After slaying the man in grey, Lin Chen immediately left the area with the spoils of battle.
During the previous encounter with the man in grey, Lin Chen had used up a great deal of Spiritual Power, and the battle had been anything but quiet. If he were to encounter more enemies now, Lin Chen feared he would be unable to cope.
As Lin Chen did not release his Divine Sense, he had no idea which direction in this secret realm led deeper inwards or towards the periphery.
Since he was looking for a place to go into seclusion and cultivate, it didn't really matter which direction he took as long as he found a hidden spot.
It wasn't long before Lin Chen arrived at a new area. Suddenly, the pungent scent of blood in the air drew his attention.
