Chapter 893: Lure
After making his decision, Long Chen headed towards Scarlet Water City.
Initially, he wanted to go directly to the Underworld Estate. However, he was unsure about Xiong Jun’s situation and decided to check on him.
Logically speaking, Zhao Kongming should have left because he had failed to get the Heavenly Fortune Pill. Long Chen was only returning to Scarlet Water City to confirm his thoughts.
If he was right, Zhao Kongming was likely the most common kind of Underworld Soldier, one at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage. Long Chen had now reached the Third Heavenly Martial Stage, so he could barely fight a Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator.
Of course, it was only barely.
If he wanted to defeat one, it would be quite difficult.
He snuck into Scarlet Water City once again. This time, he hurried directly to the inn where he had previously stayed. It was not a huge city, so it didn’t take long to arrive. He remembered which room Zhao Kongming was in, and using his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he could easily look inside it. As expected, Zhao Kongming had not left yet, and Xiong Jun was there too.
Zhao Kongming had said that he would leave Scarlet Water City immediately after he got the Heavenly Fortune Pill, so why was he still here? Something was wrong. Also, Long Chen sensed that Xiong Jun’s consciousness was withering, and he was barely breathing.
Long Chen was immediately on guard.
