Martial Master

Qin Chen sneered. The Evil Stone Venerable was truly unrestrained; if Qin Chen didn't know that this guy was one of the Demon Tribe’s spies, he might have thought the Evil Stone Venerable was remarkably upright.

“What do you think you are? Does this master need your permission to go anywhere?”

Qin Chen ignored the Evil Stone Venerable and directly laughed coldly.

“You…” The Evil Stone Venerable trembled with anger, never expecting that Qin Chen would speak to him in such a manner. This kid was far too disrespectful to his seniors.

“Is that not the case?” Qin Chen replied lightly. “Although I am a disciple of Tian Gong, I am not your subordinate. As for where I go, that is my personal matter. I have the right to go wherever I please. As for neglecting the esteemed Ancient Craftsman Venerable, it was only because I didn’t know he would arrive so soon. Otherwise, I would have certainly been there to welcome him.”

“Yet here you are, reprimanding me in front of the esteemed Ancient Craftsman Venerable, trying to pin a crime on me. What is the meaning of that?”

Qin Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the Evil Stone Venerable. “Not to mention that it was I who discovered the matter regarding Venerable Wind Return and Elder Gu Xu being spies of the Demon Tribe. The reason for my disappearance these past two days was also an attempt to track Elder Gu Xu and capture him directly.

But you, after Elder Gu Xu fled, stayed here comfortably and instead tried to frame me. That makes me suspect whether Elder Gu Xu’s disappearance has something to do with you. Could it be that you are also one of the Demon Tribe’s spies?”

Qin Chen laughed coldly again.

“You… are slandering me.”

The Evil Stone Venerable never expected that his attempt to show off in front of the Ancient Craftsman Venerable would lead to being accused of being a spy of the Demon Tribe. In fact, due to Qin Chen’s actions, he did have thoughts of sowing discord in front of the Ancient Craftsman Venerable, but he never imagined that Qin Chen would be so ruthless.

“Is that not the case?” Qin Chen laughed coldly. “You and I have no grudges and no conflicting interests. Furthermore, I have found the spies of the Demon Tribe for Tian Gong, so logically, you should be grateful to me. Yet the reality is quite the opposite; instead of being thankful, you directly try to frame me. How can I not be suspicious?”

“The esteemed Ancient Craftsman Venerable, do not listen to this kid’s nonsense. My subordinate merely feels that this person knew you were coming but did not wait here and instead disappeared mysteriously. So that’s why…” The Evil Stone Venerable spoke with a trembling voice, panic overtaking him.

He was truly anxious. Because this Qin Chen, he didn’t even know how he managed to casually reveal his true identity—it was as if he had seen a ghost.

If this were to be investigated, he could not withstand such scrutiny.

A group of people looked at the Ancient Craftsman Venerable with trepidation.

They saw the Ancient Craftsman Venerable with a blank expression, lost in thought, when suddenly he burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, it is said that Qin Chen is sharp and domineering, with a righteous aura. Today, upon seeing you, it is indeed so. I did not expect that our Tian Gong would gain such a remarkable talent. Although this vice hall master had heard of you before, I was somewhat skeptical. Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved.”

The Ancient Craftsman Venerable laughed heartily, standing up.

Boom! As the Ancient Craftsman Venerable stood up, the entire palace seemed to tremble, and the world shook. Looking closely, one could see countless illusions appearing in the Ancient Craftsman Venerable’s robe, faintly revealing many cosmic paths. But in the blink of an eye, the robes returned to being merely robes, as if they were a mirage, difficult to see through.

Just by standing, the Ancient Craftsman Venerable made everyone feel he was broader and more magnificent than the void of the Myriad Races Battlefield.
