What? Everyone was shocked and stared at the Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord. At the same time, they were filled with apprehension towards Shangguan Gufeng, who was standing nearby.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangguan Gufeng's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on Qin Chen, shouting sternly.
"Nonsense? I'm afraid this Young Master is not the one talking nonsense, right? As a distinguished figure of the Piao Miao Palace, with such astonishing cultivation that even we can spare our hands to attack this shadow, yet you, with a treasure like the Primordial Bell, cannot spare your hands? Do you really think we are idiots?" Qin Chen sneered.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Extreme Mirror Pill Emperor and others narrowed even further. Indeed, although those iron chains were terrifying, if one exerted their full strength, it was not impossible to break them. This was also the reason why everyone was able to break free from the chains and continuously strike at the shadow. However, Shangguan Gufeng of the Piao Miao Palace and that person in black hadn't struck even once, while Dao Gaoming was in a dire situation, seemingly about to break free but instead was killed by that person in black. Such behavior was truly strange.
Shangguan Gufeng felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Seeing the doubtful gazes of everyone, he never expected that a small mistake on his part would lead to suspicion against him. He snorted coldly and said, "Dao Gaoming was trapped, clearly due to his own inadequate strength. My Piao Miao Palace had good intentions to rescue him, but we simply could not succeed. As for not striking earlier, it was because I was fully occupied dealing with these iron chains, allowing you the opportunity to act. Now, at such a critical moment, do you still want to stir internal strife?"
This made everyone’s hearts sink. Indeed, now was not the time for infighting. Without sufficient evidence, they did not dare to conflict with the Piao Miao Palace.
"Is that so?" Qin Chen sneered, "Then let this Young Master see the true face of this person first."
"Impudent! What kind of person are you to be worthy of seeing the countenance of my Piao Miao Palace disciple?" Shangguan Gufeng said viciously. She would never allow the Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord to be exposed.
"Furthermore, this person in black beside you is also extremely mysterious. May I say that this person beside you could very likely be from the Demon Tribe?" Shangguan Gufeng coldly mocked.
Qin Chen chuckled, noncommittal, and said coldly, "In that case, can you, Lord Shangguan, fight this alien?"
"Why not?" Shangguan Gufeng snorted. With a buzz, she activated the Primordial Bell, and instantly, a blaze of light surged, striking towards the shadow. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she dared not hold back, and a vast power descended.
A massive bell-shaped phantom pressed down, and beneath the phantom, a hazy light appeared. This strike was too terrifying, making people involuntarily feel fear. Shangguan Gufeng was truly formidable; under such might, even a peak Martial God would be turned to ashes!
The shadow's expression darkened, revealing a hint of fear for the first time.
Bang! Endless iron chains surged forth, each one connected to a demonic formation, strangling towards everyone.
"Master Lou Zimo, quickly set up the formation to break the Ten Thousand Demon Locking Heaven Formation. We will find an opportunity to deal with this shadow," Qin Chen commanded.
Lou Zimo frowned, feeling displeased that Qin Chen was instructing him. However, despite his dissatisfaction, he still set about arranging the formation.
"Gong Sun, President, and Zhai, President, be careful of Wu Yong," Qin Chen shouted as he charged forward, simultaneously transmitting sound to Gong Sun Zhe and Zhai Xiangming. After observing, he realized that these three were not allies of Shangguan Gufeng, so he secretly warned them.
Gong Sun Zhe and Zhai Xiangming were taken aback and subtly glanced at Wu Yong. Though they did not understand why Qin Chen wanted them to be wary of Wu Yong, they nevertheless felt a tinge of vigilance.
