“It's nothing.”
Qin Chen waved his hand, his divine sense sweeping the surroundings, and a joyful expression immediately appeared on his face, “The void outside the Qian Kun Creation Jade Plate has been greatly reduced. We should be able to leave now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen immediately used the Law of Fate to calculate the position of the Soul Demon Venerable.
However, as he calculated, his expression suddenly changed.
“Not right!”
He couldn't help but exclaim.
“Chen, what’s wrong?” Qian Xue asked in confusion.
Qin Chen's face grew serious, “The life aura of the Soul Demon Venerable seems to have disappeared.”
“What?” You Qianxue widened her eyes, how could this be possible?
“The life aura has vanished, could he be dead?” Qin Chen's gaze became heavy as he continued to calculate. No matter how he tried, the life aura of the Soul Demon Venerable indeed disappeared in the river of fate. Moreover, this disappearance was not something that was hidden. If it were hidden, Qin Chen might not be able to sense the other’s existence, but now, he clearly felt that the other’s life aura had vanished.
There was only one explanation for this situation: the Soul Demon Venerable was dead.
How could such a figure be killed?
“Chen, could it be that he faked his death?” You Qianxue frowned, a dignified ancient demon might possess such a technique.
“It's unclear at the moment. Let's go take a look.”
With a serious expression, Qin Chen immediately appeared outside the Qian Kun Creation Jade Plate. The chaotic void no longer posed a strong threat to him and he quickly flew towards the location where the life aura of the Soul Demon Venerable had vanished.
An hour later, Qin Chen stood on a ruined meteorite, gazing at the lingering demonic energy around, his face darkened completely.
“The Soul Demon Venerable is indeed dead; he died right here.” Qin Chen said gravely, frowning.
What he had been worried about earlier was that the Soul Demon Venerable might expose the secrets on him, but now that the other was dead, it was clearly impossible for secrets to be leaked. But who killed him? Generally, a late-stage Saint Master couldn't accomplish such a feat. Could it be a Venerable?
However, Qin Chen couldn't sense the slightest bit of Venerable power in this place.
“Chen, can you calculate who killed the Soul Demon Venerable?” You Qianxue asked, frowning.
“If it's someone I'm not familiar with, it might be a bit troublesome. Even if I can calculate, I can only deduce some rough aura. But I feel that the aura here is quite familiar. Let me try.”
Qin Chen closed his eyes. Within him, the Book of Origin rose, and streams of fate power surged. In front of Qin Chen, the river of fate appeared, and he began to search for clues within it.
After a moment, two blurry figures appeared in the river of fate.
“The one who killed the Soul Demon Venerable is surprisingly related to me and has had contact with my fate. Who could it be?”
Qin Chen was taken aback by how easily he deduced this. Since the other had interacted with him in fate, it meant there was a causal connection, allowing for a clearer and quicker calculation. But who could it be? In the Heavenly Realm, who had a causal connection with him that could kill the Soul Demon Venerable? It seemed there was no one.
Qin Chen opened his eyes wide, trying to see the two figures clearly.
Once he saw them clearly, Qin Chen's mouth fell open in shock.
“Damn, it's those two?”
Qin Chen said in disbelief.
The ones who killed the Soul Demon Venerable were actually Mo Li and Chi Yan Mo Jun.
Qin Chen: “…”
At this moment, You Qianxue also sensed the two figures in the river of fate, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
Were Mo Li and Chi Yan Mo Jun this strong?
Qin Chen pondered, “These two should have used some special means to slay the Soul Demon Venerable and seized his opportunities.”
Within Qin Chen, the Myriad Realms Demonic Tree surged, sensing the demonic power surrounding him, he frowned slightly, “The demonic aura on Mo Li and Chi Yan is so thick, it seems to come from the ancient Demon Tribe. What kind of inheritance did they obtain in the Demon Realm to possess such strength?”
