The Ghost King wore a cold expression, never expecting that this girl possessed such strength, stopping almost a hundred people here with her Sound Wave Technique.

However, Feifei was already at her limit, with blood constantly dripping from the corner of her mouth. Yet, there was a sweet smile on her lips, both sorrowful and beautiful.

"Lin Chen and the others should have escaped far by now. Father, I'm sorry, I can't return to your side. Lin Chen, I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you I like you." A crystalline tear slid down the corner of Feifei's eye.

A grimace appeared on the Ghost King's face; he never imagined that his meticulously planned ambush would be thwarted by this little girl.

"Yu Feifei, I never thought that I, the Ghost King, would be outwitted by a mere girl. Fine, very well, let your life be the price." As his words fell, the Ghost King struck fiercely with his palm.

Crack!

The cracks on the sound shield, formed by sound waves, spread like a spider's web.

Crash!

Finally, the sound shield shattered with a bang.

Feifei staggered back four or five steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her aura instantly diminished.

"It's finally over." Feifei looked at the Ghost King rushing toward her with a tragic yet beautiful smile.

A young man's figure appeared in her mind.

"Meeting you in this life, I have no regrets." On Feifei's charming face, there was no fear of death, only a kind of carefree ease.

The huge bloody palm, exuding terrifying power, tore through the air as it came towards her.

"Little girl, die!"

The bloody palm expanded continuously before her eyes. Feifei closed her beautiful eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

Bang!

Just as the Ghost King's bloody palm was about to land, a streak of light shadow, like lightning, rushed to Feifei's side, scooping her astonished form in his arms with one hand, while the other ferociously struck out a palm.

Bam!

Accompanied by a loud thud, a wave of energy surged out, lifting a sky full of dust.

The Ghost King's face was dark as he stared at the center of the energy wave. As the dust settled, a figure emerged slowly, holding Feifei in his arms.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to dare come back." The Ghost King's gaze was cold as he watched the young man walk out from the dust, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

Lin Chen glanced at the nearly unconscious Feifei in his arms, with blood at the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but bitterly smile: "This girl is too reckless, getting herself into such a state."

"A bunch of grown men bullying a girl, have you no shame?" Lin Chen said coldly, staring at the nearby Ghost King.

"Haha, the victor is king, failure means death. I'm not someone who pities women. Want to be the hero saving the beauty? Haha, too bad, you'll die here too." The Ghost King grinned coldly, looking mockingly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's gaze swept over behind the Ghost King, seeing his men slowly closing in on them in a fan formation.

"Damn it!"

With so many opponents, Lin Chen knew that fighting them all was impossible. He needed to find a way to escape safely.

Hiss!

A ghostly white flame slowly rose in Lin Chen's hand.

For some reason, the Ghost King felt his heart tremble upon seeing the flame in Lin Chen's hand.

This flame was strange, able to penetrate the soul. The Ghost King's expression changed slightly as he observed it.

The Five Elements Wheel quickly rotated, and streams of qi surged into the flame.

The flame in Lin Chen's hand rapidly blazed into intense flames.

"Go!"

With a flip of his wrist, Lin Chen sent the ferocious blaze streaking towards the Ghost King's men like a falling meteor.

Upon seeing the ghostly white flame, even the Ghost King retreated dozens of meters, full of apprehension.

Others also felt the power within, retreating step by step.

"Ghost King, even daring to kill the daughter of the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, the Sect won't let you get away with it. Enjoy being hunted down." As his words fell, Lin Chen turned and leapt towards the forest.

"Damn it, kill them for me!"

The Ghost King, clearly enraged, shouted at his men.

Just as they rushed forward a few steps, the fire above burst violently.

The Heart-Burning True Flames spread like fireworks across the skies.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Terrible screams abruptly sounded as many weakly powered disciples fell to the ground in pain, clutching their heads in agony.

The stronger ones also felt a sudden shudder throughout their bodies, even losing their combat ability for an instant.

The Ghost King's eyes narrowed, and a spiritual protective barrier appeared before him, blocking Lin Chen's fiery attack.

Lin Chen gazed at Feifei's pale and endearing face in his arms, smiling gently: "Feifei, I'll take you home."

Feifei struggled to open her eyes, wanting to say something but lacking the strength, eventually only offering a sweet smile and nodding.

With Feifei in his arms, Lin Chen increased his speed to the utmost. With Xiaoshuai's navigation, Lin Chen always found the best escape routes.

Finally, as darkness fell, Lin Chen carried Feifei into a cave.

Covering the entrance with dry branches, Lin Chen placed Feifei gently beside the stone wall.

Threads of life radiance flowed from Lin Chen's palm into Feifei's body, and soon she awoke.

Although still very weak, her condition had noticeably improved.

She reached out with her jade-like hand to gently wipe the sweat from Lin Chen's brow, speaking softly: "Didn't I tell you to run? Why did you come back?"

"I'm not the type to let a woman be my shield. I only left to prevent you from doing something foolish." Only after seeing Feifei awaken did Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief.

"Lin Chen, who are you truly? I feel like I can't see through you." Feifei gazed at Lin Chen, asking in confusion.

"Why do you want to see through me? Could it be you're curious about that part of me? If you like me, you can just..." Lin Chen teased with a mischievous smile.

"Get lost, who's interested in that! Never mind, I knew you wouldn't tell me. But no matter who you are, you can't hurt the Medicine Sect," Feifei declared seriously.

"Don't worry. Even though my time here hasn't been long, I've come to regard this place as my home. I won't betray the Medicine Sect," Lin Chen assured.

Feifei nodded and said, "You know, during this mission, my father gave me a special task to assess whether you or Yao Hui is more suitable to become the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect."

"What's the result of the assessment?" Lin Chen asked casually with a smile.

Feifei blinked her beautiful eyes: "What do you think?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Let Yao Hui be the one. I'm just a passerby in the Medicine Sect."

Although Feifei expected this, she still felt a bit of disappointment.

"Lin Chen, when do you plan to leave?" Feifei asked with some sadness.

"Once I understand the Inner Classic of the Holy Emperor, I'll leave," Lin Chen replied, taking a deep breath.

Seeing the disappointment in Feifei's eyes, Lin Chen suddenly said, "Feifei, let me tell you a story, a story about me."
