“Lin Yuan, I have an important message to tell you…” Su Jiu'er’s voice sounded serious, reminiscent of a principal’s preamble before a lecture, causing Lin Yuan’s heart to skip a beat.
A sense of foreboding washed over Lin Yuan. Could it be that Old Li was making a comeback, ready to battle him for the title of Community Square Dance King? Or perhaps someone had stolen his super spicy, meaty, egg-laden, deluxe takeout order?
“Go ahead, Jiu'er. I can handle it. I've been around the block for years; I've seen my fair share of storms. Even if the sky falls, I can hold it up!” Lin Yuan feigned calmness, but inside he was already strategizing. If Old Li really did come back for him, he would immediately call Zhou Haoran to act as a shield. After all, Zhou Haoran's muscular build looked much more resilient than his own.
“There’s a massive Lingyu appearing at Nanjing City Center Square, and the energy fluctuations are very unusual. I suspect it’s the Qi Gong Association's doing,” Su Jiu'er said rapidly, like a machine gun. “The square is in chaos; many people are trapped inside, like dumplings in a pot. It’s a complete mess.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan instantly shook off his drowsiness and sprang out of bed as if he had been injected with adrenaline. Lingyu? That was something only high-level Cultivators could create! The Qi Gong Association was incredibly bold to conduct such a dangerous experiment in the city center! Were they bored with their peaceful lives and looking to experience an urban version of “survival at the end of the world”?
“Wait for me; I’ll be there right away! Just watch how I deal with these guys and show them why the flowers bloom!” Lin Yuan hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and dashed out the door faster than Bolt in a hundred-meter sprint.
He hopped onto his old electric scooter and sped toward the city center square like a whirlwind. Normally slow as a snail, today his scooter seemed to have taken some miraculous elixir, racing like a wild horse with sparks flying everywhere. Anyone who didn’t know better might think Nezha was riding on wind and fire wheels.
On his way, he didn’t forget to start a Live Stream to interact with his fans.
“Hey everyone, emergency situation! A Lingyu has appeared in the city center! I’m heading to the scene right now to bring you first-hand coverage! If you want to see the excitement, hit 666! Let’s see some gifts fly—rockets and planes!” The Live Stream exploded with activity as comments flooded in like a tidal wave, more lively than firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.
“666! Brother Yuan is awesome!”
“Brother Yuan is mighty! I want to see the Live Stream live!”
“Brother Yuan, be careful! Stay safe! Don’t risk your life for the Live Stream!”
As Lin Yuan rode along, he glanced at the comments and felt elated. This was a golden opportunity to gain followers! Who knows? By the end of today, he might just become a big influencer with a million fans!
Upon arriving at the city center square, Lin Yuan was stunned by the scene before him. This was no longer the familiar square he knew; it was like a hell on earth!
Above the square, a massive Energy Vortex was slowly spinning, distorting the air like an image in a funhouse mirror. The light flickered unpredictably, alternating between red and green, reminiscent of a disco light show. People were fleeing in all directions, their cries and screams echoing, creating chaos that was even more frenzied than a bustling market.
Lin Yuan activated his Guan Qi Abilities, carefully observing this Lingyu. He noticed that the energy fluctuations of this Lingyu were extremely unstable, like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment!
"These lunatics! What on earth are they trying to do? Do they want to blow up the entire Nanjing City?" Lin Yuan's heart burned with anger. This Qi Gong Association was nothing but a bunch of desperate fools!
Just then, Su Jiu'er appeared. Dressed in a sleek black outfit and holding an ancient compass, she looked strikingly heroic, resembling a female agent from a movie.
"Lin Yuan, you made it!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed with a glimmer of joy in her eyes upon seeing him.
"Jiu'er, are you okay? Did these guys scare you?" Lin Yuan asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I've found the source of this Lingyu's energy; it's from Nan Gong Xuan's tech company!" Su Jiu'er pointed to a tall building next to the square. "They've installed a massive Spiritual Energy Generator in the basement, continuously supplying energy to the Lingyu, just like inflating a balloon!"
Lin Yuan suddenly understood. So it was that guy Nan Gong Xuan! He had suspected for a long time that this kid was up to no good! Always dabbling in dubious practices, and now he had finally revealed his true colors!
"It looks like we need to destroy that Spiritual Energy Generator first! Otherwise, if this thing explodes, Nanjing City will be in ruins!" Lin Yuan declared.
"Exactly. But the Qi Gong Association will definitely have set up an ambush there, waiting for us to walk right into their trap. We need to proceed with caution," Su Jiu'er warned.
"Don't worry, Jiu'er. I've broken through to the Spirit Gathering stage! Dealing with a few lackeys will be a piece of cake—just like squashing some ants!" Lin Yuan said confidently, patting his chest with assurance.
"Don't be careless, Lin Yuan. Lu Min, the senior advisor of the Qi Gong Association, is also there. She's a formidable opponent. I've heard she practices a special Cultivation Method that allows her to manipulate metal, just like Magneto in the movies," Su Jiu'er warned.
Lu Min? A chill ran down Lin Yuan's spine. This woman had once been his mentor, but they had turned into enemies due to their differing ideologies. Her strength was unfathomable, and Lin Yuan dared not let his guard down.
"It seems we'll have to join forces this time, Jiu'er. With our swords combined, we will be invincible!" Lin Yuan said, looking at Su Jiu'er with determination in his eyes.
"Mm." Su Jiu'er nodded, her eyes shining with resolve.
The two exchanged a smile before charging toward the tall building like two bolts of lightning, cutting through the chaotic night sky.
The Energy Vortex in the square spun faster and faster, as if it were about to explode. Could Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er stop this crisis in time?
