The martial artist who spoke earlier looked at the dead Feng Yuan, killed by Chen Guang, with confusion. After a moment, he said in shock, “It really was Chen Guang who killed him, but Chen Guang and Feng Yuan have a special bond. They have always teamed up when going out, so why would Chen Guang kill Feng Yuan?”
The leading martial artist contemplated for a moment, furrowing his brow as he said, “The fact that Chen Guang killed Feng Yuan is indeed very strange. However, since it happened, there are only two possible reasons. One is that Chen Guang and Feng Yuan weren’t as close as they appeared on the surface; there may have been a rift between them, so Chen Guang ambushed Feng Yuan here. This is one possibility. Besides that, there’s another possibility—”
At this point, the leading martial artist’s gaze suddenly brightened, shooting out a gleam of brilliance.
“Big Brother, what is that possibility?”
Another martial artist looked over in confusion, unsure why his brother had suddenly fallen silent.
“That is, Chen Guang and Feng Yuan simultaneously discovered a top-tier treasure. This treasure is incredibly important, even capable of changing their fates. Chen Guang wanted to monopolize the treasure, leading him to secretly ambush and kill Feng Yuan.”
As he said this, the leading martial artist's breathing grew heavy. This second possibility seemed to be even more real and closer to the truth.
“So, are you saying that Chen Guang also died for this reason?
That top-tier treasure must have fallen into the hands of the one who killed Chen Guang,” another martial artist said immediately, his eyes shining. “Big Brother, what should we do next?
Should we chase after them? Judging by the aura, the one who killed Chen Guang should not have left for long. However, since that person could kill Chen Guang, would we…”
He felt a bit worried, wondering if the opponent was a formidable expert.
The leading martial artist sneered, “Of course we will chase! If that person truly has strong abilities, they wouldn’t have left behind Chen Guang’s holy weapon, and escaped so hastily. If I’m not mistaken, that person killing Chen Guang was probably just a stroke of luck.”
The two exchanged glances, their eyes immediately filled with fervor. Gathering Chen Guang’s black battle knife, they promptly rushed in the direction where Qin Chen had disappeared, not deviating in the slightest, indicating their immense battle experience.
Qin Chen had survived countless life-and-death situations. What hadn’t he experienced?
He wasn’t sure what level the two pursuers were, but in his severely injured state, he didn’t want to encounter these people. Therefore, he constantly changed directions in the void and erased all traces of his passage.
With a shake of his figure, Qin Chen directly vanished into a nearby mountain range.
Just moments later, two figures landed near the place where Qin Chen had disappeared.
“The aura has vanished here?”
The leading martial artist furrowed his brow and said, but he couldn’t sense the direction in which Qin Chen had disappeared. He said solemnly, “What a formidable concealment technique!”
“Big Brother, what should we do next?”
The other martial artist asked.
The leading martial artist hesitated for a moment and said, “He probably escaped. Also, ahead is the Tianmang Mountain Range, where various sects are established. If we rashly enter, it’s easy to encounter danger. Moreover, the grand event in Cangxuan City will start soon; we shouldn’t waste time here. That’s a rare opportunity.”
“What a pity. Let’s go then.”
The two shook their heads regretfully and swiftly left the area.
After the two left, Qin Chen had already entered the vast mountains.
“The priority is to fully heal my injuries and then figure out where I am.”
Qin Chen landed in a valley, letting out a slight sigh. His injuries hadn’t recovered; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to be so on edge. He remained somewhat vigilant of the unknown Heavenly Realm.
