Martial Master

"Only a little is left."

Although Zhang Han didn't know what Qin Chen was going to do, he still took out the remaining bit of the medicinal package.

After taking a careful sniff, a cold smile appeared on Qin Chen's face.

"You’ve been deceived."

Qin Chen said with absolute certainty.

"What?"

Zhang Han and the others frowned and looked over intently.

"This is not a potion to weaken the Three-Eyed Salamander; it is a beast-attracting potion, typically used to lure blood beasts to appear, and it has no effect on weakening the Three-Eyed Salamander at all." Qin Chen said faintly.

"Are you sure?"

Zhang Han couldn't help but exclaim, his face looking very grim.

"Believe it or not!"

Qin Chen replied.

With his knowledge, it was unlikely that he could be mistaken on this.

"This..."

Zhang Han and Xu Yan exchanged glances, and their expressions turned very ugly.

If what Liu Cheng gave them was indeed just an ordinary beast-attracting potion, then it was not meant to have them hunt the Three-Eyed Salamander, but rather to send them to their deaths.

However, they had no grievances with Liu Cheng; why would he want to do this?

Filled with doubt, all of them felt extremely depressed.

The group soon exited the Xuan Zhong Mountain Range and continued on for over a hundred miles, when a pitch-black city came into view in Qin Chen's line of sight.

Though the Martial City was not large, it had an ancient and weathered aura, exuding a certain imposing presence. "I hope it won't let me down," Qin Chen thought silently. If he couldn't find something to resolve the Hundred Ghost Curse in the Martial City, then he would be in trouble.

To enter and exit the Martial City, one needed to pay a silver coin. Xu Yan and the others were familiar with the process, and after helping the group pay, they entered the city.

Looking at the bustling crowds, Qin Chen privately marveled; just the entrance fees alone must be an astronomical number every day.

Inside Martial City, everyone was dressed in armor or martial robes, each carrying their swords and knives, exuding a remarkable aura.

It was extremely chaotic here; ordinary people rarely relocated to such a place. Not to mention whether it was necessary, just the cost of living was not something an ordinary person could bear.

"Qin Shaoxia, I can't repay you for the life-saving grace you showed earlier. I see you haven't settled down yet; why not come to our Xu family first so we can properly express our gratitude with a banquet," Xu Yan eagerly suggested as they entered Martial City.

"Yes, Qin Shaoxia, it's your first time in Martial City; let us be your guides," Zhang Han added warmly.

Although they didn't know what the Young Hero was doing in Martial City this time, their Xu family had been operating there for many years. Not to mention anything else, they were quite knowledgeable about everything in Martial City.

Qin Chen, being so young yet possessing such cultivation, was undoubtedly a genius from a powerful force in the five nations of the Northwest. Associating with someone like him could only be beneficial, especially since Qin Chen had saved them before; it was only right to express their appreciation.

"That sounds good," Qin Chen nodded.

In fact, when he initially helped Xu Yan and the others, he had such thoughts in mind. After all, he was pressed for time, and having someone assist him would be much more convenient than groping around in the dark.

Seeing Qin Chen agree, the Xu family young lady Xu Yan excitedly clenched her fist.

The Xu family was located in the eastern part of Martial City, and after walking for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived.

This residence wasn't too large, but neither was it small; it could barely be considered a middle-class family, still quite far from a large family, somewhat similar to Zhang Ying's status in the royal capital's aristocracy.

From a distance, they noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the residence, seemingly pointing at something.

"What’s going on? Why are there so many people at the entrance?" Xu Yan and the others looked puzzled and hurried forward.
