Several months had passed since the Black God Barrier dissipated. Chen Fei had always assumed that the bond that had made him one of their own inside the barrier had already been severed.
He had never expected the Black God to begin calling to him of its own accord now.
Chen Fei stood where he was for a moment, then returned to Qianyan City.
Even if this truly was the Black God's call, Chen Fei could not simply swagger out of the Sacred City.
The sacred lands governed this place now. Even Mountain Sea Realm cultivators had to register when entering or leaving the Sacred City.
If Chen Fei left the city in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, he would be easy to track down if anything actually happened afterward.
The Black God's call to its servants certainly was not directed at Chen Fei alone.
In other words, some Mountain Sea Realm cultivators might very well have already betrayed their side and pledged loyalty to the Black God.
Whether they coveted the technique insights once offered in the Black God Barrier, believed humans and demonic beasts could not stop the Black God, or had some other reason, there were traitors in their ranks now.
The Sun Moon Realm cultivators of the sacred lands were presumably taking precautions against this as well.
After all, self-interest was an instinctive response for any living being. Expecting so many humans and demonic beasts to devote themselves wholeheartedly to fighting the Black God was unrealistic to begin with.
Chen Fei stood inside Tingfeng Courtyard, looking up at the sky.
He certainly would not leave the city anytime soon. At the very least, he would wait ten days or half a month, find a suitable opportunity, and leave naturally then.
