Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 528 - 381: He Cannot Die

Luo Chen sighed softly and turned to look at Li Xin, his eyes carrying a hint of seriousness. "Although your brother is not dead, he is currently a fugitive. To find him is certainly challenging." He spoke the truth, as Sima Changkong, being a tribal leader, would definitely keep his whereabouts extremely secret after developing a conflict with the Blue Man King, Chanyu Xiong.

However, Li Xin clearly did not want to accept this reality. She snorted coldly, showing a displeased expression. "My brother is a peerless hero, definitely not one to fear death. Moreover, my brother is well-connected, with friends all over the world, he certainly wouldn’t flee in panic like a coward." Her words were filled with admiration and trust towards her brother.

Luo Chen did not wish to be in conflict with Li Xin, so he naturally shifted the topic, "Alright, your brother is a peerless hero, so tell me, where is he now?" His tone carried a hint of teasing, trying to relieve the tension.

Li Xin was momentarily at a loss for words due to Luo Chen’s question. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. She had to admit that she couldn’t determine her brother’s exact whereabouts. Among the thirty-six major tribes and seventy-two smaller tribes, her brother could be hiding in any of them.

Seeing Li Xin silent, Luo Chen understood something. He didn’t continue questioning but rather suggested in another way, "Your injuries haven’t healed yet. How about going with me to Gou Head City to recuperate, and then make plans when you’re better?" His tone was gentle and sincere, as if persuading a lost child.

Li Xin did not immediately answer and fell into a momentary silence. She felt conflicted inside, wanting to find her brother Sima Changkong immediately, yet worrying about her current physical condition being unable to handle any potential dangers. She knew that if she left Luo Chen, she would be at risk of dying at any time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xin finally nodded, "Alright." She accepted Luo Chen’s suggestion, deciding to recover from her injuries first before making any plans. Despite the overwhelming longing for her brother, she understood that the most important thing now was to protect herself, to have more opportunities to find her brother.

Thus, accompanied by Luo Chen, the two embarked on their journey to Gou Head City. What challenges and hardships would they encounter on this journey? Would Li Xin be able to successfully find her brother Sima Changkong? All of these were unknowns, but their story thus became even more captivating.

The grassland wind gently breezed by, carrying a trace of fresh grass scent. Luo Chen and Li Xin stood at the edge of the grassland, before them lay a vast expanse of greenery, while behind them was the gradually receding desolate desert.

"Let’s set off!" Luo Chen said softly, his voice filled with anticipation and the passion for adventure.

The two embarked on their journey across the grassland, the sand beneath them gradually turning into soft grass. Although the daytime sun was still scorching, the breeze on the grassland and the occasional passing white clouds brought them a hint of coolness.

Luo Chen had attempted to carry Li Xin along the way to ease her fatigue, but Li Xin firmly refused. She wished to rely on her own strength to complete this journey, to walk side by side with Luo Chen. Seeing this, Luo Chen had to give up his plan, but he continued to watch over Li Xin’s condition, worried she might become overly exhausted.

Their journey was not hurried, as Luo Chen seemed in no rush to reach their destination. He leisurely appreciated the beauty of the grassland, occasionally stopping to admire the view.

Each time, he would look back at Li Xin, his eyes flashing with admiration and teasing. His gaze would inadvertently fall upon Li Xin’s youthful and full chest, revealing a drooling wolf-like expression, causing Li Xin to glare at him with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, yet she couldn’t truly get angry.

For several consecutive days, the two strolled across the grassland in this manner. They seemed like a pair of lovers in a passionate romance, enjoying each other’s company and the gifts of nature. The majestic scenery of the grassland interwoven with their laughter painted a beautiful picture.

Today, it was once again sunset time. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire grassland, casting their shadows long. The two traversed an oasis and re-entered the desolate desert. In the illumination of the sunset, the desert appeared even more mysterious and magnificent.

Luo Chen stood in the desert, watching the majestic fiery clouds burning on the horizon. With a sudden long roar, his voice echoed through the desert, as if conversing with the heavens and earth. He unfolded the sheath of the Black-Backed Long Saber, its silver blade gleaming with a cold light under the setting sun.

Luo Chen started to run wildly in the desert, the silver saber seeming to create a whirlwind out of nowhere, stirring up clouds of dust. His figure dashed across the desert, leaving a long trail of dust behind.
