Chapter 1124 Prophecy
The three of them arrived at a Chinese restaurant; these two guys were not polite at all and ordered a whole table full of dishes.
Seeing how they ate, Lin Chen was speechless, "How long has it been since you two last ate?"
While eating, Zhang Yu said, "You wouldn't believe it, but we've been on a mission in the jungle recently and haven't had a decent meal for half a month."
"How did the two of you also join the Dragon Group?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Lin Chen could understand Zhang Yu joining, after all, Zhang Yu was from a prominent family in Huaxia, but he was somewhat surprised about Geng Hao.
In Lin Chen's heart, Geng Hao had always been an ambitious person; the last time they met, Geng Hao even wanted to recruit Lin Chen to establish his own power base. But now, Geng Hao had actually become a member of the Dragon Group, which astonished Lin Chen immensely.
Zhang Yu laughed, "Every year, our Zhang family sends outstanding disciples to serve in the Dragon Group, it's an obligation of our few big families. As for Geng Hao, well, he actually has to thank someone by your side."
"Someone by my side?" Lin Chen was taken aback.
Geng Hao said, "After we parted ways last time, I originally wanted to strike out on my own, but then I encountered a formidable opponent, a nemesis of our Geng family."
"You're talking about the guy who also controls robots, right?" Lin Chen said in a deep voice.
Geng Hao nodded, "The mechanical legacy of our Geng family is authentic, but there was a traitor in our development history. He stole half of the incomplete scroll of our family's mechanical legacy, and then disappeared without a trace."
All these years, our family has been searching for this traitor, but that guy never reappeared.
Until three months ago, I got word that the guy showed up in Zhonghai.
I finally saw him in Zhonghai and had a robot battle with him.
After all, since he only had the incomplete scroll, he was no match for me. But that guy actually had help, an expert with bombs.
I was attacked from both sides and almost lost my life, luckily Sister Xiaohua showed up to save me.
My life belongs to Sister Xiaohua. Originally, I wanted to follow Sister Xiaohua to Devil's Island, but she introduced me to join the Dragon Group, saying she hoped I could help you maintain peace in Huaxia.
So it was that girl Zhao Xiaohua, Lin Chen finally understood the reason behind all of this.
"According to our intelligence, the guy who controls the robots is the Dark Alliance's Sixth Prince, and the one who likes to use explosives is the Eighth Prince. This time they came to Hua City for the Heavenly Source Crystal," Zhang Yu said.
"Heavenly Source Crystal?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
"According to our information, deep in Yao Ling Mountain near Hua City, there's an ancient tomb of the Martial God Li Haotian. Inside the tomb, there's a treasured sword, and the gem on its hilt is the Heavenly Source Crystal," Geng Hao explained.
"Li Haotian, the Li family!" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
No wonder the people from the Dark Alliance have always been targeting the Li family; could it be that Li Haotian was also part of the Li family?
Lin Chen furrowed his brows and dialed Li Yunfei's phone number.
However, the call was in a state of no answer on the other end.
"Damn it!" Lin Chen felt a sense of unease deep in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yu looked at Lin Chen, asking in confusion.
Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "I have a friend from the Li family, and I'm worried she might be in trouble."
At this moment, Lin Chen's phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
The call connected, and an anxious voice came through: "Lin Chen, I'm Aunt Wu Ya, is Yun Fei with you?"
"No! Isn't Yun Fei with you?" Lin Chen's heart sank with a sense of foreboding.
"Yun Fei said she's going out to buy groceries and mentioned inviting you over for dinner tonight, but she never returned. I thought she was with you!" Wu Ya said anxiously.
"What time did she leave?" Lin Chen asked.
"A little past three in the afternoon. It's almost five now, and she won't answer her phone. Where could this girl have gone?" Wu Ya said in a panic.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll find Yun Fei." Lin Chen said in a deep voice.
"Mm, let me know as soon as you have news," Wu Ya said anxiously.
After hanging up, Lin Chen said to the two, "You guys go ahead and eat, I have an urgent matter to attend to."
"We'll go with you; our task this time is to assist you in finding the Heavenly Source Crystal," Zhang Yu and Geng Hao said after wiping their mouths.
Lin Chen nodded, and the three headed straight for the Hua City Public Security Bureau.
In the monitoring room of Hua City Public Security Bureau, with Xu Wei's help, Lin Chen pulled up footage from Li Yunfei's house in the afternoon.
The Heavenly Eye system in Huaxia is very advanced, and Lin Chen quickly saw Li Yunfei leaving her house.
After exiting the house, Li Yunfei took out her phone to make a call, which Lin Chen knew was to him.
Once the call ended, as Li Yunfei was walking, suddenly a car stopped beside her.
The car was also a Phantom sports car, and the license plates were identical to Lin Chen's.
What was even more shocking was, the head poking out from the opened car window was actually Lin Chen.
Li Yunfei walked towards the car and suddenly two hands reached out from inside and pulled her in.
"Damn it, it's that guy again." Lin Chen's eyes hardened.
No need to ask, the other party was definitely the guy with the robots, the Sixth Prince of the Dark Alliance.
The Phantom sports car sped down the road, the opponent very cunningly avoiding the cameras and quickly disappearing.
"Bastards, they really targeted Li Yunfei," Lin Chen said in a deep voice.
"What do we do next?" Zhang Yu looked at Lin Chen.
"To the Li family!" Lin Chen took a deep breath and said.
At the Li family, Li An, Li Tianfei, and Wu Ya were all sitting in the hall.
Li An's face was dark: "I never thought, after hiding for so long, we would still be discovered by these bastards."
"Dad, what exactly is going on?" Li Tianfei asked anxiously.
Li An said in a deep voice, "The truth is, our Li family has always had a secret; we are the descendants of the ancient Martial God Li Haotian. For all these years, our family has been concealing our identity to avoid those harboring ill intentions towards the ancestral tomb. Only the Family Head knows the Li family secret."
"That's what it is!" Li Tianfei and Wu Ya were both shocked.
Legendary Martial God Li Haotian was considered a myth in Huaxia's martial world and was called the founder of Huaxia martial arts. Li Tianfei never thought he was a descendant of the Martial God.
Li An furrowed his brows and said, "It seems this time they've come for the ancient tomb."
"For the ancient tomb?" Li Tianfei's expression slightly changed.
Li An took a deep breath: "Our Li family holds an ancient map, which shows the location of the ancestor's tomb. But the ancestor's parting words were that unless our Li family faced an immense crisis, the tomb should not be opened."
"Even though over the years, the Li family has experienced many wars and countless crises, we have managed to pull through safely. Unexpectedly, this time, the information somehow got leaked and people are targeting us." Li An said in a deep voice.
At this point, the old steward came in: "Master, Mr. Lin Chen is here to see you."
"Lin Chen?"
Hearing the name, Li An suddenly recalled something, and his facial expression changed.
"Could it be that prophecy is true?" Li An murmured to himself.
