Martial Master

This mark is very concealed, and the method used is extremely strange, to the extent that his spiritual power has never detected it.

In fact, when Qin Chen activated the Qinglian Demon Fire to envelop his body earlier, he had faintly sensed something unusual. However, at that time, his attention was focused on the dark red Yin Soul Beast, which led him to overlook it.

Moreover, this mark was left on his sleeve rather than on his body.

"What a cunning fellow."

If the opponent had left the mark on his body, with Qin Chen's caution, he would have likely discovered it long ago. However, since it was left on his sleeve, Qin Chen wouldn't burn his own body with the Qinglian Demon Fire for no reason; rather, he wanted to protect his clothing, which caused him to miss the discovery at first.

"Young Master Chen, what's wrong?" At this moment, the Black Slave also looked over and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the opponent has left a mark on us?"

He wasn’t a fool; from the previous conversation between Liu Ze and the others, as well as Qin Chen's behavior, he understood that he must have been marked for tracking. Otherwise, the opponent wouldn't be able to find them so quickly.

Qin Chen nodded.

At this moment, he also realized that the opportunity for the opponent to place the mark should have been when they gave him the pills at the Black Marsh Square.

No wonder Liu Ze proactively wanted to compensate them for the pills, and that the pills were not only placed in a medicine bottle but also specially packed in a jade box.

It seemed that the trick was likely on that jade box.

"This despicable fellow will know what regret is sooner or later," the Black Slave said with a cold gleam in his eyes.

Then he turned to Qin Chen and said, "Young Master Chen, since you've discovered the mark, destroy it. I should have one on me as well; if that's the case, I’d like to see how these two fellows will track us."

"No."

Who would have thought that Qin Chen would actually shake his head.

His expression was serious as he said coldly, "We can't discard the mark just yet, and the most crucial thing is that Liu Ze and Jiu Mo Xin actually know the direction we are heading."

Qin Chen's tone was heavy.

This was what worried him the most. With Liu Ze's cultivation level, once they passed the underground ruins mentioned by the Black Slave, it would be difficult for them not to notice anything.

If that happened, the situation would be dangerous.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned to the Black Slave and said solemnly, "Black Slave, I have a task for you, but it will involve some danger."

"Young Master Chen, just say it, and the Black Slave will definitely accomplish the task." The Black Slave was quite decisive.

Having gone through so much, he understood that relying on himself to break through to the Sixth Level Martial Venerable was too difficult. However, following Qin Chen would likely be much easier.

"Good."

Qin Chen said no more. He carefully activated a series of restrictions to strip off the tracking mark on his sleeve and took out a jade box to place it inside.

Next, he also found the tracking mark on the Black Slave and similarly stripped it away using restrictions, placing it into the jade box.

"Here are the two tracking marks that Liu Ze set earlier. I need you to take this jade box and quickly leave here, heading in the opposite direction. The further, the better," Qin Chen said as he handed the jade box to the Black Slave.

"You want me to lure Liu Ze and the others away?"

The Black Slave immediately understood Qin Chen's intention and asked in confusion, "But if I leave, how will you find that underground ruins?"

"You gave me a map, right? Moreover, you marked the specific location on it. Although there is a very powerful concealment formation there, with this information, it will still be easy for me to find the place. Furthermore, I have the Spirit Seeking Bug with me. The Spirit Seeking Bug is extremely sensitive to rare treasures. Once we reach the place, I won’t be unable to find the location of the forbidden area."
