Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Heading North to Find Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, "I’ve never even heard of the Peach Blossom Fairy, let alone know how to remove the imprint of her Peach Blossom Fairy Skill. That Nian Ciyun seems to be very calculating. According to what you said, I’m afraid she might find me again!"

However, Lu Chen wasn’t afraid of Nian Ciyun.

Being in the Haotian Secret Realm, his goal had become to survive, especially now that he was surrounded by four formidable foes.

How could he possibly guard against thieves at all times?

"Brother Lu, don’t panic. Let your sister think this through carefully," said Ci Yun.

Li Yanran was just as anxious for Lu Chen as he was for himself, but she knew that the current situation required Lu Chen to stay focused and not be distracted by others.

"This peach belongs to wood, and I have a Wood Spiritual Root. Perhaps if I think hard enough, I might be able to break the Peach Blossom Imprint!" she said.

Qin Yaotiao also spoke up, "Yes, young master, please don’t worry. If you become anxious, we will be even more at a loss as to what to do!"

Lu Chen glanced over with a sense of helplessness. Yaotiao spoke sensibly; the two women had placed all their hope in him.

But upon this reflection, he thought of something else, "What about Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing?"

"Brother Lu, I actually wanted to tell you about this too, but I never found the right opportunity," Li Yanran hurriedly said, "Earlier, when Sister Yaotiao and I went to look for you, we told them to stay put and not to act rashly until we returned. However, when we brought you back, they were nowhere to be found! While Sister Yaotiao was healing your wounds, I searched around and didn’t find any signs of struggle, so I guessed that they must have left, fearing that they would drag us down."

"These two..."

Lu Chen was at a loss for words, and given his understanding of the two, Li Yanran’s guess was probably right.

"Since there’s nothing pressing at the moment, why not go look for them?" he suggested.

If Lu Chen had not previously made promises, and if he had not encountered them, he would only want to stay put at the moment, waiting not only for the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and his Taoist Body to fully integrate, but also for Nian Ciyun to come to him personally!

But now...

A promise made to others must be kept!

That was Lu Chen’s principle!

"Alright, Brother Lu, I suspect that they might have headed north," said Li Yanran, inexplicably excited, yet also moved anew by Lu Chen’s display of loyalty and integrity.

There was no need to say much about Qin Yaotiao. Wherever Lu Chen went, she would follow!

The trio did not choose to fly with artifact control but instead quickened their pace and headed north.

At the same time.

Inside a subterranean cave.

Nian Ciyun stood vigil over the weakened Ao Yu.

"Brother Ao, what else might you need? I can go and look for it for you!" she offered.

Ao Yu had overexerted his Mysterious Ice Dao Body, and recovery was not facile at the moment.

Apart from needing the corresponding ice-attributed Spirit Pills and divine medicines, he could only rely on his own Taoist Body and wait.

Nevertheless, Ao Yu himself possessed life-saving capabilities and had Spirit Pills for restoring his Taoist vitality. However, he wouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary.

In case Nian Ciyun harbored ill intentions, that pill would be his last resort.

"Fairy Nian, you have truly suffered on my behalf," Ao Yu said gratefully. In this strange place, he knew that it was equally important to maintain good relations with Nian Ciyun.

"What are you saying, Brother Ao? Such polite words—I don’t like them!" Nian Ciyun retorted with feigned anger, even altering her way of addressing him as part of her pretense.

After the battle with Lu Chen that nearly cost her life, she realized that she couldn’t walk through the Haotian Secret Realm alone.

Moreover, Ao Yu had demonstrated extraordinary strength before.

Ao Yu chuckled and said, "To recover, I need to seek ice-attributed Spiritual Medicine. You’ve recognized my Mysterious Ice Dao Body, right? Ordinary Spiritual Medicine will be of little use; only ice-attributed ones will do. Observing this Haotian Secret Realm, it seems the further north we go, the colder it becomes, so perhaps there’s a chance to find something there. The journey is long, though, and without guarantee of safety. After all, we have incited conflict with Chu Zhongtian and Li Mo, and if we encounter them, a deadly battle is inevitable."

With a playful laugh, Nian Ciyun responded, "Brother Ao, Chu Zhong Tian’s Shadowless Sword and Li Mo’s Li Fire Curse will not easily harm me, and I will surely protect you fully! If heading north is feasible, I am willing to accompany you there!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look outside the cave, a hint of intrigue flashing across her brow.

The Peach Blossom Imprint made her aware that Lu Chen, too, was heading north!

If an opportunity arose...

Securing the Earth Fire artifact would undoubtedly mean a greater chance if she took Ao Yu with her!
