How is this possible?
She is a mid-stage Saint Master, the top powerhouse of the Guangcheng Palace. In fact, her cultivation has stayed at the mid-stage Saint Master level for many years, and she is just one step away from reaching the peak of the mid-stage.
It can be said that as the palace master of Guangcheng Palace, one of the five major forces in Guangyue Heaven, she is among the top powerhouses in Guangyue Heaven.
Yet, she is unable to see through Qin Chen's cultivation.
This is also the reason why she had long noticed the unusual activity here but remained deep within the palace to observe, not acting immediately. She was trying to probe into Qin Chen's strength, but unexpectedly, Qin Chen saw through her intentions at a glance.
At this moment, she was calculating Qin Chen's origins.
Such a master, with an extraordinary background, what could be his purpose for entering Guangcheng Palace?
Xu Xiong let out a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the palace master is willing to listen to his explanation, there is still a chance to remedy the situation. He hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Palace Master, I did not intentionally bring someone to cause trouble. This friend mentioned that he had once guided the Holy Maiden Xing Shuhui and has important matters to discuss with you. Since I saw that what he said was not false, I brought him in. As for the incident at the Immortal Pool, it was completely a misunderstanding."
"Hahaha, just a misunderstanding? Xu Xiong, you are also a mid-stage Saint Master and a Supreme Elder. Don’t you think this excuse is too ridiculous?" Zuo Rongtian sneered coldly. "This person claims he guided the Holy Maiden Xing Shuhui, but did he really guide her? The Holy Maiden is a direct disciple of the palace master, does she need guidance from outsiders? Nonsense."
"Palace Master, I did not just listen to what the other party said and believe it directly. I saw with my own eyes that my son Xu Zhijie is merely a mid-stage Heavenly Saint, and I have always been troubled that he could not break into the Overlord Realm. However, under this person's guidance, my son directly broke through the Overlord Realm. I am completely convinced, which is why I brought him into the palace. Such a high-level person, I believe he is not just speaking nonsense."
"What? Xu Zhijie achieved the Overlord Realm because of this person’s guidance?"
The palace master of Guangcheng Palace's gaze sharpened. Such a feat was not something she could easily accomplish.
Seeing that the palace master seemed to have some belief, Zuo Rongtian's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Palace Master, is there really someone who can help others break through the late Overlord Realm with just a snap of the fingers? Even if there is, it is likely that they have used some mysterious means. In my opinion, this person has ulterior motives for infiltrating our Guangcheng Palace. It is very likely that he intends to undermine the foundation of our Guangcheng Palace. I even suspect that he is a spy sent by the other four major forces, deliberately targeting us. I hope the palace master can see through this and allow me to take him down."
Zuo Rongtian said with rising anger.
"Ridiculous." Qin Chen sneered, glancing disdainfully at Zuo Rongtian, mocking, "Have you ever seen a spy who helps your Guangcheng Palace's Holy Maiden break through the Saint Master level?"
"Help the Holy Maiden break through the Saint Master? Hmph, where? I didn’t see it. I only saw you acting against our Guangcheng Palace's Immortal Pool. Perhaps because of your interference, the Holy Maiden Xing Shuhui has already gone mad. Palace Master..."
Zuo Rongtian coldly spoke, but before his words could finish, his expression suddenly changed.
Not only him, but all the powerhouses of Guangcheng Palace present were astonished and looked up in shock.
Boom!
They saw a terrifying pressure descending from the sky above Guangcheng Palace; rolling dark clouds surged, and a thunder tribulation was born.
