Chapter 736: Chapter 708 Forget River Mountain

"You..." Hearing Yao Chou’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback.

"This matter has nothing to do with you..." Li Chen began to say.

"Of course, it does!" Before Li Chen could finish, Yao Chou spoke up decisively, "I’m not stupid. The person who took your friend away is very likely the same person who injured Bing Yu. The city is only so big, how could so many top fighters suddenly emerge?"

"Since he hurt Bing Yu, how could it possibly have nothing to do with me?" Yao Chou’s face displayed a sudden chilly murderous intent.

Seeing Yao Chou’s expression, Jiang Bingyu silently lowered her head, and for a moment, she found herself at a loss for words.

She was aware of Yao Chou’s feelings for her, but they had grown up together as good friends and brothers. To suddenly change to a different kind of relationship was something she couldn’t accept just yet.

"Well then... okay," Li Chen pondered for a moment and then agreed with Yao Chou.

He didn’t know how strong the opponent was, but judging from Jiang Bingyu’s description, the other party was definitely a top fighter. With just two palm strikes, Jiang Bingyu was seriously injured to this extent, and even Li Chen didn’t dare claim he could achieve that.

After all, Yao Chou was a Mystic Rank Expert. Having him along would greatly bolster Li Chen’s confidence.

"Bing Yu, you should stay here and recover from your injuries. Brother Li and I will make a trip and be back shortly," Yao Chou said to Jiang Bingyu as he and Li Chen arrived at the doorway. Then, turning their heads, they gave her a slight smile.

Seeing the smile on Yao Chou’s face, Jiang Bingyu was startled, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

"Then, I wish you a swift journey there and back," Jiang Bingyu said with a nod.

"I will have someone send news. If anything happens, I will have someone notify you immediately," Li Chen told Jiang Bingyu.

"Good."

Li Chen and Yao Chou nodded, exchanged a glance, and then left the villa.

Forget River Mountain was a peak situated outside of Linchuan City. In fact, Li Chen was quite familiar with the place, as it was located opposite the cliff where he practiced his martial arts.

However, Li Chen seldom visited that side of the mountain.

After leaving the villa with Yao Chou, Li Chen immediately drove at top speed towards Forget River Mountain.

An Qin was his friend, and regardless of whether there was any other relationship between them, merely because she was his friend and had saved him before, Li Chen couldn’t stand idly by and watch her being taken away by the people from Holy Mountain.

When she first appeared, An Qin was dressed as a man. Although Li Chen didn’t know why the people from Holy Mountain wanted to take An Qin, he could guess that whatever the Holy Mountain people wanted from taking An Qin back, it definitely wasn’t anything good.

And such a situation was something Li Chen would not allow to happen.

"Whoosh—" The vehicle crazily weaved through the traffic, and fortunately, the villa wasn’t too close to the city center, so it wasn’t long before they left the urban area, racing toward Forget River Mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of Forget River Mountain, Li Chen finally stopped the car to the side.

Turning his head, he realized that Yao Chou’s complexion had turned quite ugly.

"Are you carsick?" Seeing Yao Chou’s complexion, Li Chen asked rather surprised.

"I’m okay in other people’s cars, but in yours, I truly get carsick!" Yao Chou squeezed out these words with difficulty.

Hearing Yao Chou’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Because he was anxious about An Qin, he indeed drove a bit too fast and failed to notice Yao Chou’s reaction.

However, fortunately, Yao Chou was a Mystic Rank Expert, so it wasn’t long before he adjusted himself.

"Let’s go."

With a somewhat somber look toward the mountaintop, Li Chen spoke to Yao Chou at his side.

"Alright!"

Having said that, the two of them began to make their way up to the mountaintop step by step.

Since it wasn’t a holiday and it wasn’t the season for tourism and hiking, Forget River Mountain was very quiet.

Even on their way up, Li Chen and Yao Chou didn’t see a single person, almost as if this were just an ordinary desolate mountain.

But both of them understood that perhaps on the summit of this desolate mountain, a great battle awaited them, so neither of them dared to relax in the slightest.

However, upon reaching the mountaintop, Li Chen’s gaze swept around, and his expression suddenly turned even darker.

There was indeed someone at the summit, but only one person. At this moment, this man was standing at the edge of a cliff, his back to them, looking out towards some unknown place.

"Who are you?" When Li Chen saw the man’s back, he felt an extremely dense sense of threat emanating from him. Clearly, this man was indeed a strong figure, and not just an ordinary one at that.

Given that Li Chen’s current ability had already broken through the Profound Level, the strength required to give him such an intense sense of threat was surely not ordinary.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the man seemed to come to and slowly turned his head, revealing a face that seemed somewhat ’contradictory.’

"Who I am isn’t important; what’s important is, are you Li Chen?" The man said with a light chuckle, looking at Li Chen.

"I am Li Chen!" Li Chen frowned and asked, "Where is An Qin?"

"An Qin?" The man nodded upon hearing Li Chen’s words. "So that’s her name? But I remember, when we were on Holy Mountain, our Saint Heir was called An Ze."

"Saint Heir?!" Li Chen’s face changed. An Qin had never mentioned this to him. Even Li Chen couldn’t imagine that the Saint Heir of the Holy Mountain would turn out to be An Qin.

"Where is she?!" Li Chen demanded vehemently. "Didn’t you want me to come here? I’m here now, why aren’t you letting her go?"

The man, looking at Li Chen, just shook his head gently: "Let her go, I don’t have that authority. An Ze is the Holy Mountain’s Saint Heir, but now, he has suddenly become a woman, and has some unclear relationship with someone from the outside. The ones who can decide her fate are only the elders of Holy Mountain. Right now, she should already be on her way back to Holy Mountain, I suppose?"

Li Chen’s expression grew darker: "So you’re saying, this was a trap you set up?"

"It’s not really a trap," the man shook his head and chuckled lightly. "It’s just a strategy, but fortunately, you still took the bait."

Li Chen, with a dark face, turned to leave the place. He knew that now was not the time to entangle with this man; what was most important was to rescue An Qin first.

"Hold on! If you come as you please and leave as you wish, wouldn’t that make me lose face?" The man suddenly chuckled lightly.

"You’re that person’s son, so as a member of Holy Mountain, I cannot let you return alive."

As the man spoke, he gave Li Chen a stiff smile: "I’m honored to be your Funeral Service Man."
