Chapter 197 The Young Man with a Sword
However, Chu Miaomiao encountered Ye Mo here. As if there was some kind of attraction between them, they felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity the moment they saw each other.
Both sides realized that the other was a cultivator.
Chu Miaomiao said, "Shall we find a place to talk alone?"
Ye Mo nodded in agreement.
They found a quiet place and sat down.
Ye Mo said, "Some students are being persecuted, and I suspect it's the work of some martial artists in collusion with the demon race."
He told Chu Miaomiao that every year a group of students would disappear from the school, as if they had vanished into thin air. Everyone who knew about this kept quiet and didn't say a word.
Chu Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, "A student going missing is a serious matter! Haven't the parents come to demand justice?"
Ye Mo said to her, "You are too naive. Don't you know what kind of world we live in? With the invisible hand pressing down like this, the problems of ordinary people are no big deal. Just pay some money to shut them up, and that's enough. Otherwise, if anyone dares to keep harassing us like this, I'm afraid their entire family will be wiped out."
Chu Miaomiao's eyes were icy cold as she clenched her fists: "How can this world be so dark?"
Ye Mo sighed, "The demon race is in power!"
Yun Chen and Qin Xi moved into a new villa, but not long after, they were targeted.
Several cultivators appeared and approached them.
Neither of them was surprised.
There are certainly more than just the two of them who are cultivators in this world.
"Are you trying to disrupt the secular order?"
These are three cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining, and their aura is very strong.
Yun Chen retorted, "I think it's you who are disrupting the order."
The three cultivators were domineering and forceful: "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble in the mortal world!"
Yun Chen said, "I'll also give you a piece of advice: we're not to be trifled with. If you piss me off, you won't be able to handle the consequences!"
The three cultivators exchanged a glance, their expressions grim.
They identified themselves: "We're from the Dragon Group!"
Yun Chen's eyes were cold, and he said bluntly, "I don't care which group you're from. If you know what's good for you, leave now and don't make a mess of our house!"
The leading monk said, "You don't know the Dragon Group?"
Yun Chen warned, "I'll give you three numbers, get out of here, or you'll face the consequences."
The leading monk was speechless: "You..."
Yun Chen began the countdown: "Three!"
The three of them immediately felt a chilling killing intent.
They quickly retreated from the courtyard, saying, "You wait here."
Qin Xi shook her head, looking helpless.
A few days later, Chu Miaomiao returned from school, accompanied by Ye Mo.
Seeing this scene, Yun Chen and Qin Xi couldn't help but exchange a glance, guessing that there was something going on between the two. They understood each other without saying a word, and they also found Ye Mo quite pleasing to the eye, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if he were an old friend they hadn't seen for many years.
The two men brought news: "A large number of scriptures and artifacts have been discovered in an ancient cave in the Xianyou Mountains!"
The two found some information at the school, saying that the archaeology major had unearthed some ancient books.
When the news spread, Yun Chen and Qin Xi became interested.
Chu Miaomiao said, "I don't know how many scriptures there are. Those caves are full of dangers, and people nowadays dare not go deep into them."
Ye Mo said, "I think we should go and investigate now; maybe we'll make some new discoveries!"
He was very familiar with Yun Chen and Qin Xi.
The four of them discussed it and decided on this.
After gathering all the information, they immediately set off for the ancient Xianyou Mountain Range in Jiangnan. Once they entered the uninhabited area, the surrounding environment suddenly became gloomy, and some creatures roamed around.
This mountain range is full of mysterious legends.
Various signs prohibiting entry have been erected around the perimeter.
The four used their inner energy to protect themselves as they ventured deeper into the area.
Finally, we arrived at a huge canyon.
Rumble!
The roar of machinery could be heard from afar.
Helicopters were constantly taking off and landing in the mountains!
Yun Chen and his three companions approached silently.
Even from thousands of meters away, they could hear voices speaking. Chu Miaomiao was slightly startled: "Are they from the coal country?"
The four exchanged a glance.
They recognized the language those people were speaking.
Some of them spoke incoherently, not in Chinese at all, while others spoke fluent Mandarin.
The four of them flew up into a tall tree and gazed into the distance.
They could see it clearly from thousands of meters away.
There were some people in administrative uniforms, some young people who looked like students, and some elderly professors with white hair.
"No, these are important historical artifacts of our country, which can prove how glorious our country was in the past. We can't hand them over to foreign countries."
The old professor stepped forward, his face full of grief and indignation, and negotiated with the middle-aged man in a black administrative uniform.
"What do you know? This is called friendly cooperation."
"One box is enough for your research."
The middle-aged man sneered, ignored him, turned around and walked towards a foreigner, exchanged a few words with him, and then continued to direct the rough-haired white foreigners to move away a large number of boxes.
Beside them was a cave, from which people kept coming out, carrying out large boxes and crates. These boxes were all modernly made and very sturdy. When opened, they revealed a large number of ancient bronze artifacts and all sorts of strange objects that modern people could not understand.
In addition, Yun Chen and the others saw that some small boxes contained tattered books, and those boxes were being loaded onto the helicopter one after another.
As the last box was loaded onto the helicopter, the middle-aged man turned to the old professor and several young students, his face grim: "You've all signed confidentiality agreements. If any of you dare to spread this around, you'll face the consequences."
The old professor looked extremely pale and helpless, forced to watch as it all unfolded.
Fortunately, one last box of ancient books was left.
The students clenched their fists, their blood boiling with anger and resentment, but they dared not speak out. They couldn't utter a single word. Faced with such a powerful figure, no matter how unhappy they were, they could only endure it.
A kilometer away, the mountains and forests are dense.
Yun Chen and the other three exchanged glances.
Ye Mo clenched his fists, making a cracking sound: "They're really outrageous! They've even come here to steal scriptures and ancient relics! They're truly world-class bandits!"
Chu Miaomiao spoke up, quite indignantly: "Let's take action and deal with them. We can't just stand by and watch them send these ancient relics away."
Qin Xi nodded, her eyes burning with anger.
Yun Chen waved his hand slightly: "Someone's coming."
The three of them quickly composed themselves and looked into the distance.
A cultivator appeared, seemingly not much older than them. He carried a sword wrapped in coarse cloth on his back and moved very fast. Each step he took seemed like teleportation, appearing dozens of meters away. This completely defied the laws of physics. It was more like some kind of movement technique. He easily crossed all the rugged terrain obstacles.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the group of people.
"Who goes there!"
Immediately, someone raised a gun and aimed it at the young man.
Yun Chen and the others saw it clearly.
This young man was tall and upright, with a handsome but cold face. His black hair was tied up in a topknot, and he exuded an extremely imposing aura.
He appeared before those people like that.
From all directions, there were also a large number of fully armed personnel, carrying live ammunition; those were foreign soldiers.
"Hands up! Don't move!"
This sudden turn of events left many people stunned.
This has never happened before.
This Chinese man looks so strange.
"I told you to put your hands up, did you hear me?"
"Or we'll open fire!"
The young man reached behind him, took out the strip-shaped object, unwrapped the coarse cloth covering it, and took out a sword.
A soldier reacted quickly: "Drop your weapons!!"
The young man simply raised his hand and swung the sword violently!
*Pfft!*
An invisible sword aura swept out!
Before the soldier could fire, a bloody head flew off, staining the surroundings with blood.
"ah!!"
In an instant, many people screamed in terror!
Bang bang bang!
The others immediately realized what was happening and opened fire.
As a result, all the bullets were blocked by an invisible airflow. The airflow swirled and was extremely sharp, instantly tearing the bullets apart.
The young man moved with incredible speed, wielding his sword so fast that no one could react to it.
In the blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers right there!
The speed was so fast, it was unimaginable.
Several students fainted on the spot.
"You...you're a martial artist!!!"
The middle-aged man in black was terrified. He took a deep breath and then immediately calmed down. Being in a high position, he had seen a lot and knew that only martial artists could use such methods.
