Chapter 1006: Chapter 978: Will Definitely Come Back!

Linchuan.

A week has passed since the end of the great battle.

The surroundings of Linchuan have also returned to tranquility.

On the streets of Linchuan, even Martial Artists have become fewer in number. Moreover, these Martial Artists are quite honest. Some Martial Artists have even started living ordinary lives, finding jobs in various places.

Of course, for them, the place they most want to work is still the Palace of the Nether King.

During this period, the fame of the Palace of the Nether King has quite thoroughly resounded.

In one battle, they wiped out the Allied Forces of the Holy Mountain and the Yu Family, with even two Earth-level Experts perishing in that battle. The name of the Nether Army has been etched in the hearts of many Martial Artists.

However, what many Martial Artists find regrettable is that during this period, the Palace of the Nether King, under the guise of recuperation, is no longer recruiting newcomers to join.

And in fact, the Palace of the Nether King is indeed recuperating.

That battle was fought bitterly—extremely bitterly.

Of the close combat troops, numbering over two hundred, only less than eighty survived, and practically everyone was seriously injured.

Of course, their accomplishment was to completely annihilate the Allied Forces of the Holy Mountain and the Yu family’s juniors.

And this wasn’t even the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that Li Chen disappeared.

At the moment when Luo Kai self-destructed, many people saw Li Chen take Luo Kai and soar into the sky.

Yet at the instant of Luo Kai’s self-destruction, they vanished along with Li Chen.

Many saw a flash of black light at the moment of their disappearance, but nobody knew what it was, nor could anyone confirm whether Li Chen was dead.

But the fact remains; Li Chen truly disappeared.

Li Chen’s disappearance indeed caused some unrest within the Nether Army. But with Catherine’s presence, these disturbances soon calmed down.

Previously, Li Chen often wasn’t at the Palace of the Nether King, during which Catherine was responsible for managing affairs.

So even though Li Chen disappeared, with the cooperation of several leaders, the Nether Army remained under control.

However, rumors still couldn’t be avoided.

"Messenger, someone is looking for you." Catherine was writing down plans for the subsequent restructuring of the Nether Army on a drawing when a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Catherine asked.

However, before the voice could answer, the door had already opened.

Catherine turned to look and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can’t I be here?" Lin Xiaoxiao retorted.

"In these few days, neither Sister, Brother-in-law, nor Sister Qianqian has been seen, and I can’t reach them by phone. What’s going on?" Lin Xiaoxiao said with some discontent.

Catherine paused, then explained, "Some... rather complicated things have happened."

"Complicated things? What exactly happened?" Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Catherine’s poor complexion, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Catherine was hesitating over how to organize her words when a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Li Chen disappeared, your sister is seriously injured."

Upon hearing this voice, they were both stunned, then turned to look, seeing a figure standing leisurely at the doorway.

"It’s you!" Seeing this figure, Lin Xiaoxiao’s face turned unsightly: "What are you doing here?"

An Qin gestured toward Catherine with a nod: "She’s the one who asked me to come here."

Noticing Lin Xiaoxiao’s displeasure, Catherine couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"By the way! What did you just say? Brother-in-law disappeared? Sister seriously injured? How is this possible?!" Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly reacted, shouting loudly.

Catherine motioned to An Qin, but An Qin shook her head: "It’s okay. She has to learn about it anyway, whether sooner or later, what’s the difference?"

Catherine fell silent.

Seeing Catherine remain silent, Lin Xiaoxiao understood that what An Qin said must be true.

"How... how is this possible? Brother-in-law is so powerful, how could he fail to protect Sister, how could such a thing happen?!" Lin Xiaoxiao incredulously covered her face.

"No one is truly invincible." Catherine shook her head: "The boss, in the end, is also just a person."

"Where’s my sister anyway? Where is she now?" After a while of silence, Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"She’s been taken for healing, we’re also just preparing to visit her." Catherine said.

An Qin quietly turned her head, her mood no better than Lin Xiaoxiao’s. At the critical moment, she couldn’t help Li Chen; for her, this blow was even more severe than for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Currently, having left the Holy Mountain, An Qin was genuinely unanchored, relying solely on Li Chen.

But now, even Li Chen has disappeared.

An Qin may seem calm on the surface, but inside, she was already confused.

She didn’t know what she ought to do.

"Let’s go visit the relic together." Catherine suggested.

"The boss mentioned, his four grandfathers are all experts with divine skills. I believe, if it’s them, they’ll surely think of a solution." Catherine said.

At the base entrance, Ye Tu watched Catherine and the others leaving, silently.

Due to Li Chen’s disappearance, the mood within the Nether Army had been somber these days.

"Old Ye, you said, the boss is definitely alright, right?" Sitting beside Ye Tu, Chu Pojun, smoking silently, suddenly spoke.

Around them were a few battle generals squatting, puffing smoke, appearing somewhat dejected.

"Absolutely!" Ye Tu clenched his fist and said.

"Who is the boss?" Ye Tu turned his head to look at those around him: "Have you ever seen anything that could stump the boss?"

Ye Tu recalled the flash of black light he saw at the moment of Luo Kai’s self-destruction.

"I believe the boss is certainly somewhere living well, perhaps even breaking through to Earth level." Ye Tu clapped his hands and said: "Come on, come on! Enough talk, let’s get up and practice, or when the boss returns and sees us still at this level of cultivation, he’ll definitely blow up!"

Pulling a group of them to continue practicing, Ye Tu silently thought to himself: "The boss will surely come back!"

The relic is not far from Linchuan.

It didn’t take long for Catherine and the others to arrive at the relic and, after notifying Wang Qianqian inside, the stone gate of the relic opened.

They stepped forward, walking straight into the relic.

Lin Xiaoxiao was evidently here for the first time, but influenced by her mood, she didn’t pay attention to the surroundings and, upon seeing the group beside the cabin, she rushed over immediately.

"Sister!"
