Chen Tang moved up the Xiajiang River against the current.
When the river was devoid of people and devoid of any boats passing by, he emerged to catch a breath, then immediately submerged back into the river.
Only in this way could he hide his tracks, feign death, and escape.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Chen Tang; at the Nanxia Court, he offended Prime Minister Xia Daozi and was hunted by the Imperial Guard as a Beiqian Dark Scout.
In the Jianghu, the influence of the Drunken Immortal Tower was too great, forcing him to avoid direct confrontation.
Moreover, lurking between the Jianghu and the Imperial Court, hidden hermits and the Profound Celestial Sect, who couldn't see the light of day, also wanted him dead!
Uncle Wang's words turned prophetic.
Given his character, without a powerful backer in Nanxia, he was nearly homeless!
Even if he somehow survived some calamities, endless troubles lay ahead.
