Chapter 911: Chapter 883 Ji Changfeng

In the southern region of the Eastern Province, a dense mountain forest stretched out.

Li Chen moved steadily through the forest.

To him, while this primitive mountain forest seemed mysterious, it honestly didn’t pique his interest much.

Compared to the true primitive forests of South Africa he’d ventured into before, this place was home to little more than ordinary wild beasts.

And for someone like him, what threat could mere wild beasts pose?

Even so, Li Chen had no choice but to come here—because this time, the person who had entrusted him with the task was Elder Ji.

Elder Ji of the Dragon Soul.

As Elder Ji had pointed out, Li Chen did, in fact, owe him a favor.

Back when Elder Ji drove Yu Manfang out of Linchuan, although it was for the safety of Linchuan, it was also to protect Li Chen’s family.

Even Li Chen couldn’t deny that.

Although Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao had started learning martial arts, their cultivation time was still short, and their strength was limited. Especially when it came to someone like Yu Manfang—a monstrous opponent even Li Chen himself couldn’t handle—they didn’t stand a chance.

The Seven-Colored Being’s strength was formidable, but it could only match up against Mystic-level individuals. In absolute terms of power disparity, even a special physique wouldn’t provide any solutions.

"So this is the place, huh?"

Li Chen stopped by a towering ancient tree.

Looking up from its base, the tree would require seven or eight people holding hands to encircle its trunk. Its height soared tens of meters into the sky, making "towering tree" a perfectly fitting description.

This was precisely the location Elder Ji had instructed him to come to.

Just as the fractured Li Family still had some scattered descendants, the Ji Family did, indeed, have surviving members as well.

Yet at present, Li Chen had no idea where the other members of the Li Family were. Elder Ji, however, had his ways—he’d tracked down some descendants of the Ji Family.

This particular task Elder Ji had entrusted to Li Chen was, in fact, a personal matter.

It involved helping a young member of the Ji Family.

Leaning against the ancient tree, Li Chen was resting when he suddenly heard a faint movement not far away.

His eyelids twitched, but he didn’t make any drastic reactions.

Soft footsteps approached, the other party clearly trying to be cautious as they closed in on him.

"Don’t move!" Li Chen suddenly said.

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a young man, seemingly around twenty years old, standing not far away.

The youth had a delicate and fresh-faced appearance, looking as innocent as a student.

Startled by Li Chen’s abrupt voice, the young man froze in place, not daring to move an inch.

Seeing the youth’s reaction, the corners of Li Chen’s mouth curled into a smirk.

"Upper left, two o’clock—strike."

"Whoosh—"

"Thud!"

A small gray-green snake fell to the ground, its head entirely shattered from the previous strike.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" The youth looked at Li Chen with gratitude.

Though he hadn’t initially understood Li Chen’s words, his caution kept him from moving recklessly. Now, he finally grasped their meaning.

Li Chen waved his hand with a light-hearted smile. "No big deal. By the way, you’re Ji Changfeng, right?"

"That’s right! I’m Ji Changfeng! Brother Li, did the ancestor send you to assist me?" Ji Changfeng asked excitedly.

"Ancestor?" Li Chen’s heart stirred briefly before he nodded. "Yes, I’m Li Chen, sent here by Elder Ji to help you."

He had long known that Elder Ji’s seniority might be exceptionally high, but he hadn’t expected it to be this staggering.

"Indeed, he’s the one who told me to help you." Li Chen confirmed.

"Brother Li, without even opening your eyes, you sensed I was here—and even detected the snake near me. Your abilities..." Ji Changfeng’s voice trembled with excitement.

"Well, I’m just a little stronger than you." Li Chen chuckled, shaking his head, unwilling to dwell further on this topic. "So, tell me. What do you need my help with this time?"

Seeing Li Chen decline to reveal his true strength, Ji Changfeng couldn’t help but feel a slight pang of disappointment.

But soon, his spirits lifted again. "If the ancestor found someone from your caliber, Brother Li, surely everything will go smoothly."

"Take your time. No rush. Sit down first." Li Chen patted the ground beside him, smiling warmly.

"I’m Ji Changfeng, a descendant of the Ji Family. On the surface, I’m just an ordinary college student. But secretly, I’ve been cultivating based on techniques passed down by the Ji Family," Ji Changfeng began.

Ji Changfeng sat beside Li Chen, speaking in a low voice. "At first, it felt like my cultivation was nothing special—just a way to make myself a bit stronger. But soon, things started to change."

"In my class, a new transfer student arrived recently. While this wasn’t unusual, he started pursuing my girlfriend!" Ji Changfeng clenched his fists, his tone shifting as Li Chen watched in amusement.

"Initially, fair competition is nothing to complain about. But he resorted to other methods."

"Other methods?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"He used True Qi to hypnotize Little Qian, making her develop feelings for him!" Ji Changfeng’s expression darkened.

"Oh? A Martial Artist?" Li Chen asked.

"Yes—and not just that. He’s a Mystic-ranked Martial Artist!" Ji Changfeng confirmed with a nod. "I challenged him once, but..."

Ji Changfeng trailed off, yet Li Chen understood. Ji Changfeng’s current cultivation was only at the Upper Yellow Rank. How could he possibly contend with a Mystic-level Martial Artist?

"So this time, you want me to deal with him?" Li Chen asked.

"Of course not!" Ji Changfeng clenched his fists. "I want to defeat him using my own strength!"

This time, Li Chen was genuinely puzzled. "You had Elder Ji summon me, yet you want to face him alone? Then, what exactly am I here for?"

Ji Changfeng scratched his head awkwardly. "Ah, sorry! I almost forgot to mention the real reason."

"I wanted Brother Li to accompany me to the marketplace."

"Marketplace?"

"That’s right. In this mountain range, within a valley, there’s a marketplace. They’ll soon have Barrier-Breaking Pills for sale. My strength has been stuck at the Upper Yellow Rank for quite some time now. I believe with the Barrier-Breaking Pill, I can successfully break through to the Profound Level!" Ji Changfeng stated with conviction, his fists clenched tightly.

Now, Li Chen finally understood the mission he’d been assigned.

"Barrier-Breaking Pills?" Li Chen murmured to himself thoughtfully, finding the name somewhat familiar.
