Martial Master

Including the Blood Hand King, everyone felt both respect and fear towards Qin Chen.

However, at the same time, deep down, he was somewhat looking forward to Qin Chen's fall during the pursuit. If that happened, he would regain his freedom.

Unfortunately, until now, he had not felt any change in the Soul Destruction Seal in his mind.

"You all needn't worry too much. With the Master’s strength, even if he is not the opponent of that Skeleton Helmsman, leaving shouldn't be too difficult," Blood Hand King smiled slightly.

"That's true. If he didn't have a trump card, Young Hero Qin probably wouldn't have pursued him," someone added.

"With Chen Shao's cultivation, it's not easy for others to kill him."

The group laughed, filled with confidence in Qin Chen, despite their concerns.

Even experts like Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang were easily slain by Qin Chen. The Skeleton Helmsman had already been heavily injured. Even if the higher-ups of the Blood Demon Sect had residual power, how terrifying could they really be?

As everyone waited, time gradually approached the moment of help.

Whoosh...

A sharp sound of breaking air echoed outside the ruins, followed by a streak of light appearing in the sky. In a flash, it landed in the desolate ruins.

"I’m back."

A wave of wind and thunder rippled through the ruins.

Li Xuanji and the others felt an invisible force spreading, causing a sense of instinctive fear and trembling deep within their hearts.

Everyone was shaken and looked towards the black-haired youth not far away.

"Chen Shao, you finally returned, thank goodness you're fine."

Liu Tai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, many in the ruins relaxed.

Such a genius, if lost, would be a huge loss for the entire Hundred Dynasties territory.

The people present had not expected Qin Chen to slay the Skeleton Helmsman. The fact that he returned safely was enough to surprise everyone.

Moreover, Qin Chen appeared not only uninjured but also exuded a powerful and imposing aura.

"Master, you finally returned. These days, I’ve been on edge," Blood Hand King said, appearing before Qin Chen with a flattering smile.

"Oh really?"

Qin Chen looked at him with a smile, believing that while others might be looking forward to his return, Blood Hand King was indeed somewhat doubtful.

As long as he died, the Soul Destruction Seal in the other party's mind would dissipate. Wouldn't anyone wish for his downfall?

"Of course! If I didn’t know where you were tracking that damned Skeleton Ghost, I would have rushed over immediately to help you solve your problems," Blood Hand King said eagerly, thumping his chest.

"You're really thoughtful," Qin Chen chuckled, glancing at Blood Hand King, raising an eyebrow: "No wonder you have such confidence; it turns out you broke through to the seventh stage's third level. Not bad, it seems you’ve won the favor of the ancient will!”

As he spoke, Blood Hand King chuckled, nearly grinning from ear to ear.

"Chen Shao, what exactly happened just now? Do you know?"

Seeing that Qin Chen seemed to have some understanding of what had occurred before, everyone hurriedly came forward to ask.

"Hehe, you all must have been possessed by quite a few powerful wills, making breakthroughs in martial arts, right? The powerful wills that entered everyone’s bodies were remnants left by many strong human warriors from ancient times who fought against the Demon Tribe in this Heaven Demon Secret Realm. I inadvertently released them, resulting in such anomalies."

"Ancient wills of human warriors fighting the Demon Tribe?"

"Did you really release them, Young Hero Qin?"

The crowd was shocked, staring wide-eyed.

Although they had previously guessed it might be related to Qin Chen, they were still astonished to hear the answer.

So, the breakthroughs they all experienced and the great benefits they received were all because of Qin Chen.

In an instant, everyone gazed at Qin Chen with complex expressions.

They had thought that Qin Chen pursuing the Skeleton Helmsman would likely end in failure, or at least he would suffer some minor losses.
