After successfully winning the bid for the Dragon Flame, Lin Chen and Su Yao completed the final transaction procedures amid complex gazes from the crowd. Lin Chen carefully put away the Dragon Flame. This strange fire, containing heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power, felt at this moment both like a spark of hope and a bomb ready to detonate a crisis at any time.
Su Yao approached Lin Chen and whispered with a solemn expression: "Lin Chen, by winning the Dragon Flame, we have become the target of public criticism. Although Yancheng has rules, there is no guarantee that someone won't make a move against us in secret outside the city. We must figure out a safe way to leave as soon as possible."
Lin Chen nodded slightly, his gaze scanning his surroundings vigilantly. He keenly perceived that many people were sizing them up with obscure and greedy looks, among whom were quite a few who had failed to win the Dragon Flame. The unwillingness and desire in those gazes were like venomous snakes hidden in the dark, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.
