huangfu qingjue was a genuine god level master. Although Ling Chuxi was not a god level master, she had a powerful divine sense at level nine of the sword heart soul breaking technique. She could easily discover the existence of this divine sense. Without thinking much, Ling Chuxi could guess that this divine sense was released by private advisor Yin. Xiao Hanshui did not have such strength.
The spiritual sense only stayed for a moment. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, it withdrew.
“It seems like someone is very worried about us.” Huangfu qingjue said with a mocking smile as he felt that the divine sense had gone far away.
“It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Why don’t we go and inquire about it?” Ling Chuxi blinked her eyes and smiled at Huangfu qingjue. Even though he already knew City Master Xiao’s plan, there was no harm in knowing more.
“That’s good. ” Huangfu qingjue looked at Ling Chuxi’s cheeky appearance and broke into a smile.
With their current spiritual awareness, it was not difficult for them to detect things hundreds of miles away. However, it was impossible for them to hear the conversation of others. So, the two quietly left the room and floated out of the courtyard wall.
Not far away, there were guards patrolling back and forth. However, with Ling Chuxi and Huangfu qingjue’s cultivation, they would naturally not be discovered by others.
If it was not for that divine sense just now, Ling Chuxi would not have known where Xiao Hanshui and advisor Yin were now. If she rashly used her divine sense, she would be easily discovered by the other party. However, following the divine sense mark left by advisor Yin just now, Ling Chuxi found the two of them very easily.
In the pavilion at the back of the inner residence, advisor Yin stood with his hands behind his back. His face was cold and proud. Beside him, City Master Xiao was slightly bowing, his attitude extremely respectful.
Ling Chuxi had initially thought that City Master Xiao was the mastermind behind this incident and that advisor Yin was only an accomplice. However, from the looks of it, she knew that she was wrong. In this matter, it was most likely advisor Yin who was the mastermind.
Not daring to get too close, the two stopped at the courtyard wall outside the inner mansion. They crushed two invisibility talismans to prevent being discovered by the patrolling guards. Then, they released their divine senses and quietly explored.
“Have you investigated the background of these people?” Advisor Yin asked.
“I’ve checked it out. Although their strength is quite good and they are the elites of the younger generation of their respective families, their identities are a bit awkward. I guess many people would like them to die outside during the training. Even if there is an accident, no one will investigate further. ” City Master Xiao said.
“That’s for the best. In the past few decades, at least a thousand, if not eight hundred, disciples of the great clans have died in the misty cloud mountains in order to open the sect-sealing formation. Even if the great clans “ruling council doesn’t care much about matters outside of the ancient clans, it’s hard to avoid them noticing if the matter gets blown up. I didn’t think that this sect sealing formation would be so powerful after ten thousand years. It’s fortunate that we’ve already tampered with it in Haojia village and didn’t rashly recruit the descendants of the ancient families, or else it would have been troublesome. ” Advisor Yin nodded.
Ling Chuxi and Huangfu qingjue looked at each other and were both secretly shocked. It had only been a few decades, and in order to open the misty cloud sect’s Grand sealing array, they had actually sacrificed thousands of young elites from the aristocratic families and sects.
While she was surprised, she also had a definite answer to her previous guess. The so-called natural disaster of the Hao Family Village was indeed caused by them. Thinking about the Hao family’s fall apart and the tragic situation of being forced to leave their homes, Ling Chuxi was full of hatred for advisor Yin and City Master Xiao.
