"Three months from now, we will leave the Great River District!"
This sudden decision took everyone by surprise.
Even so newcors thought they might have misheard, their faces showed puzzlent.
Qin Liangchen asked perplexedly, "Leave the Great River District? Is it just you... Chairman Luo, or all of us together?"
The words on the tip of his tongue were initially "Luo Chen".
But subconsciously, it beca "Chairman".
This unnatural scene went unnoticed by anyone.
Luo Chen looked at him and said calmly, "It could be just , or it could be all of us together, it’s up to you."
Implicitly,
aning he, Luo Chen, had made up his mind to leave.
If the cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed are willing to follow him, then they will leave together.
If they don’t wish to, he won’t force them.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"Why?"
The one who spoke was Duan Feng, who hadn’t been seen for a long ti.
With the passage of three years, he had matured and beco more steady, and he even had a short beard.
And his question was what everyone wanted to ask.
The Luo Tian Creed had worked hard to get to where it was.
They possessed the two spirit lands of Xiao Huan Mountain and Crescent Valley.
The number of cultivators under their command has exceeded three hundred.
All aspects of their business, connections, and domains were gradually coming into order.
Now, they were asked to just up and leave.
Who would want that?
Who could bear to?
Facing everyone’s doubts, Luo Chen appeared calm.
Yet, the words he spoke were incredibly grave.
"Inside Ghost City, a Ghost King Level existence has appeared. Though suppressed by the residual power of the Golden Core Ascendant Master, its escape is inevitable."
"I estimate that its breakout will happen in half a year, a year at the latest!"
"The Great River District is no longer a safe place!"
At these words, everyone was deeply shocked.
In the midst of the shock, their faces were filled with horror.
A Ghost King Level existence!
That’s a formidable existence comparable to the Golden Core Realm in the Path of Immortal.
Unlike ghost cultivators who voluntarily switch their cultivation to the Path of Ghost, the Ghost King in the Great River District must be ford from the massive Yin energy absorbed by Resentful Souls after death.
It’s difficult to speculate on how much Spirit Intelligence these entities possess.
But they are naturally aggressive against any living beings.
If this is true, the Great River District cannot even be considered a wicked place anymore.
In the future, it would surely beco a land of death.
Sima Huiniang, in shock, said: "Could it be... the anomaly in the Ghost City yesterday?"
Suddenly, everyone recalled the earth-shaking event in Ghost City the day before.
At the ti, every cultivator near the Great River District sensed it.
But then, the uproar gradually subsided.
Low-ranking Rogue Cultivators had no way to investigate inside the Ghost City, so they could only suppress their doubts.
But it seed like it was indeed an on of the forthcoming Ghost King.
Upon Luo Chen’s solemn nod,
everyone fell into despair.
If it truly was so, they really had to leave their familiar Great River District.
Luo Chen remained silent, giving everyone enough ti to accept this reality.
His gaze swept over everyone.
Suddenly, his eyes paused.
At the end of the hall, a vaguely familiar young man was holding Sister Mi Li’s hand tightly.
Frowning slightly, Luo Chen averted his gaze.
He spoke directly:
"Although, according to my estimation, it will at least take half a year for that Ghost King to break free."
"But we can’t cut it too close with our timing, in case we can’t keep up, and if it escapes prematurely, it will be a great disaster."
"Three months!"
"In three months, we will pack up and leave the Great River District to continue our cultivation elsewhere."
Luo Chen’s words echoed in the hall.
After accepting the existence of the Ghost King, everyone’s shock gradually faded.
They began to seriously contemplate their future course of action.
Going it alone, living the life of a Rogue Cultivator without support or backing, is absolutely impossible.
Now that Luo Chen was willing to take them with him, it was undoubtedly the best option.
Listening to Luo Chen’s words, everyone’s emotions gradually cald down.
With a leader, many things are no longer uncertain.
The only thing that puzzled them was one matter.
"Ahem ahem..."
Granny Yuan asked weakly, "Chairman, where should we go?"
...
"So, you want to beco Dao Companion Cultivators with Sister Mi Li?"
The hall was completely empty.
Only Luo Chen, who was seated high above, and Qu Lingjun, who was kneeling on the ground remained.
The mild and calm words fell like a heavy burden.
Qu Lingjun trembled and said firmly, "That’s what I intend!"
Luo Chen looked at him indifferently, "How old are you this year? What’s your Cultivation stage?"
"I am eighteen this year, at the Fifth Level Qi Refinent Stage."
Luo Chen’s corner of the mouth twitched, "You started cultivation at twelve and after six years, with the full support of the Luo Tian Creed, you’ve just barely reached the Fifth Level Qi Refinent Stage."
"My aptitude is dull..."
"If you yourself know your aptitude is poor, why do you still put your mind on these romantic feelings?"
The tone of the latter sentence was considerably heavier.
Qu Lingjun’s body trembled slightly, he didn’t dare to et Luo Chen’s gaze.
He was afraid of seeing the look of disappointnt in his eyes.
He could only lower his head and say, "Sister Mi Li has been very good to since I was a kid. During the period when you broke through to Foundation Establishnt, she taught diligently how to refine pills."
"These three years, my grandfather’s health has been deteriorating, and I can’t fail your expectations. I have to cultivate diligently, refine pills diligently. Many tis, she has been the one taking care of my severely ill grandfather."
"Two years ago, when my grandfather passed away, I was at my most lost. She was there for ..."
So, Qu Hancheng, that old man finally left.
