No wonder Zhang Chen was dazed. Anyone else in his place would have been just as bewildered, wouldn't they?
The information revealed in Queen Mother of the West's words was simply vast beyond measure. Zhang Chen was left stunned—how could someone as powerful as Queen Mother of the West have her path home cut off?
"Where is Your Majesty's home?" Zhang Chen asked cautiously.
By now, he no longer feared offending Queen Mother of the West, because whether he offended her or not, the outcome would not change in the slightest. Queen Mother of the West would not kill him.
He was someone useful to Queen Mother of the West!
Queen Mother of the West withdrew her gaze from the heavens and looked at Zhang Chen. "A place very, very far away. Or perhaps... a place I can never return to."
Queen Mother of the West said no more, focusing on devouring the energy between heaven and earth. Seeing this, Zhang Chen did not dare ask further questions, lest he provoke her.
Time flew by. Before long, Empress Biyun led a thousand Golden Armored Warriors beneath the altar. Then Empress Biyun ascended the ritual platform and came before Queen Mother of the West, bowing respectfully. "Reporting to Your Majesty, the thousand Golden Armored Warriors have all been assembled. Please issue your command."
A divine gleam appeared in Queen Mother of the West's eyes at those words. She said to Zhang Chen, "Jia Eighteen, your Substitute Death Technique has reached great mastery. Those thousand Golden Armored Warriors below are all your substitutes in death. Let me see your divine ability."
Zhang Chen's heart jolted violently. Those thousand people were all to serve as his substitutes in death? What exactly did Queen Mother of the West want him to do for her?
