Now that the mission [Escort and Guard] had ended, Lu Xun, after receiving a reward of 10,000 Experience Points, had no plans to stay longer.
The disciples of the Demon Sect also needed to report back to the sect. Lu Xun had already thought of an excuse, claiming he was just passing by, and they happened to be lucky, saved by him by mistake.
No one would doubt his explanation.
After all, the essence of a lie is that only those who trust you would regard it as true.
Before Lu Xun left, he also brought along the unconscious Xu Zhongcheng.
One reason was that Xu Zhongcheng's injuries were severe. Although his external wounds had mostly healed, the place where his Qi Sea stored Spiritual Energy had been blasted rotten when his own Qi exploded. Lu Xun's green pearl could not fully restore it but could provide some help.
The other reason was that he was afraid that Xu Zhongcheng would find it hard to accept the current situation when he woke up.
