"We really can't delay any longer."
Li Yu looked up at Bai Ya and said succinctly:
"Bai Ya, take these people back and meet up with Xiao Zhan first."
His gaze swept over the five healing-type awakened individuals and the group of elderly guests who looked like lambs to the slaughter, and he calmly reminded them:
"Remember to keep a close eye on these people; don't let a single one escape!"
After all, these are important bargaining chips that cannot be lost.
How much ransom and resources can be extracted from the forces behind them in the future will depend entirely on these people's "background" and their value.
By the time he brings the Star Orbit Cannon back to Kangcheng, it will be too late for the families behind these moneybags to make a move.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ya immediately suppressed the slight daze that had appeared on his face due to Zhao Dezheng's arrogant words, and nodded solemnly:
"Understood, I'll take them back now."
Just as the white crow was mobilizing its energy.
"etc!"
Qiao Chuan's urgent voice broke the silence.
Everyone around turned to look at them.
At this moment, they noticed that Qiao Chuan's body was trembling and his energy was fluctuating violently, as if he was about to lose control.
"Take me with you wherever they go."
A kind of animalistic panic welled up in Qiao Chuan, and he muttered:
"I have to leave here, now! I have a feeling... if I don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"Please, please take me away." Qiao Chuan stared intently at Li Yu.
Zhao Dezheng frowned, but did not step forward to forcibly suppress Qiao Chuan. Instead, he turned to Li Yu with a questioning look.
After all, Qiao Chuan was no longer of any use to him.
Li Yu's gaze lingered on Qiao Chuan's pleading face for a moment before she nodded.
With permission granted, Qiao Chuan, drawing strength from who-knows-where, scrambled and stumbled into the area shrouded by the star array.
Amidst the murderous gazes of all the elders around him, Qiao Chuan plunged headlong into the very center of the crowd.
The starlight at Bai Ya's fingertips paused only slightly, but did not stop.
Then, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his fingertips radiating starlight.
Tiny, shimmering starlight emanated from his body, and a deeper galaxy illusion appeared within the star array.
As the starlight intensified, the massive star array enveloped the five healing-type awakened individuals, as well as Qiao Chuan and the elders.
"Relax, don't resist."
The clear, cold voice of the white raven echoed in the starlight.
"Group migration!"
The next moment, the dazzling starlight suddenly contracted inward, and then spread out like a nebula blooming in reverse!
The bright light made the Black brothers squint.
The figures in the light quickly blurred, as if merging into the flowing galaxy.
Immediately afterwards, the light suddenly collapsed into an extremely bright point, and then vanished without a trace.
The star array then dissipated, and the figures of Bai Ya, the Healer Awakener, Qiao Chuan, and the old men also disappeared.
Zhao Dezheng blinked and smacked his lips:
"Tsk, this ability is really convenient."
He then turned his head and looked at Li Yu expectantly:
"When do we set off?"
Li Yu did not answer immediately.
Instead, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned in another direction.
Almost simultaneously, the three Hei brothers also sensed something, their expressions changed, and they immediately gathered around.
"call--"
A muffled rumble came from afar.
It wasn't an energy explosion, but rather the sound of wind pressure generated by a large number of people moving at high speed.
Before long, a huge blue tornado appeared in the heavy rain, like a giant python clearing a path, forcefully tearing through the obstacles in its way and clearing a wide passage.
Behind the pillar of wind, shadowy figures approached at an extremely fast speed, all wearing the same dark blue uniforms with the Thunder Emblem embroidered on their chests.
It's clearly the field operations force of the Central Plains Thunder Bureau!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of highly skilled and well-trained Thunder Bureau Awakeners arrived in front of them.
The wind-type ability user immediately suppressed the tornado, and the chaotic airflow dispersed.
The team stopped in unison on the open space above the ravine.
The leader stepped forward from the crowd; he appeared to be around fifty years old, with a rigid and serious expression.
The three Hei brothers clearly recognized the other party and, not daring to be negligent, immediately went to greet him, standing at attention and saluting.
"Chief Inspector!"
However, the inspector general had a cold expression and didn't even glance at them.
He didn't respond; instead, his gaze swept across the entire area before finally noticing the lingering spatial fluctuations on the ground.
The inspector general's face instantly darkened.
"snort!"
He snorted coldly, his voice not loud, but carrying an imposing aura of someone accustomed to a superior position:
"Who carried out the teleportation? Without reporting it, they conducted a large-scale spatial teleportation within the territory of Zhongzhou. How dare they!"
The inspector general turned around, his cold gaze falling on the three Hei brothers, his displeasure undisguised:
"And you three! What are you good for?"
"What are the Investigation Department's orders? 'Investigate!' Infiltrate and investigate, gather evidence!"
"I'm not telling you to launch a full-scale attack, nor am I telling you to storm the stronghold! Don't you understand orders?"
Hei Yi's face flushed red as he tried to explain, "Chief Inspector, there's a reason for this. The Changsheng Sect is illegally possessing small-scale star-track cannons and has imprisoned a large number of refugees. We had no choice but to..."
"Shut up!"
The inspector general rudely interrupted him, seemingly already knowing the reason and now just deliberately taking his anger out on the three of them.
"I don't need to hear your reasons! The mission was seriously out of control, causing unpredictable consequences, that's the fact."
"Stand still and cooperate with the investigation. We'll settle accounts with you when we get back!"
Hei San's teeth were grinding together.
