Chapter 845: Demon Emperor Zi Xue
The Demon and Thunder clans found a relatively flat patch of forest in the Wood District. After clearing the land a bit, they gradually built a temporary shelter. There were a total of several hundred people from two clans, and this was where they would live for five months. Heavenly Wood City had been destroyed, so they had no choice but to come here.
With Bai Lan and Lei Ji guarding this place, nothing was expected to happen. Setting up camp had taken quite some time, and Long Chen estimated that if someone had seen Xiaolang on that day, the news had likely traveled to Wu Lian and the other Divine clan experts.
Therefore, he decided to leave for a while and reappear in five months. This was meant to not only keep him safe, but also to avoid causing trouble for the Demon clan. If he stayed here and Wu Lian decided to be aggressive, innocent people could get hurt. Bai Lan would surely protect him, but two masters fighting here was a lose-lose situation for everyone present.
Once Bai Lan and everyone else settled down, Long Chen called Bai Lan and Lei Ji into an elegantly built wooden house. He told them what happened before he went to Tianyi Water City.
“What?!” Bai Lan and Lei Ji were shocked. Although Wu Guangyu had lost to Long Chen once, he still had a famous reputation. Anything that happened to a figure like that would surely rock the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory. He was a powerful cultivator of the younger generation who controlled the future of the Divine clan and was a taboo topic amongst the other clans. Yet Long Chen had killed Wu Guangyu just like that. This was shocking news to them.
Long Chen had become powerful enough to kill a strong foe like Wu Guangyu and remain unharmed. Bai Lan and Lei Ji had no choice but to stare at him in shock.
“When I killed him, there was no one around who witnessed it. However, Xiaolang came out when we were dealing with the ancient tree, so it is possible that someone saw him. That is why I want to move. I’ll come meet you guys when the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm opens.”
Bai Lan furrowed his brows and said, “With the way you're taking, you’ve already made your decision, right?”
Long Chen replied, “If I don’t … The Divine clan, especially their matriarch, Wu Lian, might come here. If they see me here, they’ll likely cause a lot of trouble for you guys. I want to find a place to cultivate in private. It’ll be the same.”
