Chapter 832: Boom Boom Boom!
Chapter 832: Boom Boom Boom!
There was a long silence around, and Zhe Feng said, "Really! We have no reason to deceive you. Right now, Mr. Qi is in extreme danger."
Long Yue’s face looked extremely grim. She glanced at Zhe Feng and said, "Can this Soul Pearl locate where You Su is?"
"How could it? It only extracts a bit of his soul power, condensed into a pearl through special means. It can see if he’s alive or dead but can’t show where he is."
Broken Jade was cross-armed, speaking from the side; he seemed indifferent, but he was genuinely worried about Li Qingmu’s safety in his heart.
Long Yue was already anxious and on fire. If it was truly as Zhe Feng and others said, and A Mu was targeted by You Su, then he was really in great danger now.
"No, I have to find him!"
Previously, Long Yue thought about waiting here for him to come back, but now, in this situation, how could she still wait?
She looked towards Qi Yun, this emperor, even after stepping down, his wisdom and vision were unmatched.
"Father?"
Qi Yun had not spoken until Long Yue looked at him, then he slowly said, "If you want to go, then go!"
Long Yue gazed at her pair of children. Yaoyao was still young, knew nothing, just lay in the swaddling clothes nibbling her fingers. Rui’er was already four years old; he seemed to sense something and looked up at Long Yue.
He jogged to Long Yue’s side, hugging her leg: "Mom..."
The milky voice could tear anyone’s heart apart.
Long Yue quickly held Rui’er and softly said, "Good boy, Rui’er, don’t cry. Mom will be right back. Mom’s going to bring Dad back."
"Mom, you said before that you would bring Dad back, but you were gone for two years."
Rui’er’s words twisted Long Yue’s heart fiercely. She smiled bitterly and stroked Rui’er’s little head, "Don’t worry, this time Mom will definitely be back soon, alright?"
Rui’er blinked his big, dark eyes, looking at Long Yue, his expression seemed to say, "I don’t believe it!"
His manner made Long Yue feel both distressed and sour.
She bent down, kissed her precious son lightly, and said, "Be good, listen well, stay with your grandfather and grandmother, okay?"
Rui’er looked at Long Yue, then at Qi Yun, and nodded obediently, "Okay."
This young son was so well-behaved, seeing him so obedient made Long Yue feel all the more guilty towards her children.
She stood up and said, "Father, I’m afraid I have to trouble you again."
Qi Yun smiled gently, "No problem, I came here to enjoy myself and to play with the grandchildren anyway, just leave Rui’er and his sibling to me."
"Thank you, Father!"
With that, Long Yue turned to Zhe Feng and Broken Jade, "Let’s set off to chase after A Mu now!"
"Alright!"
Time waited for no one, and Long Yue quickly packed up her things and set off with Broken Jade and the others.
As soon as they left, a figure appeared alongside Qi Yun, a Silver Armor Guard.
"Master?"
"On your side, you must ensure Mu’er’s safety, understand?"
"Understood!"
The shadow responded and then vanished quickly.
Qi Yun walked to the courtyard door, looking in the direction where Long Yue and the others had disappeared, frowning. Over the years, he’d been searching for that hidden mastermind stirring the world into chaos, and now he found him, but he escaped again. The trials ahead were unavoidable.
"I hope... they can get through this safely this time."
Qi Yun said faintly.
"Big bear!"
Rong Si appeared behind Qi Yun, looking at him with a pure and innocent face, "What’s happened, why are you so serious? Don’t frown; it makes you look older!"
Saying this, Rong Si reached out her fair little hand to smooth the furrows on Qi Yun’s brow.
Qi Yun enjoyed this peaceful and happy life with his beloved. He slowly said, "Alright, I won’t think about things, let’s go, and take a look at the scenery over there."
"Okay!"
Qi Yun walked at a brisk pace forward, and as he stepped out of the door, a flash of green light unwittingly crossed Rong Si’s eyes.
However, even she did not realize it!
...
"Crack, crack!"
"Boom!"
Lightning kept striking down, and it was a torrential downpour all around, with endless rain curtains seemingly ready to swallow people!
Li Qingmu entered the woodlands, and as he trod on the muddy mountain road, he immediately felt that the terrain was slippery and showed signs of looseness.
This indicated that even the slightest sound could possibly lead to unthinkably disastrous consequences.
He wasn’t sure what exactly those people intended to do, but he had a vague idea that they wanted to blow up this forest, causing a terrifying mountain flood. This would not only result in heavy casualties but also delay disaster relief, making the rebellion in the Southern Territory more chaotic and intense.
If luck wasn’t on his side, he could also undoubtedly perish here!
"This place must have a spot where gunpowder is buried; it must be found!"
Li Qingmu pondered, shifting his steps, searching through this forest.
The dense rain was all around him, but he paid no heed. At the age of fourteen, on that rainy night, he was in a wretched state, almost killed when a few men in black mistook him for the Capital Governor ’s nephew.
But things were different now; his martial arts were exceptionally powerful, his True Qi abundant, and even in the rain, he could walk leisurely as if the raindrops couldn’t touch him.
Like this, Li Qingmu continued to roam the forest, trying to find the place where people dug pits and buried guns.
However, though he searched for a long time, he still couldn’t find it.
"If only You’er were here, maybe he could find it."
He thought of You’er and then thought of his Yue’er.
He must resolve this matter here quickly and get back to Yue’er and the children!
Suddenly, Li Qingmu’s eyes narrowed as he caught a faint whiff of gunpowder—it was... the smell of explosives!
Why is this happening?
He was confused. How could there be such a strong smell of explosives on a rainy day? Could it be... that the enemy was already setting off an explosion?
Li Qingmu’s heart tightened, and he swiftly moved towards the source of the gunpowder scent.
After walking for a full incense stick’s time, he saw a cave appear ahead.
The dense gunpowder smell was wafting from the cave.
Li Qingmu’s eyes flashed as he stared at the cave.
The cave was huge and dark, with its pitch-black entrance resembling the gaping maw of a beast, ready to swallow people whole!
"Why do I feel this place is somewhat eerie?"
Perhaps, relying on some sixth sense, Li Qingmu found the place extremely unsettling.
"Why is this smell getting stronger? Not good!"
He leaped back swiftly, moving with astonishing speed, just like when he had fought You Su before, as swift as lightning.
After he retreated, he heard intense explosions, "boom boom boom," constantly going off, shaking the entire woodland violently, as if the world was ending!
And then, Li Qingmu saw that the entrance of the cave spewed out thick smoke and even flickered with flames!
He was late; it had already exploded!
Then, what about the area below the mountain?
Without a word, he immediately hurried down the mountain.
