Chapter 262 - 262: War Preparation?

"We don't have to follow such time, do we?" Zhiqing let out after Mikan left.

" We do. Let's follow the rules at the moment. It's just for a few more days."

Long Chen tried to make her understand. After some initial back and forth, the girls finally agreed.

Zhiqing looked quite discontent, but she still did just as Long Chen said and left with Mingyu.

Long Chen and Ji Shan entered their respective courtyard.

"Which room do you want?" Ji Shan said as he noticed two rooms inside the place.

"I'll take that. Good night." Long Chen casually picked a room and entered inside.

Ji Shan, on the other hand, entered the second room.

The time on the night slowly kept trickling down, until it was midnight.

Long Chen was cultivating inside his room and abruptly opened his eyes as he looked towards the door.

He stood up and started walking towards the door. He softly opened the door so as to not wake up Ji Shan.

He left their courtyard in the darkness of the night and started advancing towards a certain direction.

There were guards all around the place, but he managed to sneak past them thanks to heaven's shroud.

It took him around 40 minutes as he finally got to the place he desired to reach.

It was the dark forest that was called the beast forest. The same forest that Mikan had showed him around. It was the place that had the thing he desired.

Long Chen had read in a book that the Sun Swallowing Condor lived inside the beast forest of the beast hall, thus he came here.

Long Chen used his divine sense and thankfully there was no one nearby.

He stepped forward, but just as he took his second step, he felt a powerful shock course through his body.

He was forced to take a step back as the pain made him groan.

"There's a formation here. Damn it, I should have thought about it" He cursed under his breath as he looked at the forest.

He looked around and hurriedly walked towards a stone. He picked up the stone and threw it towards the forest.

Just as he had expected, the stone was stopped by the barrier and fell to the ground.

"There's definitely a barrier. I'm not sure if I can break it, but even if I'm able to... that would alert the Hall Master and the others. I need time to catch the Sun Swallowing Condor. Can't let everything go to waste because of my hurry. "

Long Chen sighed as he turned back and left the place just as silently
