Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Collusion
After a preliminary understanding, Lin Chen knew that Wan Qiansan was a straightforward person, so when faced with Wan Qiansan saying he would repay the life-saving favor in the future, Lin Chen naturally didn’t stand on ceremony and directly stated that he would trouble Wan Qiansan in the future.
Seeing Lin Chen’s attitude, Zhang Hongying couldn’t help but purse her lips and rolled her eyes at Lin Chen. This guy was really blunt, speaking so frankly as if he took himself seriously.
However, given Wan Qiansan’s character, since he owed Lin Chen a favor, he would naturally want to repay it.
So it wasn’t Lin Chen being blunt; rather, Zhang Hongying seemed a bit pretentious.
"Haha, it’s no problem. If Brother Lin Chen needs anything in the future, just call me."
"In Yunlong City, if anyone troubles Brother Lin Chen, just mention my name. Whoever dares to provoke a friend of Wan Qiansan is against me, and I will not let them off."
Upon hearing what Lin Chen said, Wan Qiansan found Lin Chen to be straightforward as well and immediately laughed heartily.
"Good, straightforward enough. Mr. Lin likes making friends with someone like Brother Wan."
Lin Chen looked at Wan Qiansan, laughed loudly, walked up to Wan Qiansan, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Hongying couldn’t help but roll her eyes again, thinking these two guys really were birds of a feather.
Although Zhang Hongying had joined forces with Lin Chen to fight against the enemy these days, deep down she still had a lot of issues with Lin Chen. After all, it was Lin Chen who had beaten her brother severely and stripped him, forcing the Zhang Family to use Spirit Stones to redeem him.
Such humiliation, Zhang Hongying could never forget.
However, at this moment, with Lin Chen and Wan Qiansan getting along well, Zhang Hongying didn’t bring up what Lin Chen had done to the Zhang Family, otherwise Lin Chen probably wouldn’t let it go easily.
"We should find a place to recuperate first. The Secret Realm is full of dangers, and in our current state, it’s not suitable to move around."
Lin Chen looked at Wan Qiansan and said.
Including Lin Chen himself, he also sustained some injuries, so it was better to adjust his condition.
Hearing this, Wan Qiansan and the others nodded. His injuries were severe.
Zhang Hongying had just fought with the Black Armored Man and was heavily exhausted, but luckily she wasn’t injured.
Instead, Lin Chen and Wan Qiansan were the most seriously injured.
Afterwards, they found a concealed cave and began recuperating inside.
The current state of everyone was not good. If another powerful enemy appeared, the consequences would be unthinkable. So Lin Chen was not stingy and directly took out some elixirs for healing and restoring Spiritual Power to everyone.
Upon receiving the elixirs, Wan Qiansan straightforwardly swallowed them, quickly recovering his Spiritual Power.
However, when Zhang Hongying received the elixirs, she felt conflicted inside, looking at the elixirs in her hand, not knowing what attitude to take towards Lin Chen.
Yang Minghui had clearly stated that if she opposed Lin Chen, she would also be Yang Minghui’s enemy.
Therefore, if Zhang Hongying wanted to further her relationship with Yang Minghui, she couldn’t make an enemy of Lin Chen.
But if so, how could she account for her brother being beaten and the Zhang Family’s face to Lin Chen?
There was no way she could let go of all her grudges against Lin Chen.
So for a moment, Zhang Hongying was at a loss, not knowing how to choose.
...
While Lin Chen and the others were healing, far away in a valley a million miles away, a shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky in a miserable condition.
The Black Armored Man at this moment was filled with murderous intent toward Lin Chen. The Black Scaled Demon Armor on his body had almost completely shattered from an arrow shot by Lin Chen.
Ever since cultivating the Black Scaled Demon Armor, he had never been so severely injured.
Now, not only was he injured, but even the Black Scaled Demon Armor was destroyed. It was something he had cultivated to this level with countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Now to restore to his peak state, it’s unknown how many years it will take, or even if he can repair it at all.
Lin Chen caused him such a heavy cost, how could he not hate him? He secretly vowed to tear Lin Chen to pieces in order to quench the hatred in his heart.
The Black Armored Man immediately found a hidden spot in the valley and then took an elixir to begin healing.
Two days later, the man’s injuries improved somewhat. Only then did he take out a black token and injected Spiritual Power into it. Instantly, the token emitted a disturbing aura of evil.
This token was a special communication token of the Black Yan Hall. Even in this Secret Realm, it could contact the people of the Black Yan Hall outside.
It was known that ordinary communication Jade Slips would lose their function in such a Secret Realm, but the black token was unaffected.
As the Black Armored Man infused Spiritual Power into the black token, an hour later, a figure appeared in the valley.
This person was none other than Liu Yong, who had previously pursued Zhang Hongying.
Zhang Hongying could never have imagined that Liu Yong, one of the Top Ten Heroes, would have any collusion with a Black Armored Man.
It was known that the major families within Yunlong City all were on the same front as the Yunlong Heavenly Palace and Yunlong City, irreconcilable with the Black Yan Hall.
And Liu Yong’s behavior was clearly an act of rebellion.
"Are you the person my Liu Family wants me to assist?"
Liu Yong arrived at the valley according to the message, his gaze landing on the bloodied Black Armored Man, his brow slightly furrowed in doubt.
It was known that the Black Armored Man was severely injured, bloodied and in a pitiful state.
The message from the Liu Family was that this person was to annihilate the other Top Ten Heroes within Yunlong City.
However, seeing the current state, how could he be a presence capable of slaying the Top Ten Heroes?
So Liu Yong couldn’t help but doubt if he had found the wrong person.
However, the message emitted by the Black Armored Man and that communication token could not be fake.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Liu Yong’s words, the Black Armored Man’s face immediately showed discontent. With a slight snort, an immensely powerful aura of terror crushed toward Liu Yong.
As that pressure came, Liu Yong’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly mobilized his Spiritual Power and met it with a palm.
Boom——
The collision of Liu Yong’s power with the pressure emitted by the Black Armored Man instantly sent Liu Yong retreating more than ten miles, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.
