Chapter 1563: Chapter 1563: Realm of Danger, Revealing Their Trump Cards
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, you’re joking. I just think that today you look particularly pretty, so I couldn’t help but look a few more times."
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, don’t you agree?"
Fearing a beating, Cheng Liang forced himself to speak up.
"Senior Brother Cheng Liang is right, Senior Sister Zi Ling is indeed very beautiful today."
Lin Chen echoed Cheng Liang, quickly speaking up.
Otherwise, if they angered Zi Ling, they might both get beaten today.
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Lin Chen and Cheng Liang’s words, Zi Ling’s face immediately turned red, and she smiled shyly.
Seeing Zi Ling act so coy, Lin Chen and Cheng Liang were both stunned. The violent person in their memory actually had such a charming side.
They even wondered if they were affected by the Illusion Demon Bat’s soundwave attack, entering an illusionary realm, as the Zi Ling before them seemed unfamiliar.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, were you just hit in the head by the Illusion Demon Bat’s soundwave attack?"
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and asked softly, as the coquettish Zi Ling before him really wasn’t the Zi Ling he and Cheng Liang knew.
"Lin Chen, are you asking for a beating?"
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and spoke angrily.
"Hehe, don’t mind me, Senior Sister Zi Ling, I was just joking."
Lin Chen quickly spoke with a smile, secretly thinking it was better not to make such jokes in the future, or else if Zi Ling beat him up, who could he complain to?
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, feeling quite upset. She initially wanted to teach Lin Chen a lesson, but considering he risked such danger to rescue her and Cheng Liang, it seemed unreasonable to beat him up. So, she decided to let it go.
Then, Zi Ling turned her gaze to Cheng Liang, contemplating whether to beat him to vent her anger. However, thinking about how she dragged Cheng Liang into this dangerous place, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She decided to put it off, planning to settle scores with Cheng Liang back at Yellow Hall later.
Cheng Liang felt a chill down his spine, shuddering without knowing he was already on Zi Ling’s radar.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, let’s leave this place first. Although we’ve temporarily escaped those Illusion Demon Bats, it’s not absolutely safe here."
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and Cheng Liang and spoke softly.
Even though Lin Chen had seen through the formation eye of this passage and opened the secret door to save Zi Ling and Cheng Liang, they were only a wall away from those Illusion Demon Bats, and Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze were also nearby.
Hearing this, Zi Ling and Cheng Liang exchanged a glance and nodded. They naturally trusted Lin Chen’s decision, following his plan.
Lin Chen activated the Abyssal Eye, still able to see Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze fighting with the Illusion Demon Bats. It had to be said, these two were Heavenly Prides of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom and the Dark Dynasty; even half-step to Creation Realm Illusion Demon Bats were no match for a single strike from them, and even those who broke through to the Creation Realm could barely last ten moves before dying at their hands.
These two could walk straight through the cave; no matter how many Illusion Demon Bats there were, they couldn’t hurt them at all.
"If that’s the case, Junior Brother Lin Chen, you lead the way, and we’ll leave this place first."
Having experienced the previous danger, Zi Ling dared not act rashly now, immediately telling Lin Chen to lead the way.
Thus, Lin Chen led Zi Ling and Cheng Liang out of the passage, getting farther and farther from Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze.
Until Lin Chen brought them to a relatively safe passage, he finally sighed in relief.
"It’s temporarily safe here, Senior Sister Zi Ling, Senior Brother Cheng Liang, you both rest and recover while I stand guard."
After bringing them to a safe passage, Lin Chen spoke softly to the two, and also secretly sighed in relief.
The sense of crisis Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze brought to Lin Chen was too strong. If those two targeted them, none of the three would have a good outcome.
Although Zi Ling and Cheng Liang weren’t injured while dealing with the Illusion Demon Bats, the fight with the bats drained their Spiritual Power and Soul Power significantly. Since neither of them was at peak condition, Lin Chen couldn’t take them deeper into the cave, as they knew not what further dangers lay ahead.
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, the two immediately began recuperating. Since Lin Chen said it was temporarily safe here, they had nothing to worry about, and with Lin Chen as a protector, they had full confidence in him.
Without hesitation, Lin Chen handed them two precious elixirs.
Now that Lin Chen had set up a Teleportation Array on Yang Flame Island connected to Mysterious Heaven Continent, he could travel between the two worlds at will, so even if he exhausted all his elixirs, he could teleport back to Mysterious Heaven Continent to get more from Zhao Rushi.
While Zi Ling and Cheng Liang were recuperating, Lin Chen activated the Abyssal Eye to check on everyone’s movements in the other passages.
Over by Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun, there was no danger for now. As for Yun Kaige, Liu Yong, Tan Yingping, and others, though pursued by the Illusion Demon Bats with some injuries, they all had life-saving magic treasures on them, allowing them to turn danger into safety, with no casualties.
Seeing this scene with the Abyssal Eye, Lin Chen was silently thankful he hadn’t attacked these people earlier, or it wouldn’t have been easy to defeat them.
If Lin Chen had attacked back then, he wouldn’t have been able to escape safely, possibly even getting killed by them in a joint effort.
After all, everyone in the Secret Realm knew Lin Chen had countless treasures and a large number of Flame Explosion Talismans.
In Tan Yingping’s cousin Tan Yu’s hands, there was a rope-type magic treasure. If caught, even with a Qiankun Escape Talisman, he might not escape.
So Lin Chen was very cautious with them, as falling into their hands would mean enduring torment, getting tortured to death.
For Lin Chen, Tan Yu posed a greater threat than Liu Yong.
As for Tan Yingping, though powerful, Lin Chen honestly didn’t regard him as much of a concern.
But Tan Yu was different. Lin Chen was more wary of Tan Yu’s rope magic treasure than even Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze.
