Martial Master

“What's it going to be? Hand over your storage ring obediently, or shall this prince’s men kill you and take it?”

Zhou Xun’s gaze was icy, looking down on his prey like a hunter surveying its quarry.

His earlier hesitation to attack Qin Chen and the black slave was merely due to his concern about not being able to enter the ruins.

But now that he had entered the ruins, Zhou Xun acted without restraint.

Although he still dared not rashly attack Qin Chen, killing the servants beside Qin Chen would be equally satisfying.

Let’s see how that kid behaves later.

Seeing himself surrounded by many powerful figures from the Great Zhou Dynasty, including a mid-stage Martial Venerable of the sixth rank, the black slave felt a sinking feeling in his heart and immediately took out the Heaven Demon Banner.

A dense aura of demonic energy spread through the air.

“Heaven Demon Banner?”

Among the crowd, the Heaven Demon Elder’s eyes froze with anger upon seeing the Heaven Demon Banner. “The Blood Eagle was indeed killed by them.”

“Hahaha, you don’t think you can take us all on by yourself, do you? Very well, let me see what abilities you actually possess!”

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Xun was about to give the order to attack.

“What an idiot.”

At that moment, a voice of disdain suddenly rang out.

“What do you mean?” Zhou Xun sneered. “Your servant is currently in our hands. If we kill him, can you stop this prince?”

“You really are an idiot.”

Qin Chen slowly stepped forward and said, “They have only been in here for a short while. If there truly were treasures here, would there be no traces left at all?”

Everyone was taken aback.

Indeed, if there were spiritual herbs or other treasures, even if they had been taken away, there would still be some signs.

“Moreover, I believe what everyone should be concerned about now is not whether there are treasures, but how we all get out!” Qin Chen spoke in a low voice.

“What does he mean?”

“Wait, there’s actually no exit in here?”

“It seems there are no teleportation arrays either.”

“This…”

After Qin Chen’s reminder, everyone suddenly became aware.

The entrance they used to come in was a passage opened by Qin Chen outside the ruins, but once inside, they directly appeared in a valley shrouded in white mist, with no visible way out.

In an instant, everyone noted this issue.

No exit, how do they leave?

“Search, let’s find a way out!”

At this moment, the crowd's attention shifted away from the black slave, and even Zhou Xun furrowed his brows.

Not being able to get out was indeed an extremely serious problem.

Instantly, everyone began to search within the valley.

At this time, the black slave finally returned to Qin Chen's side.

“Young Master Chen, when I arrived, this place looked like this, and there are no signs of an exit around. The Spirit Seeking Insect lingered outside the restriction array for a long time and kept circling in the valley. Clearly, there should be treasures here, but I don’t know where they went. However, it’s worth noting that when the Spirit Seeking Insect reached the edge of the white mist surrounding the valley, it dared not advance any further, so this white mist poses significant danger to it.”

As soon as the black slave returned to Qin Chen’s side, he immediately communicated via voice transmission.

Qin Chen nodded.

He had sent the black slave ahead to scout the ruins, not expecting to find such an empty valley.

As for the lack of treasures, Qin Chen had discovered this from the beginning; with his keen perception, he could tell that there was no lingering aura of treasures here.

“So, there should be some valuable items within this array restriction, but where’s the exit?” Qin Chen frowned tightly.

At this point, after searching the area, the others also regrouped.

Every person's expression was heavy.

After so many people searched, they still found no exit.

At that moment, as everyone felt a sense of heaviness, one of the Martial Venerables suddenly looked towards the misty area outside the valley and said, “Perhaps this place is also within the Black Death Marsh. If we pass through this mist, we might just find a way out.”
