Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1657 - 742: Pre-Departure Dispute (2)

Ding Hui’s voice echoed in Fang Yu’s mind, with a hint of alarmism.

"Given Daoist Qing Yan’s abilities, if he wanted to plot against me, I might not even have the strength to resist. However, by maintaining a facade of mutual deception, I still have some room to maneuver. But... I feel Daoist Qing Yan isn’t the kind of person you think he is."

"You don’t know Daoist Qing Yan, how can you think he’s not that kind of person?"

"Just a feeling..."

"Don’t be naive, husband, this kind of old Taoist..."

Ding Hui’s voice in Fang Yu’s mind suddenly stopped.

Fang Yu was stunned, looking ahead, only to see Chen Yunyun standing in the path, like a blockade in their way.

"Lord Yun..."

"Earlier, I let Young Master Diao laugh at me."

"..."

Fang Yu glanced at Ding Hui; it was tough to respond here.

After pondering, Fang Yu said.

"Lord Yun’s health is fragile and relies on the checkpoint’s formation to maintain her condition. Daoist Qing Yan not allowing you to come along is for your own good."

"I know. But I lost my parents early, and my master is like a reborn parent to me. If I don’t go on this rescue mission, my heart will be uneasy."

"... But leaving Sui Chong Pass, won’t you only be able to live a few days?"

"The distance to [Melted Heart Cave] isn’t far. With regular horses going back and forth, even if I arrive at [Melted Heart Cave], I’ll have only a few days to live. But with the superior horses cultivated within my checkpoint expedited day and night, I can reach [Melted Heart Cave] in a day and a half. If everything goes smoothly, I can return to Sui Chong Pass within seven days without any life-threatening risk."

Fang Yu saw that Chen Yunyun’s plans were thorough, clearly well thought out.

But...

"This matter, what I say doesn’t count."

"I know, I just wanted to tell Young Master Diao that before I leave Sui Chong Pass, I will seal the pass, close the passages, and activate Sui Chong Pass’s great formation to keep it running for seven days. Vice General Jing Jun will control the formation. Although he can’t use my kind of power, borrowing the formation, ensuring the checkpoint’s safety isn’t an issue."

Chen Yunyun’s calculations were all-encompassing, but Fang Yu still couldn’t quite understand what she was thinking...

Fang Yu suddenly paused and looked sideways at Ding Hui.

"Why are you looking at me, husband?"

Ding Hui tilted her head slightly.

Fang Yu didn’t say anything, but silently turned back to look at the present Chen Yunyun.

"You want me to feel at ease. You want to tell me, even if you’re not in Sui Chong Pass, my wife will still be very safe."

"Yes."

"... It seems your determination is set."

"Yes."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Take this."

Chen Yunyun took out half a piece of green jade pendant engraved with dragon patterns.

"What is this?"

Fang Yu asked puzzledly.

"Within a certain range, I can know your position through it. And you can also sense my position through this artifact."

Chen Yunyun shook the other half piece of red jade pendant engraved with a phoenix.

Fang Yu’s eyes lit up.

This thing has some similarities to the blue Thousand Paper Cranes that Green Demon once gave him.

However, the blue Thousand Paper Cranes were connected through similar bloodlines between him and Green Demon, thus enabling the application of blood to allow for unilateral position sensing by Green Demon.

Although Fang Yu eventually parted ways with Green Demon, never using this thing, he still retained the blue Thousand Paper Cranes.

Meanwhile, these two pieces of Dragon and Phoenix Green and Red Jade were mutually interconnected. Whoever holds them can sense each other.

"Good stuff."

Fang Yu exclaimed.

"If Young Master Diao likes it, after the matter is settled, these artifacts will be gifted as a matching pair to Young Master Diao!"

Fang Yu looked at Chen Yunyun, thought for a moment, and reached out to take the half piece of the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.

"Deal. But I’m a bit curious, since the destination is Melted Heart Cave, why does Lord Yun need to know our location? Why not find a shortcut and wait at the cave?"

"Young Master Diao might not know, but on the way to Melted Heart Cave, there are several natural barriers, and the artifact to break through them, I’ve already given to Daoist Qing Yan. Without the help of the artifact, these natural barriers alone would waste a lot of my time. So, either I join you, or I follow your path quickly through the barrier land."

Fang Yu understood.

But Chen Yunyun was so determined, risking so much to follow, yet Daoist Qing Yan still disagreed.

Both of them talked in such a roundabout way, it felt like a waste of effort, not sure what they were thinking.

Could it be that Daoist Qing Yan thought a single Sui Chong Pass could truly trap Chen Yunyun here? This woman could sacrifice her life to save someone...

Fang Yu truly didn’t want to get too involved in these two’s twists and turns.

After all, carrying an extra stone on the road wasn’t much of a problem for him.

But Ding Hui...

Without Chen Yunyun guarding the pass, Fang Yu had some doubts about Sui Chong Pass’s safety.

"Is my husband worried about me? Don’t worry, if things look bad, wouldn’t I also run?"

With those two short legs of yours, and you think you can outrun demons...

But given Ding Hui’s skills, even in the most extreme situations, she has a method of playing dead to protect herself, so her ability to protect herself is somewhat adequate.

"You be careful, I’ll handle things fast and come back for you."

"You better be the careful one. The Land of Gathering Evil is extremely dangerous. Without me by your side, keep your wits about you and don’t get tricked by someone."

Fang Yu smiled.

With his blood volume nearing 200,000, who dared mess with him, he would make them regret it.

At this moment, Chen Yunyun seemed to sense something, shot Fang Yu a glance, and hurriedly left.

Footsteps sounded from behind, Fang Yu turned to look, it was Dongfang Aotian and the others, ready and coming to join.

Fang Yu took Ding Hui and strode outside the pass.

Several nearly three-meter-tall black horses were already poised to charge.

Fang Yu even noticed that the breath these black horses exhaled was pitch-black mist, carrying a burning heat, clearly not ordinary horses.

"Seems like you haven’t seen Black-footed Horses before. These horses, apart from genuine demon horses and demon mounts, are among the best and top-tier horses among regular ones. Blended with Demon Bloodline, and with a throwback, they take this form. Only in important checkpoints like Sui Chong Pass can they afford such expensive horses; other borders wouldn’t have the finances for it," Fatty Jia swaggered over and said with a chuckle.

Dongfang Aotian and Luo Jianqing bypassed him and mounted their horses directly.

The other person and demon also mounted their horses.

Fang Yu frowned slightly, but followed suit and mounted his horse.

The Black-footed Horse was quite wild, tossing itself a couple of times before calming down.

"Looks like everyone’s here," the last to arrive was Daoist Qing Yan.

His robe fluttered without wind, and he landed steadily on the horse’s back.

But in the next instant, Daoist Qing Yan seemed to notice something, and his gaze suddenly fixed on Fang Yu.

Fang Yu felt a thud in his heart, as over there, he already spoke up.

"Young Master Diao, it seems like there’s something new on you?"

"With this journey being so perilous, of course, I’ve brought many things. I wonder what, in particular, you’re referring to, Daoist Qing Yan?" Fang Yu replied with a stiff face.

Could it be? He had already hidden the jade pendant, how could he still be discovered?

Daoist Qing Yan smiled and didn’t pursue further, instead turning towards Sui Chong Pass and clearing his throat, his voice suddenly amplifying, echoing powerfully.

"Chen Yunyun, I know what you’re thinking. But listen, even if it’s for Wen Xi’s sake, if you dare take one step out of Sui Chong Pass, even just one step, I will withdraw with all Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, all artifacts, from this rescue mission!"

"Think why your master is trapped in that place unknown to be alive or dead! Think for whom your master ended up like this! If you leave Sui Chong Pass by even half a step, you are unfaithful! Unfilial! Wasting all your master’s years of care!"

"Yes! I want to save Wen Xi, but I respect her choice more! If she saw her rebellious disciple appear in Melted Heart Cave, she might as well wish to die there herself! If you die outside trying to save your master, do you think she’d choose to live on her own?"

"Answer me! Chen Yunyun! Do you want to kill your master? Do you want to waste all our efforts?"

"I know you can hear me! Now, come out, I want you to swear to heaven that you won’t step out of Sui Chong Pass one single step before we return, or else this rescue team will never set off!"
