Chapter 752 Li Chen Enters That Place, He Is the Most Dangerous One! (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

What Li Chen learned was mostly the basic techniques and some special abilities of the half-elf race.

However, his level of skill was so high that he had reached the point where he understood all laws by understanding one law.

In his hands, even the most ordinary techniques for using elven power seemed to be imbued with a certain Daoist charm. When he unleashed them, they were not only incredibly powerful, but also carried a sense of turning decay into magic and returning to simplicity, inspiring awe in those who looked upon them.

However, its energy nature and operating method make it immediately recognizable as a pure half-elf heritage, even prompting knowledgeable people to wonder which lost ancient secret technique it is.
This is the core of Li Chen's disguise.

The core is real, but the appearance is extraordinary.

This time is different from when I played the role of the ancestral witch.

The identity of the Witch Ancestor was more of a passive intervention, following the trend.

His portrayal of the "Elven King bloodline" was a grand scheme he orchestrated himself.

Now that the core is ready, the superficial work must also be done well.

Since the role is to be a half-elf with the blood of the Elf King, the appearance also needs to be adjusted accordingly.

For Li Chen, minor techniques such as altering appearance and simulating pointed ears were nothing more than a piece of cake.

Unless one is at the peak of the Saint realm and, like the Pope, is well-versed in the laws of life and divinity, and examines the situation closely at close range, no one can detect the disguise.

Moreover, given the "strength" and "bloodline" he is about to display, how many people in this world would dare to risk public condemnation and question the authenticity of the appearance of someone who is suspected to be a Saint-level "Elf King bloodline" holder?

Most people would be too busy fawning over them to even dare to have a shred of doubt.

Li Chen was already handsome and had an unparalleled demeanor.

At this moment, his thoughts stirred slightly, and his facial features became softer and more elfin. The most noticeable change was that his ears became long and pointed, exuding a sense of mystery and nobility.

When he removed part of his disguise and appeared before the mother and daughter in his new "half-elf" appearance, Bilodis and Sylph were instantly stunned.

The man before me had silver hair that flowed like moonlight, and his skin was so white it seemed to be shrouded in holy light. His features were so perfect that they were like the most outstanding work of nature, especially his deep eyes, which seemed to hold the birth and death of stars as they opened and closed.

His pointed ears added to his endless mystery and majesty.

A faint, ethereal mist, like the morning fog, naturally enveloped him, emanating a pure, ancient, and sacred aura that inspired people to bow down in worship.

"The Elf King! Reincarnated!" Sylph murmured unconsciously.

Bilodis held her breath, her eyes filled with shock and fascination.

It took the mother and daughter a while to recover from the extreme visual and emotional impact, and they became even more convinced of Li Chen's identity.

Li Chen looked at Bilodis and asked, "Isn't your current husband, Elder Elron, coming back here?"

Bilodis quickly composed herself and respectfully replied, "My lord, he accepted the family's mission and led a team to collect the crystal cores of the Riftwind Demon Wolf. They have been gone for some time now. Based on the scale of the mission and past experience, he definitely won't be back for the next half month, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to the family for at least a month."

Li Chen nodded and continued, "'The Sighing Corridor,' what kind of place is that? Do you know anything about it?"

Sylph shook her head, indicating she didn't know. But upon hearing this, a deep sorrow and fear flashed in Bilodis's eyes. She whispered, "The Sighing Corridor is a sacred place in our race's legends, but it's also an extremely dangerous and perilous place. It's said to connect to the realm of wind elements, and nine out of ten people who enter never return."

Ancient clan legend tells of a puppet crafted by a mysterious and powerful wind spirit king, residing deep within the corridor. Offering the right tribute might grant its blessing, bestowing upon one the power to control the storms. My first husband, Sylph's biological father, entered the Corridor of Sighs in search of power and never returned.

At this point, her voice choked with emotion, clearly indicating that this memory was extremely painful for her.

She did not hide her experience of remarrying, as Sylph had mentioned before.

At this moment, Sylph couldn't help but interject with resentment, "Hmph! If you ask me, the reason my father died inside might have been because of my stepfather, Elron!"

"Silph! Don't talk nonsense!" Bilodis was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly tried to cover her daughter's mouth, fearing that her words would cause trouble.

“It’s alright,” Li Chen waved his hand, indicating that Bilodis didn’t need to be nervous, and said to Sylph, “Continue.”

With Li Chen backing her up, Bilodis dared not obstruct her anymore.

Encouraged, Sylph continued, "Elron and my father used to be on good terms, like brothers. But every time he came to our house, his eyes would always unconsciously wander to my mother, especially when my father was away on missions. He would come even more often then, showering her with concern and excessive attentiveness!"
The quest my father accepted to explore the Corridor of Sighs before his accident was supposedly strongly encouraged and recommended by Elron!

Upon hearing this, Li Chen understood.

The possibility that someone would frame another person to get their friend's wife cannot be ruled out.

At that time, Bilodis had lost her husband, was alone and destitute, and was perhaps also burdened with debt. Her decision to rely on the powerful and influential Elron was a last resort.

"Don't worry," Li Chen said, looking at the mother and daughter who had suffered so much, his tone carrying a reassuring strength, "With me here, you no longer need to fear anyone. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Thank you so much, sir!" The mother and daughter were moved to tears, as if they had found true support.

Finally, Li Chen determined the location where the "Elf King bloodline" would manifest in the world, and chose the Sighing Corridor!

Upon hearing this decision, Bilodis's face drained of color, her eyes filled with worry: "My lord! That place is too dangerous! The legends are not unfounded, you..."

Having finally found someone to rely on, Bilodis didn't want to lose them.

At least Li Chen treated her fairly well, much better than others.

Li Chen smiled slightly, a smile that carried an air of confidence and composure that seemed to look down on everything. He interrupted her, his voice calm yet containing an undeniable power: "Don't worry, I will come back."

In that instant, Bilodis seemed to see through the radiant figure before her her first husband from many years ago, a man who was equally spirited and made a promise to her before resolutely stepping into danger.

That's what he said too.

Tears blurred Bilodis's vision, but this time, besides worry, she felt an inexplicable and intense trust.

She nodded vigorously: "I will wait for you to come back."

Actually, Bilodis was overthinking it. When Li Chen entered that place, he was the one in the most danger.
