Lin Xun calculated the time; the Prophet from the Direct View Branch Association in the Imperial City was hurrying over.
The operation to capture him at the Multivision Association had failed, so they would likely send a scholar of the Prophet's level soon. Continuing to stay here would be tantamount to courting death.
And to go directly to the Imperial City... At this critical moment, to infiltrate the headquarters of both Schools in the Imperial City, wouldn't that be like delivering oneself to their doorstep?
"I need to take shelter in the Abyss to avoid the storm for now..."
It seemed like there were three options, but in reality, Lin Xun had no choice at all.
The first two options were paths to certain death; following through with them would inevitably lead to being caught by the two Schools.
Only the third option was the sole path of survival.
