The bright moonlight spilled into the forest, as Lin Chen softly told Yu Feifei her story.

"So you came to the Medicine Sect to comprehend the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor in search of the last verse." Yu Feifei suddenly realized.

"Zhao Xiaowen is truly fortunate." Yu Feifei said in a deep voice.

"Fortunate? It's because of me that she became like that. I swore I would never let my woman take risks for me again." Lin Chen said seriously.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Yu Feifei's face flushed.

Could it be that in Lin Chen's heart, I am also considered his woman?

Lin Chen didn't notice Yu Feifei's girlish thoughts, and with a smile, said: "You should rest now, tomorrow we have to continue on our journey."

Yu Feifei nodded. Because she was so exhausted today, she soon fell asleep.

Lin Chen took out a piece of clothing from the Tianyan space and covered Yu Feifei with it. However, he did not sleep, but jumped out of the cave and sat in meditation on a boulder, keeping watch.

At dawn, Yu Feifei woke from her sleep, only to find Lin Chen missing.

She walked out of the cave and saw Lin Chen sitting on a boulder, covered in dewdrops.

Seeing Yu Feifei, Lin Chen opened his eyes and smiled: "You're awake?"

Yu Feifei nodded, surprised that despite the severe depletion of her Inner Strength yesterday, she had completely recovered thanks to the healing light of Lin Chen's life force.

"Did you stay up here all night without sleeping?" Yu Feifei looked at Lin Chen with some distress.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "It's nothing. It's very quiet here, perfect for cultivation."

"Cultivation!" Yu Feifei shook her head helplessly. Of course, she knew Lin Chen stayed awake outside all night on guard because he was worried something might happen.

"You... why don't you go in and rest for a while, and I'll replace you?" Yu Feifei suggested.

Lin Chen shook his head, suddenly his gaze sharpened, looking at the forest not far where birds suddenly took flight.

"It seems we've been discovered. You should go first." Lin Chen said with steely determination.

"I'll stay to help you!" Yu Feifei shook her head.

"No, you're not fully healed yet. Staying will only be a burden and might drag me down." Lin Chen firmly refused.

"You!" Although Lin Chen's words were a bit harsh, they were the truth.

Even though Yu Feifei's body had recovered, the lost qi still needed replenishment bit by bit, and she currently had no combat strength.

Though reluctant in her heart, she bit her lip and nodded forcefully.

At this time, from not far away came the sound of something slicing through the wind. Black shadows swiftly rushed over.

"Go!" Lin Chen shouted to Yu Feifei.

Yu Feifei nodded: "Lin Chen, you must come back alive."

With that, she took one last look at his resolute back and quickly darted into the forest.

If she had combat strength, even if it meant death, she would die alongside Lin Chen.

But now, just as Lin Chen said, staying would only be a burden, so leaving was the best choice.

Soon, around the forest appeared more than a dozen figures, and a chilling intent to kill enveloped the area.

"Lin Chen, you're really as slippery as a rat. You made us search so hard!"

The Ghost King's face was grim as his icy gaze locked tightly onto Lin Chen, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

This time he had orchestrated such a huge operation, yet allowed the opponent to escape, causing him great shame. Thus, he spent the night searching and had finally found Lin Chen.

Looking at the Ghost King, who was filled with anger, Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Your dog's nose is pretty sharp, to find me in such a hidden place."

Glancing at the people the Ghost King brought, Lin Chen's gaze turned serious, clearly realizing the opponent had brought their elites, and these few were all in the True God Realm.

The Ghost King sneered coldly: "Boy, you got lucky last time and escaped. This time, I won't give you any chance to escape."

"Hand over the Tianyuan crystal shard obediently, and I might make your death quick." The Ghost King said with a cold smile.

"Is this what you want?" Lin Chen took out the Tianyuan crystal shard and chuckled softly.

A dazzling light shone, and the Ghost King and his subordinates' eyes lit up with greed, focused entirely on Lin Chen's hand.

"Smart move, hand over the shard, and I'll spare your life." The Ghost King's voice became a bit urgent as he looked at the shard.

Lin Chen gave a sneer, opening his mouth and swallowing the shard.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" The Ghost King roared in anger as he saw Lin Chen swallow the shard.

The shard melted the moment it entered Lin Chen's mouth and merged into the Five Element Disk.

Seeing Lin Chen swallow the Tianyuan shard, the Ghost King became utterly enraged.

"Kill him, tear him limb from limb." The Ghost King roared to his men behind him.

"Kill!"

Over a dozen experts behind the Ghost King charged forward towards Lin Chen.

With over a dozen True God Realm experts taking action together, the terrifying momentum filled the entire forest with murderous intent.

Lin Chen's gaze slightly narrowed as the ancient Tianyuan sword appeared in his hand, and this time the sword's body underwent another change.

Upon the sword, lightning shadows flickered, and a layer of faint white fire flickered intermittently.

"Windbreaker!"

Lin Chen's wrist trembled as he released a dozen sword shadows, heading straight for those True God Realm experts.

"Kill!"

The experts each drew their weapons, striking towards the sword shadows.

However, when their attacks collided with the sword shadows, an eerie Spiritual Fire suddenly erupted.

The faces of the ten experts changed dramatically simultaneously, horror reflected in their eyes.

"Ocean Flip!"

The Tianyuan ancient sword in Lin Chen's hand flashed.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The sword lights flashed, and the experts offered no resistance, being sliced down like cutting melons, easily killed by Lin Chen.

Watching over a dozen True God Realm experts fall to the ground, the Ghost King's heart bled.

These were the wealth accumulated over decades, yet in today's battle, they were all directly killed by Lin Chen.

Based on Lin Chen's strength alone, it was impossible to kill over a dozen True God Realm experts.

But the Blaze of Heartfire was too domineering, attacking the souls of the dozen in a short period, providing Lin Chen with the chance to eliminate them swiftly.

"Boy, it seems I underestimated you. After killing so many of my people, today I'll make you wish you were dead." The Ghost King's face twisted into a snarl as he took a step forward. A powerful aura surged from his body.

Feeling the pressure emanating from the Ghost King, Lin Chen felt as though a mountain descended upon him.

"Boy, your True Fire might be evil, but it is ineffective against me. Today, I'll skin you alive and draw out your tendons to avenge my fallen brothers." Killing intent flashed in the Ghost King's eyes; raging energy emanated as he extended his hand, summoning a ghost-head spear into his palm.

"Die!"

The ghost-head spear in the Ghost King's hand quivered, and the tip of the spear blazed through space, stabbing directly at Lin Chen.

The spear lights tore the air asunder almost immediately, enclosing Lin Chen in an inescapable dome of spear lights.
