Chapter 480: Chapter 480: The Fiery Aura at the Bottom of the Cave

Zhu Qingfeng, as the leader, had a storage bag full of goods, which seemed to be the gains from entering the Haotian Secret Realm, so it all went to him.

And since they were Sword Cultivators, they had gathered more metallic materials.

"It’s a shame I’m still not proficient in Artifact Refining. Strangely enough, I ended up learning the ’Hateful Heaven Pill Technique’ unexpectedly."

Lu Chen did see several Spiritual Medicines among the items, which reminded him of his newfound skills, so he stuffed the medicines into the storage bag as well.

"Indeed, obtaining resources through killing and looting is faster."

He had no other thoughts, merely sighing with this realization.

Not having learned from Qingyun Sect the reason they were after him, Lu Chen knew he could only put this issue aside for now.

Once he left the Haotian Secret Realm, he would have to deal with the situation at the Casting Gear Pavilion; where would he find the time to bother with Qingyun Sect’s affairs?

He dusted off his clothes, took Zhu Qingfeng’s flying sword into his hand, and naturally hid the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

Although he had some gains, he was still somewhat worried about Qin Yaotiao. It was not easy to find her, but they had to part again.

Thinking about possibly seeing her soon, Lu Chen suddenly felt nervous, and for a moment, he experienced the anxiety of gain and loss.

Following the cave pathway out, there were four Qingyun Sect disciples dead inside, but Lu Chen only found one storage bag.

It seemed the others had been incinerated by his Spiritual Fire, cremating their remains along with their storage bags.

Lu Chen couldn’t help muttering, "Thankfully, everything was placed in Zhu Qingfeng’s storage bag, otherwise it would have been my loss too."

After speaking, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

But just as he was walking, a series of footsteps sounded from outside, along with uneven breathing, obviously someone was injured!

"Strange, why would someone run into the cave?"

Lu Chen quickly pressed his body against the cave wall. An ordinary person, not well-versed in Pupil Skills, would definitely fail to notice him in such darkness.

Lu Chen focused and calmed himself, and also used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, stealthily peering outside the cave.

The cave was somewhat curved, obstructing his sight.

But as the footsteps drew closer, he heard a familiar voice!

It was Mo Buwen’s!

However, it sounded like the pointless moaning of someone injured.

"They’re injured, so they came back?"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but brace himself; Qin Yaotiao was also in a dire situation when he decided to intervene.

Now that Mo Buwen was injured, judging by his voice, it seemed serious!

Then, who brought him back?

If even Mo Buwen was injured, it seemed unlikely that Yu Qingqing had the power to lead him to safety, right?

And Lu Chen was more worried about Li Yanran!

Li Yanran, with a Wood Spirit Root and the Wood Spiritual Bead as her lifebound magic weapon, could use the Vitality Force within her Wood Spirit Power to save lives, without mentioning anything else!

Mo Buwen’s injuries were serious, but not life-threatening.

But judging by his breath, he seemed incapable of moving on his own.

In theory, Li Yanran could completely restore him.

So why hadn’t she?

With such thoughts, Lu Chen didn’t dare to move rashly, afraid that the situation was beyond his conjecture.

But just as Li Yanran, struggling to support Qin Yaotiao, appeared in his line of sight along with Yu Qingqing supporting Mo Buwen, Lu Chen was taken aback.

Qin Yaotiao’s Spiritual Power was slightly chaotic.

But compared to Li Yanran, her situation was infinitely better.

Li Yanran had used up a great deal of Spiritual Power escaping back here from a distance.

Mo Buwen’s hands hung limply, his eyes blankly staring at the ground.

In contrast, aside from being emotionally upset, Yu Qingqing seemed normal.

"What exactly happened?"

Lu Chen furrowed his brows, unsure if the four were forced into the cave or if there was another reason.

He decided to wait for the four to reach the base of the cave before acting.

But just then, Li Yanran, her body trembling, exclaimed in her delicate voice, "It seems there’s a trace of fire energy here, wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Yu Qingqing quickly stopped, and Mo Buwen also slowly raised his head.

Although the two were only in the Qi Refinement Realm, they were disciples of Heavenly Pill Pavilion and, upon careful sensing, indeed felt the trace of fire energy!
