Stepping over blood that covered the ground, Chen Qi entered the little courtyard on trembling legs.
Seeing Wang Chen standing unharmed beneath the eaves, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fellow Daoist Wang, are you all right?"
He had heard the commotion from here while at home, but had no idea what had happened. Only now had he mustered the courage to come over and take a look.
"I'm fine."
Wang Chen said to Chen Qi, "I'm leaving."
Chen Qi was instantly shocked. "Where are you going? You don't want this house anymore?"
From Wang Chen's meaning, he clearly intended to leave Dongwu Stockade and never return.
To bid him farewell!
"I just killed some people from the Guard Hall."
Wang Chen explained, "I'm afraid they'll come looking for trouble again, so I can't keep the house either."
The Guard Hall!
Chen Qi's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Wang Chen had said it lightly, but Chen Qi knew full well how serious this matter was.
Everyone knew that Dongwu Stockade's Guard Hall had been established by Xin Han specifically for the Golden Snake Gentleman.
Now that this Purple Mansion master had gone into seclusion and refused to emerge, no one could restrain the Golden Snake Gentleman. As a result, the Guard Hall's power had continued to swell, its arrogance soaring sky-high within Dongwu Stockade.
Wang Chen had actually killed people from the Guard Hall. How could the Golden Snake Gentleman possibly let this rest?
Chen Qi blurted out, "You... where are you going?"
The moment the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly waved his hands. "Pretend I didn't ask!"
Wang Chen had caused a huge disaster and was about to flee. How could he reveal his whereabouts to others?
