Chapter 161: Chapter 112: North Magnetic Divine Palace, Sword Shatters Spiritual Artifact!

"This hidden Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator is very likely someone from the Celestial Soul Hall!"

Outside the Red Maple Valley, Qi Chuan’s eyes were shrouded with an invisible thin film of spiritual light. He glanced sideways towards the northeast, in the direction of a small patch of low hills, silently pondering.

He had already secretly utilized the Perfection Level eye technique, the Clarity Spirit Eye.

This eye technique was extraordinary to begin with, and once cultivated to Perfection Level, it had significant utility even within the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The opponent’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Realm, so although their concealment techniques were good, they were still seen through by Qi Chuan.

"Go and have a look!"

Qi Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, yet still maintained the appearance of an ordinary Qi family disciple, heading towards a direction outside the Red Maple Valley, as if executing a family mission.

Coincidentally, this direction just happened to be towards the small patch of low hills in the northeast.

At the same time, within that small patch of low hills, on one of the trees of a lush overgrown hill, stood a figure in a black robe, standing with hands behind his back on a tree branch, exuding a hidden yet powerful Foundation Establishment Early Stage spiritual pressure, his gaze always fixed in the direction of the Red Maple Valley mountain range.

"Tian Hunzi and the Golden Silkworm sent me to spy on the Qi Family’s Red Maple Valley. This area falls under the rule of Wind Moon Sect. If I get discovered by a Core Formation expert from the Wind Moon Sect, wouldn’t I end up explaining myself here?"

The black-robed figure, while observing the situation in and around Red Maple Valley, also inwardly cursed.

His name was Qin Bei, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, and he had been at this stage for many years, barely considered an old hand at this stage. In his Dantian, he had condensed a total of twenty-one drops of Liquid Magical Power, making his mana relatively substantial.

He possessed two identities.

Firstly, he was one of the Elders of the Celestial Soul Hall, ranked towards the bottom, but not the last. He was a few ranks higher and more powerful than Lin Sha, who was recently slain by Qi Chuan.

He was dispatched this time by the Celestial Soul Hall Supreme Elder, Golden Silkworm, and the Sect Leader, Tian Hunzi, to the exterior of Red Maple Valley to oversee the situation inside and out. The goal was to find traces of Qi Chuan or acquire definite evidence that Qi Chuan was still alive to report back to the Sect.

If he could definitively prove that Qi Chuan was still alive, then Golden Silkworm and Tian Hunzi, coveting the opportunities Qi Chuan acquired in the Secret Realm Space, would definitely take targeted action.

If it was proven that Qi Chuan was indeed dead, it would save a lot of trouble in his view, which was something he would gladly see.

Secondly, he was also an undercover agent sent from the North Magnetic Mountain to the Celestial Soul Hall, among the five nearby Core Formation Sects: Celestial Soul Hall, Wind Moon Sect, Valley of Myriad Beasts, Profound Pill Sect, and North Magnetic Mountain itself!

In Nanhua State, there were only about a dozen Core Formation influences. These five sects were relatively close in proximity, and their strengths were considered the upper medium among the dozen Core Formation influences, having quite a bit of entanglement and conflict among them.

Moreover, all Core Formation influences knew that among these five Core Formation Sects, North Magnetic Mountain was the most mysterious. Although it seemed unassuming, it might be the strongest among the five Core Formation Sects.

This was because, among the five Core Formation Sects, the other four had nobody above, but North Magnetic Mountain was different. It was the only Nascent Soul Major Sect in Nanhua State, centrally located in Nanhua State, and one of the subordinate influences of the North Magnetic Divine Palace.

As the only Nascent Soul Major Sect in Nanhua State, the North Magnetic Divine Palace was renowned, having dominated Nanhua State for at least several thousand years. Within Nanhua State, no one dared to challenge its reputation, making its subordinate influences, including the nearby four Core Formation Sects: Wind Moon Sect, Celestial Soul Hall, yet would not dare to provoke.

Interestingly enough, when Qin Bei first began as an undercover agent for North Magnetic Mountain and was dispatched to Celestial Soul Hall, he was merely a Qi Refining Disciple.

Later, within Celestial Soul Hall, his strength gradually increased, revealing his talent, and he unexpectedly seized a True Disciple seat, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill gifted by Celestial Soul Hall, thereby stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm and becoming one of the Foundation Establishment Elders.

He initially thought that after his promotion to Foundation Establishment, he would be overjoyed, and assumed he would be recalled by North Magnetic Mountain, ending his life as an undercover agent living like a mouse. But unexpectedly, North Magnetic Mountain surprisingly wanted him to continue to lurk, much to his dissatisfaction.

If this continued, he feared that he, the undercover agent, might become a Powerful Elder in Celestial Soul Hall.

As for today, his dissatisfaction with Tian Hunzi and the Golden Silkworm also stemmed from the fact that coming just outside Red Maple Valley posed considerable risks.

Qi Chuan was most likely not dead, and having gained opportunities in the Secret Realm Space, the Wind Moon Sect would surely protect him with utmost care. By venturing into Wind Moon Sect’s dominion to investigate, he risked burying himself in deep trouble.

"Moreover, even if Qi Chuan were alive, knowing that those from Celestial Soul Hall harbor intentions towards him, how dare he easily return to Red Maple Valley? Could he really have blindly believed in something like ’hidden in plain sight’?"

At this moment, Qin Bei watched the happenings in and outside of Red Maple Valley, internally grumbling.

Anyway, if he were Qi Chuan, without any urgent matters, he would never return to Red Maple Valley. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After all, although the Celestial Soul Hall’s Supreme Elder, Golden Silkworm, and the Sect Leader could not come here, this time those dispatched into Wind Moon Sect’s territory to investigate secretly included some Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Elders.
