Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Put Down the Poison Pill and Save Li Yanran!

The sudden arrival of Lu Chen startled the three female cultivators immensely!

Yu Zhibai, in her bid to escape, had nearly exhausted all her strength, and the resulting display of power surprised them greatly.

Their cultivation techniques mainly focused on attacking the soul, and now, harmed by Yu Zhibai’s Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, their souls were naturally the ones injured!

It wasn’t that they were afraid of Lu Chen, but rather, if they were to fight Lu Chen again, no one knew what the outcome would be!

"Ladies, do not panic!"

Lu Chen said cheerfully as he simultaneously stepped back three times to maintain a distance from them.

"Who are you!"

The eldest sister demanded coldly, her hand resting on her ancient zither magic artifact.

"I am from an ordinary second-rate sect, not worth mentioning. I was merely attracted by the commotion of the fight over here, and the ladies should not misunderstand."

Having said that, he took out the bottle of medicine he had prepared, gently placed it at his feet, and then stepped back two more times, cupping his hands and saying, "The three fairies are injured. Fortunately, I happen to have some medicine. I just wanted to form a good relationship with the three fairies, now I will take my leave."

Without waiting for the female cultivators to respond, Lu Chen immediately turned and left, as he wouldn’t strike them. If the three decided to fight with the desperation of sinking the boat, Lu Chen might not end up in a good place.

Yu Zhibai had injured them severely by pushing herself to the limit, and there was no need for him to start a conflict with them.

If the situation could be resolved with the medicine, why not do so?

He didn’t know Gui Zhuo’s purpose in giving him this medicine but had specifically instructed not to consume it himself, which indicated he had other intentions.

Perhaps...

It was meant for Yu Zhibai and Li Yanran to consume?

Yu Zhibai had already left, but Li Yanran was still hiding in the tree. Should he take her with him?

Lu Chen hesitated for only a moment before quickly making a decision. Perhaps now was the best time to win over Li Yanran.

Admittedly, he had Yu Qingqing and Mo Buwen by his side, but their powers were too weak.

It seemed that due to the conflict with the Spirit Sound Sect this time, he was forced to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to draw the other cultivators here.

Fortunately, the outcome was not bad; he could solve the Spirit Sound Sect in one fell swoop!

Lu Chen appeared to casually walk up to that tree, pretending to suddenly discover something, and slapped his palm towards the trunk!

"What sneaky rat dares to hide here, surely not thinking of ambushing the fairy sisters of the Spirit Sound Sect?"

This palm strike seemed fierce, but as he struck the tree, Lu Chen had already converted all of his Five Elements Spiritual Power into Wood Spirit Power. It would not only cause no harm to Li Yanran, but it could also opportunistically replenish her vitality!

Li Yanran’s injuries were light; she could only say she was affected by the spirit sound and slightly hurt by Yu Zhibai’s Thousand-Mile Ice Seal. However, while hiding here, how could she dare use her Spiritual Power to heal?

Lu Chen’s action was like sending charcoal in snowy weather!

She was very astute and recognized Lu Chen’s voice early on, but was puzzled as to why Lu Chen would appear at this time, and what surprised her more was that Lu Chen could actually wield such pure Wood Spirit Power that she could absorb every bit of it without any delay?

While she was distracted, Lu Chen had already broken the trunk of the tree, revealing Li Yanran’s body.

"Junior Sister Li, aren’t you going to put on a show?"

Lu Chen shouted in a low voice, then reached out with another palm strike, and Li Yanran finally reacted, using the wood-escape technique to flee into another tree!

"Hmph, trying to run?"

Lu Chen shouted loudly, striking another tree.

As the tree broke, Li Yanran ran again!

But during the chase, Lu Chen’s pure Wood Spirit Power continually healed her wounds!

Until they, one after the other, chased out of the woods and realized no one was following them, Li Yanran finally stopped and, looking at Lu Chen’s disguised face, said expressionlessly, "Senior Brother Lu, have you been hiding here all along?"

Since Lu Chen’s appearance, she had been suspicious.

And during the pretense of fleeing, she gradually confirmed this thought.

Had it not been for Lu Chen constantly helping her heal, Li Yanran would have definitely made the first move to control Lu Chen!

After all, Lu Chen had concealed his power!

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and then replied, "Junior Sister Li, I have been hiding here, but... is there a problem with that?"

Li Yanran’s expression turned cold as she said, "Of course there is a problem. You... why are you helping me?"

Lu Chen smiled casually and said, "You are my junior sister, why wouldn’t I help?"

Without waiting for Li Yanran to speak, Lu Chen then put on a serious face and questioned her, "Could it be that Junior Sister Li also thinks I’m like Yu Zhibai, a traitor who wants to use the Casting Gear Pavilion as a stepping stone?"
