Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 488 - 485: Li Chen’s Revenge! [Second Update]

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, he saw a tall girl walking towards them with a strong flashlight in her hand.

When she saw a silhouette ahead, she was startled on the spot.

Li Chen recognized the girl’s identity and asked with a smirk, "Lu Yaoyao, what are you randomly shining at?"

The person was indeed Lu Yaoyao. Hearing the commotion from the valley, she came over with a flashlight to check, but she never imagined she would encounter Li Chen here, and in his arms... Lan Huanxi.

"Li Chen, Huanxi, what are you two doing out here so late at night?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lan Huanxi’s hair draped over her shoulders and her cheeks flushed. Instinctively, she imagined some not-suitable-for-children content, and screamed in shock, "Hey, you two couldn’t have come here for a thrill, doing that kind of... shameful thing, right?"

Li Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I’m saying, Lu Yaoyao, you look pretty innocent, but how come your mind is filled with such filthy thoughts?"

Lu Yaoyao became flustered, her eyes reddening as she said, "You’re the one with a filthy mind! Since it’s not what I thought, then you tell me, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night, alone together in the wild?"

"Do you think you’re a neighborhood committee auntie, meddling in our business?"

Having said that, Li Chen pushed her aside and said, "Move aside, don’t block the way!"

Lan Huanxi, worried about the misunderstanding, hurriedly explained.

"Sister Yaoyao, it’s not what you think. There were bad guys; Brother Li Chen saved me!"

Hearing Lan Huanxi’s words, Lu Yaoyao realized that she had misunderstood Li Chen.

But she was too proud to admit her mistake; she had just scolded Li Chen, and now to go apologize was absolutely out of the question.

Knowing she was wrong, not admitting it, but she corrected it.

"Hey, it’s dark and the road is slippery, be careful when you go down the mountain!"

As she spoke, Lu Yaoyao briskly ran ahead to light the way for Li Chen and Lan Huanxi.

Seeing Lan Huanxi’s hair was wet and she looked weak, she asked with concern, "Huanxi, what happened to you?"

"Wow, your forehead is so hot, do you have a fever?"

"Sister Yaoyao, I’m fine!"

Lan Huanxi managed to squeeze out a pale smile and told Lu Yaoyao.

"You silly girl, you have a high fever and still you say it’s nothing, are you cold? Wrap yourself in my coat!"

As she spoke, she began to take off her coat to drap it over Lan Huanxi.

Lu Yaoyao was wearing a tight sweater underneath, with her snow-white neck accentuating the two round shapes below, quite a sight to behold.

Li Chen glanced at her then looked away, saying indifferently, "Huanxi is not cold, put your clothes on quickly!"

Lan Huanxi also followed and said, "Yeah, Sister Yaoyao, I’m not cold at all, listen to Brother Li Chen and put your clothes on!"

Lu Yaoyao stood still for three seconds and then put her clothes back on.

"By the way, there was a big explosion on the mountain just now, do you guys know what happened?"

Before Lu Yaoyao could finish speaking, Li Chen gave a concise reply.

"I don’t know!"

Lu Yaoyao was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "You were on the mountain, how could you not know?"

Li Chen looked at Lu Yaoyao and retorted, "You were on the mountain just now too, right? Do you know what happened?"

"Uh?"

Lu Yaoyao was at a loss for words.

She was indeed on the mountain just now, but she was video chatting with a friend from Newport and didn’t notice the situation here, so naturally, she had no idea.

"Right, Huanxi. You mentioned bad guys earlier, where are those bad guys now, where are they?"

Lu Yaoyao was very stubborn, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of things.

Lan Huanxi knew how serious the question was and did not answer, instead glancing at Li Chen.

Li Chen stopped in his tracks, looked at Lu Yaoyao, and said in a very serious tone, "Lu Yaoyao, you don’t need to know about matters that aren’t your concern, nor should you pry into them. Otherwise, if you bring trouble upon yourself, no one will be able to save you. Curiosity killed the cat, understand?"

Startled by Li Chen’s gaze, sharper than lightning, Lu Yaoyao instinctively nodded her head, indicating she understood.

When they arrived at the Observatory, police officers had already rushed to the scene, sealing it off.

Inside, Li Chen saw two familiar faces, Moo Tianhong, the Chief of Jiangnan Police Station, and Vermilion Bird from the Dragon Team.

Upon seeing Li Chen, Vermilion Bird hurried over and pointed at Lan Huanxi, asking, "What happened to her?"

Li Chen said, "It’s nothing serious, just a fever. She just needs to rest for one night and she’ll be fine!"

Vermilion Bird nodded, then signaled for two female officers to come over and take care of Lan Huanxi.

Then, she gave Li Chen a meaningful look, indicating that he should step aside to talk.

Li Chen handed Lan Huanxi to one of the female officers, gently smiled at her and said, "Huanxi, you’re running a fever right now. Talk less, rest well, got it?"

Being a clever girl, Lan Huanxi obviously understood the implication of Li Chen’s words and nodded like a pecking chicken.

They walked to a quiet spot, and Li Chen stopped.

"There’s no one here. Whatever you want to ask, ask it here!"

Vermilion Bird paused for a moment and then asked with a serious tone, "Those people on the mountain... it was you who killed them, right?"

Li Chen did not hide the truth and said, "Yes, what about it?"

Seeing Li Chen’s nonchalant attitude, Vermilion Bird pressed on, "You were really ruthless. At least a hundred people died on Yuhua Mountain today, right?"

Li Chen nodded and said indifferently, "Precisely 157 people. Among them were six Transformation Realm Grandmasters and one black Gun God, whose gun could slay individuals from the God Realm. You should have his file in your Dragon Team’s database, right?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Vermilion Bird broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you talking about the King of Assassins, the Sniper God, Johnson Jiao’en from the Underworld? Where is he now?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "He’s gone to hell to repent!"

"You killed him?"

"That black devil, why keep him around for the New Year?"

Vermilion Bird was utterly embarrassed!

Johnson Jiao’en, the global top-tier fugitive wanted by twenty-seven sovereign nations, even the United States and Russia were powerless against him. Yet, to Li Chen, he was just an unlucky black devil?

"This matter is beyond my authority. I need to report this to the boss immediately!"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Whatever you want, just don’t interfere with my business!"

Vermilion Bird was taken aback, "Your business?"

After saying that, she seemed to realize something and urgently asked, "Are you talking about going after the Tang Family and Yuann Family for revenge?"

Li Chen did not respond, which was as good as an affirmation.

Seeing that it was indeed as she had guessed, Vermilion Bird quickly advised, "Li Chen, the Yuann Family Ancestor is a venerable figure from the God Realm. Although you are very powerful now, you do not yet possess the strength to confront him head-on."

"Moreover, Central Continent is the Yuann Family’s stronghold, a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Over the years, they have kept a low profile and secretly cultivated numerous experts. If you rashly go there, it will be like throwing an egg against a rock!"

Li Chen looked up at the sky and said resolutely, "They are but bones in the tomb, what is there to be afraid of?"

Seeing Li Chen speak with such determination, his clear and deep eyes shimmering with confidence, Vermilion Bird swallowed back her words.

"Then take care of yourself. If you need any support, you can contact me!"

Li Chen paused for a moment, then coldly said, "No need, just make sure you covertly protect Chuxue and the others. I don’t want today’s incident to happen a second time!"
