"What do you want?" Luo Yingxue spoke coldly. Her face was gloomy, and the spiritual power around her was surging secretly. She was ready to fight at any time.
"If you disrupt the order of the mortal world, you must follow me back to the Demon-Subduing Pass and accept the arrangements of the Master!" Jiang Ziya swung his whip, and a huge pressure came, and the surrounding clouds were instantly stirred and surging.
Li Yuening retreated repeatedly, his face pale, his steps staggering, and he almost fell down.
Luo Yingxue waved her hand to disperse the pressure, her eyes cold as she looked directly at Jiang Ziya, "What if I don't?" Her tone was full of stubbornness and determination, with no intention of backing down.
"No!" Jiang Ziya snorted coldly. "Then don't blame me for using my divine whip to beat you to pieces!" His voice boomed like thunder, filled with endless majesty and anger.
"Then let's see if you have the ability!" After Luo Yingxue finished speaking, a long sword immediately appeared in her hand, surrounded by sword spirit and murderous intent. The sword body was shining with light, as if it was going to tear the void apart.
"Looking for death!" Jiang Ziya flew directly from the crane and lashed at Luo Yingxue with a whip. Wherever the whip passed, cracks appeared in the space.
"Dangdang!" The long sword and the divine whip kept colliding, emitting dazzling sparks. The powerful pressure forced Li Yuening to retreat again and again until he was barely able to stabilize his body hundreds of meters away.
With a "bang", the long sword shattered and Luo Yingxue was knocked out directly. Blood spurted out of her mouth, staining her clothes red.
"Miss!" Li Yuening hurried forward, her eyes filled with anxiety and concern. Luo Yingxue grabbed her and shot off into the distance at lightning speed.
"Want to run!" Jiang Ziya soared into the air, spiritual power surged around his body, and the divine whip quickly enlarged. The huge long whip lashed towards Luo Yingxue and the others. The wind whistled wherever it passed, and the momentum was terrifying.
"Mr. Chao! Please save my mother!" Yu Kai knelt before Academician Chao Tian, his voice mournful, tears welling in his eyes. Wu Xiaohu and Xia Shihan both dropped to their knees with a pleading expression.
"Hurry up and get up!" He knew the situation was critical and went straight to the control panel. Looking at the locked Jiang Ziya, he pressed a red button.
"Boom!" A huge roar sounded, and a missile flew out from the Nantianmen Construction Base with a whoosh, dragging a long tail flame, cutting through the sky and rushing towards Jiang Ziya.
Just as the whip was about to strike Luo Yingxue and the others, Jiang Ziya frowned as he watched the incoming hypersonic missile. The missile whistled with a sharp sound, like a ray of death. At the same time, he sensed a dangerous aura from it, a force powerful enough to harm him.
He hurriedly retracted his divine whip and faced the hypersonic missile. He waved the whip with both hands, pouring spiritual power into it crazily.
"Boom!" A tremendous roar echoed, and a dazzling light instantly burst forth, like a miniature sun exploding in the sky. Jiang Ziya was blasted flying, the powerful impact sending him careening through the air at breakneck speed. A crane screamed and swiftly caught him. He was now in a state of disarray, his hair disheveled, and his once neat robes tattered, his sage-like demeanor long gone.
He panted heavily, his face gloomy. He glanced around angrily, but there was no trace of Luo Yingxue and the others. "Hmph!" he snorted, his voice filled with anger. He glanced towards the Dragon Kingdom again, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He said to Xianhe, "Let's go back to Kunlun Mountain first and check the formation left by our master!"
The crane, with its spiritual power, let out a long cry and quickly flew towards Kunlun Mountain, carrying Jiang Ziya on its back. Jiang Ziya sat on the crane's back, constantly recovering his spiritual power.
Luo Yingxue and the others soon arrived above the Nantianmen construction base. Yu Kai, Xia Shihan, and Wu Xiaohu immediately came to greet them. Their faces were filled with anxiety and concern, and their eyes were filled with deep worry.
"Mom! Mom! Are you okay?" Yu Kai hugged Luo Yingxue, who had just fallen, with a trembling voice.
"Miss!" Wu Xiaohu and Xia Shihan also walked up and asked worriedly. Their eyes scanned back and forth over Luo Yingxue, fearing that she might be hurt.
"Mom's fine!" Luo Yingxue patted Yu Kai and whispered in a soothing voice. Her voice was gentle but firm, trying to reassure Yu Kai. Then she looked at Xia Shihan and Wu Xiaohu, "I'm fine! Go get Yuening and Dahu! I'm afraid they're in danger!" Luo Yingxue thought of Jiang Ziya's divine whip, and a trace of fear still flashed in her eyes. She said with lingering fear.
"Mr. Luo! Jiang Ziya is heading towards Kunlun Mountain!" Academician Chao Tian walked out.
"Thank you, Mr. Chao, for saving me!" Luo Yingxue saluted him with a fist, her face full of gratitude.
"It's okay! You have done so much for Longguo, I can't just stand by and watch you die!" Academician Chao Tian waved his hand indifferently, looking free and easy.
"Mr. Chao, it's not as easy as you say! You've already gotten into big trouble! You launched a hypersonic missile without permission, and openly opposed Jiang Ziya! Each of these crimes is serious!" The researcher next to him said anxiously, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Mr. Chao, what should we do?" Yu Kai suddenly became anxious, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just then, two military vehicles approached at high speed, kicking up a cloud of dust. A young officer, carrying a folder, led a neatly organized group of soldiers. He glanced at Luo Yingxue and the others, then at Elder Chao, and saluted respectfully. "Elder Chao, for violating regulations, you will be suspended for investigation! Here are the documents from above." He opened the folder and handed it over, his expression serious, but a hint of helplessness lingered in his eyes.
"No need to read it. I accept the investigation!" Academician Chao Tian said calmly, as if he had already expected this result. The other researchers were anxious, "Mr. Chao!" but he waved them away, his face calm and composed.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with Mr. Chao. I begged him not to suspend him!" Yu Kai stepped forward and begged, his eyes full of eagerness and pleading.
"Don't worry, young master, we won't make things difficult for Mr. Chao!" The officer was very polite, his voice gentle, trying to calm Yu Kai's emotions.
"Comrade, please tell the chief that I will not make things difficult for Long Guo and I will handle Jiang Ziya's affairs!" Luo Yingxue pulled Yu Kai over and looked at the young officer. Her eyes were firm and her tone was solemn.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will definitely pass it on to the chief!" The officer took a folder from the guard next to him and opened it, and said to the old man next to Academician Chao Tian, "Academician Fang! The order from above is that you will temporarily take over all matters of the base while Academician Chao Tian is under investigation." After saying that, he handed the folder to him with quick and decisive movements.
