Martial Master

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Especially the divine phoenix fairy and her companions, who looked utterly bewildered.

Earlier, they had been so tense that their hearts felt like they were about to leap into their throats. But who could have imagined that the situation would take a turn, and in the blink of an eye, the qilin prince actually spared them?

This unexpected turn of events left them feeling inexplicably relieved.

However, upon regaining their senses, they realized they were chilled to the bone, and their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

For such prominent prodigies, to be scared to the point of sweating was something that would cause them to lose face if it got out. Yet, the divine phoenix fairy and the others showed no signs of embarrassment.

Surviving was already extraordinarily difficult.

“My lord, this subordinate is incompetent and has caused you to be alarmed. If the qilin prince had acted, I would have fought to the death to ensure you remained unscathed,” Fei E said as he returned to Qin Chen’s side, his expression respectful and still shaken.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, the qilin prince had held back. Otherwise, if a battle had broken out, he feared he would struggle to defend himself.

“Rest assured, the qilin prince will never take action,” Qin Chen suddenly said with a faint smile.

Fei E was taken aback and looked at him with confusion, “Why do you say that, my lord?”

The divine phoenix fairy and the others also looked over, puzzled about Qin Chen’s reasoning.

Qin Chen smiled but did not explain.

He had already seen through the qilin prince; a person like him, who seemed reckless, was actually extremely cautious and preferred to plan before acting.

Although the qilin divine kingdom was indeed in a position to disregard Fei E,

Fei E was still the inspector of Sikong Sacred Ground, and given his respectful demeanor, the qilin prince would likely not act lightly until he understood the situation.

Only after fully grasping the threat he posed would the qilin prince decide how to deal with him.

Earlier, the qilin prince’s repeated reprimands were aimed at making Fei E and the others panic and reveal their identities. Unfortunately, the divine phoenix fairy and the others were unaware of their identities, and Fei E dared not disclose his own, leading the qilin prince's tactics to backfire.

Qin Chen had seen through such a person long ago.

Not only Qin Chen, but those behind the qilin prince had also already seen through it, which is why they had spoken up, intending to give him a way out.

With a calm expression, Qin Chen ignored the qilin prince and others, walking directly towards the cliffside of Skyreach Peak, the best vantage point to observe the entire Dark Ancestor Land.

“Humph.”

On the other side, the qilin prince gazed at Qin Chen with a sullen expression.

Just as Qin Chen had expected, the qilin prince appeared restrained, not only because he had painstakingly organized this welcoming ceremony for Lady Sikong, which now seemed to be ruined before it even started, but also because he found it difficult to read Qin Chen’s intentions.

Under his scrutiny, Qin Chen arrived before the cliff on Skyreach Peak, gazing into the distance at the Dark Ancestor Land.

Before him, the entire Dark Ancestor Land was shrouded in darkness, hazy and indistinct. However, due to the towering height of Skyreach Peak, Qin Chen was able to observe a large portion of the Dark Ancestor Land.

He saw ancient blood graves rising in the Dark Ancestor Land, each exuding a heart-stopping aura, like stars dotting the darkness.

Following his line of sight, he could see in the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land, a terrifying Dark Source surging, resembling an abyss and sending chills down his spine.

Qin Chen focused, his gaze penetrating the endless vacuity, feeling a chilling presence within.

He faintly sensed that in the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land, there must be something extraordinary, perhaps even a forbidden existence.
