"People from the black market? Why have people from the black market come to our camp of wandering cultivators?" A voice rumbled deeply, belonging to an Earth Venerable, hidden within layers of mist. His figure was faintly visible, and with his every breath, it seemed as if the very void of heaven and earth was ablaze.
"Who knows? The Kekala tribe is a neutral race. However, our wandering cultivator camp is not a place they can come and go as they please."
Another Earth Venerable snorted coldly, "Speaking of which, is that young man from the Yalong tribe really the person that the Kekala tribe's Earth Venerable was looking for?"
"It shouldn't be him. This Yalong tribe member doesn't seem to have any serious injuries, and although his strength is formidable, he is in no way comparable to the experts of the Kekala tribe. If the Kekala tribe's expert were chasing him, he couldn't have come out unscathed."
The expert from the Pangu tribe spoke in a deep voice.
These Earth Venerables were leaders within the wandering cultivator camp. Although they hadn't taken any action when the black-clothed Earth Venerable was pursuing Qin Chen, it didn't mean they weren't paying attention.
For someone to be pursued so relentlessly by an Earth Venerable of their level, and for that person to cause such fury, there must be some secret about him.
"If it's not him, then who else could it be?"
The Earth Venerable from Jiufeng had a cold gaze. "We've secretly urged the Golden Bull Demon and others to investigate thoroughly within the camp, especially probing newcomers, but so far, we've found nothing."
"Could it be that the person the black-clothed Earth Venerable was pursuing hasn't entered our camp?"
Each leader was filled with doubt.
"There's a possibility."
"Unfortunately, the jade slip with the registration records was shattered by that Kekala tribe fellow. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
Voices echoed continuously inside the camp tent.
"Forget it. The day when the Myriad Phenomena Divine Vault opens is near. We should focus on guarding this place," the Pangu tribe expert said indifferently, before disappearing with a boom.
In an instant, these presences dissipated.
"Damn it!"
The Earth Venerable from Jiufeng's gaze was cold. The other leaders decided not to pursue further, but the Golden Bull Demon, whom he supported, was humiliated by that Yalong tribe youngster. The failure had caused him to lose face.
"Where did this Yalong tribe expert come from?"
The Jiufeng Earth Venerable was filled with anger. His relationship with the Bull Demon tribe was extraordinary, so he supported the Golden Bull Demon.
In this camp of wandering cultivators, all the Earth Venerables were under the control of the Human Alliance. They came from different races, serving as leaders here, partly to accumulate connections for their own tribes and partly to earn merit.
Every leader supported a particular expert, all for the sake of interests.
During the investigation of the person pursued by the Kekala tribe, others faced no problems, but the Golden Bull Demon, whom he supported, was dealt a heavy blow. Not only did it affect his prestige in the camp, but it also would be a huge embarrassment if the Bull Demon tribe found out.
"Yalong tribe!"
The gaze of the Jiufeng Earth Venerable was filled with endless coldness.
Within the camp of wandering cultivators...
"Look, that's the Yalong tribe youngster who humiliated the Golden Bull Demon."
"It seems we have another fierce figure in our camp."
"To humiliate the Golden Bull Demon like that, this person must have extraordinary strength."
"But, it's odd. I haven't heard anything about this person, yet he dares to act so ruthlessly against the Golden Bull Demon. Isn't he afraid of offending the leaders in the camp?"
"I heard that every troublemaker in this camp actually has a leader backing them."
As Qin Chen walked through the camp, all the wandering cultivators whispered about him, eyes filled with awe, avoiding him by a wide berth.
On the battlefield of myriad races, strength was respected. An expert from the Yalong tribe who could deal with the Golden Bull Demon was not to be provoked lightly.
