Chapter 182 An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Friend
Chapter 182 An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Friend
"Let's go find Brother Tian." After lingering for a long time outside the ruins of the White Prison Palace, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly said.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Wu said, "Let's go. Things have come to this point; we have to go even if it's dangerous."
After Su Ming left, something extraordinary happened in the Red Zone. Super-level magic was being thrown around like it was nothing, and each one exceeded the limits of super-level magic. This was not a good thing.
They were too weak and could only drift along with the tide, but Jiang Shaotian was different. With him around, they could have some initiative and wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
The group exchanged glances and all felt it was necessary to find Jiang Shaotian.
Upon arriving at the White Prison Palace, all that could be seen were ruins, and there was not a soul in sight.
"Search more thoroughly, turn the ground upside down. Although it's unlikely, I have a feeling that Jiang Shaotian has been buried alive," General Manager Wu shouted, his mood somewhat heavy.
After spending time searching the entire area, they finally found no trace of Jiang Shaotian, which relieved them in a way.
But now the question is, where did Jiang Shaotian go?
What important thing could make him disappear without a trace?
They couldn't figure it out, and they had no other clues, so they could only gather together.
With very little information at their disposal, they had no opportunity to speak, leaving them sitting idly in a somewhat heavy atmosphere.
"Sigh—" Mu Bai sighed, then walked to the side. He felt very lost now. He had come in knowing nothing, stayed there knowing nothing for almost two years, and was now just staring blankly, completely clueless.
There's nothing for them to do now, so they can only wander around aimlessly. This hardly counts as training; it's just going through meaningless things and wasting time.
What exactly is the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds thinking?
They let us in to look for something without providing any clues. How are we supposed to find it?
Moreover, the bell rang again earlier. They didn't know what the source was, but it was definitely not something good. This was what drove them to come up and find Jiang Shaotian.
They need a powerful mage to keep them in check and prevent them from being drawn into an unavoidable conflict.
Zu Chuan is still in a coma, and it's unknown whether he will ever wake up.
Mu Bai suddenly noticed someone walking up from below.
Mu Bai was quite far away from them and didn't think to inform them. The black jacket, sweatpants, and neatly combed hair gave Mu Bai the impression as soon as he entered, which meant that the other party had just entered?
There is indeed a battle taking place here, but those outside don't know that. People are still constantly coming in, so it's not surprising that one has suddenly appeared.
But as he approached, Mu Bai frowned. This guy seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Mu Bai walked down a little, and the other person seemed quite happy to see him, skipping and jogging up to him.
"Mu Bai, long time no see." The other person immediately shook Mu Bai's hand, clearly recognizing him.
After a brief moment of confusion, Mu Bai remembered who the other person was; the two had worked together once before.
"Long time no see, Liu Qi." Mu Bai said with some emotion, not expecting to run into him here.
Liu Qi had gone to Helan Mountain with them before, and they went inside again along the way. They didn't know if Liu Qi ever came out, but it seems he did.
He and Su Ming have a very good relationship, and he likes to call Su Ming "boss".
The two chatted for a while, mainly about what they had done since the last time at Helan Mountain, which had been three years ago.
"By the way, what are you doing here? This isn't a good place," Mu Bai asked, frowning. He wouldn't have wanted to come in if he could avoid it.
Note that there is no certainty; whether they live or die is entirely up to luck. Even someone like Jiang Shaotian disappeared without a trace. The Department of Sound could have contacted them at any time, but they didn't.
Something must have happened to cause this to happen:
"Oh, this? I came to the ancient capital to see if our boss was there, and I unexpectedly found out that he had entered the ancient tomb, so I decided to come in too," Liu Qi said.
"Su Ming is indeed here, but—"
"However?" Liu Qi asked, puzzled.
Mu Bai didn't know what to say. He only knew that Su Ming was currently being controlled by his summoned beast Xiao Qing and had run off somewhere, probably to deal with something.
Mu Bai gave a brief explanation, but didn't mention being controlled by Xiao Qing. He only said that they were temporarily separated because Su Ming had his own things to do.
"Can we get out of here?" Liu Qi then asked.
"It won't work. We've been here for a long time, but we haven't found any clues." Mu Bai shook his head.
"I see." Liu Qi pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
"By the way, I'm going to find the boss. Do you guys want to come along?" Liu Qi asked.
Mu Bai's expression changed. He would definitely go to find Su Ming under normal circumstances, but now Su Ming was being controlled by Xiao Qing, and even a casual strike from him was comparable to a super-level magic. He must be fighting with someone right now.
For example, those two prison guards, and the Black Church's Nine-Headed Serpent, even super-level mages would seek death in the past, let alone these mid-level mages.
Moreover, those big commotions before were most likely caused by Su Ming, and those fluctuations might have even made President Wu tremble with fear.
Fear of death was one aspect, but going there would hinder Su Ming was another.
Mu Bai pondered for a moment and decided to take Liu Qi to General Manager Wu's place; persuading him together would be more effective.
Moreover, Jiang Shaoxu and Su Ming are from the same magic school. Liu Qi and Su Ming have such a good relationship, so maybe he also has a good relationship with Jiang Shaoxu. She might be able to persuade Liu Qi not to take the risk.
After all, he was just a mid-level mage. In the current chaotic situation, even super-level mages dared not make any rash moves.
Mr. Wu is powerful, isn't he? A super-level mage, but right now he can't do anything. He even hesitated several times before deciding to come here to find Jiang Shaotian.
Getting back up is one thing, but these days even high-level mages have a tough time, and mid-level mages are just cannon fodder.
This is even more tiring than fighting undead outside the ancient capital. After all, a mid-level mage outside the ancient capital is a notable figure, and a peak mid-level mage is not weak either. But what kind of creatures are here? An ultimate monarch can be as powerful as a super-level mage. There is no comparison at all.
There are always people outside to back you up, but not here.
"Let's go meet up with my teammates first. We'll see if we need to go find Su Ming. Oh, right, Jiang Shaoxu is here too. If you know Su Ming, you'll know Jiang Shaoxu too, right?" Mu Bai said, leading Liu Qi back to where the group had gathered.
There were four people in total: Mu Qianjin, President Wu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Zu Chuanshuo, who was lying on the ground unconscious.
