Tongtian's Choice

After obtaining ten percent of the Human Race's Fortune from Nuwa, Lu Chen watched as she vanished in a flash. He did not linger either, returning directly to Biyou Palace.

At this moment, only Tongtian was in Biyou Palace. The Seven Attendant Immortals were absent, and even Water-Fire Youth was nowhere beside him to attend him.
