Chapter 206: Chapter 206: The Talisman

At the entrance, the crowd noticed Yang Chen's expression suddenly become strange, and they all looked curious.

"What is that thing?" Gale asked Tsunami, who was beside him.

Tsunami shook his head, "I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"It looks like a soap bubble. Could it be a crystal ball?" Leaf guessed.

At this moment, Yang Chen suddenly reached out and took the transparent sphere from Judy's hand. Holding it in his hand, he played with it lightly.

"Do you know Aphrodite?" Yang Chen asked softly.

Judy's eyes, filled with tension, unease, fear, and hope, flashed with a sense of incredible joy, as if she had escaped death. "Is this truly the talisman of that great being?!"

"What, you don't know the origin of this thing?" Yang Chen frowned.

"No, no, I wasn't sure before. Once, by chance, I helped that great being with something. That being liked me very much and gave me this as a keepsake, but I never dared to believe in its power." Judy's tone was somewhat hurried, "In fact, I didn't even dare to confirm the true identity of that great being."

Yang Chen chuckled softly, "You're quite lucky. This bubble talisman is indeed from Aphrodite. I can feel her unique power attached to it."

The members of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, who had been listening intently to their conversation, all showed puzzled expressions. Only Leaf seemed to have thought of something and was staring blankly.

"Aphrodite? Who is that?" Tianlong, the most confused, looked around and asked the people beside him.

Leaf hesitantly said in a low voice, "I remember, she might be one of the twelve Olympian gods, the goddess of love and beauty, Venus. The ancient Greek name is Aphrodite."

"Venus?" The crowd was even more confused. Having a Hades was already incredible. If it were Venus, an existence equal to Hades, who would that be on Earth?

Leaf slowly nodded and said, "Yes, if it really is Venus, then that orb likely represents a bubble in the water. According to legend, Venus was born from the sea, emerging from the water amidst bubbles."

The group found it unbelievable, but the situation in front of them seemed so real!

Yang Chen sighed, "Since you brought out this thing, you should know that it can only do one thing. Moreover, this amulet will lose its significance once it is used."

"I know. I never believed in all of this before, but today, after meeting you, I realized it's all true. According to the 'Covenant of the Gods', the main god's amulet can help the protected person avoid punishment from another main god once or gain the protection of any main god once," Judy said humbly, stepping back two steps with her head lowered. "I just ask that the Lord of the Underworld spares us. We will leave the land of Yanxia immediately."

Although they didn't understand what the 'Covenant of the Gods' was, Punk and Carlos's eyes lit up with joy when they heard there was hope for survival. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

"You?" Yang Chen's gaze swept coldly over Punk and Carlos behind Judy. "The amulet can only protect one person. They are not within the protected range."

Judy gritted her teeth and said, "Lord of the Underworld, can you not make an exception just this once?"

"Woman, do not challenge my limits. I do not praise life; I represent death."

A few red gleams appeared in Yang Chen's eyes again, and the icy, bone-chilling aura thickened.

The sudden denial almost drove Punk and Carlos to the brink of collapse. They no longer had any will to resist. When Yang Chen firmly declared that he wanted their lives, the only thought in their minds was to escape!

Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Chen was the only one present and that the Yanhuang Iron Brigade couldn't resist them, they were willing to risk everything for the slim chance of escaping!

It was almost their most coordinated moment. After exchanging a glance, Carlos suddenly lifted his leg, and two bluish-purple electric sparks, like golden snakes dancing wildly, slashed towards Yang Chen in a crisscross pattern!

Punk pressed a button on his watch and extended his hand forward. The air around him twisted visibly, and his body became blurred at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"No! Carlos! Don't run away!"

"You..." Tianlong was rendered speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense. Dan Zeng is dead, and the people from Blue Storm didn't take the Rulai's physical body. The body must still be in the temple. We should search the place. That's the real task!" Tsunami said.

Tianlong chuckled, "Now that that scumbag Duanjian is dead, you, Tsunami, the bespectacled man, can finally become the team leader. Not bad, not bad. I think you have more potential than Duanjian."

"Don't mention that beast. How could he ever compare to our Leader Tsunami, right, Boss Tsunami?" Gale immediately started buttering up.

Having barely escaped death, everyone was naturally in good spirits. Seeing them banter, Tsunami felt a bit embarrassed, while Leaf and Bigfoot, the two more composed members, smiled knowingly.

However, not everyone was so cheerful.

After putting the medicine bottle away in his pocket, Yang Chen walked to the doorway. There, although Cannon was seriously injured, his robust body was mostly fine, and he was grinning in pain but also in relief.

But on the other side, the little nun Huilin was holding her master, Abbess Yunmiao, and the situation didn't look good.

Huilin's flawless, beautiful face was covered in tears, invoking a deep sense of pity in those who saw her.

Abbess Yunmiao was trying to suppress the poison with her internal energy, but she couldn't eliminate it. Her face was pale, her lips were turning purple, and cold sweat was constantly breaking out. The situation was very grim.

Seeing Abbess Yunmiao's dire condition, everyone noticed Yang Chen walking over. Their faces turned anxious, especially Tianlong, who hurriedly ran to Yang Chen and awkwardly said, "Yang Chen, Abbess Yunmiao is in such a bad state. Don't take this opportunity to seek revenge on her. She may not have treated you well, but she's poisoned. Let us take her to detoxify first."

Yang Chen curled his lip and helplessly pushed the big man aside, "What revenge? I'm here to heal her."

"Heal her?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Yang Chen squatted down and said to Huilin, who was holding onto Abbess Yunmiao tightly, "Huilin, give your master to me. I'll heal her."

Huilin wiped her tears and, with a mix of fear and distrust, looked at Yang Chen pitifully, "Really?"

"Hey, little silly pig, if I wanted to harm you, do you think I'd waste so many words? One slap would be enough to settle it all, right?"

Huilin thought about it and agreed. Hesitantly, she let go of the unconscious Abbess Yunmiao and handed her over to Yang Chen.

After positioning Abbess Yunmiao, Yang Chen placed a hand on her back. He didn't sit cross-legged; he just lazily sat on the threshold, looking bored as he held one hand on Abbess Yunmiao's back, staying still.

Seeing everyone still watching him with suspicion, Yang Chen said impatiently, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen internal energy healing before? Go find the Rulai's physical body!"

With that, the group dispersed to search for the hidden Rulai's body.

Only the seriously injured Cannon and the worried Huilin stayed at the entrance of the hall, watching Yang Chen quietly heal Abbess Yunmiao.

After about ten minutes, the Yanhuang Iron Brigade finally found the hidden golden statue of Rulai's physical body in a cellar. They carefully escorted it back to the camp with the military.

Night Wolf arrived belatedly. Upon learning what had happened in the hall, he almost went to whip the corpse of the already dead Duanjian!

A tumultuous episode on the border of Yanxia was thus calmed by Yang Chen's sudden intervention.

However, for Yang Chen himself, it seemed that trouble was not far off.

About half an hour later, the poison in Abbess Yunmiao's body was finally neutralized by Yang Chen's healing method. Abbess Yunmiao's complexion became much rosier and returned to normal.

Seeing her master's color improve, the little nun Huilin almost jumped for joy on the spot, and she looked at Yang Chen with much more affection.

But as soon as Abbess Yunmiao woke up, she suddenly turned around, her eyes red and teary, looking at Yang Chen with sorrow. She asked, "Who are you really? What is your relationship with Song Tianxing?!"
