Chapter 201 Are all dead? ?
"Qiankun, I've checked everything." Zhang Lingyu whispered, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. "Someone did get off that ship, and one was seriously injured. Later... he died."
Li Qiankun's brow furrowed upon hearing this, his gaze fixed on the report in Zhang Lingyu's hand. He took it and flipped through the pages, his expression growing increasingly gloomy. "There must be something important on the ship, otherwise they wouldn't be fighting so desperately," he speculated, his eyes gleaming with determination, as if he had already seen through the essence of the matter.
Zhang Lingyu nodded, but his heart was filled with doubt. "Those who escaped from the ship, where are they now? What was their purpose?" He muttered to himself, as if asking himself a question, and as if expecting Li Qiankun to give an answer.
Li Qiankun pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "We checked all the surveillance footage, but the ship seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace. This matter is becoming increasingly complicated."
Zhang Lingyu sighed. He knew that this was not just a matter of a missing ship. There must be a bigger secret hidden behind it.
At the same time, in a simple but warm house in Biyou Village, the Queen, Xiaohong and others sat together. The bonfire swayed in the night breeze, reflecting their tired but grateful faces.
"We're so lucky to be alive," the Queen sighed, a flicker of relief in her eyes. Her voice was soft yet firm, as if, having experienced life and death, she cherished every moment even more.
"Yes, thanks to your help," Xiaohong agreed, a grateful smile on her face. Her eyes sparkled with awe for life and anticipation for the future.
The queen looked at the village before her, feeling a complex mix of emotions. The relationship between her and Li Qiankun seemed to have become even more complex because of this incident. She felt she owed Biyou Village something, and this debt had led her to stay for a while to make amends.
"Queen, are you really planning to stay here?" Taoist Li looked at the queen, his eyes full of worry. He knew that the queen's decision might bring trouble to the village, but he was more worried about the queen's safety.
The Queen nodded and said firmly, "Yes, I think there is something special here, and I want to stay and see." Her voice was full of determination and courage, as if she was ready to face unknown challenges.
Taoist Priest Li shook his head helplessly. He knew that the Queen's decision was not something he could easily change. He could only pray silently, hoping that the Queen would bring good luck to the village instead of disaster.
The Queen asked Master Li about the Central Plains forces, especially the strength of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Old Heavenly Master and Li Qiankun. She knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, understanding the enemy's strength was the key to protecting herself.
Taoist Priest Li was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain and Li Qiankun are both top masters in the Central Plains. Their strength is unfathomable. Although our Biyou Village has some foundation, it is still far behind them." There was a hint of helplessness and awe in his voice, as if he had already realized the gap between himself and those masters.
The Queen fell into deep thought. She knew that while Biyou Village held its own secrets and strengths, she must proceed with caution against such a formidable foe. She decided to stay in the village for a while longer, gaining a deeper understanding of its secrets and strengths so she could better prepare for future challenges.
During her time in Biyou Village, the Queen gradually began to understand its secrets. She discovered that the people here possessed extraordinary abilities, seemingly connected to some ancient heritage. This discovery intensified her curiosity and strengthened her resolve to stay.
One night, the queen was walking alone on the village path, the moonlight shining on her, casting a mysterious aura around her. She came to Master Li's house and gently knocked on the door.
"Who?" Taoist Li's voice came from the house with a hint of vigilance.
"It is I, Queen," the Queen replied softly.
Taoist Priest Li opened the door and saw the queen standing at the door. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Queen, it's so late, what's the matter?" he asked.
The queen smiled and said, "I want to know more about the village from you." Her voice was full of sincerity and desire, as if she couldn't wait to uncover the mystery of the village.
Taoist Priest Li sighed. He knew the Queen's curiosity was unstoppable. But he also knew that the village's secrets couldn't be easily revealed to outsiders. He could only answer the Queen's questions as best he could, while remaining vigilant and cautious.
"Queen, our Biyou Village does have some unknown secrets." Taoist Priest Li said slowly, "But these are our village's precious treasures and cannot be easily disclosed to outsiders."
The Queen nodded in understanding. "But I trust you wouldn't refuse someone who wants to help you, would you?" she said, a determined glint in her eyes.
Taoist Priest Li looked at the queen, feeling a little hesitant. He knew the queen sincerely wanted to help the village, but he also knew how important the village's secrets were. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Queen, it's not that we don't trust you, but these secrets are truly too important. We can't take any risks."
The Queen was somewhat disappointed when she heard this. However, she also understood Master Li's concerns and worries. She decided not to force it, but to prove her sincerity and determination with her own actions.
In the days that followed, the queen worked harder to integrate into the village, establishing deep friendship and trust with the villagers. She used her wisdom and courage to help the village solve many problems and won the respect and love of the villagers.
However, just as the queen was gradually adjusting to life in the village, a sudden piece of news shattered the tranquility. Fatty Zhao, standing at the office, stared at the photo of the Canglong on his desk, his brow furrowed. The massive vessel had suddenly vanished from the sea, as if it had never existed. He rubbed his chin in confusion, wondering where the ship had gone and why it had suddenly vanished.
At the same time, Xu Si hurried into the office, a serious look on his face. "Boss Zhao, there's activity in Biyou Village," he said, handing a report to Fatty Zhao.
Fatty Zhao took the report, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly turned grim. "People from Nasen Island are here too?" He looked up at Xu Si, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. He knew that the people from Nasen Island were not easy to deal with, and their arrival would undoubtedly bring greater trouble to the village.
