Martial Master

As for the people from Liu Xian Sect, their expressions were even more unsightly, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to burrow into.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Xiang Wentian frowned, asking Qin Chen on the high platform, while exchanging a glance with Mu Lengfeng.

The two of them had actually received news from Xiao Ya and Dongfang Qing, which is why they hastily rushed over from the Da Wei Dynasty. They had heard about Qin Chen.

Especially Xiao Ya, who had recently become the head of the Alchemy Pavilion in the Daqi Kingdom and had broken through to the Fourth Rank Alchemist, shocking both Mu Lengfeng and Xiao Ya's master. Xiao Ya had mentioned that her rapid progress in alchemy was due to Qin Chen's guidance.

Mu Lengfeng wanted to meet the person, which is why he came eagerly. Otherwise, as a steward of the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters of the Da Wei Dynasty, he wouldn't be so proactive in handling this matter.

"I am Qin Chen, honored to meet the two masters," Qin Chen said as he kicked Hua Tiandu aside, smiling and cupping his hands toward the two. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; the people from the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Holy Land had finally arrived.

In fact, these two were indeed called by Qin Chen.

Back in Tiangu City, upon hearing that forces from the Da Wei Dynasty were arriving, Qin Chen immediately became alert and sent a message to Xiao Ya and Dongfang Qing, who were far away in the Daqi Kingdom, urging them to contact higher-ups from the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Holy Land.

Qin Chen understood the mentality of those upper forces too well. If they gained enough advantage, that would be fine, but if anything went awry, conflict was sure to arise.

And indeed, Qin Chen was stalling for time to wait for the people from the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Holy Land to arrive, and they arrived just in time.

With the pressure lifted, Qin Chen smiled and said, "Masters, there's nothing much to it. It's just that the people from Liu Xian Sect insisted on getting into trouble with my Daqi Kingdom and even tried to attack my disciples. I had no choice but to spar with them. Unexpectedly, the people from Liu Xian Sect are all bluster, incapable of withstanding a single blow, making the two masters laugh."

"Making us laugh? What a joke."

Elder Ge Xuan of Liu Xian Sect almost spat out blood; it was his sect that was embarrassed, how could Qin Chen be the one laughing? Unable to hold back his anger, he retorted, "Qin Chen, you merely used some despicable means—what's there to be proud of?"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Chen's eyes as he smiled coldly, "So, does that mean you acknowledge that you just attacked my Daqi Kingdom's disciples?"

Ge Xuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly scolded, "Nonsense."

Then he turned to Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng, saying, "Masters, I, Ge Xuan, respect both of you and the forces behind you, so I assure you that I will not violate the continent's regulations and recklessly attack the Five Kingdoms. However, the grievances between Qin Chen and Liu Xian Sect are just personal matters. This person previously crippled my Liu Xian Sect's disciple in the arena, and Liu Xian Sect cannot let this grudge go. I hope the two of you do not interfere in our affairs; otherwise, even if it reaches the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Holy Land in the Da Wei Dynasty, Liu Xian Sect is not afraid."

Once Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng appeared, Ge Xuan knew that targeting people from the Five Kingdoms was almost impossible. However, it was also utterly impossible for him to let Qin Chen go, so he directly abandoned any plans to deal with the other disciples from the Five Kingdoms and locked onto the grudge between himself and Qin Chen as a personal matter of Liu Xian Sect.

And personal grievances, even if the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Holy Land were broad in their management, could not interfere in such matters.

Xiao Ya's expression changed, and she coldly snorted, "A top sect in Xuanzhou going after a weak young man—what is that supposed to mean?"
