CHAPTER 1479: CHAPTER 1450: MUTE BROTHER...

Li Chen’s divine sense almost withdrew the moment he detected the group, without even touching them.

The problem now is that Li Chen has no idea where he is, but if there are people outside, perhaps it could explain some things.

For him, the most important thing right now is to figure out his current position. Since there are people outside, it indicates that he is still in the Heaven Realm and has not been swept away to some random place. As for where in the Heaven Realm he is, he remains unclear.

After some contemplation, Li Chen roughly understood the group’s intentions.

"Could it be they saw the Storm Zone dissipate and thought there might be treasures here?"

Li Chen considered this for a moment and felt it was highly possible.

He certainly didn’t regard these people as saints or good men. If they really thought he had taken some treasure, there might very well be a fierce battle.

Li Chen wasn’t afraid of a fight, but given his current situation, it was unnecessary.

Estimating the direction of the group, Li Chen left the light shield and slowly backed away.

The Storm Zone was not small, with an original diameter of at least several dozen kilometers. However, these men and women were only in one direction.

Now that the Storm Zone had shrunk, it still had a diameter of more than ten kilometers.

Li Chen proceeded in the opposite direction based on the group’s orientation.

Upon reaching the outermost edge, Li Chen held his breath and performed a long-distance instantaneous movement.

"Boom!"

Just as he stepped out of the space gate, Li Chen stumbled and fell to the ground.

This instantaneous movement spanned dozens of miles, the maximum distance he could currently teleport.

"This Power of Space is truly hard to use. Performing such an instantaneous movement nearly turned my mind into mush." Li Chen shook his head and stood up, feeling a bit dazed.

Finally, this time, Li Chen could see where he was.

It was a scorched land, yet bizarrely, the spiritual energy was inexplicably dense, seemingly even more concentrated than where he had been at Heisha Ridge.

Without the time to figure out where this was, Li Chen made a large detour to reach close to that group of men and women.

"Someone else is coming over!"

"Why hasn’t the storm dissipated yet? If what Gongsun You said is true, there must be a treasure about to appear here!"

As they saw Li Chen appear, the group of men and women didn’t pay much attention. After a cold glance, they stopped focusing on him.

Li Chen didn’t mind, as he only wanted directions and didn’t care if he was welcome or not. Shamelessly, he approached a young man in a black robe.

"Friend, what are you all doing here?" Li Chen asked curiously. Mainly because he liked wearing black too, and found the black-robed person pleasing to the eye, he spoke up.

The black-robed youth glanced at Li Chen and remained silent.

"Friend, friend?" Looking at the youth, Li Chen whispered to himself: "What a pity, so young and already a mute."

The black-robed youth nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. I just didn’t want to talk to you, okay? How did I become a mute?

Before the black-robed youth could speak, another blue-robed youth nearby spoke up first, looking at the black-robed youth with interest before smiling at Li Chen: "We’re waiting for an exotic treasure to emerge."

"Exotic treasure? What exotic treasure?" Li Chen asked with a puzzled expression, thinking his acting could definitely land him a role in a drama.

"Earlier, when I passed by here preparing for body refinement, I saw a ray of light shoot up. Initially, I paid no heed, but then noticed the Storm Zone getting smaller, so I suspected an exotic treasure was about to appear." The youth explained casually, smiling.

"So, you’re the one who discovered it first? I’m Lin Chen, may I know your name?" Li Chen asked.

The blue-robed youth nodded with a smile: "Gongsun You."

Seeing Gongsun You engage in conversation with Li Chen, the black-robed youth seemed somewhat displeased, and let out a cold snort.

Li Chen turned his head: "Mute Brother, anything to say?"

The black-robed youth’s face darkened. Did this guy really think he was mute?

Just as he was about to explain, someone shouted: "Hurry over, the Storm Zone has completely dissipated!"

With this call, everyone rushed towards the center of the dissipated Storm Zone without any hesitation.

Li Chen followed quickly to avoid drawing attention.

"This is... a Barrier?!"

"I didn’t expect there to be such a Barrier at the Storm Zone’s center! Hahaha! There must be treasures here!" someone said excitedly.

Li Chen inwardly scoffed. What nonsense Barrier? It was nothing but the protective zone created by the Five Elements Boots and Heavenly Dao Pearl to keep the storm from disturbing them.

"Bang!!"

Someone attacked it, only to find the light shield incredibly tough, impossible to penetrate.

"Hmm? How did I get inside?"

Sweeping a glance around, Li Chen discovered there were more than a dozen people, among them not a few were Heaven Following Realm powerhouses. With so many working together, how could they not break through a light shield?

Suddenly, Li Chen seemed to realize why he had been able to get inside.

Heavenly Dao Pearl!

Because he himself possessed two Nine Palaces Heavenly Beads, combined with the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror.

Perhaps that was why he could enter that light shield, in reality, the light shield was indeed an incredibly formidable defense.

"Brother Lin, why aren’t you attacking?" At this time, Gongsun You next to Li Chen asked when he saw Li Chen standing still: "Are you not interested in the treasure within the Barrier?"

Li Chen shook his head: "Of course I’m interested, but no matter how good a treasure is, one must have the capability to take it. I cultivate Space Law and have already tried; I cannot shake this light shield. Besides, even if there is really a treasure inside, I doubt my strength is sufficient to keep it."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun You couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: "Brother Lin is indeed broad-minded. To remain so calm in the face of an exotic treasure. But I’m different; even knowing I might gain nothing, I’m still unwilling to give up without trying."

Li Chen chuckled. Of course, he wouldn’t tell this guy that he had already taken everything inside and that it was now nesting in his stomach.

"Hmph! Just a cowardly weakling. If we martial artists hesitate in the face of challenges, how can we ever become powerhouses that command respect?" a cold voice chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Gongsun You let out a bitter smile and said nothing.

Li Chen didn’t pay it any mind, instead turning around with a look of surprise and addressing the black-robed youth: "Oh? Mute Brother, you can speak?"
