Chapter 410: [409] Why Can't I Understand the Methods of Xuan Masters?

The Xuan Boat swiftly passed by, approaching the track.

Cold Tianya, the deputy palace master of the Red Armor Palace, with his extraordinary vision as a Xuan Master, naturally saw the towering giant tree in the distance.

With just a glance, his expression suddenly became strange.

Cold Tianya clearly saw that within the dense canopy of the giant tree, there was actually a considerably large oval-shaped treehouse.

His face twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Sure enough, no one can cause more trouble than the deputy palace master!"

It goes without saying.

This was definitely the handiwork of Deputy Palace Master Cheng.

Everyone knows that Cheng, the only genius in our Xuan Palace who serves as the deputy palace master as a Xuan Master, possesses an extremely rare and powerful wood spirit Xuan Seal.

A mere treehouse is no small feat for the deputy palace master.

Cold Tianya stared at the treehouse for several more glances, his expression becoming even more subtle.

His gaze passed through the window of the treehouse, vaguely discerning the tall figure of Deputy Palace Master Cheng.

Inside the treehouse, there were even a group of people dressed as chefs, seemingly busy cooking food on several metal grills.

Faint wisps of smoke rose from the top of the treehouse, only to be blown away by the airflow in the sky.

This strange scene.

Instantly, Cold Tianya felt a strong sense of confusion, not knowing what to say.

Could it be true?!

Did the deputy palace master create a giant tree and build a high-altitude treehouse at a height of over a hundred meters just to have a barbecue with a group of people?

Cold Tianya couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn, he really knows how to have fun!"

It's not just this Xuan Master.

The Xuan Master in charge of controlling the Xuan Boat was even more shocked, "Deputy Palace Master, it seems like someone is barbecuing on that giant tree!"

From the tone filled with astonishment, it could be heard that this Xuan Master had never even dreamed of encountering such a thing one day.

Cold Tianya coughed and reminded, "The deputy palace master is over there."

"What?!"

The Xuan Master in charge was dumbfounded.

Cold Tianya glanced at his subordinate and gave the order, "Land the Xuan Boat next to the track, and we'll fly over using the wind."

This was necessary respect.

If they ignored it and flew the Xuan Boat directly above the deputy palace master who was happily barbecuing on the giant tree, wouldn't that be causing trouble for the deputy palace master?

The Xuan Master in charge responded, "Understood!"

A dozen seconds later.

"Boom!"

Only a muffled sound was heard.

The bottom of the Xuan Boat touched the ground.

The cabin door opened.

Cold Tianya swiftly flew out, directly controlling the wind and gliding forward.

This Xuan Master was flying almost close to the ground, with the altitude controlled at around sixty meters, just slightly lower than the height of the treehouse.

The Xuan Master in charge followed closely behind, with a flying height of just over thirty meters.

All of this vividly illustrated what "strict hierarchy" meant.

On top of the giant tree.

Inside the treehouse.

The wind at high altitude was stronger than on the ground, giving a cooler feeling.

Cheng Han stood by a large window, his clothes fluttering, silently watching two figures in black robes approaching quickly, one after the other.

As they closed in to a distance of fifty meters.

The leading figure in the black robe, who was the Vice Palace Lord Leng, spoke and his voice reached Cheng Han: "Greetings, Vice Palace Lord!"

Leng Tianya's tone immediately changed, with a smiling tone: "Vice Palace Lord Cheng is in such a good mood!"

These two sentences may seem like mere pleasantries, but they carry significant meaning.

The first sentence is a formal greeting from a subordinate to a superior, while the second sentence deliberately adopts an intimate tone to express a submissive attitude.

Cheng Han understood the meaning behind the words and nodded in acknowledgement: "Vice Palace Lord Leng, please come in!"

He lightly waved his sleeve.

"Creak!"

The door to the treehouse opened.

Leng Tianya arrived on the wind and went straight into the doorway.

The attendant Xuan Shi followed closely behind and proactively closed the door.

Leng Tianya looked at Qian Qingqing and took the initiative to greet her: "Madam Qingqing, how are you?"

The young girl responded with a standard courtesy: "Vice Palace Lord, I'm well!"

As for the child Qian Changyun, who is currently an insignificant figure, everyone ignored him directly.

Leng Tianya took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I discovered a major incident at the Red Armor Hall earlier, so I came to check it out."

Cheng Han spoke truthfully: "There was a giant monster attempting to ambush the railcar earlier, and I killed it. The matter has been resolved."

Leng Tianya opened his mouth, his expression greatly shocked.

Although the Vice Palace Lord had already guessed something, hearing these words now still felt unbelievable.

The attendant Xuan Shi almost blurted out, "How is that possible?"

Fortunately, this person reacted quickly and forcibly swallowed the words about to come out.

Qian Qingqing watched this scene and secretly found it amusing.

Her fiancé always managed to surprise others with his actions.

Cheng Han casually explained, "The Divine City bestowed an item upon me, and it was with the help of this item that I was able to kill the monster."

The matter of the Divine City bestowing treasures was definitely known within the Xuan Palace. It was impossible to keep it a secret, so it was better to openly talk about it.

Leng Tianya restrained the shock in his heart and suddenly said, "So that's how it is!"

The attendant Xuan Shi was filled with envy in his heart and really wanted to ask, "What kind of treasure is so powerful?" But in the end, he didn't have the courage to ask.

To be honest, this Vice Palace Lord didn't believe in the so-called "luck."

Anyone who knew a little bit understood that no matter how powerful a profound artifact was, if it fell into the hands of a weak person, it would never be able to unleash its power, just like a small horse could never pull a big cart.

Only when strength matched the profound artifact could its true power be unleashed.

In other words, the true combat power of the Vice Palace Lord was probably far beyond that of a mid-level Xuan Shi.

Leng Tianya took a deep breath and sincerely praised, "Vice Palace Lord Cheng has displayed great power and eliminated a formidable enemy for the Tai'an Small Xuan Palace!"

Originally, this Xuan Shi had a faint sense of superiority towards the unbelievably young Vice Palace Lord.

So what if he held a high position?

In the end, his strength was inferior to mine!

Just a mere Xuan Shi, if he suddenly encountered a major crisis, there was a high probability that he would perish and all his glory and wealth would be lost.

At this moment, the sense of superiority hidden in Leng Tianya's heart quietly dissipated, leaving only a heart full of awe.

Cheng Han changed the topic: "By the way, since Vice Palace Lord Leng is here, I happen to have something to entrust to you."

Leng Tianya's attitude unconsciously became more respectful: "Please show me, Vice Palace Lord."

This young deputy palace master, with the identity of a profound scholar, was able to kill a monster stronger than a high-level profound master. He dare not be disrespectful.

Cheng Han was not polite and directly ordered, "There must be a mastermind behind this. I plan to use a secret technique to determine their location. Please assist in the pursuit, Vice Hall Master Leng."

Since the other party was willing to approach, he didn't mind giving some benefits.

Leng Wuya's expression became excited, "I dare not disobey!"

He knew very well that the deputy palace master intended to share some of the credit. Otherwise, if the other party had the ability to kill the giant monster, could they not deal with the mastermind behind it?

Cheng Han turned to his nephew and ordered, "Changyun, go and bring Yulan over."

Qian Changyun quickly replied, "Okay," and went to fetch her eagerly.

Soon.

Yulan was brought over.

Cheng Han asked gently, "How do you feel now?"

Yulan's attitude was extremely respectful, "Reporting to Deputy Palace Master, I previously felt occasional pain in my neck, but now it has completely disappeared."

Cheng Han nodded lightly.

From what he heard, he knew that this must be the bishop of the Prayer Society who had noticed something was amiss and temporarily interrupted the control of the parasitic puppets.

Leng Wuya glanced at Yulan, somewhat puzzled.

Cheng Han explained, "Miss Yu was secretly implanted with a parasitic puppet by the mastermind. I detected the anomaly in time and deduced that the monorail would be attacked."

This was an explanation of the cause and effect to the outside world, and it was also the most reasonable explanation. No one would think there was anything strange about it.

No one would have expected that this was actually a premeditated fishing operation.

Leng Wuya was taken aback, "Parasitic puppet?"

He couldn't help but say, "As far as I know, the parasitic puppet hides in the depths of consciousness. Only by using a specialized mental profound formation can we trace it back to its source."

"But the followers of the Divine Cult are very cautious. Once they sense that something is wrong, they will interrupt the control and quickly change their location."

In other words, they couldn't find it.

Cheng Han neither confirmed nor denied it, "Perhaps I have a way."

He not only had a way, but several ways. The All-Knowing Eye was one of them, and the Ten Thousand Marvelous Spirit Fig was another.

Just finding someone, what was so difficult about that?

Leng Wuya hesitated to speak.

Cheng Han looked at Yulan and smiled, "Extend your hand."

The beautiful girl obediently did as she was told.

Cheng Han extended a finger, and the vine pattern attached to his arm felt slightly cool. A faint green light quickly condensed at his fingertip.

Yulan widened her eyes, filled with astonishment.

Cheng Han gently moved his right hand, and the green light flew out and hit the palm of the beautiful girl's hand.

"Ah!"

Yulan only felt a coolness in her palm, followed by a numbness that spread throughout her body, involuntarily letting out a cry.

The next second.

An anomaly occurred.

"Buzz!"

The entire giant tree trembled out of thin air.

The people in the tree house were immediately startled.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the tree shaking?"

Qian Qingqing immediately reassured everyone, "There's no need to worry, everyone. This is the deputy palace master using a secret technique."

The commotion quickly subsided.

Curious eyes locked onto this side.

A few seconds later.

Yulan Yu's eyes widened in astonishment, and she blurted out, "I feel like the giant tree is calling me."

She didn't know that this was the extraordinary power of the earth system within the giant tree, as well as the power of the giant earth-devouring worm. In a mysterious way, it resonated with her.

Leng Wuya glanced at the giant tree outside the window, looking confused.

What kind of method is this?

Why am I a profound master, but I can't understand the profound techniques of a profound scholar?

Cheng Han smiled and said, "You can respond to the call of this tree."

Yulan Yu was puzzled, "How do I respond?"

Cheng Han's smile deepened, "Use the power of your mind to tell the giant tree that there is someone who wants to kill you and that you want to find that person."

Yulan Yu said, "Oh," closed her eyes, and began to respond.

Cheng Han quietly waited.

To expose the mastermind, two important elements are necessary.

First, there must be a close connection.

Second, there must be strong belief, only then can the power of the giant tree be aroused.

Yulan Yu is the victim, which is the best close connection, and she also has deep hatred for the other party, making her the best candidate.

Leng Wuya became even more incredulous.

Just with an ordinary person, can we find the mastermind? This is impossible, right?

At this moment.

No one spoke.

Only the summer breeze brushed by.

After a full minute.

Yulan Yu suddenly opened her eyes, with a look of joy on her face, "The giant tree responded to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

A grand scene appeared.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

The giant tree suddenly shook a few times.

Every thorny branch emitted gray-green light spots.

The giant tree had tens of thousands of branches, and tens of thousands of light spots quickly floated over, instantly forming a green cloud that completely enveloped Yulan Yu's graceful figure.

Yulan Yu trembled all over and shouted, "I found it!"

At the same time.

This girl quickly extended one hand and pointed to the northeast, "He's over there!"

The "he" in this sentence undoubtedly refers to the mastermind.

In an instant.

A slender green thread suddenly shot out from Yulan Yu's fingertips, and with lightning speed, it swiftly flew towards the northeast.

Leng Tianya also widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Could it be that they really found it?

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't really believe it, but based on the current situation, this woman didn't seem to be lying.

Cheng Han made a gesture and smiled, "Deputy Hall Master Leng, follow this green line, and you will find the mastermind."

Leng Tianya was decisive and straightforward, "Understood!"

He quickly saluted, soared into the air, and flew out of the treehouse.
