It was only after the man walked for ten minutes that he heard a loud explosion behind him. A cloud of flames came from where the bar used to be.
”Looks like the formation worked,” Xun said, noticing the cloud of flames. “That should remove some of the evidence about what happened there.”
”It won’t help in the long run. The White Tiger King will soon realize something is wrong. All the Royal Guards of his had died in that bar. Even if he won’t find the bodies and know how they died, it will certainly make him suspicious. We need to leave this town,” Long Chen responded lazily.
A thick killing intent was surrounding his body after he performed the Forbidden Dance of Death. There was also an elated feeling in his heart as if he was enjoying what he just did. It was as if there was a thirst in his heart that was just satiated.
Moreover, he doesn’t know why but instead of feeling weak after using so much of his energy, he felt more energetic, as if killing had given him strength. It was unclear how it could even be possible. He kept this thing to himself and didn’t tell Long Tian or Xun.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one who could feel his thick killing intent. There were many people on the street who sensed it. They all cleared the path of Long Chen and moved aside.
”I still don’t understand why the White Tiger King would come to this town. There must be something really important to bring him here. I even wonder if he is looking for some treasure here. That would make sense,” Xun muttered, frowning.
”In which universe will it make sense? If it was just about treasures, White Tiger King could’ve sent any of his men to retrieve it. It wasn’t as if there was anyone who could offend him. Moreover, the Godly Beasts don’t use Treasured weapons. They only use Soul Weapons that they make, so there was no threat of a weapon appearing here as well. A treasure won’t bring him here,” Long Chen responded lazily. “It’s something else.”
”What could it be then? Should we investigate?” Long Tian suggested.
”If you want me to die, then sure we can. I can take out guards, but it’ll be a different story fighting the White Tiger King in the condition I am in. It’s like fighting Zhu Chang’s father. I don’t have that strength without my laws,” Long Chen replied, rolling his eyes.
”That flaming bar would be surrounded soon. The entire city will be seated as soon as the White Tiger King finds out what happened. We need to get out of here before that happens,” he further added as he reached the border of the town.
There was a guard who was already blocking the main exit.
”Let’s take a different route,” Xun suggested.
”We are in a race against time. We don’t have time to change directions,” Long Chen let out as he kept walking toward the guard. The man wasn’t a Royal, after all, so he was much weaker than the man Long Chen had faced.
The guard gestured for Long Chen to stop, seeing him coming from a distance. Long Chen didn’t stop, though.
”I am on the Royal Duty!” Long Chen revealed his hands. “We have information that a criminal has escaped in that direction.”
The guard looked in the direction Long Chen pointed in. “I don’t remember anyone going there. Are you sur-argh!”
The guard coughed out a mouthful of blood as a sword passed through his chest. His body soon disappeared. Long Chen sent the body back to his storage ring. He couldn’t leave a dead body on his trail. Not even a droplet of blood was left behind.
With his hands in his pocket, Long Chen stood in his Spirit Sword, which started flying away. He also gave Xun a similar sword. Both of them traveled, soon disappearing into the horizon.
Back in the town, the explosion had woken up the White Tiger King from his slumber. He woke up and left the hotel, wondering what that sound was.
As he reached the raging in flames bar, he sensed the aura of his men coming from inside. The aura was very weak, as if the people were killed, yet a trail of their aura was left behind.
Without wasting a single second, he entered the burning bar and started observing.
”There is a stinking aura here… Someone created a formation to explode this place. Whoever it was, they wanted to kill my men. But casting the formation would’ve taken time. If my men were here, they would’ve noticed it and stopped it. Unless… They couldn’t stop it?” The King muttered.
”That means whoever did it didn’t use the formation to kill them. Instead, they used the formation to remove the traces of how he Killed them and remove his aura from this place!”
The King didn’t even take a few seconds before realizing what might have caused these fires and what happened here.
”Someone from outside has intruded my realm. But for them to appear right here! Could they be after it as well?” He exclaimed as his frown deepened.
He stepped out of the bar. Even though many of his men were killed, there were still some who were alive. They all stood before the King in line.
”Did you see who did it?” The King asked.
All the men shook their heads. “We weren’t here when it happened. We only came after the explosion.”
”Prepare yourself. There is a change in schedule. Instead of going there tomorrow, we will do it today!” The King commanded.
”Yes, My Lord!” All the men agreed. They started flying behind the White Tiger King, who was flying in the same direction in which Long Chen had flown.
It wasn’t that he was following Long Chen. Instead, his target was coincidentally in the same direction. The reason he was here laid there. Even though Long Chen didn’t know it, he was unintentionally flying towards the reason that brought the White Tiger King here.
Long Chen had his eyes closed as he flew in the direction of the Royal City. It was Long Tian who flew with Long Chen who noticed something on the ground.
”What is that?”
