Long Chen did this precisely to avoid implicating the Martial Ancestor.
This whole matter started because of him, and he had to be the one to end it.
Seeing that Long Chen had already left and that Liu Teng was fuming with rage, Shangguan Yuan grew bold. "Sir! He's the one who killed Ma Cheng, Lord Liu, and his men!" he shouted. "If you want to hold someone responsible, go after him!"
"Trash!" Liu Teng snarled. "In front of the World King Palace, it's not your place to act so presumptuously!"
He snorted coldly, his gaze locking onto Long Chen and Xia Duoduo in the distance. He commanded the men behind him, "Pursue them! Capture those two! There will be a great reward!"
Upon hearing this, the eight members of the World King Palace immediately gave chase, heading in the direction Long Chen and Xia Duoduo had gone.
