Chapter 1190: Chapter 1162: Black and White Impermanence!
Beilang Mountain.
This is the second time Li Chen has come to this place. Although modern facilities have developed rapidly, it must be said that most of the undeveloped areas still maintain their most primitive appearance.
It’s not that people can’t develop them, but even if they do, they might not make much money.
Who would want to pursue a business that doesn’t make a profit?
Therefore, these primitively preserved ecological areas have been retained. At most, there are only a few scattered small villages nearby.
Beilang Mountain is such a place.
The last time Li Chen came here, he simply parked his car by the roadside.
In this place where there’s neither village in the front nor shop behind, besides parking the car to one side randomly, there were no other options.
This time, however, Li Chen’s mode of travel was even more extravagant.
“Alright, this is far enough. Lower the altitude a bit and you can leave. I’m afraid something might happen later.” Li Chen said to the pilot sitting behind him while seated at the edge of the helicopter.
“Understood!”
The Nether Army warrior piloting the helicopter followed Li Chen’s instructions, gradually lowering the helicopter’s altitude.
When they were still several dozen meters above the ground, Li Chen didn’t wait any longer and leaped directly from the helicopter.
An altitude of several dozen meters might not sound like much, but it would be enough to kill an ordinary person many times over.
Li Chen’s body rapidly descended until, at a certain point, he spread out his True Qi, turning the straight descent into a slanted glide.
“Bang!”
He landed on a tree branch, causing an unpleasant “crack” sound.
Before the branch broke, Li Chen leaped again, landing steadily on the ground.
Upon arriving at Beilang Mountain, without a word, Li Chen immediately released his True Qi to search the surrounding area.
Although he hadn’t spent much time with his grandfathers, Li Chen had memorized their auras. Just sensing a little bit would trigger an immediate response.
“Over there!” After a long while, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly opened wide as he turned his gaze southeast, his figure disappearing from the spot in a flash.
Choosing to travel by helicopter, one reason was to save time, and the other was to conserve his internal True Qi.
Otherwise, using True Qi for travel would probably be even faster than a helicopter.
Li Chen had a vague feeling that something must be waiting for him here, possibly a great battle. So he was extremely cautious with his use of True Qi.
But now, upon sensing the auras of two of his grandfathers, he could no longer hold back, fully unleashing his power, rushing at maximum speed in the direction of the sensed auras.
“Here…”
When Li Chen arrived at the source of the aura, what he saw was devastation.
From the traces at the scene, it was evident this used to be a dense forest. However, for some unknown reason, all the trees within a hundred meters had suddenly disappeared, leaving a vast open area.
Moreover, from the barely visible broken tree roots on the ground, it was clear these traces were left not long ago.
“Third Grandpa… Fourth Grandpa…”
It was from these traces that Li Chen sensed the auras of his Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa.
Clearly, the people of Zi Zhao were not lying. They did indeed meet Qin Lunhui and Li Xinglun here, and it is very likely they had indeed engaged in combat here.
“Third Grandpa! Fourth Grandpa!” Seeing the traces around him, Li Chen grew even more anxious, shouting loudly toward the surroundings.
This shout was sent out using Li Chen’s True Qi.
In an instant, Li Chen’s voice resounded throughout most of the forest, startling the birds in the trees to take off.
However, after waiting for a long time, Li Chen still received no response.
Helplessly, Li Chen began to search the area once more.
Soon after, Li Chen’s eyes turned red.
“Third Grandpa’s medicine basket!”
Seeing the somewhat damaged bamboo basket in front of him, Li Chen’s eyes began to fill with a blood-red hue.
“And the Turtle Shell that Fourth Grandpa never parts with!”
Upon seeing the other item, the blood-red shade in Li Chen’s eyes intensified. These were things he had seen beside his grandfathers since he was a child.
Third Grandpa always carried a medicine basket due to his alchemy practice.
And Fourth Grandpa’s Turtle Shell was never off his person.
But now, here were these two items, yet his grandfathers were nowhere to be found. Even with the best state of mind, Li Chen couldn’t help but panic at this moment.
“Please! Please don’t let anything happen!!” Li Chen began to pray internally.
Clutching the medicine basket and holding the Turtle Shell, Li Chen’s expression became extremely grim.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded not far ahead of Li Chen.
“Well, who would have thought, after dealing with two old codgers, a little brat would pop out.”
“Looks like this kid is the Li family’s bastard, huh? Interesting, to have cultivated to Union Level already. Seems like it’s best to eradicate the Li family seeds early, or they’ll become a threat sooner or later.”
Li Chen’s forehead veins throbbed; his heart was already incredibly irritable. Upon hearing these voices, his eyes gleamed, a deep killing intent flashed in them as he looked forward.
In the distant forest, two figures stood there at some point, scrutinizing him with interested glances.
Their clothes were black and white, resembling the legendary Black and White Impermanence.
Even eerier, in their hands were weapons rumored to be very similar to those of Black and White Impermanence.
The man in black held a gigantic scythe longer than his height, while the man in white wielded a pure white flag.
“Who are you?” Although Li Chen’s mind was almost consumed by brutal emotions, he hadn’t yet lost his sanity. He could sense the strength of the two before him and did not act rashly.
“Impressive, you recognized the strength of the two of us.” The man in black said, somewhat surprised: “I thought you’d charge in and start fighting.”
“Never underestimate him.” The man in white said softly with a laugh: “After all, rumors say he’s that man’s son. Don’t underestimate those with the surname Li, or you might end up overturned.”
“Overturned?” The man in black sneered: “Find a ditch capable of overturning the ship? I just think this kid’s strength is decent, that’s all.”
“Well, it’s more than decent. Since we’ve encountered him, let’s conveniently take him out as a favor to solve a problem for the boss.”
“Kid, remember! My name is Chu Songlan.” The man in black pointed at himself.
Then pointed at the man in white beside him: “He is called He Baigang. People used to call us Black and White Impermanence. Remember this, and tell the King of Hell when you get down there that we’re the ones who sent you!”
