Chapter 499: 298: Exploration and Sensory Recovery
Late at night.
It was as if a scorching sun had fallen to the ground.
A blazing white light turned the sky of over a dozen kilometers into daylight.
Even in Kyoto.
From a high vantage point, one could easily see the strange skyline in the distance.
“Over there is__”
Li Wuji and Sun Yihe stood on a tall building, looking at the bright white light in the distance.
Behind them stood several figures.
They were all members of the Association Committee.
The group was originally in a meeting, discussing how to deal with tomorrow’s international conference.
But as soon as the commotion appeared.
The meeting was halted, and everyone came to the high-rise to investigate the situation.
“What on earth is happening?”
Someone asked while observing the anomalies.
However, all they received was silence in response.
No one knew exactly what had happened.
At this moment.
Li Wuji and Sun Yihe withdrew their gazes.
They looked at each other.
Both of their eyes carried a solemn expression.
Naturally, they had recognized that it was the direction of the Yihe Gate at a glance.
Without a doubt.
The explosion, comparable to a nuclear blast, was definitely not a natural phenomenon.
As for who could create such a commotion.
Besides Chen Sheng, they couldn’t think of a second person.
“I’ll go over and take a look.”
Li Wuji had hardly finished speaking.
As Sun Yihe was about to speak beside him.
He was stopped by a gesture.
“Aside from finding out the situation, the most important thing now is to reassure the common people and organize a retreat underground.”
“You stay here in command and wait for my message.”
After saying this.
Li Wuji looked back at the Association Committee members.
“Everyone.”
“Prepare for the worst.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
The faces of all those present darkened.
What Li Wuji said
Was that Chen Sheng might have encountered an awakened Heavenly Person, and a battle between them could have caused such a commotion.
If a Heavenly Person really awakened without their knowledge and approached Chen Sheng,
Then the next situation.
Will be extremely critical.
This was not Li Wuji trying to exaggerate the danger.
He simply couldn’t think of any other possibilities.
It couldn’t be that Chen Sheng was practicing his kung fu, could it?
Not even Chen Sheng could necessarily create such a large-scale aftermath.
After all,
Chen Sheng was not in the Kyoto underground.
But at the Yihe Gate, dozens of kilometers away from Kyoto.
With that thought.
Li Wuji didn’t dawdle any longer.
He gave everyone a meaningful gaze.
An instant burst of light emanated from his body.
The next second.
He turned into a streak of light in the sky, rushing towards where the Yihe Gate was.
At the same time as Li Wuji,
Everyone else had disappeared from their original position and returned to the Martial Arts Association.
A series of orders was issued and spread downwards.
In no time,
The entire Martial Arts Association was moving again.
As for Li Wuji’s side,
His anxious and nervous heart released all his power without any concealment.
In just a few minutes, he had traversed tens of kilometers and was closing in on the location of the Yihe Gate.
From the skyline,
The old man scanned the entire Yihe Gate Headquarters.
As the place was only a few kilometers away from the center of the explosion, the damage inflicted was severe.
The buildings scattered on various mountain peaks had collapsed.
Smoke and dust permeated the ground, making it difficult to see the specifics.
Fortunately,
That couldn’t stop him.
His gaze penetrated the dust, searching with extreme speed.
But after scanning,
Li Wuji did not find any traces of Chen Sheng.
Moreover, from the affected situation,
It seemed that this place was only affected, and there wasn’t much environmental destruction.
Mostly it was due to the impact of the earthquake.
Was the scene of the battle not here?
Li Wuji looked up at the distance.
Several kilometers away.
The scorching white light had dissipated.
However, the sky above was clear and cloudless.
It seemed that the previous explosion had driven away all the clouds and mist.
Without hesitation,
Li Wuji prepared to approach that place.
But just then,
His expression changed slightly.
Huh?
Li Wuji looked down.
His figure vanished from the spot instantly.
When he reappeared, he was in front of a ruined wooden house at the edge of the Yihe Gate.
Whoosh!
A palm, gleaming with light, swept along casually.
The broken wood was blown away.
Exposing the buried body beneath.
It was Zhou Li.
At the first moment when the aftermath reached,
Even as the old man tried to escape immediately.
The terrifying pressure of the oncoming wind was too much to bear.
In an instant, the makeshift wooden house was destroyed.
As a result, the old man was buried under the rubble.
It was Li Wuji who detected his aura and stopped.
He came to Zhou Li’s side and looked at the dust-covered old man.
With just one glance, Li Wuji could see his condition.
Fortunately,
It was just a minor external injury, and there was no danger to his life.
Li Wuji picked up the old man and, after taking him to a safe, open area, set off again.
The center of the explosion was getting closer.
The distance of several kilometers was nothing for a martial artist at Li Wuji’s level.
In the blink of an eye,
He had already neared the inner circle of the explosion.
Before coming here,
Even though Li Wuji was mentally prepared,
When he saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but feel a chill running through his spine.
The scorched and crystallized earth.
Blistering heat.
Distorted air.
And the pervasive pungent odor in the air.
Li Wuji would believe it if someone said that a nuclear bomb had once exploded here.
What kind of enemy could cause such terrifying destruction?
Chen Sheng… What happened to Chen Sheng?
Li Wuji’s face was extremely pale.
If something had happened to Chen Sheng,
The situation would become the worst possible.
