Chapter 449: Chapter 423: Healing Wounds

The exit that Li Chen and others used led to a temple, which had been desolate for a while, and the entrance to the maze was actually located beneath the base of a Buddha Statue.

Li Chen was also amazed by such a clever design.

After leaving the temple, Li Chen saw that it was still the desolate Primitive Forest in the distance, but now it was night, and under the moonlight, it was not very clear.

"Let’s go back,"

Li Chen said faintly.

...

That very night, Li Chen and the two girls returned to Cainan Province, and the colleagues who had come on the trip hadn’t left either; they were overjoyed to see Li Chen and his group safely return.

After a series of questions and comforts, Li Chen had already told Yue’er not to divulge too much, so they managed to gloss over the matter.

The incident with the maze was likely to draw national attention, though there was also a chance that the news hadn’t spread. However, that probability was quite small.

The next day, the frightened group hurriedly took a flight back to Linchuan, as what was supposed to be a vacation had nearly scared them to death.

"Finally back in Linchuan,"

Yue’er said, patting her chest, her heart still lingering with fear from the maze experience. She never wanted to go through something like that again. The less than twenty hours spent in the maze felt like a lifetime to her.

"Everyone should go and rest, and recover during the remaining holiday," Lin Yi spoke considerately for a while before they all went their separate ways.

Lin Xiaoxiao was curious to know what had happened between Li Chen and Lin Yi down there, but Lin Yi just shook his head and said nothing.

Even as strong as Lin Yi was, such an event still left a shadow, thankfully Li Chen was there to comfort him.

Once back at the villa, Lin Yi decided to take a shower, wanting to wash away all the discomfort brought by the trip.

Meanwhile, Li Chen returned to his room and took out the Silver Needles, beginning to treat the injuries within his body.

After the Silver Needles were inserted, Li Chen sat cross-legged and began to nurture his body; the Mysterious Technique also started to circulate.

Not long after he began healing, Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion in them, it seemed his body’s strength had significantly increased from before.

He was very familiar with his body previously, but now, Li Chen could distinctly feel his veins were broader and the flow of True Qi smoother; the improvement in his physical condition was very apparent.

Li Chen thought it must be the effect of the Golden Core, and also, the times he was on the verge of being seriously injured in the maze and then recovered, resembled extreme training, but this was in actual combat, thus, the effect was more pronounced.

Moreover, the effect of the Golden Core continued to nourish his injuries, causing his body to continuously train and thus strengthen gradually.

As Li Chen conjectured, besides these two reasons, the Mysterious Technique was also a crucial factor. Li Chen had underestimated the Mysterious Technique he had learned; if he could elevate its Realm even higher, his power would be incredibly terrifying.

Soon, Li Chen was engrossed again in the invigorating flow of True Qi within his body, and his injuries were rapidly healing.

At this rate, in a few days, Li Chen’s injuries would completely heal, and his strength would significantly increase!

His combat exchanges in the maze also led Li Chen to deeper insights, and similarly, his understanding of individual strength in this world was also renewed.

Originally, Li Chen thought that apart from the Main God Ranking, there were few powerful practitioners in the world; however, it was not so with those Silver Monsters and Golden Monsters. If a Main God at the bottom of the ranking were to face these monsters, there would basically be no chance of victory.

Moreover, why had Great Grandfather left seclusion? Seeing his familiarity with the maze troubled Li Chen immensely.

The strength displayed by Great Grandfather also astonished Li Chen. Such terrifying power entirely surpassed the Main God and was even beyond!

Although Great Grandfather hadn’t emerged from the Relic, given his strength, Li Chen wasn’t overly worried. After all, no one could threaten him with such terrifying power.

After some Healing, Li Chen opened his eyes and then made a phone call.

"Master."

On the other end of the line, the voice of the previous Nether Army squad captain came through.

"What’s the status of the Relic?" Li Chen asked.

Last night, Li Chen had left a group of people in Mong Kok Forest to locate the ancient Relic underground. If possible, it was best if they could go further down and rescue Great Grandfather and the others.

Li Chen now suspected that, besides Great Grandfather, the other three grandfathers were also inside the Relic. And what was on the other side of that hidden passage Great Grandfather had directly found?

These were questions that needed to be resolved.

"Master, the Relic has disappeared."

What?

The Relic has disappeared?

Li Chen was stunned, "Wasn’t the entrance to the Relic there?"

"The previous entrance has been blocked by rocks and dirt. We are now searching for a new entrance, but so far, we haven’t found it. It seems as though the other entrances have also vanished."

Vanished?

Li Chen pondered for a moment. If he could know the exact location of that hall, he could simply order someone to dig directly from the ground. But the Maze was so vast, and Li Chen had been so disoriented underground that he had no idea of the exact coordinates.

"Keep looking, use all kinds of instruments to search. The Relic can’t just run away."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen also exhaled deeply.

After this Relic incident was over, the Main God Ranking should be refreshed. After all, Apollo had died tragically inside the Relic, and others knew about this. It was uncertain whether the Ranking would proceed by advancement rules, or if Great Grandfather would be listed.

But Li Chen knew that Great Grandfather didn’t care about that at all. Even if the First Main God were to come, Great Grandfather would simply erupt in fury.

In the following days, Li Chen focused on healing his wounds and also spent time talking with Lin Yi, naturally being mischievous with Lin Yi at night to help her forget the events inside the Relic.

Over the days, Li Chen’s injuries had almost completely healed, and he felt his strength had indeed increased compared to before. Similarly, Lin Yi’s spirits had also recovered quite a lot, it seemed she was starting to break free from the ordeal of the Relic.

Lin Xiaoxiao, after asking multiple times without results, had also stopped asking. The little sister-in-law, somewhat thoughtless and carefree, had become obsessed with other things and immediately went out to have fun with several girlfriends.

That evening, when Li Chen went downstairs, he found Lin Xiaoxiao sitting with Lin Yi on the sofa, the two sisters chatting. Smiling, Li Chen walked over.

"Sis, what happened underground that day? Tell me, tell me," Lin Xiaoxiao used her ultimate move—coquetry.

Lin Yi gave a bitter smile and upon seeing Li Chen coming, hurriedly said, "Go ask your brother-in-law."
