As Yu TianQee darted into the ancient road.

The soul force suppressing the ancient road's chains was also withdrawn by Little Fairy.

Even if not withdrawn, Little Fairy could no longer suppress it.

At this time, Qin Chen had already pushed open the castle's door.

Entering the old castle, Qin Chen didn't first observe the surroundings but turned back to close the door.

He could imagine what was going to happen on the ancient road next.

Honestly, he hadn't expected Yu TianQee to follow so closely; his original plan was to grab the opportunity inside the castle and flee.

Originally, the restrictions on the iron chains were triggered by Qin Chen's actions.

Now with Yu TianQee and his group surging into the ancient road without concealment, it naturally added fuel to the fire.

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from the chains.

"Not good!"

The sudden change with the chains startled Yu TianQee and his two companions, realizing things had gone awry.

They didn't even have time to wonder why Qin Chen was fine, while they triggered the mechanisms.

Because at this moment.

Just as Little Fairy predicted, after the restrictions on the chains were triggered, the chains behaved as if they were alive, and the sound of 'clinking' echoed—the sound of the chains frantically stretching.

Yu TianQee and his companions' figures were almost instantly bound midway, unable to move.

Moreover, the chains kept extending crazily, seemingly intent on strangling the three of them to death.

These iron chains were clearly not ordinary.

An unusual aura emanated from the chains, and even when Yu TianQee swung the Tongtian Spiritual Artifact Star Blade down, it didn't sever them.

Ouyang Panxue and the others watched the entire process.

Seeing Yu TianQee and his companions in such dire straits, a trace of shock appeared in Ouyang Panxue's eyes.

They were also curious why Qin Chen was unaffected while Yu TianQee's group triggered the mechanism.

However, they didn't dwell on it and quickly slipped away.

Yu TianQee and his companions, trapped by the chains, couldn't spare a thought for Ouyang Panxue.

They didn't even notice that Ouyang Panxue and the others had already left.

"Bastard! Bastard!!! That damn guy!!!"

Jiang Xie trembled with rage, unleashing all his power, and the overwhelming aura shook the void, causing the chains to radiate brilliant light.

It felt as if he might burst the chains with sheer strength.

Yu TianQee's face contorted, and in the next moment, he activated the Artifact Spirit Pattern on the Star Blade.

A brilliant starlight immediately shone forth, dazzling and magnificent.

"Break for me...!"

In the next moment, with a roar, Yu TianQee's power erupted, and an explosive sound filled the air. He swung the Star Blade violently at the chains binding him.

Clang!

Despite everything, he was still Yu TianQee, his strength exceptionally formidable, and with that strike, he actually severed several of the chains binding him.

"Break!!!"

With another shout, the Star Blade unleashed its full starlight, akin to the sun's rays, the 'Heavenly Star Saber Intent' whirled fiercely.

The Heavenly Star Saber Intent was what Yu TianQee had comprehended, currently at the Level 5 Entry Realm, its power formidable.

Clang—

With another resounding boom, Yu TianQee managed to free himself as the chains binding him were cut off completely.

"Qin Chen!!!"

As soon as he was freed, Yu TianQee's gaze locked onto the castle, ready to dash out, not caring about Ning He and Jiang Xie's fates.

All he wanted was to settle the score with Qin Chen!

Since he'd seen that Ouyang Panxue and Li Linfeng had left as an excuse.

With Ouyang Panxue gone, he felt no need to hold back!

He'd tolerated Qin Chen for far too long!

Swish, swish, swish—

But just as he prepared to rush out, more chains sliced through space like snakes, surging towards him.

"Get out of my way!!!"

Truly enraged, Yu TianQee swung the Star Blade as if to cleave the sky apart.

Yet, as these chains were not human, knowing no pain, Yu TianQee's considerable power didn't frighten them.

Instead, they charged furiously at Yu TianQee, almost causing him to explode with anger.

He couldn't advance even a step.

Meanwhile.

Inside the ancient castle.

After entering, Qin Chen shut the door behind him.

The outside noise seemed completely cut off, not a sound could be heard.

Yet Qin Chen knew outside was bustling.

Not thinking further, Qin Chen turned his attention inside the castle.

This castle was clearly once inhabited.

However, it was apparent that due to a long period without anyone cleaning, the entire castle was covered in dust, even with cobwebs, a scene of desolation.

Wandering inside, Qin Chen eventually came to a halt at the center of the castle, atop a high platform.

There, Qin Chen sensed strong telekinetic energy.

"This is a cultivation array, specifically for a Telekinesis Master, akin to a Gathering Essence Array, which can gather telekinetic energy from the heavens and earth for cultivation," Little Fairy said.

"A Telekinesis Master's cultivation array, huh?" Qin Chen muttered, a bit regretfully.

Pressed for time, he couldn't afford to cultivate there.

His gaze then landed on an ancient wooden box on the platform.

Dust had merged with the wooden box.

Qin Chen picked it up and brushed off the dust, immediately smelling a fragrant aroma.

"It's millennia-old agarwood," Little Fairy said.

Raising an eyebrow, Qin Chen knew millennia-old agarwood was quite valuable.

He proceeded to open the agarwood box.

A golden key appeared in Qin Chen's view.

"It's Saint Gold."

"The same material as the Saint Son Gold Token," Qin Chen commented, picking up the key.

"There are traces of telekinetic energy on the key, too."

Examining the key closely, Qin Chen concluded that it might unlock a cave mansion or relic.

As for what specifically, he couldn't determine.

But one thing he was sure of was its connection to telekinesis.

"But where exactly can this key unlock a cave mansion or relic?"

This thought left Qin Chen somewhat vexed.

He thoroughly searched the castle but found nothing else useful or informative.

Ultimately, Qin Chen shook his head in resignation, sighing.

"I'll have to find another opportunity," he thought.

He walked towards the castle door wondering.

"I wonder how those three are doing?" Qin Chen mused as he blinked.
