Halfway through the journey, Chen Lei, Liu Ruoxue, Qi Yun, Chu Xu, Liu Ruoxue's second uncle Liu Heshan and others met up.
After leaving the area controlled by the Evil God Cult, Qi Yun and others chose a place to wait for Chen Lei and Liu Ruoxue. However, the route Chen Lei and Liu Ruoxue took back was different from the place where Qi Yun and others were waiting. After contacting each other halfway, they reunited.
After they reunited, Qi Yun couldn't wait to ask them about what happened. When she learned that Liu Ruoxue had completed the mission and the trip was safe, Qi Yun was finally relieved.
The group then headed towards Ziyun City in silence, and arrived at Ziyun City a day later.
"Mr. Chen, please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat. I want to ask for credit for you."
After returning to Ziyun City, Qi Yun said to Chen Lei that this time, without Chen Lei's help, Qi Yun and Liu Ruoxue would not have been able to escape so easily, so Qi Yun naturally wanted to repay Chen Lei.
"Forget it, it's just a small favor, no need to be polite." Chen Lei declined and did not return to the City Lord's Mansion with Qi Yun. He saved Qi Yun and Liu Ruoxue without asking for anything in return.
At the same time, Liu Ruoxue also expressed her invitation to Chen Lei to visit the Qingming Sect branch, but Chen Lei also declined.
Qi Yun and Liu Ruoxue saw that Chen Lei was not playing hard to get, but really didn't want to have too much interaction with them. They couldn't help feeling depressed and even wondered if their charm had decreased. Otherwise, how could Chen Lei refuse their invitation.
In fact, Chen Lei really didn't want to have too much interaction with the two beauties. None of his wives in the lower world was worse than Qi Yun and Liu Ruoxue in terms of appearance. He really didn't want to have affairs with them now, but wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible so that he could gain a foothold and even create a huge force so that his wife, friends and parents in the lower world would not be bullied when they ascended to the middle world in the future.
Seeing Chen Lei's refusal, Qi Yun and Liu Ruoxue naturally didn't feel comfortable forcing him anymore, so they said goodbye to each other. They also needed to report their safety to their parents.
Chen Lei returned to the cave he rented and consolidated his cultivation while there were still a few days left.
This time, during the duel with Zhou Ming, Chen Lei realized that although his current cultivation was not weak, there was still a certain gap between him and those extremely talented ninth-level Yuandan realm masters, especially those who had mastered the complete Qi refining technique and top-grade martial arts. The gap was even more obvious.
This time, when he went to the holy land of the royal inheritance of the Great Chu Dynasty, he was not only competing with a talented and powerful person from Ziyun City, but also with all the geniuses of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.
There are many top talents in the entire Chu Dynasty, and among them there are definitely many freaks and monsters. By that time, he may not be able to gain the upper hand.
Thinking of this, Chen Lei felt a little anxious. It was still difficult for him to compete with the talented and powerful people from these first-class forces with his own strength.
Chen Lei was thinking about how he could improve his competitiveness so that he could be fearless of all opponents and seize opportunities in the Great Chu Royal Holy Land.
