Chapter 393 Signal Interruption

Huo Qinghuang ultimately did not agree to Lin Xuan's request.

She is used to being alone and really doesn't like having a burden who is not strong enough and is always chattering around her.

What's more, they have to face Jianmu and the unknown ancient land of Xuanhuang. How could they be willing to bring a burden to get in the way?

"The tomb has collapsed, and there are no living people inside. For now, you should report the situation here first and see how the higher-ups will arrange it."

Huo Qinghuang's tone left no room for doubt. His eyes swept across the three people, finally landing on Professor Xu.

"Professor Xu, you are well-informed and should understand the seriousness of this matter. Now is not the time to act stubbornly. We must let the higher-ups know about this as soon as possible."

She did not disclose the existence of Bureau 749, but as long as the matter was reported, Bureau 749 would definitely know about it.

Since it concerns Jianmu, Long Weihua will most likely go there in person.

Professor Xu didn't know what to do at the moment. After hearing this, he was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay, I will arrange for evacuation immediately, but Mr. Huo, can you really go to find Jianmu seeds by yourself?"

Jianmu, that is a divine object that only exists in myths and legends. I didn’t expect it to actually exist.

He knew all this because he had been studying ancient history for many years. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably think that Huo Qinghuang was talking about fairy tales.

Huo Qinghuang raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Lin Xuan wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Murong Xuan.

"Don't make trouble."

He whispered a warning, his eyes hard.

Lin Xuan bit her lip and finally could only stomp her feet unwillingly.

"It's decided then."

Professor Xu nodded: "But it's getting late today, and those students haven't woken up yet. Let's find a place to rest and leave after they wake up."

"Okay, I'll arrange a place right away."

Murong Xuan nodded immediately and turned on the navigation on his phone to see if there was any village nearby where he could stay overnight.

However, it was only then that he discovered that the signal was interrupted.

"Do you have a signal on your cell phone?"

He looked at Professor Xu and others.

"There should be, right? Didn't you use the navigation system when you came here?"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she took out her cell phone to check it, and her expression instantly turned ugly.

"What's going on? My phone has no signal!"

Professor Xu also took out his cell phone, looked at the screen, and frowned, "There is indeed no signal. This shouldn't be the case. Is there something nearby that is interfering with the signal?"

Murong Xuan frowned slightly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought. Without a signal, we can't contact the outside world in time, nor can we report the situation here."

Huo Qinghuang didn't say anything and silently took out a cell phone.

"Let's use this. This is the latest Beidou satellite navigation system. It can connect to the Internet in any area without signal. Want to try it?"

"Satellite phone? You've got everything prepared. Did you anticipate this happening?"

Murong Xuan took the phone and said casually.

Huo Qinghuang shook his head.

Could she say she had a satellite phone with her at all times?

There was no other way. The old man had forced everyone in the Huo family to do the same. Whenever they went out, they had to carry a satellite phone with them to avoid being unable to be contacted if something happened.

“There really is a signal!”

Murong Xuan felt relieved and quickly dialed a number.

A minute later, he handed the phone to Professor Xu.

"You have to come in person to make the call to the higher-ups."

Professor Xu did not refuse. He took the phone silently and thought about how to start the conversation.

What happened today was so strange that it directly overturned his decades of cognition.

Did he have to tell the truth that there was no ancient corpse in the tomb of Marquis Changping, only a substitute puppet?

Or does Jianmu want to be resurrected and is prepared to use the entire Blue Planet as nourishment, and then everyone will be finished?

These words sound like a myth. Would anyone believe them?

And the most crucial point is that he did not enter the tomb and did not see it all with his own eyes. He only heard the descriptions of Murong Xuan and others. He did have doubts in his heart.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Professor Xu took a deep breath and dialed a number.

If you stick your head out, you will be cut; if you keep your head down, you will also be cut. Anyway, this is the way it is, believe it or not!

However, what Professor Xu did not expect was that the person on the other end of the phone actually accepted the fact very calmly, and told them not to run around and that someone would be sent to pick them up.

Professor Xu was a little confused.

He glanced at the number that was calling in disbelief.

It’s the principal’s cell phone number.

He often calls this number and remembers it by heart, even better than the principal's wife. He will never make a mistake!

But just like that, the problem arises.

Who can tell him why the principal is so calm?

Shouldn't he be slamming the table and cursing while at the same time caring about whether anything happened to the three ancestors around him?

Why did he accept the fact so easily and appear to be so knowledgeable?

wrong!

This old guy must be hiding something from them!

Professor Xu had a dark face and was gnashing his teeth secretly.

"What's wrong, Professor?"

Lin Xuan poked Huo Qinghuang's arm and asked in a low voice.

Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow, considered his words for a moment, and then said, "Maybe you have discovered that there are many things in this world that subvert our cognition?"

“…”

Lin Xuan was speechless.

Because she found that this sentence also applied to her.

Before going down to the tomb, she had never thought that Jianmu was a real thing.

Not only that, that guy also wants to devour the entire world and be resurrected!

No, I must tell my uncle about this as soon as possible!

This concerns the survival of the entire Blue Star. Why should Qing Huang have to run around all alone?

The world is so big and there are many capable people. Those who have money should contribute money, and those who don’t have money should contribute their efforts!

Huo Qinghuang didn't expect that Lin Xuan could gain so many merits for her with just a thought.

But Lin Xuan also had good intentions, and she really couldn't blame the other party.

“Boom!”

There was a roar of a car engine in the distance, and the person Murong Xuan called had arrived.

"Master!"

Ten black G-Class cars were lined up in front of the crowd. Several bodyguards in black suits quickly got out of the cars and saluted respectfully towards Murong Xuan.

Murong Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Huo Qinghuang, Professor Xu and others, and said, "Let's get in the car first and find a safe place to make plans."

Everyone nodded and carried the student who had not yet woken up and Professor Zhang into the car.

After getting in the car, Professor Xu was still in a state of confusion. He was still thinking about the principal's unusually calm reaction, and his heart was full of doubts.

"Murong Xuan, why do you think the principal is so calm about this matter? Did he know about Jianmu's matter a long time ago?"

Professor Xu couldn't help but ask.

Murong Xuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know either, but the principal is in a high position and has great power. Maybe he really knows something that we don't know."

"Why keep guessing? Why not just ask him directly after we leave here?"

Huo Qinghuang said very calmly.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Professor Xu nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.

After driving for a while, the car arrived in front of a manor.

This is the Murong family's property nearby, and it is said to be very safe.

After getting off the bus, everyone walked into the manor and placed the unconscious student in a room to rest.
