“This is natural.”
Ao Lie was confident: “In a few days, it will be the day of the inheritance grand event in Cang Xuan City. This inheritance event has been ongoing for countless years, and it is said to have existed even before the Heavenly Realm shattered. So far, no one has been able to completely unlock this inheritance. I do not seek this child to fully activate the inheritance, but if he can seize the opportunity to break through to Earth Saint, it would indicate that he possesses great fortune. At that time, it will be reasonable for him to join the expedition to the Demon Path treasure.”
“Indeed, the situation is severe.”
The people present shook their heads: “If that treasure falls into the hands of other forces and they achieve further breakthroughs, our Cang Xuan City will truly be in danger.”
“Hmm?
Look at what Qin Chen is cultivating?
It actually generates an anomaly. Hiss, there is indeed the aura of a great figure contained within. This aura... supreme, is it really the Holy Lord?!”
Suddenly, a strong expert was shocked, gasping for breath.
Everyone looked to see that in the cultivation chamber, the rules around Qin Chen surged, and a vast aura emanated from him, like a god or demon, devouring endless power.
This mighty phantom exuded an extremely terrifying aura, making heaven and earth bow beneath its feet, clearly a trace of will and aura left in Qin Chen's body by a great figure.
No mistake about it.
“Hmph! Back when I fought against that golden talisman and black broken blade, I could only simulate such a trace. However, this should be enough to make the city lord's mansion think I have a connection with the Holy Lord.”
As Qin Chen activated the Nine Star Divine Emperor Art, absorbing the aura of the ancient holy vein and refining the Holy Body, he also comprehended the Void Shattering Divine Mark, stimulating the trace of understanding he had when the golden runes surrounded him, creating this phantom.
At that time in the Divine Forbidden Zone, Qin Chen was eroded by the vortex of time; it was this Holy Lord’s aura that protected him. During the process of protection, Qin Chen naturally grasped a trace of the Holy Lord’s momentum.
However, this was merely momentum and did not mean that Qin Chen possessed the Holy Lord's power.
But it was completely sufficient to intimidate others.
“This phantom... is too terrifying. My original power is tremoring.”
Ao Lie, the city lord, exclaimed in shock: “I was fortunate enough to have seen the Holy Lord of Guang Han Mansion from afar. That vast and eternal aura is exactly the same as this phantom. It seems that Qin Chen is indeed the inheritor of the Holy Lord. Although it is just a vague aura, it cannot be fake.”
“Hiss! An inheritor of the Holy Lord has actually come to our Cang Xuan City. My goodness.”
“I have never had the chance to meet the Holy Lord, and this kid is actually the Holy Lord’s inheritor. What are we, the Ao family, waiting for? We should directly submit. If we can submit to the Holy Lord’s power, what Heavenly Saint isn’t just like an ant to be crushed.”
A master from the city lord’s mansion began shouting.
“Not good.”
Ao Lie said solemnly: “Although this person is the Holy Lord’s inheritor, it is evident that the other party is allowing him to hone his skills. Clearly, they do not want him to leverage the Holy Lord’s power. Only in this way can they cultivate a truly defiant expert. If we intervene, it would be inappropriate.”
“Moreover, this person’s origins are mysterious. Which Holy Lord's power he is from is still unknown. If it is a hostile force of our Guang Han Mansion, then it would be troublesome.”
“So, we can only seek to befriend and connect, but we cannot submit.”
Ao Lie quickly analyzed, calculating precisely.
“That’s true.”
The others also came back to their senses from the shock. What the city lord said was indeed very reasonable. Qin Chen was, after all, just a mortal Saint, and his origins were unclear. If they directly leaned towards him, wouldn’t that be betraying the Guang Han Mansion?
