Li Chen carefully wove his way through the forest.
He had traveled quite a distance, although that was only relative to his current state. Yet all along his journey, he hadn't seen a single soul.
Originally, based on his calculations, after causing such a commotion in the marketplace and offending Zi Zhao, the whole mountain range should have been crawling with martial artists searching for him.
But to his surprise, as he walked along, he didn't even catch sight of a shadow.
"What the hell is going on?"
Li Chen's mind was full of questions. Still, regardless of his doubts, he clearly wasn't going to stick around waiting for them to show up.
If not now, then when would be the right time to make a break for it?
Having finally reached the highway, Li Chen scanned the forest multiple times, ensuring there really was no one nearby before turning his attention to the road in hopes of flagging down a vehicle.
