Zain was completely unaware. After realizing that Shen Qian was not chasing after him, he directly burned his physical body and burst out with incredible speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Shen Qian stood motionless, lost in thought.
Not long after, a whooshing sound came from behind, as Youling, who was still worried, caught up.
"Shenqian, why are you standing here alone? Did you catch up with Zain?"
Youling had just witnessed the whole process from outside the canyon. Although she was also incredibly shocked, she knew that it might involve Shenqian's deepest secrets, so she didn't ask Shenqian how he did it, but only asked about the result.
“I let him get away,” Shen Qian shook his head.
"Ah, why?" Youling asked curiously after being taken aback.
"Did you see the Temple of Fire that appeared high in the sky just now?" Shen Qian asked.
"I see it! That must be the Temple of the Fire God. Even across the vast distance, I can feel the terrifying aura emanating from it. If Father hadn't said that the Fire God had indeed perished, I would have thought he was still alive!"
Youling said with lingering regret.
"You still remember the map we got from Aishamu, right? Of all the secret realms in the Nine Heavens, she marked only one place."
Shen Qian expressed his thoughts, "This must also be her first time entering the battlefield of ten thousand races. The reason she values that place so much must be because someone told her about it, or even because the original god of the Gu race guided her."
"So?" Youling blinked.
"This means that place must be the most important of all the secret realms in the Nine Heavens."
Shen Qian said confidently, "The Gu Clan is not ranked high among the myriad races. Since the Gu Clan knows such a secret, then the Giant Spirit Clan and the Witch Clan will also know it."
"You mean, if Zain were to enter the Nine Heavens, he would also choose to go there?"
Youling seemed to understand something.
“The Nine Heavens is a complete ancient battlefield, and the maps of that place are too vague. If Zain knows more information, he would be the best guide.”
Shen Qian frowned and said, "I fled all the way from the Fifth Heaven battlefield to the Eighth Heaven. Apart from Zain, Ulan and the others did not appear. This can only mean that they have a more important goal."
“The Temple of Fire God!” Youling interjected.
“That’s right, it must be the Temple of Fire. The strange phenomena just now are enough to prove that there must be something more attractive to them inside the Temple of Fire.”
He exhaled a breath of stale air. "I'm worried that we've already lost the initiative, so I'll let Zain live a little longer for now."
"Shall we go to the Ninth Heaven now?" After understanding Shen Qian's plan, You Ling nodded.
"No rush. Zain is easily frightened right now, and he's seriously injured. We need to give him some time to clear the way."
Shen Qian shook his head. "I need to refine some pills for later use. Also... there are still some fish that slipped through the net that I haven't dealt with yet."
Seeing the murderous intent flashing in Shen Qian's eyes, You Ling couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
She wanted to persuade Shen Qian to stop, but then she thought that Shen Qian could never turn back. Even if he stopped now, the gods would not let him go. So she could only let Shen Qian go.
She was pondering how to get her father to intervene and protect Shen Qian, but then, as if remembering something, You Ling's eyes darkened.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Having already walked a short distance, Shen Qian noticed that You Ling hadn't followed, and couldn't help but call out to her in surprise.
"They're here!" Youling quickly followed, her lively smile returning to her face.
