Luoo Tianxiao left, and as he did, many people noticed that his expression was not pleasant.
Similarly, Li Chen’s expression wasn’t much better.
In the eyes of many, it seed that the negotiations between the two had broken down.
Otherwise, why would both of them have such grim faces?
But in fact, Li Chen and Luoo Tianxiao did reach so agreents. However, this agreent did not include bringing the Palace of the Nether King under the banner of the Hongng Pavilion, which is why Luoo Tianxiao had a grim face.
Yet, Li Chen didn’t gain any advantage either, which is why he too had a grim face.
However, the expressions on their faces were more for show to others.
Both Li Chen and Luoo Tianxiao were well aware that many eyes were undoubtedly on Li Chen right now. If they wanted to do anything under such scrutiny, so cover-up was naturally needed.
And the expressions on their faces were just such a cover-up, a facade for others to see.
Such secret agreents are naturally better the fewer people know about them.
"Is everyone here?" Only after Luoo Tianxiao left did Li Chen begin to discuss matters with the people from the Palace of the Nether King.
"Our people are all here, just not the others..." a Nether Army Warrior hesitated to say.
Li Chen knew that this Nether Army Warrior must be referring to the allies of the Palace of the Nether King.
The Nether Army Warriors had to obey his orders, but those allies were different.
However, Li Chen didn’t mind because even he didn’t know what he would face next; even if those allies got involved, he couldn’t expect them to be of much help.
Since those people are interested in attending the Martial Arts Conference, let them be.
"This ti, quite a few people have targeted us. For safety reasons, I won’t be attending this Martial Arts Conference again, and you shouldn’t either. I’m afraid those people might target you," Li Chen said solemnly.
They had witnessed the previous battles, which were akin to an Asura Field— the casualty rate was simply too high. Li Chen feared that his people might not return once they went up.
"Yes!" the Nether Army Warriors nodded in unison.
This ti, aside from the Nether Army Warriors originally preparing to participate in the Martial Arts Conference, Li Chen only brought Ye Tu. None of the Nether Army Generals ca along, leaving him seriously lacking in combat power.
But Li Chen understood that against the current enemies he faced, even if others ca, they wouldn’t be of much help.
The important thing was the top-level combat power.
Li Chen noticed that this ti not only Great Grandfather but also the other three grandfathers had co. However, they had not yet shown themselves and were hidden in the shadows.
It seed that the grandfathers were well aware that a great battle was about to occur here.
"How are the investigations I’ve asked you to conduct?"
Li Chen looked at the Nether Army Warrior beside him and asked.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Nether Army Warrior’s expression beca sowhat difficult to read.
"I’ve checked the vicinity of the Kunlun Mountains. They seed prepared in advance. Even before the Martial Arts Conference began, the Kunlun Mountains were already sealed off. The entire mountain range is covered by an imnse Formation, and currently, one can only enter, not leave."
Hearing the Nether Army Warrior’s words, Li Chen’s expression grew even more difficult to behold.
Logically, such matters should be handled by people from the Hongng Pavilion themselves. However, during his conversation with Luoo Tianxiao, no such information had reached him.
One possibility was that the Hongng Pavilion was involved in this matter, the other was that Luoo Tianxiao might be unaware of it, or that people from the Hongng Pavilion were secretly bribed.
After considering, Li Chen still took the initiative to contact Luoo Tianxiao.
However, the answer he received made Li Chen’s expression rather unpleasant.
The sealing of the Kunlun Mountains was indeed done by the Hongng Pavilion. Although Luoo Tianxiao did not explain the reasons in detail, in Li Chen’s view, this matter seed related to him.
Moreover, the Formation that sealed the mountains seed intended to remain until the formal end of the Martial Arts Conference.
"It seems they’ve made up their minds to keep here," Li Chen’s face was extrely solemn.
Unable to leave, Li Chen had no choice but to return to the spectator seats once more.
The battles were still ongoing, and the scenes were extrely bloody and frantic. Each seemingly normal Martial Artist, at this mont, seed to utterly expose their slaughterous side, wildly showcasing their madness on the stage.
However, Li Chen had no interest in watching.
His current situation was far more urgent than those on the stage.
Attempting to contact the Nether Army Base, Li Chen found that his communication signal was entirely confined within the Kunlun Mountains, utterly unable to reach Catherine and others, nor could he call for reinforcents.
The Martial Arts Conference was exceedingly lengthy, especially for Li Chen and his companions.
...
It lasted for three days and three nights before the Martial Arts Conference gradually approached its end.
Li Chen glanced around; during these three days, he never left the venue. For a Martial Artist, staying awake and active for three days was nothing.
Moreover, even when not watching the battles, Li Chen had been ditating, keeping his body in its best condition.
After glancing at the stage, already in the final matches, Li Chen’s eyes twinkled montarily, then rose casually and walked toward the venue’s doors.
During these three days, so Martial Artists had grown fatigued and gone back to rest, so sudden departures like this were not unusual and did not attract attention.
Outside the venue, Li Chen’s gaze swept across and noticed Lin Yi and the Nether Army people waiting not far away.
After exchanging a glance, Li Chen walked directly in a certain direction.
The others followed Li Chen’s steps, walking in the sa direction.
The group joined together on the road.
"The Martial Arts Conference is nearly over. Ideally, the Great Formation will open soon. We don’t have much ti, and once it opens, we must leave as quickly as possible. According to the rules of the Hongng Pavilion, once we enter a city of ordinary people, these guys won’t dare act recklessly anymore," Li Chen quickly said.
At this mont, the grandfathers appeared in the group; except for Great Grandfather Bai Haoyue, the others were dressed as ordinary Nether Army soldiers, drawing no attention.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the group nodded.
Just then, a massive booming sound suddenly ca from afar.
