Chapter 2083 - 2081: Intersecting Time and Space, Transformed Lives (29)

Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao remained silent all along.

Finally, Gu Qingfeng left.

He actually wanted to take Qiaoqiao back to Gu Garden right away, after all, in terms of security, it was safer there, and it was her home, where everything he owned would eventually belong to her. However, when he made this request, Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head in refusal and wrote on paper, "Give me some time. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression had softened significantly.

Because by this time, Gu Qiaoqiao had come to some realization: if the world didn’t collapse or fall apart, then it had to continue moving forward. If she could meet that person she had intersected with, she would advise her to live well.

At the doorway, Qin Yize stopped, quietly watching Gu Qiaoqiao.

At this moment, although a thousand words were stuck in his throat, he couldn’t utter a single word, simply advising her in a low voice, "You must be careful."

Gu Qiaoqiao paused momentarily, but finally nodded slowly.

After the others had left, Gu Qiaoqiao began to search for where Liang Yan was located, unexpectedly discovering she was in Nanli City.

The place was also near the border.

There was a region that, though in another country, was out of reach for any sides’ powers.

It was extremely chaotic, forming its own world, a kingdom unto itself, with a ruthless leader.

This time, Fong Lei went to pick up Liang Yan out of necessity because Liang Yan had lost contact with the organization. Although many believed she had already sacrificed, living needed to see her and dead needed to see her body, plus she carried important documents and secrets.

The Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation was already in a state of being activated.

Gu Qiaoqiao swiftly entered her own space. She found that performing space and time crossing operations within the space was twice as effective, so she aimed to find Liang Yan here.

She could already sense that Liang Yan was alive, though the aura was very weak, she was indeed alive.

Gu Qiaoqiao reopened the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation within the space.

With the fourth layer activated, the entire Imperial Capital City came under her control, and Gu Qiaoqiao projected her mind power to the location of Nanli City. Suddenly, a shadow of the city appeared in front of her eyes, and she began to sense it bit by bit.

A few breaths later, her mind power bounced in her head, and Gu Qiaoqiao felt joy in her heart, increasing the spiritual energy in her fingers. The dense spiritual energy permeated the space and began swirling like a vortex, enveloping Gu Qiaoqiao’s entire body.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao saw Liang Yan, barely alive and lying in a cave shrouded by green trees and weeds.

This was still outside the border, but very close to the national boundary. Gu Qiaoqiao was delighted to find a friendly team advancing through the dense forest nearby.

The leader was Master Fong Lei; perhaps it was fate. Although Liang Yan was very close to them at this time, it was only in direct line. To reach her, they needed to detour around two mountains, which would take two days. It was apparent that Liang Yan couldn’t hold on for two days.

Although she was alive, her vitality was extremely weak.

If it weren’t for her extraordinary abilities, she wouldn’t have been able to discover her hiding spot. Beside her was a black briefcase, evidently the data she risked her life to obtain.

Liang Yan was covered in wounds, with a severe chest injury and a bullet lodged in her left shoulder.

At the same time, two teams were searching for her, and they were the enemy forces.

They were armed, with merciless, inhumane eyes, frantically searching for their target.

Gu Qiaoqiao had no doubt that if Liang Yan were discovered by them, she would face cruel treatment.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression tightened, and she unhesitatingly sent spiritual energy remotely to Liang Yan’s body, first protecting her fatal wound, and then wrapping spiritual energy around her wounded shoulder, where a bullet required surgical removal.

Though she could remove it herself, it was too risky; face to face, it would be feasible, but at such a distance, if not careful, Sister Yan could lose her life. It was a risk Gu Qiaoqiao dared not take.

So this approach was the most reliable.

Moments before, Liang Yan, who was barely hanging on, improved slightly under the nourishing of a few streams of spiritual energy. Her breathing steadied, bringing some relief to Gu Qiaoqiao, who then set up a barrier at the front and back of the cave entrance.

She wouldn’t let anyone find Sister Yan until Brother Fong Lei discovered her.

At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao already had confidence in her heart.

This lifetime, Sister Liang would be fine and live happily with Brother Fong Lei.

With this thought, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression finally relaxed, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually eased.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao focused her attention on the two enemy teams. She considered trying to channel the Heaven and Earth’s Foul Qi onto these two teams.

Those people’s hands were stained with blood; even if something happened to them, they deserved it.

So Gu Qiaoqiao, with no psychological burden, reached out her hand. Perhaps her abilities had improved, as she easily channeled all the Heaven and Earth’s Foul Qi onto the two teams.

The effect of the malevolent energy backlash was unmistakably apparent: first, a few fell into a cliff, then a few were attacked by suddenly appearing poisonous snakes. In less than half an hour, out of thirty people, only three remained from the two teams. Gu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief; these three posed no immediate threat, but she wouldn’t let them remain.

Otherwise, if they returned to report, the dozens of miles of mountain roads would still be fraught with danger.

So Gu Qiaoqiao quietly observed the three men, who by now were panicking. They couldn’t believe that the dense forest they used to traverse with ease, which ordinary people dared not enter and felt like their own backyard, had now turned into their death trap.

The traps, though easily avoidable by people, were still stepped right into; and the poisonous snakes, which they could usually kill with a single swing, were moving faster than their knife-wielding hands.

Nanli City’s surrounding forests were home to many venomous creatures, some snakes deadly in one bite, and unluckily for them, they encountered such snakes.

So now only three of them remained.

Not only failed to find the target, but they also suffered losses; their leader was dead. A junior captain and two team members were what remained, cautiously surveying their surroundings. They were certain there was no one else nearby, ruling out a setup trap.
