However, the comfort from Qin Chen only deepened the bitterness on Shou Yuancheng's face.
If Qin Chen were a Half-Saint master, he could still understand, but who would have thought he was merely a peak Martial God? Yet the cultivation he had displayed previously… had he already fallen behind?
Shou Yuancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Of course, he was the master of Wanbao Tower, and soon regained his composure.
"The two of you, it seems that Wolongsheng and others have actually colluded with Piao Miao Palace. I believe that the exposure within Wanbao Tower is not limited to just them; there must be more people involved. So please allow this old man to take his leave first."
Shou Yuancheng's murderous intent surged, clearly indicating he was going to interrogate severely and make a bloodbath.
"Please, Master Shou, go ahead and take care of your business. We will make a special visit tomorrow."
Qin Chen understood Shou Yuancheng's intentions.
"Kuang Dao Martial God, please accompany Master Mo and City Master Qin for a while; this old man takes his leave."
With a thunderous command, Shou Yuancheng quickly led Wolongsheng and others away, beginning a bloodbath within Wanbao Tower.
"Young Master Chen!"
At this moment, excited voices broke through the darkness, and four figures rushed out.
Seeing Qin Chen, the four were ecstatic, their eyes sparkling with brilliance.
It was none other than Wang Qiming, Di Tianyi, Leng Wushuang, and Qin Ying.
Looking at the four, Qin Chen realized that Wang Qiming and the others had all become formidable, even the weakest among them, Qin Ying, had broken through to the mid-stage of the Ninth Level, while Wang Qiming was even approaching the peak of the mid-stage, exuding an aura that hinted at stepping into the realm of a Giant Martial God.
In just a few short years, they had achieved such cultivation. Although they still fell short compared to You Qianxue and himself, they were significantly stronger than countless other talented experts on the continent.
Watching the figures of the four, Qin Chen felt as though everything was like a distant memory. His most free-spirited youth was spent with Wang Qiming and this group of people. Seeing them reminded him of the events in the Five Nations region and in the ancient southern capital.
Recalling those days, he felt incredibly naive.
Now, Wang Qiming and the others wore simple clothing, but their auras were terrifying, resembling that of an abyss.
Time had allowed everyone to grow; each had become different.
"Young Master Chen!"
Wang Qiming excitedly stepped forward and gave him a bear hug.
Di Tianyi and Leng Wushuang also chimed in with excitement: "Young Master Chen."
Back then, they were high and mighty, geniuses from the Dawai Dynasty, while Qin Chen was merely a native of the Five Nations.
But after experiencing the battle in the ancient southern capital, the two had been completely convinced by Qin Chen and willingly stood on the same battlefield as him.
Now looking back, the third young master, Hua Tiandu of the Liu Xian Sect, who was once on par with them, had long since vanished, while the two of them had fought their way out of the Dawai Dynasty into the Hundred Dynasties region, later moving to the Northern Sky Domain, and finally joining Wanbao Tower.
All of this had come about because of Qin Chen.
If it weren't for Qin Chen, they would likely still be struggling in that Hundred Dynasties region. Even if they had crossed into the realm of Martial Kings, without such a vast stage, they would have only reached the peak of Martial Kings at most.
"You all have become stronger after many years."
Qin Chen smiled at Wang Qiming and the others.
"Sister Ying."
He then turned his gaze to Qin Ying, who looked at him with tears of excitement.
"Qin Chen, I’m so glad you’re okay. I was so worried about you!"
Tears shimmered in Qin Ying’s eyes.
When she heard the news of Qin Chen's fall in the Ancient Yu Realm, she had almost collapsed.
"I'm fine, Sister Ying. It’s you all who made me very worried!"
