The Master of the Demons, Chi Jiang, did not question how Shangguan Qingchen managed to know the shortcut to the Sun God Temple, but Chi Jiang did not forget the words Yu Tianqian uttered just before leaving.
Yu Tianqian once asked Shangguan Qingchen if he had encountered the Primeval Forest Deity from ancient times.
Nowadays, it seems that only such an explanation can make sense of why Shangguan Qingchen was not only unaffected by the augmented Shi Lan but has even strengthened his inner power.
At this moment, Chi Jiang is curious about whom Shangguan Qingchen might have encountered if he indeed had such a fortuitous meeting.
Chi Jiang secretly hopes that the so-called Primordial God is best a Demon God.
Even if they are not of the same clan, at least there could be some intricate connections, right?
If it turns out to be some old and esteemed Celestial God with virtues and arts, Chi Jiang would worry that he might not be on the same 'path' as those Primordial Gods.
