Martial Master

"You may rise. I don't want your allegiance; I just need you to lead the Ji family without forgetting your original intentions in the future," Qin Chen said with a smile.

The Ji family was also the family of his old friend back in the day, and Ru Yue was the person closest to him. Naturally, he wouldn't treat the Ji family like an ordinary one.

Dewei respectfully bowed again, "Dewei obeys the orders of Young Master Chen and will lead the Ji family, never forgetting our original intentions."

Regardless of Qin Chen's attitude towards him, from now on, he would only acknowledge Qin Chen.

"Young Master Chen..." Ji Dewei looked at Qin Chen, just about to ask about the next actions for the Ji family, when he suddenly saw Qin Chen look up towards the outskirts of the Ji family’s ancestral land, a smile appearing on his face, "You can get up first; our old friend has arrived."

"Old friend?" Ji Dewei was puzzled and quickly turned his head to look, but with his perception, he hadn't detected any anomalies.

In the distance, a figure emerged from the void, majestic and full of endless aura, resembling a god as it approached.

It was Fu Qiankun!

"What terrifying pressure," Ji Dewei was shocked, his face aghast as he looked at Fu Qiankun. Previously, he was only a late-stage Martial God, so he couldn't feel how terrifying Fu Qiankun was, but now, after breaking through to the peak Martial God, he deeply felt Fu Qiankun's fearsome power.

At this moment, Fu Qiankun, in his mind, was like a great sun, emitting endless pressure, as if it could suppress the universe for eternity.

How is this possible?

He had already broken through to the peak Martial God and could be considered an unparalleled top expert, but in front of Fu Qiankun, he felt a deep sense of suffocation. Just how strong had Fu Qiankun become?

Wasn't the peak Martial God supposed to be the pinnacle of martial arts? Why was there such a vast difference?

Ji Dewei's previously excited heart suddenly felt like it had been doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling down.

Fu Qiankun's appearance made him realize that breaking through to the peak Martial God might not mean he had reached the top of the continent. He might still be some distance away from being a truly top expert on the continent.

This was the disparity within the realm.

However, what shocked Ji Dewei even more was Qin Chen.

Young Master Chen had discovered Fu Qiankun's presence before he did, which clearly showed that Young Master Chen's perception abilities far exceeded his own as a peak Martial God.

"Brother Fu, you're back!" Fu Qiankun's figure flickered and suddenly appeared in the Ji family’s ancestral land. Qin Chen immediately smiled, showing no surprise.

"You already knew I would come back?" Fu Qiankun was instantly frustrated.

After leaving the Ji family, he quickly went to other parts of the martial domain, visiting several large cities to understand the changes over the past two hundred years in the martial domain.

Time brings great changes. Fu Qiankun hadn't expected that in just two hundred years, the martial domain would have changed so drastically. The Bloodline Holy Land was no longer the most supreme power on the continent, and now the highest was Piao Miao Palace, under which were terrifying forces like the Enforcement Hall, powerful and dreadful.

Moreover, the Xuanyuan Empire was actually the top power second only to Piao Miao Palace.

This realization shocked Fu Qiankun to the core.

Having been trapped for over two hundred years, he was well aware of Piao Miao Palace's terrifying nature, and behind Piao Miao Palace, there were the Demon Tribe people who had never given up on their desire to annihilate Tianwu Continent for countless millennia.

If he recklessly returned to the Bloodline Holy Land, it might be just as Qin Chen had said; not only would he not change anything, but he might also find it hard to escape death.

Over the past two hundred years, the structure of the Bloodline Holy Land had undergone significant changes. He didn't even know who was in charge now, or who were the undercover agents planted by Piao Miao Palace.
