#476 - Chapter 475: I Should Punish Him With My Force
Li Chenqiu frowned, patting the mural and muttering, "This mural can't be broken, can it?"
Thinking of this, his expression turned ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The abilities provided by the mysterious palace were all incredibly powerful, especially the Boundless, which combined the five elements, giving him the capital to contend with the Eleven Forbidden.
Now that the subsequent murals couldn't be colored normally, it was indeed a bit painful!
"Something with such high standards shouldn't be broken, right? Could it be that after the five elements, the method of coloring the murals has changed?"
Li Chenqiu scratched his head, turned around, and scanned every corner of the palace with sharp eyes, trying to find some useful clues.
Knock, knock!
Just then, a sudden knock sounded in the palace.
"Hmm?"
Li Chenqiu murmured softly, looking around in confusion.
The sound that rang out just now… was it a knock? But this palace clearly has no doors, where did the knock come from?
"Um… is anyone there?"
No one responded.
"You don't need to hide, I know you're there," Li Chenqiu called out tentatively.
Still no response.
"Strange."
Li Chenqiu muttered, walking to the center of the palace, squinting and stroking his chin, vigilantly looking around.
Knock, knock!
The knock came again.
Li Chenqiu's ears twitched slightly, and he turned around with a "whoosh", only to find… everything was normal.
"This is really ghostly," Li Chenqiu smiled speechlessly, and shouted without any hope, "Just come in, no need to knock."
Buzz——
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight buzzing sound came from directly in front of Li Chenqiu.
He stared ahead, and saw sea-like, faint blue ripples spreading in the air, and a small golden spot slowly appeared, its brightness constantly rising until it stopped when it was dazzling.
The next second, the golden spot flew out of the faint blue ripples like a firefly, and flew into the sixth mural under Li Chenqiu's gaze.
At the same time, a line of gilded, strange runes appeared in front of Li Chenqiu.
He had seen these symbols before, they were the words on the parchment two years ago. Although he didn't recognize these runes, he could understand what they meant.
[If the Sub-Energy has not returned to oneself, one should use force to kill it]
After Li Chenqiu finished reading the last word, the gilded runes gradually disappeared, and at the same time, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
"That is…"
Li Chenqiu subconsciously turned his head, his deep gaze pierced through time and space, fixed on a very distant place, where… something seemed to be calling him.
"Sub-Energy is ability, not returning to oneself means I don't have it yet, use force to kill it… does it mean I should use my own power to kill someone?"
Li Chenqiu's eyes were distant, and he already had an answer in his heart.
...
Time flies like water, and several days have passed in a flash.
With Li Chenqiu's help, the survivors were no longer emaciated, and the topics of discussion gradually returned to normal, with everyone's faces filled with happy smiles.
These days of having food and drink every day when they woke up, without worrying about starving to death or being killed, were simply too happy!
South side of the island, seaside
Li Chenqiu and Luo Shan stood side by side, facing the sea breeze and looking at the cloudless blue sky.
"Chenqiu, I really want to thank you this time. If the person Star Plucking sent this time wasn't you, I really can't imagine how many people the Antong Division would lose on this mission!" Luo Shan said sincerely.
Li Chenqiu smiled faintly: "It's all part of my job, you don't have to take it to heart. By the way, I haven't seen your people these days, what are you busy with?"
Luo Shan grinned, his eyes softening: "Busy with those little kids' affairs."
Li Chenqiu turned his head in confusion: "What little kids?"
"Chenqiu, do you still remember that little girl whose mother died before?"
"Yes, I remember."
Luo Shan explained: "Among these survivors, some of them are like this little girl, who have lost their parents, are young, and have no ability to take care of themselves. They don't even know how to eat fish.
If I don't take care of them… I don't know how long they can live. The conditions here are really too bad. When the Antong Division's level-three medical supplies arrive, I'll be able to relax."
Li Chenqiu reached out and patted him, "It should be soon. You said it would arrive within a week, and now it's already the fifth day, it's just a matter of these one or two days."
Luo Shan put his hands on his hips, turned his neck, and said tiredly: "I wish it could arrive today."
"Maybe it will be as you said, today…"
Li Chenqiu's voice suddenly stopped, a hint of surprise flashed between his eyebrows, and he looked at the endless sea.
After possessing the Boundless Domain, he was extremely sensitive to other people's domain aura. Even if the other party didn't activate the domain, he could clearly sense it.
Just now, he noticed a strange domain aura rapidly approaching this island, and it was still in the state of activating the domain.
This was a bit surprising. Aren't domains only activated during battles? Could it be that someone was chasing and killing an Eleven Forbidden?
Thinking of this, a sense of unease suddenly rose in Li Chenqiu's heart, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Chenqiu, why didn't you continue?" Luo Shan asked in confusion.
Li Chenqiu came back to his senses, rubbed his stomach, and replied naturally: "My stomach suddenly feels a little upset, I'll find a place to relieve myself."
"Do you need me to avoid you?"
"No, I'll be right back."
Saying that, Li Chenqiu trotted towards the forest behind him, disappearing from Luo Shan's sight.
...
On the vast sea, four combat aircrafts with a faint blue color, streamlined fuselage, and blue light flames spraying from the tail, tore through the clouds like sharp knives, and drove at high speed.
In one of the combat aircrafts, a middle-aged man wearing a black combat suit, with a bit of gray hair at his temples, a high nose bridge, and a stern appearance, sat alone in the rearmost position.
At this moment, he was crossing his legs, holding a cup of coffee in his left hand, and a newspaper in his right hand, looking at it with a focused expression.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be so many moths hidden in the Federation, it's really surprising!" The middle-aged man smacked his lips and shook his head gently.
His name was Zheng Tong, the leader of the Special Disaster Clearing 9th Special Operations Group of the Antong Division.
"Team Zheng, two minutes."
The young man piloting the combat aircraft said without turning his head.
Zheng Tong, who was sitting in the rearmost position, put down the newspaper, drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Attention, we will arrive at the mission location in two minutes, everyone prepares for battle, repeat, we will arrive at the mission location in two minutes, everyone prepares for battle!"
"Second Squad received!"
"Third Squad received!"
"Fourth Squad received!"
"Remember, we only have one target, and that is Li Chenqiu. If he dares to resist, we are allowed to use force to suppress him."
"Understood!"
