Chapter 620: Chapter 592: Making an Appearance

Having left the hospital, Li Chen’s expression seemed somewhat eerie.

How could Lieu Shasha have come into contact with the aura of the Red Moon?

After all, the Red Moon had disappeared from his villa not long before.

Li Chen’s gaze grew intense.

He inquired about the time when Yu Yueying and Lieu Shasha fell ill—it was shortly after the disappearance of the Red Moon.

"Maybe, I’m about to find you," Li Chen mused, a flicker of contemplation shining in his eyes.

Lately, Li Chen had been feeling inexplicably uneasy, but even he himself couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason.

However, he was clear about one thing—the major reason was probably the disappearance of the Red Moon.

In his opinion, the perpetrator might have been the woman in white. Her martial prowess was so formidable that even he had to be cautious, and if it was indeed her who had taken the Red Moon...

Even Li Chen could hardly imagine the consequences.

After some contemplation, Li Chen decided to visit the vicinity of Lieu Shasha’s residence.

He had previously obtained the address from Yu Yueying and had left ahead precisely to check out the situation here.

For Li Chen, the implications of this matter were far too significant, and he didn’t want to drag Yu Yueying and her daughter into it.

This was an old street.

Unlike other flourishing areas of Linchuan, this old street still maintained its appearance from decades ago. However, it seemed to have been specially preserved as a protection of cultural heritage.

Walking down the street, one could distinctly feel an ancient and simple aura wafting over.

For many residents living on the old street, this was a nostalgia. Of course, the bigger reason was that they lacked the economic strength to move to more prosperous areas.

Therefore, this place not only retained its ancient look but also harbored many of Linchuan’s darker aspects, using it as a stronghold.

"Whoosh—"

Li Chen’s figure flashed past and entered the old street, strolling leisurely like an ordinary person out for a nighttime walk.

But his bodily perception was heightened to the maximum at this moment.

"Indeed."

Suddenly, Li Chen’s slightly lowered gaze flickered, and from this old street, he sensed the aura of the Red Moon.

The aura of the Red Moon was too unique—to conceal it was difficult. Especially for Li Chen, who once briefly possessed the Red Moon, the sensitivity to this aura was heightened.

The night on the old street was very quiet, with few passersby, so Li Chen’s presence stood out somewhat awkwardly.

Just as he was about to follow the aura to continue his search, he suddenly saw a white figure appearing not far from him.

"It’s you!"

As Li Chen saw the white figure, the figure also noticed Li Chen’s presence.

Upon seeing Li Chen, An Qin revealed a hint of surprise in her eyes before quickly turning to leave.

"Don’t run!"

A low shout came from Li Chen’s mouth, and in an instant, he disappeared from his spot, chasing after An Qin at full speed.

"Boom!!"

Blocking a strike from Li Chen, An Qin frowned slightly. She didn’t want to fight with him, so after blocking his attack, she immediately sped off even faster towards the distance.

However, how could Li Chen let An Qin go at this moment?

His figure likewise flashed, and he immediately pursued her.

"Tap!"

An Qin stepped on the wall and leapt up, scaling the wall to land high on the rooftop.

"Hmm?"

Li Chen’s brow furrowed, and he followed suit.

For Li Chen, he couldn’t just let An Qin escape now.

This was his only clue at the moment. If he let An Qin go, who knew when he would find another lead?

Moreover, Lieu Shasha had been infected with the aura of the Red Moon, and An Qin appeared just here—could such coincidences really happen?

Li Chen’s body also leapt up, soaring towards the rooftop. The two of them continued their light-footed pursuit across the rooftops.

For individuals like them, accomplishing such feats was not difficult.

One was determined to escape, the other equally determined to chase, and so, they were locked in this deadlock.

Once again, Li Chen caught up with An Qin and attacked her at close range.

Seeing Li Chen persistently entangling her, An Qin’s expression gradually turned sour.

"Are you some kind of adhesive candy, why are you clinging to me and not letting go?"

Li Chen’s expression remained calm, "If you tell me what your purpose is in coming here, I will let you go."

An Qin’s eyebrows shot up, "You really think I’m afraid of you?"

"Let’s find out," Li Chen said with a nonchalant smile.

Although An Qin was very powerful, she had not reached the point where Li Chen was afraid of her.

"Swoosh—"

For the first time, An Qin launched an attack towards Li Chen. As she closed in, her attacks were like a fierce storm, which immediately overwhelmed Li Chen.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of blows caused Li Chen’s expression to shift slightly.

All of a sudden, Li Chen thrust out his palm towards An Qin.

"Boom!"

Li Chen’s palm struck its target, but at the same time, he paid the price of taking two punches to the chest, feeling a slight suffocation that almost made him spit out blood.

However, when Li Chen lowered his head, he found himself in an awkward situation again.

For in his hand, without knowing when, another bandage had appeared.

"Uh..." Li Chen looked at the bandage in his hand with some helplessness. Twined within the bandage was a delicate Jade Pendant.

Seeing the bandage in Li Chen’s hand, An Qin’s face turned red with anger and humiliation. She quickly closed her clothes and glared at Li Chen furiously.

"I’m not the person you’re looking for!" An Qin glared at Li Chen and said, "Why are you relentlessly chasing after me?"

Indeed, Li Chen had not sensed any major hostility from An Qin, but she was the only clue he had so far, so naturally, he was not willing to give up easily.

Subconsciously, Li Chen glanced at the Jade Pendant in his hand.

"Give me back the Jade Pendant!" Seeing Li Chen look at the Jade Pendant, An Qin could not hide a trace of panic in her eyes.

"Unless you’re willing to surrender peacefully and come with me," Li Chen said with a smile as he looked at An Qin.

He didn’t even pay attention to what the Jade Pendant was, simply fiddling with it in his hand.

"In your dreams!"

An Qin glared at Li Chen and charged at him again, intent on taking back the Jade Pendant.

However, Li Chen obviously was not about to let An Qin have the Jade Pendant so easily. At this time, his intention was to find a way to keep her there. The more she did not want to leave, the better it suited his purposes.

"Boom!"

Blocking An Qin’s strike, Li Chen flipped his body and tried to touch her body at a bizarre angle.

With this move, Li Chen aimed to hit a pressure point on An Qin’s body.

He could tell that An Qin really had no ill intentions towards him, so he was very cautious with his strength, not wanting to harm her.

Seemingly perceiving Li Chen’s desire to subdue her, a trace of disdain flashed across An Qin’s eyes.

Although Li Chen’s strength was comparable to hers, she still had a trump card up her sleeve. If she used it, Li Chen would probably not be her match.

After hesitating for a moment, An Qin gave up the idea of continuing her struggle with Li Chen. She blocked his finger and, with a sway of her True Qi, clashed head-on with Li Chen, causing both of them to fly backward.

After giving Li Chen a deep look, An Qin prepared to leave directly, turning around and dashing away into the distance.

"Hey, hey! Don’t run away! Don’t you want the Jade Pendant?" Li Chen shouted after her in haste.

Seeing An Qin really about to run off, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless. Hadn’t she just shown how much she cared for the Jade Pendant? Why did she suddenly abandon it?

As Li Chen was about to continue his pursuit, the presence of a strange aura caused him to stop after jumping over two houses.

Feeling this aura, Li Chen’s expression became more solemn.

"Red Moon!"

Similarly, An Qin, who was fleeing ahead, also sensed the aura of the Red Moon and stopped as well.

Their perceptions were almost released simultaneously, searching for the source of this aura around them.

Unlike before, the previous streets had scattered traces of the Red Moon’s aura, but this time, they could clearly sense that the aura was emitted by the Red Moon’s entity.

And the distance was very close!

Their perceptions gradually spread out, finally pinpointing an old, dilapidated house not far away.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, inside this damp and cold old house, a figure was sitting in meditation. They seemed to have sensed the two presences nearby, and their brow deeply furrowed.

"I didn’t expect them to find me so soon," murmured the Black General as he slightly raised his head, revealing a somewhat peculiar face.

While the Black General was not inherently ugly, his face, seemingly deprived of sunlight for many years, was pale, giving him a ghastly, zombie-like appearance that was extremely off-putting.

Moreover, the body under the black cloak was like that of a mummy: shriveled and horrifying.

"I haven’t recovered to my peak condition yet. Going out like this is not in my best interest," the Black General shook his head slightly.

But as he sensed two increasingly intense auras closing in from outside, he knew he probably could not hide any longer today.

"However, what if I can’t hide? Even if I haven’t fully recovered, with the Red Moon, do I need to be afraid of you?" A cold smile appeared on the face of the Black General.

In the next moment, under the pressing gaze of Li Chen and An Qin, a figure shrouded in a black cloak suddenly shot up from the old house into the sky.
