Martial Master

Qin Chen let out a cold laugh, the other party was already unable to contain their eagerness.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look together."

The three exchanged glances in secret, and only then did the Lord of Guanghan nod, "If this truly is the entrance to the ancient heavenly court's Refiner forces, then we will have taken a great leap forward."

As they spoke, Qin Chen and the others flew up one after another, heading toward the massive spatial fracture.

The Lord of Yonghe and the Lord of Lingxue displayed expressions of anticipation as they followed behind. As they did so, it seemed they subtly formed an angle that cut off the retreat path for Qin Chen and the others.

The Lord of Guanghan and the Saint Master of Yaoguang's eyes narrowed. With their cultivation, how could they not see the intentions of the two? Just as Qin Chen had said, these two harbored ulterior motives, clearly intent on killing them.

An endless killing intent surged in their hearts.

Initially, they had some doubts about their calculations.

But now, Qin Chen's thoughts had been completely confirmed.

The attention of the two immediately focused, with powerful soul forces emanating outwards. They had both received the baptism of the World Demon Tree and had also integrated Qin Chen's soul techniques. Their soul power, compared to an average mid-stage Saint Master, was significantly stronger. Upon closer inspection, they immediately spotted some clues.

"Indeed, this restriction looks very ancient, but it bears signs of being deliberately aged. Moreover, the surrounding space seems to have been artificially arranged, yet it is done with great cunning. If we hadn't already begun to suspect, it would have been difficult to discover in a short time."

The Saint Master of Yaoguang was secretly shocked; the means used to age it were quite formidable, even making it hard for him to discern. Such methods could even deceive mid-stage Saint Masters.

With the strength of the Lord of Yonghe and the Lord of Lingxue, it was absolutely impossible for them to have done this.

"It really is the work of Yao Mie Fu."

Boom! Although the three were alert in their hearts, their faces showed no signs, and they still excitedly moved forward, quickly sensing the ancient restriction before them.

This restriction was exceedingly lifelike; if it weren't for the Saint Master of Yaoguang being prepared, it would have been impossible to discern.

However, with a watchful eye, they still managed to identify some flaws.

"Qin Chen, what should we do next?"

The Saint Master of Yaoguang and the Lord of Guanghan unexpectedly turned to Qin Chen for advice, instinctively regarding him as their pillar of support, something neither of them had anticipated.

"Act casually, pretend to break the restriction, but don’t you feel the abnormality in the surrounding space?"

Qin Chen asked.

Abnormality in the space?

The two casually scanned the surrounding void, and suddenly their gazes froze in confusion. "Are you referring to the spatial layer behind the ruins on the left?"

"It seems a bit unnatural there."

"Exactly, you finally noticed. A mid-stage Saint Master from Yao Mie Fu is actually hiding in there."

Qin Chen said lightly.

"What?"

The Lord of Guanghan and the Saint Master of Yaoguang were both taken aback. Someone was hiding within that ruined space, and they hadn't even realized it.

It must be noted that although they had just broken through to mid-stage Saint Master, in terms of soul perception, they were absolutely not inferior to seasoned mid-stage Saint Masters.

"This is quite normal. This person should possess some powerful spatial treasure that merges his presence with the spatial fracture, concealing himself very cleverly without any killing intent leaking out. It's understandable that you didn't perceive him."

"Qin Chen, you noticed?"

The Saint Master of Yaoguang spoke in disbelief.

Qin Chen calmly chuckled, "Of course. If I'm not mistaken, the one hiding in there is the Jiu You Saint Master, one of the three mid-stage Saint Masters of Yao Mie Fu. This person possesses Jiu You power and has unique attainments in the Spatial Law. He is lying in wait in that spatial ruin, brewing his ultimate killing intent."
