Chapter 265 - 263: Healing Protection

"Do you know me?"

Lin You looked unexpectedly at the two people who appeared in front of him.

And his response also confirmed Situ Jian’s guess, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It’s indeed you." Situ Jian’s eyes were suddenly enlightened.

"In the entire Holy Sanctuary, the one with enough strength to be ranked, but unknown to me in Plant Type, can only be the one who suddenly emerged in the Secret Realm, ranking third on the points list, Lin You."

He spoke with almost certainty.

Upon hearing this, Lin You suddenly felt enlightened.

So it was the Secret Realm points list that exposed his identity.

But before he could speak.

Yan Lie hurriedly chimed in.

"Not bad, brother, I didn’t expect you to be that Lin You, I thought it was some unknown riffraff."

His straightforward words were indeed amusingly direct.

After speaking, he even came over and hooked Lin You’s neck, winking and saying, "Brother, quickly tell me, how did you hook up with that Su Yujiao? To have her bring so many people to block you."

Having witnessed Lin You’s strength earlier, Yan Lie, sensing no malice from him, understood well that Su Yujiao and her team didn’t coincidentally collide with Lin You.

But with intention.

Being targeted by three Lord-level figures from Wuyang Realm also proved Lin You’s remarkable prowess, changing Yan Lie’s attitude towards him considerably.

Feeling no malice from him, Lin You slightly pulled himself free and said calmly, "I don’t know either, maybe it’s because I injured their people earlier."

"But I do appreciate it. If you guys hadn’t shown up, I would have likely lost quite a few of my Species."

"No need to be polite with us." Situ Jian interjected, "We came here specifically to settle accounts with them."

"Settle accounts? Does this mean you’ve had conflicts before?" Lin You asked in surprise.

"Yes, previously on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, we were tricked by them from behind. So once we received news of their presence, we immediately rushed over. It was coincidental to find you being surrounded by them."

Situ Jian didn’t mention something.

Even if the two hadn’t intervened, it’s likely that those three couldn’t really deal with Lin You.

At least escaping wouldn’t have been a problem.

But his thoughts were deep, so he didn’t say things too directly.

On the other hand, Yan Lie boldly scoffed, "Humph! Last time on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms I was careless and got tricked by them. Next time I run into Su Yujiao, I’ll strip her bare!"

"Come on, aren’t you going to advance to Tier Eight soon? You probably won’t meet her on the battlefield anymore."

Situ Jian directly exposed his bold words.

It was indeed as Lin You thought, these two were close to becoming Level Eight Lords, no wonder their power was so terrifying.

While thinking.

He noticed Situ Jian making eye contact again.

"Forgot to introduce myself, I’m Situ Jian, and this is Yan Lie. We fought together today, so let’s make friends, keep in touch if there’s an opportunity."

He reached out a friend request to Lin You.

After accepting, as long as they’re in the same area, they can communicate via private messages.

"Sure, I will."

Lin You nodded and accepted the friend request.

Then he noticed a suffix to Situ Jian’s name: "Changfeng Empire."

"Changfeng Empire?"

He softly murmured.

"What’s wrong? Haven’t heard of the name? He’s the only son of the Changfeng Emperor." A teasing voice came from the side, Yan Lie.

Unexpectedly, hearing the words Changfeng Emperor, Situ Jian’s face suddenly darkened.

"I told you, don’t mention that person in front of me, he has nothing to do with me!"

"Regardless, he’s still your father." Yan Lie shrugged.

"So what? My achievements today are entirely forged by my own efforts, that man is unworthy, hmph!"

With a cold snort, Situ Jian said no more and directly turned to leave.

Seems like it hit a sore spot.

There seems to be a story with Situ Jian.

Lin You silently watched the man’s departing back, lost in thought.

Now.

Yan Lie also came over and sent a friend request.

"Don’t worry about him, he’s just like that, likes to be contrary, but he’s a decent person. Now that this is settled, I should get going, brother, see you again."

Apparently, he also saw Lin You’s potential.

Even though they might not meet again, making friends is always wise.

After speaking, he left too, chasing in the direction Situ Jian departed.

Once they left, Lin You gazed around, all the Lords who fought for the treasures were already gone.

Those people must have fled after witnessing the terrifying battle.

Taking this opportunity, Lin You took out the treasures he had acquired.

A Tier Eight Territory Essence, two Tier Seven Territory Essences, and a shining treasure appeared in his hand.

The Tier Seven Territory Essences were ordinary.

But the Tier Eight one caught his extra attention.

Though he couldn’t use it yet, it didn’t hinder his collection for future preparations.

After safely storing the Essence, he finally examined the treasure.

An S-level Species Secret Treasure.

[Species Secret Treasure: Healing Protection]

[Treasure Type: Enhancement]

[Secret Treasure Level: S-level]

[Secret Treasure Effect: Skill healing effect increased by 3%, and targets receiving treatment from this species gain a healing shield that mitigates 30% of an attack’s damage, triggered once every 15 seconds.]

[Introduction: A secret treasure used to enhance species, can be used within a species base, and only enhances a single type of species.]

An S-level secret treasure is not as overwhelmingly powerful as an SSS-level one.

But it’s not something that a mere A-level can compare to either.

Besides improving healing effects, it also grants the healed target a damage reduction shield.

Though it’s a one-time use and has a trigger limitation.

But it essentially provides an extra life-saving skill, and can be triggered every 15 seconds.

With one group healing, all treated species can gain damage reduction once.

It’s a perfect match for an Elf Master.

Especially when the species are on the brink of death, a heal can undeniably reduce many losses.

"Not bad."

Lin You satisfiedly closed the interface and put away the secret treasure.

Then, he looked up, gazing at the distant surroundings.

In just this short half-day, the black beams at the outermost part of the Demon Plane had become extremely sparse.

Even if there were any, they were a hundred kilometers away from his location.

By the time he arrived, it would likely be deserted with not a trace remaining.

Moreover, for unknown reasons, the disturbances deep within the plane had ceased, and there was no more sound.

"Could it be that the battles of the Great Emperors are over?"

Lin You wondered.

It was the only explanation for why the number of Celestial Demon Incarnations was drastically dwindling.

However, as it was just past noon, he didn’t plan on returning so soon.

After determining the direction, he continued moving deeper into the plane to see if he could encounter more Lord Demons.

Or any Lord Demon would do.

Because he wanted to see what changes would occur once the Natural Origin progress was filled.

So quickly, he rode the Demon King Dragon with Lingxi, skimming over the outermost Primordial Zone, leaving the plane’s entrance far behind.

...

On the other side.

Within the entrance of the Wuyang Realm.

The trio who fled the grasslands, including Su Yujiao, finally made their way back here successfully.

When Su Yujiao saw the massive charred wound on Li Nian’s thigh, burnt by Dragon Flame, both she and the Angel System Lord’s faces changed.

"Li Nian, how did you get hurt so badly!?"

Su Yujiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Weren’t you fine when you just escaped?"

The Angel Type Lord quickly summoned species to heal him.

"Don’t even mention it." Li Nian, enduring the intense pain, gritted his teeth and took out healing medicine from his personal space, "We underestimated that kid too much; he had such a powerful hidden attack method."

"You mean this wound was caused by that kid you fought with?"

The Angel Type Lord was startled and exchanged a glance with Su Yujiao.

They had considered that it might have been Yan Lie or Situ Jian who struck.

But they never thought it would be the one they least regarded.

After all.

Even they couldn’t easily inflict severe injuries on Li Nian.

Let alone when Li Nian was trying to flee!

To cause such damage as he fled, one can only imagine how terrifying the opponent’s means were.

"Looks like we underestimated him."

"Even you couldn’t block his attack; Zhang Heng’s defeat was well-deserved."

The two of them looked grave; a lord of such strong capability emerging from the Primordial Realm was not good news for them.

"In any case, let’s first go back and investigate that guy’s identity."

Li Nian reached to support his thigh, grimacing in pain.

He knew best how monstrous the attack was.

Even now, his mind was still replaying the image of that fiery red stream of light piercing the earth, sending a chill down his spine.

After briefly treating and bandaging his wounds, he hobbled with the aid of the two towards the plane entrance, knowing the next few days he wouldn’t be able to return to the Main Demon Plane to compete for treasures.

And with their departure.

News of the Enchanting Demoness squad’s defeat spread like a whirlwind within the plane entrance range, causing a massive stir.

"Even Su Yujiao and her team lost? How is that possible!"

"The three of them are the top Tier Seven Lords; who is so powerful that even they can’t compete?"

"Could they have been ambushed by a High-tier Lord!"

"But I heard they were trying to take down the one who severely injured Zhang Heng."

"Could it be those prodigies from other realms?"

"That’s impossible, right?"

"Why not? Who else could force Su Yujiao to such a degree?"

"Seems like it..."

The lords discussed intensely, speculating who could be so formidable as to have dealt such a devastating blow to Su Yujiao, nicknamed the Enchanting Demoness, and Li Nian’s team.

Unbelievable!
