Chapter 1166 Going back on one's word
When Lu Chen came to the first cliff, his heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.
This was because this was the meeting point he had agreed upon with Liyue, Yunxi and Yan Feiyu.
However, at this moment, there was no one around, only the black cloud sea was flowing slowly.
"Oh no, did something happen to them?"
Lu Chen thought anxiously.
Then, Lu Chen looked around, trying to find useful clues.
At this moment, he accidentally saw a few clear lines of handwriting engraved on the stone wall beside him:
"Lu Chen, we can't stand the extreme cold here, so we've left. Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you outside the cave."
After seeing these words, Lu Chen felt relieved.
So he no longer hesitated, and immediately his figure flashed, his body turned into a stream of light, and he quickly left along the cave he came from.
However, when Lu Chen approached the exit, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura.
There was a repressive force in the air, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling his throat.
Lu Chen slowed down vigilantly, approached the cave entrance carefully, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
When he finally arrived at the entrance of the cave, the scene before him suddenly made his eyes freeze.
Liyue, Yunxi and Yan Feiyu were seen being held aside, unable to move, their expressions filled with helplessness and fear.
Beside them, there were several figures standing, led by none other than Feng Jingtian, the lord of Wangchuan Fairy City, and his lackey, Manager Li.
When Feng Jingtian saw Lu Chen, he immediately revealed a smug smile.
"My dear friend Lu Chen, you really didn't disappoint me. How is it going? Did you get the Resurrection Grass?"
He asked with a smile, anticipation evident in his tone.
However, when Lu Chen heard this, he looked at Feng Jingtian with a cold expression and asked in an unhappy tone:
"Lord Feng, what do you mean by this? Why are you imprisoning my friend?"
His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Feng Jingtian smiled slightly and said nonchalantly:
"It's simple. I need to make sure you obey me. The Resurrection Herb is very important to me.
In order to avoid mistakes, I have to do this. Please forgive me.
Of course, as long as you can hand over the Resurrection Grass, I can agree to let you both leave safely."
"Should I thank you then?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes became sharper.
In fact, if Feng Jingtian didn't do these weird things, he would also give the other party a resurrection grass.
But the other party actually played this trick on him. Lu Chen couldn't understand it, and his tone became cold:
"Do you think you can control me like this? If you dare to hurt them, I will make you pay the price."
Facing Lu Chen's threat, Feng Jingtian didn't seem to care, but laughed even more wantonly.
"Oh? Then you might as well give it a try." He said provocatively, "But I don't think you would be willing to take the risk of destroying the Resurrection Grass? The result would only lead to a feud between us."
Lu Chen clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his palms, but he knew he had to remain calm at this moment.
He knew very well that if he lost his mind, not only would he be unable to rescue Liyue and others, he might even lose himself.
So he forced himself to relax, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Okay," Lu Chen said slowly, "As long as you let my friends go, I can give you the Resurrection Grass."
Hearing this, a hint of cunning flashed in Feng Jingtian's eyes.
Of course he longed to obtain the Resurrection Grass, but he wanted to obtain the Samadhi True Fire even more, otherwise he would not have fallen out with Lu Chen.
The purpose of capturing Liyue and others is to restrain them and cooperate with them to obtain the Samadhi True Fire.
Otherwise, once the opponent fights desperately, it will be easy for Samadhi Zhenren to dissipate automatically.
With this thought in mind, Feng Jingtian struggled for a while, and finally nodded. "Okay, as long as you promise to hand over the Resurrection Grass, I will release you immediately."
Seeing this, Yan Feiyu suddenly stopped him and said:
"Lu Chen, leave quickly. Don't believe his lies. He will never let us go."
"Yes, Lu Chen, you can find a way to escape. As long as you remember to help me fulfill my original promise, I will have no regrets even if you die today."
Li Yue on the side echoed.
"Shut up, or I'll kill you."
Manager Li immediately scolded them upon seeing this. He was about to raise his hand to slap Li Yue and Yan Feiyu, but Lu Chen stopped him in time:
"stop!"
Then, he took out a piece of ice the size of a watermelon from the Golden Pearl World.
The magical herb frozen in the ice is the resurrection herb.
However, Lu Chen had secretly lifted the special seal on the surface of the ice.
Feng Jingtian stood not far away, staring greedily at the ice in Lu Chen's hand.
He knew very well that as long as he could get the Resurrection Grass, his cultivation would be greatly improved, and he might even have the hope of breaking through to a higher level.
However, he also knew that if he did not first lift the restrictions on Li Yue and others, Lu Chen would never hand over the treasure easily.
Feng Jingtian was helpless and could only nod to Manager Li beside him.
Manager Li understood what was going on and immediately raised his hand and released a stream of immortal energy, quickly removing the restrictions on Liyue, Yan Feiyu and Yunxi.
After the three regained their freedom, they immediately came to Lu Chen, their eyes full of gratitude and worry.
"Lu Chen, are you really going to do this?" Li Yue looked at the Resurrection Grass in Lu Chen's hand and asked anxiously, "These people can't be trusted at all!"
Lu Chen patted her shoulder gently and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I already have a plan." He whispered,
Then he turned to Feng Jingtian and said, "Since you promised to release him, then we should act according to the agreement."
Feng Jingtian smiled slightly, looking confident. "Very good, as long as you hand over the Resurrection Grass, I will never hurt you."
In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, he used his spiritual sense to send a message to his subordinates, asking them to act according to the situation and catch Lu Chen and others in one fell swoop.
However, what Feng Jingtian didn't know was that Lu Chen also used his telepathic consciousness to communicate fully with Li Yue, Yun Xi, and Yan Feiyu.
Then, Lu Chen threw the ice in his hand towards Feng Jingtian with lightning speed like a cannonball.
"This is what you want, take it." His voice was cold, as if without any emotion.
Feng Jingtian saw this and reached out to catch it. He saw the ice cube spinning rapidly in the air, flashing cold light, as if it contained endless power.
Feng Jingtian caught the ice carefully, fearing that it would suddenly shatter or explode.
He looked at the ice in his hand carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
However, before his smile could fully unfold, his expression suddenly changed and became extremely stern.
"Go ahead, capture them for me!" Feng Jingtian shouted angrily, his voice exploding in the air like thunder.
However, Lu Chen seemed to be well prepared. As soon as he threw the ice cube...
