The power Xia Duoduo had just unleashed was truly astonishing. To prevent any more members of the World King Palace from being injured, Liu Teng decided he would capture her himself.
He then touched the point between his eyebrows with two fingers, and a wisp of Divine Sense emerged.
"Follow the direction indicated by this wisp of Divine Sense and pursue them."
"Yes!" After receiving Liu Teng’s command, the man nodded. He then led several other members of the World King Palace in pursuit, heading in the direction Long Chen and Chu Lingjun had fled.
「Meanwhile.」
Long Chen and Chu Lingjun had arrived in a vast mountain range. A short while ago, Chu Lingjun had crushed a token, allowing them to teleport away successfully. After escaping, they had traveled continuously until they reached this secluded mountain, where they finally stopped to rest.
Long Chen looked back in the direction they had fled from, his heart filled with worry for Xia Duoduo.
Seeing how worried Long Chen was, Chu Lingjun comforted him, "Don’t worry. She said she had a way to escape, so she should be fine."
"I hope so." Long Chen nodded. "By the way, you’re not at Martial Ancestor. What brings you here?"
"I..." Chu Lingjun was about to blurt out that she wanted to help Long Chen through this calamity, but the words caught in her throat.
She could only say evasively, "Long Xin won’t be at ease until you’ve escaped safely. So, I came to check on you."
"I see." Long Chen nodded slightly. "Thank you for coming all this way for me."
Chu Lingjun turned away, not daring to look him in the eye. She waved a hand dismissively. "Alright, spare me the pleasantries. Just stay alive so I don’t have to collect your corpse. Got it?"
Long Chen gave a faint smile. "Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to kill."
Chu Lingjun asked, "What are your plans now?"
"I’ve offended the World King Palace. If they find me, they’ll undoubtedly continue to hunt me down.
"Until I become truly powerful, I’m afraid there’s no place left for me in the Mysterious Heavenly Realm.
"It seems my only remaining option is to go to the God-Devil Domain."
"You’re going to the God-Devil Domain?" Chu Lingjun’s expression grew serious. "You need to think this through. That place eats people alive; once you enter, you’ll face countless dangers."
"Do I have any other choice?" Long Chen gave a bitter smile. "Besides, from what Shangguan Pojun and the others said before they died, my father was also taken by people from the God-Devil Domain.
"His whereabouts are unknown, and I must find him as soon as possible.
"So, I have to go to the God-Devil Domain. There’s no other way."
Hearing this, Chu Lingjun sighed softly. She had witnessed his incredible performance with her own eyes. He not only won first place in the Demon Pursuit Conference but also became the first disciple in Martial Ancestor’s history to be exceptionally promoted to a First-class Disciple. Everything should have been heading in a positive direction. Instead, after so many twists and turns, he had become a fugitive, constantly on the run. And there was nothing they could do to change any of it.
In the midst of their conversation, everything suddenly fell silent. Long Chen and Chu Lingjun exchanged a look, their expressions slowly turning grave.
With their keen senses, they both detected several powerful auras at the same time. The auras were rapidly approaching the mountain from the direction they had just fled.
