“It seems you don’t have a strong backer either. How about this: if you’re interested, wait around the Kun Peng Nest a few days before it opens. I have ways to get you in.”
“Once we’re inside, we can form an alliance and act together. What do you think?”
Act together?
Qin Xuan had no interest in allying with such a person, but the fact that the other party had a way to get in was what surprised him the most.
After all, it would be quite risky for him to return to the capital city now.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan still took the token.
This was a path, after all. If he couldn't enter the Kun Peng Nest for various reasons, he might be able to use this path to ally with Ding Zhen and enter the Kun Peng Nest.
“Alright, when the Kun Peng Nest opens, I’ll contact you with this token. Don’t worry, if you have any reservations, you don’t have to come.”
However, looking at Ding Zhen, Qin Xuan frowned.
“Your current cultivation should be in the Yuqing Realm, right? Can Cultivators in the Yuqing Realm also enter the Kun Peng Nest?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled, while Ding Zhen shook his head.
“I naturally have a way to get in. If you’re interested, once we’re inside, we can explore the Kun Peng Nest together.”
He nodded noncommittally and put away the token.
“Rumble!”
Just as Ding Zhen was about to say something, the ground suddenly shook, and both of their expressions changed.
“The Ghost King is coming in.”
So fast!
“That shouldn’t be right. The time to refine the nether grass shouldn’t be too short, otherwise, the efficacy of this grass will be greatly reduced.”
Ding Zhen was puzzled, but the current situation no longer allowed him to think much.
“It seems it’s because I took the Ghost King’s Physical Body. It naturally goes berserk when it can’t sense its corpse.”
Qin Xuan transmitted a message to Han Ye.
This should be the only reason; otherwise, the Ghost King wouldn’t have sensed a problem with the corpse so quickly.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan and Ding Zhen could only rush towards the door.
“Rumble!”
Just then, the entire underground palace suddenly shook, and Qin Xuan and Ding Zhen immediately knew something bad was happening.
Wails of Yin souls came from outside.
By this point, both of them understood that the Ghost King had brought all the surrounding Yin souls over.
“Damn it, it seems the exit is completely blocked by the Ghost King.”
Qin Xuan’s face turned extremely grim.
The Ghost King’s corpse was on him.
Once it came in, the Ghost King’s main target of attack would definitely be him.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan prepared to force his way out.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing if the exit is blocked. I have ways.”
Ding Zhen, on the other hand, calmed down.
With a wave of his hand, a mirror-like treasure flew out of his hand.
The mirror landed on one side of the underground palace, and soon a black Space Channel appeared before their eyes.
This was a Space Channel?
But Qin Xuan didn’t sense any spatial fluctuations.
“Heh, this is something good I got. It has no other functions, but it can open channels in any place filled with barriers and Seals.”
“Moreover, this channel won’t have any spatial fluctuations, and other people around won’t be able to discover it at all. I relied on this thing to go through all the tombs nearby, and no one found any problems.”
“If you don’t get the qualification to enter the Kun Peng Nest, you can arrive there early, and I’ll just take you in.”
Ding Zhen said, then led the way into the Space Channel.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred, and he followed.
The Space Channel wasn’t too long, and soon Qin Xuan emerged from it.
Putting away the mirror, Ding Zhen looked at the constantly howling Yin winds and the approaching Yin souls around them, then cupped his hands.
“Brother, although I don’t know your name yet, our meeting is fated. When we get to the Kun Peng Nest, we can definitely cooperate well.”
After speaking, Ding Zhen immediately used a strange footwork. Although his movements were slow, one step covered hundreds of feet.
“Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, one of the branches of the Yu Dao Secret Method. This guy also has a remnant of the Yu Dao Secret Method on him.”
Han Ye reminded Qin Xuan in surprise.
Looking at the direction Ding Zhen left, Qin Xuan immediately turned and left in another direction.
With the bonus of Thunder Evasion Technique and Thunder Law, Qin Xuan’s speed of leaving here was very fast, and he left the Ancient Battlefield not long after.
The Ghost King was slow to react. By the time it realized something was wrong and chased out, Qin Xuan had already left.
“Senior, why do you think this person is being so kind to me?”
Outside the Ancient Battlefield, Qin Xuan asked Han Ye curiously.
After all, this seemed too strange.
At least on paper, his cultivation was lower than this person’s.
Not only that, judging from this person’s methods, his true strength should be stronger than many Cultivators who just entered the Yuqing Realm.
“He didn’t even think about a double-cross; he even wanted to form an alliance with me.”
This was something Qin Xuan couldn’t understand.
“Normally, that would be the case. This person should have hidden some strength; his true combat power should be stronger than what’s on the surface.”
“However, that’s according to the situation of most Tianxuan Realm Cultivators. Your situation is different.”
Han Ye said from the side.
“Although you only have Tianxuan Realm cultivation, considering your Thunder Law, Spirit Fire, and that Thunder Fireball, as well as the various treasures on you, your true combat power is at least equivalent to a Yuqing Realm seventh or eighth level. Fighting above your level is no problem.”
“Also, your Dantian, the Spiritual Qi is much denser than those ordinary Cultivators, I don’t know how many times over.”
“On paper, his strength is naturally on par with yours, but if you calculate true combat power, he naturally has to consider you.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t want to offend a strong enemy like you. After all, you still have means of escape. If a double-cross doesn’t succeed, wouldn’t that just create an enemy for oneself?”
“This person should have some methods. He should have sensed your true combat power, which is why he wisely made the choice to ally with you.”
Sensed his true combat power?
Qin Xuan was a bit surprised.
“This Ding Zhen actually has such an ability to see a person’s true combat power?”
This was truly beyond Qin Xuan’s expectations.
“Or, he sensed the power of the treasures on you. Although he doesn’t know what kind of treasures they are, he immediately realized that he shouldn’t offend you, which is why he talked to you nicely and even wanted to invite you to join him.”
This was the only explanation Han Ye could think of.
Qin Xuan nodded in agreement.
Some special Spirit Beasts are capable of discovering various treasures; they are born with the ability to sense treasures.
It seems this Ding Zhen sensed that he possessed a supreme treasure, but this person was very smart and knew what to do.
