Chapter 136 Mother-in-law, do you know her?
"Granny Jinfeng, please look." Li Qiankun's voice was calm yet powerful. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward. As he moved, a strange power surged within his palm. It was the aura of a divine spirit, a power possessed only by the leader and Wu Gensheng. This power seemed to hold endless mysteries, inspiring awe.
Granny Jinfeng's eyes widened instantly. She stared at the strange power in Li Qiankun's hand in shock, and asked in a trembling voice, "This... is this a divine spirit? How... how can you have this?"
Li Qiankun smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of confidence and composure: "This is the clue for me to find the leader. I have mastered the spirit of the gods and can sense the aura of the leader. Although I cannot fully control this power yet, it is enough for me to find him."
A complex emotion flashed through Granny Jinfeng's eyes. She had personally witnessed the leader wield the divine spirit, a power so powerful and mysterious it was unforgettable. Now, to see this power manifest in a young man, she was both shocked and puzzled.
"You...can you really find him?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Grandma Jinfeng's voice.
Li Qiankun nodded firmly. "Yes, mother-in-law. I will definitely find the leader. If you are willing to trust me, please come with me."
Granny Jinfeng was silent for a moment, her heart filled with conflict and struggle. However, when she looked into Li Qiankun's determined eyes again, she seemed to see a ray of hope. Finally, she slowly nodded: "Okay, I'll trust you this time. But if you dare to lie to me..."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will never let you down." Li Qiankun interrupted her, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Xia Liuqing couldn't help but interrupt, "Jinfeng, don't listen to his nonsense. Wu Gensheng died a long time ago, how could he still be alive?"
Granny Jinfeng ignored him and just gave him a cold look. Li Qiankun said calmly, "Xia Liuqing, you've been secretly in love with Granny Jinfeng for so many years, but has she ever even glanced at you? Why bother to make yourself look bad?"
Xia Liuqing's face instantly turned ashen, and he angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
But Grandma Jinfeng said coldly, "Xia Liuqing, go away. You don't have to worry about my business."
Xia Liuqing still wanted to argue, but seeing the determined look in Grandma Jinfeng's eyes, he could only shake his head helplessly and turned away.
As night fell, the group arrived at a small farmyard. A dim oil lamp lit the yard, illuminating their tired faces. Suddenly, Granny Jinfeng's gaze fell on Sister Baoer, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes.
"How...how is this possible?" Granny Jinfeng muttered to herself. She looked at Sister Baoer carefully, as if she wanted to deeply imprint her appearance in her mind.
Li Qiankun asked curiously, "Mother-in-law, do you know her?"
Granny Jinfeng came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I know her. I met her many years ago. But...but why hasn't she changed at all?"
Li Qiankun's heart moved, and he asked, "Grandma, do you know what's going on?"
Granny Jinfeng shook her head: "I don't know. But...but I remembered something. About her, and about the leader."
As she spoke, Granny Jinfeng fell into deep thought. A scene from many years ago surfaced in her mind. Back then, she was still young, and the leader and Wu Gensheng were still alive. They had weathered many storms together, protecting this land together. And Sister Baoer seemed to have been by their side ever since that time.
"Baoer, you have been to that valley before, right?" Grandma Jinfeng asked softly.
Sister Baoer didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. Those clear eyes seemed to contain endless secrets.
Granny Jinfeng sighed, "I knew you were inextricably linked to the creation of the Eight Great Techniques."
Meanwhile, at the company's headquarters, far from the village, Xu San was sitting at his desk, flipping through a document. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were gleaming with worry.
"The mercenaries from Nasen Island have entered the Central Plains again, and their destination is Sichuan." Xu San said to his colleague next to him.
A colleague asked in confusion, "Sichuan? What's there there that's worth making such a fuss?"
Xu San shook his head. "I don't know. But I have a feeling this matter is related to Li Qiankun. Ever since the Biyou Village incident, Li Qiankun and his companions have disappeared without a trace. Did the people from Nasen Island suddenly come to Sichuan to look for them?"
With this in mind, Xu San decided to take action. He turned on his computer and began to write an email. He decided to inform Longhu Mountain of the developments on Nasen Island. After all, as a prominent sect in the alien world, Longhu Mountain should be aware of these matters.
The next morning, Zhang Chulan and his companions left the village, heading deeper into Sichuan. They rode their horses along the winding mountain road. Along the way, Chen Duo and Xinghua chatted and laughed, appearing delighted. Li Qiankun followed silently behind the group, his eyes revealing a determination and perseverance.
"This mountain road is so bumpy," Zhang Chulan complained. He was sitting on the horse, and the bumps along the way were a bit too much for him to bear.
Granny Jinfeng smiled and said, "Just bear with it. This is the only way to get to your destination."
Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Grandma, where are we going? It's so mysterious."
Granny Jinfeng looked at him, a hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes: "That is a place that few people know about, and it is also the key for you to solve the mystery of Sister Baoer's life experience."
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel curious and expectant. He wanted to know what the mystery of Sister Bao'er's life was, and why they went to that place so mysteriously.
As they went deeper into Sichuan, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate. Overgrown with trees and weeds, it looked like a primeval forest. Xia Liuqing became suspicious of the surroundings and observed everything with vigilance.
Suddenly, Zhang Chulan and the others discovered a body. It lay quietly on the side of the road, covered in wounds and blood. Zhang Chulan and the others immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.
Granny Jinfeng came forward and carefully examined the area around the body. Then, she pointed to the trees surrounding the body and said, "Look, the branches and leaves of these trees are covered in tiny insects."
Everyone then discovered that the branches and leaves of those trees were indeed covered with tiny insects. These insects looked insignificant, but they exuded a strange aura.
"These insects are extremely poisonous. Contact with them kills instantly," Granny Jinfeng explained. "These people are too arrogant, thinking they can run rampant with modern weapons. They didn't realize the forest's guardians are far more powerful than they imagined."
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan and the others couldn't help but feel awed. They knew that in this unknown forest, they had to stay alert at all times to avoid danger.
Just then, a gust of wind rustled the leaves. Everyone looked around alertly, only to see a group of black figures scurrying out of the woods. They were beast-like monsters, emitting a foul and bloody odor.
"Everyone be careful!" Li Qiankun shouted, and he immediately launched an attack. The divine spirit in his hand flashed with a strange light, as if to completely destroy those monsters.
However, those monsters were extremely cunning, and they nimbly dodged Li Qiankun's attacks. At the same time, they also continuously launched attacks on Zhang Chulan and others.
Faced with this sudden danger, Zhang Chulan and his companions had to fight a desperate battle. Relying on their own strength and wisdom, they fought fiercely with the monsters.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the monsters. However, this battle also cost them a great deal. Their bodies were covered with scars and blood, and they were exhausted.
"It seems this forest is much more dangerous than we thought," said Granny Goldfinch. "We must be more careful to find that place."
Li Qiankun nodded: "Yes, mother-in-law. We must always remain vigilant to avoid falling into greater danger."
With that, they set out on their journey again. They knew the road ahead was long and difficult, but they had to persevere in order to find the key to unlocking the mystery of Sister Baoer's life.
