Chapter 248: Chapter 248- Sunfire Petal (2)

"No matter where you go, you won’t be safe. They will keep chasing after you that is unless you leave the entire province" Amon explained.

Now that things have become so crystal clear, it was safe to assume that the Yan in the Yan province is because of the existence of the Yan Clan. They are the overlord and the strongest ruling clan here, thus the name.

If Yang Chen stayed here, there would be no end to the chase after all, this was their territory and they had eyes and ears everywhere.

What’s more, the person he crippled back at the food shop, the rich silk pants was no ordinary person but the son of the clan leader of the yan clan.

There is no way, they would leave this matter be. His only choice of survival was to leave the province. That being said there was one problem.

"But the New Moon city is in the Yan province".

The Holy Orchard Outer Academy that he was heading for, was located on the outskirts of the Yan province. Although the Holy Orchard Academy was an independent faction with a territory of its own, its New Moon City still fell inside the Yan province.

If he couldn’t stay in the Yan province then didn’t it mean that he couldn’t go to New Moon City either? According to the plan he set for himself, he was going to join the academy and use the vast shade of this huge tree to grow himself.

What he sought was their protection until he became strong enough to protect himself and stop being pushed around, just as he was currently.

"You are right, the tree that sticks out the most would be struck down by lightning. Instead of roaming around and training around by yourself to get strong, it would be much better if you joined an academy"

"It would be a bigger problem if the secret behind your fast growth, the system gets revealed or the people behind that ring come after you during this time. It may be the right choice to seek the shade of a big tree that will protect you from all the rain and storm"

"However, that said the outer academy does not have the power to protect you. Let’s put other matters aside, if you want to be safe from the Yan clan, you must join the inner academy" Amon explained.

The Holy Orchard Academy was divided into two parts, the outer academy for students who have recently joined the academy or have poor talents to become inner disciples and the inner academy which only a handful among the outer academy students can enter.

They are the top of the top talents, the crème de le crème of the academy. If he can enter the inner academy and gain their attention and protection, the Yan clan shouldn’t be able to harm him easily.

"In that case, isn’t it more of a reason that I go there?" Yang Chen asked.

"No" the demon shook his head "Forget about reaching New Moon City, I can guarantee you that by the time you get to the end of the forest, you will be completely surrounded. Instead of trying to escape their net, it would be better for you to find a place to hide somewhere inside the forest and weather out the storm".

"But isn’t this place near the Yan city? It would be too dangerous..."...

"There is a saying ’If you want to hide at night, stand near the street lamp’. Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Think about it, if you were in the shoes of the yan clan which places would you most likely send your forces to search? It is of course areas which are away from the yan city. However, what if you hide right near their nose?"

Yang Chen pondered over Amon’s words. It is true that currently for him anywhere near Yan City, was a hot zone. However, on the contrary, it was also the safest zone if he could just find a place to hide away here.

It was not a bad idea, though there was one problem. If he went into hiding, he wouldn’t be able to make it to the academy in time. Given the enmity he formed with yan clan, there was no way they would stop searching for him any time soon.

Who knows how long it would take for the situation to calm down? He did not have the luxury of time to wait for the situation to calm down completely as he needed to reach the New Moon city within this week.

The elders had given a month to all the students of the academy to pack their belongings and bid goodbye to their families. Of that one month, Yang Chen spent the first few weeks inside the fallen mountain range and the remaining time he had, he used it to come here.

This left him with less than a week of time to reach New Moon City. At first, he thought that he would be able to arrive on time. However, now it appears that he would have to change his plans.

"You don’t have to worry too much, from what I’ve seen, you have sufficiently proven your talent to the elders. If it’s for a genius like you, I’m sure they will accept your admission even if you come a month or two late. After all, you are not the same as others. You are someone who possesses the Greedvil System, people with privileges should be treated as such"

Amon spoke puffing his chest. And so, deciding on his next course of action, Yang Chen quickly got into finding a suitable hiding place.

Thankfully, he had the [map] option with him. Using its investigative feature, he scanned the area to learn about its terrain. While he was using the feature, lists of things that naturally grew in this forest appeared before him.

From unique natural treasures to demonic beasts, their number, he was able to know a lot of things.
