Li Chen stopped clinging to Xue Wei. Previously she had looked down on him, but not anymore. She had a feeling that messing with this young man had consequences that even she could not handle.
Xue Wei kept spectating the various battles in the cages. Everyone cheered for the one they had bet their low-grade essence stones on, but suddenly a roar came from one of the cages that made even Xue Wei flinch. This was the roar of a Primordial Beast.
“Oh, it seems like it is quite lively tonight,” Li Chen smiled and led Xue Wei towards the cage. No one was willing to make space for them, but by using her high cultivation base, she made an impenetrable barrier appear around Xue Wei and herself. When she moved forward, no matter if people wanted to or not, they were forced aside.
Some were grouchy about this, but when they saw that the culprit was Li Chen, they could only begrudgingly shut their mouths and try to squeeze in somewhere else.
