"Um..." Although at this moment, Li Chan felt that she was in a dangerous situation, she was not foolish enough to reveal her family's secrets to a person she had just met.
However, if Chu Feng left here now, and those old couple were actually traitors, then she might die immediately. So she was really in a difficult position.
"Tell me the truth. The medicine that this monster is taking, if enough medicine can be gathered, I can neutralize it. At that time, who fed it the medicine, or what people it met before the transformation, will all be resolved. Who wanted to harm you will also be known, and perhaps evidence can be obtained as well."
"Of course, if you don't believe me, just pretend that I haven't said anything. I have always disliked forcing others to do things."
Chu Feng smiled and finished speaking, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Sir, don't go."
Seeing this, Li Chan immediately became anxious and hurriedly grabbed Chu Feng's sleeve again, then said, "I believe you. Please stay and help me."
"Here is not a place to talk. Follow me." Seeing Li Chan give in, Chu Feng's mind acted, and the dragon appeared beneath his feet. At the same time, he waved his long sleeves and took Li Chan onto the dragon. Then the dragon shot straight up to the sky and quickly left the Wolf Tooth Mountains, arriving at a secluded place.
"Sir, what martial art did you just perform? It was so fast. I have never seen such an outstanding technique."
After experiencing the power of the Dragon Sprint Technique, Li Chan was filled with astonishment and even more admired Chu Feng's strength. She felt even more that the man in front of her was not to be underestimated and was very powerful.
For Li Chan's praise, Chu Feng merely smiled slightly, because he deliberately showed this method, with the aim of making Li Chan more convinced of him and believing that he could help her.
So, Chu Feng did not explain anything. Instead, he said, "Tell me, what happened to you or in your home?"
In this situation, Li Chan still hesitated for a while, but in the end, weighing the current situation, she decided to tell Chu Feng the truth.
After Li Chan's narration, Chu Feng couldn't help but be extremely happy. It turned out that the so-called treasure of the Li and Ma families was indeed related to the celestial creatures.
The cause of the matter dates back to six hundred years ago...
Five hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Ma family and the ancestors of the Li family were both from humble backgrounds. With the martial arts techniques widely spread in the Eastern Sea, they became martial artists. However, due to mediocre talents, they all stopped at the Spirit Martial realm and could not make any progress.
The Spirit Martial realm's cultivation was quite common in the Eastern Sea and could only be regarded as the most humble existence. The ancestors of the Ma and Li families naturally could not achieve any success by relying on the Spirit Martial realm's cultivation.
At that time, they were extremely poor and destitute, unable to even marry a wife, being despised by others. There were only two sworn brothers who relied on each other for survival, hunting in the Wolf Tooth Mountains for a living.
But one day, the ancestors of the Ma family and the ancestors of the Li family discovered a seriously injured person in the Wolf Tooth Mountains. They realized that this person might be a martial arts master. If he was saved, it might change their destinies. So the two of them carried him home and took good care of him for more than three years.
It can be said that hard work pays off. On a certain autumn day, he finally woke up and, with the help of special medicine and abilities, he quickly recovered. It turned out that he was indeed a martial arts master.
To thank the Ma ancestors and the Li ancestors for saving their lives, this martial artist left a huge fortune for them and also taught them advanced martial arts methods and a lot of training resources.
Before leaving, not only did he use his own skills to help the ancestors of the Ma and Li families improve their cultivation from the Spirit Martial realm to the Heaven Martial realm, but he also told them that there was a special treasure being nurtured in the Wolf Tooth Mountains. However, the time is not yet ripe for this moment. The treasure cannot be used by humans yet. But if too much time passes, the treasure will develop its own intelligence and gain powerful strength, which is very difficult to deal with.
So, that mysterious master placed a special seal to hide the entrance of the treasure and left two keys that could open the barrier, respectively given to the ancestors of the Ma family and the Li family.
Before leaving, he instructed the two, that after six hundred years, the barrier would be opened. At that time, they would surely gain certain benefits within it. But do not be too early or too late. Given their attainments, it would be best if it were six hundred years later. Otherwise, it would be a waste.
After that, the mysterious master left, and with all that was bestowed upon him, the ancestors of the Ma family and the Li family rose quickly, not only married and had children, but also became famous figures in the local area.
However, just a few decades later, their lifespan had come to an end, and they simply could not wait for five hundred years to see the mysterious treasure sealed within.
So, before dying, they jointly occupied the Wolf Tooth Mountain and informed future generations about the treasure within the Wolf Tooth Mountain, instructing them to open the treasure at a specific year and month according to the instructions of the mysterious master, in order to strengthen the Li family and the Ma family.
Now, it is five hundred years later, and the Li family and the Ma family still have a very good relationship, and they are preparing to open the treasure within the Wolf Tooth Mountain.
However, Li Chan did not trust the head of the Ma family and thought that the head of the Ma family had selfish intentions. In recent years, they have begun to spend a lot of money to invite many experts. Now, the overall strength of the Ma family has greatly surpassed that of the Li family.
If the treasure is really opened, she is worried that the Ma family will take the opportunity to eliminate the Li family and take the treasure for themselves.
So Li Chan has been obstructing from the beginning, delaying the opening of the treasure. During this period, she is also spending a lot of money to invite experts to join her family.
However, Li Chan also knows that she will anger the Ma family. As a result, today a dangerous scene occurred. If it weren't for Chu Feng's intervention, Li Chan would have surely died.
So, Li Chan immediately thought that the monster was an act of the Ma family, and the old couple were the ones who betrayed her.
"To be honest, I just heard the conversation of those old couple. Just as you guessed, it is indeed the Ma family that wants to deal with you, and it is indeed they who betrayed you. As for the reason, it seems that his son has done something wrong, so the Ma family has used him as a bargaining chip."
After learning the situation, Chu Feng smiled at Li Chan. He already knew that Li Chan had no way out now and would surely ask him for help.
Just as expected, upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Li Chan's eyebrows tightened even more. She had already confirmed her suspicions and concerns. Because that elderly couple did have a son who was not very successful.
"Sir, please help me. As long as you protect me back to the Li family, I will surely offer you a large sum of money as a reward," Li Chan pleaded earnestly.
However, in response to Li Chan's plea, Chu Feng smiled calmly and then said, "I can protect you back to the Li family. You can also tell your family the truth, but do you have any evidence? Do you ensure that your family will believe you? Even if they believe you, does the Li family have the strength to compete with the Ma family?"
