Gu Chen retracted all of his vital energy into the heavenly seed within his body, sitting cross-legged in place, motionless as if he were a decayed stake, devoid of the slightest vitality or aura escaping from him.
Let alone Xia Hou Longyuan, even a true martial arts deity and top grandmaster wouldn't have been able to detect Gu Chen, unless he actively revealed himself and let his vital energy leak out.
And so, Gu Chen waited at a concealed location outside the Xiahou family residence for Xia Hou Longyuan to make a move.
Such a wait lasted seven days.
At that moment, as Gu Chen was refining the true qi within his body, his expression changed slightly, his eyes opened, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself, "Finally can't hold back anymore?"
Yes, just seven days after leaving the Xiahou family, Xia Hou Longyuan could no longer wait.
