Chapter 2316: Soul Searching 🧐

Published: December 25, 2024

“Such strength!”

Gu Huamao looked at Qin Chen in shock. The soul power emitted by Qin Chen was incredibly strong, even he felt as if he was being completely probed, let alone ordinary strong fighters.

“This person's soul power has probably reached an extremely terrifying level. No wonder he can clash with the Demon Tribe and control Thunder City. With such strength, I might not even be his match.”

Strong soul power represents a strong comprehension of the world. Previously, Gu Huamao didn’t understand why Qin Chen, at such a young age, was already a peak Martial God level expert, even able to kill the likes of Xiao Dongyan and other ancestors of the Xiao family. But now, he understood.

He didn’t expect that the Breaking Dust Martial Emperor from back then could have such a disciple.

Gu Huamao was shocked, while the other experts from the Qi Hall were stunned. Under Qin Chen's terrifying soul power, they felt like a small boat on the ocean, facing the risk of capsizing at any moment.

Of course, this was just an illusion. After all, although Qin Chen's soul power was strong, he couldn't instantly extinguish the souls of so many strong fighters. Not to mention him, even the people of the Demon Tribe couldn't do that.

Otherwise, Qin Chen would have been invincible long ago.

Looking at the shocked and dazed expressions of the other experts in the Qi Hall, Lou Zimo felt extremely pleased inside. After he returned from Thunder City, he had explicitly expressed the need for cooperation between the Qi Hall and Thunder City to counter the Piao Miao Palace and the Demon Tribe.

However, although the other experts in the Qi Hall did not openly oppose, they raised many concerns, suggesting that until things were clear, it would be best for the Qi Hall to refrain from getting involved.

After all, the previous Deputy Hall Master Mu Xun had forcefully sought out the Piao Miao Palace but ended up siding with them. This incident had already become a laughingstock for the Qi Hall, causing them to lose face.

Some even believed Lou Zimo was trying to boost others’ ambitions while undermining his own prestige. A young man, no matter how strong, could only achieve so much.

But now, seeing the shocked and dazed gazes of the experts from the Qi Hall, Lou Zimo's sense of satisfaction was impossible to conceal.

Meanwhile, as Qin Chen sensed the martial artists throughout Tianzhen Mountain, in a corner of Tianzhen Mountain, several elders were conversing.

These people were merely outer gate elders of Tianzhen Mountain and naturally could not be brought into the main hall to welcome Qin Chen; they could only take turns on duty here.

“Have you heard? The Alchemy Pavilion Master Mo Yuanbai has brought Thunder City Master Qin Chen to our Qi Hall, and the Hall Master is accompanying them.”

“Isn’t that the Qin Chen who pursued Emperor Xuanyuan in the Bloodline Sacred Land?”

“Who else could it be?”

“Hiss, why did he come to our Qi Hall? I heard he is a calamity star; wherever he goes, trouble follows. He doesn’t think we have people from the Piao Miao Palace here, does he?”

“Hehe, our Qi Hall is peaceful and rarely involved in external affairs. Unlike the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Sacred Land, I’m afraid Qin Chen is overthinking it.”

The elders exchanged various opinions.

“Hmph, in my opinion, Qin Chen is the true colluder with the Demon Tribe, stirring up chaos in the Martial Domain, aiming to weaken our human forces, making it easier for the Demon Tribe to control the Tianwu Continent.”

One elder snorted coldly, his gaze icy.

“Hmm, this statement…” The other elders frowned upon hearing it.

It really seemed that way! What Qin Chen was doing on the continent, although claimed to be for the continent's benefit, had already caused countless forces to be in turmoil. Now, many powers on the continent were in great fear, scrambling to monitor their own people. If this continued, there would be no need for the Demon Tribe to invade; the human power would collapse on its own.
