Chapter 466: Preparations, Return, and Visitors
Chapter 466: Preparations, Return, and Visitors
A terrifying black smoke billowed in all directions.
Li Qian watched the rapidly approaching black smoke, his heart filled with alarm.
This thing looked extremely dangerous, and he dared not get even a whiff of it.
He immediately gave orders to Tide Sea Spirit and Six-Tailed Cat, instructing them to use their defensive skills to the fullest.
Tide Curtain of Heaven and Mental Barrier were erected one after the other, ready to withstand the menacing black smoke.
At a critical moment, a semi-transparent ice shield suddenly appeared out of thin air, enveloping Li Qian within it.
Li Qian looked at the semi-transparent ice shield that had appeared from nowhere, and his heart calmed.
This must be a defensive skill cast by President Pan to protect Li Qian.
Pan was also helping Li Qian fend off the encroaching black smoke.
After all, this black smoke was a result of a Holy Spirit Rank Companion Beast's self-destruct ability.
Relying solely on Li Qian's own strength might not be enough to withstand it.
Amidst the black smoke, a small robot with rocket boosters on its feet took off at an incredible speed.
"Pan Bing, I'll remember you. We'll meet again someday!" A loud voice came from within the small robot.
The speaker was none other than Lu Yuan Song.
His voice was arrogant and defiant.
President Pan looked up at the sky, a faint smile on his lips, "We'll meet again? No need. From now on, we'll never see each other again!"
Just as he finished speaking, several missiles trailed long fiery trails, shooting towards the small robot with a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and accurately hitting their target.
Boom, boom, boom...
The small robot was hit by the missiles, and explosions reverberated continuously.
In an instant, the small robot exploded in mid-air, turning into a dazzling firework.
As for Lu Yuan Song, who was hiding inside the small robot, he was undoubtedly dead beyond dead.
"You really thought I had no defenses, huh!" President Pan smiled faintly, and just as his voice trailed off, a massive figure appeared in mid-air.
"Master!" The massive figure in mid-air spoke in a deep, robotic voice. After descending a distance and revealing its true form, it turned out to be a robot.
Seeing this enormous robot, Li Qian instantly realized that this must be the true form of Vast Fang.
Vast Fang's true form was a Holy Spirit Rank Mechanical Companion Beast, possessing such formidable power.
"Master, within a one-kilometer radius, there are no other life forms detected." The giant robot landed, its deep voice echoing again.
"Good job. Go support the battle elsewhere." President Pan smiled upon hearing this and waved his hand, and Vast Fang took off again, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"President Pan, thank you." Li Qian approached and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"Why thank me?" President Pan looked at Li Qian, his eyes filled with relief.
"This time, if it weren't for your bait, we wouldn't have caught this big fish, Lu Yuan Song." President Pan laughed heartily, "With the loss of Elder Lu Yuan Song, the Black God Sect will likely face difficulties in the future."
"Let's go. Our business here is done. Let's return to Lingwater City." President Pan continued.
The reason they took the High-Speed Medical Airship to Yun Lan City was to lure out the hidden enemy, and now that the enemy had been defeated, there was no need to stay.
Just as they spoke, the airship that Vast Fang's sub-entity had merged with flew over with a loud roar.
The airship hovered in front of them, and the two men entered without hesitation.
Inside the airship, President Pan asked directly, "Vast Fang, did you find the one hiding in the shadows?"
He was referring to the cultist behind the Mutated Venomous Toad, and the toad itself had undoubtedly been obliterated by Vast Fang's sub-entity robots.
"That person isn't nearby. He was remotely controlling the Mutated Venomous Toad to fight." Vast Fang's sub-entity robot explained from within the ship's cabin.
"In that case, we can only hope Chief Inspector Zhong has some leads." President Pan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
If possible, he naturally wanted to capture all enemies, but this was an ideal scenario.
With such a large encirclement, it was inevitable that some would slip through the net.
Controlled by Vast Fang's sub-entity, the airship flew back to Lingwater City at a steady pace, landing directly within the Blazing Sun Cultivation Base.
When the airship returned to Lingwater City, the morning glow in the sky had already descended like golden rain, gently showering the city.
Breathing in the fresh morning air, Li Qian felt his mood lighten considerably.
Upon returning to the base, his father, Chancellor Li, had already made arrangements, and after a night of exertion, they could enjoy a hearty breakfast.
In truth, whether it was Chancellor Li or the other staff at the base, they were still concerned about Li Qian going out to pursue the culprit overnight.
Even with President Pan accompanying him, there was still worry, and now seeing Li Qian and President Pan returning unharmed, the anxiety in Chancellor Li's heart finally subsided.
What brought even more joy to Chancellor Li and Li Qian was that after breakfast, their mother, Han Yuerong, woke up.
Li Qian and Chancellor Li immediately rushed over to see her. Han Yuerong's condition was quite good, although her body seemed a bit weak, her face slightly pale, but her spirit was strong.
After a brief chat, Li Qian got to the point, "Mom, can you remember who gave you the Blood Spirit Pest?"
"That's right, try to recall if it was Sun Dafu, the father of my former classmate, Sun Shouhe."
Hearing Li Qian's words, Han Yuerong fell into deep thought. Hearing the name Sun Dafu, she seemed to remember something, and her expression became slightly agitated as she spoke.
"About two months ago, one day, Sun Dafu came to our door, pleading with me to speak to you and ask for leniency for his son."
Han Yuerong recalled the situation at the time and began to narrate, "According to what I understood, his son had joined a cult and attacked you, which led to his arrest."
"How could I possibly plead for his son?" Han Yuerong spoke with indignation, "Not only did I refuse his request, but I also scolded him severely.
"Even now, I can still vividly recall the look of hatred in his eyes as he left..."
After calming his mother's agitated emotions and ensuring she rested, Li Qian returned to Building One.
"What are your plans now?" As soon as he returned, Pan Bing immediately got to the point and asked.
Li Qian understood what Pan Bing meant and replied, "Dean Pan, do you have any suggestions?"
"For a matter like this, what suggestions can I possibly have? There are only two choices."
Pan Bing said, "First, you can directly bring your parents to Sha Zhou Beast University. The school will take responsibility for your parents' safety."
"The other method is to strengthen the security here."
Li Qian nodded slightly at these words, and these two options were not unexpected to him.
From an emotional standpoint, he would definitely prefer the first option.
This route was the safest.
However, he couldn't make the decision on his own; he had to consider his parents' opinions.
After all, they had lived here since they were young, and after so many years, they would undoubtedly have a deep attachment to this place.
Li Qian didn't waste any time and shared his decision with Pan Bing that afternoon.
Pan Bing informed the school of his decision, and the next morning, a seemingly ordinary employee appeared at the base.
This employee was around sixty years old and looked somewhat aged. Li Qian didn't know his real name.
Following Pan Bing's lead, Li Qian also addressed him as "Mr. Han."
Even Pan Bing addressed him as "Mr. Han," indicating that the man's identity was not ordinary and his abilities were not to be underestimated.
With Mr. Han stationed at the Blazing Sun Cultivation Base, Li Qian's worried heart finally settled.
That afternoon, he and Pan Bing returned to Sha Zhou City via the teleportation array.
As for the transaction agreed upon with Pei Yuanyuan, it would have to wait for the next time or until they took the initiative to come.
In any case, at this moment, Pan Bing would definitely not let him stay alone in Nandu City.
Safety was only one consideration; another concern was that Jiangnan Beastmaster Academy might try to poach their talent.
That evening, shortly after returning to Sha Zhou Beast University, before he even had a chance to take a sip of water, Li Qian was informed that someone was waiting for him in the campus hotel.
Li Qian was perplexed and couldn't understand who would be looking for him at this time, Pei Yuanyuan and her mentor?
It was unlikely that they would be so eager...
Without further thought, he hurried to the campus hotel, and when he saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Li Qian truly hadn't expected that the person who came to find him would be her!
