Ye Chen had indeed left Region Forty-Eight. The reason he had not left before was that he could only sustain the Law of Water for too short a time. Without the Law of Water, he could only travel on foot and could not fly.
Leaving Region Forty-Eight naturally meant searching for Xu Jing and Murong Qingcheng. To be honest, finding people on the Chaos Battlefield was far too difficult. Perhaps the two of them were not on the Chaos Continent, but on some island in the Chaos Sea. Ye Chen could only try his luck. He was grateful that he had given them each a set of Heaven Sacred Artifacts; otherwise, their chances of survival would have been very slim.
Natural barriers lay between regions. Of course, such so-called natural barriers only applied to Supremes.
After leaving Region Forty-Eight, Ye Chen arrived in the neighboring Region Forty-Nine.
He did not find the two women in Region Forty-Nine's regional town.
Ye Chen did not immediately leave Region Forty-Nine. Though he believed the two would choose to settle in a regional town, he could not rule out the possibility that its population had already reached capacity. Thus, he still had to ask around throughout Region Forty-Nine and see whether anyone had encountered them.
"Have you seen these two?"
On a mountain peak somewhere in Region Forty-Nine, Ye Chen seized a Quasi-Demi-God and activated the Law of Water, condensing a water mirror in the air. The images of Xu Jing and Murong Qingcheng appeared in it.
"N-No!"
The Quasi-Demi-God was terrified and stammered out his reply.
"You're not lying to me?"
Ye Chen's gaze turned sharp.
"Really, no! I swear!"
The Quasi-Demi-God hurriedly swore an oath.
Seeing that the other party was not lying, Ye Chen flashed away, transforming into a water figure
