Martial Master

On the vast and desolate wilderness, Qin Chen flew swiftly.

However, he could clearly sense that this area had already been searched by other martial artists. After half a day, Qin Chen had not discovered a single new spiritual herb.

But Qin Chen did not care at all. He understood that during his days of seclusion, any surviving Martial Venerable would almost certainly search deeper into the peripheral areas. It was perfectly normal for this area to have been searched.

So he focused solely on moving deeper forward.

During the flight, Qin Chen carefully sensed the power within this Demon Secret Realm, adapting to the climate here.

Two days later, Qin Chen had arrived at a very deep location within the Demon Secret Realm.

"Why are these people moving so quickly?"

Qin Chen frowned. In two days, he hadn't seen a single person. It should be noted that his speed was incredibly fast, several times faster than an average Martial Venerable. The distance he covered in two days far surpassed what those martial artists had traveled in the previous days.

As he pondered, a loud rumbling sound faintly echoed from a distance. Qin Chen immediately knew that someone ahead was fighting.

Moreover, this rumbling sound was quickly moving towards him, indicating that both sides were engaged in battle while rapidly flying away.

In general battles, both sides would exert their full strength. How could they fight while moving at high speed? Such behavior could only be explained in one way: one side was hunting while the other was fleeing.

Sure enough, Qin Chen saw three martial artists flying over from a distance. One was fleeing in front, while the other two were in hot pursuit.

The martial artist fleeing in the front was extremely disheveled, covered in blood, and wore a panicked expression. Qin Chen merely scanned with his mental strength and recognized who the martial artist was.

It turned out to be the Martial Venerable named Wu Gongling from the group he encountered when he first entered the Demon Secret Realm.

Wu Gongling was the only one who knew the name of the Blood Demon Beast and was also the only one aware that the Blood Demon Beast would turn into a ghost after death. When Qin Chen left, he had even given him a jade slip.

Originally, Qin Chen had no intention of meddling in this matter. After hearing the voices, he realized he should be close to the others, so he wanted to continue searching deeper. But seeing Wu Gongling now made Qin Chen's heart stir; he might be able to obtain some information from Wu Gongling.

At this moment, Wu Gongling had clearly spotted a figure in the distance, but his mental strength was not as formidable as Qin Chen's. He could only see a person from afar without clearly identifying their face. A flash of panic crossed his face, and he hurriedly changed directions, wanting to escape elsewhere.

The two martial artists chasing Wu Gongling also spotted Qin Chen, revealing a hint of joy on their faces. They immediately shouted from a distance, "You there! We are martial artists from the Dayong Dynasty. Stop this kid!"

The two were evidently very confident in their identity as disciples of the Dayong Dynasty, their voices even carrying a commanding tone.

Indeed, the Dayong Dynasty was one of the seven major superior dynasties, and very few other martial artists dared to defy their wishes.

Sure enough, after their shout, the figure in the distance immediately flew towards them.

Wu Gongling vaguely saw the person flying quickly towards him, and his expression instantly changed. He quickly opened his mouth to say, "Friend, I am a martial artist from the Dawang Dynasty. Please..."

But before he could finish his sentence, the martial artist from afar had already arrived in front of him in an instant, so fast that it was astonishing. Wu Gongling's face changed drastically, and without caring about anything else, he saw that the person truly blocked him. Resolutely, he swung his battle knife towards Qin Chen.

Clearly, he wanted to carve out a path to survive.
