"The two of you need not be tense, I have no ill intentions; I was merely driven here by pursuers."
Lin Chen, seeing the anxious expression of the purple-robed maiden, immediately began to explain.
Upon hearing his words, Xia Wanxin slowly exhaled in relief, but the purple-robed maiden remained on high alert, her gaze fixed on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, observing this, did not offer further explanation. Instead, he kept his distance from the two women, found a spot, and began to sit in meditation to recover his spiritual power.
A flash of light appeared, and a Spiritual Puppet at the Ninth Level of the Heaven-reaching Realm materialized to stand guard beside Lin Chen.
In fact, during the previous pursuit by those five individuals, Lin Chen could have brought out his Spiritual Puppet and most likely would have triumphed in battle against them.
However, doing so would cause a huge commotion, attracting who knows how many martial artists to the scene.
