After the Cultivators' Conference ended, Lu Chen immediately ordered the eradication of those forces that had betrayed the Daxia Dynasty, and he himself began his secluded cultivation.
Mu Qinglan only managed to kill a clone of Jiang Tianrui. Even though Mu Qinglan had used Saint Power to blockade the space before making a move, preventing the incident in the Chaotic Star Sea from being transmitted back to the Canghai Sect through their clone's Divine Sense, the death of the clone definitely alerted Jiang Tianrui to the presence of Saint Realm powerhouses in the Chaotic Star Sea.
It was very likely that the Canghai Sect, having failed this time, would spread the news about the Chaotic Star Sea, which in turn would attract more Saint Realm cultivators.
Therefore, before these Saint Realm enemies arrived, Lu Chen had to become even stronger; otherwise, relying solely on Mu Qinglan would likely be insufficient to resist those adversaries.
