Chapter 929: Laying Low and Waiting for the Right Moment
The devastating battle had ended barely a month ago, and the controversy was still raging; everyone was still talking about it, and there were even more serious rumors circulating.
Some said that Jian Shen suddenly defected and joined the Devil Cult, turning his back on the battlefield, which led to the total annihilation of the Martial Arts community.
Others claimed that under the leadership of Jian Shen and the Martial Arts Alliance leader, the heroes had united and were on the verge of defeating the Devil Cult, when unexpectedly, some Westerners appeared, ultimately causing heavy casualties among the Martial Arts heroes.
There were also those who questioned why Jian Shen’s remains were not found at the scene, suggesting he might still be alive. As for where Jian Shen went or what exactly happened in that battle, only Jian Shen himself could reveal.
However, there were speculations that perhaps Jian Shen had died from his severe injuries in the wilderness, or had been knocked off a cliff, otherwise, why would he not show himself for such a long time? He was no longer the enemy of the entire Martial Arts community; there was no need for him to keep hiding.
Of course, these rumors also reached Lin Xi’s ears. As she walked down the street, she showed no reaction, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
When she arrived at the entrance of a pharmacy, Lin Xi carefully observed her surroundings and, seeing no one following her, entered the establishment, bypassing the owner’s greetings and walking directly into the backyard.
This pharmacy was owned by a good friend of Jian Shen, and it was here that Jian Shen was now resting, also to stay out of everyone’s sight.
Lu Bei sighed with resignation, "My heavens, I’ve been hiding here for a month. How much longer do we have to stay? Don’t you find it stifling?"
