However, Qin Chen did not sense any hostility from the other party, which made him feel much more at ease as he coldly stared back.
Suddenly, the entire Bone River calmed down. Those pitch-black eyes were fixed on Qin Chen, snorting coldly, "Three hundred years ago, it was you who fell into this Death Canyon, no wonder you were able to comprehend the laws of death, so it turns out... hmph!"
The voice was filled with displeasure, sounding like a resentful little wife.
With a whoosh! The deathly aura in the sky suddenly vanished, returning to the initial pitch-blackness, and the entire Bone River also resumed its calmness. However, Qin Chen could sense that the terrifying consciousness had not left and was still nearby.
"Three hundred years ago? You, you actually really know me..." Qin Chen shuddered. The other party had actually recognized him, and one could imagine the shock in his heart. However, if the other party was indeed the master of this Bone River, then it was not surprising that they recognized him from three hundred years ago.
"Chirping away, it’s all my fault for being too careless at the beginning, not recognizing your soul aura. Hmm, your soul aura has changed a lot. I didn’t expect that person’s methods to be so divine, able to change you to such an extent."
The voice murmured, an invisible power focused on Qin Chen, filled with shock: "In just three hundred years, you have already reached the semi-Saint Master level, and your strength is even comparable to some ordinary Saint Masters. No wonder that person chose you back then. Since you have already left here, why are you back?"
"Do you dare to destroy my Nether River? Are you looking to anger me?"
"You're simply too dismissive of me!"
Damn, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so resentful?
Listening to the other party's voice, Qin Chen felt that they were filled with resentment. Moreover, he also discerned that the other party had not recognized him at first; it was only after he had unleashed his thunderous power that they seemed to have recognized his identity, even mentioning that person... Qin Chen’s heart surged with stormy waves, feeling as if he had touched upon a great secret.
"Senior."
Qin Chen immediately restrained his aura and bowed to the unknown presence at the end of the Bone River, saying, "Junior has intruded into the Bone River without permission and has caused offense. I hope senior can forgive me. I did not come to destroy senior's Nether River but rather to find a friend and coincidentally look for my past life’s remains."
Qin Chen spoke respectfully, sensing that the other party harbored no hostility, but clearly was quite displeased with him. It was evident that something had happened three hundred years ago that led to this.
With a high carriage carried by everyone, Qin Chen immediately adopted a respectful attitude, as there was no loss to him.
"Searching for your past life’s remains?"
The voice sounded somewhat speechless: "Your past life’s remains are not here. What are you searching for?"
"Not here?"
Qin Chen was taken aback.
"Hmm? You don't know?"
The voice was surprised: "That’s right. Your past self is completely dead, so naturally, you wouldn’t know the specifics. So, this means I wronged you?"
"No, no, it’s not that. Although it wasn’t your subjective awareness, because of you, I lost years of hard-earned power. Hmph, it all comes down to you."
The voice began to grumble again, filled with dissatisfaction.
Qin Chen was utterly confused. What on earth was the other party talking about?
He forced a smile and said, "Senior, if I offended you back then, please don’t take it to heart. I had no knowledge of what had happened at that time. If possible, I’m willing to compensate for your losses."
"Compensate? How are you going to compensate?"
"That was the source power I painstakingly cultivated."
"Forget it, forget it. Considering that you were unaware, you cannot be blamed. You may come over."
Buzz! Suddenly, a passage opened in front of the Bone River, and then Qin Chen saw a massive Bone Tower appearing at the bottom of the boundless river of bones. This ancient tower was rooted in the riverbed, magnificent and standing at the end of the Bone River, deep within the Death Canyon.
