Recently, Sky Blade Peak has attracted quite the attention.

Countless people are constantly waiting for the black mist within Sky Blade Peak to dissipate.

In fact, just yesterday, some people couldn't wait and ventured into the black mist.

And today, the black mist has dissipated to its utmost extent.

The legends of Sky Blade Peak are far too many.

Who doesn't wish to receive a blessing from the heavens and henceforth look down upon the world?

Therefore, despite knowing the countless dangers within Sky Blade Peak, the number of people pouring into the black mist remains innumerable.

Even many weaker white robed disciples have ventured into the black mist seeking opportunity, for this journey might just catapult them to fame.

Cases like this are not rare.

"Having cultivated for so long, it's about time to take a breather." Qin Chen chuckled.

Li Linfeng immediately cast a strange look at Qin Chen.

They've only been cultivating for seven days; where does "so long" come from?

However, he too noticed.

In a mere seven days, Qin Chen seemed to have made considerable progress, which left Li Linfeng feeling quite frustrated.

Seven days is nothing for someone of their cultivation level.

But why did Qin Chen progress so much?

Truly a monster!

Li Linfeng felt disheartened and suddenly regretted choosing to cultivate alongside Qin Chen at Demon Peak.

"In the black mist, perils are everywhere, and if one perishes there, no one will hold it accountable."

"I think we should wait for the right time to enter." Li Linfeng said.

Between Qin Chen and Yu TianQi, there's quite a bit of enmity.

If Yu TianQi were to track Qin Chen's movements, it would undoubtedly spell trouble for Qin Chen.

"Perhaps we can't wait any longer."

But just then, hearing Li Linfeng's words, Qin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked outside the Demon Peak Hall.

"Junior Brother Qin Chen."

A group of people then descended on Demon Peak.

Leading them was none other than Yu TianQi.

Behind him were Jiang Xie, Ning He, and others, all present and accounted for.

Even by Yu TianQi's side was a graceful figure, Ouyang Panxue, with Little Panxia as well.

Upon seeing this group arrive,

Li Linfeng's brows immediately furrowed.

"Brother Yu." Qin Chen greeted with a smile.

"I come here to invite Junior Brother Qin Chen to join us in exploring the black mist within Sky Blade Peak."

"Junior Brother Qin Chen's stunning performance in the contest was impressive, with formidable strength. With you joining us, our expedition surely will be even smoother."

Yu TianQi got straight to the point without any preamble.

"Are you planning to enter the black mist of Sky Blade Peak?"

But at that moment, before Qin Chen could answer, Ouyang Panxue suddenly spoke, gazing at Qin Chen with emotionless eyes.

Yu TianQi slightly frowned but said nothing.

Qin Chen looked into Ouyang Panxue's eyes, a slight smile appearing on his face.

He certainly understood Ouyang Panxue's intention.

Ouyang Panxue was hinting for him to reject Yu TianQi!

As long as Qin Chen nodded and said he didn't plan to enter the black mist of Sky Blade Peak, Yu TianQi would naturally have no choice.

Qin Chen understood that Yu TianQi's invitation likely harbored no good intentions.

However, Qin Chen had his own plans.

"Within the black mist of Sky Blade Peak, it's said that countless opportunities await. With the contest approaching, I naturally want to explore inside. Who knows, I might find a grand opportunity."

Qin Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Panxue's face cooled instantly, while Yu TianQi's face naturally beamed with joy.

Li Linfeng and Su Yun both had a change in their expressions.

Looking at Qin Chen with a hint of confusion.

Could it be that Qin Chen truly planned to travel with Yu TianQi?

What sense does it make to walk with wolves?

"In that case, why don't we travel together?" Yu TianQi said with a smile.

"Traveling with Brother Yu is certainly an immense honor for me."

"However, I am quite timid by nature, and I easily panic in situations; I wonder if Brother Yu can tolerate this?" Qin Chen said.

Pfft!

Hearing Qin Chen's words,

Ning He and Jiang Xie, standing behind Yu TianQi, almost spat out old blood.

Timid by nature?

Timid by nature, yet you dared to do what even the Law Enforcement Team wouldn't?

Timid by nature, yet you boldly stormed into Evil Child Peak, doing as you pleased?

This was just shameless!

Practically lying without batting an eye!

Even Li Linfeng and Su Yun gave Qin Chen a strange look; if Qin Chen was timid, then no one in this world was bold.

"Since I'm your senior, I naturally will fulfill my senior duties, no need for you to worry." Yu TianQi said.

Though he didn't know why Qin Chen said such things.

But to him, it didn't matter.

"Since Brother Yu is so generous, as your junior, I cannot be unappreciative; I hope Brother Yu takes good care of me on the journey." Qin Chen said.

Yu TianQi nodded, "Let's go."

"Go."

Qin Chen turned back and transmitted a message through Elemental Power to Li Linfeng and Su Yun.

Li Linfeng and Su Yun were clueless what Qin Chen was up to.

But seeing things had come to this, they couldn't do much but follow Qin Chen and journey together with Yu TianQi.

"Brother Chu Xun, why does Brother Qin Chen have to go with Yu TianQi's group?"

Only after Qin Chen's group had gone far did Di Yuan speak up, unable to hold back.

He simply didn't understand!

"Rest assured, he won't suffer any loss."

"On the contrary, perhaps it will be Yu TianQi who suffers the loss." Chu Xun said, meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Di Yuan was puzzled by these words.

But Chu Xun said no more.

....

Within the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, as the dissipation of the black mist on Sky Blade Peak stirred excitement.

Imperial City.

Today, it was a very important day for the Twelve Great Families of the Imperial City.

Legend has it that the Twelve Great Families of the Imperial City actually originated from a single clan, but due to familial splits, they evolved into the Twelve Great Families today.

And today, it was the day the ancestral land of the Twelve Great Families would open.

The ancestral land can only be entered by people with the bloodline of the Twelve Great Families.

The ancestral land is located in a mountain range in the center of the Chu Imperial City.

Usually, it is jointly guarded by people sent by the Twelve Great Families, and almost no one is there.

But today, people were continuously arriving through the air in these mountains, all of them members of the Twelve Great Families.

Among these people.

Previously, the Feng Family, ordered by Wen Tengqi to be expelled from East Emperor City, the Ye Family of East Emperor City, and even the Shen Family from West Imperial City, which had previously interacted with Qin Chen, including Shen Yaxin and Shen Jing, were all present.

Although the Feng Family was expelled from East Emperor City, Wind Family Patriarch Feng Xiqing did not leave the Imperial City; instead, he occupied a large residence in West Imperial City and re-established the Wind Residence.

"The members of the Twelve Great Families have all arrived!"

"Open the ancestral land!"

With everyone present, the clan leaders of the Twelve Great Families stepped out from the crowd.
