Li Yun was quick-witted and instantly saw through the Ancient Emperor Changqing's concerns.
The entire Hengwu Domain was in chaos. Great Black Heaven and the Blood God Cult had gone mad, slaughtering people everywhere to vent their fury.
As lord of a domain, the Ancient Emperor Changqing bore the fate of billions of lives across the ancient domain on his shoulders. Naturally, he did not want to move against the Crimson Flame Imperial Dynasty now and draw Great Black Heaven and the Blood God Cult's attention to himself again.
It was caution, and only human nature.
As the saying went, life was hard enough without exposing another's troubles. Some things were better left unsaid.
Li Yun smiled. "Then perhaps we should keep a low profile for a while... As it happens, I've made a breakthrough recently, and I'm eager to keep cultivating. I may as well continue my seclusion."
"If the situation outside changes, please send someone to let me know in time, Senior..."
The Ancient Emperor Changqing felt a great weight lift from his heart, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He had told Li Yun the news because he feared the young man would be hotheaded after his breakthrough and rush off to destroy the Crimson Flame Imperial Dynasty.
Now that Li Yun had caught on so quickly, he was pleased.
"Focus on your seclusion..."
"Don't worry about changes outside. If anything happens that threatens us, I'll notify you at once..."
With that, the Ancient Emperor Changqing gave Li Yun a long look, then vanished in a flash.
Li Yun watched him leave, then spent another two or three days cultivating with his eyes closed. Once he was sure no one would be coming anytime soon, he opened the Gate of Myriad Wonders and teleported away
