Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Mu Xiao Appears, the Dean and Li Mingru Follow in Pursuit!

"Master Divine Physician, let’s talk about this after we’ve successfully retired. That valley isn’t even mine, we need sister Mu’s agreement!"

Lu Chen still tactfully refused, after all, he was also going to leave within two years.

When the time came, to leave Master Divine Physician alone with Mu Xiao in the valley?

"Don’t worry," chuckled the Divine Physician, "Mu Xiao won’t refuse, you’ve forgotten that I know her, she knows me too! And I, I hold no grudges against her!"

Lu Chen suddenly realized but didn’t immediately agree, instead saying lightly, "Let’s go, what if we can’t save her? Besides, you’re obsessed with Physician Zhao, perhaps heading to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain would suit you better."

"If I went to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, I would definitely be discovered by the Immortal Sect’s people, after all that is Xuanji Sect’s territory..."

No sooner had he spoken than Lu Chen abruptly halted.

"Xuanji Sect? Is that the name of the sect within Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"

"Yes, didn’t you know?"

The Divine Physician stood up, instead staring at Lu Chen with a puzzled face.

"How could I possibly know? That’s an Immortal Sect, and as for me, on the surface, I’m just a Martial Artist of the Bone Refinement Realm!"

The Divine Physician slapped his forehead and grinned.

"Indeed, Xuanji Sect is one of the Immortal Sects, quite powerful at that!"

He didn’t know that Lu Chen saw his expression as clear as day, which led Lu Chen to ponder deeply if the Divine Physician had a particular idea in letting Zhao Chang be at the foot of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Was it also to get him into an Immortal Sect?

He silently etched the name Xuanji Sect into his heart.

Anyway, he was definitely going to go!

"Master Divine Physician, would you mind marking this spot? If we really resolve the situation, we’ll come back here and pick the Dragon Serpent Grass for Xiao Hei to consume!"

"Don’t worry, I’ve noted it down. Although I can’t see clearly in this Abyss, I am able to smell the scent of Spiritual Medicine."

As he spoke, a touch of pride appeared on the Divine Physician’s face.

Lu Chen nodded, saying, "Then we should also be on our way."

In fact, he had also recorded the location.

After walking for about another hour, they finally heard some faint noises.

It sounded like someone staggering, stepping cautiously on dry leaves.

But the distance was still far and the paths in the Abyss were narrow and uneven; despite Lu Chen having Pupil Skill, he couldn’t see who it was.

He could only guess from the steps that the person making them must be injured.

"It might be that girl Mu Xiao."

The Divine Physician said to Lu Chen, before hiding in a patch of thick grass, and upon seeing that Lu Chen hadn’t moved, he urged, "Aren’t you going to hide quickly?"

"Shouldn’t we welcome her?"

He was more concerned about Mu Xiao, and since he only heard one set of footsteps, it was possible that Mu Xiao had finally shaken off the headmaster and the others.

If he could avoid a battle with the headmaster, Lu Chen naturally didn’t want to take that risk.

"It’s better to be safe than sorry," scoffed the Divine Physician, "What if... it was the headmaster’s deliberate trick? Mu Xiao’s nature is rather staunch, she would rather die than submit or lead them in the wrong direction, which would actually be a loss for the headmaster and Li Mingru. Better to pretend to be thrown off, then follow Mu Xiao to the valley!"

Lu Chen suddenly saw the light and recalling Li Mingru’s proficiency in deception, he felt the Divine Physician was right!

"Xiao Hei, you hide by the Master Divine Physician, and I’ll hide here!"

As someone with experience in ambushes and sneaking attacks, Lu Chen instructed Xiao Hei to follow before he himself hid at one end of the path.

After a short while, through the gaps in the grass, Lu Chen finally saw the struggling figure of Mu Xiao!

She was disheveled, seemingly having exhausted all her energy, and her delicate face was filled with fatigue.

Lu Chen’s heart ached; just how far had she run!

This indicated that Mu Xiao was trying to lure the headmaster away from Lu Chen by leading them as far as possible.

After shaking them off, she chose to come back.

But it was unknown if she had truly lost the headmaster!

Lu Chen stayed silent, letting Mu Xiao pass by the spot where he and the Divine Physician were concealed.

Just a few breaths later, from the direction Mu Xiao came from, two light figures appeared!

Under his Pupil Skill, they turned out to be the headmaster and Li Mingru!

Both of them had grave expressions, being extremely cautious as if afraid to make any sound.

On closer inspection, Lu Chen noticed that not only did they seem to hover above the ground with their footsteps, but their bodies were also faintly wrapped in currents of Spiritual Power!

"Spiritual Power can be used in such a way?"

Lu Chen’s brow furrowed slightly as he allowed Spiritual Power to flow through his body, ready to strike at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the headmaster suddenly pulled Li Mingru to a halt!

"What’s wrong?"

Li Mingru lowered his voice and asked.

"I sense killing intent... there might be an ambush here!"

The headmaster’s alarming words surprised both the Divine Physician and Lu Chen!
