Alchemy Master

Chapter 84, Escaping with Their Lives

Translator: Silavin

*Pui! Pui!* Qin Yichen spat out several mouthfuls of dust that had entered his mouth, his figure swiftly dashing through the passageway. Occasionally, some debris would fly towards him. Due to the abundance of debris and his urgency to get out, he could only dodge the larger rocks in time using his Spiritual Energy for perception, while enduring the smaller pieces. In no time, his body and face were covered in numerous cuts.

Fortunately, he could now use Yuan Energy, and with the Movement Technique of the Nameless Cultivation Technique, Qin Yichen’s speed was as swift as the wind. He might not have even realised that his speed was now even faster than many Martial Grandmasters.

*Rumble!* The situation in the ruin was getting worse, the shaking becoming more violent. The passage under Qin Yichen’s feet was undulating up and down as if it had come alive. In an instant, terrifying cracks appeared, revealing a bottomless darkness below, as if ready to swallow up everything.

“Almost there, it’s just ahead!” Finally, after this urgent dash, Qin Yichen could see the main entrance of the ruin.

At this moment, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.

However, at this time, he saw several familiar figures just outside the main entrance… Among them were the two Martial Grandmaster youths who had been following Lu Linghan earlier.

Obviously, Luo Qingyu and Wang Hailin did not dare to stay here themselves, so they sent these two to observe the situation.

Qin Yichen saw them, and naturally, they also saw Qin Yichen.

Instantly, their eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

They never imagined that Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan would still be alive!

That beast’s roar had been too terrifying. After the roar, a powerful aura had permeated the ruin, preventing them from even daring to step through the main entrance.

After the aura disappeared, just as they were preparing to go in and investigate, the ruin began to collapse…

Why Qin Yichen was still alive after entering that inner palace was no longer important. What mattered was that Qin Yichen was not to be allowed to leave the ruin!

Seeing the malicious expressions on their faces, Qin Yichen’s face immediately darkened.

“You dare!?” Feeling him stop, Lu Linghan followed his gaze and looked over, her face also changing as she sternly roared in warning.

It was at this moment that they noticed Lu Linghan’s presence.

Seeing the intimate posture of Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan, their faces violently twitched. After exchanging glances, a ruthless look flashed in their eyes.

“Miss Lu, since you’ve shown us no kindness, don’t blame us for being merciless!” They stood at the entrance, their auras surging, clearly intending to bury both of them in the ruin.

*Hmph!* Qin Yichen coldly snorted, stomped his foot, and activated the Movement Technique. His figure almost turned into an afterimage as he rushed towards the entrance at high speed.

“So fast!” Both of their eyes revealed caution as they simultaneously attacked the approaching Qin Yichen.

*Crash…* At this moment, suddenly, the ground tilted, and the entire earth began to crack and collapse.

The two Martial Grandmaster youths had not anticipated this, and their bodies fell towards the interior of the ruin.

*Bang!* Qin Yichen was knocked back, but in that instant of being knocked back, he reached out with both hands, pulling the two of them in with him.

“No!…” The two screamed miserably, wanting to turn back, but the stone pillars at the entrance of the ruin fell, directly pressing them into the bottomless abyss.

[Those who harm others end up harming themselves! Humph!]

However, at this moment, the situation for Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan was not much better. In fact, he could not even find a foothold. Everything around them was collapsing, with countless rocks pressing down on them.

“Forget about me, go on your own and quickly escape!” Lu Linghan wanted to break free, but she could not muster even a bit of strength.

“Just shut up!” Qin Yichen shouted, constantly jumping on the falling debris, using it as leverage, trying to leap towards the main entrance.

Unfortunately, if it was just him alone, he could easily leap out, but with Lu Linghan on his back, they could only keep falling… [Are we going to die here like this? Humph…]

As they fell deeper, Lu Linghan’s heart was filled with despair, a bleak look appearing on her pale, pretty face.

However, for some reason, at this moment of impending death, looking at Qin Yichen, who still refused to let go of her, a hint of tenderness flashed in her beautiful eyes. The next instant, her head quietly rested on his back, which was not particularly broad. Nevertheless, it still gave her a sense of security. Finally, the two of them fell together into that bottomless abyss.

At this moment, a white light burst out from Qin Yichen’s chest, enveloping both of them…

…

Three days later.

In a forest on the outskirts of the Black Demon Mountain Range, a breathtakingly beautiful woman was lying on the ground, leaning against a tree.

Her face was pale as paper, her chest rising and falling slowly. Everything indicated that she was very weak and still in a state of unconsciousness.

As the forest rustled, a tall young man walked over carrying the carcass of a Level 2 Demonic Beast. He then skillfully skinned the Beast, cleaned it, and started a fire to roast it.

As if smelling the aroma, the pale-faced woman on the nearby grass slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the dazzling light, she squinted. After adjusting to the light, she looked around somewhat bewildered, finally focusing her gaze on the young man roasting the meat.

Upon seeing this young man, the woman’s eyes first flashed with astonishment. It was followed by a hint of shyness appearing on her delicate face. It was as if she had thought of something embarrassing, to the extent that she did not dare to look at the young man again.

These two were Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan.

After checking herself and finding that although her robes were somewhat dishevelled, there were no signs of them being torn, Lu Linghan finally let out a sigh of relief.

“If you’re awake, come over and eat something. I want to leave soon.” Seemingly sensing the movement behind him, Qin Yichen spoke indifferently without turning his head.

“Leave? Where are you going?” Lu Linghan frowned, her voice noticeably hoarse.

“I naturally have my own business to attend to. I only waited here because I was worried you might be eaten by Demonic Beasts. Now that you’re awake, I can finally leave.” Qin Yichen patted the dust off his robes, his actions decisive and without hesitation. After speaking, he walked towards the edge of the forest.

He really did not want to get involved with her! Moreover, he had been out for some time and did not know the situation in Spreading Cloud City…

“Wait a moment!” Seeing him leave so abruptly, Lu Linghan could not help but call out. She tried to get up, but a wave of weakness came over her, and she fell back down.

“Hmm?” Qin Yichen hesitated, and stopped in his tracks.
