The tremendous explosion startled every cultivator in the surrounding area.
Everyone could tell that it had been caused by a tremendously powerful treasure, but no one could guess what it was.
Streaks of escapist light lit up one after another in every direction, all flying toward the source of the explosion to investigate.
Even the more distant Qingyun Sect and Mount-Relying Sect received word and sent people to investigate.
Blue Butterfly changed into another set of clothes and mingled with the people going to investigate, hoping to see whether Luo Ziqing was still alive. He was crucial to a major plan of hers.
But when she saw the enormous crater left by the explosion and the scraps of flesh beside it, she immediately flew into a furious frenzy.
Chen Lin moved cautiously, keeping close to the ground. Before he even reached Guyuan City, he saw streaks of escapist light flying out of it.
After he entered the city, even the mortals inside were running out to crane their necks and watch.
Those mortals did not seem particularly frightened, however. In a city where immortals and mortals lived together, they had long since grown accustomed to frequent abnormal incidents-or perhaps they had simply become numb to them.
Chen Lin hid among the crowd, pretending to look around with curiosity as he made his way back to his lodgings.
Once back, he began packing, taking everything important and abandoning the rest. Then he left the courtyard without hesitation and headed straight for the North City Gate.
He had to leave this place and head to Pingyang City.
If Pingyang City was unsettled as well, he would continue north, straight to Xingyun City, the capital of Yan Country. Alternatively, he could go to the immortal cultivation market near the Blazing Sun Sect's headquarters.
