Ouyang Zhengqi had just received the order and let out a bitter laugh, saying, "I don't know either. I just received the news and have been waiting here for you all. The Ancestor is currently in the alchemy chamber. Let me take you over."
Under Ouyang Zhengqi's guidance, the group moved deeper into the residence.
At this moment, Qin Chen had already recounted the events that transpired in the Sea of Thunder and the Bloodline Holy Land to Ouyang Hongguang, leaving Ouyang Hongguang utterly shocked. He never imagined that Qin Chen had experienced so much in such a short time.
While they were conversing, Ouyang Zhengqi's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, "Ancestor, Lin Tian and the others have arrived."
Qin Chen immediately stood up.
Ouyang Hongguang looked at Qin Chen's excited demeanor and smiled slightly, saying, "Bring them in."
"Yes, Ancestor."
The door to the alchemy chamber was opened, and Ouyang Zhengqi led Lin Tian and the five others inside. Subconsciously, he said respectfully, "Ancestor, I don't know if the Ancestor..." Halfway through, Ouyang Zhengqi's eyes widened, staring blankly at Qin Chen, dumbfounded as he exclaimed, "You... you..."
The five people from Zixun also saw Qin Chen, all frozen in place, their bodies slightly trembling, and tears suddenly welled up in their eyes.
"Everyone, I'm back."
Qin Chen smiled at them and said lightly.
"Chen Shao!"
Zhang Ying rushed forward and directly punched Qin Chen. Bang! The punch landed, but Qin Chen remained unmoved. Zhang Ying immediately embraced Qin Chen and exclaimed, "Damn it, you finally came back!"
"Get off, get off, get off!"
Qin Chen hurriedly pushed Zhang Ying away. Two big men hugging each other was too disgusting.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? I'm a straight man!"
Zhang Ying shouted, extremely excited.
"Chen Shao."
"Chen Shao."
Lin Tian and Yuwen Feng also excitedly stepped forward, their voices trembling.
Zixun and Zhao Lingshan, however, had tears flowing down their cheeks without warning, speechless and choked up. They quietly looked at Qin Chen, their eyes glistening with tears, unable to say a word as their emotions erupted in this silence.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. I made everyone suffer."
Qin Chen spoke softly, his voice filled with regret.
Initially, he intended to return to the Alchemy Pavilion right after exiting the Ancient Yu Realm, but too many events had occurred, leaving him with no time to go to the Alchemy Pavilion. It was only now that he had finally entered Dan City for the first time.
"We should be the ones to say sorry."
Zixun spoke, her heart turbulent with emotion, not knowing what to say.
They had heard about everything Qin Chen had gone through. While they were safely cultivating in the Alchemy Pavilion, Qin Chen was fighting for his life outside, which filled them all with a strong sense of guilt.
Days had passed, and upon reuniting, there was naturally an endless stream of words to share. After a while, everyone calmed down from their excitement.
"Chen Shao, did you come this time to unite with the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Ouyang Zhengqi asked in confusion.
Qin Chen nodded.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Ouyang Zhengqi had also stepped into the initial peak of the Nineth Level Martial God realm. However, compared to Zixun and the others, his cultivation level was still slightly lower, which was truly a twist of fate.
Fortunately, Ouyang Zhengqi didn't mind. He was already quite satisfied to have entered the Nineth Level Martial God realm within a few years, as not everyone was as talented as someone like Lin Tian.
"Do you have any plans?"
Ouyang Zhengqi didn't believe that Qin Chen was unaware of the difficulties they faced. Although the news from the Bloodline Holy Land had spread throughout the Martial Domain, the discussions within the Alchemy Pavilion had not yet reached a final decision, as there were too many chaotic messages on the continent, and no one knew what the truth was.
Even though the Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor stood with Ouyang Hongguang and Master Situ Xingzhou from the Situ family, the opposing forces were also strong and should not be underestimated.
