Martial Master

Qin Chen nodded, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He wondered how the Primal Universe was faring now and whether everyone was doing well.

He turned to Sikong Zhen and said, “Sikong Zhen, lead the way ahead and show us the location of the passage you used to enter the Black Jade Continent in the Primal Universe. Let’s depart immediately.”

Back then, during the invasion of the Dark Continent into the Primal Universe, there was a passage that linked to the Demon Realm. Now, wanting to return to the Primal Universe, taking that passage would undoubtedly be the fastest way, saving a lot of effort.

The only trouble was that the passage wasn't very sturdy and couldn't accommodate so many powerful beings at once. However, with Qin Chen's current understanding of the path of space, he might be able to resolve this issue.

“Understood!” Sikong Zhen nodded, then looked at Sikong Anyun, “Anyun, I’ll lead the way, and you can explain things to Lord Dark along the way.”

Before Qin Chen could respond, Sikong Zhen's figure flickered, and he had already soared ahead, while Lin Yuan and the others also knew to fly ahead.

Sikong Anyun approached Qin Chen, her voice timid as she said, “Young master.”

At this moment, thinking back to the events in the Demon Realm's Black Jade Continent, even after so long, she still felt as if it was all a dream.

Beside them, the Abyssal Manor Lord glared fiercely.

Damn, what does the Dark Continent's people mean by this?

Under the watchful gaze of this transcendent expert, Sikong Anyun shivered. Just that invisible aura made her feel as if her soul was about to scatter.

Qin Chen frowned at the Abyssal Manor Lord, who stiffened and quickly retracted his aura.

Sikong Anyun hurriedly said, “Everyone, please don’t worry. I was the young master’s maid back on the Black Jade Continent. Now in the Dark Continent, I’m just accompanying the young master for explanations, nothing more.”

Back then, as the Holy Maiden of Sikong, she held herself high above. Yet in front of Qin Chen's group of powerful beings, she didn’t dare to act presumptuously, especially now that Shangguan Wan'er and the others were also present, clearly by Qin Chen's side. Naturally, she didn’t dare to have any improper thoughts.

With her current status, how could she be worthy of the young master? As long as the young master could treat her kindly, she would be satisfied.

Qin Chen glanced at Sikong Anyun, letting out a sigh. How could he not know Sikong Zhen's intentions?

Now the fate of the Dark Clan was in his hands, and Sikong Anyun had once been his maid for a time; clearly, Sikong Zhen wanted to foster a relationship between Sikong Anyun and himself.

He even had the desire to make Sikong Anyun an object of his affection.

Although formally she was just his maid, in some respects, there were also those who said maidservants had their own connections.

But... would he be that kind of person?

That was simply nonsense.

“You lead the way,” Qin Chen said softly.

“Understood.”

Sikong Anyun quickly led everyone forward.

Qin Chen turned and took Sisi’s hand, speaking gently, “Let’s go.”

Sisi smiled sweetly and followed Qin Chen into the air.

Currently, Qin Chen had no other thoughts; he only wanted to return to the Primal Universe as soon as possible to head to the Underworld and help Sisi resolve her injuries.

With their speed, even traversing the entire Dark Continent wouldn’t take much time. After just half an hour, they arrived at a void location within the Dark Continent.

Once they stopped, Sikong Zhen introduced, “Lord Dark, we descended into the Primal Universe from this very spot. However, back then, this passage was extremely weak, and the primordial power of the Primal Universe offers strong resistance to external invading forces. While we under transcendence might enter with some ease, if so many transcendent experts attempt to enter at once, the passage might collapse instantly.”

Qin Chen nodded. This information had already been conveyed to him by Sikong Anyun along the way.
