Chapter 661: Speak Louder
Li Guanqi looked at Yan Chong, whose eyes brimmed with tears. Li Guanqi understood him all too well. In the past, he had been the same.
He pulled the woman over and slipped a fragment of Peng Luo into her mouth. The potent medicine coursed through her, and her injuries healed at a visible speed.
Yan Chong finally relaxed, his eyes falling shut as he collapsed toward the ground. Li Guanqi caught him and searched his storage ring for a long while, but nothing inside could heal Golden Core Realm cultivators. His pills were far too potent. They could even make Yan Chong explode.
Li Guanqi pulled out dozens of storage rings taken from those he’d killed, never having sorted through the spoils. At last, in a purple ring, he found some healing pills.
He fed Yan Chong the pills, then carried them both to a mountain peak. Before long, Yan Chong stirred awake. He spotted Li Guanqi drinking wine on the summit and felt his nerves settle. Then he noticed the woman breathing steadily, and his worries eased.
Li Guanqi smiled at him. “Want a drink?”
They chatted for a while, and Li Guanqi learned that Yan Chong was a disciple of the Daxia Sword Sect from the thirty-eighth generation who had left the sect over ten years ago. Yan Chong also learned that Li Guanqi was a thirty-ninth-generation disciple, having entered a few years after him.
Seeing his heavy expression, Li Guanqi asked, “What’s wrong? You still look troubled.”
“We should leave,” Yan Chong said. “The Golden Snake Sect’s power is too great. They’ll find us soon.”
