Martial Master

Li Shang and Ding Qianqiu both had extremely ugly expressions.

They originally wanted to join forces to deal with Qin Chen, but at this moment, a hint of apprehension surged in their hearts.

That's right, they were not afraid of Qin Chen, and they even felt confident about killing Liu Tai and the others in front of him.

However, once the battle began, if Qin Chen simply ignored them and instead killed all the remaining Martial Kings from their two great dynasties, even if they were able to kill Qin Chen, what would be the use?

After all, those who were brought into the Demon Secret Realm by them were all top contenders from various dynasties, the most elite backbone forces. If they all died here, both their dynasties would surely suffer a heavy loss.

In the end, it would only benefit the other five great dynasties.

“Hmph, you little brat, are you threatening me?”

Boom!

A terrifying killing intent, like a great mountain, instantly pressed down on Qin Chen. Crack, crack, crack, that almost tangible killing intent filled the air with a brutal aura, causing some mid-stage Martial Kings to struggle to endure it and retreat in haste.

Despite his apprehension about Qin Chen potentially attacking his own Martial Kings, Li Shang was, after all, an ancestor of the Da Li Dynasty. How could he be so easily intimidated?

Moreover, given his status, he could not simply back down. Otherwise, how could he, a dignified ancestor of a top-ranking dynasty, be frightened by a young boy under twenty? If this were to get out, how would he face anyone?

"Hehe, I'm indeed threatening you; what can you do about it?"

In the face of Li Shang's threat, Qin Chen sneered disdainfully. Under the suppression of Li Shang's terrifying aura, he appeared relaxed and completely unfazed by the threat.

Li Shang trembled with anger; it was the first time he had suffered such a humiliation from a young boy.

"Are you three alright?"

Approaching Liu Tai and the others, Qin Chen quickly took out some healing elixirs and handed them to them, asking with concern.

“Chen Shao, we’re fine. It’s just that Xia Wuhong…”

After taking the elixirs, Liu Tai's injuries improved significantly, and his aura became vigorous.

His voice trembled, revealing sorrow on his face.

"What happened to Xia Wuhong?" Qin Chen asked.

This time, the five Martial King slots for the Da Wei Dynasty entering the Demon Secret Realm were Liu Tai, Liu Xuanrui, Mo Tianming, Fu Xingcheng, and Xia Wuhong.

Among them, Xia Wuhong was the ancestor of the Da Xia Dynasty and was considered the first to pledge allegiance to the Da Wei Dynasty. Qin Chen had met him a few times.

“Xia Wuhong has perished while scouting the way. We are still alive only due to good fortune," Liu Tai said sadly.

At this point, a cold light suddenly shot from Liu Tai’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, “We, the Da Wei Dynasty, will take revenge for this enmity sooner or later.”

Having gone through so much, the demeanor of Liu Tai and the others became steadier, as if they had undergone a transformation.

"Don't worry, even if it weren't for Xia Wuhong, I wouldn’t let Ding Qianqiu go, just not right now," Qin Chen said coldly.

Seeing Qin Chen healing Liu Tai and the others, Li Shang let out a sneer and said, "Alright, now everyone is back to square one. This kid has come here, and now there is no one to scout the way. What do you all suggest? Should we let our own people go scout? Who knows what traps lie within?"

At this, everyone was taken aback.

They had been watching the show earlier, but now they realized that if Liu Tai and the others didn’t go scout, there really was no one to do it.

One by one, their expressions turned ugly.

"Scout the way?" Qin Chen frowned.

Liu Tai and the others immediately recounted their experiences thus far, saying, "Just now, this palace had no exit, and later a strange world entrance appeared. But no one dared to risk entering, so they wanted us to go in and scout the way."

"World entrance? You all go with Zhuo Qingfeng; I'll go take a look," Qin Chen instructed Liu Tai and the others before walking towards the opened large door.
