Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 166 Yi Yan
Xiao Nuo's eyes lit up with surprise, but Ye Qiu Mian glanced around and frowned, saying, "You guys are just planning to walk to the state capital base?"

Before departing from the state capital base, Ye Qiumian downloaded an offline map onto her phone.

That's why she was able to detect so much special energy so quickly.

This place is more than 30 kilometers away from City A, the closest city to the state capital base.

Her residential complex, Ruiya, is in City B, which is even further away, more than 20 kilometers away.

It's so far, wouldn't it take two days to walk there?

She can't handle this hardship.

Moreover, she is a cultivator, and it only takes her less than half an hour to arrive by flying.

I suddenly regretted agreeing so hastily.

Xiao Nuo felt a little embarrassed when she heard her question.

She left the Qinglong base in two cars.

But later, the car was destroyed by the men sent by Yu Wenhao, so they had to abandon it and run all the way here.

I recalled the scene when Ye Qiu Mian appeared; she arrived in something that looked like a boat.

That thing can change size, which looks quite magical.

It was indeed inappropriate for Sister Ye to walk with them to the prefecture city.

She looked up apologetically: "Indeed, we had a car, but those people damaged it. Sister Ye, why don't you go ahead?"

Ye Qiumian did not agree immediately, but looked behind Xiao Nuo.

At this moment, Xiao Yan hid behind Xiao Bin, clutching his arm anxiously, her eyes filled with fear.

They looked terrified by those people.

Ye Qiumian asked, "Why did Yu Wenhao send people to kill you?"

The Heavenly Dao said that the wind-type ability user He chose was seriously injured and could only retain his level nine ability. He had no hope of reaching the god level.

Ye Qiumian thought that person should be Xiao Nuo.

When she met Xiao Nuo at the foot of the mountain some time ago, she could indeed feel the wisps of power of rules surrounding Xiao Nuo.

At the time, Ye Qiumian thought that when a superhuman reached level nine, they would be able to comprehend a trace of the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

After all, when she encountered Xiao Nuo on her way to Lincheng, she couldn't sense any power of rules within Xiao Nuo.

The two lucky individuals she later encountered were both able to sense the power of rules emanating from them.

It turns out that he was a chosen one favored by Heaven, who bestowed upon him a sliver of fortune, which is why his body was surrounded by the power of rules.

Unfortunately, when I looked at Xiao Nuo again this time, the power of the rules on her body had disappeared.

So what did she go through?
Perhaps it's because Xiao Nuo has never been wary of Ye Qiu Mian whenever they encounter a crisis.

Hearing her concern for him, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

Thinking of what Yu Jiahui had done, Xiao Nuo's eyes were filled with hatred. "Yu Jiahui and Song Yiqiao burned my grandmother to death, so I killed them!"

Her voice carried an almost insane stubbornness, and the fluctuations of wind-based supernatural abilities subtly stirred around her, causing the surrounding pebbles to tremble slightly.

This world is undergoing an upgrade, and the Heavenly Dao needs god-level superhumans who can bear the essence of "life".

Xiao Nuo possesses wind-based superpowers, and with the agility of wind, she should be the one most able to follow the rules of heaven and earth and forge ahead without hesitation.

However, at this moment, Xiao Nuo's superpowers stagnated and even showed signs of regression.

She recalled the suppression of rules she felt when she broke through to the Mahayana stage—the world was filtering and reshaping.

Someone like Xiao Nuo, trapped by hatred, would not only be unable to uphold the rules, but would probably even have their own special abilities go awry.

Since they had met a few times before, and Ye Qiu Mian happened to be free at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to help them out.

“Yu Wenhao will send people after us. The state base is a bit far from here, so let’s drive my car.”

Xiao Nuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Ye." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ye Qiu Mian conjure up three cars out of thin air.

This is something she received from her online space when she was cleaning the road.

The SUV that appeared out of nowhere made the surroundings instantly quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Xiao Nuo's hand was still frozen on her cheek, tears welling up in her eyelashes, she had forgotten to wipe them away.

She looked at Ye Qiumian, her voice trembling with disbelief: "Sister Ye, you...you are a space ability user?"

Spatial abilities are extremely rare.

Since Zheng Shuxue's death, there has been no news of any space-type ability users.

The Xiao Bin couple opened their mouths, the words of thanks stuck in their throats. Even the other survivors stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

Ye Qiu Mian did not answer her question, but only glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "Get in the car."

As she spoke, she turned and opened the driver's side door.

Xiao Nuo snapped back to reality, wiped her face, and said, "I'll drive!"

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes filled with stubbornness. "Sister Ye, I'll drive carefully."

Seeing that she insisted, Ye Qiumian stopped refusing, turned around, walked past the front of the car, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

The engine started, and the off-road vehicle took the lead, heading towards the state capital base.

The people in the two cars behind hurriedly followed, their wheels rolling over the gravel road, leaving a trail of tire tracks that gradually receded into the distance.

More than forty minutes later, the group arrived at the state capital base without incident.

The high walls of the state capital base stood tall in the twilight, and the figures of guards with guns in hand moved across the watchtowers.

"Stop here," Ye Qiumian suddenly said.

Xiao Nuo stepped on the brakes, and the SUV came to a steady stop on the road outside the base.

The two cars behind stopped when they saw the car in front stop.

The people in the car got out immediately.

As Ye Qiu Mian walked to the two cars, the moment her hand touched the car body, the two cars instantly transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into her palm.

Xiao Nuo gasped, her surprise returning as she had just recovered.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiaobin bowed repeatedly, their words filled with gratitude: "Miss Ye, our whole family will never forget your great kindness! If you ever need us in the future, we will definitely do our best to help you."

Ye Qiumian waved her hand but didn't reply.

Xiao Nuo tactfully opened the car door and stepped aside.

Ye Qiumian sat in the driver's seat, the engine gave a low hum, and the off-road vehicle slowly drove into the base gate.

In the rearview mirror, Xiao Nuo's family's figures grew smaller and smaller.

Ye Qiumian turned the steering wheel, and the vehicle turned onto the main road leading to City B.

The wheels rolled over the smooth cement ground within the base, leaving a shadow that grew smaller and smaller.

……

As soon as the streetlights in Ruiya Community came on, Ye Qiumian pushed open the door and entered the house, casually hanging her coat in the entryway.

She took out her phone, tapped the screen with her fingertip, and dialed Chu Qingyang's number.

"Help me find someone." Her voice was calm. "Is there a girl named Yi Yan in the base?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Chu Qingyang's voice carried a hint of surprise: "Yi Yan? What do you want with her?"

He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, "I have a subordinate named Yi Yan, but I'm not sure if she's the one you're looking for."

He tapped his fingertips on the table, quickly going through the motions in his mind.

A while ago, Fang Jun and Yi Yan secretly went out to hunt for crystal cores. When they came back, they were bruised and battered, both of them quite badly injured.
