Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Could it be Xu Qianqian?

Xu Qianqian is a member of the Xu Family and has a profound relationship with the Polar Treasure Meeting!

Lu Chen suddenly recalled the chairman of the Polar Treasure Meeting, who had established the organization precisely because he wanted to join a Cultivation Sect, didn’t he?

The royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty was infiltrated by the Polar Treasure Meeting and, very likely, Xu Qianqian had used these connections to become the crown princess.

It seemed that Xu Qianqian was leading these dealings.

But for some reason, she had drawn the attention of the second-rate Hehuan Sect, which even took her in as a disciple!

Lu Chen’s brows furrowed tightly together.

From the storyteller’s words, he learned

that the Xuanji Sect could only be considered third-rate, whereas the Hehuan Sect was not only second-rate but also a legitimate orthodox sect!

With this in mind, rescuing Qin Zhantian might be quite difficult!

Plus, seeing the current posture of the imperial city...

Lu Chen sighed deeply in his heart, snapped back to reality, and listened as the storyteller continued, "Besides, the Hehuan Sect has also taken in a disciple of peerless grace this time. If any of you are interested, you might want to take a look, because that female disciple ah, has yet to find a Dao companion!"

The subject shifted away from Xu Qianqian, but Lu Chen was completely uninterested. Seeing that the crowd still seemed to be focused on the storyteller, he planned to take this moment to go look for Qin Zhantian!

With his level of cultivation, as long as those coming from the Hehuan Sect were not above the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was unlikely that anyone would discover him.

He wanted to confirm Qin Zhantian’s original intentions!

If he wanted to leave, and was fully committed to the path of cultivation.

Then he would take him to Tianyuan!

Lu Chen’s departure didn’t attract anyone’s attention. After leaving the tavern, he headed straight toward the imperial palace.

The closer he got to the palace, the busier the streets became.

Apart from the incessant flow of Martial Artists and pedestrians, there were patrolling guards, seemingly fearful that unexpected guests would disrupt the grandeur of the imperial city at this time.

Lu Chen observed the situation, figuring it would be difficult to get through during the day and decided to wait until nightfall.

...

Inside Tianyuan.

"Lu Chen has left."

Li Qingyao looked inexplicably at Lu Tianren and said.

"Left? Just like that?"

He couldn’t believe it, thinking that Lu Chen had come to Tianyuan to seek them out, only to leave just like that?

"He left," Li Qingyao said helplessly, "I can’t feel the aura of the Pure Jade Vase anymore. Obviously, he has left Tianyuan."

"Why did he leave just like that?"

Lu Tianren was still somewhat disbelieving. Initially, their plan included the possibility of Lu Chen finding this place and then asking him for help, so that Li Qingyao could find a way to unlock Lu Tianren’s chains.

Later, when they learned that Lu Chen might kill the Giant Profound Demon Turtle and obtain its shell to protect Lu Tianren’s life, they wanted Lu Chen to accompany Li Qingyao on the quest.

But now, Lu Chen hadn’t made any moves to find them and had even left Tianyuan!

"Could something have happened to the Lu Family?"

Li Qingyao’s brows were slightly furrowed, somewhat unwilling to believe her own son could be heartless.

"Could it be... he’s gone to find the girl?"

Lu Tianren thought for a moment, feeling that Lu Chen had inherited his own trait of being devoted.

"If that’s the case, it means the girl entered Tianyuan with him," Li Qingyao said helplessly, "I wish I hadn’t been so impulsive back then and had asked the girl more about Lu Chen."

"It’s too late for regrets now," Lu Tianren said with a wry smile, "If it really comes down to it, go find Mu Xiao. Tell her our location. If Lu Chen comes back, she can pass on the message."

"Mu Xiao..."

Li Qingyao took a deep breath and said, "Let’s wait a bit longer. I’m afraid with your current condition, you can’t withstand the poison from the Blood-eating Insect Demon."

Lu Tianren fell silent, indeed needing to be mindful of this issue. Previously, in order to save Lu Chen, he had lost a lot of blood to the Bloodthirsty Demon, and then, with no one to guard him, had suffered an attack from Bloodthirsty Insect Demons.

The damage from the Bloodthirsty Insect Demons wasn’t just from draining his vital blood.

It was also the poison deposited during the bloodsucking process that, if accumulated in large amounts, caused extremely horrific damage to the body.

It could only be slowly broken down by the body itself.

It would take time.

"Then, we’ll wait a bit longer."

After a long while, Lu Tianren let out a sigh.
