At this moment, it seemed like the Treasure Room was undergoing a slight distortion and tremor. Wisps of dampness surged from the ground, but this dampness wasnât water vapor; it seemed to be filled with Spiritual Energy, yet different from it. These gases merged with the Spiritual Energy at Qiaoqiaoâs fingertips and together they struck the Time-Space Gate.
Then, Qiaoqiao immediately felt itâshe had succeeded, as the Spiritual Energy on the peace Buddha pendant of Qin Xiaoyu and Gu Zishu had already become so abundant it was about to overflow.
This made Qin Xiaoyuâs fingers more nimble, and her mind calmer. At this time, Gu Zishuâs body was also filled with strength, his gaze fixed intently on the white van getting closer and closer ahead.
At this moment, he wished the motorcycle could grow wings and fly him there.
Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao was drenched in sweat; her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
She was a novice who had just entered the Mystic Sect, with no mentor guidance or systematic cultivation technique. Everything was in a state of exploration. Some things she didnât even know how to do, she just charged forward with gritted teeth, like just now.
She hadnât even considered the consequences of doing so.
But luckily, Qiaoqiao succeeded, although her body was severely overextended. If it wasnât for her strong willpower supporting her, Qiaoqiao would have passed out long ago. But she couldnât pass outâthere were still many things that needed to be done.
Qiaoqiao looked around the Time-Space Gate with all her strength, trying to memorize the surrounding terrain and other features.
As Qiaoqiao looked behind the van, a fiery red figure was rapidly flying in their direction from dozens of miles away.
Qiaoqiao was delighted because that fire was Xiao Wenâs Fire Phoenix Bird.
The woman sitting on it was Xiao Wen.
Such a magnificent and shocking scene, it was the first time Qiaoqiao had seen it. Xiao Wen, on the Fire Phoenix Bird, had an unusually pale face, her lips devoid of any blood color. Obviously, she was not faring much better than herself, but there was no choiceâin such a critical moment, they could only risk their lives.
At this moment, Qiaoqiao felt as if she were stepping on a cloud, as if she might fall from mid-air at any moment. She knew she was at her limit, but she hadnât heard the people in the car say anything related to kidnapping Qin Xiaoyu yet.
Just after the leading man had finished speaking, the car fell into a dead silence, with no one speaking.
People like them might have the sharpest senses for danger, even if itâs just a teenager following them.
Moreover, the guilty conscience of a thief is an eternal truth.
Finally, the woman who hadnât spoken all along spoke up nervously, asking the leader, "Boss, do you think weâve stirred up big trouble this time?"
"What big trouble? Itâs just some brat with a milk-smelling breath chasing us. Once we reach Tiger Head Cliff, weâll deal with him!"
The One-Eyed Dragon said viciously.
"But didnât you say at first that we were only going to kidnap the little girl and wouldnât touch anyone else?"
Because those people arenât so easy to mess with.
These people naturally understood this in their hearts.
The leader, after hearing this, fell silent, but through gritted teeth, told the woman, "No matter what, we must complete the task that person assigned us."
That person?
Qiaoqiao was taken abackâwho was that person?
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mindâcould she use Void Drawing Talisman to send an Ice Arrow Talisman through the Time-Space Gate into these peopleâs bodies? Wouldnât that solve everything?
But before Qiaoqiao could raise her hand, everything went black, and she collapsed softly to the ground. Then, the Time-Space Gate on the Mysterious Dragon Box closed, and everything disappeared as if it was a cloud blown away by the wind, vanishing cleanly in an instant.
At this moment, the White Jade Stone inside the box seemed to tremble slightly, then the Mysterious Dragon Box automatically closed its lid.
Everything returned to its original serenity.
In the Treasure Room, only the overhead lights flickered faintly.
At this time, Qiaoqiaoâs head hurt terribly, as if countless needles were stabbing into her head.
She was covered in sweat, her whole body felt like it had just been fished out of water.
Then, the Spiritual Energy at her fingertips instinctively spread throughout her body, gradually covering her entirely.
Within seconds, Qiaoqiao let out a long breath, looked around, and upon seeing that the Mysterious Dragon Box had already closed, she quickly stood up. But her vision went black for a moment, almost causing her to fall. She immediately steadied herself on the Duobao Pavilion shelf beside her, gritted her teeth, and quickly stood straight. With a few quick steps, she left the Treasure Room. After sealing it, she hurriedly headed to her room.
Fortunately, she didnât meet anyone, otherwise seeing her sweat-drenched appearance, they would surely have stopped her.
When Qiaoqiao reached her room, she closed the door, picked up the phone, and started dialing the Gu Familyâs courtyard.
But unfortunately, no one answered.
There was no one at both housesâwhat was going on?
Qiaoqiao put down the phone, and just as she did, it suddenly rang.
Qiaoqiao quickly picked up the phone, unexpectedly hearing Qin Yizeâs voice on the other end, "Qiaoqiao, did Chu Chengfeng call you?"
"Ah Ze, donât ask anything now. Let me tell you, five people have kidnapped Xiao Yu. They are heading towards Tiger Head Cliff in a white van. Zishu is following them on a motorcycle, about a few hundred meters behind..."
Qiaoqiao said urgently.
At this moment, if thereâs contact, thereâs no time to wasteânot even a second.
Qin Yize responded with only one word, "Okay." Then he hung up.
Qiaoqiao also hurried to hang up, worried that she might miss calls later on. However, at this point, her heart felt more settled.
The Spiritual Energy on the peace Buddha pendant on Qin Xiaoyuâs body had been amplified several times. If she could remain calm now and untie the ropes on her hands, even if those four people went up, they might not be able to subdue her.
This would ensure Xiao Yuâs safety and also buy her more time, and Gu Zishu, following behind the car, was in a similar situation.
Now, it was up to whether Qin Yize could contact Fang Qing and Chu Chengfeng in time.
Qiaoqiao knew that Qin Yize and the others had their unique ways of communicating.
And what she could do now was wait at home, waiting for news from Jinling City.
The only pity was her limited abilities; otherwise, she could keep monitoring these people.
But Qiaoqiao knew if she tried to activate the Time-Space Gate on the Mysterious Dragon Box again, she might end up sleeping for days.
