Chapter 360 - 360: Reunion

"Alright," Long Chen replied.

Ji Shan took Long Chen to his room and left him there before he walked back to the Dining Hall.

"Did you meet your friend Wang Chen? Why was he here so late?" Jichuan asked as he glanced at Ji Shan.

"He needed something from me. It's done and he left," Ji Shan replied.

"You sure that it was Wang Chen and not Long Chen? It would be nice if it was Long Chen. You wouldn't have needed to try so hard to get to the Dark Soul Sect," Jichuan further said.

Ji Shan could feel that he was testing him.

"You can't imagine how glad I would be if it had been brother Long Chen, but don't worry. We will get the address of the Dark Soul Sect and we will definitely save him!" Ji Shan said in full determination.

"Hmm, I'm done. Excuse Me," Jichuan said as he left the Dining Hall.

He spread his Spiritual Sense throughout the Palace as he tried to see if things were normal.

His Spiritual Sense scanned through the whole palace. Starting from the Dining Hall. He saw guards, maids, cooks, and many more. He even saw some maids being involved in sexual activities with the guards, but that wasn't what he was looking for.

His Spiritual Sense got to the room of Prince Ji Shan and he saw something, but before he could get a clear idea as to what it was, it disappeared as if it was just his illusion.

"Strange," Jichuan muttered as a frown appeared on his forehead. He started walking towards the room of Prince Ji Shan.

***

Long Chen was simply sitting on the bed in Ji Shan's room. He was casually sitting there as he looked towards the door when he felt a spiritual sense cover him.

He instantly used the first skill of darkness, Shadow transformation as he disappeared. The Skill hid him in such a manner that even the Spiritual Sense of the Head Disciple of the Beast Hall wasn't able to sense him.

Long Chen canceled the skill only after he saw the Spiritual Sense disappear. He began using his Divine Sense as he scanned the whole palace.

"That guy? Was he the one using the Spiritual Sense? He is the strongest disciple amongst them, so he must be the captain," Long Chen muttered as he saw Jichuan coming towards the room.

"Should I kill him?" Long Chen muttered as he looked towards the door.

Long Chen retracted his Divine Sense. His Divine Sense was better than the Spiritual Sense of Jichuan and it was even further improved after he learned the law of darkness. Now he was able to use his divine sense without being caught, but there was still a risk of getting caught if he used his divine sense for too long or if the other cultivator had a cultivation that was 2 Major Realms higher than him.

"I should be able to kill him, but there's still Mingyu and Zhiqing here. If their elder goes crazy and creates a disturbance in the Palace and hurts them, it would be bad," Long Chen muttered as he fell in deep thought.

'Later. There's no need to kill them. We aren't enemies yet," Long Chen thought as he again used his divine sense.

When Jichuan got close to the door, Long Chen used Spiritual Transformation once again as he disappeared.

Jichuan tried opening the door, but it was locked from the outside.

He brought a key out of his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole as he unlocked the door.

This was the Key of Thousand Transformation. It was only a Spirit Grade artifact, but it was much more useful. It could transform into any shape of the key and open any lock. This was something his master had found from an ancient ruin. Since he didn't need it, he gave the Key of Thousand Transformation to Jichuan.

The door opened as Jichuan entered the room.

Jichuan carefully searched the whole room, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

"Was that really an illusion?" He muttered as he left the room and closed the door.

'Illusion? You haven't even seen a real illusion yet,' Long Chen thought as he looked towards the door.

He used his divine sense and only after he was sure that Jichuan left,
