Chapter 486: Repairing the Bridge
Chapter 486: Repairing the Bridge
"..."
Lin Chuan pursed his lips, said nothing, and just cast his gaze at the unfinished formation that enveloped them.
After a moment, his brows knitted slightly, with a trace of inquiry flashing in his eyes, "Did you touch my things?"
"..."
Tu Bo looked at Lin Chuan coldly without saying a word.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you like, just give it to me. There's no need to come right up and fight like hell. What do you think?"
Lin Chuan's tone was relaxed and casual, as if the tense life-and-death situation just now was just a joke.
"die."
Tu Bo's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, chilling to the bone. The moment he finished speaking, his figure vanished like smoke, leaving only a lingering eerie aura in the air.
"..."
Lin Chuan sighed slightly, a solemn look forming between his brows.
"Is he really an ancient god?"
Jiang Wanying hurried to Lin Chuan's side in a flash. She frowned slightly, with doubt and uneasiness in her eyes, and asked softly.
"Ah."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly and glanced around the formation.
"What kind of deal did Ah Chuan make with Him?"
Jiang Wanying turned slightly to the side and stared at Lin Chuan with concern in her eyes.
"The bridge in the underworld was broken, and I gave him my imperial body to repair it. He should be...keeping the Path of Reincarnation for me."
Lin Chuan raised his hand and rubbed his tense brows. His lowered eyes were full of chaos and confusion, as if fragments of memory were constantly colliding in his mind but difficult to piece together.
"..."
Jiang Wanying didn't say anything, but just silently reached out and gently held Lin Chuan's hand.
"Strange, why can't I sense any murderous intent from this formation? It seems to be just a simple trap."
Bai Zhi, who had been observing the formation, also came over with a puzzled look on her face.
"That's because this formation will subtly lead our consciousness into reincarnation. By then, being alive will be no different from being dead."
Lin Chuan slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the shadows of the sun and moon emerged in his vision. His figure moved like lightning, darting through the formation. In a moment, four portals slowly appeared.
"This formation is not yet complete. It has six formation centers."
Lin Chuan glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "We need to enter the portal and destroy the victory object that contains the power of reincarnation."
"Then Ah Chuan, wait here. Bai Zhi and I will go in and look for the lucky charm."
Jiang Wanying spoke in a firm tone, her eyes full of concern and unquestionable determination.
"The situation inside the portal is unknown, and it's very likely that it will be too late by then."
Lin Chuan shook his head, his eyes calm and decisive. "Senior Sister, Bai Zhi, Xiao Xiao and I will each go to a different place. Wan Xi will stay here to prevent any accidents."
"Sir, let me go."
Lin Wanxi clenched the hem of her skirt with her bare hands and looked up at Lin Chuan.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then follow me to the same portal."
"I can go alone, and I promise I won't let you down." Lin Wanxi's voice was soft but every word was powerful.
"No."
Lin Chuan refused without a second thought. The reason he agreed to take Lin Wanxi with him was because he was afraid that she would sneak in right after he entered.
"Don't worry, Achuan. I'll come to help you as soon as I can solve it."
Jiang Wanying looked at Lin Chuan deeply, her eyes full of tenderness. As soon as she finished speaking, she no longer hesitated, turned around and strode towards a door.
"My husband, wait for me to come find you. Don't take any risks."
Bai Zhi's eyes moved, her tone full of worry and attachment. She stared deeply at Lin Chuan, then turned and walked towards one of the portals.
"Sir, wait for me."
Ye Xiaoxiao's chest rose and fell slightly. He took a deep breath, then quickly stepped into a door and disappeared in an instant.
"let's go."
Lin Chuan stretched out his hand, gently took Lin Wanxi's hand, and then led her steadily towards the only remaining door.
"Om."
Accompanied by a subtle and trembling fluctuation of spiritual power, Lin Chuan's figure appeared from the portal. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then swept his gaze towards the magnificent palace around him, with a hint of vigilance and inquiry in his eyes.
"I'll go explore the way for you, sir."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanxi tried to break free from Lin Chuan's tightly grasped hand and was about to walk towards the palace.
"..."
Lin Chuan kept his lips tightly closed and remained silent, but he just held Lin Wanxi's hand tighter, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
"Is Wanxi so afraid of becoming a burden?" He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of heartache and helplessness.
"No... no, I just want to help you, sir."
Lin Wanxi lowered her head slightly, her voice soft and a little flustered.
"But what if Wanxi had rushed over like that and encountered danger? Should I go and save you? What if I can't save you?"
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, and his tone unconsciously became heavier.
"If I'm in danger, you don't have to worry about me..."
Lin Wanxi bit her thin lips lightly, and although her voice was soft, it revealed a sense of determination.
"Lin Wanxi!"
Lin Chuan suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.
"..."
Lin Wanxi lowered her head, her delicate body trembling slightly. She didn't dare to face Lin Chuan, as if she was frightened by his anger. Her hair fell down, covering her red eyes.
"You are not a burden to me, you are my companion. You don't need to prove to me that you can help me. You just need to stay by my side and live every day well. Do you understand?"
Lin Chuan sighed slightly, his tone became gentle and firm. He gently raised his hand and tucked Lin Wanxi's fallen hair behind her ear, his eyes full of pampering and cherishing.
"..."
Lin Wanxi slowly raised her head, her eyes red and her face full of stubbornness, "I won't. Why should you be the only one who can take care of me, treat me well, and sacrifice for me? I also want to help you, even if I have to die for you, I am willing to do that."
Her voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
"But we are Dao couples. It is natural for Dao couples to support each other. Now that you need me, I will be by your side to help you. When I need you in the future, I will naturally not refuse your help."
Lin Chuan looked at Lin Wanxi sincerely and tenderly, trying to make her understand his feelings.
"But do you really consider me your Taoist partner?"
Lin Wanxi's eyes were filled with tears, and she became emotional. "So many sisters, even Xiaoxiao, have become Taoist partners with the young master, and what about me? I'm like a stray dog on the side of the road, and the young master took me in because he felt sorry for me!"
Her voice was trembling slightly with tears. She turned her head away, and her shoulders shook slightly with sobs.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out in this space. Lin Wanxi covered the painful area, and a blush instantly appeared on her fair face.
"I didn't consider you as my Taoist partner, so why did I come all the way to the Demon Tribe to see you?"
"I didn't treat you as a Taoist partner, but I cooked for you every day and read ancient books at night to find a way to treat your eyes?"
"I don't consider you as a Taoist companion. Will I be close to you when I need to leave for something?"
"I didn't consider you as my Taoist partner. Why would I bring my sisters and the others here specifically to search for the Immortal Demon Ancient Tree?"
