Li Chen's eyes turned cold as he saw Chu Dongyang sneak attack him with a dagger in his hand. Chu Dongyang had relied on this to escape his shackles.

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, but at least he had escaped from Li Chen's clutches, Chu Dongyang immediately jumped up from the ground and ran out. He knew that he would not be able to escape this calamity tonight! However, his survival instinct supported him as he crawled out step by step.

Li Chen looked at the struggling Chu Dongyang and sneered. A black pestle suddenly flew out from his palm.

Even the normal Chu Dongyang would not be able to dodge the attack of this pestle, let alone the injured Chu Dongyang.

"Pfft!"

Chu Dongyang's body froze as he looked in disbelief at the hole in his chest, blood flowing out from it! His legs went limp and he fell face first onto the ground! Blood started to pour out of his mouth as well. His body twitched a few times on the ground, and his eyes started to relax.

A person slowly walked in front of him. He struggled to grab that person's pants leg and beg for his life. However, the moment his hand reached out into the air, he didn't have the strength to continue lowering his body.

After making sure that the person was dead, Li Chen shook his head and walked towards the bushes without sadness or joy.

Within the shrubbery, Ernie and Sanhe were huddled together, terrified by the scene in front of them.

Li Chen's body was covered with some bloodstains. Those bloodstains terrified Ernie and Sanxi, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Li …" "Big brother Li Chen …" Ernie let out a scream.

Li Chen rubbed Ernie's head. After being frightened, Ernie's body trembled. Li Chen helplessly stopped. He must have looked like a homicidal maniac now.

Not knowing how to explain, Li Chen carried the two children in his arms.

He immediately ran out of the city.

Four hours ago, when the city gate was not closed, Li Chen had Little Charmer bring her brother and sister out of the city. Right now, they should be on their way to leave.

Bringing the two little girls with them, they left East Sun City easily. Very quickly, Li Chen caught up to Little Chun and the others.

"Are you alright?"

When the grapevine saw Li Chen, it finally let out a sigh of relief, and when it saw that the two children were safe and sound, it began to feel grateful towards Li Chen.

"Little Sister!" The two children threw themselves into the arms of the young man. They didn't say anything when Li Chen took them away. Only when they saw the familiar people did the two children feel safe and immediately cried while hugging the young man.

Even though they were all crying, they could not help but shed tears as well.

For so many years, every time she thought of seven branches, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She was useless, she could not save seven branches, and she could only watch as her little sisters were ruthlessly treated by Chu Dongyang.

"Let's go!" I think they will soon find out about Chu Dongyang's death. With the two children gone, they will definitely suspect you. "

Li Chen and the others calmed down a little and said to Little Charmer.

The little boy nodded, dried his tears, and hurried off in the carriage with her brother and sister.

Li Chen subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

There were more than twenty of these juniors. According to this speed, it would take them at least ten days to half a month to reach the Sword Seeking Sect. If they were caught by that group on this long journey, it would be troublesome!

But for now, Li Chen had no other choice.

In the past few days, they had already traveled nearly a thousand miles.

During this period of time, he had also forced away several groups of people who were trying to stop him. Of course, all of this was because of Li Chen.

"After passing through these mountains, we will reach the Realm of the Southern Domain!"

Li Chen said to Little Chuan.

A smile appeared on Little Charmer's face, "I never dreamed that I would be able to leave Darknorth and travel to the Southern region. I have to thank you for all this, young master!"

While the two of them were talking, Little Charmer suddenly leaned against Li Chen's arm and said, "Young Master, look!"

Li Chen followed Little Charmer's gaze and saw a woman in front of him carrying a child. The child was still in the midst of feeding. Madam's skin was so thin that it looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Li Chen subconsciously frowned. These were already the few groups of refugees that they had caught up to in the past few days.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Little Charmer had always been a kind person, so he naturally did not see such a scene. He immediately called the woman into the car with good intentions.

The woman seemed to be too hungry to eat, so Little Charmer gave her some more food.

When the woman had eaten enough, she told Li Chen that she was one of the people who had recently escaped. Their entire village had left, and her husband had died in the process of escaping. She couldn't keep up with the speed of the people in the village, so she was alone.

Before she left, Li Chen gave her a lot of money to buy food and clothing. Plus, she was worried about the distance, so she was well-prepared. But there were too many victims along the way.

All of this was because of one thing, the Punishment King had rebelled!

Darknorth was currently in a state of turmoil. It was precisely because the Punishment King needed servants that resulted in fewer and fewer people chasing after Li Chen's group, allowing them to easily reach the border between the Southern and Northern Regions.

"Many people have fled to the Southern Domain. Beiming Nation can no longer stay here …"

The woman wiped away her tears.

Since the child was young, she had already lost her husband. In this chaotic era, could she live to return every letter …

If they were alone, then Li Chen and Little Chun would definitely not take them with them when they were in their prime. However, for orphans and widows, Li Chen and Little Chun could not ignore them and they headed towards the northern region.

"If we go any further, we'll have to live frugally." Little Charmer suddenly said to Li Chen.

Li Chen was stunned, "Why? We still have plenty of food... "

Sister-in-law Mo, who was saved by Li Chen, sighed and said, "Young master, you don't understand. There are more and more refugees on the road, and many people see that we have plenty of food. They are all a bunch of kids. Sooner or later, they will come after us …"

Indeed, among the group of refugees, Li Chen's group was indeed very conspicuous. The main reason was that they didn't seem to be very poor, even though they had many children.

Li Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. We will be leaving the northern region soon. This place is not safe, but with me here, you don't have to be afraid."

This rumor wanted to say something but hesitated. However, when they saw Li Chen's confident appearance, they didn't say anything. They were silently cursing in their hearts. After all, he couldn't possibly kill everyone else just because they came to steal things, right?

They had already caught up to more than half of the refugees in the past two days, and had already attracted a lot of attention. The rumors were very worried that those people would choose to take action against her, and she had already noticed that a lot of people were secretly sizing them up.

When night fell, Little Chun and Madam Mo started to fall asleep while Li Chen sat up.

He could naturally feel that some people were staring at them with unfriendly eyes. Among them was a group of vicious bandits that spied on them from the shadows for many days. As the saying went, one shouldn't be afraid of thieves, one would be afraid of thieves after.

Li Chen more or less had to make preparations.

The sky gradually darkened. Not far from Li Chen's group, a group of people gathered together in a stealthy manner.

"Big brother, when do you think we should move out?" one of them asked.

The leader's eyes flashed with hesitation, he turned around and saw that everyone was staring at him, then he said: "At this point, I have nothing to say. There are a group of children inside, the only one that seems to be able to fight is only one.

They were fleeing for their lives, but the leader of the group did not wish to take the lives of others.

Li Chen's eyes suddenly opened and he jumped out of the carriage. Not far away, a few men holding torches were about to approach him, but they were surprised to see him. They clearly did not expect him to be so vigilant.

"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?"

Li Chen's voice was light and not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Li Chen was definitely not an ordinary person, but at this moment, he had no other way out. He could only take a deep breath and said, "Little brother is a wise man, we brothers have no other way out. Seeing that I have plenty of food, we wanted to borrow some from him."

The corner of Li Chen's mouth curled into a faint smile. Moonlight shone on his body, making him seem even more ethereal. His pleasant voice sounded, "What if I don't want to lend it to you?"

The big man's eyes turned cold and the blade in his hand flashed with a sharp light. He looked at Li Chen, trying to figure out the background of the person in front of him, but still said, "If little brother doesn't lend it to you, then don't blame my brothers for being rude!"

These words were obviously a sign that they were about to make a move. Li Chen laughed heartily. His laughter suddenly stopped as Li Chen's sharp eyes stared at the people in front of him. "Just you guys?"

He did not intend to start a massacre, but he still had to give them a bit of a shock.

Saying that, Li Chen's body jumped up. The few burly men didn't even have time to prepare before they saw a flash in front of them. Their bodies hurt and they fell to the ground.

The strongest person in this group was only the robust man in front of them, who was also a First or Second Order Martial Ancestor. Li Chen really did not like him and was only showing off his skills to teach him a lesson.

Wailing sounds could be heard from below. The robust man was startled. He knew that he had kicked an iron wall, so he immediately called out to his brothers.

These people weren't severely injured, but they could still bear with the losses they had suffered. Instead, they looked at the young man in front of them with vigilance.

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back and looked at them with thick disdain: "It's really laughable. If the country is in trouble, then instead of reporting it to the country, you bunch of strong people with hands and feet have instead learned how to rob! It would not be wrong to kill you all! "
