“Sure enough, they have come.”
A cold smile quietly appeared at the corner of Qin Chen's mouth. He couldn't expose himself in Nandu City, but in this wild and desolate mountain area, what was there to fear?
Just as he thought, they came.
Qin Chen felt a hint of excitement in his heart. Zhuge Feng definitely wouldn’t dare to come alone; since he has the courage to appear now, there must be external assistance. It is highly likely that a top expert from the Zhuge family is here, which greatly increases the chances of knowing about the Ji family and the Tongtian Sword Pavilion.
Qingqiu Ziyi suddenly furrowed her brows, sensing an obscure power following them. She had once been a half-step Venerable, an expert pushing for the Venerable realm. Although her cultivation had fallen, her perception of the Heavenly Dao and crises still remained, hence she sensed a slight discomfort in her heart.
This was an instinctive feeling.
“Uncle Ming, Silan, you guys steer the battleship forward and find a remote place. We need to go out for a bit. You don’t need to wait for us; we will catch up soon,”
Qin Chen suddenly smiled and said to Daowang Mu Zhi Feng, “You stay here.”
With Qin Chen's current strength, if a battle were to break out, Daowang Mu Zhi Feng's power was insignificant. Staying here would also facilitate communication between them.
“Going out for a bit?”
Qingxue Silan questioned, puzzled.
Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing's expressions tightened: “Brother Chenqing?
Are the people from the Zhuge family following us?”
“That's right, the people from the Zhuge family are indeed behind us,”
Qin Chen smiled.
“Master, are you going to deal with the Zhuge family’s people by yourselves?
That won’t do.”
Qingxue Silan became anxious immediately, “You don’t understand how powerful the Zhuge family is. Since they are following us, they must be prepared. If you do this…”
Qin Chen gently pat her head and said, “Don’t worry, Master will be fine. Uncle Ming, I’ll leave this to you. Old Mu, you stay here and guard the Qingxue family’s battleship.”
“Understood.”
Daowang Mu Zhi Feng replied respectfully. He wasn’t worried at all about Qin Chen’s safety. The young master had even escaped the pursuit of a Demon Tribe’s Demon Lord; what could a single expert from the Zhuge family do?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Before Qingxue Silan could say more, Qin Chen swiftly left the battleship with Qingqiu Ziyi and You Qianxue, hiding in the void.
On the battleship, Qingxue Silan wore a worried expression, “Will Master be in any danger like this?”
Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing were also deeply moved. They hadn’t expected Qin Chen to face the Zhuge family’s expert alone for the sake of the Qingxue family. This brother Chenqing’s magnanimity made them feel immensely grateful and in awe.
“Hey, Miss Silan, don’t worry. The young master will be fine,”
Daowang Mu Zhi Feng chuckled, appearing quite calm.
In the endless void, after Qin Chen took Qingqiu Ziyi and the others away, they quietly hid in the void. Before long, they saw streaks of light rushing toward them. These individuals were exuding terrifying power, emanating an intimidating aura. Waves of destiny power surged, giving a strong sense of deterrence.
Among these people, a formidable figure, exuding blood energy that soared to the heavens like a blazing sun, was surrounded. His gaze was like thunder, with endless rules swirling around him, perfectly merging with the Heavenly Dao as if he was the Heavenly Dao itself.
Qin Chen could see clearly that behind this person, in the endless void, there was a blazing light suspended, vast and boundless.
Next to him were a group of top-tier experts surrounded by destiny power, including Zhuge Feng, whom Qin Chen had seen before.
“That powerful figure surrounded by blazing sun should be the peak Saint Master of the Zhuge family,”
Qingqiu Ziyi squinted and said.
“Hmm, I can feel it. The strong destiny power indicates that this person is a top expert, even stronger than the peak Saint Master of the Konghai Clan. After all, the Zhuge family’s path of destiny is extremely formidable—destiny is unpredictable, and ordinary people cannot resist it.”
