Chapter 360: Sudden Dangerous Situation!

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy made it as if she accidentally bumped her hand on Elder Yang's hand and left the tracking mark on his hand.

Elder Yang immediately realized the sudden strange move of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but he did not think too much about it and teasing her instead because of it.

.....

...

.

Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue finally managed to spot Ye Zhen from afar after a few hours of searching all around the place in Imperial Palace.

Ye Zhen was currently escorting the Crown Prince along with several other Core Disciples of Immortal Sword Sect.

Yes, you did not hear or read it wrong... they were really currently escorting the Crown Prince!

The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N?v3l--Biin.

It was a really hair-raising matter, but neither Tang Li Xue nor Ye Zhen and the other people knew that the Crown Prince actually had already died since last night.

Tang Li Xue immediately waved her palm on her face and used her [Energy Manipulation] divine ability to create a similar fox mask with the one that her perfect copy wore to cover her face.

After making sure that her foxtail and fox ears were well covered by the grey-colored blanket like wearing a cloak and hood for a few moments, it was only then Tang Li Xue decided to approach Ye Zhen's group.

Tang Li Xue canceled her [Ethereal Form] so everyone could see clearly her figure again before she ran toward Ye Zhen and his group.

But suddenly, an enormous pressure pressed onto Tang Li Xue's body without any warning, made her could not move and suffocating.

Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth to withstand it but the enormous pressure kept pressing her body with the intention to crush her into a bloody pulp.

'Damn it! Who the hell dare to attack me so suddenly in the Imperial Palace's ground?!' Tang Li Xue thought angrily as her mind started to think fast about how to get out of this perilous situation.

The figure of an old man wearing an elegant-looking purple robe suddenly flashed in front of Tang Li Xue.

That old man swiftly reached his hand toward Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue knew in an instant that this old man did not have any good intention toward her, so she immediately activated the equipment skill from the [Shadow Striders]: [Shadow Flash] to teleport toward the shadow near Ye Zhen.

From the old man's purple outfit, Tang Li Xue could already guess the real identity of this old man in an instant.

The elder of Immortal Sword Sect!

This old man must be the one tasked to protect the crown prince's safety from the serial killer!

"Young Master Ye, help me!" Tang Li Xue shouted to Ye Zhen in the hope for him to explain to the old man that she was not their enemy.

Ye Zhen turned around to look at the one called his name, and he was very surprised to find that Tang Li Xue already stood so near without him realizing it.

"Young Miss Xiao?!" Ye Zhen smiled and called back with a delighted tone.

Tang Li Xue ran swiftly to Ye Zhen and quickly hid behind him before the old man could attack her again like before.

Ye Zhen instantly realized why Tang Li Xue hid behind him when he saw the old man approached him.

Ye Zhen greeted the old man and explained: "Core Disciple Ye Zhen greets Elder Wu! I am sorry, Elder Wu, but Young Miss Xiao is my close friend. If she makes some troubles and offends you, then I will apologize to you in her place."

The old man frowned deeply. He felt really humiliated right now because a mere young girl like Tang Li Xue could escape from the grasp of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like him.

"Is she really your close friend?" The old man asked. He actually wanted to teach this little girl a lesson, but he did not want to offend Elder Yang's disciple because of it.

"That is right. She is also Elder Yang's friend." Ye Zhen said. He even deliberately mentioned his master's name, so Elder Wu could let go of his grievance to Tang Li Xue.

Just like what Ye Zhen had expected Elder Wu chose to retreat after he said Elder Yang's name.

"Oh, so this young miss is the friend of Disciple Ye and Elder Yang! Young miss, you might be Elder Yang's admirer and want to wear a mask to imitate him, but you better not do it in Imperial palace, especially when we are still under the threat of a hidden serial killer." Elder Wu warned Tang Li Xue before flashed and disappear from everyone's view again, just like before.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and thought: 'That was really close! I almost got killed by that old man! Nascent Soul Stage Expert is so scary!'

But Tang Li Xue could finally gauge her current strength compared to the human cultivator after this encounter.

She did not have any chance of winning if she was fighting one on one against Core Formation Stage Cultivator without any help.

She has a more or less forty percent chance of winning if she entered [Divine Possession Mode] with Yaya.

If she entered [War Goddess Mode] with Yaya and Phoenix of Pride, then she would have a high chance of winning!

But she would not even have any chance of winning against Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, even if she entered [War Goddess Mode] with Yaya and Phoenix of Pride!

Of course, this was only crude speculation because some genius rank of the human cultivators like Elder Yang could easily fight the people with much higher cultivation than themselves.

Moreover, after Elder Yang managed to obtain one of Seven Earthly Desire Spirits, Blood of Lust, his battle prowess soared again to an unimaginable level than before.

'I wonder if Instructor Mei Lan can win against Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in one on one battle?' Tang Li Xue curiously thought in her mind.

"Young Master Ye, thank you very much for your help! Sigh... I almost got killed in an instant by that elder before." Tang Li Xue said while smiled at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen's mouth twitched violently when he paid more attention to Tang Li Xue and watched her from the head to toe.

Now, he knew why Elder Wu suddenly attacked Tang Li Xue without any warning before... The problem was actually not only on her wearing a mask, wasn't it?!

Even Crown Prince Feng and the other core disciples kept staring at Tang Li Xue with strange gazes right now.

Not only she barefooted right now without wearing any shoes, but she also wore an oversized maid outfit and cover herself with a grey-colored blanket. (The length of outfit from more than 170cm tall maid was clearly too long for the 150cm Tang Li Xue, so anyone could see it from her feet.)

Tang Li Xue felt really embarrassed by their stares and quickly explained while blushed: "Uhh... I am sorry for my inappropriate appearance. I... accidentally fell into the pond before and drenched my clothes, so I have no other choice than to borrow the clothes from the maid and appear like this."

"Huh, really? I think you had just slept with a man and got your clothes stolen by someone, right?!" A girl from the core disciple's group mocked Tang Li Xue with a scornful tone while sneering scornfully.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue almost slipped and fell in surprise when she heard the girl's random mocking words.

'Are you a seer or something?! How could you guessed it so precisely?!' Tang Li Xue screamed in her mind.

Well, except that she was the one who stole it from the others in that situation...

Ye Zhen frowned in displeasure and rebuked her: "Junior Martial Sister Jian! That is not something that a girl like you should mention! Please maintain your image as the core disciple of Immortal Sword Sect in front of others!"

"Humph! So what?! Senior Martial Brother Ye! I just mentioned the truth in front of everyone, so no one will not get seduced by an immoral vixen like her!" Junior Martial Sister Jian shouted back at Ye Zhen in aggravation.

Tang Li Xue felt her heart almost jumped out of her throat when the girl called her a vixen.

'Girl... are you really sure that you are not a seer or diviner?! How the hell almost all of your words are correct?! Maybe I should really find a way to get rid of her before anyone realized her talent as a seer?' Tang Li Xue screamed again in her mind.

"Junior Martial Sister Jian! That is enough! If you still embarrass yourself like this, I will not let you follow me around anymore after this!" Ye Zhen said to his Junior Martial Sister with a cold and angry tone.

Junior Martial Sister Jian did not dare to say anything anymore. She could only gnash her teeth in anger and glared venomously at Tang Li Xue.

'Hey, hey, hey! I do not even say anything to you yet, right?! Why do you glare at me like that?! You should get angry at your Senior Brother Ye, not me!' Tang Li Xue thought, but she acted as if she did not notice Junior Martial Sister Jian and looked at Crown Prince Feng instead.

Crown Prince Feng immediately noticed that Tang Li Xue glanced at him, so he looked at Tang Li Xue too and nodded while smiling to greet her.

Even Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] divine ability failed to sense anything strange on Crown Prince Feng, but somehow Tang Li Xue could still perceive that Crown Prince Feng seemed to behave differently from yesterday.
