Chen Guan had no idea that the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army had already entered the northwest. Of course, even if he had known, he would not have cared much.
Back when Protector Chen had severely injured Ling Ying, the clue Chen Guan had deliberately left behind while rescuing him had merely been an idle move.
Even if Ling Ying's status was not high, he was still backed by the Ancient Clan. At the right moment, he could still be of some use.
Naturally, Chen Guan was not foolish enough to leave behind the royal family's emblem. Unless he chose to admit it himself, no amount of investigation would lead them back to him.
Black Mountain Fortress.
Chen Guan went straight back to his room.
Logically, after returning, he should have told Queen Medusa so she would not worry. But he truly did not want to go over there. "I didn't conceal my aura when I returned. They should have noticed already."
Muttering to himself, Chen Guan formed a hand seal and swiftly entered a cultivation state.
It was not until the sky began to brighten that his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. He looked toward the two rooms that made him somewhat wary, his gaze deep and focused, as though it could pierce through the walls.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Guan quickly rose to his feet.
In the end, he encountered Jia Xingtian atop the fortress city wall. Jia Xingtian had likewise sensed the abnormality.
"Four unfamiliar auras, along with a hint of familiarity, entered Queen Medusa's room. None of them are very strong, though. They are probably around Yun Shan's level."
Jia Xingtian looked serious, but he was not overly worried.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, Queen Medusa was indeed stronger than him.
