Chapter 2754: You Cannot Hesitate Anymore!

~16 min read 3,005 words

When Lin Wan'er piloted the light helicopter and took off again, and Ye Chen took the opportunity to take the Reshaping Pill, Wu Feiyan was pacing anxiously in her room at the headquarters of the Qing-Breaking Society, thousands of miles away.

She is already four hundred years old this year, but she looks like she is only in her thirties. Although she is full of charm and heroic spirit, her ruthless personality is almost written on her face at this moment due to excessive anxiety, making people feel awe-struck.

The last time Wu Feiyan felt this anxious was when she and Lin Zhulu were first chased into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains by the Qing army.

For so many years, although she hadn't found Lin Wan'er, this was after all a cat-and-mouse game that had lasted for three hundred years, and she had always played the role of the cat, so not finding Lin Wan'er wouldn't make her this anxious.

The root cause of her anxiety and unease at this moment was that two of her subordinates, the Earls, had been missing on the monitor for over an hour.

She had no idea what the two of them had experienced.

Right now, what Wu Feiyan worried about most was that these two Earls had met with misfortune.

The death of the Earl of Jiangong and the destruction of the entire dead soldier station in Cyprus had already triggered great panic within the Qing-Breaking Society. If these two Earls also met with misfortune, the Qing-Breaking Society would inevitably fall into a huge turmoil not seen in over three hundred years!

Just when she was incomparably anxious, there was a knock on the door, and an old man's respectful voice came from outside: "Lord, your subordinate Wu Tianlin requests an audience!"

Wu Feiyan said coldly: "Come in!"

After saying this, she waved her right hand into the void, and the heavy iron door opened automatically.

An old man in a long robe walked quickly to her. This person was Wu Tianlin.

Wu Tianlin was a direct descendant of the Wu family, the bloodline left by the son of Wu Feiyan's brother, Wu Feiyang. He is now one hundred and ten years old. Because he was the eldest son of that generation of the Wu family, he had been raised by Wu Feiyan by her side since childhood. He was highly valued by Wu Feiyan and was her greatest confidant, as well as the strategist for the entire Qing-Breaking Society.

As soon as he entered the room, Wu Tianlin said respectfully: "Reporting to the Lord, your subordinate has received some news from Jin Ling..."

Wu Feiyan shouted coldly and impatiently: "Speak quickly!"

Wu Tianlin said: "Your subordinate had people search for some information in the local network and short video accounts in Jin Ling. Tonight, there was constant thunder near the Wanliu Villa where the An family lives, and furthermore, an extremely intense loud noise erupted nearby. The loud noise was even heard clearly throughout Jin Ling..."

Wu Feiyan's expression tightened, and she asked in panic: "A loud noise?! What kind of loud noise?! Was it a thunderclap like last time, or a blasting sound like a bomb explosion?!"

Wu Tianlin said: "Reporting to the Lord, it was an explosion sound!"

Wu Feiyan frowned: "If it really was an explosion sound, it's possible the Earl of Changsheng has already sacrificed himself for our Qing-Breaking Society..."

Wu Tianlin exclaimed: "Lord... what kind of enemy could be powerful enough to force the Earl of Changsheng to self-detonate?!"

Wu Tianlin had tried to enter the Dao by Wu Feiyan's side since childhood. Although his talent wasn't considered very good, he could be considered to have barely entered the gate of cultivation. Plus, he himself was Wu Feiyan's confidant, so he knew very well the tricks Wu Feiyan had played in the Niwan Palaces of the four Earls.

Wu Feiyan was also quite worried at this time, saying to herself: "The Earl of Changsheng's strength is already quite remarkable, and he has the magic weapon I gave him, which is like adding wings to a tiger. If he really self-detonated, the person who forced him to do so must be much stronger than him..."

As she spoke, Wu Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a master in Jin Ling. Based on my understanding of the An family, they couldn't possibly have come into contact with such a powerful person, so what is the background of this person?"

Wu Tianlin couldn't help but ask: "Lord, your subordinate feels that this person should know the An family, otherwise why would he save the An family from fire and water at a critical moment?"

Wu Feiyan shook her head with a gloomy expression: "I don't know either. If the Earl of Changsheng really self-detonated, the opponent must be a stronger cultivator. But I have had people secretly monitor the An family for many years and haven't found that the An family has any relationship with any cultivator."

Wu Tianlin added: "Then could it be that the Earl of Changsheng accidentally offended a local master in Jin Ling?"

Wu Feiyan pondered for a moment and said: "It's not impossible. Two days ago, the Earl of Changsheng told me that he accidentally discovered a magic weapon in Jin Ling. Since a magic weapon appeared, it's very likely that a cultivator exists. And I am now starting to suspect that the magic weapon the Earl of Changsheng discovered might be a trap set by the other party long ago. The so-called magic weapon was just bait to lure the Earl of Changsheng into the hook!"

Wu Tianlin exclaimed: "If that's really the case, then didn't the other party guess that the Earl of Changsheng was going to Jin Ling?!"

"It's possible." Wu Feiyan's expression was complex. As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "Tonight I had the Earl of Dingyuan secretly follow the Earl of Changsheng. If the Earl of Changsheng was forced to self-detonate, then she is probably also in bad shape!"

Wu Tianlin widened his eyes: "If the Earl of Dingyuan also meets with misfortune, the loss to our Qing-Breaking Society will be too great! You have cultivated for so many years to cultivate these four Earls. If three Earls meet with accidents, the people below will definitely lose their footing..."

Wu Feiyan said coldly: "Lose their footing? Remember, if the Earl of Changsheng and the Earl of Dingyuan both meet with accidents, whoever in the Five Military Governor's Offices loses their footing, cut off one of their feet! If cutting off one foot doesn't work, cut off two!"

Wu Tianlin said respectfully: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Wu Feiyan added: "If both of them meet with accidents, you must strictly block the news from those below. Whoever dares to leak the news, I will take their life!"

Wu Tianlin arched his hands and said: "Lord, rest assured, your subordinate will definitely convey your words!"

As he spoke, Wu Tianlin knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Lord, your subordinate has a piece of advice!"

Wu Feiyan said coldly: "Speak!"

Wu Tianlin said: "Lord! If the Earl of Changsheng and the Earl of Dingyuan really die in Jin Ling, your subordinate boldly suggests that you let the three elders of the Elder Council come out of seclusion early and order them to go to Jin Ling. As long as the three of them join forces, they will definitely be able to kill that master hidden in the dark!"

Wu Feiyan's pair of sword-like eyebrows instantly tightened, and she said: "The three elders have been in seclusion for over a hundred years and are at a critical stage of opening their Niwan Palaces. In another ten or twenty years, the three of them will open their Niwan Palaces one after another, and the strength of the Qing-Breaking Society will be able to go to the next level. If they are allowed to come out of seclusion now, it will inevitably interrupt their cultivation progress, which might push back the time for them to open their Niwan Palaces by another twenty years. This decision cannot be made lightly..."

As she spoke, Wu Feiyan added: "You know, the three elders are my hidden trump card. For over a hundred years, the only people who know of their existence are five, besides you, there are the four Earls. I cannot use this card unless it's a last resort!"

Wu Tianlin hurriedly said: "Lord! If the Earl of Changsheng and the Earl of Dingyuan meet with misfortune today, your subordinate can conclude that the person who killed them, the person who killed the Earl of Jiangong, the person who saved the An family in New York, and the person who saved Lin Wan'er in Northern Europe, are absolutely in the same camp!"

"In this way, it proves that the other party is not just one person, but a huge organization like the Qing-Breaking Society!"

"They not only have traditional masters like cultivators, but can also skillfully use modern weapons like close-in weapon systems. It can be said that they are developing comprehensively. If they are allowed to continue to develop, it will be a huge threat to the future of the Qing-Breaking Society!"

After a pause, Wu Tianlin continued: "Moreover, recently, they have been winning one after another, with a momentum of breaking bamboo. If they are not strangled, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future! Lord, this crisis is unprecedented, you cannot hesitate anymore!"

Wu Feiyan fell into a moment of silence.

Wu Tianlin's worry made her anxiety and unease even stronger. She also knew that what Wu Tianlin said was not unreasonable. If she really let the other party continue to grow in the dark, it would be a huge threat to her in the future!

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said: "You immediately notify the Central Military Governor's Office and let them immediately send the best scouts to take a plane to Jin Ling to investigate!"

"If the Earl of Changsheng really self-detonated, the huge power will inevitably leave an explosion trace with a radius of hundreds of meters. After dawn tomorrow, as long as they fly over the Wanliu Villa, they will definitely discover the explosion site!"

"If it is confirmed that the Earl of Changsheng has self-detonated, I will let the three elders come out of seclusion! Let the three of them go to Jin Ling! Let the three of them join forces to kill the An family. If that person is not dead, let the three of them join forces to find that person and everyone behind him, kill them one by one, smash them into ten thousand pieces, and eliminate the root of the trouble forever!"

On the other side.

The helicopter piloted by Lin Wan'er had already flown directly above the center of the explosion.

Because Ye Chen had already taken the Reshaping Pill, his body was almost unable to move, so she piloted the helicopter, turned on the searchlights on the fuselage, and flew at a low altitude around the entire valley with the nose of the helicopter tilted downward, while checking the situation below with the lights.

At this time, Ye Chen was feeling the repair and reorganization of his bones, organs, muscles, and meridians in his body. Fortunately, his injuries were not as serious as Li Yalin's back then, so the whole process was much faster.

And at the same time, in a natural rock crevice formed by the cracking of a giant rock at the edge of the valley, Yun Ruge, the Earl of Dingyuan, was listening to the roar of the helicopter in the valley, feeling extremely uneasy.

At this moment, her body had already suffered heavy damage, and her meridians, dantian, and even her internal organs had all suffered extremely serious injuries. She had gone through all kinds of hardships to crawl under this giant rock to hide temporarily.

Originally, she planned to hide here and use a few days to recover slightly, and then find a way to leave.

In her judgment, although Ye Chen saw her the moment the explosion happened, the power of the Earl of Changsheng's explosion was so strong that Ye Chen must have died without a doubt.

Therefore, she could also conclude that no one knew of her existence, and she could safely heal her injuries here.

But she never expected that just as her wishful thinking was about to succeed, another helicopter came, and the helicopter kept circling in the valley, seemingly looking for something.

She thought to herself: "Could it be that those people can't find Ye Chen and are unwilling to give up, so they came to look for him again?"

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved: "As long as they aren't looking for me, it's fine!"

Immediately, she suddenly thought of the Lord and exclaimed in her heart: "Today the Earl of Changsheng self-detonated and I also went missing. The Lord will definitely find a way to investigate clearly. I must not let her know that I am still alive!"

So, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket with difficulty.

The phone was completely shattered and deformed at this time, and even the battery had bulged due to the deformation. Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this phone couldn't possibly continue to feed back her location to the Lord.

About ten minutes passed, and Ye Chen finally recovered from the efficacy of the Reshaping Pill. He twisted his neck and stretched lazily in the narrow cabin, and the whole person no longer had the appearance of being seriously injured and weak.

Lin Wan'er on the side exclaimed: "Young Master, you have already recovered?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "The body has recovered, but the spiritual energy hasn't."

As he spoke, he took out two Peiyuan Pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

Once the pills entered his abdomen, they turned into pure spiritual energy and spread throughout his body along his repaired meridians and dantian.

Ye Chen felt the surging spiritual energy returning, and the whole person immediately experienced an indescribable comfort.

Lin Wan'er on the side felt the fullness of spiritual energy in his body again and said happily: "It seems you have completely recovered!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh: "The person has recovered, but that ring probably still needs a lot of spiritual energy. This can only be done slowly."

As he spoke, he asked Lin Wan'er: "Miss Lin, did you find anything in this valley?"

Lin Wan'er said: "I just scanned a few times at a low altitude and didn't see the Earl of Dingyuan's body. She is likely still alive. And when I flew at a low altitude, the strong wind from the helicopter could blow away the grass and trees. After several patrols, there shouldn't be anyone hiding in the flat areas of the valley. This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The Earl of Dingyuan should have suffered heavy injuries, and the possibility of her crawling out of the mountains by herself is almost zero. She is likely hiding at the foot of the mountains all around. We can go down and search carefully."

Ye Chen nodded and said in agreement: "Miss Lin's speculation is very reasonable. Since that's the case, I'll trouble you to bring the helicopter as close to the foot of the mountain as possible, and I'll investigate with spiritual energy."

"Okay!" Lin Wan'er immediately lowered the helicopter's altitude to the lowest, flying slowly almost brushing against the treetops at the foot of the mountain.

And Ye Chen released spiritual energy to his surroundings to perceive the whereabouts of the Earl of Dingyuan.

At this time, Yun Ruge was at the other end of the valley. Seeing that the helicopter not only didn't leave but started to lower its altitude and approach the direction where she was bit by bit along the foot of the mountain, her heart instantly jumped to her throat.

She knew her current situation very well. If she were discovered, she wouldn't need any masters; even a ten-year-old child could easily kill her.

Moreover, she also knew very well that if she fell into the hands of the An family, the outcome would probably be even more miserable!

Because the Qing-Breaking Society killed the An family's An Chengxi and her husband Ye Changying twenty years ago, buried a dark line in the An family for twenty years, and even tried to exterminate the An family twice. Moreover, An Chengxi and Ye Changying's son, Ye Chen, also died today under the power of the Earl of Changsheng's self-detonation. At this time, the An family must regard the Qing-Breaking Society as their mortal enemy. If she were caught by them, wouldn't she have only a dead end?!

Nervous, she struggled to move her body to hide deeper, hoping to use the cover of the giant rock to escape the helicopter's search.

She thought that the other party was just an ordinary person who didn't understand spiritual energy, and the other party definitely wasn't looking for her, but for Ye Chen. Therefore, she concluded that the other party would at most look at the helicopter to see if there were any whereabouts of Ye Chen, and wouldn't notice whether anyone was hiding under the giant rock.

But she never expected that Ye Chen wasn't looking for her with his vision, but with the perception of spiritual energy!

Lin Wan'er piloted the helicopter and searched all the way along the foot of the mountain. When the helicopter was still two or three hundred meters away from Yun Ruge, Ye Chen's expression suddenly tightened, and then, he pointed to a dark place on the front left and said to Lin Wan'er: "Over there!" ===== CHAPTER 2755 =====
