Chapter 1086 - 434: Ambush Each Other (Part 2)

Qiu Gongrong immediately said, "Stop talking so much, let’s hurry up and leave Mist City, we’ll talk later."

Qiu Yingyue couldn’t help but say, "Dad, did Captain Qu offend you somehow? He promised to help me join the Ice Armor Soldier Legion before, and I was hoping we could settle down here together."

Qiu Gongrong cursed, "That damn liar, how could he deceive you like this?"

"Deceive me?" Qiu Yingyue was stunned.

"Your father has been kept underground by these Ice Armor Warriors, digging ice for them every day."

"Hey, that Captain Qu has seen your dad long ago while on duty, he didn’t tell you where I was, did he?"

Qiu Yingyue was shocked and angry: "He knew your whereabouts all along?"

"Ha, he didn’t just know, they were the ones guarding us initially."

Qiu Gongrong sneered, pulling Qiu Yingyue as they raced towards the city outskirts.

Qiu Yingyue asked him what was going on while they ran.

Qiu Gongrong recounted the events that happened over these days.

Qiu Yingyue felt like she was listening to a tall tale, reluctant to believe, "Are you saying this island is actually an enormous corpse?"

"What kind of corpse could be this big?"

Qiu Gongrong shook his head, "Your dad doesn’t know that, it could well be an alien."

Qiu Yingyue was so shocked that she forgot to ask about the Master of Fog City or who helped her dad escape.

The two ran frantically to the harbor.

Qiu Gongrong glanced at the chaotic harbor, it was almost deserted now.

He looked anxiously along the waterway and sighed, "We missed him, that boy’s already left."

"Dad, who are you talking about?" Qiu Yingyue quickly asked.

"A boy who escaped with me, we agreed to meet here, but he would only wait half an hour, it seems we’ve missed the time."

Qiu Yingyue asked hurriedly, "What do we do now?"

"Let’s get out of here first."

"Dad, why do we have to leave? Isn’t this floating island suitable for survival?"

Qiu Yingyue hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist asking.

Qiu Gongrong shook his head, and said, "I earned a lot underground, but I was seen by the Ice Armor Warrior’s Left Leader He Jun. If we stay, Chang Yuntao will eventually find us, so it’s best to leave first."

"Where there’s one floating island in the world, there must be others."

"We don’t have to stay here. As long as we break through to being a Genetic Species expert, we can go anywhere."

Qiu Yingyue, hearing this, felt it was a pity to leave such a good place, but since her dad said so, she had no reason to hesitate.

After all, she wasn’t really attached to Mist City.

The father and daughter found a simple raft, pushed it into the river, and boarded it to row quickly away.

Qiu Yingyue couldn’t help but say, "Dad, shouldn’t we prepare some supplies?"

Amid the vast floodwaters, supplies might not be easy to come by for the father and daughter.

Qiu Gongrong laughed, "Don’t worry, I have plenty of supplies."

His dimensional bag contained quite a bit of materials.

Qiu Yingyue, unaware of the dimensional bag, looked around and asked, "Where?"

Qiu Gongrong smiled, "I’ll tell you later, just let’s leave Mist City first."

As the raft entered the thick mist, they gradually moved into the river, finally leaving the island shrouded in fog.

Though the island was surrounded by many reefs, their raft was small enough not to worry about running aground.

The only tricky part was they had no compass, making it difficult to determine direction.

In the end, the two discussed it and Qiu Gongrong thought of a solution.

He dove underwater to guide them since it was fog-free down there, making it easier to determine direction.

With this method, the two quickly navigated out of the Mist Area, distancing themselves from the island.

Once clear of the mist, Qiu Gongrong returned to the raft and finally recounted his experiences to his daughter, Qiu Yingyue.

He held nothing back, telling his daughter about the Genetic Species news, the difference between pure breeds and hybrids, and what happened underground.

"Dad, what does the young man look like?"

"Average looking, not as handsome as your dad," Qiu Gongrong said offhandedly.

Qiu Yingyue was speechless and asked, "What superpowers does he have? What’s his main attribute?"

Qiu Gongrong nodded seriously, "Speaking of which, it’s quite strange to me."

"I’ve seen him use no fewer than four powers: Spiritual Telekinesis, Power, Flame, and even later Space Superpower!"

"How can one person have four abilities? I can’t figure it out. He claims to be a Space Ability User, but I don’t think so. That boy is sly, hiding things."

"Oh, he also said he knows you."

Qiu Gongrong glanced at his daughter.

Qiu Yingyue had already guessed who her dad was talking about.

"It’s him!"

"Hmm? Daughter, you really know him? Who is he? How did you two meet?" Qiu Gongrong immediately pressed for details.

The old father’s mindset resurfaced, with a hint of vigilance typical of a father thinking his daughter might be dating early.

Qiu Yingyue understood her old man’s thoughts and rolled her eyes, "What are you thinking? I’m not that close to him."

"His name is Liang Yuan, the leader of Yangshan. I invited him to help find you this time."

"That boy is so kind-hearted?"

"I told him about the Genetic Species, and he came."

"Hmm? You knew about Genetic Species outside?"

"Yes, someone imitated your handwriting to send me a letter mentioning these things."

"That damn Ma Rui, couldn’t find that bastard at An Family Corps headquarters just now."

"Dad, you know it’s Ma Rui? He really impersonated you to deceive me?"

"No one else but him."

As they talked, the father and daughter moved further from Mist Island.

"Where are we headed now?"

"Back to Lishui Garden first. I told Old Meng and Ah Xin that if they couldn’t find me, they’d return to Lishui Garden."

"We got a lot of good things this time, enough for us to manage for a good while."

Qiu Yingyue was delighted, asking quickly, "Uncle Meng and Brother Xin are still alive?"

"Yes, they’re alive and well."

"That’s great."

Qiu Yingyue was overjoyed. These two were her father’s right-hand men, always close by when they were in Lishui Garden.

Qiu Yingyue was very fond of them, always treating them as her uncles and older brothers.

Learning that they were still alive made her incredibly happy.

"But I’m afraid we can’t stay in Lishui Garden for long—since you left, things have been tough there, with food and drink."

"People can only survive on mutated creatures from the water."

Hearing this, Qiu Gongrong frowned slightly.

Although he had supplies in his dimensional bag, it wasn’t much, barely enough for a few people for half a month.

He thought about it and said, "Let’s check it out first. If it’s too tough, we can go to Yangshan."

Qiu Yingyue was surprised, "Go to Yangshan?"

"Yes, the guy named Liang has connections with you, and he got so much gain following me. Let’s go there and eat his food and drink," Qiu Gongrong said indignantly.

He still felt he suffered a loss, as Liang took most of the Blood Ice, and he was jealous.

Qiu Yingyue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Mr. Liang’s not a bad person. He even saved my life."

"What? What happened?"

"It’s about the Spiritual Ability Sect..."

As Qiu Yingyue spoke of her encounter with the Spiritual Ability Sect, Qiu Gongrong’s face turned grim.

"Even the Spiritual Ability Sect has found its way here."

He then thought of the Spiritual Ability Sect, one of the Three Great Sects, and how their expansion had reached the New District side.

Could it be that their proselytizing in Guangfu had saturated the population?

If there weren’t enough people, they’d start capturing people from outside?

Qiu Gongrong knew well the nature of the Three Great Sects, these were ruthless people, forcing you to condense a Genetic Species, not caring if you had fifty points on your main attribute.

He couldn’t even fathom how many had died in the process, and without enough followers, they’d expand outward, capturing more people.

He just didn’t expect that Guangfu District wasn’t enough for them to pillage, and they’d already set their sights on the New District side.

More intolerable for him was the reality that he, Boss Qiu, had reached this point yet failed to condense a Genetic Species; he hadn’t even established his own territory.
