One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Within his palm, the dark purple Yin Five Thunder had begun to crackle.

The crowd was separated.

A person wearing a white mask but a gray trench coat slowly walked out from the back of the crowd.

Clearly, he was the leader of this group.

The leader ignored Zhang Lingyu's question.

He simply looked past Zhang Lingyu and quietly gazed at Xia He behind him.

From beneath the mask came a voice that was neither clearly male nor female:

"Miss Xia He."

"Some secrets in this world should never see the light of day. They should be kept inside us forever, like rotting flesh."

The leader spoke calmly and deliberately, as if stating an objective truth:

“If you tell anyone, it will do you no good, it will do the Celestial Master’s Mansion no good, it will do no good for anyone…”

"So, for everyone's sake."

"I'm afraid you two will have to rest here for a while."

Upon hearing this, Xia He's face instantly darkened.

She knew that the other party was after her!

"You want me to shut up?"

Xia He sneered, pink Qi swirling around her. "That depends on whether you have the ability!"

"My hands are freezing."

The leader didn't waste any words, uttering only two words.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

More than a dozen dark figures shot up from all directions like arrows released from a bow!

"The Azure Pools of the Northern Frontier!"

Zhang Lingyu held nothing back, immediately unleashing the deadly Yin Five Thunder attack!

Thick, dark purple lightning plasma spread outwards like a tsunami, attempting to engulf all these mysterious figures.

Faced with the terrifying jets of lightning, none of the men in black dared to confront it head-on.

Their movements were extremely strange; their feet seemed to be covered in oil, and they moved as slippery as eels to dodge attacks.

These people do not attack, do not fight head-on, and retreat at the first contact.

"What's going on...?"

Zhang Lingyu's heavy blows missed their mark several times in a row, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

These people weren't top-tier in terms of strength, but their movement techniques were extremely difficult to deal with.

"Are they... stalling for time?"

“Spirit Jade…”

Just as Zhang Lingyu was preparing to gather the lightning net and carry out a wide-ranging, indiscriminate coverage.

Suddenly, Xia He's weak voice came from behind.

Zhang Lingyu suddenly turned around.

Xia He's originally rosy face had turned as pale as paper.

She covered her forehead with one hand and held Zhang Lingyu's shoulder with the other, her body swaying precariously.

"You're injured?!" Zhang Lingyu exclaimed in surprise.

"No...no..."

Xia He bit her lip, her eyes began to glaze over, and even the pink aura surrounding her was starting to falter.

"It's...it's the scent of the car air freshener..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu's heart sank.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible sense of heaviness surged into his brain like a tidal wave.

The Qi within the body began to dissipate and stagnate at an alarming rate.

A strong ache and weakness washed over my limbs and bones.

"Drugs..."

Zhang Lingyu bit her tongue, trying to stay awake with the pain, but the drug's effects were too overpowering, and even the Yin Wu Lei's thunder energy couldn't expel it from her body!

In fact, the more you circulate your Qi, the faster that feeling of powerlessness comes on!

"Miss Xia He, stop struggling."

The leader stood at a safe distance, watching the two swaying figures, his tone still calm:

"That's a high-concentration nerve inhibitor specifically developed for the meridians of extraordinary individuals."

“You’ve been inhaling the medicine all the way in the car, and you just used your Qi very intensely. The effects of the medicine have already spread throughout your body.”

"Get some sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over."

"mean……"

Zhang Lingyu's vision grew increasingly dark.

With his last ounce of strength, he turned around and held the limp Xia He tightly in his arms.

Then, his legs went weak, and he knelt down on one knee on the wasteland with a "thud".

As the white masks drew closer, Zhang Lingyu's vision was completely plunged into darkness.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 130: A Web of Intent Covering Half of the Capital!

Capital International Airport.

The arrival hall was bustling with people.

Zhang Chulan was holding up an oversized welcome sign and craning his neck to peer inside.

Beside him, Feng Baobao was holding a candied hawthorn and eating it heartily.

"It's weird..."

Zhang Chulan glanced at the flight information display screen in the center of the hall.

He glanced down at the time on his phone again, his brows furrowing.

"This flight from Jiangxi landed more than half an hour ago. Logically speaking, even if Junior Uncle and the others are slow, they should have come out by now, right?"

"Sister Bao'er, you were staring at the exit just now, did you see a man and a woman who were particularly good-looking and had a very striking presence?"

Zhang Chulan nudged Feng Baobao's arm.

Feng Baobao swallowed the hawthorn in her mouth and shook her head expressionlessly.

"No. I've seen everyone who came out; there's no one with white hair, and no one with pink hair."

The unease in Zhang Chulan's heart gradually grew.

Junior Uncle Zhang Lingyu is an extremely punctual and rule-abiding person.

Since this flight was mentioned, it's absolutely impossible for it to lose contact without reason, let alone get lost in the airport.

Something's not right.

Zhang Chulan decisively shoved the sign he was picking up at the airport into the nearby trash can, quickly pulled out his phone, and dialed Xu Si's number.

"Hey, Fourth Brother, help me investigate something."

Zhang Chulan's voice was very low, and he spoke very quickly: "Check the surveillance footage of the VIP passage in Terminal 3 to see if Zhang Lingyu and Xia He have come out yet."

"I've been squatting here for ages and haven't seen a single ghost."

Xu Si, on the other end of the phone, was idly smoking and slacking off.

He sensed the seriousness in Zhang Chulan's tone and immediately accessed the company's internal security system without saying a word.

Less than two minutes later, Xu Si's voice came through, tinged with surprise:

"Chu Lan, the surveillance footage shows that they came out of the VIP channel twenty minutes ago."

"And... they got into a black Mercedes-Benz van. I checked the license plate; it was a fake car with a counterfeit plate."

"what?!"

Zhang Chulan's heart sank suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

"Fourth Brother, I didn't arrange a Mercedes! I called a Buick! Who's the driver?!"

"The driver was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen, but his technique was very professional, and he avoided several high-definition cameras."

Xu Si's voice also turned serious: "Chu Lan, they were picked up in advance. The other party was obviously prepared."

"grass!"

Zhang Chulan cursed under his breath and hung up the phone.

He was all too aware of the stakes involved.

Xia He was holding a shocking secret, but it was intercepted at this moment. Clearly, the person behind the scenes was in a hurry and wanted to forcibly silence her!

But who exactly is the other party?

They even know the exact itineraries of the Celestial Master's Mansion and the All-Access Network?!

"Sister Bao'er! Stop eating! Something's happened!"

Zhang Chulan grabbed Feng Baobao's wrist and turned to run wildly towards the parking lot outside the airport.

As he ran, Zhang Chulan analyzed the situation in his mind.
