“Up ahead?”
“That's right, the mountain range up ahead is where the ruins are located. However, this is the only ruin I know of. I can't be certain if the people you mentioned are in this ruin.”
The big black cat flew ahead, speaking as its eyes darted around. However, Qin Chen, flying behind, could not see anything.
The three of them quickly approached the black mountain range.
Just as they were about to get closer.
“Who goes there?”
The big black cat suddenly looked down at a dirt mound.
“Come out!”
The Blood Hand King followed the big black cat's gaze, and with a fierce slap of his palm, he smashed down, causing the dirt mound to explode!
Whoosh!
As the dirt mound burst open, a figure shot out from the ground, swaying and preparing to flee into the distance.
“There's really someone hiding here, come here!”
The Blood Hand King let out a sinister laugh, his figure flickering as a massive blood-colored hand appeared in the void, reaching directly for the fleeing figure.
Boom!
The blood surged, and that black figure, desperate to escape, appeared extremely insignificant under the Blood Hand King's grasp.
“Stop, Blood Hand King!”
Just as the figure was about to be caught by the Blood Hand King's overwhelming grasp, Qin Chen suddenly shouted, his figure flashing as he instantly appeared in front of the figure. With a clang, he drew the mysterious rusty sword, and a terrifying sword light imbued with thunder flashed across the sky, instantly cutting the Blood Hand King's attack in half.
Then, Qin Chen shook his long sword, blocking the black figure's escape and shouted, “Fu Xingcheng, it's me!”
“Chen... Chen Shao?”
The black figure halted its attack, staring blankly at Qin Chen, completely stunned.
The face revealed belonged to Fu Xingcheng, the principal of the Dawei Dynasty's Emperor Star Academy!
At this moment, Fu Xingcheng's aura had actually reached the mid-stage of the seventh level. Although it was not very stable, he was indeed a mid-stage Martial King.
“Chen Shao, what are you doing here? You... you broke through to the seventh level Martial King?”
Fu Xingcheng looked at Qin Chen in shock.
He remembered that when Qin Chen first entered, he was only at the late stage of the sixth level, right?
“It's a long story. How did you end up here?”
Qin Chen showed a puzzled expression.
After a moment, Qin Chen finally understood why Fu Xingcheng was here.
It turned out that when they entered the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, Fu Xingcheng and the others were not teleported together but had scattered apart.
Fu Xingcheng was lucky enough to discover a treasure land and devoted himself to hard training, spending more than half a month to finally break into the mid-stage of the seventh level.
When he came out, he accidentally encountered a disciple from the seven great dynasties and learned that Liu Tai and the others had already been captured by Ding Qianqiu from the Daqian Dynasty and had entered this terrifying ruin.
He tried every possible way to track them down to the location of this ruin, seeking to rescue Liu Tai and the others, only to find that the entrance to the ruins was guarded by the people from the seven great dynasties.
Thus, he hid here, also trying to figure out how to enter the ruins.
“Are you saying that the ruin those guys entered is truly here?” Upon hearing Fu Xingcheng's words, Qin Chen remained still, but the big black cat jumped up.
“What do you mean by 'truly here'?” Qin Chen frowned, looking at the big black cat. Did it think that Liu Tai and the others should not be here?
“This...”
The big black cat showed an awkward expression. Seeing Qin Chen's increasingly cold gaze, it immediately said, “Well, the ancient ruins I'm referring to are extremely hidden. Generally, no one would discover them, so…”
Qin Chen already understood. This big black cat brought them here but didn’t believe that Ding Qianqiu and the others could have found the same ruins, yet unexpectedly, it turned out to be the same.
