Li Chen's sense of vigilance did not go unnoticed by Shen Mengxi.
She immediately halted her steps, simply gazing at Li Chen.
The two of them continued to stare at each other across the distance.
After a period of deathly silence, Shen Mengxi smiled gently and was the first to speak:
"I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable. Even Chen Hu, who was at the late-stage Divinity Transformation, died by your hand!"
Li Chen merely smiled and did not reply directly.
Shen Mengxi's dimples appeared, and she said, "The Tower Master of Windcloud Tower, Xiong Ba, is known for protecting his own. Chen Hu was an elder in Windcloud Tower, a position not of little importance. Aren't you afraid of inciting Windcloud Tower's revenge for killing him?"
Li Chen shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face.
"With no one here, who would know it was me who killed him?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengxi's expression changed abruptly, and she secretly prepared a magic spell.
