Chapter 660 Divination

"Can it save my life?" Athri looked puzzled.

Can just a piece of paper really save someone's life? Isn't that a bit too mystical?

"Yes, this 'cunning plan' is something a wise person named Zhuge Liang from our Dragon Kingdom often uses. It only works when opened at the most critical moment. If you open it prematurely, it becomes useless."

Wang Chao patted Athri on the shoulder, emphasizing, "Athri, we're like brothers, and I will never harm you."

"I believe you." Athri nodded and carefully stored the paper.

Then, they embraced for a moment, and Athri turned and left.

"Hey!" Wang Chao suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Wang, what's up?" Athri turned back, looking puzzled.

Wang Chao hesitated for a while, then finally made up his mind and said in a low voice, "Here's one last piece of advice for you. No matter what happens, never run into the woods."

"What?" Athri was even more confused.

What was Wang Chao talking about?

He was getting more and more puzzled.

"Listen to me, remember it!" Wang Chao said earnestly.

"Alright."

Seeing Wang Chao so serious, Athri's expression changed slightly. He also solemnly promised, "I'll listen to you, and I definitely won't run into the woods."

"Brother, do you need anything else?"

"No, I wish you a safe journey." Wang Chao waved.

Athri smiled and didn't continue the conversation. He turned and left.

Wang Chao watched Athri's retreating figure, his expression complicated, murmuring to himself, "This is all I can do. Whether you can survive or not depends on your destiny."

At this moment, Zhang Long walked out of the room and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's going on? What do you mean by 'whether you can survive'?"

"Nothing," Wang Chao shook his head.

He had learned some techniques for analyzing people's physiognomy from his master. Although not extremely proficient, he was skilled enough. When he examined Athri's face just now, he noticed that there was a dark aura forming at the center of Athri's eyebrows. This indicated that Athri might face a life-threatening crisis in the near future. From the positions of his temples and eyebrows, the darkest aura was in the east.

The east represented wood, which indicated that Athri might encounter a life-threatening danger in a place with a lot of wood. In other words, a forest!

So, Wang Chao warned him in this way, hoping Athri could avoid a catastrophe. However, Wang Chao didn't explain all of this to Zhang Long. Instead, he returned to his room, glanced around to ensure that no one was eavesdropping, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Liu Yifei saw that Wang Chao had returned unharmed, her eyes lit up. She anxiously asked, "Brother Wang, have you dealt with those bad people?"

Shen Bing also let out a long sigh of relief, her tension easing. As long as Wang Chao was okay, that was more than enough.

But just as the two women were about to relax and smile, Wang Chao suddenly had a drastic change in his expression. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his face turning pale.

"Wang Chao!"

Shen Bing's expression changed drastically. She rushed to support Wang Chao, her eyes filled with shock and worry. "What happened to you?"

She anxiously wiped away the sweat from her forehead, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Her expression was even more nervous and scared than when she had faced the red-cloaked envoy.

Zhang Long's face also changed, and he quickly helped Wang Chao up onto a chair, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

Wang Chao waved his hand and said, "Give me a glass of water first."

Shen Bing immediately hurried to fetch a glass of water and handed it to Wang Chao.

After drinking a big gulp of water, Wang Chao sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and began to meditate, regulating his disordered qi and blood while explaining, "Don't worry, I won't die."

Just now, during the acupuncture treatment of Shen Feng, he had encountered the fiercest backlash from the spirit insect. It had fiercely attacked the needles imbued with Genius Qi, and even attempted to attack Shen Feng's brain to take them both down.

This spirit insect was not an ordinary creature; its death throes were extremely terrifying. It wasn't just trying to attack Shen Feng, but it was also trying to harm him.

This battle was more dangerous than any war he had experienced in the last eight years.

Once he lost control, allowing the spirit insect to break free or even the slightest deviation in controlling the spirit insect's counterattack, Shen Feng would die on the spot.

Therefore, he had to be extremely focused.

To suppress and eliminate the spirit insect, as well as control its backlash, he had consumed a significant amount of Genius Qi, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Later, when the four Great King-level experts arrived, Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and the others faced life-threatening situations.

He had to forcefully support his body, put up a show of strength, and exhaust the last of his power to completely repel the red-cloaked envoy and the four Great King-level experts.

However, during this process, the red-cloaked envoy had also made a move on him, giving him a slight internal injury, with his qi and blood shaken and his breathing disordered.

He had originally wanted to go all-in, killing the chicken to warn the monkey, completely eliminating these people, and deterring the hidden assassins.

But he had never expected the red-cloaked envoy to be so shrewd; he withdrew immediately without engaging in a direct confrontation.

Now, he had finally relaxed when he realized no one was observing them. The tension that had been coiled up like a taut string was released, and his injuries could no longer be contained, leading to the spurt of blood.

However, it was just a minor injury; there was no danger to his life.

"But..."

This was the first time Shen Bing had seen Wang Chao so weak. She was red-eyed and full of guilt. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for my family's affairs, you wouldn't be like this. I'm sorry, sob!"

She said this, filled with guilt, and started crying, blaming herself.

It was all because of her family's problems that Wang Chao ended up like this, so it was her fault.

Wang Chao smiled and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. "Silly girl, it's not anyone's fault."

"Okay, stop crying. If you really want to help me, the best way is to go to the suitcase in the corner and find the healing elixir. Give it to me to take."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Bing immediately nodded and ran to the corner, opening the suitcase and retrieving the healing elixir that Wang Chao had hidden inside.

This was Wang Chao's suitcase.

Besides the essential clothes and toiletries, there were many bottles and jars.

Shen Bing picked up many pill bottles and asked with a puzzled expression, "Wang Chao, which one is the healing medicine?"

Wang Chao glanced over and said, "The third bottle from the left."

Shen Bing found the bottle of elixir, walked over, and handed it to Wang Chao.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance immediately spread, refreshing and invigorating everyone at the scene.

Wang Chao poured out eight pills and swallowed them directly, then handed the remaining ones to Zhang Long. "Uncle Long, this is good stuff. Eat them quickly."
