Martial Master

The Phantom Martial Emperor looked at Qin Chen with suspicion and noticed that after hearing the news about Chen Sisi, Qin Chen's body trembled slightly. She couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between Qin Chen and Chen Sisi.

Could he be some young master infatuated with the Holy Daughter from the continent?

If it weren't for Qin Chen's terrifying strength, the Phantom Martial Emperor might have thought so. However, the news from Thunder City had also reached the Phantom Demon Sect, and she had heard many stories about Qin Chen. How could a young man who could slay even the ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Dongyan, be infatuated with the Holy Daughter?

Moreover, Chen Sisi had only been chosen in recent years from the Northern Celestial Region because of her innate charming physique, and she had hardly ever left the Phantom Demon Sect. Aside from her trip to the Ancient Ruins, she almost never had the opportunity to interact with outsiders...

No, wait, the Ancient Ruins!

The Phantom Martial Emperor's body shook, and she suddenly thought of a possibility, staring at Qin Chen in shock. Could it be him?

A figure of a young man appeared in her mind. At first, she was merely suspicious, but upon carefully looking at Qin Chen's hazy figure in the distance, that familiar feeling grew stronger.

How could it be possible? He had already died in the Ancient Ruins, hadn't he? When the Ancient Ruins exploded, everyone perished, and almost no one could escape. How could he possibly survive such an explosion?

The Phantom Martial Emperor was filled with disbelief and could not accept that Qin Chen could be the person she had in mind. However, the more she looked, the more he resembled that person. Although she couldn't see his face, that aura made her increasingly certain that the person before her was very likely who she imagined.

Hiss!

At this moment, the Phantom Martial Emperor no longer felt any fear or shock; all that filled her mind was astonishment.

On the other hand, Qin Chen was in extreme anxiety.

It couldn’t be, Sisi couldn’t possibly be dead.

Qin Chen's mind was a chaotic mess, but he understood that the Phantom Martial Emperor had no reason to lie to him. However, if Sisi had truly entered the Ancient Demon Land, didn’t that mean she was already dead? He couldn't accept this outcome. This news struck him like a heavy hammer, leaving him at a loss and on the verge of collapse.

“Why would Sisi go to the Thunder Sea? Her cultivation has barely just broken through to the Martial God level, right? With so many experts from the Phantom Demon Sect, even if the sect master wanted to seek treasure in that spatial seal, they shouldn’t have brought the Holy Daughter to the Thunder Sea, right?”

After a brief moment of anxiety and panic, Qin Chen calmed down and asked coldly.

He suddenly realized a flaw in the story.

Yes, maybe the Phantom Martial Emperor was deceiving herself.

It had to be that way. Although Qin Chen knew this possibility was slim, at that moment, he felt as if he had grasped the last straw of hope and held on tight.

To be clear, the news of the discovery of the Holy Crystal in the Thunder Sea was exceedingly alarming. After receiving the news, various powerful factions urgently dispatched their top experts, such as the Extreme Mirror Pill Emperor and Lou Zimo, among others. Yet, not a single faction took along Holy Sons or Holy Daughters as burdens.

That’s right, although figures like Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had potential for development, in the eyes of top experts, they were merely encumbrances.

Yet the sect master of the Phantom Demon Sect actually took Chen Sisi to the Thunder Sea; that defied logic.

The Phantom Martial Emperor smiled bitterly and said, “The sect master brought the Holy Daughter to the Thunder Sea not to seize the Holy Crystal. The reason for entering that spatial seal was merely a coincidence. The main purpose for the sect master taking the Holy Daughter to the Thunder Sea was to cleanse her body and purify her soul, to relieve her from the torment of the Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Souls…”
