Martial Master

Kill... killed?

Zhuo Qingfeng and Nangong Li's eyes widened in shock, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Chen Shao previously mentioned that the one following them was a Martial Emperor expert, and yet they were killed?

How much time had passed since then?

Hiss!

The two took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe. If it were someone else, they would surely think the other was boasting, but since Qin Chen said so, it must be true.

"Chen Shao, which force was that person from?" Zhuo Qingfeng frowned and asked. Along the way, aside from offending the Law Enforcement Hall, it seemed they hadn't offended anyone else, right?

And if the Law Enforcement Hall wanted to deal with them, they would not have tracked them for so long. With the methods of the Law Enforcement Hall, capturing them would be an easy task; they wouldn't possibly send someone to die.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be an expert from the Demon Sword Sect."

"Demon Sword Sect? Why?" Zhuo Qingfeng and Nangong Li were surprised. Why would the people from the Demon Sword Sect want to kill them? Moreover, why track them for so long and come to the Tianluo Empire?

If the Demon Sword Sect was determined to kill them, they could have acted when they were at the Demon Sword City. With their strength, it was impossible for them to leave the Demon Sword City alive.

"Who knows!" Qin Chen sneered, "Maybe they think that if they act here, no one would know it was them. If they really attacked in the Demon Sword City, which genius would dare to go there in the future?"

"That makes sense." Zhuo Qingfeng realized, and then his eyes gradually turned cold as he said, "The Demon Sword Sect is truly despicable to use such means. Chen Shao, rest assured, even if the people from the Demon Sword Sect are arrogant, once we reach the Alchemy City, they won't dare to act."

Zhuo Qingfeng was full of confidence.

The Alchemy City was his stronghold. Although he hadn't returned to the Alchemy City for many years, with his master Xuan Yi Yaowang's status and his current strength, a small Demon Sword Sect wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

"Let's go." Qin Chen smiled indifferently. He didn't take the small Demon Sword Sect to heart; once he broke through to Martial Emperor, he could easily destroy them.

Of course, for now, he still couldn't be too ostentatious.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three transformed into streaks of light and swiftly flew towards the imperial city of the Tianluo Empire, disappearing into the horizon.

Demon Sword City.

In a certain grand hall deep within the Demon Sword Sect.

A disciple of the Demon Sword Sect was carefully cleaning the floor of the hall.

This was a forbidden area within the Demon Sword Sect. In the main hall, there was an offering platform that held five plaques.

These five plaques were engraved with complex runes, exuding a strong aura of sword law.

This place was the storage site for the life tablets of the Demon Sword Sect.

Life tablets are a means for major sects to understand the life and death of their masters by preserving the essence blood of powerful individuals to determine if they have fallen.

Once a martial artist falls, the essence blood preserved in the life tablet will lose its connection, causing the tablet to shatter.

The five life tablets enshrined here belonged to the five Martial Emperor experts of the Demon Sword Sect.

This included the sect's ancestor, Fengyun Sword Emperor, the sect master Yan Shijiu, the Grand Elder Xufeng Martial Emperor, and two hidden Supreme Elders of the sect.

As for someone like Leng Xingfeng, he did not have a life tablet made.

This was not because Leng Xingfeng lacked qualification, but because the cost of making a life tablet was immense, and there were requirements on cultivation level. Only Martial Emperor-level experts could have life tablets made, as their vitality was exceptionally strong, allowing their essence blood to maintain a connection with the tablet.

Someone like Leng Xingfeng, a Martial King, even if a life tablet was made, would not be powerful enough; if he entered a certain secret realm or left the Demon Sword Sect too far, the essence blood in the tablet would lose its connection, causing the tablet to shatter.
