Swish!
In the passage.
Blood Hand King was as swift as lightning, but after flying for a moment, his figure suddenly stopped.
Ahead, at the end of the passage, dark openings appeared one after another, each one unfathomably deep, with no knowledge of where they led.
"So many passages, which opening did that kid actually enter?"
His gaze darkened, and Blood Hand King's expression became extremely unsightly. If he had trusted Li Yuancheng's words the moment he entered the square and tracked him directly, he might have sensed which opening Qin Chen had entered.
After all, when a martial artist flies, they always leave behind a trace of true power fluctuations.
However, he had wasted a lot of time in the square earlier, and now the true power fluctuations at the openings had long since disappeared. How could he find it?
"Right."
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, a thin talisman, as delicate as a cicada's wings, appeared in Blood Hand King's hand. The talisman was inscribed with obscure runes, which Blood Hand King activated in an instant.
Buzz!
The talisman instantly lit up with a hazy glow, and then floated up from Blood Hand King's hand, swaying as it drifted to the front of one of the openings.
"It seems to be this opening."
Blood Hand King felt a surge of joy in his heart, quickly putting away the talisman, and sneered, "Luckily, this king obtained a True Measurement Talisman, otherwise I really wouldn't know which opening that kid took."
The True Measurement Talisman was a type of talisman that could measure true power fluctuations. When martial artists flew, they would stir the true energy of the world, leaving traces of true power fluctuations along their path. Over time, these fluctuations would gradually fade, making it difficult for even a peak early-stage Martial King like Blood Hand King to perceive.
However, no matter how the true power fluctuations dissipate, there will always be a trace left behind, and the True Measurement Talisman can detect these extremely subtle true power fluctuations.
Let alone that Qin Chen entered this passage a mere incense stick earlier; even if he had entered half a day earlier, as long as no one else came in to disturb the traces, it could be detected by the True Measurement Talisman.
"Hmph, this king wants to see who that kid really is to dare target the martial artists of my Daqian Dynasty." With a cold grunt, Blood Hand King swayed and instantly rushed into the opening, disappearing from sight.
His speed was evidently pushing the peak early-stage strength of a seventh-tier warrior to the extreme.
Not long after Blood Hand King had just vanished.
Swish, swish, swish!
Zhou Zhengshu and his group also arrived in front of the many openings.
"Hmm? It seems there was a true energy fluctuation left at this opening. So, Blood Hand King must have entered this passage?"
Staring at the passage Blood Hand King had entered, Zhou Zhengshu murmured.
A martial artist from the Longyuan Dynasty following him asked in confusion, "Young Master Zhou, with Blood Hand King's strength, if we follow him, even if we see treasures, won't they be of no use to us?"
Zhou Zhengshu's face was gloomy as he replied, "What do you know? If Iām not mistaken, the magic crystal from the demon pool was most likely stolen by the kid who killed Heng Tianxiao."
"Is it him?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"That's right." Zhou Zhengshu said coldly, "And that person is very likely the Qin Chen from the Dawi Dynasty."
"How could that be?"
Everyone was stunned; they had seen Qin Chen's appearance before at the square in Chaotian City, and he looked completely different from the youth who had killed Heng Tianxiao.
"It's just a disguise." Zhou Zhengshu sneered, his gaze icy as he said, "I almost know all the top geniuses among the seven dynasties, but this person, although he claims to be a disciple of the Datong Dynasty, not a single person among our seven dynasties knows him. Add to that his terrifying strength and the ability to kill Heng Tianxiao; how could he be an ordinary genius?"
