The chapter begins with a focus on the urgency of dealing with Su Menghan. The "Earth Dragon" that Yu Xiaoling mentioned was actually a refined worm. Her initial approach to An Que was motivated by her desire for him to bring her to this location.
Upon arriving, Yu Xiaoling seized an opportunity to dive into the water, where she felt a certain level of safety. She believed that with so many spiritual herbs around, there must be plenty in the water as well. Her suspicions were confirmed as she discovered numerous items beneath the surface, and she noticed that the deeper she went, the more spiritual herbs she found. Eventually, she stumbled upon an underwater cave.
She could sense the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the cave, and if she could stay there for an extended period to cultivate, it would be immensely beneficial. Unfortunately, places rich in resources often harbor hidden dangers. Upon her arrival at the cave, she found that a massive worm had already claimed it as its territory. The entrance was littered with the remains of many fish.
Such a scene was rare; typically, fish prey on worms, yet this worm had devoured numerous fish. If Yu Xiaoling hadn't fled quickly, she might have met the same fate.
Half a day later, under Yu Xiaoling's guidance, Chen Anlin and Ke Xuexin arrived at a secluded lakeside. "This is the bottom of the water," Yu Xiaoling warned. "With your strength, Brother Chen, you might not stand a chance against that Earth Dragon."
Her warning wasn't out of concern for Chen Anlin but rather a fear that he might push her to delve deeper into danger, turning her into cannon fodder. Therefore, she hoped he would call for his subordinates.
"No worries, I've already informed them," Chen Anlin replied. On their way here, he had sensed Su Menghan and Zhou Tong's positions with his soul power; they hadn't strayed too far and were already on their way.
At that moment, Su Menghan was hurrying toward Chen Anlin's location. Suddenly, her eyes brightened as she noticed a faint fragrance emanating from the roots of a tree nearby. It turned out that there was a colorful little mushroom growing there—known as the Yang Mushroom—which had invigorating properties.
She crouched down and took out her small knife to cut it from its roots. With a swift motion, she severed the root cleanly.
Su Menghan picked up the sun mushroom and smiled slightly, saying, "An Lin will definitely be very happy to see this."
"Wuhu, beautiful lady, are you here alone?"
"Who?"
Su Menghan quickly turned her head and realized that Kui Que had suddenly appeared.
With a playful grin on his face, Kui Que struck a pose he believed to be charming.
"Beautiful lady, it's me," he said with a crooked smile.
This guy is just showing off in front of me, Su Menghan thought coldly, her entire demeanor becoming alert.
Behind Kui Que were four men sporting bushy beards.
"Kui Que, as a constable, what does this mean?" Su Menghan frowned.
"This lady, you must be Chen An Lin's person, right? Do you know that Chen An Lin killed my friend?" Kui Que's expression darkened slightly as he realized he hadn't heard the sound of showing off before.
"Then go find him. What do you want with me? Are you afraid of him and planning to deal with me, a weak woman?"
Kui Que laughed heartily, "Who told you to be with Chen An Lin?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Big sister, if you surrender now, you can avoid some pain. Otherwise..."
Huang Jie exchanged glances with his companions, and the other three men began to encircle Su Menghan.
Initially, Kui Que had indeed intended to take Huang Jie and the others to confront Chen An Lin. However, when they passed by this place, he unexpectedly caught a whiff of Su Menghan's scent.
Thus, a brilliant plan formed in his mind: capture Su Menghan and use her to threaten Chen An Lin.
Su Menghan immediately felt tense; her cultivation was only at the seventh rank. Moreover, Chen An Lin was not far from here.
Knowing her own limitations, she realized that even if she tried to escape from Chen An Lin's watchful eye, she would still be within his range of surveillance.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Chen An Lin had already arrived.
Without saying a word, seven strands of sword intent shot into the sky and targeted the weakest among them—a man in a yellow shirt.
The four bearded men were not simple characters; especially Huang Jie, whose cultivation had reached the fourth rank!
Moreover, the positioning of these four men showed they were very well-coordinated.
Thus, when Chen An Lin made his move and chose to attack the weakest one first, he aimed to eliminate one opponent quickly.
The man also noticed Chen Anlin's attack, and his gaze sharpened as he shouted, "Coward!" He quickly drew his sword to defend himself, but the sword energy pierced through his defenses, creating a large hole in his chest.
He fell to the ground unwillingly. It was Chen Anlin who had come to kill him. Huang Jie let out a furious roar, and the other two rushed forward with their swords drawn.
Kong Que was both shocked and angry; he never expected Chen Anlin to be so bold as to strike first. After all, Huang Jie was a fourth-tier cultivator.
"Heh, but this will be your end," Huang Jie sneered. Leading the charge, he relied on his overwhelming cultivation advantage to suppress Chen Anlin with fierce energy. "Kid, you’re just relying on the Empress’s power. Without her, you’re nothing!"
However, his laughter soon faded. Chen Anlin had only been briefly suppressed for two breaths when Huang Jie's two lackeys had yet to close in. With a swift stroke of his sword, Chen Anlin shattered Huang Jie’s force.
Then, retreating a step, he donned a black cloak that enveloped him completely. He vanished without a trace.
"Huh? Where did he go?" Huang Jie was momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, one of his subordinates let out a horrified scream as both of his legs were cleanly severed.
"No! That cloak has an invisibility effect!" Kong Que quickly reminded him. "Jie Ge, capture that woman!"
Only then did Huang Jie realize what was happening and murmured, "Could it be the Shadowless Cloak that mysteriously disappeared years ago?"
He had no time to ponder further and charged toward Su Menghan. One had to admit that Kong Que truly was the child of fortune; at a critical moment, he had found a way to turn the tide.
