Chapter 564: Chapter 536: Push or Not

When Li Chen saw clearly the things depicted on the mural, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

Because the things painted on that mural were not only things he had heard of but had also seen with his own eyes.

What was carved on the mural was unmistakably Mong Kok Forest!

On that mural, Li Chen not only saw the specific location of Mong Kok Forest but also saw the relic.

Even the black monster and the Golden Core were vividly depicted on the mural.

"Who in the world would carve here, and what on earth was his purpose?" Li Chen fell into deep confusion.

How could the relics in Mong Kok Forest appear on this pool water’s mural? Li Chen couldn’t figure it out.

But one thing he could be certain of.

The person who carved these murals had definitely been to that relic, although when exactly he went there was unknown.

But from the traces on this mural, it was obviously quite old.

Li Chen’s gaze continued to follow the mural further back.

However, when Li Chen saw the last mural, he was somewhat stunned again.

Because in the last painting on the mural, there was clearly a strikingly seductive knife.

Compared to the other murals, he was even more familiar with this knife.

Because if he remembered correctly, the "Red Moon" Demon Blade currently in Andy’s hand should look just like this.

"Could it be that this Demon Blade was the one Andy obtained from inside Mong Kok Forest?" a thoughtful look appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

But soon, he gave up pondering and floated upwards.

The mural was no more, the last one being the Demon Blade "Red Moon."

But for some reason, Li Chen always felt that the mural seemed incomplete.

There was no other reason, just an intuition that naturally arose.

"This mural is absolutely not complete!"

However, even if the mural really wasn’t finished, at this time, he should have come ashore.

Because his body would not allow him to continue spending time here.

"Puff!"

Li Chen emerged from the surface of the Sacred Pool and sat down beside it. His True Qi surged upwards, and soon, his soaking wet clothes were dried by his power.

After checking his surroundings and seeing that there were indeed no others around, Li Chen finally stood up and walked outside the temple.

He decided to prepare well, wait until his strength was fully restored, and after making the necessary preparations, come back and dive into the pool again.

His intuition told him that there must be something at the bottom of the pool, but for now, he was unable to see it.

Having left the temple, Li Chen’s identity also became known to the people of the village, so many villagers greeted Li Chen with friendly smiles when they saw him, without anyone coming up to ask anything else.

And indeed, Li Chen had truly saved the entire village.

This was unquestionable, so as Li Chen walked through the village, his path was smooth and unobstructed.

"Let’s rest for a bit and take a walk around," Li Chen muttered to himself.

Since he now had to wait for his True Qi to be restored before he could dive back into the Sacred Pool, it was better to take a walk instead of worrying about it.

With that thought, Li Chen left the village and went into the surrounding forest for a stroll.

Perhaps for others, this primitive forest was full of the spirit of adventure and was also replete with surprises and dangers. But for him, these so-called dangers really were nothing much.

Moreover, with the village just nearby, wandering around in the forest was also a way for Li Chen to clear his mind.

The forest was very quiet, especially during the day, it was so serene it felt unsettling.

Because the animals in the forest were mostly active at night, the daytime in the forest was comparatively even more silent.

As Li Chen walked through the forest, he suddenly heard laughter not far away.

Driven by curiosity, he walked over only to find that it was the group of university students who had shared the car ride with him.

Zhang Jing was among these people.

Seeing the group, Li Chen looked slightly surprised, but soon, one of the students loudly called out to him.

"Brother Cheen! Is that you? Brother Cheen!"

Hearing the voice, many people turned their heads in his direction.

There, Li Chen was indeed standing.

Seeing Li Chen, many of them greeted him warmly.

Li Chen didn’t deliberately hide and, seeing the group greeting him, nodded and walked over.

"Brother Cheen, we were looking for you just now. Didn’t expect you to have arrived here first," the leading student seemed to greatly admire Li Chen, and upon seeing him come over, hurriedly walked up to him and began to speak.

He wanted to pat Li Chen on the shoulder but suddenly remembered that he wasn’t that familiar with Li Chen, so his hand hung in the air and he changed the direction to scratch his head instead.

"What are you guys doing here?" Li Chen looked at the group curiously and asked.

After learning Li Chen’s identity as the powerhouse who had saved the entire Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts World, a group of university students’ admiration for Li Chen reached an unprecedented height.

When Li Chen asked a question, someone immediately stepped forward and said, "We have already contacted Miao Village here in advance. Our ultimate destination this time is the Miao Village in these mountains; however, we haven’t found it yet..."

"Brother Cheen, do you know where the Miao Village is? Let me tell you about Miao Village..." exclaimed the very communicative student, about to prattle on endlessly.

But he was cut off mid-sentence by Li Chen.

"I just came from there. Let me take you there," Li Chen said with a smile.

The young man’s expression froze at Li Chen’s words, becoming somewhat embarrassed.

He had wanted to show off his knowledge, only to find out that Li Chen had just come from there.

Some of the girls in the group couldn’t help but stifle their laughter at the young man’s dejected look.

Zhang Jing, in particular, looked at Li Chen with curiosity.

From rescuing her from the car to later driving off a pack of wolves.

And now appearing in the woods outside Miao Village, this man always seemed to exude a mysterious aura.

This aura, especially for women, was quite deadly.

Unwittingly, Zhang Jing had been completely captivated by Li Chen, eager to find out what had happened to this man.

And why he possessed such immense strength and seemed to be omnipresent.

He always appeared when least expected.

"Let’s go; since you’ve contacted people from the village, it should be no problem for me to take you there," Li Chen told the group.

Under Li Chen’s guidance, the group soon arrived at the village.

"It’s you guys!"

Seeing the arrival of Zhang Jing and the others, a young man at the entrance immediately broke out in a smile.

Then, he called into the village.

"Guests are coming!"

As his voice faded, a few people came out from the village and welcomed Zhang Jing and the others inside.

Due to their arrival, the village even prepared a big feast for the group.

The villagers never slackened their hospitality, a trait that was evident in their treatment of the university students.

These mountain villages were not necessarily xenophobic.

It was merely due to their long lack of contact with the outside world that they naturally became wary and cautious.

In fact, these simple mountain folk were very hospitable.

Of course, this was only partly true.

Like Miao Chengda and his village, they were an exception.

Through An Cheng, Li Chen had learned that Miao Chengda indeed hailed from that village.

However, what their intentions were remained unknown.

An Cheng only knew that their village seemed to be planning a very significant scheme.

Li Chen did not inquire further about it. After all, since the two villages were hostile, it was already quite rare for An Cheng to know this much.

As dusk fell, the village began to prepare special food for the group.

A shadowy figure, unnoticed by anyone, silently sneaked into the kitchen, left something there, and then departed without alerting anyone.

That evening, the village specifically prepared a bonfire party for the visiting university students, which Li Chen did not decline. He sat aside, smilingly watching everyone dancing.

To him, these moments indeed counted as a rare rest.

And he truly needed to rest for a while.

Some people invited Li Chen to join the dance, but he declined all their offers.

For Li Chen, just sitting quietly was the best rest.

After sitting for a while, Li Chen activated his "escape mode"; he realized that the fiery atmosphere here was somewhat overwhelming for him.

Perhaps due to different experiences and perspectives, although Li Chen was willing to join in, he always felt like he was standing outside the crowd.

Quietly leaving the party scene, just around a corner, Li Chen suddenly felt a soft body bump right into his arms.

Looking down, he saw Zhang Jing, her face flushed, looking up at him.

"Uh..."

Zhang Jing appeared to have drunk quite a bit, her face noticeably red.

Lifting her head and seeing that she was in Li Chen’s arms, she didn’t resist; instead, she reached out and embraced him back.

"Brother Li Chen, do you know, I actually... really like you!" Zhang Jing confessed to Li Chen directly.

"You’ve drunk too much..." Li Chen’s face turned awkward, as he was quite troubled by the girl’s bold confession.

"What am I to do now?"
