Martial Master

Qin Chen must first understand the situation.

He looked up and happened to see Jin Rongtian and other half-step Saint Masters chasing after Wu Ling and the others towards the Yaochi Sacred Land.

"It’s Wu Ling and her group."

Qin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw outside the Yaochi Sacred Land, Wu Ling and the other Holy Maidens from Guanghan Palace, all covered in blood and in a desperate situation, drawing closer to the Yaochi Sacred Land. Inside the Yaochi Sacred Land, there was a thirty-three-layered illusion formation set up by the Palace Master, which, although unable to withstand Saint-level powers, could shake off half-step Saint Masters like Jin Rongtian.

However, Jin Rongtian and the others were veteran half-step Saint Masters from Guanghan Mansion; how could they not know the secrets of the Yaochi Sacred Land? Naturally, they would not allow Wu Ling and the others to escape into the Yaochi Sacred Land, quickly forming an encirclement.

"Hmph, don’t resist. You can’t escape. Under the hands of so many Lords, you might as well surrender and turn to the light; perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope."

Jin Rongtian said coldly. Previously injured by Wei Siqing, he was covered in blood, with a long gash on his face, looking particularly ferocious.

He let out a roar and unleashed a forbidden technique. In an instant, a terrifying golden rainbow erupted, transforming into a golden palm that viciously grasped at Wu Ling and the others.

"No!"

Wu Ling and the others revealed a look of despair.

Just as they were about to be captured by Jin Rongtian, suddenly, a figure appeared silently beside Jin Rongtian. With a loud bang, Jin Rongtian was knocked unconscious, captured like a chick in a hand.

The originally despairing Wu Ling and her companions were instantly stunned.

Not only them, but the remaining half-step Saint Masters chasing after them also showed expressions of fear, especially when they saw that the figure had actually flown out from the Yaochi Sacred Land, their shock was beyond comprehension.

The Yaochi Sacred Land was a forbidden area of Guanghan Palace; besides the Holy Maidens under the Palace Master, no one could enter, especially not men. This was the reason these veteran half-step Saint Masters were dissatisfied with the Lord of Guanghan Mansion. To their astonishment, a man actually flew out from the Yaochi Sacred Land and knocked Jin Rongtian unconscious with one strike—this was simply unbelievable.

"Who are you? How did you get into the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

An old man immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"Don’t you recognize me?"

Qin Chen scratched his nose. His time in Guanghan Mansion hadn't been long, and although he was famous, many old-timers had no idea what he looked like.

However, Wu Ling and the others were all dumbfounded: "Qin... Qin Chen..." Their faces all showed expressions of wild joy.

"What?! You are Qin Chen?"

The faces of the half-step Saint Masters changed drastically, and they hurriedly wanted to shout out loud, but before they could speak, Qin Chen suddenly raised his hand. Their mouths abruptly froze, and a vast amount of holy essence surged through their bodies. Puff, puff, puff—these renowned half-step Saint Masters in Guanghan Mansion were instantly blasted apart, countless half-step Saint Master Laws crashing around in the void.

"Collect!"

Qin Chen wasted no time, directly pulling the Laws and essence of the fallen into the Qian Kun Creation Jade Plate. Although Qin Chen looked down on them, these essences and Laws were invaluable supplements for the people of Tianwu Continent and even for people like Tu Mo Yu from the Death Demon Tribe.

"Don't be nervous."

Qin Chen softly spoke to Wu Ling and the others, his form swirling as he enveloped them into the Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Yaochi Sacred Land was extremely mysterious, even a Saint Master's divine sense would struggle to penetrate it easily. With Qin Chen's own concealment techniques, he remained undetected.

"Qin Chen, and... Murong Bingyun... how did you two end up here?"
