Upon hearing the words of the two, the cloaked figure frowned and said, "So, you mean these people are all planning to buy detoxification pills in Heizhao City, and then go to the Black Death Swamp to try their luck and collect spiritual herbs?"
"Yes!"
The two nodded, their faces showing some embarrassment. It was evident that they too were preparing to try their luck in the Black Death Swamp.
The cloaked figure nodded, his expression somewhat uncomfortable. With so many martial artists gathering here, he wondered if it would affect the θ¦ι΅θ (Ku Yun Zhi) he had previously seen. If the master couldn't obtain the θ¦ι΅θ, then...
Thinking of this, the cloaked figure couldn't help but timidly glance at Qin Chen. Although he had been following Qin Chen for a short time, he understood very well that Qin Chen's purpose in taking him in was for the θ¦ι΅θ. If he couldn't obtain the θ¦ι΅θ, he wouldn't even know if he had the right to stay with Qin Chen.
When Qin Chen wanted to subdue the cloaked figure before, he had shown extreme resistance. Who would have thought that in just a moment, his heart would have undergone such a significant change, even fearing that Qin Chen would drive him away.
Qin Chen naturally didn't know the thoughts in the cloaked figure's heart. He frowned and suddenly said, "Are you two sure that this is the only reason these people are gathering here, just to collect spiritual herbs?"
According to their account, entering the Black Death Swamp had many uncertainties and even the danger of death. If it was merely a gamble, they definitely wouldn't have so many fifth-level Wuzong coming over.
This was clearly illogical.
"Is there anything else you are hiding from us?" The cloaked figure's expression darkened, and a cold aura spread from him.
"No, absolutely not."
The two were so scared that they trembled all over, their faces filled with terror. Then, as if they thought of something, they hurriedly said, "By the way, we heard that a few days ago someone discovered an underground relic in the Black Death Swamp. The relic emitted an astonishing aura of spiritual herbs, and some suspect that it is an ancient relic containing incredible treasures, which is why so many strong practitioners are attracted here."
"Underground relic?"
Upon hearing this, the cloaked figure's face changed drastically. "Which area is that underground relic located in?"
A fierce murderous intent suddenly transmitted from him.
"I really donβt know. We just received the news and hurried over from another place; we haven't even entered Heizhao City yet." The two were so frightened that they were almost crying as they hurriedly explained.
Seeing that he couldn't extract any more information, Qin Chen waved his hand at the two.
As soon as the two saw this and realized they wouldn't even enter Heizhao City, they were scared and turned to leave, quickly disappearing from view.
"Was the underground relic you mentioned the place where you obtained the Blood Spirit Fire?" Qin Chen asked in a deep voice.
"Iβm not sure, but I suspect it could be."
The cloaked figure's face was gloomy, and he was anxious. The place where he obtained the Green Lotus Blood Spirit Fire was an underground relic. It was impossible that there would be two underground relics in this Black Death Swamp.
At this moment, Qin Chen instead calmed down. "If the θ¦ι΅θ has already been taken away, then being anxious is of no use. We should first go into the city and inquire about the news."
"Mm." The cloaked figure nodded.
For now, they could only do that.
With a gloomy expression, the two quickly arrived at the city gate.
Just as they were about to enter the city...
"Step aside."
"All of you, get out of my way."
A furious shout rang out, and then a group of arrogant martial artists suddenly rushed out from the back of the line. This group was riding on blood beasts covered in iron armor, surrounding a young man who appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
The young man rode on a blood-colored wolf-like blood beast. The beast stood at about two meters tall, its fur resembling satin. One of its eyes seemed to have been blinded by a battle knife, leaving a long scar on its face, making it look particularly fierce and terrifying.
