"This old witch!"
Qin Chen was frustrated. He didn't dare to leave hastily because if he got discovered, it would be difficult to evade capture. Under the surveillance of Shangguan Gufeng, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be noticed if he entered the "Qian Kun Creation Jade Disc" again.
What should he do?
In three days, Qin Chen had pulled out quite a bit of his hair. He initially wanted to treat Fu Qiankun, but after checking, he reluctantly gave up. Fu Qiankun's injuries were too severe, and treating them wasn't easy; it required too much time. Moreover, Fu Qiankun still harbored hostility towards him, silently recovering on his own, unwilling to say much.
In this situation, Qin Chen couldn't spend too much time focusing on Fu Qiankun; leaving here was the priority.
"How can I leave without being detected?" Qin Chen murmured. The entire Piao Miao Palace's formations were activated, and powerful individuals patrolled everywhere, making it extremely difficult to leave unnoticed. Qin Chen faced two major challenges.
The first issue was the formations. To leave, he needed to break through the Piao Miao Palace's formations. Although the basic formations were set up by him in the past, thoroughly breaking them still required some time.
Although this time wasn't long, it'd at least take half an incense stick. To experts, every second counts, and life or death can be decided in a moment, so Qin Chen kept looking for such an opportunity.
The second issue was the probing from Shangguan Gufeng and the Demon Tribe experts. The entire Piao Miao Palace was continuously swept by terrifying soul forces and mental powers. Shangguan Gufeng and Ye Moshi were frantically searching, and this had been ongoing for days without a moment's pause. If Qin Chen went out, he would likely be discovered and encircled in an instant.
Therefore, there was only one chance; it couldn't be wasted lightly. "If the big black cat were here, it might have some ideas," Qin Chen sighed, but thinking about this now was pointless.
Bound by these two conditions, Qin Chen hadn't found a suitable way to leave. "Young Master Chen, have you found a way?" At this moment, You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue approached, full of concern. "Not yet," Qin Chen shook his head.
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue, one on the left and one on the right, gently held Qin Chen's hands, "Young Master Chen, we'll definitely think of a way."
Qin Chen smiled. Though he wasn't fully confident, he appreciated Qianxue and Ruyue's concern. He vowed in his heart that, for Qianxue and Ruyue, he would find a way to leave.
"In ten days, if there's no other way, we'll have to force our way out," Qin Chen glanced at Lao Yuan. In fact, he wasn't completely without options. If Lao Yuan helped, there was at least a forty percent chance of success in forcing their way out. However, this would expose Lao Yuan, and the consequences would be severe.
Unless absolutely necessary, Qin Chen wouldn't let Lao Yuan act. He set a ten-day limit for himself. By then, Shangguan Xier should be returning. If he couldn't find a way out in ten days, they'd have no choice but to force their way out.
"Sigh, it's a pity Fu Qiankun doesn't trust us and keeps silent, coupled with his severe injuries. If we had some top-grade elixirs to help him recover, having an additional expert would definitely increase our chances of breaking out," You Qianxue said wistfully.
"Indeed, it's a pity we don't have any top-grade elixirs. If we could find some now, it would be great," Ji Ruyue also sighed.
The former President of the Bloodline Holy Land was undoubtedly a top-level combat power, but his injuries were too severe. Regular elixirs couldn't treat him—only the continent's top-grade elixirs might have some effect.
But how could Qin Chen and his group carry such elixirs with them? The two sighed softly, and Qin Chen suddenly froze.
"Young Master Chen, what's wrong?" You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue were puzzled, looking at him curiously. "What did you two just say?" Qin Chen turned around, his eyes glimmering with a hint of light.
