Boom!
Sikong Zhen's overwhelming aura surged out, striking against the supreme magic formation.
Crash!
On the supreme magic formation, terrifying auras surged, and a rolling power permeated, exuding a heart-stopping force as numerous dreadful prohibitive runes burst forth.
These prohibitive runes were all written in large characters, complex and profound, as if they contained the highest principles of the universe, radiating glory and the power of decay and rebirth.
Even Sikong Zhen felt a hint of trepidation.
This was the defensive supreme magic formation of the Linyuan Sacred Gate, and its power was naturally extraordinary. Even someone as strong as Sikong Zhen wouldn't dare to force his way in. Once trapped inside, being attacked by the strong individuals within the Linyuan Sacred Gate would surely be dangerous.
"Damn it."
Sikong Zhen felt apprehensive but didn't dare to lose face in front of Qin Chen.
Meanwhile, an invisible eye began to blossom in the center of Qin Chen's forehead, unbeknownst to anyone, it was the eye of creation.
Under the gaze of the eye of creation, the various powers within the Linyuan Sacred Gate became utterly clear to Qin Chen.
"Hehe." Qin Chen suddenly chuckled, as he discerned something.
Beside him, Sikong Zhen, unable to hold back his impatience, was about to take action when he was stopped by Qin Chen.
"My lord." Sikong Zhen quickly turned his head.
"Hehe, let’s go." Qin Chen said with a smile.
"But that token is still there..." Sikong Zhen hurriedly replied.
Qin Chen waved his hand, "No rush. Since the other party is putting on such an act, it’s evident that they don’t want to see us. If you force your way in, it will only escalate the situation. Just follow me."
As soon as his voice fell, his figure flickered, turned around, and vanished.
"Hmph." Sikong Zhen glanced at the Linyuan Sacred Gate, waved his sleeve, and angrily followed Qin Chen away.
As the master of Sikong Sacred Ground, it was indeed the first time he had faced such humiliation.
After Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen left, the venerable guard stood up with trepidation, turned around, and returned to report.
In a vast void outside the Linyuan Sacred Gate.
Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen's figures suddenly appeared.
"My lord, although the Linyuan Sacred Gate has an ordinary relationship with our Sikong Sacred Ground and usually has little interaction, this time is exceptionally strange. I am the power holder of the Sikong Sacred Ground, and at the very least, the Linyuan Supreme should come out to meet me."
"However, after I spoke previously, not a single high-level figure from the Linyuan Sacred Gate has come, which is certainly suspicious."
As soon as Sikong Zhen appeared, he spoke anxiously: "What do you mean by closed-door retreat? Hmph, at our level of cultivation, breaking through is not easy; even if one is in closed-door retreat, they can awaken at any time. How could they be unable to even come out? There must be something amiss."
Sikong Zhen kept speaking; this time, he was genuinely angry.
Qin Chen's gaze flickered, and he said lightly, "Sikong Zhen, don’t be anxious. Do you think I don't know these things? However, since the other party doesn't want to see you, even if you shout further, it probably won’t yield good results. Even if they send someone to meet you, what can be discussed?"
"So, my lord, what do you mean?"
"Instead of shouting here, it’s better to go directly in and see what the Linyuan Sacred Gate is up to!"
The dark token from the Linyuan Supreme was something Qin Chen had to obtain.
"Directly in? But there’s a supreme magic formation outside the Linyuan Sacred Gate; it’s feared that..." Sikong Zhen shook his head bitterly.
"There’s no need to worry about that. Do you have any acquaintances among the high-level figures in the Linyuan Sacred Gate? Someone with a good relationship?" Qin Chen changed his tone.
"High-level?" Sikong Zhen squinted his eyes, "There is indeed one. There are four great protectors beneath the supreme level in the Linyuan Sacred Gate, each of whom is a supreme expert. One of these protectors has a good relationship with our Sikong Sacred Ground."
