By the Soul Lake, Qin Chen smiled at the people present, appearing harmless, like a big boy from the neighborhood with a friendly demeanor and a sunny aura.
However, the other venerables present felt their hair stand on end, cold sweat breaking out on their backs, feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
At the edge of the Soul Lake, the remnants of blood aura still lingered, and the essence of law surrounded the area, reminding everyone of the fierce battle that had occurred here earlier.
The Black Cloud Earth Venerable of the Shadow Demon Clan, although not a Peak Earth Venerable, was quite renowned among the Earth Venerables and was no ordinary figure. Yet, he was directly slain by this young man from the True Dragon Tribe, leaving no remains behind. Who wouldn’t feel a chill?
For a moment, the place fell into a heavy silence.
"Hehe, if no one has lost any treasures, then I guess I’ll be leaving?"
Qin Chen casually said, and seeing no one respond, his figure flickered and suddenly vanished from the spot.
After Qin Chen left, the remaining venerables by the Soul Lake were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with endless shock.
"One move and he killed the Black Cloud Earth Venerable of the Shadow Demon Clan. Are the people from the True Dragon Tribe really this terrifying?"
"Strong, too strong. This person's strength must have reached a terrifying level."
"The Black Cloud Earth Venerable and the Spirit Wind Ghost Venerable thought they could trap that kid from the True Dragon Tribe with some tricks. They probably never expected they were courting death."
Many were whispering among themselves, but there was little sorrow to be found, only schadenfreude.
People from the Demon Tribe were notoriously arrogant. Ultimately, it was because that kid from the True Dragon Tribe had fished up something good from this Soul Lake, attracting others’ ire. If it were any of them who obtained the treasure, they too would face the wrath of the Black Cloud Earth Venerable.
Thus, no one felt pity for the Black Cloud Earth Venerable and the others.
However, they understood well that the Black Cloud Earth Venerable held a significant position among the Shadow Demon Clan. Once the news of his death here spread, that kid from the True Dragon Tribe would surely face a lot of trouble.
But that was beyond their concern.
At this moment, the remaining venerables by the Soul Lake composed themselves and returned to the lake’s edge, starting to fish again.
Qin Chen had caught a mysterious treasure using the little shrimp from the Underworld River. If they did the same, perhaps they could also have similar luck.
As a result, many of the venerables took out their treasures, attempting to use the law chain to send them into the Soul Lake. Who knows, maybe they’d succeed?
Unfortunately, as soon as the living creatures they brought entered the Soul Lake, they turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind, and even the dead items they retrieved sank without a trace.
Inside the endless Dragon Nest, Qin Chen retraced his steps.
"Senior Primordial Ancestral Dragon, this Dragon Nest is…"
Passing by the Dragon Nest, Qin Chen couldn’t help but inquire.
"Hehe, isn’t it magnificent?" The Primordial Ancestral Dragon replied proudly, "This Dragon Nest is where I, the ancestor, cultivated back in the day. It was formed by gathering many Divine Dragon Trees. At its deepest point, there lies a mother material of the Divine Dragon Tree. There’s probably no other Dragon Nest in this world that’s as tyrannical as mine."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon spoke with pride.
"What’s so impressive about it? Isn’t it just a broken nest? Now, aren’t you just hiding in this old rock?" Little Ant muttered.
"Bastard bug, do you want me to roast you?" The Primordial Ancestral Dragon trembled in anger. "This is a Dragon Pearl. Do you even understand what that is? Uncultured bumpkin."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon and Little Ant began to bicker, leaving Qin Chen speechless. After stopping Little Ant, he continued to ask the Primordial Ancestral Dragon about the secrets of this realm.
