Martial Master

Qin Chen's gaze darkened. This Shangguan Gufeng has a vicious heart. He coldly chuckled and said, “I've heard that Lord Shangguan comes from the Piao Miao Palace, the number one force in the continent. It truly has an imposing presence and extraordinary might. However, when it comes to hiding one's true identity, it seems that this person beside Lord Shangguan is also quite peculiar, not revealing his true appearance, right?”

Qin Chen smiled lightly: “I previously heard that the number one force in the Martial Domain, Piao Miao Palace, colluded with the Demon Tribe to ambush the strong practitioners of the major forces in the continent. Such rumors, I am extremely skeptical of. However, in order to prove my own stance, shouldn't Lord Shangguan allow this high-ranking individual beside you to reveal his true appearance, so everyone can feel at ease?”

“You…” Shangguan Gufeng's heart turned cold, and she was filled with fury.

Others may not know, but she was aware that the figure in black beside her was actually the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord of the Demon Tribe. How could such a person be exposed? Compared to Fu Qiankun, the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord was even more of a taboo.

“You seek death!”

Boom! A terrifying killing intent emerged, Shangguan Gufeng’s gaze was sharp and fierce, wanting to eliminate Qin Chen along with Long Batian.

“Enough! Stop messing around! If this continues, when will we reach the major forces of Tian Lei City?! The urgent matter now is to clarify what exactly lies beyond these passages.”

Seeing the situation becoming more chaotic, the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor suddenly shouted, interrupting everyone's killing intent.

His expression was ashen; if this continued, a battle was unavoidable. He wasn’t afraid of a few deaths, but if anything unusual happened here, and they were all caught up in it, who would take responsibility?

The Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor coldly stared at Qin Chen and said, “These two arrived here earliest and are the only ones aware of the purpose of these passages. Please provide an explanation as to why you do not allow Long Batian to take action?”

“Indeed, these two clearly know which passage is the correct one, yet they remain silent, forcing us to take risks entering these dead ends, while you repeatedly speak on their behalf. What is your intention?” The elder who had spoken earlier also glared at Qin Chen.

“Who are you?” Qin Chen glanced at him.

“Bi Hongyu from Gu Mo Sect!” the elder boomed.

“Oh…” Qin Chen dragged out the tone, then shifted the topic, “I’ve never heard of it.” The elder immediately looked as if he had swallowed a fly, his face turning red.

“Are you a mechanism master or an array master?” Qin Chen continued asking.

“Neither, but I have some understanding of strange door escape techniques,” the elder replied proudly.

Qin Chen nodded and sneered, “Just a bit of understanding? One might think you are better than Master Lou Zimo of the Qi Pavilion. What is this eight trigrams star movement? Ridiculous!”

“Hmph.” The elder trembled with anger, “Since you deny what I said, then what insights do you have?”

“I have no insights. I simply believe what these two said: all these passages should be the same and have no advantages or disadvantages.”

“Hahaha, ridiculous! How do you prove that?” Bi Hongyu laughed angrily, “You are all in cahoots; how do we know you aren’t colluding?”

The Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor and the others also looked at him coldly; this wasn’t impossible.

“Proving it is simple. Earlier you said that out of the fifty-three paths, fifty-two are dead ends, and only one is a live path, right?”

“Logically, that should be the case,” the elder replied, frowning, not understanding Qin Chen’s purpose for asking.

“Then please point out two paths at random. There should be at most one that is a live path, right?” Qin Chen continued.

The elder could only follow along: “Ninety percent likely.”
