Chapter 898: Chapter 870: The Strong Momentum of Elder Ji

Li Chen was injured, and the injuries were quite severe.

Except for the previous battle against Andy, who wielded the Red Moon, Li Chen had never been this heavily injured.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t return to the villa or the base.

Because, he wasn’t certain if an Earth-level expert’s methods could trace the residual aura and find him again.

So now, there was only one place that served as the best site for Li Chen to heal.

Cliff! Cold Pool!

Li Chen immediately headed toward the Cold Pool’s location.

As for Yu Manfang, Li Chen could no longer afford to worry about him. Since Yu Manfang’s life was no longer in danger, lingering there would risk his own safety.

Li Chen was no saint; he wouldn’t sacrifice his own life for an unrelated person.

Moreover, he was sure that Yu Manfang had also suffered serious injuries.

Coupled with his earlier suspicions, if Yu Manfang’s total True Qi had truly diminished, there was no way he’d dare remain in that location and continue draining himself.

Therefore, now Li Chen needed to properly plan his own course of action.

"Sss—"

Struggling to walk into the cave by the Cold Pool, Li Chen removed his clothes, exposing his body, which was now covered in scars and wounds.

Despite his body’s incredible resilience, his fight against someone like Yu Manfang, an expert of this rank, had left him severely injured.

Standing beside the Cold Pool, he felt its bone-chilling aura and quietly stepped into the water, laying flat on its surface.

"Urghhh!!"

In that instant, the pain from his injuries and the internal turmoil he’d been suppressing erupted uncontrollably.

Li Chen’s agonized shout lasted only a few seconds before abruptly stopping.

Every human body has its limits, and when those limits are exceeded, the body will automatically shut down to protect the brain from collapse, entering a state of dormancy.

Li Chen lost consciousness.

Floating on the Cold Pool’s surface, he passed out completely.

It could be said that at this moment, Li Chen was at his most vulnerable; even a child could easily end his life.

At this moment, the Red Moon fastened to Li Chen’s body began to tremble.

However, this time, the Red Moon didn’t automatically fly away.

Instead, it trembled and began to absorb the energy of the Cold Pool.

A long process of interaction and mutual bond had taken place between Li Chen and the Red Moon, and finally, the Red Moon acknowledged Li Chen as its master.

Weapons with spirituality like this, once they truly recognize their master, won’t easily betray them again.

Although Li Chen was unconscious, the Red Moon began to actively transfer energy back to him, assisting in repairing his severely damaged body.

The Cold Pool’s immense energy was filtered through the Red Moon, and Li Chen’s body began to unknowingly heal at an accelerated rate.

The wounds on his body closed rapidly, while dead skin peeled off.

During this process, the silver fish in the Cold Pool instinctively swam over, devouring the dead skin that fell off Li Chen’s body.

This method was quite similar to the modern "fish therapy."

Only, all of this occurred without Li Chen being aware of it.

...

"Cough, cough!"

Yu Manfang slowly climbed up from the ground, coughing violently. He had never imagined that one day, he would be pushed to such a miserable state.

Especially now, as an Earth-level expert, being forced into such a corner by someone at merely a Profound Level.

The blood stains on him were undeniable evidence that he had also suffered significant injuries.

"That brat... He might be the most terrifying enemy I’ve ever faced in my entire life." Yu Manfang’s face turned grim. "He absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

Yu Manfang understood clearly: even at the Profound Level, Li Chen could display such immense combat power. If he truly advanced to the Earth Level, the consequences would be unimaginably disastrous.

"Huh?" At this moment, Yu Manfang noticed a group of ordinary-looking individuals, dressed in black combat uniforms, not far from him.

These people held identical firearms aimed directly at him.

"Damn ants!"

Yu Manfang was about to stand up when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Stop!"

Yu Manfang turned his head to see a woman in what appeared to be ordinary business attire walking toward him.

Oddly, although this woman emitted no strong True Qi aura, Yu Manfang still felt a sense of threat from her presence.

"Mr. Yu Manfang, correct?" The woman looked at Yu Manfang, seemingly unfazed by the hostile glare he gave her, and began to speak. "Hello, I’m Zhao Xiuxiu, one of the current Governors of Huaxia Dragon Soul."

"Dragon Soul?!" Upon hearing this name, Yu Manfang’s eyes flickered. Evidently, he was familiar with the organization.

Moreover, he knew that this organization was actually...

"Mr. Yu Manfang, we deeply respect your prowess. However, as for some of your previous actions, we at Dragon Soul find them unacceptable." Zhao Xiuxiu gave a polite bow as she spoke.

"Did you come here just to lecture me?" Yu Manfang’s expression cooled as he looked at Zhao Xiuxiu and asked.

"Of course not." Zhao Xiuxiu shook her head. "Regarding your recent actions, Elder Ji from Dragon Soul would like to say a few words to you personally."

"Old Ji?" Yu Manfang’s pupils suddenly shrank. "Could it be... He’s here as well?"

Yu Manfang’s fingers, hidden behind his back, involuntarily twitched.

"Of course not." Zhao Xiuxiu shook her head. "Dragon Soul has many matters that require Elder Ji’s attention, so he’s quite busy."

"Then what did you mean earlier...?"

"Oh, here’s the thing." Zhao Xiuxiu said, taking a laptop from someone nearby. "Perhaps you aren’t aware, but with today’s technology, we can communicate face-to-face without being physically present."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiuxiu opened the laptop. On the screen, an elderly face appeared.

The face belonged to... the Dragon Soul Pavilion Elder!

"Elder Ji..." Upon seeing the face, even Yu Manfang’s expression became respectful, as if a junior was facing an elder.

"Little Yu, your Yu Family has quite a reputable standing as well. But why must you cause trouble in the outside world? This really puts me in a difficult position. I remember carrying you in my arms when you were young; it’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed, and now you too have gray hair." Elder Ji shook his head, his tone tinged with melancholy.

"Elder Ji, I..." Yu Manfang began.

"Enough." Elder Ji cut him off before he could finish. "Go back, and don’t show up in Linchuan again. I’ll pretend this incident didn’t happen."

"But that Li Chen—"

"I said... leave Linchuan. Are you deaf?" Old Ji’s tone grew cold for the first time. "You better remember this: the outside world does not belong to you! If I hear about this again..."

"I will annihilate your Yu Family!!"
