970 A Hidden Secret 2 (1/2)

It was also from that incident onwards that Chi Tong disappeared from the Kingdom of Sa Er. The entire world had also thought that this extraordinary young prodigy had fallen in battle. No one knew he had led a group of his comrades and hidden within the Free Valley all these years.

The worries caused by the many issues experienced over the years remained etched on little Chi Tong's tender face. Duanmu Hongru couldn't help being depressed when he looked at Chi Tong's expression.

”Ji Fengyan had come to Yan Luo Dian solely for the Forest of Freedom. Have you ever thought about what would happen if we refuse?” Little Chi Tong opened his eyes. ”Or did you think Yan Luo Dian could go against Heavenly Courts?”

Chi Tong's words caused Duanmu Hongru to give a violent shudder.

Go against Heavenly Courts?

Duanmu Hongru knew that was impossible.

Whereas Yan Luo Dian had completely disregarded the former Fu Guang City in the past, the newly-renamed Heavenly Courts was a wholly different matter. Duanmu Hongru had personally witnessed the power of their new ruler, Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan had completely annihilated even Zhai Xing Lou, which Yan Luo Dian could not even withstand. How could Yan Luo Dian, currently weakened by that earlier battle, hope to be a match for Heavenly Courts?

At this point, Duanmu Hongru's shoulders sagged.

Chi Tong took in Duanmu Hongru's reaction and sighed. ”There is no need for you all to worry about me. We will just follow where destiny leads us.”

Duanmu Hongru raised no more objections. The disparity between Yan Luo Dian and Heavenly Courts was just too wide. He could already see the futility of resisting. In addition, even if they somehow got hold of the Forest of Freedom from Heavenly Courts, they could not determine whether the rhinoceros beast was still there.

The multitude of problems piled upon Duanmu Hongru mind, heavy as a mountain. Chi Tong had his own reasons for giving up the Forest of Freedom.
