"I..."
Zuo Wei's face was difficult to look at, but he couldn't say a word, only anxiously looking at Zhou Xun.
Qin Chen sneered, "Zhou Xun, you surely won't say now that this formation hasn't been broken by this Young Master yet!"
"That's not necessarily impossible. Who knows where your subordinate and Xu Xun went after entering this passage? Maybe you set up a teleportation array that sent them directly away," Zhou Xun replied coldly.
"Exactly." Zuo Wei immediately seemed to find a lifeline, excitedly saying, "Although you opened an entrance, this entrance might not be the passage into the ruins. It could very well be a teleportation array or something like that, who knows?"
Qin Chen laughed coldly. Zuo Wei was willing to say anything just to avoid admitting defeat.
A teleportation array was completely different from breaking a formation; others might not see through it, but how could Zuo Wei, as a sixth-level formation master, not notice?
Clearly, he just refused to admit it no matter what.
"Alright, since both of you think that the array I set up might be a teleportation array, let's wait until that black slave and Xu Xun come back to determine whether this is a teleportation array or the entrance to the ruins."
Qin Chen wasn't in a hurry; he waved his hand and directly sealed the entrance, looking completely calm.
Once he did this, the other people present immediately panicked.
How long would it take for that black slave and Xu Xun to return?
If the two did not come out for half a day, wouldn’t they be waiting half a day? By then, would there still be any treasures left in the ruins for them?
In an instant, the entire ruins erupted in commotion, and the strong from various factions rushed forward, looking anxious.
If it were someone else who dared to do this, they would have already acted, but Qin Chen's previous background had frightened them, and since the entrance formation was also controlled by Qin Chen, they hesitated to act out of fear, even though they were anxious.
"Your actions are not appropriate. Why not open the entrance and let this prince send someone inside to check if this passage is real or not?"
Zhou Xun felt nervous in his heart, secretly cursing Qin Chen for being despicable, but he spoke solemnly.
"Why not let us in first, so we can verify whether this entrance is real or not? Wouldn’t that be faster?"
"Yes, hurry and open the entrance."
"As long as this entrance is real, we will certainly help you determine its authenticity."
The people from Yushou Mountain Villa, Black Cultivation Society, Mu Xin Mansion, as well as other forces from the two great dynasties, including the proud middle-aged woman, were all anxious.
"Hehe, what you all said is incorrect. Since I have made a bet with Master Zuo Wei, I naturally must abide by the bet. Before the bet is fulfilled, I absolutely will not open the entrance. Moreover, since many friends here previously believed I had not broken the formation, why not find a way to break it yourselves? I would like to see how you all will break the formation."
Qin Chen said with a smile.
This...
Everyone was dumbfounded, each one feeling like they were constipated.
Damn it, why did I just speak up for Zuo Wei? Zuo Wei's life and death had nothing to do with me, yet I foolishly offended that young man for this person. Now, it’s good; the Great Xia Dynasty already had martial artists entering the ruins, and if they didn’t go in now, they would probably get nothing.
"This young brother, although I don't understand formations much, I can see that you have already broken this formation. According to the bet, Master Zuo Wei has long since lost."
"Yes, yes, I was also a witness to the previous bet; you have already won."
"Master Zuo Wei, why not hurry and bow to this person as your master? As a formation master, you wouldn’t do something as dishonest as this, would you?"
In their anxious hearts, everyone looked towards Zuo Wei, urging him to admit defeat and acknowledge Qin Chen as his master so they could enter the ruins.
