Chapter 1097: Chapter 1069 Rest

"What’s the situation now?" An Xiu and Zhang Jing looked anxious.

"I don’t know." Fan Bayin sat on the side with an icy expression.

His mood was truly bad, extremely bad.

As a Spirit Summoner, low-level souls are indeed worthless, as many as you want. Anyway, to put it bluntly, these ghost spirits are just a kind of wandering energy, basically no different from True Qi. One acts inside the body, while the other acts outside.

But those two Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts were refined using many precious materials with special methods, and losing even one would cause him immense pain.

Originally, two of them were thwarted by Li Chen, and now another two have been swallowed by that monster, which truly makes his heart ache like it’s bleeding.

"This loss is absolutely foolish!" Fan Bayin felt like crying without tears.

Though he only had the strength of the Black Rope level, with the original Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts fighting alongside him, he had confidence to battle even Union Level experts.

But now, the loss is so great, with his genuine personal strength, he might struggle to face Black Rope level experts of the same rank.

Moreover, he is not skilled at close combat at all...

Seeing Fan Bayin distracted, the two girls didn’t push him further but turned to An Cheng.

"Dad, do you know how Brother Li Chen is?"

An Cheng’s face looked very serious.

"Li Chen is very strong, but I’m not clear on his exact strength. However, the Myriad Gu is indeed a legendary existence!"

An Cheng said with a strained face, "In some Miaojiang legends, the Myriad Gu is not only the King of Myriad Gu but also the offspring of the first Gu Ancestor. Its power is incredibly strong, capable of endless transformations and infinite evolution."

"Although legends may exaggerate, its power is unquestionable. Given enough time to grow, it might indeed become an invincible existence." An Cheng shook his head.

Hearing An Cheng’s words, the two girls became even more worried.

However, at this moment, a light laugh suddenly came from the side.

"Unfortunately, it doesn’t have time to grow."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads simultaneously and looked towards the side, surprise evident in their eyes.

The person who spoke was Li Chen.

At this moment, Li Chen looked somewhat battered, his clothes mostly torn. Of course, most of them were shredded during his transformation. Now returned to his original state, those already ragged clothes became strips hanging on him.

"Li Chen... do you mean... you won?" An Cheng said with difficulty.

Including Fan Bayin, everyone looked at Li Chen with disbelief.

They seemed unable to believe that Li Chen actually managed to resolve that terrifying monster.

"That guy was indeed difficult to deal with, it took me quite some Kung Fu to kill it." Li Chen grinned and said.

This time, everyone was finally certain they hadn’t misheard.

"Brother Li Chen!"

The two girls immediately rushed to Li Chen and threw themselves into his embrace.

Li Chen looked stunned, but after a moment, he patted the girls’ backs and chuckled lightly.

"Don’t worry, everything’s fine now."

However, it was as if the girls hadn’t heard him, burying their heads firmly in Li Chen’s chest and holding onto him tightly with no intention to let go.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly.

An Cheng and Fan Bayin looked at Li Chen with eyes that became somewhat peculiar.

"Could it really be a matter of appearance?" Fan Bayin rubbed his chin, looking strangely towards Li Chen.

After a long time, the two girls finally realized their situation, embarrassingly releasing Li Chen. But the tear marks still hanging at the corners of their eyes made them look pitiful.

An Cheng finally walked over and asked Li Chen, "Now that the Myriad Gu has been solved, what about Miao Zheng and his men..."

Li Chen glanced at An Cheng, his eyes meaningful, but he didn’t explain.

Seeing Li Chen’s gaze, An Cheng nodded. After getting to know him, he understood Li Chen’s character to some extent. Miao Zheng and his men indeed almost cost them everything. Since Li Chen didn’t fall, it meant... Miao Zheng and his men fell themselves.

He took several people back to the Miao Village.

At this moment, most people in the Miao Village were still unaware of what had just happened outside, busy initiating reconstruction efforts.

The large fire indeed raged violently, almost burning down the entire village.

Although not completely burned down, indeed half of the village was almost burned.

Rebuilding naturally requires a lot of manpower and materials.

An Cheng watched as the villagers of the village started to busy themselves, relieved in his heart, knowing that this matter was finally over.

"Alright." Looking at the bustling village, a smile appeared on Li Chen’s face: "Since your problems are resolved, I should go attend to my own matters."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, An Cheng paused, and then felt somewhat guilty.

Originally, Li Chen came seeking his help, but in the end, it was Li Chen who extended a big helping hand, while he did nothing.

"As for the Gu poison on that girl... I’ll take you to other villages to inquire." An Cheng hesitated before speaking up.

"That would be great." Li Chen’s face broke into a smile.

For him, the main purpose of coming here was the Gu poison on Zhong Tian and others, and since they were already here, he wouldn’t ever give up.

"Hey, do you want to come with me?" Li Chen looked at Fan Bayin beside him, who remained silent.

"Not going!" Fan Bayin replied stiffly.

Li Chen chuckled to himself, knowing some of Fan Bayin’s situation. The Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts were powerful in combat, clearly not something easily summoned. But now he lost several of them in a row, and Fan Bayin’s mood would certainly be sour.

Shaking his head without pressing, Li Chen rested in the Miao Village for the night, and the next day left with An Cheng.

As for the village’s defensive power, without Miao Zheng as a hidden threat, there’s actually not much that could truly threaten the village. Additionally, with Fan Bayin guarding, no issues should arise, allowing Li Chen to leave without worry.

Li Chen’s chosen first battle was the Miao Village where Miao Zheng and his men were located.

Though Miao Zheng and his men have completely disappeared, the village still operated normally without them.

And indeed, the truth of the world is that it keeps turning, regardless of who is missing.
