Chapter 1428: Chapter 1448: Why are you protecting me? _1

The two of them lay there back to back; the atmospheric tension that was so palpable previously, when they were facing each other closely and could sense each other’s breath, had finally dissipated.

"Why did you try to protect me earlier?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "No reason, it was just instinct."

Zi Yun Fairy responded with a cold snort, "I am far more formidable than you."

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s a given. Outside, I certainly wouldn’t act like this but we can’t activate our spiritual energy here. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to conceal our life energy. My body is rather tough, so not activating my spiritual energy is bound to be useful."

Zi Yun Fairy casually said, "Considering the way you recklessly tried to save people, we’ll just forget about this. But don’t you dare imagine anything else, or you’ll bear the consequences."

Lin Chenst laughed it off and didn’t take Zi Yun Fairy’s words to heart.

"Fine!"

It’s understandable if such a powerful woman wants to kill someone after experiencing such an ordeal.

Since she didn’t make a move against me, it shows that she’s reasonable.

Despite being a bit domineering and aggressive, having a woman like her is rare indeed.

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "How long do we need to hide here?"

"We’ll see after a few days. You can’t afford to be careless. If it keeps watching us, I might be able to escape, but you’ll definitely die!"

"Alright!"

Lin Chen closed his eyes, balanced his breath, and started to enter a dormant state to conserve oxygen. After all, the atmosphere in this space was limited.

Zi Yun Fairy did the same, and the two of them lay there, back to back underground, quietly and without a sound.

This went on for several days.

When it started, vibrations could still be felt coming from the outside, but they gradually ceased.

"Let’s go, let’s see what’s going on outside!"

Zi Yun Fairy and Lin Chen shattered the dirt surrounding them and flew out from underground.

Looking around, Lin Chen couldn’t help but gasp.

The destructive force of Golden Winged Roc was staggering!

In Lin Chen’s memory, his hiding place was in a valley below a giant peak surrounded by endless mountains and innumerable steep peaks. Now, not a single mountain peak was visible within sight!

All the peaks have been razed to the ground, all the towering ancient trees have been snapped, and the ground full of one after another ton of craters, as well as criss-crossing, bottomless ravines.

It was terrifying!

Fortunately, th creature that wreaked havoc for a few days without finding the people it was looking for had finally left.

Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "Fairy, what should we do now?"

Zi Yun Fairy was looking at Lin Chen. Lit by the sunlight, Lin Chen appeared increasingly heroic and unbending, with an exceptional presence.

Thinking about their experiences over these days, Zi Yun Fairy felt a strange turmoil in her heart.

"Let’s go, let’s look for Divine Splendor Tower!"

Lin Chen asked, surprised, "Are you also looking for Divine Splendor Tower?"

Zi Yun Fairy responded indifferently, "Is it strange?"

Lin Chen thought about it. That was right, the low-level cultivators had their resources, and the high-level cultivators had their different demands. The Divine Splendor Tower was known for containing everything imaginable inside. Naturally, it should be able to meet Zi Yun Fairy’s demands.

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s not strange. It’s just the Divine Splendor Tower is elusive, and it’s going to be hard to find."

Zi Yun Fairy nodded in agreement, "Continue searching. If it’s still not found, then leave."

"Okay!"

We quickly left this area that had been devastated. Then, both of us relaxed.

Lin Chen curiously asked, "There are countless monster beasts in the Blackstone Mountain Range, but before, no one had heard of a Golden Winged Roc..."

Zi Yun Fairy answered, "It moved here just a few years ago. It resides in the deepest part of the Blackstone Mountain Range where even cultivators generally do not venture. Naturally, no one knows about its existence."

"Oh!"

Zi Yun Fairy asked, "What do you seek at the Divine Splendor Tower?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Divine Soul Separation technique."

Lin Chen didn’t dare mention the control technique of the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror. Qi had instructed him to keep it a secret when she left, and try to use it as little as possible, in order to avoid attracting attention and people trying to steal and possess it.

This is a powerful Magical Treasure capable of killing eighteen major powers in a row. Lin Chen didn’t dare to recklessly spread this news.

Don’t mention major powers, even a true immortal could easily kill him.

Zi Yun Fairy frowned, "What are you trying to do with this technique?"

Lin Chen answered, "I have a family member whose body has been taken over, but his soul hasn’t perished yet. I want to separate them..."

Zi Yun Fairy stated, "The Divine Soul Separation Technique can indeed do that. The Divine Splendor Tower contains the entire universe, it should have it. But I’ve heard that the Soul Separation Sect in Dragon Spirit Continent is proficient in soul related techniques, they should also know the Divine Soul Separation Technique."

Lin Chenresponded with a bitter laugh, "Yes, I’ve asked about this matter before, and they told me exactly what you said. However, in the Dragon Spirit Continent where the Dragon and Human Clans are slaughtering each other, the entire continent is almost ruined. With my current strength, if I rashly go to the Dragon Spirit Continent, not to mention finding the Divine Soul Separation Technique, I’d have a hard time even surviving."

Zi Yun Fairy acknowledged and nodded, "That’s true. The fighting over there is indeed intense. It’s been going on for tens of thousands of years. With your strength as a human immortal, going there would indeed be dangerous."

Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "That’s why I came here to try my luck and see if I could run into the Divine Splendor Tower. What about you, Fairy? What do you seek here, if you don’t mind sharing?"
