At first, the Master of Tian Di Mountain did not take it seriously. Back when he was stationed at Tian Di Mountain, he had never been this cautious. However, after hearing the words of the black slave and the Great Sadness Elder, who had both been with Qin Chen for many years, he decided to heed their advice and quietly relocated to an undisclosed residence, living in seclusion and not even informing the Tian Xun Association.
Who would have thought that black slave and the Great Sadness Elder had actually foreseen this? Upon hearing what the Master of Tian Di Mountain had to say, the black slave's expression changed, and he solemnly inquired, "Master of the Mountain, is that expert stronger than you?" Although the black slave suggested this course of action, it was merely his usual cautious approach. With Qin Chen absent, everything needed to be handled with care. After all, the events at Tian Lei City caused quite a stir. If the major forces that came here became curious and started investigating in secret, they would certainly fall into crisis once exposed.
But he never anticipated that someone would actually launch an attack.
Especially upon seeing the heavy expression on the Master of Tian Di Mountain, both the black slave and the Great Sadness Elder could no longer remain calm. It should be noted that the Master of Tian Di Mountain was one of the top experts of the Xuanyuan Empire, a peak 武帝 powerhouse, arranged by Feng Shaoyu to guard the extremely important secret realm of Tian Di Mountain. This indicated how strong he truly was.
He was undoubtedly one of the top figures on the continent, although he couldn't match the ancestors of the major forces, he was not far off either, with a prominent reputation. Yet now, seeing the Master of Tian Di Mountain in this state, it was evident how much he had been shaken internally.
"Strong, much stronger!" The Master of Tian Di Mountain's face was grave. He had secretly witnessed the actions of Shangguan Xi'er, and recalling the scene at that time still left him apprehensive. "The one attacking my Black Cult is definitely one of the top powers on the continent, one among the few renowned ancestors." The Master of Tian Di Mountain said in a low voice, "If I were to face them, I fear I would surely fall within a hundred moves."
The Master of Tian Di Mountain was also a proud individual, but he was well aware of his own limitations. In terms of strength, he was not much stronger than Bin Xinglan from the Tian Gui Sect, and that mysterious person had easily injured Bin Xinglan, even leaving the sect master of Tian Gui, the Xiao family, and the Teng family ancestors unable to trace him. Just this alone was remarkable.
Upon hearing the Master of Tian Di Mountain's account, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts and could only pray silently, hoping that Qin Chen would be safe and sound; otherwise, they would have no choice but to give up on Tian Lei City. At this moment, Qin Chen was naturally unaware of everything happening in Tian Lei City. He was completely immersed in the battle against the Demon Puppets, continuously employing his sword control technique, with the dual swords in motion, exhausting both his mental power and true essence.
Streams of killing sword energy swept out, and Qin Chen was thoroughly absorbed in the battle. It seemed as if he had returned to the ancient Yu Realm, facing the onslaught of blood beasts and strange beasts unleashed by Lao Yuan, where he comprehended the meaning of killing and improved his cultivation.
Here, these Demon Puppets, in terms of both quantity and level, were far stronger than the blood-colored strange beasts generated from that bit of blood energy by Lao Yuan. However, comparatively, the current Qin Chen was much more relaxed.
After his advancement, he had gained the Spatial Thunder Domain. Although these Demon Puppets were powerful, their sheer numbers could not overwhelm his Spatial Thunder Domain, and naturally, they could not pose a significant threat to him.
