Martial Master

The expression of the half-step transcendence expert instantly changed. Qin Chen actually intended to keep him here—how could that end well?

Yet, he didn't move his feet any further. He had witnessed Qin Chen's terrifying power; once Qin Chen made a move against him, where could he escape?

"Very well."

Qin Chen glanced at the crowd and said, "Now, can anyone tell me what happened here earlier? Where did the distant path divine sovereign and the others go?"

The crowd exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak up.

Qin Chen's gaze fell on the person who had attempted to leave earlier, and he said calmly, "You go first."

"I..."

The man felt a surge of panic. At this moment, he regretted stepping forward earlier. However, there was no other way out; based on Qin Chen's displayed strength, he could kill him in an instant.

He could only comply and step forward. Just as he was about to answer, he was interrupted by Qin Chen.

"Wait."

After saying this, Qin Chen raised his hand, and a formation rune immediately appeared, quickly enveloping the two of them.

"This young master will question you individually later. If I find anyone lying or deceiving me, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, Qin Chen closed the formation rune and said to the man, "Now you can speak."

The man forced a bitter smile and began explaining from the start.

"...After Miss Fang Mu Ling left, the demon god of chaos used a secret technique to buy her more time, which is how he managed to stop the distant path divine sovereign and the transcendent experts from the Dark Clan. However, he was heavily injured in the process and almost got trapped here. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the demon god of chaos unleashed an annihilation thunder, breaking the binding formation set by the distant path divine sovereign, allowing him to escape. Otherwise, he would have surely died."

As he spoke, the man secretly watched Qin Chen. At this point, he realized that Qin Chen was likely related to the Abyssal Manor, so he discreetly directed his words towards the demon god of chaos.

"Annihilation thunder, what is that?"

"Annihilation thunder is a top-tier treasure developed by the war department of Abyssal Manor, containing powerful annihilation force. When it detonates, its power is enough to severely injure a transcendent master. It is quite a terrifying treasure in the Southern Thirteen Star Domain. If it weren't for the distant path divine sovereign and the dark transcendence joining forces, the void here would have been trapped long ago; such a treasure could have heavily injured the distant path divine sovereign, and even we onlookers might have perished here."

As he spoke, a hint of trepidation appeared on his face.

"What happened next?" Qin Chen asked.

The man continued, "After the demon god of chaos broke the bindings with the annihilation thunder, he was already heavily injured. Hence, he did not pursue the victory but fled immediately. The distant path divine sovereign and the dark transcendence pursued him to prevent any future troubles, leaving the previous person behind to guard this place, waiting for Celestial Pole King and the others to return with Miss Fang Mu Ling. Of course, another reason for their presence was to keep an eye here to prevent us from taking any treasures."

At this point, a hint of resentment showed on the man's face, clearly dissatisfied with the actions of the distant path divine sovereign and his group. However, no one expected that beneath the Void Divine Fruit Tree, there was indeed a Spatial Divine Pulse. Unfortunately, the void power surrounding the Void Divine Fruit Tree hindered everyone's exploration. Otherwise, before Qin Chen arrived, they probably would have already seized that Spatial Divine Pulse.

"Alright, you can leave now. After I finish questioning the others, you can go."

After Qin Chen inquired about the direction the demon god of chaos and others had left, he opened the formation rune, allowing the man to exit first.
