Chapter 1026: Chapter 62 Yun Jin Saves
Liu Longtao descended to the ground as he grounded his sword light.
Before the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, he had traveled to Chongying many tis. The old-age demographics were indeed severe in these rural areas, but most of the elderly people, even those in their seventies and eighties, would still choose to work rather than lying in bed and waiting for death.
However, at this mont, the street was utterly deserted. Judging by the level of decay in the surrounding garbage, the entire village had been abandoned for a long ti.
Liu Longtao looked up and saw a house in front of him, which seed to have been cleaved from top to bottom by sothing, revealing broken bricks and wood.
The whole cut looked like it had been scooped out by an excavator bucket, provided that the bucket was at least ten ters wide.
… So kind of colossal monster?
Liu Longtao stepped into the ruins and saw that half of the kitchen on the first floor was missing. The gas stove’s frying pan was slightly deford, and inside was a charred, unrecognizable black object.
… Soone was cooking in the kitchen before the attack. The monster split the house and took away the person cooking. The unattended gas stove kept burning until the natural gas supply was cut off in this area.
Liu Longtao squatted down and saw nurous dense, long wavy marks on the floor.
… After the house was violently split open, a large amount of wood powder and brick debris fell to the floor near the crack. Then, sothing long and narrow crawled or slid over the floor, leaving these marks, like footprints.
Was it a snake? Or what?
Liu Longtao circled the house but didn’t find more clues.
The grass in the courtyard was withered and yellow. Although the nearby temperature had risen for so ti, the lawn had not turned green. Even if attributed to the grass species, so weeds should have sprouted by now without maintenance.
Liu Longtao turned his head and found that it was indeed particularly quiet around. The common sparrows, pigeons, and stray cats and dogs in urban environnts were nowhere in sight.
The monster could kill all the animals here, but it couldn’t prevent wild animals from migrating here after it left.
Unless the soil was poisoned.
Liu Longtao took out a prepared bottle, collected so local soil and river water, sealed them properly, and then scanned the surroundings again.
This village, whose residents had all been “Divinely Concealed,” was just one among the many afflicted villages. The authorities made no reports about this, instead constantly debunking and clarifying, claiming nothing happened, using the obedience of Chongying people to authority and their inherent adherence to order, trying to keep the lid tightly shut.
The Divine Concealnt phenonon was currently confined to the Kansai area, with the capital, which concentrated a third of the population, unaffected. Kyoto TV was still airing cartoons today.
Liu Longtao didn’t plan to stay nearby anymore. Not that he was afraid of running into the monster… rather, he would be glad to encounter it, but he doubted he would be that lucky.
The Kyoto Yin Yang Institute headquarters must know the whereabouts of Orochi.
Alas, infiltrating enemy lines and gathering intelligence, shouldn’t that be the first cultivator of Lu Country’s job? Old Yan, that guy, spends his days sowing seeds with female cultivators, not doing any real work!
So when his harem blows up soday, I, Young Master Liu, will personally buy a machete for each of his won!
Liu Longtao controlled his sword and flew straight to the east.
Over the Danjiangkou Reservoir, Su Yunjin took a deep breath.
She began casting a spell.
The Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art differed from other Taoism thods. The Tianhe Water of the secret art was “summoned,” requiring very little True Yuan, making it easy to manipulate rivers and streams.
After advancing to the Golden Core Stage, her spellcasting ability had significantly multiplied. A large amount of river water poured down from the void, and the reservoir’s water level began to rise noticeably.
The researchers nearby recorded the monitoring data accurately. asuring her “water summoning limit” was the first step, followed by evaluating how to utilize this ability.
For example, due to the geographical and climatic conditions in the Northwest, large areas of arid desert could not be effectively used. Even with substantial resource and energy investnt in long-distance water transportation, it couldn’t be sustained, and the cost of manpower and materials was extrely high.
But with Su Yunjin’s ability, creating several large enough reservoirs and then periodically replenishing water could easily replace a national-level project to achieve the sa effect.
Obviously, these were just preliminary ideas. The imdiate task was to complete the first step of data collection.
Su Yunjin cooperated with the researchers, working for nearly an entire afternoon before finally excusing herself and returning to the Wudang Mountain base.
She had just opened her bedroom door when a hand pressed the door panel from behind, startling Su Yunjin to instinctively strike back with an elbow.
“Don’t elbow! Yunjin, it’s …” Yan Yu said helplessly.
At this mont, he had no strength left. He barely raised his hand to catch Su Yunjin’s attack, feeling like his entire body was falling apart.
“Captain? What happened to you?” Su Yunjin quickly helped him into the room and locked the door.
“Don’t tell anyone I’m in your room,” Yan Yu instructed, “Help to the bathroom.”
“Mm-hmm, okay.” Su Yunjin helped him to the bathroom, filled the tub with hot water, and helped him undress, only to find his body covered in bruises and nasty scars that made her heart sink and her face turn expressionless.
Although the wounds were not large, they seed recent. Bite marks, hickeys, scratches… Seeing this made Su Yunjin’s heart turn cold.
“You’ve been busy, Captain. Fighting with won again… huh, looks like more than one.”
“Who did this?” Su Yunjin asked coldly as she soaked a towel in hot water and helped him wipe his body.
“So were from the team; so were from outside,” Yan Yu replied.
“Why provoke so many people?” Su Yunjin couldn’t help but ask.
“I provoked them?” Yan Yu said helplessly, pouring out his bitter water, “Yunjin, they provoked ! They ca to deceive, to sneak attack, to threaten my man’s dignity, forcing to fight!”
“If you hadn’t provoked them initially, how would they have the leverage to threaten you now?” Su Yunjin asked calmly.
“Isn’t it all to give Lu Country a few more top-grade Golden Core True n?” Yan Yu said sheepishly.
“Well, so you got what you wanted,” Su Yunjin sighed, her slender fingers brushing across his body, injecting healing Runescript True Essence, “Since you prioritize national righteousness, don’t complain about personal feelings bothering you. Oh, how is your Primordial Yang so depleted; are you looking to die? Even a Golden Core body shouldn’t be abused like this.”
“That’s why I ca to hide here,” Yan Yu said indifferently.
“Who else is looking for you outside?” Su Yunjin asked.
“Probably Ruoxi and Sister Zhao,” Yan Yu pondered, “Ling Yun might be involved, but she’s likely busy preparing for Crossing Tribulation. Ningning is out of the question, she won’t be instigated by Sister Zhao.”
Su Yunjin listened quietly, realizing once again that Zhao Yuanzhen was causing trouble for the Captain, dragging Ruoxi along… really, like children who just tasted candy for the first ti, having no sense of moderation.
After cleaning the towel, hanging it on the rack, she saw the phone screen light up beside the sink.
It was a call from Zhao Yuanzhen.
“Hello?”
“Yunjin, is Yan Yu with you?” The other end asked impatiently.
“No,” Su Yunjin calmly replied, wrapping a strand of hair around her finger, “I just got back after finishing work outside, and haven’t seen the Captain.”
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Yuanzhen didn’t realize she was lying, only excitedly saying, “I finally exhausted his Vitality by eighty to ninety percent today, one more person and we can make him surrender! Ruoxi couldn’t find him, so he must be hiding from us.”
“Heehee! Yunjin, if you see him, don’t let him go. He used to bully us so much, we must make him submit this ti! Rember to take photos after, so he can’t act arrogant in front of us anymore!”
“Got it,” Su Yunjin agreed, hanging up the phone, looking at Yan Yu in the tub, who explained with a disheartened expression:
“Eighty to ninety percent exhausted? Just with her? I just finished helping Tang Xiaolian reach Golden Core Rank, so I wasn’t in peak condition. Otherwise, she wouldn’t stand a chance.”
“She doesn’t, but what about ?” Su Yunjin sat at the tub’s edge, asking casually.
“You…” Yan Yu almost said, “You’re even less likely,” but a sense of crisis and a strong desire for survival made him tense his spirit imdiately.
If the body that had just finished Dual Cultivation was only “not in peak condition,” then after Zhao Yuanzhen, Zhou Hongyu, and Tang Xiaolian, his body was now at the point where rest was urgently needed.
If Yunjin decided to let loose here… impossible, Yunjin wasn’t that kind of person, but just in case, he couldn’t take the risk.
“Of course, you can,” Yan Yu replied calmly, “Yunjin, you know it. My feelings for you are different from my feelings for them.”
“Wait, let record that.” Su Yunjin took her phone, operated it, “Okay, you can say it now.”
Yan Yu: …………
“Just kidding,” Su Yunjin laughed, seeing his awkwardness, “In your current state, it’s impossible for you to continue causing trouble for .”
Yan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening:
“I didn’t suspect you’d take advantage of . I trust you the most in the team.”
“Calm down. I’m not Ningning, soone who’d be overjoyed by a few nice words.” Su Yunjin helped him stand, drying his body, “Will you be sleeping here tonight?”
“Yes.”
“Then hold and chat with .”
“Okay.”
“You can rest only after I fall asleep.”
“Of course.”
Yan Yu thought, as long as you don’t trouble , I’ll agree to anything you ask.
But Su Yunjin didn’t ask for much, only joyously helping him to bed, then changing into a pretty, thin nightgown and snuggling into the covers with him.
