Martial Master

“What, is it an illusion?”

“Hahaha, I thought you had some insights! An illusion? You might as well say that we are just seeing things. Even the Pavilion Master Shangguan Lu couldn’t see this as an illusion, and you, a mere brat, can?”

Before Qin Chen could explain, Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang started sneering, their voices filled with mockery.

The other elders also frowned.

It wasn't that they didn't believe Qin Chen, but what Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang said made sense; if it was an illusion that Shangguan Lu couldn't see through, how could Qin Chen see it?

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Moreover, this illusion is filled with murderous intent. As soon as anyone enters, their soul will instantly be extinguished, and they will perish on the spot. Even a peak seventh-level Martial King wouldn’t be an exception.” Qin Chen continued, “What’s even more terrifying is that this illusion won’t inform you of all this. Once someone enters, this illusion will directly project the scenes onto your souls, and treasures may even appear. In other words, it will make everyone feel that those who entered before didn’t die, but instead had great opportunities, causing everyone to be eager to enter.”

Qin Chen explained.

At the same time, his heart was filled with fear, and cold sweat broke out all over him.

This illusion was arranged so intricately that he couldn't discern it for a moment. If it weren't for the big black cat reminding him, he might have been deceived by this illusion, and everyone would ultimately perish here.

Could it be that the bloody Demon Sect referred to this as a dead end?

It was not impossible!

“Alarmist talk.”

“Heh, utter nonsense.”

Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang continued to sneer.

Others also felt that what Qin Chen said was somewhat unrealistic.

Qin Chen coldly glanced at the two and sneered, “If you two don’t believe it, you can send someone in. Whining here doesn’t count as any skill.”

This remark immediately made Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang’s faces turn ugly.

“Brat, you think we can just let your people go in to explore? Originally, Liu Tai and the others were supposed to scout, but now you have disrupted it and are still spreading alarmist talk. In that case, we won't make it difficult for you. You have so many spirit insects on you; why not just send a few in to scout?”

“Exactly, if there’s danger, it’s just a few spirit insects that might die. They may not even perish since your spirit insects’ defensive power is so strong; those dangers should be targeting human martial artists and probably wouldn’t harm your spirit insects at all.”

“With this, everyone suffers no loss; wouldn’t that be great?”

Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang’s eyes lit up as they coldly laughed.

Once these words were spoken, it immediately garnered approval from the crowd. Clearly, sending someone in was impossible, but the spirit insects beside Qin Chen were different.

These spirit insects had astonishing defensive power, yet they weren't martial artists; even if a few fell, it wouldn’t matter at all, achieving two goals in one go.

“It’s impossible. I have already said that this small world before us is a deadly illusion. Why should I let my spirit insects go in to die?”

How could Qin Chen agree to such a condition? His devouring ants and fire refining insects had gone through numerous battles and dangers; those that survived were the elites among them. The loss of any one of them would be a huge setback.

“Hmph, this is already the best solution, yet you are unwilling to cooperate at all. We really suspect what your true intentions are.”

“I think this boy just wants to reap the benefits while we do the hard work.”

Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang sneered repeatedly. The looks the crowd cast at Qin Chen turned unfriendly; not only did Qin Chen ruin their exploration plan, but now he clearly had so many spirit insects that could scout without losing any personnel, yet he was unwilling to even try, wanting to stand back and take advantage instead. Was there really such a good thing in this world?
