Martial Master

What shocked them even more was the attitude of the black slave towards Qin Chen. Such a master, in front of this young man, was extremely respectful, clearly a follower of Qin Chen. So what exactly was the identity of this young man?

Was he a prince of the Great Wei Dynasty? Or the son of a top sect or power within the dynasty?

The martial artists who had previously greedily eyed the storage ring in Qin Chen's hand all retracted their gazes, even lowering their heads, fearing to provoke Qin Chen's displeasure, and quietly stepped back.

Even An Bei’s twin demons were killed with a single move; for most people present, being killed by the opponent was likely just a matter of one move.

Feeling the fearful atmosphere around him, the black slave secretly felt pleased.

Following the master is indeed good!

He was certain that if it weren't for Qin Chen gifting him the Celestial Demon Banner, helping him refine it, and teaching him the method to control it, even when he had the Fire Refining Insect before, he wouldn’t have been able to kill a late-stage Wuzong with just one move like he could now.

Moreover, there was no side effect at all when activating the Celestial Demon Banner.

When Qin Chen took the storage ring handed to him by the black slave, two Heavenly Level martial artists in similar martial robes walked out from somewhere within the Black Cult Association. Each of them carried a body and quickly retreated, disappearing from the square.

The square, which originally had two corpses lying on it, was once again clean.

“Young Master, those two earlier were the cleanup personnel of the Black Cult Association.”

Seeing the confusion on Qin Chen's face, the black slave immediately explained.

Qin Chen frowned. When the conflict broke out, the Black Cult Association seemed indifferent, but once the battle was over, they quickly cleaned up the bodies. Even though Qin Chen was used to the cruel law of the jungle, the blatant nature of the Black Cult Association still made him feel quite uncomfortable.

“Let's go gather some information. Once we have the information, we’ll leave here.” Qin Chen said indifferently.

“Yes.” The black slave nodded.

However, before he could lead Qin Chen forward, an old man wearing a black robe approached. The style of the robe was very similar to the standard robes worn by the guards of the Black Cult Association, except for the golden borders on the sleeves, and there was essentially no other difference. Moreover, his chest was embroidered with the symbol of the Black Cult Association.

However, the material of his clothing was far superior to that of the previous martial artists from the Black Cult Association, and the aura he exuded was even more terrifying, clearly another late-stage Wuzong.

After arriving in front of Qin Chen and the black slave, the old man smiled slightly, clasped his hands, and then said, “Are you two friends visiting our Black Cult Association for the first time? I am the steward of the Black Cult Association. I noticed your impressive skills earlier, so I specially invite you to sit in the attic of our Black Cult Association. I wonder what you think?”

As the old man spoke, many martial artists around revealed envious expressions, seemingly admiring Qin Chen for receiving this invitation from the steward of the Black Cult Association.

Hearing the steward's words, Qin Chen vaguely understood the Black Cult Association's intentions. They did not prohibit martial artists from fighting among themselves, clearly looking to discover powerful individuals to recruit.

In this way, the influence of the Black Cult Association would surely snowball and continue to grow.

Of course, there was one prerequisite: the Black Cult Association had to provide something that would attract these experts. Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw people in. Surely the Black Cult Association must have some treasures that would intrigue powerful individuals.

“Hehe, well said, well said.”

The black slave clearly understood that Qin Chen was not familiar with the Black Cult Association. He immediately smiled and said.
