A hint of doubt and urgency flashed in Liu Feng's eyes, and he blurted out, "Where is Junior Sister Jiu'er?"
Abbess Jinghui looked up at Liu Feng, her question tinged with a hint of confusion: "Didn't she go to Qingfeng Temple a long time ago?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng was stunned. He suddenly realized and murmured to himself, "Ah, so Jingyi is Junior Sister Jiu'er."
The little girl who once studied Plum Blossom Divination with him, the woman who practiced solitary meditation beside the waterfall at Qingfeng Temple…
Liu Feng was slightly lost in thought, immersed in his memories.
A moment later, he slowly woke up from his dream and suddenly realized that a sense of indescribable distance had arisen between him and her.
“Jingyi… she didn’t go straight back to Baiyun Temple after she went down the mountain, so where did she go?” Liu Feng pursed his lips, his gaze piercing through the layers of mountains, and looked far to the north.
Just then, Liu Feng's keen senses suddenly jolted. He sensed that the protective talismans he had given to the gambling king had exploded in a row, like firecrackers. Immediately afterward, his cell phone started ringing incessantly. He answered several calls in quick succession, his brows furrowed.
Yu Jingya and Liu Yue had been standing nearby, taking in Liu Feng's unusual behavior. They exchanged a worried glance and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"
Liu Feng slowly put down his phone and said, "Something's come up at the Changsheng Pharmaceutical factory. I need to go check it out."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingya looked anxious and stepped forward to grab Liu Feng's arm, saying, "I'll go with you." Liu Yue also nodded in agreement.
Liu Feng shook his head, patted Yu Jingya's hand, and said softly, "You and my older sister go to Kyoto first and wait for my news. I will come to find you soon. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Yu Jingya was about to speak again when Liu Feng turned around and drew his Qingfeng sword. The sword hummed, as if sensing its master's emotions, and its blade shone brightly.
Liu Feng lightly lifted his foot, leaped onto the sword, and in an instant, transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards Hong Kong.
Yu Jingya and Liu Yue stood there, gazing in the direction Liu Feng had left, for a long time.
Master Jinghui stood quietly to the side, witnessing everything. Her face was full of amazement: "This... this is the legendary sword flight? It's truly breathtaking!"
Liu Feng flew into the clouds and disappeared from sight.
He wielded his sword, traversing the clouds with effortless ease. The wind whistled past his ears, yet could not disturb his peace of mind. The mountains and rivers below flashed by like a flowing scroll painting.
Before long, Liu Feng spotted the Changsheng Pharmaceutical Factory standing on the banks of the Xiangjiang River. The factory's outline was faintly visible in the mist, giving it a mysterious air.
The gambling king and others had been eagerly waiting outside the factory. When they saw Liu Feng appear, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Following the gambling king, Liu Feng passed through numerous checkpoints and finally entered a secret base, where the core research and development achievements of the Changsheng Pharmaceutical Factory were hidden.
Upon entering the base, the gambling king couldn't wait to tell Liu Feng about the accident.
It turns out that this morning, two vehicles carrying important experts were involved in a sudden traffic accident on their way to the factory.
At that moment, a large truck in front suddenly suffered a tire blowout without warning, causing it to lose control and come to a stop across the middle of the road. Two cars behind it braked urgently but were still unable to avoid crashing into it. The scene was chaotic, with the sounds of shattering glass and clashing metal all mixed together, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Fortunately, all six experts were carrying protective talismans given to them by Liu Feng, which came into play at the critical moment, forming an invisible shield that saved their lives, leaving them with only minor injuries.
As Liu Feng listened to the gambling king's account, his gaze grew increasingly cold. He knew this was no simple accident; a force was deliberately plotting behind the scenes.
Today, Changsheng Pharmaceutical Factory has made significant breakthroughs in the development of anti-cancer drugs and anti-aging drugs, achieving remarkable results that have attracted the covetous eyes of various forces around the world.
Once these drugs are successfully launched on the market, they will change the lives of countless people and bring enormous commercial and social benefits. It's no wonder that some people would stop at nothing to sabotage all of this.
The gambling king continued, "We have conducted a preliminary investigation of the accident scene and found that the tires of the truck had been deliberately damaged. In addition, the surveillance camera in the area where the accident occurred was inexplicably damaged the day before and has not been repaired yet. This is obviously a premeditated act."
Liu Feng nodded, his gaze deep. He looked around at the busy researchers and advanced experimental equipment in this secret base, thinking to himself: We must find out the mastermind behind this and make an example of others!
The following morning, an oil tanker set sail from the South China Sea, leaving a long contrail on the rippling blue waters. After several hours of sailing, the tanker finally arrived at a secluded island.
Although the island has an area of only 300,000 square meters, it occupies an important position between the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, bordering the Philippine Islands to the east, Borneo to the south, and the Malay Peninsula to the west.
Although small, the island is fully equipped. In the northern part of the island stands a small, magnificent castle built of sturdy stone. The castle is equipped with modern facilities such as a helipad, a dock, and a gas station; and has recreational facilities such as tennis courts and a gym.
The entire castle is a miniature modern city.
The castle is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, with shady trees providing ample shade. Around the island, pristine white sand beaches stretch for miles, their fine, powdery sand shimmering golden in the sunlight. The waves gently lap at the shore, creating layers of white foam.
The coconut palms sway in the breeze, their tall, straight branches dancing in the wind, their leaves rustling softly. In the distance, the azure sea meets the sky, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene where the sea and sky merge into one.
A squad of fully armed elite soldiers guarded the castle entrance. They were dressed in camouflage uniforms, wore helmets, and carried automatic rifles. Their sharp eyes were always alert to any movement around them.
Heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were also mounted on the castle walls, forming an impregnable defensive line. The island's heavy security was awe-inspiring.
The gambling king and his entourage followed the armed men through dense jungle and winding paths, finally arriving at the castle gate. They felt a surge of unease, but their anxiety gradually subsided when they saw Liu Feng's calm demeanor.
Inside the castle, young men and women dressed in fine clothes strolled around with smiles on their faces and extraordinary demeanor.
Led by armed men, Liu Feng and the gambling king arrived at a magnificent living room.
