"Qiu Shui Zhenren, why have you come so slowly? This trip to the Ancient Ruins is of great importance. We must seize the treasure before our old rivals from the Divine Ancient Alliance. How can you still be so leisurely?"
"Mm? You brought an outsider in?"
"This is our Divine Ancient Alliance's secret area. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, and he is merely a half-step Heavenly Saint. Why did you bring him here?"
Suddenly, several Heavenly Saints seated in the great hall opened their eyes at the same time. The ground shook as if beams of blazing sunlight swept through, and the heavy pressure caused the Saint Yuan beside Qin Chen to erupt in waves.
"Lords, this Qin Chen is from the Wangu Building. Previously, the Wangu Building contacted our Divine Ancient Alliance about investigating the identity of that mysterious woman, and it was proposed by Qin Chen. He is a guest from the Wangu Building and has come to enter the Ancient Ruins with us."
Qiu Shui Zhenren immediately spoke for Qin Chen.
"What? He came to investigate the alluring woman's news through the Wangu Building?"
"Such a young age, and he's already a guest of the Wangu Building? Qiu Shui Zhenren, are you mistaken?"
"Even if he is a guest of the Wangu Building, you can't just bring him in. This is our Divine Ancient Alliance's secret area. Our relationship with the Wangu Building is merely one of cooperation, not subordination."
Streams of consciousness conveyed dissatisfaction, confusion, curiosity, and shock.
Qiu Shui Zhenren quickly said, "Lords, I brought him here through the teleportation array. Firstly, Qin Chen couldn’t possibly know the true location of our Divine Ancient Alliance’s secret area. Secondly, this young man is also a formidable expert. With him here, it will add a powerful combat force to our Ancient Alliance."
"Hahaha, Qiu Shui Zhenren, have you gone mad?"
"Although you are the sub-leader of the Youdu City branch, your status is extraordinary, but you must use your brain when speaking. A half-step Heavenly Saint can have any effect? Are you sending him to his death?"
"Expert? Hehe, when did half-step Heavenly Saints become experts? What a joke."
"This young man coming here isn't trying to make us Divine Ancient Alliance rescue that alluring woman, is he? We are here to seize treasures, not to save his little girlfriend."
The Heavenly Saints displayed their displeasure. It was one thing for Qiu Shui Zhenren to bring someone into their Divine Ancient Alliance's secret area, but to take him along to the Ancient Ruins was truly disruptive.
If not for Qiu Shui Zhenren's top-tier cultivation within the Divine Ancient Alliance, others would have already caused a ruckus.
One middle-aged man stood up, exuding the aura of a Heavenly Saint, and coldly said, "Qiu Shui Zhenren, what exactly do you want to do? This trip to the Ancient Ruins is fraught with danger. Just dealing with Jue Xing Tian, even with many of us working together, might not be enough to defeat him. You brought along such a burden. What if he gets into a conflict with other experts for the sake of his little girlfriend?"
"Moreover, that alluring woman is said to be stunningly beautiful, possessing world-shocking looks. Heh, even an expert like Jue Xing Tian might be captivated, and who knows if she has already...”
“Feng Wuliang, shut your mouth!”
Qiu Shui Zhenren shouted angrily, quickly looking at Qin Chen: “Young friend Qin Chen, please don’t take it to heart.”
Qin Chen's gaze was icy, and he coldly smiled, "Qiu Shui Zhenren, you don’t need to say anymore. Since Feng Wuliang says I'm a burden, then let him see if I am truly a burden. Words mean nothing; we must fight to know."
Boom!
As the words fell, Qin Chen suddenly moved.
He took a step forward, a terrifying murderous intent rising into the sky. With each step he took, the aura around him grew heavier, and the energy within the great hall was stirred, trembling in response to Qin Chen’s steps. The origin divine ability surged within him as Qin Chen unleashed a fierce punch.
