Just over a month ago, Shen Qian had fought against the ancient tree of the Spirit Witch World, so he naturally had a deep impression of it.
Therefore, at first glance, Shen Qian was certain that he was absolutely not mistaken.
Both the unique auspicious patterns on it and the resilience of the vines indicate that it is a branch from that ancient tree.
But... that's even more impossible.
The world of spirit witches has been wiped out, so how could the ancient tree, the source of life, still be alive?
In Mingming's memory before he sank, the other party, along with the Great Elder of the Spirit Witch Clan, should have been buried forever under this land.
"You've just fought the current Shenqian. Think carefully, is there any difference between this Shenqian and the one you encountered before?"
Qu Bai regained some of his energy under the influence of the elixir. Seeing that Bai Fei and the other two were still hesitating, he spoke up.
Bai Fei and the other two were unable to think seriously because of their fluctuating emotions, but after hearing this, the three who were deep in thought quickly gleaned some insights.
"Although Shen Qian, who attacked us, also used a knife, if you compare them carefully, his knife skills have more resilience, but are less fierce than Shen Qian's."
Bai Fei, who also wields a knife, calmed down and spoke slowly.
"Moreover, the fact that he remained completely silent throughout the entire ordeal is also quite suspicious now that I think about it," Sha Bi added.
"The real difference is..."
Cao Yi, however, saw right through the situation: "The knife that Shen Qian used was not the one in Shen Qian's hand."
Bai Fei nodded, "That's right, that's indeed the biggest difference. The knife in Shen Qian's hand is clearly a military-made product. I even overlooked it before."
With all the clues connected, and considering that Shen Qian had indeed held back when he first fought Bai Fei, the three of them put aside their doubts and quickly approached.
Bai Fei and the other two spoke up, one after another, and in just a moment they helped Shen Qian clarify the situation.
It turned out that after entering the Seven Heavens Gate, they were all teleported to the Spirit Witch World. Before they could figure out what was going on, "Shenqian" suddenly appeared and attacked and killed them.
Bai Fei and Sha Bi happened to be nearby when Mu Ziyan was attacked, and they also witnessed what "Shen Qian" looked like.
Bai Fei and Sha Bi joined forces to rescue the dying Mu Ziyan from "Shen Qian" and fled all the way to this ruin.
When the sun truly sank and came crashing down, the three, who thought they were still being hunted, had no choice but to join forces to set a trap and make a final stand.
Then, Lin Sanmo appeared with Qu Bai.
Lin Sanmo discovered the seriously injured Qu Bai while chasing "Shen Qian," and that's how he brought Qu Bai here.
"Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi are both dead?"
Upon hearing what Lin Sanmo had seen and heard, Shen Qian and the others were all taken aback.
"Like Mu Ziyan, her spiritual core is shattered, and she is beyond saving."
Lin Sanmo nodded slightly and then took out a cloth bag from his pocket.
The cloth bag was opened, revealing two broken spiritual cores, one of which had even been reduced to fragments, barely managed to be pieced together.
"This... 'Shen Qian,' how strong is he?"
He took a deep breath before asking.
"Very strong!"
"Although I was ambushed, I have to admit that I was no match for him..."
"Mu Ziyan didn't even have time to use her trump cards before her mental core was directly pierced."
Bai Fei and the others spoke up one after another, their voices unusually low.
They were all self-proclaimed geniuses, yet they were slaughtered by a mysterious person who suddenly appeared.
Especially since this person wasn't the one they thought was Chen Qian, it was even more distressing.
"When I first discovered Wu Yi, Qin Xiaoke must have just been found by the other party. Only eight days had passed since I set off for the scene, and at that time, Qin Xiaoke was already close to death."
Lin Sanmo also said indifferently.
Eight seconds... to kill Qin Xiaoke...
He exhaled a breath of stale air before sinking down.
If he gives it his all, he probably can do it too.
The problem is, if his guess is true, this may still not be the limit for the other party.
"If it wasn't Shen Qian, then who could it be? You, Lin Sanmo, are here too. Could it be that there are other people on the Nine Heavens Battlefield with this strength?" Bai Fei frowned.
"This is not the Nine Heavens Battlefield; this is a small world behind a C-level 'gate,' called the Spirit Witch..."
He spoke up before sinking in.
"Not the Nine Heavens Battlefield?"
"How is this possible!"
As expected, everyone except Lin Sanmo was utterly astonished.
"That's not it, because I've been here before. About a month ago, I received a bounty mission from somewhere..."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian realized that this was an exception to the rules of the Hundred Kings Hall, so he simply stated it, omitting the name "Hundred Kings Hall".
As they listened to Chen Qian's account, everyone's expressions varied.
After Shen Qian finished speaking, Bai Fei was the first to speak with a strange expression: "The place you mentioned, is it... the Hall of a Hundred Kings?"
"Are you a member too?" Shen Qian immediately understood and asked.
“I am number 92…” Bai Fei nodded. “I still remember the mission you mentioned, but I was in seclusion breaking through my cultivation realm at the time, so I missed that opportunity.”
After Shen Qian and Bai Fei finished their conversation, they suddenly noticed that the expressions on the other people's faces were also complicated, rather than the blankness they had imagined.
More importantly, the fact that Shen Qian discovered there were clearly six people here, yet he could say the words "Hall of a Hundred Kings" without any hesitation, speaks volumes.
"Are you also members of the Hall of Hundred Kings?"
He probed before sinking.
