Martial Master

That iron bull, an outsider, actually wishes to receive the same cultivation. This thought is truly naive.

After Xu Dongsheng entered, the others naturally were unwilling to show weakness. After expressing their gratitude to the Great Elder, they all walked in one after another.

Only Qin Chen stood at the doorway, his expression somewhat unpleasant. "What to do? How to escape?" Qin Chen was extremely anxious; numerous powerful individuals were watching him, including the Great Elder and the decayed Demon Lord, both of whom were late-stage Martial Gods. Moreover, Qin Chen vaguely felt that the old ancestor of the Ji family was likely observing him in secret. Even if he unleashed all his power, it would be challenging to escape.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Qin Chen desperately looked for an opportunity to flee, but after thinking it over, he realized there was simply no way out; it seemed like a dead end.

"What's wrong, little brother Iron Bull? Aren't you here to meet Ru Yue? Once the baptism is over, I will take you to meet her. Why haven't you gone in yet?" The Great Elder asked with a smile, looking at Qin Chen with confusion.

"Well... Great Elder, I just feel that the aura inside this stone chamber is very uncomfortable," Qin Chen said, increasingly feeling the Great Elder's cunning. The Great Elder clearly knew it was a trap, yet still deceived him.

"Uncomfortable? Little brother, you aren't getting sick, are you? Why don't I take a look to see if there's anything wrong with your body?" The decayed Demon Lord stepped forward, speaking sinisterly.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it might just be a psychological effect." Qin Chen forced a smile, but inside he was filled with anger and anxiety. He certainly couldn't let the decayed Demon Lord casually probe him; who knew what it might uncover.

"It seems there's no choice but to go in; I'll have to adapt to the situation," Qin Chen secretly gritted his teeth, but smiled as he said, "Since that's the case, I will go in first."

After speaking, he stepped into the stone chamber.

Boom!

As Qin Chen walked in, the stone chamber's door suddenly fell, sealing it completely. "Hmph, this kid's intuition is really sharp; no wonder he came out from the Blood Drop Mountain Range." The benevolent smile on the decayed Demon Lord's face instantly vanished, turning cold and sinister. He then looked at the Great Elder, "Great Elder, you brought such a genius here; the old ancestor is very satisfied. However, no matter how satisfied he is, it cannot erase the fact that you let Ji Ru Yue escape. The old ancestor said that once they are enslaved, the entire ancestral land will be thoroughly investigated, leaving no stone unturned. If Ji Hongchen and Ji Ru Yue are found, please, Great Elder, don't act impulsively again."

The Great Elder's face turned somewhat unpleasant as he said, "Rest assured, I understand the bigger picture."

"That's good." The decayed Demon Lord sneered, showing no respect to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder felt a surge of anger in his heart but said nothing further.

As Qin Chen and the others entered the stone chamber, they saw that the entire place resembled an altar. The chamber was filled with strands of cold black aura, making it feel like walking through hell, causing a chill to rise on their bodies.

"This is the place for the baptism? Where's the baptism fluid?" Xu Dongsheng and the others looked around, puzzled.

Only Qin Chen's gaze fell upon the pitch-black altar in the center.

"Buzz!"

The altar emitted strands of black demonic energy, and a chilling force swiftly swept over everyone. They immediately felt dizzy, as if their bodies were about to be stripped away.

"Jie jie jie!"

At the same time, numerous sinister voices echoed in the void, demonic sounds piercing through the stone chamber, entering everyone's minds and causing unbearable pain.

"What is this place?"

The crowd began to scream in agony. If they still didn't realize that this was not a baptism site, they would be too foolish; foolish individuals could never cultivate to the level of Martial God. Qin Chen stood among the crowd, staring in shock at the altar before him. He had initially thought it would be like the Ancient Yu Realm, with some coffin-bound Demon Tribe members waiting to seize control, but upon entering, he found it was just this altar.
