Four Extremes Twelve Gates, the Supreme's Perception
But Li Huaian was, after all, a prudent princess, and knew that now was not the time to dwell on who the other belonged to.
She walked past the dazed Xiao Yu, went straight to Ye Li who was about to return to his residence to rest, and whispered:
"General Ye, the Palace Master of the Northern Cang Cold Palace has sent a steward to visit, saying that he has information about the specific whereabouts of the Bone and Blood Cult."
As Ye Li glanced to the side, many sect leaders, along with the three prefects, subconsciously stepped back several feet, revealing the cold palace steward in a long robe.
"Xu Yan from the Northern Cang Cold Palace! Greetings, Your Excellency!"
The Cold Palace steward was startled and snapped out of his daze, bowing respectfully to the unfamiliar powerful figure in front of him.
He frantically searched his mind for information about the person in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Three Mountain Gate leaders of the Venerable level, who would be treated with utmost respect even in the Northern Cang Cold Palace, have died here so easily?
Furthermore, none of the prefects had any objections to this; could it be that the Capital City had dispatched Southern Territory governor to purge the powerful families?
In that case, it would be best for the Northern Cang Cold Palace to be on high alert as soon as possible...
Feeling the immense pressure emanating from the other party, Xu Yan even became cautious in his breathing.
Ye Li casually subdued the previous few souls, his gaze sweeping over the man:
"Come in and talk."
Upon hearing this, the numerous sect leaders outside the hall, who had been in shock, were finally relieved as if they had been granted a pardon!
"... Your Highness."
Xiao Yu barely came to her senses, and with an extremely complicated expression, she cupped her hands towards Li Huaian and said:
"I'll stay here for now and reorganize these Mountain Gate leaders. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."
"Very well." Considering that these high-level cultivators were indeed greatly frightened, Li Huaian nodded slightly.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As a fellow high-level cultivator, she also really needed time to rest and recharge...
Soon, Ye Li was the first to leave.
The three prefects immediately escorted Xu Yan, whose face had turned somewhat pale, and quickly moved him to the council hall of a nearby, still intact official residence.
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the atmosphere here is much more peaceful.
"..."
The three prefects barely maintained their composure, appearing fairly calm, but in reality, they dared not even exchange a glance with Ye Li, who sat in the main seat.
Clearly, their opinion of Ye Li has changed from initially viewing him as "no ordinary person" to now considering him "an absolute pillar of support."
Xu Yan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the pounding in his heart and the urge to go weak in the knees. He took out a Jade Slip that exuded a chilling aura from his storage Magic Treasure and respectfully presented it with both hands.
"Please look, sir." His voice trembled slightly.
"Through our Palace Master's tireless deductions and investigations day and night, we have finally pinpointed the approximate hiding place of the Bone and Blood Cult within the territory of the Yunze Continent!"
With a flick of his finger, the Jade Slip floated in the air, projecting a detailed map of the Yunze Continent composed of light.
On the map, over a hundred cities are marked with faint red circles.
This is clearly the approximate hiding area.
Xu Yan pointed to the outlines of several cities circled in particularly deep red and said:
"Based on his deductions, these cities are the most suspicious! The true main force of the Bone and Blood Cult is very likely hiding here!"
The moment the map unfolded, Ye Li's gaze narrowed almost imperceptibly for a second.
There was no other reason than that the specially marked outline of the city was basically consistent with the results of his previous inspection while holding the Mountain River Seal.
Tang Xiao, the prefect of the Yunze Continent, reacted even more strongly.
In his haste, he even subconsciously glanced at Ye Li in the main seat, but quickly looked at his colleague beside him after realizing what was happening, a strong look of joy appearing in his eyes!
Both the terrifyingly powerful Capital City from the capital and the Cold Palace Supreme with an immortal rank gave similar answers to this matter!
What does that mean?
This means that the credibility of this intelligence is extremely high!
"Thank you for your trouble, Palace Master."
After Ye Li nodded in agreement, Tang Xiao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This deduction must have taken a lot of effort. If it is verified to be effective afterward, Yunze Continent will definitely reward you handsomely!"
The other two prefects nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere finally eased slightly.
"Prefect Tang, you flatter me." Xu Yan, feeling somewhat relieved, bowed and said:
"Now that the message has been delivered, I shall take my leave. The Cold Palace is in a special location, and I need to return to the palace as soon as possible to report back."
"Thank you for your trouble, Steward Xu." Li Huaian nodded slightly.
Xu Yan dared not linger. He bowed to Ye Li again, then quickly retreated from the council hall, his legs feeling weak.
Watching his figure gradually disappear.
Tang Xiao visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her tone tinged with a hint of relief:
"Lord Ye, the result of the Cold Palace Supreme's deduction coincides with your judgment. It seems that this matter is almost certain."
"Next, all we need to do is mobilize a large force, and these Mountain Gate leaders who are willing to be deployed..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a calm voice.
Ye Li picked up the cup of Spirit Tea beside him, his fingertips tracing the warm rim of the cup, his gaze still fixed on the floating map, as if asking casually:
"Is this Supreme Being of the Northern Cang Cold Palace known for his Art of Deduction?"
Those who possess Golden Soul have perception far superior to those of the same level, and are even inferior to cultivators of higher levels.
This supreme being of the Northern Cang Cold Palace was able to pinpoint such detailed location coordinates without even using the Mountain River Seal for inspection.
While there might be differences in the timing of reconnaissance, it was still surprising enough.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and replied respectfully:
"The Palace Master of the Northern Cang Cold Palace is known for his skill in battle, and his ice-attribute Divine Ability are renowned Southern Territory."
"As for the methods of divination and fortune-telling..."
He paused, as if recalling something, then shook his head firmly. "To the best of my knowledge, it is not the Palace Master's forte, nor are there any renowned elders in the palace who specialize in this field."
"The fact that the Supreme Being was able to pinpoint the movements of the Bone and Blood Cult this time must be due to his domineering perception ability; it is truly remarkable."
"My lord... is there something you're worried about?"
"Nothing."
Faced with Tang Xiao's incredibly nervous gaze.
Ye Li put down his teacup and said calmly, "Let's proceed as you have suggested for now."
He didn't have the habit of making assumptions out of thin air, and the previous steward of the Cold Palace hadn't shown anything unusual.
Therefore, either the Palace Master of the Northern Cang Cold Palace does indeed possess extraordinary abilities and is skilled at tracking down criminals and capturing enemies.
Or perhaps even the palace steward who came to report the news wasn't informed of the specific details by his own Palace Master.
Neither of these can be determined by guessing.
It's better to proceed according to our own ideas for now.
Of course, before that.
He also needed to check on the upgrade progress of his own Three-Hour Divine Fire.
