Martial Master

“It's not necessary to rely solely on Tian Gong; if he can work with Tian Gong, that would be best. If not, then the Star God Palace and other forces are also good alternatives. However, I feel that although Qin Chen is Ji Ruyue's husband, it's said that Ji Ruyue only ascended from a lower plane. Qin Chen is most likely Ji Ruyue's husband from that lower realm; how much affection could they have?” Ji Tianqi smiled and said, “Perhaps during this martial arts contest for marriage, he might take a liking to Xinyi instead.”

“I hope so,” Ji Tianyao nodded.

At their level, women and partners were like clothing, not taken to heart at all. Only strength was their sole pursuit.

While the two were conversing, they looked towards where Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was located, observing the crowds of various forces coming and going, they couldn't help but feel astonished by the connections one could have when aligned with Tian Gong.

At the same time, they felt a bit anxious about their decision to offer Ji Ruyue to the Xiao Clan. Would there be any problems?

“Eh? Why hasn't Qin Chen been seen for a long time?” Ji Tianyao suddenly frowned and commented.

Ji Tianqi was puzzled, “Since we entered, Qin Chen has been absent. Let me ask someone.”

Ji Tianqi raised his hand, immediately calling over a disciple who was guarding the scene to inquire.

As they spoke, Ji Tianqi’s expression darkened, and he angrily scolded, “He's been missing for such a long time? Why aren't you searching for him? A bunch of useless people!”

Ji Tianyao frowned and asked, “What happened?”

“Ancestor, my subordinate said that after we left, Qin Chen disappeared. He tried to head towards our Ji family's rear courtyard, and after being blocked, the clan members said that the kid vanished the moment they weren’t paying attention.”

Cold sweat broke out on Ji Tianqi's forehead.

Ji Tianyao's expression turned grim. “Vanished? How could a living person suddenly disappear? He wouldn’t have stumbled into our Ji family's rear courtyard, would he?”

“Impossible! Our Ji family's residence is filled with ancient clan arrays; even if that kid were to intrude, he would be detected immediately, and clan members would report it right away...”

“No, we need to issue an order for the clan members to investigate thoroughly.” Ji Tianyao said sternly.

He was feeling a bit guilty because Ji Ruyue and Ji Wuxue were being held in the Hell Mountain behind their Ji family.

After issuing the order, Ji Tianyao and Ji Tianqi immediately approached Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable. Ji Tianqi smiled and said, “Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable Hall Master, my Ji family’s martial arts contest for marriage is about to begin. May I ask where the Young Hero Qin Chen has gone? Why hasn't he appeared for such a long time?”

“Qin Chen?”

As soon as he spoke, the Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord immediately exchanged glances, their eyes glinting with cold light.

The person brought here by Tian Gong for marriage was actually that Qin Chen.

The two exchanged glances, both revealing a cold light in their eyes. They were already very familiar with the name Qin Chen. When the human race's Heavenly Realm's Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion's forbidden area opened, they had sent their own venerables to investigate, but all their venerables had vanished without a trace, except for Qin Chen, who had walked out alive from that forbidden area.

This was just on the surface; secretly, a clone of the Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord had also been obliterated in the forbidden area of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion.

Later, both the Star God Palace and the Great Universe Mountain had also sent their venerables to the Eastern Heavenly Realm's Palace of the Vast Cold to find Qin Chen, but the two venerables sent by their two great forces had also vanished without a trace.

When it came to information about Qin Chen, the Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord understood much better than any other heavenly venerable present.
