Chen Qian didn't know what had happened, but seeing Li Ze's hurried appearance, his heart tightened. He followed behind Li Ze and asked, "Where are you going? I can take you through the special passage."
After carefully sensing the surroundings, Li Ze replied, "Go to the 29th floor."
When Chen Qian heard that it was the 29th floor, not the 30th floor or above, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing had happened up there.
However, he soon realized that he had let his breath go too soon.
As the elevator continued to ascend, Chen Qian quickly sensed something was wrong. "Whose mental threads are these?"
“Many people,” Li Ze replied, his face grim.
"A lot of people?" Chen Qian's face drained of color instantly, and he said with a hint of relief, "Are you kidding me?"
Li Ze gave Chen Qian a deep look but said nothing.
Chen Qian's limbs went weak. He leaned against the elevator wall, barely managing to stand up straight. "Where did those spiritual threads come from?"
“The 29th floor and the 35th floor and above,” Li Ze said.
Thump—
Chen Qian collapsed to the ground, his face filled with horror. "If something happens to the people at the top, the entire empire will be in turmoil for decades."
They monitored the sky, the ground, and the underground, ensuring that no weapon or anomaly could approach within five miles. But unexpectedly, it wasn't a weapon, but a mental thread!
When they arrived at the 29th floor, Li Ze picked up Chen Qian from the ground and took him out of the elevator.
"Stand still," Li Ze said coldly to Chen Qian.
Chen Qian, his face pale, gritted his teeth and stood up straight. At this moment, he also cautiously released his spiritual power.
"Don't move," Li Ze said again.
Chen Qian turned to look at him, puzzled.
“I might accidentally hurt someone,” Li Ze explained.
In places unseen by the naked eye, a battle without gunpowder is unfolding.
At this moment, Li Ze's face was expressionless, with a calm demeanor that suggested he had everything under control, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
"Madam, why didn't we go upstairs, but came here instead?" Chen Qian asked in a low voice.
“The source is here,” Li Ze replied, reminding Chen Qian, “The other side has also discovered us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two dark figures attacked Li Ze and Chen Qian respectively. Li Ze remained calm, precisely grabbing the other's hands and dislocating both of their arms.
Chen Qian was startled, but quickly calmed down, realizing that his opponent's speed and strength were not impressive.
This is an ordinary person!
Having subdued the two men, Li Ze and Chen Qian took a few more steps forward and spotted the old woman in the corner.
"It's you!" The old woman gritted her teeth, her eyes wide with anger, veins bulging on her face, looking as if she wanted to devour Li Ze.
Many people knew him, but few had a grudge against him. Li Ze quickly guessed the other party's identity: "Qi's remnant forces?"
Upon hearing the words "remnant forces," the old woman's face grew even more grim, her expression dark and chilling, emanating a chilling aura. However, the next second, she laughed, a laugh as harsh and unpleasant as sawing wood.
"You're too late. The people upstairs are finished, beyond saving!" the old woman said with a gleeful expression.
Chen Qian suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ze, his body swaying as if he was about to collapse.
Li Ze merely frowned slightly. "You're being a bit noisy."
As soon as he finished speaking, his divine sense invaded the old woman's spiritual sea and crushed it with absolute overwhelming force.
ah--
The old woman's screams echoed throughout the entire 29th floor.
The sound was sharp, shrill, and pierced the eardrums, sending chills down one's spine.
No one knew what had happened. Some people ran downstairs, while others ran towards the source of the sound.
The old woman, her back hunched, fell to the ground, experiencing the pain of convulsions and spasms.
Blood was flowing from her ear, saliva covered her face, and there was urine—
Li Ze stopped looking at her and turned to leave.
Chen Qian contacted someone to come over while following behind Li Ze.
They went from the 29th floor to the 35th floor. Throughout the process, Li Ze remained calm and relaxed, while Chen Qian was as busy as a spinning top, sometimes receiving several communications at the same time and sending out several more at the same time, quickly issuing various instructions.
Li Ze acted like an outsider, exiting the elevator and walking straight towards the conference room.
At this moment, he didn't need Chen Qian to lead the way. He knew the direction of the conference room better than Chen Qian, and he also knew the current situation of the conference room better than Chen Qian.
Besides the conference room, guards lay scattered on the floor in the corridors, the tea room, and outside each room. Chen Qian stared at this horrifying scene, his back drenched in sweat.
Perhaps he was too nervous, Li Ze said with pity, "You can examine the mental seas of these people."
Chen Qian paused, "Their mental sea? Their mental sea has collapsed, I'm going to enter their mental sea now—"
Chen Qian's words abruptly stopped. He suddenly realized that this wasn't the symptom of a mental sea collapse. If it were a mental sea collapse, the mental threads would have entangled them as soon as they got close, without any deliberate investigation...
Has it already been brought under control?
But he had never heard of anyone being able to control a collapsing mental state.
While Chen Qian was still hesitating about whether to examine the sentinels' mental seas, Li Ze had already entered the conference room. His divine sense was still controlling the mental seas of the sentinels present until he violently suppressed their mental seas and made them behave. Only then did he withdraw his divine sense.
The people on the ground suffered inhuman pain once again, and were awakened by the pain. The moment they opened their eyes, they saw Li Ze looking down at them.
Even from this unflattering angle, her face is still impeccably beautiful.
Chen Qian entered at that moment. Seeing the awakened Emperor and the assembled high-ranking officials, he breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his body was cold and that his clothes were soaked with sweat; he had been drenched in cold sweat without even noticing.
"Madam, please sit down to the side," Chen Qian said to Li Ze, and he went over to help everyone up one by one.
Li Ze obediently went to sit down to the side.
One of them never considered asking the other for help, and the other never considered going up to help himself.
It wasn't until Chen Qian helped everyone to their seats that they gradually came to their senses and hurriedly began to examine their own mental seas.
fine?
Not only are they fine, they're better than ever before!
"What happened?" the young emperor asked, without specifying who it was, but his gaze was fixed on Li Ze.
Li Ze, however, looked at Chen Qian.
"Your Majesty, I have already had the murderer brought up. You can question him yourself in a moment." Chen Qian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but upon closer examination, one could detect a hint of anger.
Why shouldn't we express our gratitude at this point? Instead, it feels like we're interrogating a criminal. What's the reasoning behind this?
The young emperor sensed Chen Qian's anger. He rubbed his head, and when he faced Li Ze again, his expression became much friendlier. "Did you save us?"
Li Ze nodded, "I promised to help you relieve your mental tension. Now, our deal is done."
As he spoke, Li Ze glanced at the others, "They were given to us as a gift."
His Majesty:"......."
The others present: "........."
