Chapter 667
“……”
There was silence in the conference room.
Sidney Lee frowned.
White Drop’s strength had always been a mystery.
Including the origins.
White Drop was clearly not an ancient martial artist, nor had she fought any forbidden drugs.
Yet she had a high force value and possessed strength that did not belong to an ancient martial arts master.
After taking over the ibi from the previous director, Li Xini had specifically looked into Bai Drop’s origins.
There was no record of Bai Qi from her birth to her twentieth year, as if she had not existed before.
But when Li Xini found out about the location of the World City from Fu Yunshen, he finally realised.
I’m afraid that White Drop came from the City of Worlds.
However, it was estimated that even Bai Qianyuan himself was not aware of this matter.
It was because those who chose to leave the World City completely, whether actively or pa*sively, would have their memories erased accordingly.
Simon Grande, for example.
There was some concern for Sidney Lee.
The World City was a new location for them and no one knew what the real strength of the World City was.
There were even fewer people in ibi who had fought with White Drop.
But all of those who had fought her had lost, except for Fu Yunshen.
It was also because Fu Yunshen had beaten her that, during the internal riots at ibi a few years ago, Bai Qi led the agents under her command to side with Fu Yunshen.
Having worked with Bai Qi for so many years, Li Xini knows exactly what kind of person she is.
She was warm-hearted because she had helped many people who came to the ibi for help.
But it wasn’t wrong to say that she was cold-blooded and heartless either, because Bai Qi had cut off all personal feelings and only served ibi.
“Tie your hair.” Ying Zigui tied a high ponytail with a hair ring, revealing her white neck, and she raised her hand, “Please.”
“Decisive enough.” White Drop’s expression eased a little, “Come.”
“No, this ……” Anthony tried to step forward to stop it, but was held down by Sidney Lee.
He whispered, “You think the chief hasn’t thought of that? Don’t be nosy.”
Anthony could only shut up.
Several S-rank agents moved all the tables and chairs out of the way, leaving enough open space.
Also at the same moment, White Drop made her move.
Her stance was not flashy, just a very simple outburst of her palm.
“Boom!”
Ying Zidian raised her hand and directly met the palm.
The girl blocked it so easily that Bai Shen let out a soft “eek”.
But she didn’t stop, her attack was faster and more severe, and her strength was gradually increasing.
The two were in full physical combat, without any weapons.
But what was clearly a fight was so beautiful it was like a dance.
The girl’s waist was soft to the point of indifference, and she struck with great indifference.
Elbow strikes!
Roundhouse kicks!
The trained S-rank agents had looked dumbfounded and were beginning to wonder if they had received fake training.
Three minutes later.
One of the girl’s hands crossed in front of White Drop’s neck and the other firmly clasped her cleaving palm.
White Drop’s eyes changed.
Ying let go of her hand and took a step back, not slowing down, “Ms. White Drop, oblige.”
White Drop was an SS-ranked agent with high experience in combat.
No one else could tell, but she knew clearly that in just those three minutes of sparring, if it had been a real gunfight on the battlefield, she would have died at least fifty times.
Ying Zidian’s fighting skills were too strong.
Almost every move went straight for the opponent’s vitals, but at the same time did not expose her own weaknesses.
A born fighter, and a born killer.
Completely crushing.
“I’ve lost.” Bai Shen held Ying Zigui’s outstretched hand and stood up with a solemn expression, “I retract my opinion, you are not a vase that can only be looked at.”
Ying Zidian raised an eyebrow slightly, “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Compliment?”
“Well, you said I was good looking and discerning.”
White Drop: “……”
“Very good very good.” White Drop suddenly smiled, “If he bullies you in the future, you give me the word that I still have a voting card in my hand to re-elect the ibi supreme officer, and I’ll take the other S-rank agents and vote for you.”
“Prove to them that we women don’t lose to men.”
Sini Lee: “……”
Anthony: “……”
A few other s-rank agents: “……”
They just wanted to silently light a wax for their chief.
Ying Ziyi wasn’t really interested in the Commander ibi, she raised her eyes and cut to the chase: “Ms. White Drop, have you heard of the City of Worlds?”
White Drop’s physical strength was indeed not something that could be had by playing with forbidden drugs.
Moreover, she did not feel the presence of any internal energy in White Surrender’s body.
It could only be the genetic engineering of the City of Worlds.
“City of Worlds?” White Surrender frowned and shook her head, “Is that the message you guys sent back a while ago? I hadn’t heard of it before then.”
“Just a moment.” Ying pressed his headset, “I’m asking Ms. White Drop to meet someone.”
A few minutes later, the door to the conference room was pushed open once more.
Sinai poked her head in before finally entering slowly.
“Sister-in-law, you have all the children?” Anthony was surprised, “But why are her eyes blue?”
Sidney Lee pressed his head, “Oh my God ……”
Why is there a fool in his cohort.
Ying didn’t bother with Anthony, but asked, “Sinai, ever seen her?”
“Huh?” Sinai looked up and stared at White Drop for a long moment before his expression changed, “You’re not dead?”
These three words directly a*serted Bai Shen’s origin.
Ying Zigui’s eyes were slightly frozen, “You’re shocked that she’s not dead?”
“Of course I’m shocked.” Sinai pressed his watch, “You see, she was one of the first genetic experimenters codenamed no.7 at the Institute.”
“But none of the first genetic experimenters lived up to the Institute’s vision, so they all failed.”
A hovering 3d projection appeared in front of the crowd.
In the 3d projection, White Drop was wearing a white lab coat and lying in an experimental chamber.
Twenty years ago, at the beginning of the twentieth century, World City had only embarked on a genetic modification programme for people.
The whole room was shocked at these words.
White Drop’s expression changed dramatically: “I was originally a resident of the City of Worlds?”
“I don’t know why the Institute didn’t destroy you when the experiments on you failed.” Sinai said, “Given their style, they wouldn’t have let you go only.”
Ying tapped on the table, “It’s just a failure.”
A failed product was even comparable to an ancient martial arts master.
The City of Worlds was indeed unfathomable.
“Let’s go to the war-torn area first.” Ying Zigui stood up, faintly, “This matter will be postponed for now.”
White Descent was the first to salute, “Yes, sir!”
**
The following day.
Early morning.
Ling Mianxi sent Jiang Yan to the Hall of Justice.
“I’ll walk you here.” She put her hands in her pockets and stopped at the entrance of the city, “Go by yourself.”
Jiang Yan wondered, “Didn’t you say yesterday that you were going to the Hall of Justice to participate in the ring tournament to improve your strength?”
“Oh, because Ying told me to stay at home.” Ling Mianxi said, “So I won’t go out of the Ling family’s territory, I’ll wait until she comes.”
“Let you stay at home?” Jiang Yan was still puzzled though, “Fine, I’ll go.”
Ling Mianxi waved her hand and turned around to head back to the city.
After the Ling family and the ancient medical community started working together, the city they were in prospered quite a bit.
Ling Mianxi bought a few incense pouches and was ready to go back.
But just then, her ears twitched, catching some distant sounds.
Ling Mianxi’s expression changed.
She stopped going back to the Ling family, turned around and flew out of the city gates.
In a dozen seconds, she had already run three hundred metres.
Before she had time to see who was on the opposite side, Ling Mianxi clenched her palm into a fist and attacked.
“Boom!”
The two fists collided, and both sides took a few steps back.
But Ling Mianxi still firmly blocked in front of Jiang Yan, her eyes cold: “Xie, Nian!”
“Sister.” Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, “You leave me alone.”
Ling Mianxi sneered, “Shut up.”
On the ground were the corpses of an entire escort team from the Ling family.
All of them had died protecting Jiang Yan.
Xie Nian’s red lips curled up in an arrogant smile, “Ling Mianxi, I didn’t want to make a move on you, I couldn’t help it, who let your boyfriend be in my sights.”
“I, for one, don’t like to share anything with others, so before that, I’m going to get rid of you first.”
Before she could finish her words, Xie Nian moved.
But it wasn’t Xie Nian she attacked, it was Jiang Yan.
There was nothing wrong with Jiang Yan being a genius in ancient martial arts, but because his internal energy had been in riot for a long time.
He had only started his formal training after Ying Zigui had finished treating him over a year ago, more than ten years later than other ancient martial artists.
His cultivation level was completely incomparable to Xie Nian’s, who had been training since he was a child.
Xie Nian was able to make Jiang Yan’s five internal organs tumble with the wind of his palm.
This was the absolute suppression of a high-level ancient martial artist against a low-level ancient martial artist.
Ling Mianxi blocked as she led Jiang Yan backwards.
But at the same time, in order to protect Jiang Yan, she had also taken quite a few hard attacks from Xie Nian.
There was blood flowing down the corners of her mouth.
Seeing this, Xie Nian laughed: “Ling Mianxi, leave him alone, you know you can run on your own, just leave him alone.”
Ling Mianxi didn’t say a word, firmly following Xie Nian’s attacking move.
Their internal energy collided, air currents moved sideways, and there was a bursting sound in the air.
Xie Nian’s attack was frantic.
And finally, Ling Mianxi found an opening.
She raised her hand and slapped Jiang Yan’s back, sending him directly across the river, “Jiang Yan, go!”
At the same time, she took another hard slap from Xie Nian and a mouthful of blood spurted out, falling in drips and drops.
Jiang Yan’s expression changed greatly; “Sister!”
Ling Mianxi took a deep breath and her eyes were stern: “Jiang Yan, go! I repeat, leave! Do you want to die here too?”
“Have you forgotten what I said to you? A man is a man, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, you still have to hold up the Ling family!”
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, a choke emerged from his throat, turned around and ran.
He used his fastest speed and ran towards the Ling family.
Jiang Yan held back his tears, his eyes red, “Sister, wait for me, hold on, I’m going to find someone!”
The guards waiting by the side asked Xie Nian, “Eldest Miss, should we settle this together?”
Xie Nian glanced at Jiang Yan, who was running towards the distance, and didn’t care too much.
She was indifferent and sneered contemptuously, “Let him run, let him go and bring in help, I want to see which of the help he brings in dares to make a move on me.”
Of course, with the Ling Family’s Old Ancestor’s cultivation of around two hundred years, it would be easy to kill her.
But did the Ling Family’s old ancestor dare?
How could the Ling Family Ancestor ignore the lives of hundreds of people in the Ling Family and go up against Xie Huanran for the sake of Ling Mianxi?
Even if she were to kill the direct descendants of the Lin and Yue families today, the two families wouldn’t dare to say a word.
In the ancient martial world, there were too many ancient martial artists with higher ancient martial cultivation than Xie Nian, but no one dared to kill her because no one could afford Xie Huanran’s insane revenge.
Even Cheng Yuan had at most beaten her until she was seriously injured.
If Cheng Yuan really killed her, not a single person in the Martial Alliance would be able to survive.
Xie Nian hooked her lips, no longer hiding it, and attacked even more viciously.
Each move went straight for Ling Mianxi’s vitals.
Jiang Yan didn’t dare to turn back, he ran desperately, covering his mouth to keep from crying out.
He only hated himself for being too weak, for not having the strength to fight Xie Nian.
Ling Mianxi slowly wiped away the smile at the corner of her lips, her back still erect: “Is that all you’ve got?”
Xie Nian’s eyes sank bit by bit.
She was a half-step Ancient Martial Arts Master Patriarch, and her Ancient Martial Arts cultivation level had now broken the eighty-year mark.
Ling Mianxi wasn’t even seventy years.
It was amazing that she could still last so long.
Even though Xie Nian held the idea of a cat playing with a mouse, she didn’t have that much time to play.
She smiled grimly, “Ling Mianxi, this is the end, I will send you to the Western Paradise.”
Xie Nian gathered all her internal energy and attacked Ling Mianxi’s heart.
Ling Mianxi gritted her teeth and swallowed back all the blood.
She raised her eyes and Jiang Yan had already returned to the city.
Ling Mianxi let out a sigh of relief, her tense body relaxing, followed by an overwhelming tiredness.
At least her brother was okay.
She could rest easy.
At that moment, an angry roar rang out.
“Xie Nian!”
“Sister!”
Xie Nian glanced at the Ling clan elders and old ancestors who had hurriedly arrived not far away, wiping a handful of blood belonging to Ling Mianxi from her face.
She licked her lips and giggled, “Count yourself lucky!”
Xie Nian clapped her hands and had the guards throw the seriously injured and dying Ling Mianxi onto the ground casually.
Then, in front of all of Ling’s family, she left in an open and arrogant manner.
Chapter 668
“Xie Nian!” The Ling Family’s old ancestor’s eyes were wide with anger, “You seek death!”
The unprecedented anger caused his speed to rise again and he struck out directly at Xie Nian.
Xie Nian’s heart skipped a beat and there was a moment of panic.
She then calmed down and faintly glanced at the guards.
The guards clenched the cold blades in their hands and gritted their teeth.
When they followed Xie Nian on her mission today, they knew that there was an 80% chance that they would not be able to return alive.
The Xie family treated the guards like slaves.
For the safety of their families, they had to listen to Xie Nian’s orders as well.
The guards looked at each other and all gathered around them.
The Ling family’s old ancestor’s cultivation level was so much higher than theirs that they completely used their flesh to give Xie Nian time to leave.
Jiang Yan then watched Xie Nian sail away as he roared, “Xie Nian!”
In the distance, there fell her arrogant laughter.
“Come on, I’m waiting for you to kill me at the Xie family, as long as you dare, as long as you dare to take the lives of seven hundred and thirty-four people from the Ling family!”
These words brought the Ling Family’s old ancestor’s footsteps to a raw halt.
Jiang Yan’s heart also went cold.
Was there anyone in the ancient martial world who could beat Xie Huanran?
“Go back first.” The Ling Family’s old ancestor picked Ling Mianxi up with his wide sleeves and was silent for a moment, “It’s imperative to save Xiaomian first, if we can’t, let’s raise our family and leave the Ancient Martial Realm.”
Jiang Yan pursed his lips and clenched his fists.
He carefully shielded himself next to Ling Mianxi, and froze for a moment as his eyes glanced over.
In the hand of Ling Mianxi, who had fallen into a heavy coma and was already unconscious, was still holding an object in a dead grip.
Her mobile phone.
The shattered screen was stained with blood, and one could vaguely make out the page of WeChat.
**
The Ling family.
Ling’s mother was chatting idly with Ling Chonglou and Jiang Zuoping, all three of them with smiling faces.
That is, until the Ling family’s oldest ancestor hurriedly returned with Ling Mianxi in his arms, “Quickly go and invite Duke Fu Shen.”
He had already sealed Ling Mianxi’s acupuncture points, but there was still blood constantly left behind.
If he didn’t treat her in time, I was afraid her life would be in danger.
Ling’s mother just took one look at her and instantly fainted.
Jiang Zheping held her in time, and her heart trembled.
Ling Mianxi’s injuries were too severe.
The young girl’s skin was pale, like a broken rag doll.
Ling Chonglou’s face sank, “What the hell is going on here?”
“Dad, it’s me ……,” Jiang Yan whispered, “I was cut off by Xie Nian.”
Ling Chonglou frowned, “Xie Nian?”
“Let’s not talk about that right now.” Jiang Zheping shook his head, “Save Xiaomian first.”
The Ling family’s subordinates scrambled, and the butler immediately went to ask for Fu Shen.
Fu Shen had been stationed at the Ling family’s home, and his medical and ancient martial arts skills had improved considerably over the past few months.
But this was the first time he had seen such a serious injury.
After stopping Ling Mianxi’s bleeding and then bandaging her head, Fu Shen was silent for a moment: “I’m sorry, I’m not a good doctor, there’s a domineering internal energy in her body, I’m too low in cultivation to force it out.”
Ling Chonglou immediately decided, “I’ll try.”
“Uncle Ling, you can’t.” Fu Shen shook his head, “You have to be an ancient doctor to do it, the internal energy of ancient martial artists is too overbearing and will directly cause her meridians to be ruptured.”
Jiang Yan turned around, “I’ll go and find the old ancestor of the Fu family.”
“Can’t go.” The Ling Family’s Eldest Elder’s voice sank, “Just a moment ago I’ve already been to the pa*sage between the Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Realms, the Xie Family has two ancestors blocking it, both with Ancient Martial cultivation levels of three hundred years, they simply can’t get through.”
Obviously, the Xie family had been planning for a long time, just waiting for this day.
Fu Shen was anxious: “What about Miss Ying?”
“Father Ying, she, she is still outside.” Jiang Yan pursed his lips, “She’s gone to the war zone, it’ll take her more than ten hours to get back, is it still too late?”
“……”
Everyone fell silent.
The Ling family’s old ancestor’s body swayed, his expression disheveled.
Could it be that it was really just a matter of watching ……
The door was pushed open at that moment, and a familiar voice rang out.
It was cold and clear and possessed a rea*suringly powerful force.
“Fu Shen stay, the others go out.”
Jiang Yan turned his head sharply, surprised: “Father Ying!”
“Miss Ying!”
“Ziggy?!”
Ying Zidian wiped the thin sweat from his head and took a slow breath, “Speed, don’t drag out the time.”
The Ling family’s oldest ancestor was the first to react and immediately used his inner strength to take everyone out, closing the door in the process.
Ying Ziji sat down by Ling Mianxi’s bed.
Her fingers trembled as she looked at the young girl who didn’t even have blood on her lips.
This morning her premonition had become stronger and she had seen some new images.
The image was of a forest, and the location of Ling Mianxi’s accident was in the Ancient Martial World.
So instead of going to the war-torn area, she changed to another plane mid-flight to turn back to China.
But she was still a step behind.
Ying Ziji took a slow breath, put on her medical gloves and suppressed the hostility she hadn’t felt in a long time: “Scissors.”
Immediately, Fu Shen handed over the scissors.
The silent chamber was the girl’s methodical, cold voice.
“Gold needles.”
“Tweezers.”
“Seven inch long silver needles.”
Fu Shen handed them over one by one, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xie Nian’s methods were extremely vicious.
She had left her own internal energy inside Ling Mianxi’s body, and this residual internal energy was pounding Ling Mianxi’s internal organs all the time.
It was obvious that she wanted to turn Ling Mianxi into a vegetable.
Fu Shen let out a sigh of relief.
But fortunately, with his master, there was no one in this world who could not be saved.
**
Ling Chonglou and the others had been standing outside the door waiting, not even daring to sit down.
Every minute and every second was a torment.
Three hours later, the tightly closed door of the house finally opened.
The girl came out.
Ling’s mother, who had not long woken up, immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, her voice choked with sobs: “Ying, Miss Ying, please tell me, I can take it all.”
Ying Zidian didn’t answer and let the door open, “Auntie, come in.”
Ling’s mother froze and stumbled a few steps before rushing in.
If Ying Ziji could say that, then Ling Mianxi was absolutely fine.
“Father Ying, you scolded me, hit me.” Jiang Yan’s eyes were scarlet and he flopped down on his knees, his voice hoarse, “It’s all my fault, my sister did it to protect me ……”
If it wasn’t for him, Ling Mianxi could have escaped unharmed against Xie Nian even if she was undefeated.
“Since when do victims also believe in victim guilt theory?” Ying Ziji’s eyes were cold, “Are you suppressing yourself?”
“You really don’t look like the school bully I know when you’re like this, don’t make me say it twice, get up.”
Jiang Yan’s eyes grew even redder.
He was able to protect other students at Qingzhi.
But in the ancient martial world, he was so small as to be unbearable.
“Uncle Ling, Auntie Jiang.” Ying Ziji closed the door behind him and coughed, “Next, I have something important to say to you.”
Both Ling Chonglou and Jiang Ping’s expressions froze for a few moments.
This was the first time that Ying Ziji had spoken to them in such a solemn tone.
“Please take the Ling family and relocate to the secular world.” Ying Ziji’s voice was slow, “The Ji family has many villas, and a few hundred people will be able to live there, so it’s definitely enough.”
Hearing these words, the couple both froze.
Jiang Yan also froze, “Ying Dad?”
The secular world wasn’t suitable for ancient martial artists to cultivate.
This was the reason why the Ling family hadn’t moved away from the Ancient Martial Realm for so many years.
If they went to the secular world, their cultivation speed would be at least four times lower.
The Ling Family had indeed always had the idea of moving to the Secular Realm, only that it had never been executed.
“I’ll explain later.” Ying Ziji picked up his mobile phone and pressed a series of numbers.
It was the mobile phone number of the Judicial Hall Elders Group.
A few seconds later, the call was answered and she spoke, “Grand Elder, it’s me.”
“Oh, Miss Ying.” The Grand Elder’s expression was solemn, “Have you finished your business outside?”
The Ling family was hundreds of miles away from the Hall of Justice, and news of Ling Mianxi being seriously injured by Xie Nian had not yet reached them.
“Not yet.” Ying Zigui paused, “It happened suddenly, and there’s something that needs to be prepared by the Grand Elder immediately.”
The Grand Elder nodded, “You tell me, as long as it is within my capabilities.”
“Please, Grand Elder, take the entire Justice Hall out of the Ancient Martial World in seven days, to the Ancient Medical World or to the Secular World, but all entrances to the Ancient Martial World must be closed.” Ying said, “After that, if you never hear from me, you should all be settled by the end of June when you rejoin the Ancient Martial Realm again.”
Once the entrance to the Ancient Martial Realm was closed, even Wind Cultivators, without if, could not open the pa*sage.
After all, Ancient Martial Arts was only widening the physical limits of humans, not the immortal cultivation in urban immortal novels with any talk of ascension.
Even the strongest human could not blow up the continent with one punch.
These words made the Grand Elder fail to react immediately.
He had a bad feeling in his heart and giggled violently, “Miss Ying, what are you doing?”
Evacuating the Ancient Martial World was the next best thing.
Ying Zigui raised her head and looked in the direction of the Xie family.
She stroked her sleeve, her voice faint: “I’m going to kill Xie Nian.”
