Chapter 1685 Chaos in Yaochi
The moment these words were heard, the entire carriage fell into dead silence.
Chloe: (||?Д
Lin Qiye: ∑(O_O；)??
“No!!”
“No!!!”
The two exclaimed in unison.
Their intense reaction startled Jialan. Chloe immediately spoke up:
“Don’t misunderstand! We’re just partners! I’m just helping him with some things!”
“That’s right, you’re overthinking it, Jialan.”
“Oh… is that so?” Jialan nodded in confusion, “I apologize for being presumptuous…”
“It’s fine…” Lin Qiye sighed in relief, pointing to the spot beside him, “Come sit here.”
“No need, I’m fine sitting here.”
“…”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that Jialan was unwilling to change seats, Lin Qiye didn’t insist… after all, regardless of the future, right now they were strangers meeting for the first time. If she wanted to sit in the corner, he couldn’t force her to sit beside him.
Chloe looked at Yan Zhong who had been squeezed into the corner, then at the empty space beside herself, and for a moment, she was caught in an awkward situation – neither sitting back nor not sitting back seemed right.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became silent.
In the end, it was Jialan who broke the strange silence.
“By the way, where are you all headed?”
“Same as you, to Yaopool.”
“Yaopool?”
Hearing these two words, Jialan was stunned for a moment, then firmly shook her head,
“You cannot go there, at least not for the next couple of days.”
“Why?”
Jialan opened her mouth, as if hesitating, but after a moment, she still spoke:
“Yaopool is in complete chaos right now… if you go, you’ll only cause more trouble for the Queen Mother, and you might even be in mortal danger.”
Lin Qiye and the others exchanged glances,
“Chaos?”
“A kind of mist has enveloped the entire Kunlun Void, from guests to celestial soldiers and maids, everyone in Yaopool has been confused, including Queen Mother… I escaped from there.”
Indeed,
The real Kusuen had already set his sights on the Great Xia God.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye knew his guess was correct. He quickly asked:
“When did this happen?”
“Six days ago.”
“So the entire Yaopool has fallen? How did you escape?” Yan Zhong asked curiously.
Jialan was silent for a moment, then said: “When Queen Mother first discovered something was wrong, only I and another maid, Jiangzhu, were serving by her side, so only the three of us in the entire Yaopool could be completely trusted…
Afterwards, as if the Queen Mother had guessed something, she took me and Sister Jiangzhu directly into the pill room and gave us the Immortality Pill Jar and the Immortal Pill Jar respectively. She told us to protect them at all costs, and if someone tried to take them by force, we should destroy them rather than let them fall into others’ hands. We were also warned not to eat them, because even if swallowed, these two pills wouldn’t disappear – they could still be retrieved even if a person was burned to ashes.
After that, she used a secret technique to send us out of Yaopool, and arranged to meet again in ten days, saying that within ten days, she would resolve everything.
After leaving Yaopool, to disperse the risk, Sister Jiangzhu and I went separate ways. She went to Magadha Country on the other side, while I entered the Great Han Dynasty.
During these six days, I’ve been hiding in different places under a false identity… but every two days, a group of monsters would find me, and each time their numbers increased. The first time there were only dozens, the second time there were over a hundred.
My power was exhausted, and I was seriously injured. I barely escaped from the second attack, but later collapsed in the snow due to exhaustion. When I woke up, I had been taken to Qingshan County…”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye roughly understood the cause and effect of the situation.
When the Queen Mother discovered Yaopool was under attack, her first reaction was to send the Immortality Pill and Immortal Pill into the mortal world, which shows how important these two items are. And after that, it became difficult to distinguish between real and fake people in Yaopool. Apart from Jialan, Jiangzhu, and the Queen Mother, no one else should know that these two jars of pills are no longer in Yaopool.
The current situation is that Lin Qiye has already given the Immortal Pill to Jialan to consume, so it’s probably impossible to return it… After returning to Yaopool, the Queen Mother wouldn’t really burn Jialan to retrieve the Immortal Pill from her body, would she?
If that were to happen, whether from a personal emotional perspective or from a causal change perspective, Lin Qiye would never allow it to happen.
“Sounds like a big problem…” Yan Zhong thoughtfully looked at Lin Qiye, “Are you confident?”
“Yes,” Lin Qiye calmly replied, “My ability can distinguish between true and false. If we intervene, we can solve many difficulties.”
“You still want to go to Yaopool?” Seeing that her words hadn’t discouraged everyone, Jialan hurriedly spoke, “It’s impossible! You’re ultimately just humans. When the mist covered Kunlun Void, there were several major gods visiting Yaopool, plus the Queen Mother… you’re going to your deaths!
Let’s follow the Queen Mother’s instructions and go in four days later.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Jialan,” Chloe smiled, “We have experience dealing with that thing, and besides… we are also very strong.”
“But we’re still at least two days’ journey from Kunlun Mountain. By the time we get there, perhaps everything will be over?” Hu Jia asked.
Lin Qiye frowned in thought.
The ten-day deadline set by the Queen Mother should be the maximum time needed to stabilize Yaopool. If they want to help, they should reach Yaopool as soon as possible.
His gaze passed through the lifted curtain and fell on the carriage in front.
Noticing Lin Qiye’s gaze, Chloe and the others suddenly shuddered and tentatively asked:
“You’re not thinking of…”
“We have no choice,” Lin Qiye reassured them, “Everyone bear with it, we’ll arrive soon.”
Everyone’s faces instantly turned ashen, except for Jialan who still sat confused in the corner, not knowing what was happening.
Lin Qiye stopped the carriage, went to Huo Qubing’s carriage and said something, then they directly unhitched the horses that had just been replaced at the front of the carriage, leaving only two carriages standing alone in the wilderness.
“What are you doing?” Yan Zhong asked in confusion, seeing the horses he had just bought being released.
Lin Qiye patted his shoulder and said meaningfully:
“We’re afraid the horses can’t handle it… flying at high altitude in this temperature, they would freeze to death before reaching Kunlun Mountain. Rather than that, it’s better to release them.”
“…If they would freeze to death, what about us?”
Lin Qiye smiled without answering.
Boom—!!
Under the power of the Emperor’s Control, the two carriages shot up from the ground at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a series of miserable screams, disappearing into the clouds.
