Martial Master

"It's him, it really is him!" The Master of the Illusory Demon Sect murmured. No one noticed the tears that rolled down her cheeks, evaporating in an instant.

"To think he still has a descendant alive, a descendant in this world."

The Master of the Illusory Demon Sect looked at the Thunder City before her, feeling an overwhelming surge of emotion.

She was heartbroken when she learned of Qin Chen's demise, having once questioned Shangguan Xier, only to receive a cruel response. It was then she realized how deeply she loved Qin Chen.

She fought with her sister and, in a moment of madness, ventured into the Valley of Death, but found no trace of Qin Chen.

Later, she despaired and willingly embraced the path of darkness, her only desire to kill Shangguan Xier and avenge Qin Chen.

Though she practiced the Way of Heartlessness, her heart had long died. Yet when she suspected that Chen Qingji might be related to the Broken Dust Martial Emperor, she hurried to Thunder City desperately.

For days, she sat quietly here, trying to stabilize her heart, only to find it utterly disturbed.

And now, she finally got news of Qin Chen. It turned out that the city lord of Thunder City, Chen Qing, was the very Qin Chen from the Ancient Yu Realm, his descendant. The Master of the Illusory Demon Sect felt a complex mix of emotions.

"Sigh, let's go."

After a long while, she sighed. Even if Qin Chen was his descendant, what could she do? Could she face Qin Chen and tell him she was actually his teacher's wife?

Back then, she indeed deceived the Broken Dust Martial Emperor and had no face to meet Qin Chen.

In Thunder City, You Qianxue, Ji Ruyue, and the Mountain Master of the Heavenly Emperor watched the Master of the Illusory Demon Sect from afar.

When she first appeared outside Thunder City, she startled You Qianxue and the others.

They knew the Master of the Illusory Demon Sect's strength, one of the rare semi-saint realm experts on the Tianwu Continent. Although Qin Chen had set up top-level formations in Thunder City, the Mountain Master and others dared not guarantee those formations could definitely stop her.

Luckily, she had stayed outside Thunder City without making any moves, which slightly eased You Qianxue and the others’ anxiety.

If the Master of the Illusory Demon Sect came to trouble Thunder City, she would have acted upon arrival, not waited days without action.

"I wonder how Young Hero Chen is doing. After resolving matters at the Bloodline Holy Land, he should be returning soon," You Qianxue said worriedly.

"Should we send someone to contact the Master of the Illusory Demon Sect to see what she wants?" Ji Ruyue frowned.

The Master of the Illusory Demon Sect staying outside Thunder City was unsettling, leaving them on edge.

"Ladies, there's no rush," the Mountain Master said. "The Master of the Illusory Demon Sect must have her reasons for coming. If she wants to contact us, she will. Besides, though she is strong, attacking Thunder City is no easy feat."

The Mountain Master had confidence in Qin Chen's formations.

At this moment, in the void outside Thunder City, figures exuding a cold aura began to appear.

"Everyone, the boss has instructed that in the absence of Fu Qiankun, we are to launch a surprise attack on Thunder City. We must breach it completely, leaving no survivors."

The leader, an evil expert shrouded in black magic aura, was Yemashi from the Piao Miao Palace's Demon Tribe. Beside it were top experts from the Demon Tribe, all exuding powerful auras, each a top-tier demon lord.

Shangguan Xier learned of the Bloodline Holy Land's situation and the vulnerability of Thunder City, so she sent the top experts from the Demon Tribe to launch a surprise attack on Thunder City.

"Attack!"

Yemashi's eyes were cold as it ordered. Instantly, figures appeared in the void, each producing a black magic banner which they threw out swiftly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Yemashi and the others moved quickly, and in moments, the void above Thunder City was covered with countless magic banners. Majestic demon light surged, forming a massive demon formation that pressed down on Thunder City below.
