Chapter 549: Soul Lock
Chen Qing stood on the sand dune, quietly turning things over in his mind.
Shen Qinghong at his side had already gathered the Lingxiao Upper Sect's disciples together. She walked quickly to Chen Qing's side and lowered her voice. "Chen boy, the urgent report from the sect is pressing hard. I have to return to the Eight Dao lands at once."
"You have consecutively killed several Fifth Revolution experts on this trip. Jinting and the Great Snow Mountain will absolutely not let this rest. Be sure to take extra care on the return journey, and do not venture into danger alone."
"Senior Shen, rest easy. I understand," Chen Qing gave a slight nod. "If anything changes in the Eight Dao lands and there is any use for Chen Qing, simply send word."
Shen Qinghong looked at him for a long moment, said nothing more, turned and swept her arm outward, and led the assembled Lingxiao Upper Sect experts in a dash toward the southwest. In no more than a few breaths, their figures had vanished into the endless yellow sand.
With her departure, quite a few of the experts present keenly sensed something was off.
The battlefield that had been on the razor's edge of a fight to the death had ceased hostilities, but Grandmasters from every faction were still on alert. The Lingxiao Upper Sect, as one of the Yan Kingdom's Six Great Upper Sects, was withdrawing in a rush at this moment. Something world-shaking had clearly occurred.
The experts from the Nineteen Western Regions Nations and the Que Religion looked on one after another, whispering among themselves, yet no one could guess at the details.
"Sect Master Jiang, do you know what has actually happened?"
