Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1221

"Master Chen, let's slow down!" Dacia sounded nervous as no one would be willing to risk their lives.

Fade smiled faintly and reassured them, "Don't worry. You guys won't be affected when I break the formation."

"But-"

Dacia wanted to persuade him further, but at that moment, Fade had already gathered his energy and slammed it toward the stone door.

At the sight of this, Callum immediately turned pale. He sprinted out of the cave without a second thought. He didn't want to die here along with Fade.

The other disciples also started running and followed Callum out of the cave. As for Dacia, he hesitated for a moment before he was ready to run for his life too. However, just then, Fade's palm had already made contact with the formation on the stone door.

A dazzling light burst out the next second, followed closely by a thick and vast ripple of energy expanding from the stone door and filling the entire cave instantly. Those who had fled from the scene felt the energy rushing at them from their backs, and they all blanched at once.

Callum looked especially petrified as he cried out, "I'm going to die!"

The others wore expressions of helplessness as they slumped to the ground.

Dacia, the last one to turn tail, knew that it was futile for him to escape now. He simply collapsed to the ground, ready to face his fate.

Yet, the energy he felt only blasted through his back. Nothing else happened after that, leaving Dacia in bewilderment.

His body was not crushed to death by the impact, nor had a single hair on his head been moved by the great force.

Immediately, Dacia exclaimed in delight, "I'm fine! That energy doesn't harm us!"

Hearing this, only then the disciples who were running ahead calmed down. They were surprised to find out that they were indeed safe from the blast.

Callum, who had been the first to flee, also stopped running. After he felt the shockwave course through him, he turned around in surprise, unscathed. He asked in disbelief, "Are we really fine? Am I not injured at all?"

At this time, Dacia rushed toward Fade and inquired enthusiastically, "Master Chen, how did you do it? Why were we not affected at all?"

Fade answered blandly, "I told you it would be fine. I've found a way to break the formation."

"But-" Dacia stuttered as he recalled what Callum had said previously. He glanced back at Callum, who was still confused.

Callum was dumbstruck. He had never expected Fade to break the formation this easily. This proved that Fade was not only beyond him in terms of understanding formations by book, but also in the application of the positive energy. Fade had exceeded his expectations.

However, there was one thing that Callum did not know.

Fade could have actually broken the formation forcefully using his Heaven Level skills.

Nevertheless, after taking into consideration the treasures hidden beyond the formation, Fade sought out an alternative that would not damage what's hidden on the other side of the stone door. Instead, he decided to take his time and use such a crude method.

Although it took him some effort to figure things out, he was still an exceptionally fast learner compared to the others.

Shaking off the confusion, Callum's expressions shifted with his thoughts. He pondered, "If Fade's true prowess is beyond my expectations, does this mean I should give up on negotiating with him? I couldn't possibly be of any use to him now... Would he just get rid of me by killing me?'

Callum grew increasingly worried as these thoughts lingered on his mind.

He stole a glance at the cave entrance not far away from them, and he started planning his escape.

He could no longer bear to stay here. He was tempted to flee.

Just as he was about to take the first step, Fade uttered coldly without looking back at him, "Those of you who want to escape, you'll regret your decision. If you step out of the cave, only one thing awaits you— death!"

A chill crept down Callum's spine at the warning. He withdrew his foot and then hastily turned around. With a fearful look on his face, he peered in Fade's direction.

Fade turned around and waved at them, ushering, "Come here!"

The crowd's faces paled, but they dared not to disobey. Hence, they started walking stiffly toward him.

Fade was not going to let them leave this easily, especially when he had not gotten his hands on the treasure. If they were to leak any information after escaping, they would bring unnecessary trouble for him. On the other hand, these people could still serve Fade by charting out the path ahead for him.

Therefore, Fade pointed to the large crack on the stone door and ordered, "You guys go ahead."

Hearing this, Callum and the others turned pale. They knew that Fade was using them to explore the way. However, unwilling they may be, they had no other choice. They could only enter carefully into the stone door.

There was barely any light inside. They turned on their lighting equipment and saw a slope running downwards before them.

As they continued further in, the surroundings became increasingly damp and cold. The sound of running water could be heard faintly.

After walking for approximately 15 minutes, Callum and the others were already shivering from the cold. Their faces had become extremely pallid, and every step forward became extremely difficult forthem. On the contrary, Fade appeared to be increasingly excited. The damp and cold surroundings must have meant that they were on the right path towards the Hallow Ice Spring.

They continued for another 5 minutes. Finally, they reached the end of the slope and a stone pit appeared before them.

In the stone pit was a shallow pool of water, which gave off a faint blue hue. The pool water ebbed slowly, emitting chill waves and causing the ambient temperature to drop even further.

Fade's eyes lit up at the first sight of this pool. He was certain that this was the Hallow Ice Spring he had been searching for.

He quickly walked up to the pool and observed carefully to make sure that nothing was amiss. As Fade turned his head around, he saw that Callum and the others were almost collapsing from the cold. So, he waved his hand at them and said, "Head outside and wait for me there!"

Upon hearing this, Callum and the others immediately rushed out as if they had been granted amnesty.

As they finally returned to the cave, they felt comfortable once more.

Presently, Callum was shaken. He hadn't known that the Hallow Ice Spring could be this powerful. Even if he had managed to break past the formation without Fade, he still wouldn't have been able to retrieve anything from the Hallow Ice Spring. The cold emitting from it was not something he could withstand with his physical capabilities.

With this thought in mind, Callum no longer felt disappointed at the fact that Fade was snatching the Hallow Ice Spring from him.

In the depths of the cold cave, Fade, who was leaning beside the pool, gazed at the spring while his face gleamed with elation. He said to himself, "With the Hallow Ice Spring, I can finally bud and mature the Ice Lotus seed."
