Martial Master

The black slave saw the incoming figure and quickly snorted, standing in front of Qin Chen, coldly staring at the frail middle-aged man rushing towards them.

The frail middle-aged man seemed to sense the killing intent emanating from the black slave, but instead of slowing down, he actually accelerated.

Just as he was about to reach Qin Chen and the black slave, he suddenly stopped, took out a storage ring, and quickly tossed it into Qin Chen's hand. He then coldly scoffed at the two Martial Zong chasing him, saying, "I know you want to take what I have, but I would rather give it to others than let you have it."

After saying this, he turned and swiftly maneuvered around Qin Chen and the black slave, then shot towards the outside of the Black Cultivation Association, clearly intending to leave.

The black slave was stunned. What does this mean? Being chased, he didn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of his pursuers, but instead threw it to a stranger nearby. Could such a fortunate event also happen to Young Master Chen?

However, a cold smile crept onto Qin Chen's lips.

This guy is using a clever tactic to divert attention, clearly trying to draw the attention of those two to himself and the black slave.

The storage ring evidently had restrictions; even Qin Chen couldn’t break a Martial Zong's restrictions in an instant to probe its contents.

But Qin Chen was certain that although he didn't know what was in the storage ring, it absolutely wouldn’t contain the items those two Martial Zong wanted.

However, the frail Martial Zong’s ploy had clearly succeeded.

After hesitating for a moment, one of the two Martial Zong pursuing the frail man immediately chased after him, while the other, a peak mid-stage Martial Zong, appeared right in front of Qin Chen and the black slave.

Before he could speak, a thick killing intent erupted from him, his gaze coldly fixating on the storage ring in Qin Chen's hand, with no attempt to conceal the severe murderous intent.

The commotion attracted the attention of many onlookers around, who all turned to watch.

These people showed no signs of surprise or astonishment in their eyes, clearly indicating that such fights were commonplace in the Black Cultivation Association and not at all unusual.

Moreover, Qin Chen noticed that many around were gazing at the storage ring in his hand with greedy expressions. Several martial artists seemed eager to act but hesitated, deterred by the peak mid-stage Martial Zong blocking Qin Chen and the black slave.

Qin Chen quickly understood that although entering the Black Cultivation Association required paying true stones, there was no strict management inside, and fighting was not prohibited. In fact, killing here would go unchecked; otherwise, after so long, a manager from the Black Cultivation Association would have shown up.

"Black slave, we should hurry and gather information," Qin Chen said, losing interest in watching further.

"Wait, you two cannot leave." The peak mid-stage Martial Zong blocking them coldly spoke.

He glanced at the black slave in front of Qin Chen, then at Qin Chen, and said, "Hand over the storage ring, and leave behind fifty low-grade true stones, and you two can go."

His tone was icy, almost as if giving an order.

Qin Chen was momentarily stunned, finally regaining his composure after a while, coldly laughing, "Why should I?"

This peak mid-stage Martial Zong was truly arrogant, wanting the storage ring from that man was not too excessive, but to further demand fifty low-grade true stones from him was utterly excessive.

The black slave released a chilling aura.

The peak mid-stage Martial Zong frowned and said, "That storage ring should originally belong to my An Bei twin brothers, as for the fifty low-grade true stones, it's compensation for the losses incurred. If it weren't for you two appearing here, I would have long been on the trail of that guy."

Qin Chen sneered. What reason is this? Just because we appeared here, we owe him true stones? If these two wasted their time, shouldn’t he compensate them too?
