Chapter 1429: Chapter 1400: I Will Return

“What was I thinking?!” Li Chen almost slapped himself.

He snapped out of it, awakened by a word from Lin Yi. Now, he had no time to be despondent. The Extreme Wing Sect has likely begun hunting him down, and Lin Yi only had amnesia, which can be restored. Yet here he was, feeling defeated?

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you recover!” Li Chen’s tone became resolute.

“Although I’ve made many failed promises, I will definitely fulfill this one, even if it costs me my life!”

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

“Then, can you tell me who you are?”

“My name is Li Chen,” Li Chen said calmly. “I am your husband.”

“Huh?” Lin Yi’s expression immediately turned peculiar.

Indeed, she had lost her memory, but everything else was intact. Anyone would have such an expression if someone on the roadside told them they were their husband.

“It’s okay, I don’t need you to believe anything. I just hope you can wait for me. No matter what, I will help you recover your memory!”

Lin Yi’s face flushed slightly, and surprisingly, she didn’t feel much aversion in her heart: “Could you tell me about our past?”

“Of course, we used to live…”

Just as Li Chen was speaking, a silhouette suddenly appeared behind Lin Yi. Seeing this figure, a look of surprise appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

However, the figure merely shook its head lightly toward Li Chen.

Li Chen’s heart sank.

“Huh, Netherworld, why did you come out?” Lin Yi seemed to sense what was behind her and quickly asked.

“Netherworld, let’s talk.” Li Chen said sternly.

“You know Netherworld too?” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up. If Li Chen knew Netherworld, then what Li Chen said…

Netherworld nodded, gave a soft “Mm,” and then left the room with Li Chen.

After they went out, they opened another room nearby.

“Dad.”

By now, Netherworld had grown into a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. Whatever he had experienced over the past year or so, he had matured a lot, and his voice had also become deeper.

“Netherworld, tell me, what exactly happened?” Li Chen’s expression appeared somewhat grave.

Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Netherworld couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

When he saw Li Chen, he was also very pleasantly surprised, but when he thought of his mother’s current situation, Netherworld couldn’t feel happy.

“Mom’s situation is very complicated now.” Netherworld shook his head and said.

“Back then, after Ling Canghai took us into the Ascension Passage, he was originally seriously injured by you, father. Later, I took advantage of his inattention and attacked him. After he was seriously injured, he tried to escape immediately. But before he fled, he heavily injured Mom. Despite using all my strength, I couldn’t heal Mom’s injury.” Netherworld sighed as he spoke.

“Ling Canghai!!” Li Chen clenched his fists, and the sound of his bones cracking could be heard.

Li Chen’s killing intent for Ling Canghai had risen to an extreme.

“Later, I took Mom to seek a remedy, wandering in the Heavenly Realm for half a month, almost couldn’t hold on, but luckily met Senior Meng Rao of the Tianyu Sect. She saved me and Mom.” Netherworld said gratefully.

“But, when she awoke, Mom had amnesia. Senior Meng Rao took Mom as her disciple, and I stayed by Mom’s side. Senior Meng Rao told me that Mom’s memory can only be recovered on her own. Telling her about the past is just like telling her a story, and it would replace her memories.” Netherworld said sadly.

Li Chen’s face turned dark, he understood what Netherworld meant.

Even if he told Lin Yi about the past now, to Lin Yi it would just be a story, and stories and memories are two completely different feelings.

Moreover, the more severe problem is that this story might replace the feelings in her memory.

No wonder Netherworld, even staying by Lin Yi’s side all the time, didn’t tell her about the past.

“Hoo——” Li Chen exhaled a breath, his mind somewhat in disarray.

“Is there any way to help your mom regain her memory?” Li Chen asked.

Netherworld nodded: “Senior Meng Rao said there are only two ways. One is that once Mom’s cultivation reaches a certain level, she will automatically regain her past memories. It’s just that this certain level, she doesn’t know how high it is.”

“And the other is to find the Past-Dust Fruit and the Past-Events Flower, and the Past-Dust Memories Pill refined from them can retrieve even past life memories, let alone the memories Mom lost. This is the fail-safe method. Of course, it’s extremely difficult to find these two spiritual medicines, let alone refining them into a pill.” Netherworld said somewhat disappointedly.

The Past-Dust Memories Pill, Li Chen had seen in the Jade Slip.

Both the Past-Dust Fruit and the Past-Events Flower are Rank Seven Spiritual Medicines, and the Past-Dust Memories Pill is also a Rank Seven Heavenly Pill.

So-called Heavenly Pill, is a pill taken by Heaven-level Experts. The pills Li Chen refined before were the most ordinary ones.

Even the Realm Breaking Pill, although rare, is still not as valuable as a single First Grade Heavenly Pill.

But this Past-Dust Memories Pill is a Rank Seven Heavenly Pill!

Li Chen sighed inwardly. Although he had obtained many spirit grasses in the Spiritual Herb Garden, he didn’t have the Past-Dust Fruit or the Past-Events Flower.

The next moment, a burning determination ignited in his eyes.

No matter how difficult it was, he had to find the Past-Dust Memories Pill to restore Lin Yi’s memory!

“Netherworld!”

Li Chen’s gaze fell on Netherworld, patting his shoulder firmly, and said, “I have to leave, to search for the Past-Dust Memories Pill for your mom. No matter what, I will help her regain her memory. While I’m gone, you’ll have to protect Mom, okay?”

Netherworld nodded vigorously: “Don’t worry, I won’t let any harm come to Mom even if it costs me my life!”

Li Chen forced a smile: “Don’t be reckless with your life, you only have one, and if you lose it, you lose everything. You’re my family, I don’t want any harm to come to you.”

“I understand, Dad.”

“I won’t go back.” Li Chen stood up: “Also, I am being hunted, don’t tell anyone you’ve seen me, don’t let anyone know you know me.”

“Who dares to hunt my dad?” A flash of murderous intent crossed Netherworld’s eyes. At this moment, he seemed to transform back into that demon lord who once slaughtered an entire continent to protect his family.

Li Chen was surprised to find that Netherworld’s cultivation had already reached the Mid-Heaven Realm.

“These matters, I’ll handle them myself, don’t worry about it.” Li Chen walked to the door, pausing his steps.

“Take good care of your mom, I… will be back.”
