Chapter 1790 - 1791: Hand Over the Keys
Li Feng drew everyone's attention, while Lin Chen and Feng Jiu arrived at the stone door.
There was a keyhole on the stone door.
Seeing the color of the keyhole, Lin Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart.
The keyhole was blue.
This meant that the stone door could be opened with the blue key.
Lin Chen took out the blue key and inserted it into the keyhole.
Accompanied by a dull noise from the stone door, it slowly opened.
Upon entering the stone chamber, Lin Chen discovered a small emerald-green herb growing inside.
The herb looked no different than ordinary grass, but green energy emanated from around it, giving off a pleasant scent.
"Little Handsome, what kind of grass is this?" Lin Chen asked.
"This grass is called Spirit Source Grass. No matter how grievous the injuries, consuming this herb can bring one back to life."
"Oh, it truly is something precious." Lin Chen nodded.
Feng Jiu chuckled, "Lin Chen, I've just acquired the Fang Tian Hua Halberd, so you should share this herb with Li Feng."
Lin Chen nodded and put away the herb.
At this moment, Li Feng was engaged in an intense battle with the other guy.
No clear winner emerged between the two. Suddenly, Li Feng noticed Lin Chen and Feng Jiu stepping forward, and his eyes sparkled.
"Kid, neither of us wins; perhaps we should just call it even," Li Feng said casually.
"Ridiculous, kid. If I don't take your life today, I'll write 'grandson' backwards," the opponent boasted, feeling he had a slight advantage and sure he could kill Li Feng.
Li Feng smiled faintly, "Since you're courting death, don't blame me."
With that said, Li Feng shot out like lightning, passing right through the young man.
Bang!
The young man had no time to react, and fell to the ground.
Li Feng snorted, "I gave you a chance, don't blame me now!"
Seeing the young man killed, his companion's face darkened, wanting to avenge him.
At that moment, the aura Li Feng released sent shivers down everyone's spine.
My heavens! This kid's strength was actually at the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor; he had been concealing his power all along.
The others, who almost considered revenge, suddenly became disheartened, like frost-bitten eggplants.
"Senior, we were blind," they said hurriedly, retreating.
Li Feng snorted, turning to regroup with Lin Chen and the others.
Having watched the fight, the crowd continued to examine the stone door, never dreaming that the contents inside had already been taken.
"Li Feng, keep this Spirit Source Grass. You accompanied me to the Sky Demon Realm, which is fraught with danger. If injured, consuming this grass can revive you."
"Chen brother, this..." Li Feng felt a bit embarrassed.
Lin Chen laughed, "My strength might be a bit greater than yours; this is something you need more, besides, there's still plenty of treasures here."
Li Feng was deeply moved; this Spirit Source Grass was precious, akin to granting a hope of resurrection.
"Thank you, Chen brother!" Li Feng nodded, putting away the Spirit Source Grass.
"Let's keep going," Lin Chen said, continuing forward.
Some time later, those researching the treasure inside the stone door encountered someone with a blue key.
When they opened the stone door, they found nothing inside.
Only then did someone recall Li Feng and his two companions; it seemed they had gone to the stone door during the fight.
But by then, Lin Chen and the others had already left long ago, too late to find them.
Having entered the Misty Forest and obtained two treasures, their harvest was truly abundant.
The trio continued searching for keys in the Misty Forest.
As time passed, more people grew aware of the keys' functions, and everyone was searching for them.
Compared to finding keys, Li Feng most desired to locate Shangguan Wan'er and the others.
But to Li Feng's surprise, Shangguan Wan'er and her team seemed to have vanished.
Throughout their journey, they asked numerous people, but none had seen Shangguan Wan'er and her group.
Where exactly had this girl gone!
During these days, Lin Chen explored numerous caves, slaughtering countless beasts, yet luck eluded him as he found no more keys.
Misty Forest had seen some Immortal realm experts killing for keys.
Lin Chen considered this, but ultimately dismissed the thought.
After all, they were all from the Immortal realm and had to face the Demon realm together later. Plus, Lin Chen wasn't sure if the opponent had keys, and he wouldn't commit indiscriminate killing.
Several people were passing through a grove when suddenly surrounded by a dozen Martial Artists.
The martial artists were all high-level Immortal Emperors, with the leader's power reaching the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor.
Lin Chen frowned, "Is there an issue?"
The leading peak Immortal Emperor snorted, "Kid, hand over your keys."
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh; they actually encountered key robbers.
"I don't have any," Lin Chen replied with a smile.
"No keys? You're fooling us; let's search you, and if we find any, you're done for," the peak Immortal Emperor's eyes flashed coldly.
"Search me?" Lin Chen smirked.
Lin Chen had no intention to kill, but being provoked didn't mean he couldn't.
This group had undoubtedly ambushed many strong individuals here; upon arriving nearby, Lin Chen detected the scent of blood.
"You've robbed quite a few keys, huh?" Lin Chen said coolly.
"It's none of your business; hand over the keys and we'll spare you three," the leading martial artist said.
Lin Chen chuckled, "I'll return the same words to you: hand over the keys, and we'll spare you."
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the martial artist and others laughed.
Lin Chen's group currently displayed Immortal Emperor high-level strength, while they had a pinnacle Immortal Emperor and ten high-level Immortal Emperors; believing it would be easy to kill Lin Chen's group.
Feng Jiu snorted, "Are you deaf? Hand over the keys and we'll spare you; otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Haha! I've never met anyone so bold during all my ambushes. Kid, I've changed my mind; I'll kill you first and search for the keys afterwards."
Upon speaking, Old Hei signaled, and the martial artists swiftly drew their weapons.
Feng Jiu snorted, "Fools courting death."
He then swung his Fang Tian Hua Halberd towards them.
"Hmm, a mid-level Spiritual Artifact." Seeing Feng Jiu's halberd, Old Hei's eyes gleamed.
Old Hei extended his hand, and a Snaketail Spear appeared, lunging at Feng Jiu.
Boom!
The spear clashed with the Fang Tian Hua Halberd.
Crack! The Snaketail Spear instantly broke apart; Old Hei's face changed, attempting to retreat, but the Fang Tian Hua Halberd had already struck.
Slash!
Blood splattered; Old Hei's head was cut off and his corpse fell.
The others ready to attack Li Feng and Lin Chen were left stunned by this scene.
The guy wielding the Fang Tian Hua Halberd was actually a pinnacle Immortal Emperor.
Even more shockingly, Li Feng and Lin Chen released their aura in that instant, revealing they were both pinnacle Immortal Emperors.
