Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Plan is Ruined by Kong Wu’s Decision!

Lu Chen kept a vigilant heart, always using his inner sight to observe the three people following him.

Seeing one of them maintain a certain distance at an unhurried pace, he guessed in his heart that this must be Kong Wu!

"He seems somewhat intelligent, having put away his arrogance. It looks like I’ll need to be careful when I confront him later!"

Lu Chen had had a brief encounter with Kong Wu in front of the valley, only at the time he didn’t know who he was.

Now, upon comparison, he naturally noticed the differences between the two encounters and was slightly more cautious in his mind.

"He is probably looking for opportunities on the side. It’s good to be cautious. I need to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one and then have a decisive battle to the death with Kong Wu!"

A glint of sharpness flashed across Lu Chen’s eyes, but none could see the murderous intent within them.

Because his gaze was fixed ahead!

"Fly a bit more, though being far away means I’ll lose the support of Li Yanran and YaoYao, but this way, they can be a bit safer and not get caught in the crossfire."

"Moreover, it will somewhat exhaust their spiritual power."

Lu Chen’s body autonomously cultivated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, and mere flying like this did not require him to worry about the depletion of spiritual power.

This was akin to a loss for them and a gain for him.

Besides, they didn’t know that he intended to lead them away from this place.

Just as he was thinking this, Kong Wu suddenly spoke up, "Stop chasing, there’s no point in continuing."

Upon these words, the three pursuers immediately came to a halt!

Lu Chen’s movement stiffened!

If they stopped chasing, wouldn’t his plan be in vain?

Yet if he showed even the slightest hint now, it might also be disadvantageous for him!

Thinking this, Lu Chen made a snap decision. Looking at a forest below, he directly flew towards the ground.

It appeared as if he was using the forest to hide and disappear from their sight.

"Brother Kong, why aren’t we chasing anymore? Our Vast Heaven Jue’s specialty is that our spiritual power is at least twenty percent more robust than that of ordinary cultivators; surely he will be the first to exhaust his power!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator, somewhat unwilling, looked towards the spot where Lu Chen had descended.

"There’s no point in following him. If we follow for too long, we might jeopardize the sect’s mission! Do not let personal motives make you forget the instructions of the sect master!"

Kong Wu’s teaching was received with repeated acknowledgement by the three cultivators.

"Let’s return the way we came and see. Regardless of whether Yu Zhibai’s words are true, since we are already here, let’s see if Li Yanran is there. If she is, we’ll kill her along the way to avenge Junior Brother Tang!"

Kong Wu did not mention the Wood Spiritual Bead at all, and these three junior brothers deeply respected him, completely unaware that they were also on Kong Wu’s expendable list.

"Let’s go, that cave looks rather deep, it should be quite suitable for hiding. Perhaps Li Yanran is hiding in there, and Junior Brother Tang’s body might be inside as well!"

Kong Wu gestured grandly, manipulating his magic artifact to change direction.

The three junior brothers took the lead, flying ahead of Kong Wu just as they had done when they first came.

This scene, witnessed by Lu Chen hidden among the trees, was crystal clear to him.

"This Kong Wu is not simple!"

He gritted his teeth, watching the direction in which they were returning, "If they are going to scout the cave, this could be troublesome! Li Yanran, without the advantage of terrain, cannot use her spells, and the capability of YaoYao is unknown... Facing four against two, they are surely doomed!"

"No choice now, I have to follow and see. With Kong Wu at the very back, if I can hold him back or forcefully kill him... the other three are nothing to fear!"

Lu Chen touched the wooden decoy figure in his bosom, infusing spiritual power into his legs, and rushed through the trees at high speed!

The forest stretched for miles, and Lu Chen knew he had to make his move at the end of the forest!

Otherwise, he would lose the element of surprise!

Haotian Sect was a first-class sect, and Lu Chen certainly hadn’t underestimated those three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators!
