Qin Chen pondered upon hearing this.
The little girl's implication was that as long as he could control this trace of death aura and thoroughly integrate it into himself, he could completely conceal it. By that time, the God of Death would naturally be unable to track him.
"Youth Master Chen, this is indeed a good plan." Upon hearing this, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "You have obtained the great emperor's source inheritance; others might not be able to control this death aura from the God of Death, but you definitely can. In fact, I was just about to tell you this, but Xiaoxiao beat me to it."
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor showed his eagerness.
"Is that so?"
Qin Chen shot a suspicious glance at the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor. This guy really talks too much after the fact, doesn’t he?
"Xiaoxiao, aren't you from a small village with Dog Boy? How do you know so much?"
At this moment, Qin Chen turned his gaze to the little girl, his eyes flashing.
All along, the abilities the little girl had shown were too extraordinary. If the life and death yin yang eye was a unique talent she possessed, then how did she come to know about this death aura?
Such knowledge could hardly be known by an ordinary transcendent level expert, could it?
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was taken aback and quickly turned to look at the little girl. The little girl was stunned, her brows slightly furrowing, and a hint of confusion gradually appeared in her eyes. "Big brother, I don't know how I know this either. When you asked just now, these things just naturally surfaced in my mind, and I instinctively said them. Xiaoxiao also doesn't know where she heard it from."
The little girl tried hard to think, but no matter how she pondered, she couldn't recall. Instead, a sharp pain surged in her mind, causing her to cry out in pain and instinctively squat down, hugging her head.
A painful expression appeared on her face, her complexion pale as paper, devoid of any blood, as if she were enduring pain that ordinary people could not withstand, bearing burdens that most people were unaware of.
"Youth Master, this girl is definitely not simple; she must have some secrets about her."
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor leaned closer to Qin Chen and whispered.
Qin Chen glanced at him dismissively.
Can't he see it himself?
Whether it was the earlier Mysterious Rusty Sword, the killing intent of the Dead Sea, or the life and death yin yang eye, he could tell that Xiaoxiao was not ordinary.
However, until now, Qin Chen still didn't know Xiaoxiao's background. No matter how he perceived her, Xiaoxiao seemed very ordinary, with no peculiarities about her, but that was precisely what made her most unusual.
A seemingly ordinary girl from an Underworld village could evoke the Mysterious Rusty Sword and the waters of the Dead Sea, yet she was unharmed by its terrifying killing intent?
But it was certain that Xiaoxiao should not harbor any malicious intent towards him; otherwise, he would definitely sense it. Qin Chen was extremely confident in his spiritual sense.
"Alright, Xiaoxiao."
Qin Chen stepped forward and gently hugged the little girl, "If you can't think of it, then don't force yourself. Big brother believes in you; one day, you will remember."
The little girl nodded and leaned weakly against Qin Chen's shoulder, her pair of dark eyes soft and bright, as if they were the clearest and most flawless things in the world.
"Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, you continue on your journey. I remember that the perilous area in the Abandoned Land, Wailing Ghost Ridge, is nearby. You should head there immediately. I'll first enter the Chaotic World to subdue the Underworld Flame Tomb General and others, and quickly find a way to break through and control this trace of death aura. Before that, you must not let the God of Death track you."
After saying this, Qin Chen and the little girl instantly disappeared into the Chaotic World, leaving only the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor standing alone in the outer realm.
