Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Everyone’s Concerns

"Brother Lu Dao, I think we should first worry about the people from the Haotian Sect!"

Yu Qingqing glanced at Mo Buwen and bit her lip as she spoke.

Indeed, she also wanted to heal Mo Buwen quickly, fearing that if too much time passed, it might be too late to save his hand.

However, she was even more concerned that the people from the Haotian Sect would catch up to them, thus putting Lu Chen in danger!

Having just started Qi Refinement and stepped into an Immortal Sect, her previous encounters made her feel overwhelmed and completely lacking in confidence in Lu Chen.

"The Haotian Sect? How did they get involved?"

Lu Chen instinctively glanced at Li Yanran, then shifted his gaze away.

"Brother Lu, my spiritual sense is fairly strong, and I noticed you looking at me," Li Yanran said while healing Mo Buwen, "We accidentally provoked someone from the Haotian Sect, but there was only one person. I used the Wood Escape Technique to draw his attention before leading him away, and eventually, we ended up here."

"How strong is the opponent?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to Yu Zhibai!

Yu Zhibai had encountered the Haotian Sect and even became a disciple of theirs.

If the opponent came along with Yu Zhibai, wouldn’t that mean...

They would face six formidable opponents?

For a moment, Lu Chen understood Yu Qingqing’s meaning.

Originally, he had planned to search for the Spiritual Medicine he needed if the opportunity arose.

But now, it seemed impossible.

However, after asking Li Yanran, he still poured out all the Spiritual Medicines from his storage bag onto the ground and said to Yu Qingqing, "Take a look and see if there is anything suitable. Let me know if anything is missing."

His words implied that he wanted to have a proper discussion with Li Yanran.

"Young Master, I understand."

Qin Yaotiao, afraid that Lu Chen’s conversation with Li Yanran would delay the healing of Mo Buwen, recounted their earlier experience in full detail, not omitting any particulars.

After a while, Lu Chen finally asked, "So, Tang Tieming wanted to take your Wood Spiritual Bead?"

"Yes," Li Yanran nodded, "Compared to other types of Spiritual Pearls, the Wood Spiritual Bead doesn’t have significant effects. I don’t know why he was so desperate to snatch it."

"There’s only one possibility," Lu Chen mused, "he might want to curry favor with Kong Wu!"

"Kong Wu? He doesn’t have a Wood Spiritual Root, what’s the use in currying favor with him?"

Li Yanran had learned that Yu Zhibai had joined the Haotian Sect, and after hiding herself in a large tree, she knew that Kong Wu’s talent lay in his Taoist Body, not his Spirit Root.

Being someone with a singular Wood Spirit Root herself, she was very clear on the limitations of the Wood Spiritual Bead.

"There’s a benefit, for Kong Wu, the Wood Spiritual Bead might have a significant effect, because he is... an Innate Taoist Body with a spotless nature!"

At those words, Li Yanran’s body jolted, and she immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

"So... after we escaped, Tang Tieming will surely seek out Kong Wu to tell him about the presence of the Wood Spiritual Bead in the Haotian Secret Realm!"

Li Yanran initially only thought of killing Yu Zhibai, and then followed Lu Chen’s orders to protect Qin Yaotiao, without considering this angle.

After Lu Chen brought it up, she felt deeply fearful and started to regret revealing the Wood Spiritual Bead too soon!

From her perspective, the Wood Spiritual Bead was as useless as a spare rib to an ordinary cultivator.

But if used on someone with a spotless nature...

The Wood Spiritual Bead was like an elixir!

"Brother Lu, does that mean we’re being targeted by the Haotian Sect?"

Li Yanran was full of worry.

Even if they could escape from the Haotian Secret Realm.

But what about after that?

That place was still the territory of the Haotian Sect!

Unless they were able to kill all the members of the Haotian Sect within the Haotian Secret Realm!

But how could that be possible!

Li Yanran’s expression suddenly became disheartened.

She had originally hoped to collect some materials for Artifact Refining for her sect, but now she faced the prospect of never returning!

Lu Chen sensed Li Yanran’s sinking emotions and said, "Sister Li, how things will unfold remains unknown. But this isn’t necessarily a no-win situation! However, one thing is certain... as long as you do your part, Brother Lu will surely keep you safe!"

Hearing this, Li Yanran looked up, her smile bitter, "Brother Lu, forgive my bluntness, but a natural Taoist Body, especially a top-tier one like the spotless body! No matter if I have a singular Wood Spirit Root, even the most attacking potent Fire Spirit Root, or even Yu Zhibai’s Mutated Ice Spirit Root, would be insignificant before that..."
