CHAPTER 1576: CHAPTER 1576: COMING TO THE RESCUE

If the Teleportation Array hasn’t stabilized, even if Bai Ze breaks through to the Creation Realm, it would be of no use because he would be forever trapped in this ruinous world.

This is certainly not what he desired, as he had no intention of being stuck in these ruins indefinitely.

At this moment, Bai Ze’s departure marked the last person leaving this place, simply because when the Zhang Family’s disciples threw that red Crystal Stone, everyone else was almost scared away.

...

Zhang Hongying slowly opened her eyes and found herself cradled in Lin Chen’s arms as he moved through a passage.

"Young Master Lin Chen, it’s really you, was it you who saved me?" Zhang Hongying looked at Lin Chen, speaking joyfully.

"If not me, then who else? But you all were quite bold, throwing so many Flame Explosion Talismans in such a narrow passageway. Were you planning on perishing together with Yun Xinrui?" Lin Chen said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongying couldn’t help but show a helpless expression.

"Given the perilous situation at that time, we had no time to think, nor did we expect the power of twenty Flame Explosion Talismans to be so immense," Zhang Hongying said with a bitter smile.

Earlier, when facing Yun Xinrui’s attack, they were trying to rescue Zhang Lin and didn’t care about much else, and under the explosion of twenty Flame Explosion Talismans, Yun Xinrui was severely injured, while they were also affected by the explosion and directly fainted in the impact of the Fire Sea.

"Young Master Lin Chen, what about my cousins?" Zhang Hongying looked at Lin Chen, urgently asking, her heart full of worry.

"I saved both your cousins, but the other members of the Zhang family perished in the explosion," Lin Chen said with a soft sigh.

While observing the situation in the Stone Chamber with the Abyssal Eye, Lin Chen saw the Zhang family’s people pulling out over twenty Talisman Inscriptions to attack Yun Xinrui and knew it would end badly.

In such a confined space, the power of the Flame Explosion Talismans was likely to be doubled.

When Lin Chen saw the Zhang Family’s people arriving, he actually already guessed that, given Yun Kaige and Yun Xinrui’s ways of doing things, they would definitely have the Zhang Family’s people probe the situation in the Stone Chamber.

Sure enough, a confrontation between Yun Xinrui and the Zhang Family’s members broke out instantly.

Lin Chen and the Zhang Family’s members had gone through a few ordeals together, so he didn’t want to watch them die right in front of him, especially as Lin Chen had done multiple transactions with them and earned quite a bit of money from them.

Thus, Lin Chen, Zi Ling, and Cheng Liang prepared to intervene and save lives.

Of course, Lin Chen made this decision after careful consideration, ensuring that he wouldn’t let himself, Zi Ling, and Cheng Liang fall into danger.

After all, though he had some ties with the people of the Zhang Family, it wasn’t enough to risk his own life.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, knowing that the other members of the Zhang Family had perished, Zhang Hongying felt a wave of sadness in her heart.

"Miss Zhang, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault. Even if you hadn’t used the Flame Explosion Talismans to fight Yun Xinrui to the death, the outcome might have been even worse; Yun Xinrui would not have let you all go easily.

By fighting to the last, you might still have a slim chance of survival. You made the right decision," Lin Chen said to Zhang Hongying slowly.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongying nodded slightly, feeling somewhat better.

After all, in making this desperate attempt, she had preserved the lives of Zhang Lin and Zhang Caiyun.

In reality, in the explosion just now, only three of the Zhang Family’s disciples died. After all, the Zhang family only sent seven people to these ruins, including Zhang Lin, Zhang Caiyun, and Zhang Hongying.

Earlier in the passage, one of the Zhang family’s members was already killed by the claws of the Illusion Demon Bat.

Compared to other factions, the Zhang family’s casualties were relatively light.

"Was it really you who saved me?"

Behind Lin Chen, Zhang Caiyun and Zhang Lin also woke up at this moment.

Seeing Zi Ling and Cheng Liang leading them forward, Zhang Caiyun initially thought she would surely die, but unexpectedly, upon awakening, the first thing she saw was Zi Ling.

Considering the conflict between her and Zi Ling, it was surprising that Zi Ling didn’t seize the opportunity to make things worse, let alone extend a helping hand.

"Hmph, do you think I’m willing to save you? This was all Junior Brother Lin Chen’s idea. If you want to thank someone, thank Junior Brother Lin Chen," Zi Ling snorted lightly, full of disdain as she spoke.

If it had been just her alone, Zi Ling indeed wouldn’t have rescued the Zhang family’s disciples.

After all, despite both being disciples of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, to save them involved great risks, especially rescuing them from Yun Xinrui’s hands, which was akin to courting death.

But since Lin Chen had spoken, Zi Ling had no choice but to take action; she trusted Lin Chen’s decision.

"Hmph, I knew you weren’t that kind-hearted."

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, thank you so much this time. Do you still lack a warming maid? How about considering me?" Zhang Caiyun also let out a cold snort and turned to look at Lin Chen, smiling as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s face instantly turned dark.

"Zhang Caiyun, if you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for having Senior Sister Zi Ling leave you here." Lin Chen said in annoyance.

"Don’t do that, I’m scared. How could I survive here alone? Lin Chen, are you really willing to leave a beautiful flower like me behind?" Zhang Caiyun looked at Lin Chen, putting on a scared expression as she slowly said.

"You shameless witch, shut up. You think you deserve to be a bed warmer for Junior Brother Lin Chen with that face of yours?" Zi Ling, upon hearing Zhang Caiyun’s teasing words, immediately scolded angrily.

Having confessed to and kissed Lin Chen, hearing Zhang Caiyun’s teasing words made Zi Ling quite displeased inside.

"Thump!"

As she spoke, Zi Ling directly threw Zhang Caiyun off her back and onto the ground.

"Ah..."

"Zi Ling, how dare you throw me like this? Believe it or not, I’ll hit you." Zhang Caiyun, thrown to the ground by Zi Ling, was already injured, and felt intense pain.

In the previous explosion, she had been the most severely injured. If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s elixirs, she might not have survived by now.

"Hit me? With just you? I’d like to see who’s hitting whom," Zi Ling looked at Zhang Caiyun coldly and said, immediately clenching her fist, ready to make a move.

"Lin Chen, look at your Senior Sister Zi Ling bullying your Sister Caiyun like this." Zhang Caiyun looked at Lin Chen, pouting and complaining, dragging out her voice on purpose, while striking a charming pose.

At her words, Lin Chen instantly got goosebumps all over, and Zhang Hongying’s face turned stiff.
