Chapter 490: Chapter 490

"If only I had taken them directly out of the cave by flight!"

Lu Chen muttered but knew that regret was futile at this point; the situation was as it was, so he pressed ahead with the original plan to lure them away.

Lu Chen pretended not to see them and continued to control his sword towards the direction ahead.

He wasn’t using his fastest speed, so naturally, they caught up with him quite easily.

When they were about a li away, Lu Chen turned around as if he had just realized they were there.

He feigned shock, like a thief caught in the act, and pulled out a magic artifact from Yu Zhibai’s storage bag, hurling it towards the four pursuers and then frantically pumped spiritual power into his flying sword.

His speed surged suddenly.

And the magic artifact, under Lu Chen’s control, exploded with a bang.

"Brother Kong, that must be Sister Li Yanran’s senior brother!"

At his side, a cultivator used a spell to block the turbulence caused by the self-destruction of the magic artifact and then spoke to Kong Wu.

"Brother Kong, this kid is quite crafty, no wonder Yu Zhibai was duped by him, causing brother Tang to die! He even disguised himself as a Sword Cultivator!"

"Brother Kong, how about us three make the first move while you provide support from behind?"

The three of them each made their own suggestions, but Kong Wu’s face remained indifferent.

He didn’t trust Yu Zhibai.

Without having seen what the other person looked like, perhaps...

It could be Yu Zhibai deliberately leading him here?

With his guard up, Kong Wu was the type to trust no one; he would not believe anyone easily!

"Fine, you three go ahead and check it out!"

Kong Wu slightly nodded and said, "I’ll keep watch from the side, in case there’s another sneak attack."

"Sure, Brother Kong, they’re just cultivators raised by a third-rate sect like Casting Gear Pavilion; now that we’ve encountered them, can they really stir any trouble?"

The three were overjoyed to receive Kong Wu’s permission, each employing their methods to the fullest to control their magic artifacts under their feet!

Kong Wu followed unhurriedly behind them and only took a casual glance when passing over a low mountain.

However, he saw nothing unusual and withdrew his gaze.

"Didn’t get a clear look at that person, could it be a disguise by Yu Zhibai, or is it an accomplice of Yu Zhibai’s? And that so-called Li Yanran... does she even exist?"

Kong Wu had met Li Yanran before, but hadn’t paid too much attention at that time.

She was just a disciple from a third-rate sect.

Could there really be such treasures as the Wood Spiritual Bead?

Kong Wu now dared not be completely certain, fearing that he, too, might be exploited due to greed.

Once suspicion arose, everything could potentially be dangerous.

That was the nature of Kong Wu; he needed to have complete control over everything before he would take action.

Watching the three chase after Lu Chen, Kong Wu appeared to be relaxed, but he had already circulated spiritual power rapidly inside his body as a precaution against any accidents.

Meanwhile.

The group inside the cave also felt the fluctuations of spiritual power outside.

"Fairy Qin, what should we do?"

Li Yanran had asked Mo Buwen and Qing Qing to return to the cave while she herself stood beside Qin Yaotiao.

"Wait."

Qin Yaotiao replied with just this one word.

"Wait for Senior Brother Lu to come back? But what if... they catch up to us?"

Li Yanran was somewhat worried; after all, once outside the cave with the trees, she could fully utilize her strength.

"We wait for the young master to return, otherwise we’ll wait here,"

Qin Yaotiao turned around, saw the worried look on Li Yanran’s face, laughed lightly, and said, "Fairy Li, the young master will be fine."

Li Yanran sighed internally. She could see Qin Yaotiao’s naivety and her unconditional trust in Lu Chen.

She also realized that she herself wasn’t very familiar with Lu Chen!

If they managed to return to Casting Gear Pavilion safely,

she would definitely investigate with Danyang Zi to find out who Lu Chen really was!

But obviously, within the Haotian Secret Realm, both she and Qin Yaotiao had to rely on Lu Chen!

"By the way, Fairy Qin, did Senior Brother Lu give you the decoy wooden puppet earlier?"

Li Yanran remembered this and thought she might as well teach Qin Yaotiao how to use the decoy wooden puppet while they were idle.

Even if Lu Chen harbored malice, at least this way, she could gain his favor and trust.

If Lu Chen truly had no ill intentions towards Casting Gear Pavilion, that would be best but even if he did, she could at least create a sliver of chance for herself...

"Yes, he gave it to me,"

Qin Yaotiao had no particular thoughts about Li Yanran and took out the decoy wooden puppet.

"Fairy Qin, let me teach you how to use this decoy wooden puppet then!"
