Chapter 589: Chapter 561: Search

Li Chen was feeling extremely agitated.

Because Li Xinmei had only given him one day.

That is to say, he must rush to Dongyang City by tonight, otherwise Lin Yi would really be in danger.

Right now, he simply didn’t have so much time to waste. If it were normal times, perhaps he would play with this kid, but now, he had completely lost the mood.

"I’m going in first," Li Chen said to An Xiu, pointing to Luo Qing who had already passed out and continued, "He’s just fainted. He should come to soon."

"Don’t worry, Brother Li Chen, you go ahead," An Xiu said to Li Chen.

From the gloomy and somewhat terrifying expression on Li Chen’s face, An Xiu knew that he must have something very urgent to do, otherwise, he wouldn’t look like this.

Without delay, she didn’t dare to linger and hurriedly gestured for people to bring Li Chen into the stronghold.

Li Chen soon came out of An Cheng’s room.

The moment he came out, he immediately headed to the vicinity of the Sacred Pool.

Looking at the mysterious Pool Water of the Sacred Pool, Li Chen’s eyes also carried a hint of the inexplicable.

Originally, when the Red Moon had fallen into the pool on its own, he had planned to give up on the Red Moon back then.

After all, in his view, although the Red Moon could bring power, this power came too easily. Second Grandfather had taught him that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Thus, he didn’t feel very downhearted about the disappearance of the Red Moon.

But unexpectedly, after such a short time, he had to come back to look for the Red Moon again.

He needed power!

He also needed this ’pie in the sky’, even if it was poisoned, he could only grit his teeth and bite down.

As long as he could save Lin Yi.

"Plop!"

After taking a deep breath, Li Chen plunged deep into the Sacred Pool.

More than ten minutes later, Li Chen surfaced, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air. The True Qi inside his body quietly circulated for a while before he dove down again.

He could see the cliffs beside the Pool Water, but he just couldn’t reach the bottom of the Pool Water. The water of the Sacred Pool was too deep, to the point that even Li Chen didn’t know where this water could possibly lead to.

However, he didn’t give up, surfacing time after time, and diving again and again.

The True Qi within his body was being depleted greatly, but he didn’t mind at all.

Diving into the Pool Water over and over, only to return each time without success.

Li Chen’s face was cold, as if unaffected by the slightest impact.

"I must find it!"

...

Below was covered with snowstorm, above, spring was blooming.

Such a sight would appear strange, even inconceivable to anyone’s eyes.

This was a towering mountain peak.

Yet, on this mountain, there was this odd spectacle, and no one knew how it came to be.

And nobody knew how powerful the people here were.

In a quaint hut built of wood, a person was sitting.

An old man.

At the moment, the old man was holding a piece of jade stone in his hand.

A fractured piece of jade stone.

"Crack."

As the old man casually fidgeted with it, the whole piece of jade crumbled into dust in an instant, scattering on the floor.

Looking at the young man in front of him, the elder’s face showed a faint shade of melancholy, "Andy is dead."

He gently tapped the desk twice and said softly, "Send for An Ze."

The elder’s voice was very light, as if talking to himself, but outside the door, a clear response was heard.

"Yes."

Before long, a young man slowly opened the door and walked in from the outside.

There was a unique air about the youth.

An air, fresh and irresistibly approachable to anyone who laid eyes on him.

The youth was exceedingly handsome, so beautiful he resembled a woman!

If he were dressed as a woman, he would surely pass as a stunningly beautiful one!

It was a shame he was a man!

Despite this, there was an aura about him that was vastly different from ordinary people. Even men who saw him could feel no animosity.

His blue attire made him seem even more otherworldly.

As if, he did not belong in this mundane world.

"An Ze."

"I pay my respects to the elder."

The elder looked at An Ze, a flash of indescribable emotion crossing his face, "Soon, the Holy Mountain will open once again. This time, you go."

"Does the elder mean... this time I am to descend the mountain?" An Ze looked at the elder with some surprise.

"Correct." The elder looked at An Ze and spoke calmly, "Moreover, this descent off the mountain, you have a mission."

"Please speak frankly, elder."

"Find a man named Li Chen, and moreover, kill him." The elder spoke indifferently, "Not long ago, Andy died at his hands."

"Although our Holy Mountain hasn’t shown itself before the masses for a long time, I think it’s necessary to remind some folks of their place." The elder said with a cold smile.

"Understood! I will strictly follow the elder’s orders!" An Ze replied respectfully.

"Right." The elder, satisfied with An Ze’s reaction, nodded and added, "When you leave, take ’Frost’ with you."

"Should I take ’Frost’?" This time, even An Ze was somewhat taken aback.

"Indeed, since it’s decided to eliminate him, it’s best to resolve the issue in the shortest time possible, without delay."

"I understand, elder." An Ze bowed his head and walked towards a place not far away.

Before long, when An Ze reappeared, there hung a deep blue sword at his waist.

"Li Chen..." Thinking of that secret only he knew, An Ze’s gaze flickered momentarily as he walked towards the path leading down the mountain.

"Splash!"

Li Chen dived repeatedly into the pool water, only to surface again and again, his face showing profound exhaustion.

But he knew he couldn’t stop, he had no time to rest.

"I must find it!"

"I must save Lin Yi!"

"I must!!"

At this moment, Li Chen’s heart was consumed by a single obsession, which was to find the Red Moon.

True Qi is powerful, but it is not omnipotent.

After several dives, Li Chen’s body began to weaken from the lack of oxygen.

After all, barely breathing a few breaths over such a long span once or twice was manageable, and thrice or four times bearable, but after so many attempts, even Li Chen’s brain began to suffer from oxygen deprivation.

Li Chen could feel his consciousness starting to blur.

However, he still did not give up.

Finally, once again diving into the pool, Li Chen discovered a red light alongside a cliff. The sight of that red glow instantly brought him back to full alertness.

"Whoosh!"

Leaping out of the water, Li Chen fell to his knees beside the Sacred Pool, looking utterly drained.

But in his hand, he held a blood-red blade.

Looking at the red blade, Li Chen burst into frenzied laughter.
