Chapter 1001: Shen Qixue Severely Wounded, Yu Miaoyin 'Dead', Bureau Chief Qian is About to Become a Martyr! |
...
As she spoke, Yu Liuli pulled out her own planning diagram.
Marked on it were the areas and some details for the reconstruction of the Path of Dry Bones 749 Bureau.
Yu Liuli said, "Previously, Path of Dry Bones 749 was destroyed because of Lu Ding. Now, it's being taken over and rebuilt by the Yu Family, with Yu Miaoyin personally overseeing the work."
"In a little while, Luochen and I will launch a frontal attack from this side, causing widespread destruction. You all will enter from this direction, reach this area, and secretly set up the Blood River Array to contaminate this zone."
"Understood!?"
A chorus of voices answered, "Understood!!!!"
Yu Liuli nodded slightly. "Move out!!!"
And at that moment.
The current Yu Miaoyin.
Was still at the construction site looking at the blueprints, discussing with someone, "Isn't this pile driven a bit off?"
Since she wasn't a professional.
She could only comment based on the diagram.
The middle-aged man beside her said with a smile, "Boss Yu, you might not know this, but if we drive the pile and pour the foundation like this, the edge will stick out, and it won't look good. So, I had them drive the pile a little off-center. It doesn't affect the functionality and also ensures aesthetics."
"If you think it's not acceptable, I'll have them redo it."
So that's how it is.
Yu Miaoyin pondered for a moment. She didn't think the man was trying to fool her; after all, these were all companies under her Yu Family's banner.
If they dared to mess with her.
They could take their grievances to the 749 Bureau.
"Alright, let's do it your way then."
As she spoke, Yu Miaoyin turned her head and looked over at Shen Qixue, who was responsible for construction site safety not far away. Since Shen Qixue was originally an investigator for Path of Dry Bones and was later taken in by Lu Ding.
The safety work for the reconstruction of Path of Dry Bones 749 naturally fell on her shoulders.
Earlier, after Lu Ding left, Shen Qixue and the others had finished their hotpot and gone their separate ways back to their posts. Work couldn't be delayed.
Yu Miaoyin called out, "Investigator Shen, after your shift change later, we'll go..."
Before she could finish.
Boom!!!!!!!!
A sudden attack blasted through, scattering dust and smoke, triggering an explosion.
Shen Qixue, who was at the epicenter of the explosion, was sent flying.
In her place stood the masked siblings, Yu Liuli and Yu Luochen.
A young man's voice rang out, "Quite skilled. With your back to me, taking my strike, you actually managed to react in time and defend yourself to save your life."
"A talent like yours being wasted as an ordinary investigator, watching over a construction site, is a pity. Join us, Wuwang. Whatever you want, you can have it."
Shen Qixue, her face deathly pale, stared at the newcomers. She spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, mixed with a few undigested enoki mushrooms. "I spit on that!!!!"
Her face gradually flushed with anger. "A bunch of rats who hide their faces, daring to talk big here! Even I can't get what I want serving under the Grand Duke. What gives you, who are being hunted down and killed by the Grand Duke Lu, the right to offer me anything!?"
As she spoke.
She secretly sent a message to her current direct superior, Qian Jin, then slapped the ground, launching herself up. She unleashed her full cultivation and struck with all her might!!!
For a moment, explosions rang out from all sides.
Meanwhile.
Bureau Chief Qian Jin, who was helping Fu Xinghe process documents and had a massive headache, received Shen Qixue's transmission.
His expression changed instantly.
Excellent, excellent, what perfect timing!
At last, he could stop dealing with documents.
He shot to his feet. "Secretary Fu, traces of those Wuwang scum have appeared at the Path of Dry Bones construction site. I'm afraid I can't continue accompanying you with the documents. I have to go and provide support."
Fu Xinghe quickly said upon hearing this, "Brother Lu isn't here, so we're short on high-end combat power. Hold on a moment, I'll call Old Long to go with you."
Qian Jin didn't pause as he walked straight out, responding, "No need, Secretary Fu. It's just some Wuwang scum. I'll take some Fifth Restriction investigators and Hou Dehai. That'll be enough. Old Long needs to hold down the fort to prevent a situation where they try to lure us away."
Fu Xinghe listened and had to admit the logic made sense. With Lu Ding away, unless it was absolutely necessary, they couldn't deploy Old Long.
To avoid leaving the base undefended.
But he was still a bit worried. "Remember to bring enough people. This is our turf; don't skimp on manpower!"
Qian Jin, having left the office, immediately called for Hou Dehai and a group of Fifth Restriction investigators, and they all pressed toward Path of Dry Bones.
At that moment.
The battle at Path of Dry Bones was exceptionally fierce.
Shen Qixue, who was already no match for Yu Luochen, was also injured by the ambush. Now, with Yu Liuli, a God Ascension realm Qi Refiner, joining the fray, Shen Qixue was subdued in just a few moves, her limbs broken and pinned to the ground.
Not the kind where bones were snapped, but truly severed. Her hands and feet were completely cut off. While they could be reattached later.
That would only happen if she could hold out until reinforcements arrived and managed to survive.
Shen Qixue, battered and beyond recognition, had also been influenced by Lu Ding's presence. She had shed her former rigid ways and the arrogance she carried when she was still serving at Path of Dry Bones.
She spat blood as she spoke, "If I said I'm willing to join Wuwang now, would you be willing to spare my life?"
Yu Luochen, who was about to deliver the killing blow, suddenly stopped. He turned his gaze forward, looking at the figure who had Yu Miaoyin in a single-handed chokehold, about to end her life, and called out.
"Sis!"
Yu Liuli paused for a moment, then turned back. "Speak."
Yu Luochen pointed at Shen Qixue on the ground. "She says she's changed her mind and wants to join Wuwang. Can we spare her life and take her with us?"
In his view, Shen Qixue had been beaten into submission.
Hearing this, a slow smile spread beneath the mask on Yu Liuli's face. The thought of poaching a genius from under Lu Ding's command filled her with immense satisfaction!!
Recently, they had been hounded like stray dogs by Lu Ding.
Now, with Lu Ding away, not only could they sabotage the 749 Bureau he was rebuilding, but they could also steal away one of his talented subordinates.
Perfect.
But Yu Liuli wasn't stupid, despite feeling pleased.
She scrutinized Shen Qixue, then casually tossed the Yu Miaoyin she was holding in front of her.
"Kill her, and I'll spare your life and let you join Wuwang. This will be your pledge of loyalty!"
As long as Shen Qixue dared to kill, she would never be able to turn back. Lu Ding's eyes couldn't tolerate a grain of sand. That was a truth understood throughout the entire new city.
If she refused, Yu Liuli would directly blast Shen Qixue into oblivion.
Shen Qixue understood this as well. Her previously hesitant eyes instantly hardened. "Sorry, Sister Yu."
She opened her mouth and spat out a blast of frigid air.
In an instant, Yu Miaoyin was frozen solid into an ice sculpture.
Yu Liuli sneered coldly. "Such a petty trick, you dare to..."
Before she could finish, cracking sounds came from the ice sculpture. The next moment, it shattered, scattering fragments all over the ground.
Yu Liuli had initially thought this was Shen Qixue's stalling tactic, freezing Yu Miaoyin to thaw her later. She never expected her to actually kill!!?
Well then, she had nothing more to say.
Shen Qixue, with her severely wounded body, struggled to lift her head. "Can you spare my life now?"
Yu Liuli nodded. "Yes."
Suddenly.
The temperature in the surroundings soared.
A furious roar echoed, "How dare you!!! Shen Qixue, I always knew you had a traitor's bone in you!!!! You dare betray the 749 Bureau and murder Yu Miaoyin! All of you, die together!!!!!"
An extraordinary phenomena roared, the Lava Rhinoceros standing tall against the sky, bringing waves of fire. Hou Dehai had arrived.
A powerful attack that made no distinction between friend and foe blasted toward them.
Yu Liuli turned to counter it, but in the next second, a flash of cold, sharp light from a flying dagger pierced through Yu Luochen, sending him flying.
Qian Jin appeared like a phantom, grabbing the injured Shen Qixue.
Before he could interrogate her.
Shen Qixue screamed, "Quick!!! Bureau Chief Qian, quickly retrieve Sister Yu's body! She can still be saved!!!!"
In that instant, everyone's expression changed.
Qian Jin didn't have time to think about anything else. He raised his hand to grab Yu Miaoyin's shattered remains.
Yu Liuli, upon seeing her brother injured, erupted in fury.
With one palm, she pushed back to block Hou Dehai's attack, while another palm struck out, hurling a wrathful blow toward Qian Jin's direction.
At that moment.
Facing the attack of a God Ascension realm cultivator.
The title of martyr seemed to beckon Qian Jin.
Finally, he was about to be freed from that mountain of paperwork.
At what might be the end of his life.
Qian Jin resolutely pulled Yu Miaoyin's body to him, shielding both her and Shen Qixue in his arms.
Seeing Qian Jin facing death with a smile on his face.
Shen Qixue screamed in despair, "BUREAU CHIEF QIAN!!!!!!!!!"

My dear readers, sorry for the late update today. I had some business to attend to that took up a lot of time. There's a possibility, just a possibility, mind you, that this novel of ours might be getting an anime adaptation.
