Chapter 87: Chapter 87: So It Was Just Qin Zhantian and the Others

Lu Chen quickly glanced over and discovered that the person was already near, but...

The leader of the group, he actually knew him!

Qin Zhantian!

Why had he come?

Moreover, following behind Qin Zhantian were the other nine who had previously bet on his victory over Wu Chiren.

There were ten people in total, all at Bone Refinement Realm, but not only were they not his match, with their mentality, they wouldn’t take action against him either!

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his body paused briefly as he set down the woman, then he picked up the two Xu Family martial artists and threw them directly into the Lower Heavenly Abyss!

No sooner had he finished than he heard the exclamation of Qin Zhantian!

"Chen Lu... Brother!"

Perhaps feeling that calling him by his name was inappropriate, Qin Zhantian added two words to show his respect for him.

The nine youths behind him echoed in unison, "Chen Lu, Brother!"

At this time, Lu Chen was brimming with spiritual power, and aside from the wound at his chest causing him slight trouble, he faced no significant hindrance. He smiled slightly and asked, "How come you are here?"

Qin Zhantian hurried forward and, seeing the headless corpse and the unconscious female martial artist on the ground, a flicker of fear crossed his eyes.

When he reached Lu Chen, Qin Zhantian finally said, "We ran out of Yuan Stones, and upon hearing that Yu Qingqing planned to purchase demon pills, we thought we’d come here to hunt some demonic beasts... We didn’t expect..."

"Didn’t expect to run into me here, right?"

Lu Chen let out a light laugh, squatting down to search the body.

Qin Zhantian said, "Brother Chen Lu, are you injured?"

"Mmm, I didn’t want to draw attention, so I set out overnight and didn’t have time to prepare medicine for the wound. Who knew I would encounter a powerful enemy and get slightly injured."

"We’ve brought some, Little Lin, bring your golden sore medicine quickly!"

Qin Zhantian immediately turned his head and called out, as a youth quickly came forward with a bottle of medicine.

Lu Chen didn’t stand on ceremony, taking it over and saying, "How many Yuan Stones is this? When we return to the academy, I’ll pay you."

"No need, Brother Chen, if you need it, just take it!"

Qin Zhantian patted Little Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This kid’s family sells medicine. The medicine, well, it’s not worth much!"

Lu Chen was speechless, then nodded slightly. While applying medicine to his chest, he asked, "Are you short on Yuan Stones?"

"Short? How could we not be," Qin Zhantian replied with a wry smile. "There’s only about half a year left until the restrictions of the Lower Heavenly Abyss weaken. We lost all our Yuan Stones to you and couldn’t prepare the necessary items. We also heard that many martial artists won’t come to the Abyss, waiting for half a year later, so we thought of walking around the periphery!"

So that was it.

Lu Chen smiled and advised, "Then you shouldn’t venture too deep."

Qin Zhantian replied, "We won’t, we won’t. We’re only at Bone Refinement Realm, so, of course, we wouldn’t venture deep. But Brother Lu, did you... encounter somebody trying to take advantage?"

"Something like that," Lu Chen glanced at the headless man’s body, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there another path to the Lower Heavenly Abyss here? It would be better for you to go that way. I’m not sure if this martial artist had any companions! If they come, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you!"

In truth, Lu Chen was afraid that the identities of the two Xu Family martial artists below would be discovered.

Though it was not certain they would recognize them,

after all, these young men all had a certain fondness for Xu Qianqian, so better safe than sorry!

"I see," Qin Zhantian reasoned that if the mighty Lu Chen could be injured, then they would undoubtedly face death. He nodded and said, "There is another way around; we’ll take that path. Brother Lu, shall we go first?"

Qin Zhantian wasn’t too foolish. Although he hadn’t guessed Lu Chen’s real intentions, he understood that Lu Chen was hinting them to leave.

Could it be related to the woman?

Although the woman was unconscious, the rise and fall of her chest indicated she was alive.

In addition...

Her elegant figure and the beauty that even a bloody face couldn’t hide made Qin Zhantian and the other youths think that Lu Chen was playing the part of a hero saving a damsel in distress!

They naturally did not want to spoil his good deed!

Before leaving, out of curiosity, Qin Zhantian asked, "By the way, Brother Lu, what realm was this martial artist?"

Lu Chen was startled, then laughed, "Visceral Refinement Realm!"

Hiss...

The expressions of the youths changed instantly!

No wonder Lu Chen got injured!

"Brother Chen, why don’t you walk with us? We’ll build a stretcher and carry this woman with us?"

Lu Chen’s eyebrows rose slightly, and he said with a light laugh, "She’s also at Visceral Refinement Realm."

The youths’ expressions froze.

After Qin Zhantian and the others left, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and spoke, letting Lu Chen know that she had been awake for quite some time.

"Lin Family’s medicine is not bad. I didn’t expect that the one to save me would be a student from Heavenly Book Academy!"

Lu Chen frowned, "It seems you have an issue with Heavenly Book Academy?"

The woman smiled sweetly, "I once swore that once I step into the Soul Refinement Realm, I would storm into Heavenly Book Academy!"
