Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Hiding Place in the Abyss

Hearing these words, Lu Chen was taken aback and quickly retreated a few steps backward.

However, he realized this woman was weak and couldn’t attack him, not to mention she had blocked the man earlier to save him!

Such a person, even if she hated Heavenly Book Academy, must have her reasons!

"What, are you scared?"

Seeing Lu Chen’s reaction, the woman let out a charming laugh.

"Scared? You can’t kill me now anyway."

Lu Chen was completely composed and even spread his hands in a shrug.

The woman chuckled, "Actually, that was my previous thought. Of course, it still exists now. But time tends to erase some hatreds. Even if I’ve entered the Soul Refinement Realm, I won’t kill indiscriminately. I’ll only kill a few, like those who have become teachers at Heavenly Book Academy now!"

"You..."

Lu Chen was startled and said, "The ones who’ve become teachers are in the Soul Refinement Realm, right?"

He didn’t ask who the woman wanted to kill, as he feared hearing names like Li Mingru or the Heavenly Sage.

"So what if it’s the Soul Refinement Realm?"

The woman smiled in disdain and said, "As long as they don’t step into the Qi Refinement Realm, their strength will always remain in the Soul Refinement Realm. Once I also reach the Soul Refinement Realm, naturally I’ll have a chance to strike!"

Lu Chen nodded, in agreement with the woman’s words, and then added, "But you, you’re seriously injured now."

"My leg," the woman’s expression darkened momentarily, "you’re called Chen Lu, right? It seems you have a good relationship with the prince of Qin and his entourage?"

"You’re thinking of getting their help to treat your injuries?"

Though he said this, Lu Chen thought back to Zhao Chang in Yuzhou City.

The Heavenly Sage surely had superior medical skills, but clearly, the woman was unlikely to be admitted to Heavenly Book Academy.

"The Lin Family does have all sorts of precious medicines for injuries, but unfortunately, they do not know medical arts, and no one can heal me. Relatively speaking, if I had medicine from the Lin Family, my leg could recover faster. Otherwise, even if it does recover, my abilities will be affected, and breaking through the Soul Refinement Realm would be out of the question."

Lu Chen fell silent, remembering that the woman had not only saved him but had also guarded him for an entire night. He then said, "I can try to get some medicine for your injuries from the Lin Family, but as you know, I’m from Heavenly Book Academy, so I can’t help with other things."

"I know, I never force others to do what’s against their will."

The woman smiled and said, "So, what are your plans next?"

"I obviously can’t abandon you. I came to Tianyuan for a purpose, but I can’t just leave you behind, so..."

"It’s alright," the woman interrupted Lu Chen, "I have a place to hide in Tianyuan. You can take me back, and I have some medicine that can help me recover a bit. Eventually, I’ll be able to protect myself. Once you’ve taken care of your affairs, if you can obtain the medicine from the Lin Family, just bring it to me!"

"That would be excellent!"

Lu Chen stepped forward and hoisted the woman onto his back. "Pardon me!"

"It’s nothing!"

The woman was not coy; with only Lu Chen present, it wasn’t like he could magically conjure a stretcher for one.

"Just direct me."

"Keep following this road, and don’t take the wrong path."

After entering Tianyuan, the darkness that suddenly enveloped his vision made Lu Chen understand why the woman had specifically reminded him.

From the outside, Tianyuan still seemed to have some light.

But once inside Tianyuan, the sudden darkness made Lu Chen a bit uncomfortable and nearly caused him to miss a step.

"I told you to be careful!"

The woman, too, broke out in a cold sweat—if they had fallen, it would have been a tumbling journey to the bottom.

She had always lived in Tianyuan, and no one knew it better than she did.

"There won’t be another misstep."

Lu Chen paused for a moment on the spot, waiting for his pupils to adjust to the light before he continued down steadily.

The woman was reassured, and the two of them chatted as they walked.

After a full hour, Lu Chen learned the woman’s identity as well as the relationship between her and the man.

He also found out why she had fought with the two martial artists from the Xu Family!

"Sister Mu, this place of yours is rather nice."

The woman’s surname was Mu, with a single name Xiao. Lu Chen became much more familiar with her and called her sister.

Passing through a narrow crevice between mountains, they emerged into a vast open space; Lu Chen had a map, yet he had never found such a place before and couldn’t help but express his admiration.

"Of course it’s nice," Mu Xiao laughed, "Otherwise, how could I live in Tianyuan for so long? Just by scattering some powder near the entrance crevice, no beasts would enter. And with the darkness here, ordinary martial artists wouldn’t discover it either."

Mu Xiao was still smiling when she saw Lu Chen suddenly veer off toward a small wooden cabin.

"Chen Lu, you..."

Even she couldn’t see the cabin, and there had been no guidance, but Lu Chen could see it?

For a moment, Mu Xiao was baffled.

And these hesitant words made Lu Chen also startle. His pupils were one of his trump cards, and their importance was actually far greater than the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method and the Heavenly Inquiry Spear tactics!

Indeed, Mu Xiao at that moment was trustworthy, but Lu Chen couldn’t help but search for a suitable excuse!

As he racked his brain for how to explain himself, Mu Xiao suddenly laughed, "Chen Lu, you’re really cautious, aren’t you!"
