363: Chapter 363 Search

Hmm?

There's one more thing?

What is it?

What are they about to say?

Everyone then turned their gaze toward King Yu.

"For such a thing to happen this time, it seems these people are tired of living, actually daring to come into Huaxia to seek revenge. This time, regardless of the final outcome, we must thoroughly rectify this matter. We must kill them all."

"Let the overseas forces see that Huaxia is not a place where they can come and go as they please."

As King Yu spoke, the crowd nodded in agreement.

Marquis Pinghai also nodded. "King Fenghai and the others already know who they are."

"However, now is not the time for a final reckoning. There will be plenty of time for that later."

A few hours later.

News originating from the Imperial Capital reached the various war zones.

Inside the military headquarters of the Western War Zone.

King of the Western Frontier Jiang Tianyou was handling affairs, while his niece, Jiang Ying, was pouring tea for him nearby.

"Uncle, don't overwork yourself. You've been working here for so long; why don't you get up and take a walk?"

"Sigh, there are more and more things to deal with lately. After all, the exotic beasts everywhere seem to have become much more restless recently. This pace is alright though; they're all minor matters, and no major incidents have occurred."

Jiang Tianyou said as he finished processing the last document, a relaxed expression appearing on his face. He then looked at his niece. "In a while, I plan to make a trip to the Modu Barrier. How about it? Do you want to come along and have a look with me?"

The Modu Barrier?

Isn't that the Barrier where Ye Qing is currently located?

In an instant, Jiang Ying understood what her Uncle meant.

Although she still felt some hesitation in her heart, she nodded. After all, she should go and take a look first.

"Okay..."

Hmm?

Jiang Tianyou looked at Jiang Ying and was momentarily stunned. This little girl actually agreed?

It seemed her stubbornness had softened a bit.

This was a good thing.

After all, as long as she was willing to meet Ye Qing, there was a chance. According to the rumors, Ye Qing could be said to be very handsome and elegant.

Once Xiao Ying saw him, she would likely lose her heart to him.

"Haha, good! Then we'll head over there together in a while."

As the King of the Western Frontier spoke, a figure quickly approached from outside.

"King of the Western Frontier, this is bad! News has come from the Imperial Capital Barrier!"

"This is a report from King Yu. Please take a look quickly!"

...

After a few brief words, the High-ranking Official handed the report to the King of the Western Frontier.

The King of the Western Frontier was momentarily stunned, his eyes widening as he stood up abruptly.

An order from the Imperial Capital Barrier, given by King Yu.

*Hiss...*

Did something happen?

In an instant, the expression on the King of the Western Frontier's face turned solemn.

Beside him, Jiang Ying watched her Uncle's expression, knowing in her heart that this was likely not good news.

It must be a major national event.

The King of the Western Frontier snatched the report away.

He read it.

A moment later, his face became increasingly grim.

"This... this... this..."

"Seeking death!"

The King of the Western Frontier squeezed these words out from between his teeth.

It could be said he was gnashing his teeth to the extreme.

"That fellow Old Jing is practically useless, actually letting Ye Qing be ambushed!"

Hmm?!

Hearing this, Jiang Ying was instantly stunned. Ye Qing was ambushed?

Is he alright now?

What's the situation?

Is he injured?

Or...

Feeling her own anxiety, Jiang Ying mentally scolded herself.

"Uncle, what exactly happened? How is Ye Qing? Is he injured?"

As Jiang Ying spoke, the secretary who had delivered the report also showed anxiety in her eyes upon hearing it concerned Ye Qing, looking at the King of the Western Frontier to hear what exactly had happened.

The King of the Western Frontier looked at them. "King Yu told us that Ye Qing was ambushed outside the Modu Barrier. However, relying on his formidable strength, Ye Qing faced a King-level Expert and numerous Marquis Realm Experts. The enemy actually fled, and Ye Qing gave chase. Both sides are riding powerful flying-type exotic beasts and headed west. His current whereabouts are unknown."

"Isn't Ye Qing just acting recklessly? This is clearly the enemy's scheme. After all, the enemy's intention was likely that they didn't want to fight near the Modu Barrier. There are two King-level Experts, Old Jing and Joseph, in the Modu Barrier, along with many powerful Marquis Realm Experts. The enemy certainly didn't want that, so they lured Ye Qing away."

"Ye Qing actually fell for it! What was he thinking..."

In an instant, Jiang Tianyou was also fuming with rage.

However, getting angry was useless now. Since Old Jing said they were heading west, if they came into his territory, he could at least lend a hand.

He looked at King Yu's report. Although King Yu's meaning was quite clear, it was likely already quite late.

The battle should have already ended; now it was a matter of searching.

"Pass down my orders: the entire Western Frontier, every Barrier is to send people out to search the surrounding areas. We must search the entire Western Frontier. If he is alive, I want to see him in person..."

Jiang Tianyou didn't say the second half of the sentence. After all, he didn't want to see the outcome implied by the second half.

"Go, quickly!"

Meanwhile, in the Southern War Zone.

*Slap!*

The King of Nanling looked at the report, his face as still as deep water, so grim it looked as if it were about to drip.

It was terrifying to the extreme.

"Someone, pass down my orders..."

Immediately, the entire Southern War Zone also began its search.

A few hours later.

The search had fully spread out.

Everyone was searching in full swing.

A while later.

At a place over a hundred kilometers away from a Barrier, at the border of the Western War Zone and the Southern War Zone.

A Town General led a team toward this area.

They were preparing to search here.

"Captain, this area seems a bit off. Look, there's quite a bit of soil and wood debris, and it looks fresh."

A guard reported to the captain while looking. He then looked toward the dense forest ahead. "I've been to this place before. There seemed to be a tall mountain peak up ahead."

"A tall mountain peak?"

The captain also looked diagonally ahead; there was nothing there.

"It must be obscured by the trees. I'll go up and look over the canopy to see the surroundings." The guard's face showed embarrassment; he didn't seem to see the mountain peak from his memory either, so he could only try to cover for it.

Then, with a tap of his foot, his body soared upward, reaching above the tree canopy.

He looked ahead.

The next moment, he looked forward, and his eyes suddenly widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

What is this...

What on earth is this!

The guard stared blankly ahead, the corners of his mouth twitching violently. He only felt a chill rising all over his body.
