Martial Master

As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the arena became heavy.

With the death of Feng Yulei, the Xuanyuan Empire would definitely not let it go easily. Once the news leaked, they would all be in danger.

“Hmph, it was Feng Yulei who attacked first. What right does the Xuanyuan Empire have to target us?” You Qianxue snorted coldly. Ji Rumoon shook her head: “You don’t understand the tyranny of the Xuanyuan Empire. Right now on the continent, apart from the Piao Miao Palace, the Xuanyuan Empire is the most domineering. It’s fine for us, as we come from the Law Enforcement Hall, but Qin Chen is only a disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion, and he’s just a disciple selected from the lower four domains…”

As she said this, Ji Rumoon let out a slight sigh. Although she didn’t say it directly, her meaning was very clear: Qin Chen’s status in the Alchemy Pavilion was too low. If he were a scion of some major force in the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion, he might be able to leverage the pavilion’s background to navigate the situation, but Qin Chen was merely a disciple from the lower four domains. If things escalated, it was very likely that the Alchemy Pavilion would sacrifice him to protect their own.

Thinking of this, Ji Rumoon’s expression softened as she looked at Qin Chen. Although this guy was annoying and had a terrible way of speaking, no matter what, he had taken a huge risk to kill the prince of the Xuanyuan Empire to save her.

She considered what would happen if someone from another force encountered such a situation; they would probably not dare to attack someone from the Xuanyuan Empire at all. After all, not everyone had the courage to go after Feng Shaoyu.

“Qin Chen, thank you,” Chen Sisi also spoke, her tone heavy. After Feng Yulei's death, she had wanted to save Elder Meiying, but Elder Meiying ultimately could not hold on any longer. Now, apart from her, all the others in the Illusory Demon Sect had fallen, and her inner disappointment was evident.

But she also knew that the one facing the most pressure was still Qin Chen.

“As long as you all don’t leak this, there’s nothing to worry about. Who will know that I killed Feng Yulei?” Qin Chen said nonchalantly.

“Qin Chen, don’t be careless. Didn’t you see that the Martial Emperor’s will of Xuanyuan Daodi has already descended? Xuanyuan Daodi’s Martial Emperor will has seen you, and will definitely learn some information. When the time comes, with Xuanyuan Daodi’s methods, finding you among all the geniuses won’t be difficult at all,” Ji Rumoon said seriously.

She was the one who understood the terror of Xuanyuan Daodi most among them. That was a being so formidable that even their Ji family’s ancestor spoke of him with great caution. He was the top expert in the Martial Domain, someone no one could ignore.

“Alright, alright, I get it. As long as you don’t spread the word, there’s nothing else to worry about,” Qin Chen said, unwilling to continue discussing this topic. He turned and walked toward the spatial pool amid the ruins.

Ji Rumoon was so furious she felt like exploding. This Qin Chen treated her good intentions like they were worthless; he was truly infuriating.

Whoosh!

She stepped in front of Qin Chen, blocking his path and said sternly, “Qin Chen, listen to me… I’m not joking…”

“Why are you so concerned about me? Could it be that because I saved you just now, you’ve fallen for me?” Qin Chen said in surprise.

“Fall for you, my foot!”

Ji Rumoon was so angry that she nearly wanted to slap Qin Chen in half, and she stood to the side, fuming and refusing to speak.

There was simply no point in talking to this guy.

“Chen Shao, Rumoon is also doing this for your own good,” You Qianxue stepped forward and said, her expression showing some worry and tension.

Xuanyuan Daodi was a name that made people’s hearts race just to hear it.

“Since the deed is done, what can we do? The only thing we can do now is to improve our own strength. Only by becoming stronger ourselves is what matters most. As for everything else, we can only take it one step at a time,” Qin Chen said with a smile.
