In the past half month, neither of them had left the Ancient City, and both had fully recovered from their injuries. Now, it was naturally time to venture out again.
"I was thinking the same thing."
Mon Tianran also nodded in agreement.
This grand eraâs true splendor had yet to come.
Especially since half a month ago, the âfavorâ that Jang Chenglong owed the two of them, Qin Chen and his companion hadnât forgotten it in the slightest.
As the two of them stepped out of the City Lord Mansion, they saw quite a few Sect Disciples gathered, discussing something with raised voices.
"Huang Zheng, Bai Ning, what are you talking about?"
Curious at the sight, Mon Tianran walked over.
In that time, Mon Tianran, seeking to keep Qin Chen company during his recovery, had established quite good relations with the people in the Ancient City, and many pieces of news were gathered through their conversations.
"Brother Tianran."
"Eh? Is that Brother Qin Chen?"
Hearing Mon Tianranâs voice, the group of chattering people turned around, surprised to see Qin Chen standing by Mon Tianranâs side.
This was Qin Chenâs first appearance since that great battle.
The look in their eyes, as they gazed upon Qin Chen, was filled with boundless admiration.
Half a month ago, Qin Chen had slain the strongest Heavenly Prides of three Three-star Sects and furiously killed Meng Han. The shocking scene was still vivid in their minds.
In the eyes of these Low-level Sect Disciples, Qin Chen was indeed a figure worthy of their admiration.
"Hello," Qin Chen greeted them with a smile.
"What are you discussing?" Mon Tianran asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Itâs about the Senmo Ancient City."
The Sect Disciple named Huang Zheng didnât hide anything and directly shared.
"Senmo Ancient City?"
Upon hearing these four words, Qin Chen and his companion both raised their eyebrows.
In this Forest Demon World, any place bearing the words âForest Demonâ certainly wouldnât be simple.
"What place is the Senmo Ancient City?"
Mon Tianran inquired.
"The Senmo Ancient City, it is said, was once a training ground set up by the Forest Demon Hall for their younger disciples."
"Inside, there are numerous opportunities, but equally many challenges," added Huang Zheng.
"A training ground?"
Qin Chen stroked his chin.
He had experienced many such places of trial, and upon hearing this, he became quite interested.
Both Jang Chenglong and the Nine Palaces Sect had stressed to Qin Chen the necessity of growing stronger continually.
Opportunities were something Qin Chen was determined to seize.
"With the Forest Demon Hall at its peak being so formidable, I suppose acquiring the opportunities within the Senmo Ancient City wouldnât be easy, right?" Mon Tianran asked.
"On the contrary."
Hearing this, Huang Zheng, however, shook his head.
"Oh? How so?"
Mon Tianran raised an eyebrow, visibly puzzled.
"According to the information, due to the passage of time, most of the restrictions inside the Senmo Ancient City have actually weakened."
"Therefore, the difficulty of venturing through the Senmo Ancient City will be much reduced, and it will be much easier to obtain treasured opportunities," Huang Zheng explained, his voice tinged with excitement.
It seemed he held considerable expectations for the Senmo Ancient City.
Is that so?
Hearing this, both Qin Chen and Mon Tianran were quite astounded, and joy also bloomed in their hearts.
This meant that the chances within the Senmo Ancient City would be much easier to grasp!
Of course, they understood that not all the trial restrictions must have weakened, just a portion of them.
After all, Forest Demon Hall used to be an Overlord Level force, and those more precious rewards are likely not easy to obtain.
"Huang Zheng, why wonât you take advice?"
"You know this information, wouldnât others know it too?"
"Do you know how many people are going to Senmo Ancient City this time?"
"As I see it, among the Four-star Sects, there are three, and even more from the Three-star Sects."
"Opportunities belong to the strong, and if we go there, weâre more likely to end up with nothing and might just die there instead."
"Donât forget how those High-level Sect Disciples are used to regarding us."
Beside Huang Zheng, Bai Ning suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Huang Zhengâs expression changed slightly, a struggle evident in his demeanor.
Opportunities belong to the strong.
The weak, if they hope to contend for it, must pay a price, and often, that price is death.
What Bai Ning had said was quite accurate.
Moreover, at the critical moment, those High-level Sect Disciples would surely become assassins, wouldnât they?
Not everyone is Qin Chen.
"What did you just say? Which three Four-star Sect Forces are going?"
Mon Tianran suddenly asked Bai Ning.
"Guiyuan Sect, Nine-star Palace, and... Nine Palaces Sect!" said Bai Ning.
When he mentioned the Nine Palaces Sect, Bai Ning specifically glanced at Qin Chen.
The Nine Palaces Sect too?
Hearing this, Qin Chen suddenly recalled something.
Mon Tianran had previously mentioned that Wey Hongtao of the Nine Palaces Sect seemed to be held back by something and hadnât immediately come to kill them.
Could it be because of Senmo Ancient City?
Looking at it now, while he couldnât be 100% certain, it was indeed a very likely possibility.
It seemed that, in Wey Hongtaoâs eyes, the urgency to seize the opportunities within Senmo Ancient City was greater than the urgency to kill the two of them.
"I heard that the strongest disciples from these three Four-star Sect Forces will all go there."
"Those three individuals, each of them is an extremely formidable existence."
Bai Ningâs tone carried a hint of unnatural fear.
Among these three was Ba Zhao from the Nine Palaces Sect, previously mentioned by Mon Tianran to Qin Chen.
Ba Zhao possessed the terrifying battle power of the Heavenly Origin Fourth Realm!
He was beyond the current capacity of Qin Chen to handle.
And being from the same Four-star Sect category,
It stands to reason that the strongest disciples from Guiyuan Sect and Nine-star Palace would not be much weaker than Ba Zhao.
For disciples like Huang Zheng and Bai Ning from Low-level Sects,
Such individuals could indeed crush them to death with just a finger.
"Brother Qin Chen, Brother Tianran, I think itâd be better if you two donât go to the Senmo Ancient City."
"Even though you are both very strong."
"But this time, the Nine Palaces Sect will almost be out in full force, over thirty individuals with the terrifying battle power of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and if they encounter you, it could be very disadvantageous for you."
Bai Ning spoke rather diplomatically.
To put it bluntly, if you go there, itâs a dead end.
Hearing Bai Ningâs words, Qin Chen and Mon Tianran immediately exchanged glances, seeing in each otherâs eyes a resolute determination.
Would they miss out on this immense opportunity just because of the Nine Palaces Sect?
Of course not!
"Indeed, the Nine Palaces Sect is very strong, but if those people want to make a move against us, it probably wonât be such an easy matter..."
The corners of Qin Chenâs mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faintly cold curve.
