Chapter 115
At this moment, no one was in the mood to go shopping. Everyone focused their attention on the explosion in the distance.
"Where is that over there?" Ji Mingqing was puzzled. But before he could see much of the excitement, a huge explosion was heard behind him. This explosion was closer to him, louder, and the damage range should be larger.
Ji Mingqing even felt a buzzing in his ears from the explosion. Before he could regain consciousness, he saw the person next to him talking loudly to him, but he couldn't hear clearly due to the impact of the sound waves.
It was not until he adjusted his spiritual energy in time that he heard what the people around him were yelling at him.
"Boss Ji, there was an explosion at your inn!"
After hearing this, Ji Ming froze in place for a moment. Huang Jiuzhen, who had rushed over to him, pulled him and he came to his senses. Then he looked towards the direction of his inn in disbelief.
But when he turned around, he found that the inn was standing still in the distance, and it didn't look like it had experienced the baptism of the explosion at all. Ming Qing looked at the person next to him who had just told him that the inn had exploded in confusion, and Huang Jiuzhen pulled him over.
"Come with me quickly and take a look. My son's portable cave is still on the sixty-first floor!" Huang Jiuzhen dragged Ji Mingshen forward without hesitation. Within a few breaths, the two arrived at the door of the inn. However, before they could enter, a huge explosion was heard from inside the inn.
Ji Mingqing looked up at the inn that had been half destroyed by the bomb, his eyes red and his heart broken.
His inn had only been open for a few days, and it was bombed!
Just when he was getting too excited and wanted to rush in to fight, he saw that the inn that had been half destroyed and was still crumbling due to the bombing a few seconds ago had returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
This made him stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and was about to walk into the inn, but was stopped by Huang Jiuzhen beside him.
"Are you crazy? Someone is clearly trying to harm you. Do you still want to come in and become a target for them?"
"But there are still customers in the inn. I have to go in and take a look."
"The patrons in this inn are much stronger than you, and do you think the guards for the mixed attack are all vegetarians?" Someone said, pulling Ji Mingqing aside and pointing in a direction, "Look over there."
Ji Mingqing turned around and saw many people standing in the open space next to the inn, looking in the direction of the inn with surprise.
Ji Mingqing hurried forward. The guard of the inn was Yi Wan, Cui Ding's subordinate. When Yi Wan saw Ji Mingqing appear in the inn, he walked forward quickly and wanted to report the situation of the inn to him.
"What's going on here? Are all the guests in the inn okay?" Ji Mingqing asked anxiously, waiting for Yi Wan's answer.
Yi Wan frowned and said seriously, "Just before the explosion, all the guests had sensed the crisis and evacuated the inn, so there were no casualties."
After hearing the news, Ji Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person was okay, he was glad.
"Besides that, where did the explosion come from?"
"We suspect that the explosion was caused by Yin Fuzhang. The source of the explosion should have come from Yin Fuzhang's room, but we think that when we went up, we found that there was no one in the room."
"Is there no one in the house anymore? Was the explosion just now pre-planned?" Ji Mingqing said with some irritation, "Why didn't anyone notify me when he left?"
Yi Wan knew he had failed in his duty and was about to kneel before Ji Mingqing, but Ji Mingqing stopped him, "If you want to kneel, you should kneel before your Lord. Where is he now?"
Yi Wan raised his head and replied with some guilt: "The Lord had already left before the explosion. It seems that something went wrong in the Demon Realm."
Ji Mingqing understood. No wonder Bai Cangze’s immortal ring couldn’t be connected. “Are you familiar with the things in the demon world?”
"I was assigned here by the Lord, so I don't know much about the situation on the front line." Yi Wan replied.
Ji Mingqing nodded, and then arranged for the inn's guards to comfort the guests.
"I'm sorry everyone, there was an incident at Fengxiyuan today. I'll cover all your expenses at Fengxiyuan, including food, lodging, and entertainment. No one has to pay a cent."
"That's great." A whisper came from the crowd, "But has the explosion issue been resolved? We don't want to be suddenly blown away while we're soaking in the fairy pond."
"Don't worry, this will never happen again." Ji Mingqing promised.
Everyone looked at the inn that had been restored to its original state and believed Ji Mingqing's words. They thought that only the Lord had such means. Since the Lord was secretly guaranteeing them, they had nothing to worry about.
"Everyone, please wait outside for a moment. We will conduct a final check. Once everything is confirmed, you can enter the inn as usual."
After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he turned around and dialed Bai Cangze's fairy ring again. As expected, Bai Cangze still didn't answer this time.
"You said it's a problem with the Demon Realm?" Ji Mingqing grabbed Yi Wan and asked in a deep voice.
Yi Wan nodded confidently and said, "Many colleagues have received orders from their superiors to gather at Kunze Palace, and quite a few have already reached Xieyue Coast to defend against the enemy. The Lord should be there now."
Ji Mingqing took a deep breath. He could do nothing at the rear now, and his strength level did not allow him to go to the front line. All he could do now was to keep his troops in place.
At the same time, we must quickly find Yin Fuzhang. It must not be a coincidence that he chose today. He has been staying in the inn for so many days before. He must have known some inside information when he suddenly showed up today. After catching him, he might be able to help Bai Cangze understand the news about the demon world.
"You don't have to surround me here. I'm going home. Go find Yin Fuzhang now. I've activated the formation and won't let anyone in or out." Ji Mingqing urged, "Find him as quickly as possible. Maybe we can learn about the Demon Realm's conspiracy."
After receiving the order, Yi Wan bowed to Ji Mingqing, and then gathered everyone to find Yin Fuzhang.
At the same time, Ji Mingqing mobilized everyone in the inn. He honestly told them, "Today's explosion in the distance was caused by unrest in the Demon Realm. However, the Lord has already begun to resolve it, so there's no need to worry."
"I just need everyone to do me a favor and help me find someone. If we can find him, he might be of great help to the front line."
Everyone heard that if it was helpful to the front line, wouldn't it also be helpful to the Lord? So they hurriedly asked, "Boss Ji, if there is anything you need us to do, just tell us!"
Ji Mingqing saw that even though he had made public the fact that a war might break out, the immortals in front of him remained calm. Ji Mingqing was also infected by their relaxation and felt a lot more relieved.
Huang Dingzhi seemed to notice Ji Mingqing's uneasiness, so he stepped forward to comfort him, "Why are you so nervous? With the Lord here, the people from the Demon Realm will never set foot in the Immortal Realm. You know how powerful he is!"
I didn't expect that Bai Cangze could give people such a sense of security. The star felt a little ashamed at this moment. He didn't trust Bai Cangze as much as other people. It really shouldn't be like this.
"I know this time will be the same as usual, Aze will definitely win again!"
Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing completely relaxed. He cheered up and began to comfort the guests in front of him. However, he found that the guests did not need his persuasion at all. Instead, they asked about his gossip.
"Is that magic that can instantly restore to its original state left by the Lord?"
"How long have you been with the Lord? How did you two meet?"
"Don't be shy. Did the Lord give you anything particularly precious? Take it out and show it to us."
Precious things? Ji Mingqing could only think of Bai Cangze's eggshell, but he would never show this thing to anyone else.
"If you keep gossiping like this, I won't give you a free meal!" Ji Mingqing said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I live on the ninety-sixth floor. Tell me quickly, was it you who took the initiative to find the Lord, or was it the Lord who found you?"
Ji Mingqing fled in panic because of the gossipy looks. After handing over all the matters to Huang Dingzhi and Huang Jiuzhen, he returned to the courtyard.
He didn't find Ji Lin in the crowd in the inn just now, so he thought Ji Lin must have returned home as soon as possible.
"Mom, are you home? It's a bit chaotic outside right now. We'd better not go out for a while." Ji Mingqing reminded loudly as soon as he entered the door. "I heard that the demon world has started making trouble again. Aze is out now and may not be back in time for dinner, so you don't have to cook his share."
After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he waited for Ji Lin's reply, but his call did not receive any response, instead there was only silence.
"Mom? Where are you?" Ji Mingqing had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still kept his composure, opened Ji Lin's door, and found that the room was empty.
He searched the yard but couldn't find Ji Lin. He took out the fairy ring in a panic and dialed Ji Lin's mark, but no one answered after a long time.
Ji Mingqing panicked, and the figure of Yin Fuzhang immediately emerged in his mind. No wonder Yin Fuzhang disappeared after blowing up the inn, no wonder Yin Fuzhang did not formally conflict with him, and no wonder Yin Fuzhang did not leave the house these days.
They should have been using their spiritual sense to monitor Ji Lin's every move. Maybe their original target was not Jie Lin, but because they knew that Ji Lin was their mother, they changed their target and had been waiting for this moment to kidnap Ji Lin to threaten themselves.
Ji Mingqing's hands began to tremble, and he could hardly hold the fairy ring. At this moment, there was no one around him, so he could only face it alone.
Ji Mingqing knew that the more time came, the more he should not panic. He took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but tear up his eyes.
He dialed Bai Cangze's fairy ring again, but still no one answered. Ji Mingqing rushed back to the inn to find Yi Wan.
"My mother is missing. Maybe she was abducted by Yin Fuzhang. I hope you can find Yin Fuzhang as quickly as possible."
After listening to this, Yi Wan realized the seriousness of the matter. He not only mobilized all the guards in Fengxiyuan, but also contacted some colleagues who had retreated from the battlefield and did not go to Xieyue Coast this time, and asked them to come to Fengxiyuan as quickly as possible to help.
Ji Mingqing was very thankful at this moment. He had activated the formation immediately after the explosion, but he didn't know if Yin Fuzhang had kidnapped Ji Lin before or after he caused the explosion. If it was after, it would be fine, but if it was before...
It is not easy to find people in the vast fairyland, so he can only wait for Yin Fuzhang to come forward and make a request to him.
Oh, right, make a request. Ji Lin was of no value to Yin Fuzhang, and it was he who had the conflict with the clothing. Now he just had to wait for Yin Fuzhang to contact him.
Ji Mingqing took a deep breath, found a tree, sat down under it, closed his eyes and began to practice the internal skills, trying to calm himself down.
The more times like this, the more he couldn't panic. He placed the fairy ring beside him, within reach, so that he could hear it when it vibrated. Then Ji Mingqing sat cross-legged on the ground, his back against the tree, his hands supporting the ground, feeling the fairy energy in the air.
The process of cultivation gradually calmed him down, but for some reason, this time's cultivation seemed different from usual.
There was no longer darkness in front of his eyes, but a blank space as if after the thick fog had dissipated. Weeds and flowers gradually grew in this blank space. With the circulation of the fairy energy, the weeds were more than the flowers, and many saplings grew in the middle. In the blink of an eye, the saplings turned into towering trees.
What Ji Mingqing was looking at was a dense forest, but it seemed that there was no stopping. The area of the forest was getting larger and larger, and gradually some shrunken buildings and black spots appeared. Ji Mingqing looked hard and found that the building was exactly the same as the house he built in Fengxi Garden, and those black spots that kept moving were actually the immortals he had seen just now!
Ji Mingqing was shocked. He was clearly aware that he was practicing with his eyes closed, but every blade of grass and every tree in Fengxi Garden was imprinted in his mind, as if they had merged into one with it. At the same time, he could feel the dynamics of every corner of Fengxi Garden.
Is his technique really that magical? Ji Mingqing was stunned.
If it were in the past, he would definitely open his eyes and tell Bai Cangze immediately, but the situation is different now. The first thing he thought of was to search for Yin Fuzhang and Ji Lin among them.
While searching, he prayed to the sky, hoping that Yin Fuzhang and Ji Lin had not left the area of Fengxi Garden, hoping that Ji Lin would be safe, and hoping that Yin Fuzhang would see that he still had some value and not hurt Ji Lin in the slightest.
Perhaps God heard his prayers, or perhaps Yin Fuzhang did not expect Ji Mingqing to react so quickly. In any case, he saw Yin Fuzhang interrogating Ji Lin about the weaknesses of the formation at the edge of Fengxi Garden. There was a hint of panic in his timid expression. It can be guessed that what Yin Fuzhang wanted now was to leave immediately.
But his wish was about to fail. After Ji Mingqing determined the position of the two people, he opened his eyes. When he was about to get up, he found that his whole body was entangled in tall weeds. Ji Mingqing did not have time to think about why the weeds grew so fast. He just peeled them away, then immediately found Yi Wan and talked to him.
"Find everyone you can and follow me."
"I'm going to catch someone!"
