Chapter 817: Chapter 789: Going Alone

Li Chen was sitting alone in the distance, cross-legged in meditation.

Of course, to everyone else, it appeared as though he was cultivating.

"Boss, he..."

"Stop. Let boss have some quiet time alone; after all, with what happened, none of us feel good. And Wangyang left by himself, we... forget it."

"I believe in the boss!" Ye Tu suddenly spoke up: "I believe he will definitely bring back Wangyang. We... are brothers after all!"

Li Chen wasn’t actually cultivating; he simply wanted some quiet time.

Unlike what others thought, his quiet time wasn’t filled with long sighs or lamentations, but rather he began to sort through the entire matter.

Starting with Blotto, Li Chen actually felt something was off about Ning Wangyang.

But exactly what was off, Li Chen couldn’t articulate at the moment.

If he had to say, it would be the aura.

There were some changes in Ning Wangyang’s aura that even Li Chen found hard to detect.

In fact, Li Chen had been contemplating this issue for quite some time.

Why was it that he barely made contact with Mothman and got poisoned, whereas Ning Wangyang fought so intensely with Mothman and yet wasn’t poisoned at all?

To explain it as being extremely cautious was absolutely unthinkable.

Because back then, Ning Wangyang’s strength was even inferior to his; under those circumstances, killing Mothman without any contact would have been impossible for Ning Wangyang.

So, it means that Ning Wangyang was poisoned too.

But why, after getting poisoned, did he show no symptoms at all?

Even Li Chen knew that after returning, Ning Wangyang’s cultivation didn’t slow down; it improved by leaps and bounds, surpassing everyone else.

"Curse!"

Suddenly, this word popped into Li Chen’s mind.

He vaguely remembered that right before Mothman died, it seemed to be muttering something, and a black aura appeared on it.

However, eventually, Mothman was shot and killed by Catherine, so it seemed the curse hadn’t completed.

But now, Li Chen started to suspect otherwise.

"Could it be that the curse has already been completed? But what exactly is that curse?" Li Chen started to develop a headache.

"It seems that only by finding Wangyang later can we clarify what really happened."

In silence, Li Chen slowly stood up, his eyes looking somewhat complex.

"However, now I wonder whether Wangyang will be a friend or foe when we meet again."

"Boss..." Seeing Li Chen walking over, Zu Gu couldn’t help but call out.

"I’m fine." Li Chen shook his head.

William’s face looked somewhat gloomy: "That matter about Wangyang..."

"Enough!" Suddenly, Catherine interrupted sharply: "Let’s talk about Wangyang’s issue later. I believe, as long as he is still Ning Wangyang, he’ll remain our brother!"

Li Chen smiled: "I believe so too."

He turned back to look at the Nether Army: "You guys continue to cultivate and hunt in this area. Going deeper is truly dangerous. The White Crocodile was probably the overlord of this region, and now that it is dead, you should be able to handle the Primordial Beasts around here."

"Then you, boss..." From Li Chen’s words, Ye Tu sensed something and quickly asked.

Li Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go in and take a look."

"In my heart, there are many questions. Someone once told me that in this Relic, many of my doubts could be resolved, so, I want to find an answer," Li Chen whispered.

"Take care of yourselves, and when the time comes, you don’t need to wait for me, just go ahead and leave," Li Chen said.

"But, boss, you alone..." Ye Tu was still worried.

"Quentin is willing to be your shield, my lord!" Quentin stepped forward and said in a muffled voice.

Li Chen smiled and said, "I know your intentions, but this time, really no need for your help; I alone am enough."

"Cultivate well and strive to become stronger, I hope that when I see you next time, you will have become even more powerful!" Li Chen said with a smile.

Catherine seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

"Alright, it’s time for me to go." Saying this, Li Chen waved to everyone and, without any further hesitation, stepped deep into the Relic.

Watching Li Chen’s departing figure, the Nether Army had very complex expressions in their eyes.

In Li Chen’s hand, he held a piece of paper.

This piece of paper was left behind by An Qin when she departed.

Originally, Li Chen thought he could gradually forget with An Qin’s departure, but unexpectedly, as time passed since An Qin’s departure, he did not forget but remembered even more deeply.

He couldn’t forget the girl who, during their first meeting, pretended to be a man and fought with him, only to be inadvertently exposed by him.

Nor could he forget the stubborn girl who used her life to shield him when he was about to be slain by the Black General.

Even so, Li Chen did not know why she chose to help him.

But Li Chen knew, he owed her.

"An Qin, I will definitely rescue you, just wait for me!" Li Chen silently put away the paper and walked toward the seemingly endless depths of the Relic.

Boundless wind and snow.

On the Snow Mountain, a pure land akin to Paradise, a place scarcely reached by outsiders.

In a small house near the summit amidst the wind and snow, a girl quietly sat by the window.

In her hands, she gently caressed a Longsword that radiated cold.

This Longsword had a name that matched its appearance.

Frost.

Although An Qin had been stripped of her Saint Heir status, Frost had already recognized its master. No matter what the elders of Holy Mountain did, they were helpless in this situation.

Unless An Qin died, no one else could possibly make Frost recognize a new master. Even if Frost was in their hands, they could not unleash its true power.

"An Qin, it’s time to eat."

Suddenly, an old voice came from outside.

Hearing this voice, An Qin seemed to come to her senses, walked out of the house, and looked at the old man in front of her, her lips curling into a rare smile.

"Grandpa Murong, you’re here."

"Hmm," the old man smiled gently and nodded, carrying the food in his hands and walking into the room together with An Qin.

"Grandpa Murong, now that my identity has been exposed, what’s the plan going forward?" After entering the room, An Qin locked the door immediately and then asked.

"Plan?" Grandpa Murong shook his head: "That moment is nearly upon us. Our best plan now is to adapt to changes by staying constant."

On hearing this, An Qin’s expression changed, then she nodded and murmured, "Is it about to start?"

"Li Chen, I wonder if you’re ready."
