Martial Master

Qin Chen let out a faint sigh. How could he not wish for things to be different? In his previous life, he devoted himself to research, indifferent to the world, which were indeed his happiest times. But in this life, he was destined to be busy and on the run.

"It will happen, one day it will happen. Once the Tianwu Continent stabilizes, we can return to Tianlei City for quiet cultivation and a peaceful life," Qin Chen quietly looked at the distant city, suddenly thinking of Chen Sisi, a slight fluttering sensation arose in his heart.

"I wonder how Sisi is doing." Strong emotions surged within Qin Chen. Sisi was the Holy Daughter of the Illusion Demon Sect, and given the power of the Illusion Demon Sect, she should be fine. What about Zhao Lingshan and the others? How are Wang Qiming and the rest faring? Qin Chen pondered quietly, and he believed that one day he would bring all his friends and family together, and they wouldn’t have to worry about any dangers ever again.

And then there was his mother.

Qin Chen had never given up on searching for his mother's whereabouts, but for some reason, he had never heard any news about her, as if she had vanished from the Tianwu Continent. He believed his mother must be somewhere out there.

If his mother could see what he was like now, she would surely be very happy.

"I wish Sisi were here too," Ji Ruyue suddenly spoke. Back when the three of them trained together in the Ancient Yu Realm, they weren't very familiar with Qin Chen yet, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "Back then in the Spatial Pool, you saw us naked."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen's face turned red. He didn’t expect Ji Ruyue to be so straightforward, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue also blushed slightly, but still said, "Chen Shao, back then Sisi saw the explosion in the Demon Continent and almost rushed into it. If it weren't for the Illusion Martial Emperor stopping her, she might have already died. Now, who knows how she is doing in the Illusion Demon Sect? If she thinks you’re dead, it might be really hard for her."

A twinge of guilt suddenly rose in Qin Chen's heart. The reason he hadn’t gone to find Sisi was that both Ruyue and Qianxue were in great danger, while Sisi was relatively safe. But now, even if he was busy, he should go check on Sisi, at least to let her know he was safe. Moreover, the fact that the sect master of the Illusion Demon Sect was actually a Half-Saint powerhouse shocked Qin Chen greatly.

Back in the Ancient Demon Land, it was clear that the sect master of the Illusion Demon Sect was not in cahoots with Shangguan Xier. If he could recruit such a master to his side, it would definitely benefit him greatly in dealing with the Piao Miao Palace.

"It was my oversight. I will go to the Illusion Demon Sect as soon as possible," a sense of self-reproach filled Qin Chen. He reached out and pulled both Qianxue and Ruyue into his embrace. At this moment, no one spoke, all enjoying the tranquility and warmth.

The happiness after hardship is even more precious, and reunions after long separations are cherished even more. Whether it was Ji Ruyue or You Qianxue, they both understood that this was not the time for romantic feelings. With the emergence of the Sky-Eating Demon Lord, the crisis on the continent was even more severe. Qin Chen had many more important matters to attend to.

While they hoped Qin Chen would stay by their side, they also understood the responsibilities he carried.

In the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish, they had absorbed quite a bit of Holy Crystal energy, significantly improving their cultivation, but they were still some distance from reaching the peak of the Martial God realm. They could stay behind to continue cultivating and manage Tianlei City, which was the least they could do for Qin Chen.

Qin Chen was very satisfied with the current state of Tianlei City; it could accommodate his friends and family without significant danger. But he knew he could not stay there for long.
