Chapter 55 - I Will Kill You!
Yao Ji wanted to charge up the magnetite mine as if she had gone mad, and none of her subordinates were able to stop her.
Yao Ji was halfway there when her subordinates threw themselves at her one after the other, clinging onto her waist and thigh and firmly restraining Yao Ji. Cries of alarm shot out, “Madam Yao Ji, no! Madam, let’s go! It will be too late if we don’t leave now!!!”
“Magnetite, my magnetite! Ahhh!” Yao Ji crazily tugged on the hair of one of the subordinates hugging her waist, and she even pulled out a few bunches of the poor devil’s hair, causing the guy to wail in distress. The front part of his head turned bald in an instant…
That subordinate nearly cried. Why was it always loyal and devoted subordinates like them who suffer!
At some point in time, the dense mystic energy that surrounded Qiao Mu had dissipated. When she stood up, this was the rambunctious commotion that greeted her, and her lips slightly twitched.
They were all quite high in age already, yet they did not act reserved at all! Qiao Mu silently disdained the chaotic crowd and wholly ignored the stupefied youth, Duan Yue, next to her.
“You! You…” Duan Yue swallowed his spit. When he saw that Qiao Mu’s eyes did not turn to him at all, he involuntarily swallowed his words as well.
A tiny rundown village like that actually produced such a wicked freak like this. Could she possibly be the final disciple of some senior master who had withdrawn from the world?
“Ah, Madam Yao Ji! You can’t, you can’t go!” The subordinates clinging to her thigh all silently cried bitter tears; countless footprints had appeared on their backs due to Madam Yao Ji.
Yao Ji clutched her head while howling in heartbreak. She had already turned her orderly and exquisitely styled hair into a bird’s nest, and the jades and beads in her hair all dangled crookedly as well.
“Let’s go!” Yao Ji managed to regain a lucid mind at the last moment. She maliciously glared at Qiao Mu before turning around and bounding toward the tunnel they used when they came with the disciples from Coitus Sect behind her.
However, the tunnel suddenly disappeared…
The people stood there, dumbfounded. They looked on helplessly as the tunnel that connected the secret valley to the outside world twisted and disappeared before their eyes.
The entire mystic realm was in a state of collapse, so the disappearance of the tunnel was very normal. Even the valley around them was continuously being squeezed, and the magnetite mines that were originally an incredible distance away from them also seemed to be pushing toward them step by step.
Yao Ji’s pupils became dilated as terror overtook her face.
This mystic realm was collapsing way too fast, right? Within a few minutes, the magnetite mines around them had already arrived in front of them, and the circle that their group stood in continued to shrink further. The horror in their eyes was nearly spilling out.
“I will kill you, you d*mn girl!” It was all this d*mn girl’s fault! If she had not rashly absorbed all the mystic energy in this place, why would this anomaly occur! She will drag this girl down with her even in death!
Their exterior boundary continued to shrink further inward, causing them to only have 300 meters to stand on. Without them knowing, Qiao Mu and Duan Yue had arrived next to Yao Ji and her group.
Yao Ji would be able to clap Qiao Mu’s back by merely extending her hand, but Qiao Mu was carefully watching the peach blossom forest and little lake that vanished as the mystic realm collapsed.
Sigh. Qiao Mu released a long sigh. The paradise that produced so many fresh and juicy peaches in her previous life was destroyed like this. Her heart was also in pain. She originally thought she could use this place as a temporary shelter from disaster, but now, it was completely gone.
During her moment of contemplation, Yao Ji—who was standing behind her with a sinister look on her old face—was shooting her palm covered with mystic energy toward Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu was waiting to dodge when she suddenly heard Yao Ji and her group scream. Turning around, she saw the 20 or so people fall down with a gurgle like dumplings being poured into a pot of hot water.
Unbeknownst to them, a gigantic cavity had appeared in the earth. Qiao Mu took a peek, and in the next second, there was nothing but air underneath her feet, and she fell down along with them.
“Squeak, chirp chirp!” Seeing Qiao Mu escaping, the white squirrel instantly became panicked and, with a pounce, followed her in a flurry.
