As they spoke, the group had already reached the entrance to the examination grounds.
Qing Chen stopped and slowly turned around.
The faint smile on his face vanished without a trace.
Deep within his eyes, a speck of scarlet abruptly lit up. Like thick ink dropped into clear water, it dyed his entire pupils a terrifying blood-red in an instant!
An exceedingly faint yet heart-palpitating layer of demonic baleful energy shrouded his entire face;
the contours of his features twisted slightly in the light and shadow, becoming indistinct and exuding an inhuman eeriness.
One moment, he had been like a tranquil deep sea; the next, his demonic flames surged to the heavens!
"Are you teaching this marquis how to do things?"
His voice carried a chill that pierced straight into the divine soul.
Su Zixuan, Lin Changsheng, Duan Tianya, and Gao Yuliang felt a terrifying pressure that struck fear into their most primal instincts descend upon their heads!
Even the circulation of the golden cores within them instantly froze!
Cold sweat immediately seeped from their foreheads and backs, soaking their inner garments.
They did not even dare look directly into Qing Chen's eyes, which had turned dark and fathomless, as though connected to a sea of blood;
they lowered their heads in unison and held their breath. Then, with several thuds, they dropped to one knee without hesitation.
Even the surrounding air seemed to grow thick and icy beneath this nearly tangible killing intent, leaving them unable to breathe.
Just then, Qing Chen moved.
He did not even turn to look at the examination grounds. He merely raised his right hand casually and made a grasping motion toward the densely packed examination cubicles in the southeastern corner, several hundred zhang away!
The motion was effortless, like brushing a fallen leaf
