Martial Master

What?

Everyone was taken aback. Master Muye of the Qi Hall had found the Spatial Crystal but was killed on the spot. Among those present was Long Xiucheng from the Long family?

Everyone immediately became interested, stunned by the developments.

This was big news.

In fact, it was quite normal for various forces to lose a disciple. Each time they ventured into the Ancient Yu Realm, there would be a loss rate of at least 10 to 20 percent and sometimes even more. This was just a common occurrence.

In the eyes of the various factions, fallen geniuses and strong warriors were not truly considered geniuses or strong; only those who survived were deemed worthy of training.

Thus, when the major forces discovered that some members of their teams were missing, it usually didn't lead to a big uproar. One reason was that the area was too vast, and not everyone could gather together. Secondly, even if someone had fallen, it didn't greatly concern them.

Take the deaths of Ling Jun and Ling Yi, for example; aside from Ling Yuannan being extremely furious, the other disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion felt little impact.

But the Qi Hall was different.

The Qi Hall was an extremely protective faction; the fall of any disciple would invoke immense rage and lead to significant action.

However, for a Martial Emperor to fall and for Elder Fei to be this furious… it seemed a bit excessive, right?

Moreover, Elder Fei had previously yelled at the people of the Xuanyuan Empire. Could it be that the Xuanyuan Empire was somehow related to Master Muye's death? It would be rather strange for the Qi Hall, known for its protectiveness, to offend the Xuanyuan Empire over a single Martial Emperor.

In the crowd, Qin Chen suddenly froze and touched his nose. He remembered that when he killed Long Xiucheng, there was indeed another Martial Emperor holding a Spirit Seeking Array Plate who was also killed by him, claiming to be a member of the Qi Hall. He said that if he was killed, the Qi Hall would surely seek revenge for him. Was that person Master Muye, as Elder Fei mentioned?

Combining this with Elder Fei's mention of the Spatial Crystal, Qin Chen realized that the person he killed must indeed be the so-called Master Muye. Elder Fei must have some means of detecting Master Muye's life force. After learning of Master Muye's demise, he immediately came to investigate, only to find traces related to the Long family, thus believing that a conflict arose due to the competition for the Spatial Pool.

As for the Xuanyuan Empire… there had indeed been strong warriors from that empire present at the time. Elder Fei must have assumed that Master Muye's death was linked to the Xuanyuan Empire, which was why he was so enraged.

Thinking of this, Qin Chen crossed his arms and watched with great interest.

Hehe!

It would be quite interesting for the Qi Hall to seek trouble with the Long family and the Xuanyuan Empire. Qin Chen smiled, secretly relieved that he was cautious at the time. As he left, he erased all traces related to them, and with Ji Ruyue and the others' innate abilities to blend into the void while cultivating in the Spatial Pool, covered by the rich spatial power, the other side would find it impossible to track them down.

"What? Master Muye is dead? And it’s related to Long Xiucheng?" Long Zhentian finally understood why Elder Fei was so furious, and he was instantly shocked. He had vaguely heard from Long Xiucheng that Master Muye was the illegitimate son of a big figure in the Qi Hall. On the surface, he held a low status there, but in reality, he was highly favored. Long Xiucheng had deliberately befriended him to gain his trust, hoping to establish a good relationship with the Qi Hall for future benefits. If they had really acquired a large amount of Spatial Crystals, Long Xiucheng would surely share some of the benefits with Master Muye; it was unlikely they would fall out over such trivial gains, which did not align with the interests of the Long family. Although Long Xiucheng had a bad temper, he was not someone short-sighted enough to do that.
