Old Master Lei's True Strength
What?
The old hall master was a Peak Saint Ruler?
Upon hearing Little Qiuqiu's words, Qin Shaofeng's heart jumped in fright.
"Are you sure?" Qin Shaofeng secretly asked.
"Of course I'm sure!" Little Ball said proudly. "Do you think this lord's ability is weak? Let me tell you, this old man is not only a Peak Saint Ruler, he can even break through to the Saint Emperor Realm at any time. "
At this point, Qiuqiu's tone became perplexed again.
"But I don't know why, but this old man seems to be suppressing his breakthrough, forcefully keeping himself at the Peak Saint Ruler Realm and not breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm!"
How was that possible?
Not breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm and instead suppressing his own cultivation, what was going on?!
Qin Shaofeng's first reaction was disbelief, but in the next moment, he suddenly understood something.
This was not impossible!
The old hall master was probably suppressing his cultivation because of the Black Cloud Manor's Saint Emperor Hei Yun!
If the Saint Emperor Hei Yun knew that the old hall master had become a Saint Emperor expert, it would be even worse. Who knew what he would do to the Nine Cloud Hall?
Furthermore, the Saint Emperor Hei Yun was already at the Third Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm when he challenged the Nine Cloud Manor to become the Black Cloud Manor's Mansion Lord. Who knew what cultivation level he had reached now!
Under such circumstances, even if the old hall master had broken through, it would be dangerous.
Just as Qin Shaofeng was thinking about this, the old hall master who had been silently watching him finally spoke.
"Looks like you really do have a very unique sensing ability. You can sense my cultivation level!"
Eh?
This …
Qin Shaofeng's expression changed, and he immediately became alert. He never thought that the old hall master would find out. This made him feel very annoyed, and he began to complain to Little Ball.
"Damn, this is bad. A Small Thing like you, scaring me for no reason. Now that I've been found out, we're in big trouble!"
Qin Shaofeng guessed that even the other attendants of the Jun Family and Jun Haicheng did not know about the old hall master hiding his cultivation level.
Would he be silenced to keep his mouth shut?
This was a Peak Saint Ruler expert!
Qin Shaofeng was sure that the old hall master's true strength was comparable to a First Layer Saint Emperor expert.
If the old hall master attacked him, he would be done for.
Little Ball seemed to feel that he had made a mistake, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it, "Can you blame me for this? Who asked you to show some emotions? This is because your state of mind is not good enough. What does it have to do with me? "
The old hall chief seemed to have sensed Qin Shaofeng's vigilance towards him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, don't be nervous. You are Old Lei's disciple. Even if you discover my greatest secret, I will not do anything to you."
Hmm?
Old Lei?
Qin Shaofeng was slightly stunned. He suddenly had a guess, but he was not sure. He hesitated for a moment before softly asking.
"Um, Old Master, who is the Old Lei you speak of?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's Senior Lei Shi!" The old hall master smiled.
As expected!
Qin Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat.
This was too inconceivable.
The Senior Lei Shi that the old hall master spoke of was naturally the master that Qin Shaofeng had acknowledged in the Thousand Mountains Sect.
But looking at it now, Qin Shaofeng finally understood. That master of his did not seem to be simple either!
When Qiu Qiu first saw Elder Lei, Elder Lei was only a body condensed from his spirit root. Qiu Qiu Qiu could not sense the strength of his spirit root. Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiu could not even tell what cultivation Elder Lei had when he was at his peak.
After all, Old Lei did not have a body at that time. In the end, he was just an alternative form of existence maintained by spiritual power.
This was completely out of the range of humans. Even monsters and Demons did not have such a situation. Little Ball naturally could not sense what level of cultivation Old Lei had.
Seeing that Qin Shaofeng had reacted, the old hall master sighed, "Ever since that incident back then, I thought that I would never see Senior Lei again. I never expected that Senior Lei was still alive. This really surprised me. After all, even I thought that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long given his condition back then."
Hmm?
Qin Shaofeng felt that something was wrong. From the old hall master's words, it seemed that the old hall master had seen his master recently!
"Old Hall Master, could it be that you've met my master?" Qin Shaofeng asked.
"Yes! I saw him! Just a few days ago. "
The old hall master nodded, then said with a smile, "Otherwise, I would not be so assured about this assessment. Senior Lei said that with you around, there would definitely be no problem in this assessment!"
"Then where is my master now?" Qin Shaofeng asked excitedly.
Although he knew that Old Lei had evolved a body of thunder elements with the help of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Qin Shaofeng would only feel at ease if he could see it with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, the old hall master shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Lei has already left. Due to some matters, it is not suitable for Senior Lei to appear on the Source Mainland, especially in the territory of our Spiritual Abode. Therefore, he only met me once. Then, he saw that you seemed to be cultivating with Yun Xuan and the others, so he did not disturb you and left directly! "
He left!
Qin Shaofeng sighed softly in his heart, but he was relieved.
Because from the old hall master's words, Qin Shaofeng could also see that his master was definitely fine.
However, it was not suitable for him to appear in the territory of the Spiritual Abode?
Qin Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and could not help but ask the old hall master, "Old hall master, could it be that a hundred years ago, when our Nine Cloud Hall was still the Nine Cloud Mansion, my master also went to explore the secret ground?"
The old hall master was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Qin Shaofeng to think of this so quickly.
He could not help but praise Qin Shaofeng in his heart. Then, he sighed and said, "Sigh, you are really smart to be able to think of this. Indeed, during the previous exploration of the secret ground, Senior Lei also went, and I was also there. At that time, I was only in the Saint Monarch Realm."
The old hall master seemed to be immersed in his memories and began to talk about the situation back then.
"Back then, during that exploration, the Nine Cloud Mansion sent out many experts, led by five Saint Emperors, more than a dozen Saint Kings, and many Saint Monarchs. At that time, Senior Lei was at the peak of the Saint King Realm. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened in the end, and everyone died in the end!"
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in the old master's eyes, and there was also a trace of hatred that was engraved in his heart.
"The reason why I was able to keep my life was because Senior Lei suddenly advanced to the Saint King Realm at the last moment. At the cost of his body, he used a powerful secret technique to bring a few people away. It was a pity that even so, I was the only one who survived in the end. Senior Lei also became a weak existence with the power of his Spiritual Root."
So that was it!
Qin Shaofeng did not expect that the exploration of the secret ground a hundred years ago would have such a situation. However, now Qin Shaofeng also knew that his master's father was actually at the peak of the Saint King Realm.
No, to be precise, he was already a Saint King Realm expert.
This really made Qin Shaofeng feel very surprised!
However, what exactly happened back then?
Was it the Black Cloud Mansion's doing?
After asking his question, the old hall master looked at Qin Shaofeng with a trace of hesitation in his eyes. In the end, he shook his head and sighed.
"Sigh, what happened back then involved too many things. It's better if you don't know. I can only tell you now that the Black Cloud Saint Emperor is only an enemy of our Nine Clouds Mansion on the surface!"
What?
The Black Cloud Saint Emperor is only an enemy of our Nine Clouds Mansion on the surface?
Then …
Qin Shaofeng did not dare to imagine the situation after that because the news was too shocking.
If a Saint Emperor was only a chess piece, then wouldn't the existence behind him be even more terrifying?
Seeing Qin Shaofeng's grave expression, the old hall master regretted telling him this.
"Alright, you don't have to worry. I've already received news that Hong Kun was in secluded cultivation some time ago, so we lost contact with him. Now that he's done with his secluded cultivation, he's already asked his master to warn the Black Cloud Mansion. For now, our Nine Cloud Hall should be fine!"
The old hall master pondered for a moment, before he said to Qin Shaofeng, "If you can now, I hope that you can perform better in the upcoming Divine Dwelling Great Selection. That's right, let me tell you about the upcoming Divine Dwelling Great Selection …"
…
Two hours later, Qin Shaofeng left the old hall master's residence.
However, Qin Shaofeng's heart was not calm at all. He was completely relieved before the old hall master's words.
Even if Hong Kun's master appeared, our Nine Clouds Hall would only be fine for now?
Although he did not know what kind of position Hong Kun's master had in the Divine Dwelling, Qin Shaofeng was certain that he was not ordinary.
Even so, Nine Clouds Hall would only be fine for now?
Qin Shaofeng naturally knew what this meant.
The power of the person behind the Black Cloud Saint Emperor was probably not inferior to Hong Kun's master in the Divine Dwelling!
Of course, this was not necessarily the case. Hong Kun's master did not care much about Nine Clouds Hall and did not pay much attention to it.
However, Qin Shaofeng did not know why, but he felt that there was a very powerful enemy waiting for him to discover!
"Sigh, forget it. It's useless to think too much about it. I'll just focus on the Divine Dwelling Selection now!"
Qin Shaofeng shook his head and sighed. After returning to his residence, he began to prepare for the Divine Dwelling Selection.
The Nine Clouds Hall's preliminary selection had already ended. In nine days, Qin Shaofeng would head to the Black Tiger Hall to participate in the preliminary selection held by twelve of the thirty-six halls of the Black Cloud Mansion, including Nine Clouds Hall.
This time, twelve people would be chosen in the preliminary selection, and they would head to the Black Cloud Mansion to participate in the final selection before the Divine Dwelling Selection.
Qin Shaofeng's goal was to obtain first place in the preliminary selection and defeat all the opponents in the twelve halls.
However, Qin Shaofeng did not have much confidence in defeating a First Heaven True Saint.
