Chapter 979: Chapter 999: How About I Lend You the Water-Fire Mirror, and You Help Her?_1

Where Lin Chen’s eyes fell, the ground, the distant mountain peaks, were all black rocks, without seeing any green plants or any trace of life.

Gazing afar, it seemed boundless.

Lin Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Rukong, only to be startled.

Jiang Rukong was covered in blood and appeared miserable.

Lin Chen knew that this was the result of being torn by the power of the void. If he had left earlier, it might not have been so terrible. However, in order to prevent "her" from being detected by the immortal’s primordial spirit avatar, he had endured until his body could no longer hold on and had plummeted out.

"Elder Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Rukong’s weak breath responded, "We should be far enough away now. We should be fine. Let’s find a place to rest."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen lifted Jiang Rukong up, found a sheltered spot, and leaned him against the wall to sit down.

Lin Chen took out the Spiritual Spring and sprinkled it on Jiang Rukong’s wounds. Soon, the wounds stopped bleeding.

Lin Chen fed Jiang Rukong several healing elixirs, and Jiang Rukong’s breathing immediately stabilized before he directly fell into a deep slumber.

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the beautiful hand resting on his shoulder, feeling a bit strange for a moment.

He paid such a heavy price to explore the Valley of Death, but he never expected this arm of the immortal to stay with him.

Was he considered a hostage?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked softly, "Fairy Lady, can you understand me?"

The delicate index finger raised and gently hooked.

That should be considered a nod, right?

Lin Chen continued to ask, "Why did you choose to approach me?"

The delicate index finger pointed at the Spatial Ring on Lin Chen’s right hand.

Lin Chen speculated, "Is it related to the blood-colored mist I released, which corroded and damaged the Barrier?"

The delicate index finger hooked again.

Lin Chen immediately became nervous, "I ran so far, and you followed me here. Now you’ve brought me here as well. What do you want me to do?"

The arm flew up, hovering in front of Lin Chen, pointing at his head, then his body, his left arm, and finally his legs.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, his expression strange.

He understood the meaning of the other party.

"You want me to use the collected blood mist to help you find the rest of your sealed body parts, break the prohibition, and let them escape, right?"

The finger hooked again.

Lin Chen was speechless.

"I’m just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm. You are all part of the battle between immortals. Whether it’s you or someone else, I could be killed with just a single finger. How can I be of any help?"

The hand didn’t bother with Lin Chen any further and instead flew back to Lin Chen’s shoulder, resting on it again, giving a sense of camaraderie.

However, Lin Chen felt immense pressure. Although she was just a hand, that hand could easily kill him with just a single slap.

From her posture, it was clear that she had decided to stick with him. Or perhaps, she wasn’t worried that he might refuse because his life was in her hands.

If she wanted him to die, he would have to die.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to comply with her orders.

Since her body was also quite exhausted from traversing the Void Road and enduring the tearing force of the void, Lin Chen didn’t care anymore and began to recover peacefully by taking healing elixirs.

Once Jiang Rukong recovered and talked with him, perhaps he could get more information.

After waiting for two days, Jiang Rukong finally woke up.

Although the scars on Jiang Rukong’s body had begun to heal, he was still very weak.

"Elder Jiang, can you tell me about your relationship with her?"

Jiang Rukong glanced at the arm on Lin Chen’s shoulder and shook his head, "I can’t remember a lot of things, I only vaguely remember that she saved my life, granted me longevity, and then I don’t remember what happened after that... "

Lin Chen was very disappointed, having originally hoped to get some clues from Jiang Rukong.

Even if he had to risk his life, he should at least know what was going on.

"She wants me to help her find her other sealed body parts and figure out how to unseal them. But with my current strength, I’m no match for the immortal’s primordial spirit avatar, let alone powerful Cultivators or Demonic Beasts... "

Jiang Rukong touched his temple as if deep in thought. After a while, he said, "I vaguely remember that she is a good person. If you help her wholeheartedly, she will surely treat you well."

A good person?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "You are so powerful, at least a Half Immortal. Since she has helped you before, why don’t you help her? I can lend you the Water and Fire Mirror containing the blood mist, and you can return it to me when you’re done. Wouldn’t that satisfy both parties?"

Jiang Rukong shook his head, "It’s not possible. I’m sick and can’t be awake for long periods."

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment. That was considered a reason?

Before Lin Chen could think of a response, Jiang Rukong changed the subject, "I remember you learned the Reducing Land to Inches technique, right?"

Lin Chen nodded and took out the Iron Plate, "I learned it from this, but it feels much worse compared to yours. Can you tell me
