When Zhan Chen closed his eyes, he instantly sensed that someone was spying on him. The killing intent in his heart instantly erupted forth.
If news of this were to spread, Zhan Chen, the chosen of the Pill Emperor Hall, would do anything to achieve his goals, even sacrificing his own lover. The Pill Emperor Hall would definitely not spare him.
The person spying on him had to die.
"Let's go!" Qin Wentian knew that Zhan Chen had discovered them the instant he dashed out. He hadn't expected Zhan Chen's perception to be so strong. Grabbing Bailu Yi's hand, Qin Wentian retreated with explosive speed.
"Sir, it's best if you stay behind." Zhan Chen's voice drifted over from behind, as a terrifying coldness gushed forth, enveloping Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi. Just the intensity of that killing intent was enough to cause them to shiver in fear.
How could Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi stop? Executing the Garuda Movement Technique, Qin Wentian increased his speed to the maximum.
Zhan Chen, who was behind them, flicked his finger as an Astral Sword appeared in front of him. Zhan Chen's silhouette flickered as the Astral Sword pierced through the air, causing dust and sand to rise up in the air. However, the distance between Zhan Chen and Qin Wentian was rapidly shortening.
Although Qin Wentian's movement technique was strong, his cultivation base was only at the third level of Yuanfu. Bailu Yi was the same as well, while Zhan Chen was at the peak of Yuanfu and ranked # 11 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. How could Qin Wentian compare to his speed?
The difference in strength was too great.
Qin Wentian's countenance was incredibly unsightly to behold, as a cold light flickered in his eyes. He had never imagined that he would stumble upon Zhan Chen's secret.
Bzzz! Qin Wentian's palms trembled as the Yellow Springs Monument shot out, landing on the hillside in front of them.
"Go up." Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi directly stepped onto the Yellow Springs Monument, causing a terrifying aura to permeate the air. Qin Wentian's footsteps trembled as the Yellow Springs Monument emitted a blood-colored glow.
Zhan Chen dashed over, yet he abruptly halted his steps as he stared at Qin Wentian, who had already entered a Divine Inscription trap. His palms trembled as a screen of swords appeared in front of him.
"DIE!" Zhan Chen spat out a single word, and the screen of swords transformed into a sharp sword shadow that shot towards Qin Wentian.
"Go down." Qin Wentian pulled Bailu Yi along with him as they tumbled down the hill. The screen of swords whistled past their heads, exuding a bone-piercing chill.
Zhan Chen coldly snorted. The sword light beneath his feet grew sharper and sharper, as though a boundless sword keening could be heard. He stepped out, stepping on his sword as he dashed towards the center of the Divine Inscription Formation, dashing straight towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's countenance was incredibly unsightly to behold. He was truly unwilling to die like this.
"Little Yi, Wentian!" At this moment, a voice rang out from the side. A glimmer of hope appeared on Bailu Yi's pale countenance.
Only now did Qin Wentian notice a silhouette sprinting over from the side. It was none other than Bailu Jing.
A resolute look flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. With a flick of his finger, fresh blood gushed forth. His finger imprinted itself onto the Yellow Springs Monument as a blood-colored light frenziedly flowed into it.
Zhan Chen casually waved his hand, and an earth-shattering sword appeared in the air, slashing towards Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi.
Qin Wentian's body flipped, and the Yellow Springs Monument abruptly blasted out, aiming straight for Zhan Chen. A thunderous boom echoed out, and Zhan Chen could feel his heart pounding as his blood vessels trembled. At the same time, the sword slammed into the Yellow Springs Monument.
"RUMBLE!" The Yellow Springs Monument was repelled by the sword strike, slamming ruthlessly into Qin Wentian's body. Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi's bodies slid down the slope as they coughed out mouthfuls of blood. Bailu Jing had finally arrived.
"STAY YOUR HAND!" Zhan Chen roared. His body turned illusory, akin to a shadow. In an instant, a fearsome killing art descended from the skies, slashing towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen's eyes widened in shock, his body trembling violently.
Zhan Chen stabbed out with his finger, and a terrifying sword intent transformed into countless sword fragments, landing on the resplendent golden line of light.
The golden line of light descended from the Heavens, and the sword fragments completely dissipated, but it still continued to descend, slashing towards Zhan Chen's body.
"Nine Slashes of the Great Sun!"
Zhan Chen's eyes narrowed, and the sword Qi around him intensified. He stabbed out with his finger, landing on the golden line of light, and the terrifying destructive might caused the surrounding space to crackle. Finally, under the might of this finger strike, the golden line of light dissipated, and Bailu Jing appeared in front of Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi.
"Brother!" Bailu Yi called out. A cold light flickered in Bailu Jing's eyes as he stared at Zhan Chen.
"Ranked 56th on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Bailu Jing. Based on your strength, you should be able to advance a little further in the next ranking battle," Zhan Chen stated, staring at Bailu Jing.
Bailu Jing's eyes flashed with killing intent. That earlier strike of Zhan Chen's was clearly aimed at killing Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi.
A terrifying aura gushed forth from him as Bailu Jing released his Astral Souls. Three Astral Souls appeared; one was the Blazing Flames Astral Soul, one was the Wind Shadow Astral Soul, and the last was the Seven Slaughters Astral Soul.
The three Astral Souls originated from the 3rd, 4th and 5th Heavenly Layers respectively!
Zhan Chen, who was usually calm and composed, was now emanating a towering killing intent.
"Big brother Jing, this is just a misunderstanding." At this moment, Qin Wentian's voice drifted over. Bailu Jing froze for a moment, only to hear Qin Wentian continuing, "Zhan Chen, you chased after me and Bailu Yi for no reason at all. Is there a misunderstanding?"
Zhan Chen was ranked # 11 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, a Heaven's Chosen from the Pill Emperor Hall. Even if Bailu Jing was strong, if a battle really erupted, it would be disadvantageous to them.
Zhan Chen glanced at Qin Wentian, only to see that his opponent's eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of hatred. He didn't expect Qin Wentian's schemes to run so deep, purposely acting as if it was a misunderstanding. In reality, Qin Wentian was hinting to him that he would pretend he didn't know what he saw earlier. As for the fact that he almost killed Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian didn't seem to care at all.
Did he really not care? One could only say that Qin Wentian was extremely good at enduring.
"Haha, Zhan Chen, you're actually here as well." From afar, two silhouettes could be seen walking over. It was none other than Zhao Lie and the First Elder of the Li Clan. The First Elder of the Li Clan was extremely unlucky to have met Zhao Lie, hence he was forced to lead the way.
"This is the Divine Inscriptionist Grandmaster. If that's the case, that's even better. With two Divine Inscriptionists here, we should be able to leave this damned place." Zhao Lie's gaze landed on Qin Wentian, as a fiery light flickered in his eyes. He initially thought that Zhan Chen was forcing Qin Wentian to lead the way, but Bailu Jing didn't agree, resulting in the confrontation.
"Hehe, I think so too. Grandmaster Qin should be willing to lead the way, right?" Zhan Chen coldly asked as he stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian understood that as long as he didn't die, the killing intent in Zhan Chen's heart wouldn't diminish.
But wasn't he the same as well? If there was a chance, he would definitely kill Zhan Chen.
"Naturally." Qin Wentian laughed, agreeing to Zhan Chen's request.
"With Little Brother Qin leading the way, our journey would be much smoother." Old First laughed, the tense atmosphere from earlier dissipating into nothingness.
Bailu Yi naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Wentian's words. She kept her mouth shut and pretended as though nothing had happened.
However, as they continued onwards, Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi maintained a certain distance from Zhan Chen. Bailu Jing didn't ask anything, but how could he not understand the hidden meaning behind Qin Wentian's words?
After a moment, they returned to the location where Zhan Chen and Qing Yue were conversing. At this moment, there was an additional interspatial ring.
Not only that, there were other experts from the Hua Clan present as well.
"They're all here." A voice drifted over from behind. Everyone turned their heads, only to see Yang Fan, Zhu Sha, and Bailu Jing walking over.
The three of them were all experts from the Star-Seizing Manor. They had actually gathered together.
At this moment, the gazes of Yang Fan and Zhu Sha landed on Qin Wentian. A cold light flickered in their eyes, containing a hint of killing intent.
From their point of view, Qin Wentian had to be held responsible for the deaths of over ten experts from the Star-Seizing Manor.
However, they knew that now wasn't the time to deal with Qin Wentian. They still needed to borrow his strength to pass through the formation.
"Grandmaster Qin, please lead the way." Zhan Chen gestured to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian glanced at the people in front of him. His countenance was calm, but in his heart, he knew that he was in an extremely precarious situation.
"Right." Nodding his head, Qin Wentian began to inscribe the formation in front of him. Bailu Jing and Bailu Yi stood behind Qin Wentian, while Old Li followed Qin Wentian, joining forces to decipher the formation.
Qin Wentian's movements were extremely slow, causing Old Li to feel that something was amiss. It was as though Qin Wentian was doing this on purpose.
In reality, Qin Wentian had been waiting for an opportunity. But when he thought of the strength of those behind him, he knew that it would be impossible for him to kill all of them in a single move.
Zhan Chen, Yang Fan, Zhao Lie and Hua Feng were all rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. It would be too difficult if he wanted to ambush them while he was deciphering the formation.
An instant later, Qin Wentian picked up one of the interspatial rings, leaving the other one behind. Old Li froze as he picked up the interspatial ring. His eyes sunk in as an expression of agony and agony appeared on his face.
"Third brother." Old Li clutched the interspatial ring tightly. All of a sudden, his gaze froze as he saw the word 'Zhan' inscribed in front of Qin Wentian's body.
"Zhan, Zhan Chen." Old Li's heart trembled as his body trembled unstably. Drawing in a deep breath, he pretended that he hadn't seen it, yet a glint of hatred flickered in his eyes.
Qin Wentian's body blocked the words, and after he finished inscribing them, he immediately erased them as he continued to decipher the formation. Those behind him quietly followed behind. Gradually, the pine trees and ancient peaks appeared before their eyes, as though they were just inches away from them.
They were getting closer, they were almost there.
"Fluctuations of Divine Inscriptions." Qin Wentian abruptly shifted his gaze forward. Although the pine trees and ancient peaks were just inches away from him, there was an indistinct feeling to them, as though there was a barrier of Divine Inscriptions blocking their path.
Qin Wentian's movements involuntarily halted as he closed his eyes, quietly sensing the barrier of Divine Inscriptions in front of him.
Qin Wentian could also sense that they were just a step away from the exit!
