Martial Master

When Qin Chen carefully observed the restrictions on the altar, he was immediately taken aback.

The restrictions were extremely obscure, clearly belonging to ancient times. At first glance, they gave him a dizzy feeling.

"What a terrifying restriction!"

Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart. He released his mental energy and examined it closely.

In his previous life, Qin Chen was a master of formations, with astonishing attainments in restrictions. Coupled with the Nine Star Divine Emperor Technique he cultivated in this life, his true qi sensitivity surpassed that of his previous life, making his comprehension of restrictions even stronger.

This was also the reason he was able to break through the various true symbol restrictions on Qin Feng despite his insufficient cultivation level.

While Qin Chen was deciphering the restrictions, outside the jade building, Ge Pu and the others were still waiting.

"Master, it's been almost half a stick of incense since Qin Chen went in. Logically, he should have failed the assessment by now. Why hasn’t he come out yet?"

"Yes, without the bloodline of our Ge family, he should be eliminated soon. Why do we not see him yet?"

"This kid can’t really pass the assessment of our ancestors, can he?"

Seeing that Qin Chen had not come out even after half a stick of incense, several elders couldn't sit still.

"Don't worry," Ge Pu sneered, "This place is our Ge family's ancestral shrine's forbidden ground. Even if Qin Chen is talented, he won't pass the ancestor's assessment. The reason he hasn’t come out is either that he just started the assessment, or he has already failed and is reluctant to leave, hoping to take something away. However, the jade building of our Ge family's ancestral shrine is a complete entity. Even if Qin Chen racked his brains and used all means, he won't be able to pry off a piece of jade."

"Moreover, if the assessment formation set up by the ancestors detects a non-clan member entering for assessment, it will retaliate and subtly harm the assessor. Qin Chen will definitely pay a price for this."

Saying this, a cold smile appeared on Ge Pu's face.

It was not so easy to extort from their Ge family.

At this time, outside the capital of the Da Qi Kingdom.

A team of several people had already arrived at the city gate.

"Master, this is the capital!" one of them said respectfully to the leading elder.

"The capital, heh heh, the capital!"

The elder had gray hair and a wrinkled face, but his eyes shone with a sharp brilliance, exuding an indescribable dominance and power.

He chuckled twice, murmuring to himself, with a profound meaning in his gaze.

Behind him were several middle-aged men, all with extraordinary aura. Just standing there gave a feeling of being as lofty as mountains, making people look up to them.

Clearly, they were extremely top-tier experts.

"Let's go."

The group swaggered toward the passage in the middle of the city gate.

"Who are you? Stop and accept inspection."

Several city guards who were checking the team frowned and immediately stepped forward.

"Get lost!"

A steward-like servant's brows furrowed at the sight of someone approaching, and he immediately shouted coldly.

"Presumptuous! Do you know where this is? You still refuse to accept inspection!"

The city guards were furious. This was the capital of the Da Qi Kingdom, the political center.

These city guards may have a low status, but they held power over the capital's gate.

Normally, even high-ranking officials from other regions had to obediently accept inspection, yet these few were so bold, it was simply lawless.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the city guards, a middle-aged man behind the elder coldly snorted. His eyes burst forth with a fierce light, and an astonishing pressure descended upon the city guards like a great mountain.

The city guards felt as if their feet were sinking, their legs felt as if they were stuck in cement, and they could hardly breathe.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the city gate?"

The commotion attracted the attention of other city guards nearby, who rushed over.
