“Earth Saint mid-stage, I have broken through to Earth Saint mid-stage?”
Qin Chen stood up, clenched his fists, and instantly, a terrifying power began to coalesce above his hands, creating a violent storm of profound meaning throughout the heavens and earth.
“No wonder I feel the power of the Saint Level.”
Qin Chen was shocked as he felt the strength surging within him. Although he had only crossed from the peak of Earth Saint early-stage to mid-stage, it was merely a small realm advancement.
Yet, this small realm allowed Qin Chen to clearly perceive the explosive increase in his power. If he were to encounter Xue Wudao again, he would have absolute confidence and fear nothing.
“An unparalleled Earth Saint?”
Qin Chen's gaze turned cold, snorting lightly as he suddenly appeared outside the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish.
“I have been in seclusion for about five months; it seems that three days have passed in the outside world. I wonder how Lord Ao Lie and the others are faring in their explorations.”
Qin Chen retracted the barriers he had set up and began to soar within this Demon Saint inheritance, searching for Ao Lie and the others.
At this moment,
Ao Lie and the others had already reached the deepest part of the Yan Luo Secret Realm.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dense Yan Luo demonic energy surged, and Ao Lie urged the Noah Ark to explore within the Yan Luo demonic energy.
“Father, it has been three days, and there has not been any news of Qin Chen. What if something happened to him?”
Ao Qingling said anxiously. For the past three days, they had been searching for Qin Chen while exploring the Yan Luo Secret Realm. Naturally, they had made some gains, but Qin Chen's whereabouts remained elusive, which left them quite worried.
“Daughter, don't worry. A person with great fortune like Qin Chen won't fall so easily. Moreover, we have always been very close to Xue Wudao and the others. If they discovered Qin Chen, we would surely sense something. But now, there has been no movement at all. It is evident that they haven't found Qin Chen either.”
Ao Lie couldn’t help but marvel, “That kid really can hide; I wonder where he has gone. With such a precious treasure, could he have found a place to cultivate?”
Cultivating?
Everyone was taken aback. To cultivate in the Yan Luo Secret Realm, that would be such a waste.
Moreover, they had previously obtained some treasures, including two supreme-grade Earth Pills. These Earth Pills were incredibly formidable, and consuming them would trigger a transformation in the body, certainly causing a significant commotion. If Qin Chen were cultivating, he wouldn’t go unnoticed, unless he were hiding in a very secretive place.
“What I’m worried about now isn’t Qin Chen, but the oddities of this Yan Luo Secret Realm.”
Ao Lie looked into the distance, his brows tightly furrowed.
“Oddities?”
“Yes, don’t you find it strange?”
“This Yan Luo Secret Realm is the stronghold of the ancient Yan Luo Demon Tribe, and it has only recently opened. We are among the first batch to enter. Regardless of why the Yan Luo Demon Tribe fell back then, how could there not be a wealth of treasures in such a place?”
Ao Lie said in a deep voice, “However, in the days we have been here, aside from the cave that Qin Chen plundered, which had an ancient holy vein and astonishing pills, the other places where we have found treasures are few and far between. This is far too inconsistent with the identity and status of the Yan Luo Demon Tribe.”
Everyone nodded in agreement; indeed, the quantity of treasures here was far too scarce, not befitting the Yan Luo Secret Realm's level. How could an average demon tribe have so little?
“Moreover, I am worried about another issue.”
Ao Lie squinted, “Where have the people from the Soul Fire Family gone?”
“This…” Everyone was suddenly shocked.
Where indeed were the people from the Soul Fire Family?
Since the conclusion of the Cang Xuan City grand meeting, the people from the Soul Fire Family had vanished without a trace, not making a sound. Even after they entered the Yan Luo Secret Realm, they still had not been seen, which was very suspicious.
