Chen Mo had actually sensed a hint of warning from the earlier tremor.
However, his Spiritual Sense was suppressed inside the tower, leaving him unable to see what the tower's Upper Levels were like. Especially within the tower, there were exceptionally powerful and intricate spatial formations, which further affected his Spiritual Sense.
Therefore, he had only suspected that the Monsters' retreat from the tower had been triggered by that tremor.
Chen Mo did not follow Rhine and the others until they had gone so far that he could no longer see them. However, after considering it carefully, he changed his appearance once more into that of an ordinary Han Chinese man instead of disguising himself as Vassily.
After his Spiritual Sense detected those fluctuations, he had begun to worry. The source of the fluctuations seemed dangerous. His Spiritual Sea's premonitions of danger were highly accurate. When he sensed the fluctuations, his Spiritual Sea had also stirred, as if foretelling danger.
If his Spiritual Sea could foresee danger, then Nangong Xue—an ordinary person with no abilities at all—might encounter danger while traveling with Rhine's team. He could not simply stand by without helping her.
After all, he knew this woman and had crossed paths with her before. From their previous interactions, he could also sense that Nangong Xue seemed to have feelings for him. However, he already had Shen Tingting, so he had not responded to those feelings. Now that he also had Ouyang Ruo Xi, he could no longer accept another woman.
But not accepting her did not mean he would refuse to lend a hand when she was in danger. If Nangong Xue encountered danger later, he could rescue her. Wearing Vassily's face would make that inconvenient, so he might as well use an ordinary man's face. At least
