Qin Chen's killing intent surged as he coldly stared at his opponent. That gaze made it clear that he didn't take the other person seriously at all, which infuriated the man to the point that he wished he could jump up and fight Qin Chen with all his might.
However, he suppressed this urge because he knew that even if he did leap into action, he would not be Qin Chen's opponent. In fact, Qin Chen could easily injure him with a single slap.
He had no choice but to endure.
"What do you mean by that?"
Qin Chen glanced at him, his eyes as disdainful as if he were looking at a stray animal. He said, "If you don't want to die, take out your law chain for me to see!"
Qin Chen approached his opponent.
"Sir, you're being too excessive, aren't you?"
At that moment, a powerful figure beside them spoke up. It was an Earth Venerable, his expression dark as he felt that such arrogance not only insulted the Heavenly Ghost Tribe's expert but also humiliated everyone present.
"Excessive? I don't think so," Qin Chen said, touching his nose as he looked back at the Earth Venerable. "Seeing injustice on the road and drawing my sword to help, I didn't expect your Giant Que Tribe to have such a sense of justice.
It doesn't seem very typical of you. Or is this person your illegitimate child? That doesn't make sense either—how could your Giant Que Tribe give birth to someone from the Heavenly Ghost Tribe? That's quite a heavy flavor."
"You, brat from the True Dragon Tribe, you're strong, but this isn't a place for you to act wildly."
The Earth Venerable from the Giant Que Tribe trembled with rage, his beard nearly bristling in anger, yet the law chain in his hand still extended into the Soul Lake without any rash movements.
"Alright, enough talking."
At this moment, another Earth Venerable spoke in a deep voice, "You just want to know what we're doing. The lake you are looking at contains treasures. As long as you refine your law chain into a rope, you can delve into the Soul Lake and possibly obtain treasures. If you want to retrieve the treasures for yourself, you can simply immerse your law chain; there’s no need to be so aggressive."
"Oh? Fishing for treasures?"
Qin Chen's eyes sparkled. He had already sensed that these individuals were somewhat unusual, and he didn't expect them to be fishing for treasures: "Then why don’t you just enter the Soul Lake to salvage the treasures?"
"Hmph, are you being intentional or are you really clueless?
This Soul Lake is extremely peculiar; anyone who enters will be instantly erased. Previously, someone tried to infiltrate this Soul Lake and ended up turning to nothing, their soul shattered. Don’t even think about entering the lake; even attempting to retrieve the soul water will lead to immediate death. If you are confident in your strength, you can give it a try."
"Is it really that miraculous?"
Qin Chen acted brazenly to target the Heavenly Ghost Tribe’s expert to extract some information from them. Hearing about the wonders of the Soul Lake, he felt a slight shiver in his heart.
Even a fool could sense the terrifying nature of the soul water within this lake, infused with astonishing soul power, certainly worthy of being called a treasure. Generally, anyone coming here would probably first focus on collecting this soul water.
However, Qin Chen now understood that it wasn't that these people didn't want to collect from the Soul Lake, but rather that the Soul Lake was extremely dangerous and utterly uncollectable. This was somewhat similar to the Underworld River.
Because the waters of the Underworld River couldn't be collected either, even corroding Venerables.
However, the Underworld River was immensely vast, while the Soul Lake was much smaller.
"I'll give it a try."
Qin Chen's gaze flickered as he immediately activated the power of the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate. With a hum, Qin Chen felt the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate tremble violently, and in an instant, it seemed as though the lake water of the Soul Lake was about to be collected by Qin Chen.
