“Jue Xing Tian, in the hands of this Young Master, you can stop struggling. Don't worry, this Young Master won’t kill you; after all, you still have some use.”
Qin Chen sneered, quickly leaving the spot while activating the Qian Kun Zao Hua Yu Die to conceal his aura. He left this cave and entered another underground area of the Ancient Ruins, eager to see his spoils.
Qin Chen knew that in this Ancient Ruins, not only were there powerful figures like Jue Xing Tian, but also many strong beings from the Death Spirit Domain. Although his cultivation was extraordinary, he had yet to break through to the Heavenly Saint, so he needed to remain low-key to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Once he breaks through to the Heavenly Saint, he would have nothing to fear in the Death Spirit Domain, able to go anywhere. Even if he encountered formidable opponents, he would have enough strength to escape, fearless.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Qin Chen moved like lightning, and under the cover of the Qian Kun Zao Hua Yu Die's aura, he reached the endless underground. He then swiftly entered the Qian Kun Zao Hua Yu Die.
He had a premonition that his capture of Jue Xing Tian this time would yield significant rewards.
About half a stick of incense later, after Qin Chen left the cave, a loud noise echoed as two figures descended into the cave.
One figure was clad in black, and the other in gray. They were Jing Hu Zhen Ren and Kong Xu Lao Ren. As soon as they landed, they were shocked by the rich ancient aura in the area.
“There is such intense ancient aura here; what is this place?”
While the two were astonished, they began searching everywhere, seemingly sensing Jue Xing Tian's aura.
“Unfortunately, this time we still let the Shengu Alliance escape. The people from the Shengu Alliance flee so quickly; they have teleportation formations everywhere, like rats.”
“Indeed, the Shengu Alliance is no small matter. They are a major force in the Death Spirit Domain, and it is rumored that they have dealings with a top power from the Guanghan House. The leader of the Shengu Alliance is also not weaker than us and is about to become a mid-Heavenly Saint.”
“Most importantly, the Shengu Alliance once obtained a teleportation treasure in the Ancient Ruins, spreading their influence throughout the Death Spirit Domain, eager to expand.”
“Unfortunately, they offended us. Once we break through to the mid-Heavenly Saint, we can join forces against the Shengu Alliance, destroying them and seizing all their wealth.”
“Hehe, once we occupy the Shengu Alliance, with the strength of the three of us, we can secretly develop in the Death Spirit Domain, annexing other powers, and ultimately unify the Death Spirit Domain. At that time, we could even contend with surrounding forces like the Guanghan House.”
“Yes, if we can unify the Death Spirit Domain, we would be the supreme beings here. Even the Holy Lord would have no right to govern us.”
“Hmph, govern us? If we obtain all the treasures in the Ancient Ruins, who knows, we might even become a Holy Lord ourselves, hunting in the Heavenly Realm.”
“A Holy Lord? That realm is too distant; I dare not even think about it.”
The two debated as they walked deeper into the cave but found no trace of Jue Xing Tian.
“Eh? Where did Jue Xing Tian go? The signal clearly came from this place just now. This cave is hidden in endless dust; if it weren't for the signal from Jue Xing Tian, we wouldn’t have found it at all. How could he suddenly disappear?”
“There’s a portal over there; let’s go check it out.”
The two powerful figures immediately entered the portal and saw a ruined altar. Next to the altar were three piles of broken powder; other than that, it was empty. After searching for a while without finding anything, they left, showing obvious confusion on their faces.
With the death of the Lord of the Ancient Gods and others, the altar was rendered useless, and the restrictions on the portal had vanished, allowing the two of them to enter as if in an uninhabited realm.
