The Earth Venerable expert was shrouded in a pitch-black cloak, making it impossible to discern which clan he originated from. However, his aura undoubtedly indicated that he was a genuine Earth Venerable master.
"Which one?"
Qin Chen furrowed his brows. From the murmurs of the cloaked figure earlier, he discerned that the person was likely following someone else's orders to track him down, with the intent of repaying a favor.
Could it be someone from the black market?
Qin Chen felt some doubts.
Logically speaking, if it were someone from the black market tracking him, given the black market's power, there would be no need to dispatch anyone; the black market's ability to establish such a formidable force in the dark universe was not to be underestimated. Not to mention an Earth Venerable, even if a Heaven Venerable were summoned, Qin Chen would not be surprised in the slightest.
However, due to the rare appearances of Heaven Venerables on the battlefield of ten thousand clans, it was extremely difficult to encounter one.
The person in front of him was wrapped in a cloak, but based on the information transmitted through the monitoring array, Qin Chen had some doubts about whether this person was indeed sent by the black market.
But if it wasn't sent by the black market, then who was it sent by?
Qin Chen pondered in silence, unable to deduce the true identity of the person.
"Regardless of whether this person is sent by the black market or not, following me in secret and having discovered what happened in the valley, this person certainly does not have good intentions."
Qin Chen could not afford to think too much; he swiftly dodged into the void and quickly sped deeper into the battlefield of ten thousand clans.
His heart was incredibly cold, and various methods floated through his mind as he contemplated how to evade the pursuit.
Currently, Qin Chen could not go to the Wala tribe's camp. Firstly, the other party knew his identity as the commander of the Wala tribe. If he returned there, this person would undoubtedly take the risk and storm into the camp to capture him. Given the current strength of the Wala tribe, even if the entire army was mobilized, they would still be unable to withstand an Earth Venerable expert.
Although there were other insect tribe camps nearby, the insect tribes were not particularly friendly with each other; there was intense competition among the clans. By the time other insect tribes received the news and reported it to their higher-ups to decide on a rescue, this person would likely have already slaughtered the Wala tribe's army and suppressed him.
He could not go to the insect tribe camp, and he presently did not possess any identity tokens from other clans. If he rushed in recklessly, he would undoubtedly be captured as a spy.
Unless he infiltrated the human clan's camp and exposed his identity as a human.
However, doing so would completely expose his identity. He did not yet know the identity of the person pursuing him. If they discovered that Qin Chen was human and could deceive the Wala tribe, they could deduce certain things. Most importantly, if the news reached the ears of the Demon Ancestor, Qin Chen would truly be in danger.
In the Four Great Heavenly Realms, that was still considered the human rear. It would not be easy for the Demon Ancestor to kill him there. However, if the Demon Ancestor learned that he had come to the battlefield of ten thousand clans and dispatched Demon experts to surround and kill him, unless Qin Chen could remain in the camp of a top human force, he would find it difficult to escape death.
Thus, he absolutely could not go to the human clan's camp, and Qin Chen must not expose his identity as a human.
But was there any other way?
What about hiding in the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate?
The Qiankun Creation Jade Plate was a small world, one dust particle equating to one world, one leaf equating to one Bodhi.
Although Qin Chen could enter the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate and hide within this realm of void, he still did not know the function of the black crystal ball in the other party's hand and how it could lock onto him.
