Chapter 1395: Chapter 1366: One Year
Li Chen didn’t stay long at the Holy Mountain before leaving quickly.
He did not do anything to the Holy Mountain, and many people did not even know what his purpose was for coming to the Holy Mountain.
Only the elders of the Holy Mountain knew.
Originally, Lieu Zhanxiao only had a spiritual tablet, a hollow grave.
However, after Li Chen left, there was a sword in that hollow grave.
A broad sword.
Li Chen did not take that sword, although he knew it might be an exceedingly valuable item, he had no intention of keeping it.
He himself used a saber and did not have much demand for swords. Even if he were to switch to another saber, he might not be too accustomed to it, having grown used to the Red Moon.
Besides, this sword was the only thing left by Lieu Zhanxiao after his death, and he didn’t want to be so selfish.
Leaving the Holy Mountain, Li Chen looked somewhat wistfully at the snow-filled sky, then shook his head and stepped into the snowy wind, disappearing.
No one knew where he went, nor did they find him again.
...
One year, neither long nor short.
However, for the Palace of the Nether King, during this year, the development speed has completely exceeded expectations.
Ever since Li Chen became famous, large numbers of martial artists began emerging from various places, gathering towards the Palace of the Nether King, and even some strong ones from otherworlds who obtained residency in the Main World came to the Palace of the Nether King.
They were eager to know what this top martial artist was really like.
Since the battle at the Heavenly Gate Realm channel, almost all the strong ones, upon returning to their worlds, immediately informed their people never to provoke a man called ’Li Chen’.
And in fact, they didn’t have the chance to provoke Li Chen anymore.
Because Li Chen had disappeared, but the Palace of the Nether King he left behind became immensely famous.
With the influx of these martial artists, the power of the Palace of the Nether King skyrocketed at a terrifying speed.
In just a year, the Palace of the Nether King developed to the point where it could almost rival the Hongmeng Pavilion.
In some aspects, it even surpasses it.
During this year, Luoo Tianxiao also returned to the Hongmeng Pavilion.
However, after Luoo Tianxiao came back, he inquired about the battle at the Heavenly Gate Realm channel and then went straight into closed-door cultivation without saying a word.
Perhaps, it is precisely in this sort of tacit understanding from Hongmeng Pavilion, that the Palace of the Nether King was able to achieve this development.
Dragon Soul also completely broke away from being a subordinate organization of the Hongmeng Pavilion, starting to operate independently.
Due to the collaboration with the Palace of the Nether King, the Palace frequently supports Dragon Soul with manpower, so Dragon Soul no longer has the issue of lacking personnel.
Martial artists seem to begin to adapt to the new life and rules, integrating into ordinary people’s lives without causing more trouble, everything started in order and smoothly.
Few know what a high price was paid to achieve this order.
A slight mistake could have led to disaster.
Whether it was the invasion of creatures from otherworlds or the mass extinction Ling Canghai spoke of, it was no joke.
But all of that has passed now.
Ordinary people’s lives remain undisturbed, and martial artists begin their cultivation, under certain forces’ operations, neither interfering with the other.
"Do you think, where has Brother Li Chen gone?"
On Linchuan’s streets, three beauties were strolling leisurely hand in hand.
The youngest girl among them asked the other two.
"I don’t know," said the most mature beauty among the three, shaking her head directly. This beauty had a sizzling figure, and an air of mature allure. Among passersby with a 200% turning rate, almost everyone took extra looks at her.
"No matter where he went, I believe Brother Li Chen will definitely come back," said a gentle and lovely girl among the three softly.
Hearing the girl’s words, the mature beauty couldn’t help but shake her head: "I say, Wan’er, could you stop wearing that lovestruck face every time you mention him, it’s like he’s the only good man in the whole world."
"Didn’t you also admit that he is a good man?" Ouyang Wan’er chuckled softly.
The Qilin Princess was taken aback, and under Ouyang Wan’er’s gaze, she looked away.
"Oh! Sister Kiki is blushing!" Jun Yuchi laughed ’giggling’ at the side.
Currently, Ouyang Wan’er and the three had also settled in Linchuan, and the place where they lived was not far from Li Chen’s villa.
From time to time, the three women would visit Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, and their lives could be considered as leisurely; at least compared to the monotonous cultivation at Hongmeng Pavilion, the three women felt their current lives were wonderful.
Ouyang Wan’er gazed into the distance.
No one knew that she had left by herself for some time.
During that time, Li Chen found her, accompanied her for a while.
They went to Panlong Village, the place where they grew up, and talked about many things.
Ultimately, Ouyang Wan’er understood that Li Chen truly saw her as a sister, without any other intentions towards her.
Ouyang Wan’er’s certain thoughts gradually faded away.
Though she didn’t want it to be so, she knew that currently, Li Chen’s heart might really not have room for anyone else.
"Brother Li Chen, where are you now."
Ouyang Wan’er’s eyes suddenly turned a bit red, but when she lifted her head again, she returned to normal.
Jun Yuchi didn’t notice Ouyang Wan’er’s anomaly, but the Qilin Princess did secretly glance at Ouyang Wan’er once and sighed softly.
It’s not just Ouyang Wan’er; many people have been missing Li Chen during this year.
They also want to know where Li Chen has gone.
However, throughout this year, except for Ouyang Wan’er who had met Li Chen, no one else knew where Li Chen went, nor heard any news about him, not even being able to contact him actively.
But everyone knows, this man will come back.
No matter where he went, he will surely return.
This man has never let anyone down before.
...
In an European town full of romantic charm, a young man in a black coat was quietly gazing at the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky.
Watching the falling snowflakes, the young man remained motionless.
The nearby passersby couldn’t help but cast curious eyes at this somewhat strange young man.
But the young man clearly didn’t care about other people’s gaze, just standing quietly like this.
After a while, the young man came back to his senses, gently exhaled a puff of white breath, and softly said: "So this is what the so-called Infinite Hell is all about?"
"It’s been a year, finally, it is time to leave."
