Chapter 1423: Chapter 1443: The Adventure in the Mountain Crevice_1

Lin Chen, having covered a thousand miles and seeing no one from the Winter Thunder Sect in pursuit, breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Chasing Light Boots and Reduced Land to Inches technique, his speed was certainly faster.

The two old men who were at the Earth Immortal strength level were unable to catch up to him, proving the Reduced Land to Inches technique to still be quite useful in the Immortal Realm.

Lin Chen applied a Death Mark on himself to conceal his vitality, then found a hidden crack in a valley to rest.

He needed to heal his injuries.

Still, even though he was able to escape easily from the combined attack of two Earth Immortals, he was not unscathed. After all, the strength of an Earth Immortal could easily overwhelm a Human Immortal.

Under normal circumstances, it would only take one strike for an Early Stage Earth Immortal to kill a Late Stage Human Immortal.

Yes, the gap is that large!

The fact that Lin Chen could escape gracefully from the union of two Earth Immortals would be shocking and astonishing to anyone who heard about it.

Lin Chen didn’t feel wronged. After all, he had already made many estimations when he prepared to cultivate the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus. The current outcome is already very good.

He was only injured and got the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus, so he profited.

As for the grudge with the Winter Thunder Sect, Lin Chen didn’t mind.

They were but dogs of the Boundless Sword Sect. If he wasn’t caught and killed on the spot, there was nothing to fear. Even with their combined courage, they wouldn’t dare to trouble the White Crane Immortal Sect.

Just as he sat down, a bird call resonating through the Nine Heavens echoed from the sky.

The sound was high and domineering, carrying a terrifying aura of absolute authority.

A Demonic Beast?

Lin Chen didn’t move. No matter if the world outside was upturned, he was going to heal his injuries in hiding and wasn’t going anywhere until he was fully healed.

Just as Lin Chen was about to close his eyes again, he suddenly felt someone rapidly approaching.

Hm?

Before Lin Chen had time to react, a figure appeared in front of the crack in the mountain body, swooped in like the wind, and even before landing, a few tiny Array Banners flew out, embedding themselves at the entrance, the back, and the top of the crack.

Once the Array Formation on the Banners was activated, the entire mountain crevice was instantly sealed off.

Lin Chen still didn’t move.

He quickly realized that the Banner was merely concealing their presence. Considering the bird call from outside, he had a rough guess of what was happening.

The person who fled into the mountain crevice and hid their presence must be running from that Demonic Beast outside, right?

What a coincidence, running into the same place where I’m hiding for healing?

At this point, Lin Chen was seated in the deepest and darkest part of the crevice, his life force shielded by the Death Mark, making him appear like a lifeless stone.

The intruder was a vibrant and beautiful young woman. Her pretty Danfeng eyes gave her a quite imposing look and she had an unforgettable pair of long legs.

Her body was all legs from the chest down!

The woman was quite beautiful, but also quite ragged.

Her Lawful Robe was in tatters, barely covering her remarkable physique. It revealed large patches of her fair skin and there was quite a lot of blood on her. Clearly, she was seriously injured.

The woman, having arranged the Array Banners, let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to inspect her injuries.

Upon seeing her injuries, she frowned.

She quickly tore off her tattered robe, and the undergarment beneath it as well.

She needed to tend to her wounds and doing so with her clothes on wouldn’t work.

After all, there was no one else here.

But the woman never thought that not only is there someone here but also a man, who was "looking" at her.

Although Lin Chen knew the woman didn’t notice him and was originally considering giving her a heads-up, he didn’t expect her to just suddenly strip off her clothes.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t dare to say anything.

He figured that as long as she didn’t notice him and kept her attention outside while he stayed hidden, once her injuries were healed and the Beast outside gone, she might just leave.

It was better for him to not cause any unnecessary trouble.

Though he had no intention of looking at her, the circumstances were such, and even if he claimed that he didn’t see anything, she wouldn’t believe him. Who knew what she would do if she discovered him, maybe she would attack...

While Lin Chen didn’t know how powerful the Demonic Beast outside was, merely by hearing its roar, he could guess it was no ordinary Beast. This woman, despite her ragged state, clearly had fought the Beast and emerged in one piece, suggesting her prowess.

He probably wouldn’t be a match for her!

Better continue hiding.

The woman, with her full concentration on the approaching Demonic Beast outside, was on high alert while she took out a bottle of ointment.

The moment she unscrewed the lid, revealing the ointment to the air, the scent filled the entire mountain crevice.

She was heavily injured, even having a row of nearly parallel wounds on her back that cut all the way down to her thigh. Blood was flowing, making it quite a gruesome sight.

She stripped off the remainder of her clothes, gritted her teeth, and bore through the pain of applying the ointment, exposing her whole back to Lin Chen.

Knowing this, Lin Chen was inwardly exasperated. If he were to get caught, he’d surely be silenced forever!
