Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 556 - 308: Quasi-Great True Monarch, Jin Wuchen!

Moreover, more attention fell on Qi Chuan.

After all, they were quite familiar with Qingyun True Monarch, but Qi Chuan, having not been seen for some time, often felt different.

The two knew that Qi Chuan had entered the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm for about a decade or two.

They rarely saw this person and didn’t know the exact extent of his abilities.

However, based on their understanding of Qi Chuan, they knew he was unpredictable, and even though it had only been ten or twenty years since his advancement, they dared not underestimate him lightly.

Now, seeing Qi Chuan and unable to perceive the depth of his aura, they couldn’t help but feel a slight chill in their hearts.

Could it be that Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul height and foundation were above their own?

Or perhaps he used Profound Concealing Breath Divine Techniques to hide it...

Just as Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang were observing Qi Chuan, Ji Feng’s gaze also fell upon Qi Chuan and the others.

"You are late, but not too late, it’s still acceptable."

Ji Feng looked at Qi Chuan and the others, smiling lightly.

Although he still retained a hint of pride from the Ancient Spirit Sect, he did not disrespect the two from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect as he did Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang.

After all, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect alone had provided half the manpower.

Ji Feng was willing to save some face for the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

As Ji Feng spoke, Jin Wuchen, standing with arms crossed on a giant rock in the front, finally turned around slowly, his gaze fixed on the four from Beihua State.

His gaze swept over Cangjian True Monarch, True Monarch of Yin and Yang, even Qingyun True Monarch, without pausing.

His expression was indifferent and unconcerned.

No matter how high or low these people’s Nascent Soul foundations were, their Nascent Soul heights, even five-inch nine eight, hadn’t reached a level worth Jin Wuchen’s interest.

Only Ji Feng alone made them dread him immensely.

However, when his gaze finally rested on Qi Chuan, it paused slightly.

"Could it be that this person has seen through Junior Brother Qi Chuan’s details?"

Feeling Jin Wuchen’s gaze on Qi Chuan, others didn’t find it odd, but Qingyun True Monarch felt a little tense.

After all, he was the only one present who knew in advance that Qi Chuan had entered the Quasi-Great True Monarch Realm and had tampered with the Spiritual Power Mark near the heart of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

If Jin Wuchen discovered any issues with Qi Chuan, it could prove troublesome.

Not that Qi Chuan feared Jin Wuchen, but the Ancient Spirit Sect behind Jin Wuchen was not easy to provoke.

Fortunately, after observing Qi Chuan for a while, Jin Wuchen only slightly nodded, calmly saying, "Your Concealing Breath Technique is cultivated quite well; you nearly deceived me."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Wuchen, I am Qi Chuan. These minor techniques could never deceive a Quasi-Great True Monarch, I apologize for the oversight," Qi Chuan responded to Jin Wuchen with a modest bow.

Beside Jin Wuchen, Ji Feng also chuckled: "Senior Brother Jin indeed has sharp eyes. Prior to this, when I first saw Qi Chuan in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, even I couldn’t discern his depth."

"Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan’s Concealing Breath Divine Techniques are truly outstanding."

Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang exchanged a glance upon hearing this, their expressions somewhat surprised.

Qingyun True Monarch felt initially tense upon hearing Jin Wuchen’s words, but soon relaxed seeing Jin Wuchen’s expression and tone, though his eyes still harbored some peculiarity:

"It seems Jin Wuchen didn’t notice anything amiss, but how exactly did Junior Brother Qi Chuan achieve it..."

"I apologize for the mishap," Qi Chuan offered another bow to the gathered True Monarchs.

Internally, he mused, "This Jin Wuchen’s Nascent Soul height should be five-inch nine one..."

There was nothing surprising to Qi Chuan about Jin Wuchen’s remarks.

This was his deliberate act.

Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul height was indeed five-inch nine.

But considering the foundation of the Nascent Soul, it could be seen as five-inch ninety-nine, far surpassing Jin Wuchen, not by mere increments.

Although Jin Wuchen’s five-inch nine one was just a mere zero-inch zero-eight from Qi Chuan’s five-inch ninety-nine,

He would likely never cross this zero-inch zero-eight in his lifetime.

Along with Qi Chuan’s Profound Concealing Breath Divine Techniques, his true cultivation was naturally beyond Jin Wuchen’s discernment.

The bit Jin Wuchen thought he uncovered was simply a feigned aura Qi Chuan deliberately let slip.

That’s why Jin Wuchen spoke as he did.

Now, Jin Wuchen, no longer curious, retracted his gaze.

At this moment, Ji Feng proactively spoke: "Let me explain the current situation and hunting arrangements in place for Senior Brother Jin Wuchen."

"The Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon has entered the Broken Spirit Mountain Range ahead and is hiding there somewhere."

"The Broken Spirit Mountain Range is bordered by water on two sides and an abyss on the other; only the south side where we are now is an appropriate exit."

"Later, Senior Brother Jin Wuchen will personally guard this place, preventing the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon from escaping, while I and you four True Monarchs will carry the Treasure-Seeking Mouse and enter the Broken Spirit Mountain Range to search for the dragon’s trail."

"If anyone finds it, they must immediately notify Senior Brother Jin Wuchen and me, and engage it for a moment."

"Once Senior Brother Jin Wuchen arrives, given his strength, he will naturally be able to resolve it. Understood?"

"Yes!"

All present replied affirmatively.

Qi Chuan also nodded slightly, blending in.

"Jin Wuchen’s arrangement is quite reasonable; although the other three sides of the Broken Spirit Mountain Range make it difficult for the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon to escape, there must be other precautions in place. Along with him personally guarding the south, it indeed makes escaping difficult for the dragon."

"However, Ji Feng previously lied at the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect."

"Though Jin Wuchen is prideful, it’s not that he’s disdainful of discussing with the Three Sects, but he’s tied to guarding the south personally and can’t leave, thus sending Ji Feng."

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

"Alright, bring out your Treasure-Seeking Mice, so Senior Brother Jin and I can inspect them."

At this moment, Ji Feng spoke again.

The four naturally summoned their Treasure-Seeking Mice for Ji Feng’s inspection.

After Ji Feng checked, the indifferent Jin Wuchen also personally inspected, taking no chances in this aspect.

When it was Qi Chuan’s Treasure-Seeking Mouse’s turn, Qingyun True Monarch felt slightly tense.

However, he was relieved when he saw Jin Wuchen merely checking it back and forth before returning it to Qi Chuan.

"The Broken Spirit Mountain Range is large. Besides the south, I’ve divided it into five areas. The five of us will split and search our respective areas, slowly approaching the south."

"This way, even if we don’t find the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon, we can drive it south, where it will trap itself in Senior Brother Jin’s net."

Ji Feng instructed again.

Qi Chuan and the others nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the group exchanged a bit, finalizing some details, then Ji Feng waved his hand, commanding, "Let’s depart! Everyone please do your best; whoever discovers the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon and contributes will receive another Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast Core."

"Yes!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Five streaks of Escape Light in different colors rapidly shot out, heading in five different directions, deep into the Broken Spirit Mountain Range.

Qi Chuan’s azure Escape Light mixed with them, heading directly northward, its speed quite quick, yet insignificant among the five lights.

On a giant rock, Jin Wuchen stood with arms crossed, lifting his gaze, watching as the five different Escape Lights dispersed, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Five Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, one Quasi-Great True Monarch, this lineup sure honors you..."

"Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon, let’s see where you run this time?"
