"How can I be sure youâre not lying to me? Do you know what a rare treasure Chaotic Spirit Water is?"
Qin Chen naturally wouldnât immediately believe Leng Kangâs words.
Leng Kang said helplessly, "What I said is true. This is the location of the Dao Palace."
He took out an Ancient Map.
The topographical outline on the map indeed resembled this forest.
On the left side, there was a Dao Palace.
"There does seem to be a Dao Palace, but how can you be sure there is Chaotic Spirit Water inside just from this Ancient Map?" Qin Chen asked again.
Leng Kang hesitated for a moment.
Qin Chenâs dark eyes fixed on him: "Are you lying to me?"
Leng Kang immediately felt a sense of suffocation.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I admit, I canât guarantee thereâs definitely Chaotic Spirit Water in the Dao Palace, but I can swear on my life that this information is not fabricated."
"The information I received is that thereâs a high possibility of Chaotic Spirit Water being inside the Dao Palace."
Under Qin Chenâs aura, he rephrased his statement.
What he said before was obviously just to entice Qin Chen.
Leng Kang continued, "And to be honest, even if thereâs no Chaotic Spirit Water in the Dao Palace, itâs still the relic of a âDaoist Kingâ level expert. There will definitely be other treasures inside."
"These things, no matter what, are worth more than my life, right?"
Leng Kang was making a desperate effort to save his life.
In fact, he was very frustrated.
He still didnât know how Qin Chen discovered him.
"Donât even think about coming after me for revenge, or youâll regret it."
Qin Chen tucked the Ancient Map into his sleeve, then suddenly relaxed his aura.
Leng Kang instantly felt as if a mountain weighing on his heart had been lifted, and he relaxed completely.
He quickly disappeared from sight.
Qin Chen turned his gaze to Han Jincheng, who was immobilized by him.
"Itâs your turn."
Qin Chen spoke, and Han Jincheng trembled.
The space he was in was frozen by Qin Chen, and he couldnât even kneel to beg for mercy, his face full of fear: "Please donât kill me."
Qin Chen raised his hand, then slapped Han Jincheng across the face.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sounded, and Han Jinchengâs face was ruined, blood splattering.
"This slap is for framing your fellow family members."
"Smack!"
Then Qin Chen slapped again, making Han Jincheng scream repeatedly in pain.
"This slap is for attempting to defile my woman."
"Smack!"
"This slap is for your ugly face!"
"Smack!"
"This slap is for you, hmm... for no reason!"
After a few slaps.
Han Jinchengâs face was completely unrecognizable, and the entire forest echoed with his unpleasant screams.
"Xinkui! Xinkui! Save me! Please save me! Tell him to stop, it hurts too much, I canât take it."
Han Jinchengâs tears, snot, and blood mixed together, extremely disgusting.
The always kind Han Xinkui showed no sign of sympathy on her face at the moment, only coldness.
"When you beg me for mercy, did you think about the family members you personally harmed?"
"They had the same blood running through their veins as you! How could you do it! To achieve your goals, youâll stop at nothing! Worse than a pig or a dog!"
Han Xinkui shouted coldly.
"Iâll leave him to you."
Qin Chen looked at Han Xinkui, as Han Jincheng no longer had the strength to fight back.
"Die for me!"
Han Xinkui shouted, holding a sword, and stabbed it directly into Han Jinchengâs body.
Han Jinchengâs shrill screams abruptly ceased at that moment.
Qin Chen released his telekinesis pressure on him.
"Thud."
His entire body fell stiffly to the ground.
Tears streamed down Han Xinkuiâs face as she looked at the corpses on the ground, filled with overwhelming pain.
Thereâs nothing more dangerous than internal strife.
"Xinkui, donât be too sad, you didnât do anything wrong."
"In this world, there are so many things we are powerless against, so the only solution is to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can we possibly recover something."
Qin Chen spoke, understanding that Han Xinkui was deeply upset, as her entire family was gone, leaving her alone.
But.
The world will always be this cruel, and he wonât show mercy to anyone, nor will he give anyone a chance to turn back time.
All you can do is strive.
Strive to make amends, strive to change.
Lin Songyun walked over and embraced Han Xinkui, gently patting her back: "Itâs okay, Xinkui, weâre still here, arenât we? Itâs not your fault."
She wiped Han Xinkuiâs tears away.
Han Xinkui nodded: "Thank you both."
Qin Chen teased: "I did tell you before, weâre quite strong, didnât you believe it."
Han Xinkui stared: "I would never have known, a Tongtian Second Layer defeating a Tongtian Eighth Layer with one strike, who would believe that?"
Qin Chen laughed heartily.
They began to clear the battlefield.
They harvested a total of thirty-nine Identity Creeds.
Lin Songyun said, "Qin Chen, you should keep the Identity Creeds we gained this time."
She knew that Qin Chen wanted to compete for first place to win the Saber Saint Cliff Masterâs promise.
Qin Chen felt warm inside: "Then we need to see how many Identity Creeds are needed to enter the Saber Saint Cliff, at least ensuring you and Xinkui can enter."
The happiest thing in the world is when the person you love the most understands you, and even without you saying anything, they think ahead for you.
Han Xinkui was taken aback: "Qin Chen, what did you say? Ensuring Song Yun and I can enter the Saber Saint Cliff?"
Qin Chen smiled: "What? You donât want to cultivate in the Saber Saint Cliff?"
"Of course not."
Han Xinkui shook her head: "Do you know how difficult it is to enter the Saber Saint Cliff? Yet youâre helping both of us."
Qin Chen said, "Iâm a man aiming to take first place. If I canât even get you two into the Saber Saint Cliff, wouldnât that be a joke?"
Han Xinkuiâs eyes widened: "Qin Chen, you want first place? Do you know the level of competition youâre up against?"
Qin Chen thought for a moment: "I really donât know."
Han Xinkui was speechless, wondering if this confidence was arrogance.
Han Xinkui said, "Then let me tell you about the people you need to watch out for in this Cliff Entrance Battle, so you can be mentally prepared."
"Alright." Qin Chen nodded.
Han Xinkui said, "In this Cliff Entrance Battle, there are people from three Medium Dynasties you need to pay special attention to."
"The three dynasties are the Baisong Dynasty, where the âShadow Hallâ from the earlier encounter is a major force, skilled in stealth and assassination."
"Also, the Sky Splitting Dynasty and the Flame Wind Dynasty."
"Among them, pay special attention to the Sky Splitting Dynastyâs âHeavenly Poison Manorâ and the Flame Wind Dynastyâs âDivine Flame Hallâ and âGolden Peng Ancient Clanâ."
