Awakened Ling Yuexian

Eight Star Dou Sheng?!

Ling Yi and Ling Yu stared wide-eyed in shock at Xiao Han, who had suddenly fallen silent. They were astonished that he possessed such strength!

Xiao Han remained silent for a long time, simply watching the smiling Spirit Race Clan Leader opposite him.

"Heh~"

Xiao Han sighed, "I never expected... that my strength would still be discovered."

"No wonder the patriarch of your Ancient Races would personally receive Five-Star Dou Sheng like me from a powerful force in the Central Plains," Xiao Han said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

"Indeed, the existence of Ancient Races is not to be underestimated."

"Dou Qi Perception..." Xiao Han remarked with a sigh, "What a useless yet terrifying ability!"

It's considered useless only because it's not very useful for combat or cultivation. What good is sensing the opponent's cultivation level if the difference in strength is too great? The outcome will never change.

Moreover, most of the powerful figures on the Fierce Qi Continent have similar methods to detect the cultivation level of others, except that the Spirit Clan's abilities are more powerful.

However, if one encounters someone like Xiao Han who intentionally conceals their strength, this ability will become the most terrifying weapon, and everything will be exposed.

For example, this time, Xiao Han's plan backfired.

"But..." Xiao Han looked at the two people in Ling Yi and asked curiously, "Why didn't they sense my cultivation level?"

After he finished speaking, both Ling Yi seemed a little embarrassed, especially Ling Yi, since Xiao Han had even fought with her and used his Dou Qi in front of her.

"They're just not skilled enough," Ling Yuexian said mercilessly, causing the two women to shrink back.

"This ability also requires training, and their strength and bloodline concentration are a bit lacking."

At this point, Ling Yuexian smiled.

"Moreover, Pavilion Master Su's caution is something I have never seen before in my life. He has actually been using his Heaven Realm Perfection level Soul Strength to conceal his cultivation level."

This means that as long as Xiao Han doesn't encounter Emperor Realm Soul and doesn't actively display his strength, then... no one will be able to probe his true cultivation level.

"I estimate that only I, with a Ninth Grade Bloodline, a soul at the Heaven Realm Late Stage, and strength closest to Pavilion Master Su, could barely achieve this in the entire Spirit Clan."

"Is this also your reason for dismissing everyone else and even 'stubbornly' allying with my Langya Pavilion?"

From the moment the other party revealed his true cultivation level, Xiao Han guessed the Spirit Race Clan Leader's intentions.

An Eight Star Dou Sheng) powerhouse is enough to bridge all the gaps between the Langya Pavilion and the Spirit Clan, creating the prerequisite for a true alliance.

"Indeed, I think Pavilion Master Su's courage to enter my Spirit Clan alone must stem from a strong confidence in his own cultivation!"

An Eight Star Dou Sheng is fully qualified to wreak havoc on the Spirit Clan and then leave gracefully, if the Spirit Clan truly harbors malicious intentions.

"What does Pavilion Master Su?" Ling Yuexian asked expectantly and nervously.

"What if I disagree with the alliance? Will the Spirit Clan spread the word about my true Pavilion Master level?" Xiao Han suddenly asked indifferently.

"Pavilion Master Su is joking. I still have my senses," Ling Yuexian said, shaking her head.

"If I were to reveal your cultivation level, I imagine my Spirit Clan would face even greater difficulties in the future!"

Ling Yuexian knew very well that Xiao Han's cultivation as an Eight Star Dou Sheng was too astonishing, and even if she told others, not everyone would necessarily believe it.

After all, you, a junior who is not even two hundred years old, have achieved what others have accomplished in nearly a thousand years or even a lifetime. How can one bear it?

It absolutely cannot be true.

Although there are exceptions, the last such exception was Xiao Xuan, who single-handedly dealt a heavy blow to the entire Soul Clan.

People tend to believe what they want to believe. Clearly, this is not the kind of news people want to believe.

Since Xiao Han chose to conceal his cultivation level, he must have his own plans, and his ambitions are definitely enormous.

If the Spirit Clan were to leak information about the other side, they would be blocking the other side's path, and could even be severely injured by the latter.

Making friends or making enemies—isn't that an easy choice to make?

"An alliance is impossible." After thinking for a long time, Xiao Han said slowly.

"Then I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Su. Let's just pretend I never said anything about this."

Although Ling Yuexian had expected it, she was still inevitably disappointed. However, she quickly recovered and said nonchalantly.

"But I can help the Spirit Clan preserve a bit of their bloodline and protect them as they grow up safely," Xiao Han then said.

"Oh?" Ling Yuexian's pupils shrank, and her fists clenched tightly.

Before she could speak, Grand Elder Ling Yu said unhappily, "What do you mean by that Ice Saint? Do you think my Spirit Clan Gathering perish?"

If Ling Yu hadn't known she was no match for her opponent, she would have already made a move.

Xiao Han's words were practically a direct statement that the Spirit Clan was doomed, so how could Ling Yu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Clan, possibly be friendly?

Ling Yi, who had a good first impression of Xiao Han, now looked rather unhappy.

"This isn't what I said, it's what the Spirit Clan told me," Xiao Han said innocently.

"Huh?" Ling Yi and Ling Yu also looked at Ling Yuexian in surprise. When did their clan leader mention this?

"Oh?" Ling Yuexian said calmly, "When did I ever say that my Spirit Clan was destined for destruction?"

"Your actions," Xiao Han said with certainty.

"I'd like to hear more details!"

Xiao Han organized his thoughts and then said:

"As the patriarch of Ancient Races, although your strength is far inferior to mine, since I have not revealed my cultivation level, you can simply pretend you don't know anything and let everything end naturally."

"If it's just about building good relations, the previous hospitality was enough."

"However, you unexpectedly accompanied me personally, pointed out my strength, and took the initiative to propose an alliance with my Langya Pavilion."

This rather humble attitude is hardly befitting the stature of a clan leader like yourself.

The Spirit Clan is Ancient Races, and they always have a sense of superiority when facing people of non- Ancient Races.

Unless there's a major event, they would never proactively propose an alliance.

"So... what did the Ice Saint see?" Ling Yuexian asked with great interest.

"You must have already sensed the impending calamity for the Spirit Clan, so you wanted to drag me, an Eight Star Dou Sheng, into this to resolve the potential crisis. Isn't that right?" Xiao Han stared directly at Ling Yuexian.

Ling Yi and Ling Yuexian also looked nervously at the Clan Leader, hoping to hear a negative answer from him.

"As expected of the Langya Pavilion Master, he is a person who can cultivate to the level of Eight Star Dou Sheng in such a short time and still thrive under the noses of many Ancient Races." Ling Yuexian clapped and praised.

They naturally agreed with Xiao Han's speculation.

"Clan leader, what's going on?" Ling Yi sat up in shock, asking with a look of horror in her eyes.

The fact that even the clan patriarch believed that a great calamity was about to befall their Spirit Clan, while the clan Elder were completely unaware of it, how could this not inspire fear?

"A great calamity is imminent, and there is no way to avoid it. As Elder of the Spirit Clan, how can you be so clumsy?" Ling Yuexian reprimanded with displeasure.

Immediately, Ling Yi fell silent, like a mouse before a cat. But her worried gaze remained completely undisguised.

"I think Pavilion Master Su has already guessed who our Spirit Clan's enemy is, hasn't he?"

Under normal circumstances, forming an alliance with the Spirit Clan is not a bad thing. After all, although Langya Pavilion has Xiao Han, an Eight Star Dou Sheng, apart from the Ice Saint, it is definitely much weaker than the Spirit Clan.

What made Xiao Han give up the temptation of forming an alliance was that the other party believed that his cultivation level of an Eight Star Dou Sheng was not enough to interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Clan.

Therefore, the truth is not difficult to deduce.
