"It's time!" Chen Fan nodded, his expression somewhat grave. If that Monster Beast truly became a scourge, then he would have no choice but to take Chen Jingjing and the others away for real.
Now, all they could do was wait for news from Old Yellow Tooth.
After making some simple preparations, Chen Fan stepped out of the stone chamber and told Chen Jingjing and the others that he would be leaving for a while. They were all somewhat worried. Though half a year had already passed, they knew the outside world's hunt for Chen Fan would not cease.
"There's no need to worry. They can do nothing to me!" With the Avatar Dao Talisman, and with the Burning Gold Scripture having advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Chen Fan had every confidence in saying those words.
"Come back soon!" Qin Xian'er's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind. She stood behind Chen Jingjing and Zhang Rumeng, smiling at Chen Fan while concealing the faint trace of worry in her eyes.

A beam of warm sunlight poured down over him, making him feel immensely comfortable.

Then he took a slight step forward. His entire body flickered, turning into a phantom as he vanished from where he stood.
He concealed his aura the entire way, moving stealthily through uninhabited areas and circling back along the original route toward the exit of Demon King
