Chapter 689: Chapter 661: A Ray of Hope

Hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen, who had thought all hope was lost, suddenly burst with a strange brilliance in his eyes.

Looking at An Qin, Li Chen unexpectedly stood up in an instant, though still weak and untreated, his body swaying slightly.

"What exactly do you mean?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

An Qin glanced at Li Chen: "If she were outside, Wang Qianqian might have already died; her time was running out. But upon entering the Relic, she unexpectedly still has a glimmer of hope."

"A glimmer of hope?" Li Chen asked in confusion.

"That’s right. The Golden Bug and the Black Bug are connected, so after the death of the Black Bug, the energy could only transfer to the Golden Bug. But now, since Wang Qianqian has entered the Relic, even if the Black Bug dies, the energy would only hover outside, unable to reach the Golden Bug."

"Without sufficient energy, naturally, the Black General cannot resurrect, and the true resolver of Wang Qianqian’s issue is also within the Relic. Wouldn’t you say that counts as a glimmer of hope?" An Qin said.

"So what you’re suggesting is, Qianqian has benefitted from this misfortune?" Li Chen immediately inquired.

"It wouldn’t be considered as benefiting from a misfortune." An Qin shook her head: "Because there are many dangers inside the Relic. It’s possible that Wang Qianqian could die from some other cause at any moment, so you must enter the Relic as quickly as possible to ensure her safety."

"How am I supposed to get in?" Upon hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen’s face showed a helpless expression. He wanted to enter the Relic, but it had vanished, and its reappearance was random. He had no idea when it would open next—was he supposed to just wait?

Such an approach was clearly not Li Chen’s style.

"It’s not impossible to force your way into the Relic," An Qin nodded and said: "I’ve heard that to forcibly open the Relic, you need two things. One is the Nine Heavens Frost Jade, and the other is the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone."

"These two items, one extremely cold and the other perpetually warm, only with both can you possibly force the Relic open," An Qin said.

"Where are these two items, and how do I find them?" Li Chen quickly asked upon hearing An Qin’s words.

"I don’t know." This time, An Qin gave Li Chen a three-word answer.

Hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen’s face fell slightly, but then hope rekindled.

Even if there was only a sliver of hope, he was determined to grasp it.

No matter what, he would save Wang Qianqian!

Immediately, Li Chen contacted the Nether Army, described the features of the two items, and then ordered a full-scale search.

This time, Li Chen even mobilized the Nether Army units scattered across the world.

He was determined to find these two items, open the Relic’s gates, and save Wang Qianqian no matter what.

Knowing that there was still hope to save Wang Qianqian, Li Chen’s mood obviously improved, but after all, it was just a ray of hope and did not guarantee success.

"You and the Holy Mountain, what exactly is your stance towards me?" At this moment, Li Chen finally settled down, looked at An Qin, and asked, "Also, what’s the deal with this Relic, and how come such a powerful being could emerge from it?"

Li Chen was very curious. He had entered the Relic before, and the strongest being he had met was that golden creature. But now, compared to that golden creature, his own strength should be much greater, right?

Moreover, the Black General seemed to be related to the Relic as well.

This time, a horrifying Seven-Colored Being with Profound Level strength emerged from the Relic. There was definitely more to the Relic than he believed.

Li Chen could feel that within this relic, there certainly lay some earth-shattering secrets unknown to the world.

Just like the Holy Mountain, although few people appeared, every individual who emerged from the Holy Mountain was powerful enough to leave ordinary people defenseless.

Hearing Li Chen’s question, An Qin shook her head and looked at Li Chen with a hint of indescribable emotion in her eyes.

"You’d better not ask these questions," An Qin said.

"Why not?!" Li Chen said unwillingly, looking at An Qin as a surge of breath started flowing within him.

Since learning that there was still hope for Wang Qianqian, Li Chen began to recover, and moreover, Lin Yi had fed Li Chen quite a bit of the Cold Pool Water, which continued to exert its medicinal power inside him. As soon as he started Circulating Qi, this medicinal power would naturally emanate from him.

Now, he was no longer as powerless as he had been before.

Seeing Li Chen’s condition, Lin Yi couldn’t help but worry.

Although she did not know who this woman really was, she could feel that this woman was probably extraordinary. Li Chen still had injuries on his body, and she feared that Li Chen would suffer a disadvantage.

"Why?" An Qin turned her head to look at Li Chen, "No reason, just that your current strength is still too weak, you’re not worthy to know these matters."

Having said that, An Qin shook her head gently, turned away, and was about to leave ethereally.

"Don’t you dare to leave! If you don’t make things clear today, I won’t let you go!" Li Chen shouted vehemently.

At this moment, his mood was quite foul. Although he knew that Wang Qianqian might still have a chance to live, after all, so many of his subordinates had died - brothers that had accompanied him for many years. And Wang Qianqian’s safety was not one hundred percent certain either.

A fury was constantly suppressed in Li Chen’s heart.

Seeing An Qin’s indifferent attitude, the rage Li Chen had no place to vent instinctively erupted.

In an instant, Li Chen chased after An Qin and slapped his palm toward her.

"Bang!"

An Qin drew out Frost and slapped her palm onto the hilt of the sword. She retreated ethereally, while Li Chen almost knelt on the ground.

"Look at yourself now, a mere Profound Level has beaten you to this state, and yet you dare talk about going to the relic to save someone? It’s laughable!" An Qin said coldly.

Originally, with her strength, she would not have been Li Chen’s match.

However, Li Chen was seriously injured, and he had regained only a small portion of his strength. Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for Li Chen to detain her.

"Hmph!" Li Chen snorted angrily and charged at An Qin again, a hand blade aiming for her shoulder.

An Qin twisted the hilt of her sword, easily deflecting Li Chen’s hand blade.

However, Li Chen was ultimately stronger than her, and in the next moment, his palm landed on her chest.

Only, as he struck out with his palm, it seemed as though his True Qi had been completely depleted in that moment, turning the strike into a gentle touch.
