Upon seeing the condition of the outskirts of the Clear Cultivation Land, Chen Dengming realized that someone had already been here. There was even evidence of someone having attempted forced entry.
This wasn't entirely unexpected.
After all, if Xu Ning and the members of the Iron Forest Hall were still adamant, they would certainly search every corner for him, including the places he had previously been.
However, these people could not possibly remain at this spot long term, waiting for him to fall into their trap.
After all, he had demonstrated the strength of a Qi Cultivation Level Four cultivator, so what level of power would be necessary to guard against him consistently?
Moreover, who would waste their time in such an isolated place at this critical juncture of intense fighting, waiting for someone who might never show up?
Chen Dengming was well aware of these possibilities, which is why he dared to return to the Clear Cultivation Land to retrieve his belongings.
