117: We'll meet sooner or later

Subsequently, Li Mu shook his head slightly and no longer paid attention to Ji Jiangxue’s matters.

He turned and entered the Cave Heaven Small World to begin his next arrangements.

Meanwhile, on Mount Tai, Ji Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the hedgehog Yao Beast escape into the mountains and disappear, and then she prepared to leave.

However, after walking a few steps, she noticed an unusual sensation coming from her feet.

She looked down and saw that, at some point, her foot had become entangled by a ray of light, and more importantly, the other end of the line had merged directly into the ground.

Upon seeing this, Ji Jiangxue was instantly startled.

She quickly squatted down, trying to untangle the light ray wrapped around her foot to see if it could be undone.

She didn’t know why this rope was wrapped around her foot, nor did she know what consequences she would face if she remained entangled.

Humans are always filled with fear for the unknown.

However, before she could even try to untie the rope, a great force suddenly came from the rope wrapped around her foot.

Before she could react, she was directly pulled underground…

The ground remained intact, showing no sign that Ji Jiangxue had just been standing there.

There were no other hikers around, so Ji Jiangxue’s disappearance naturally did not attract anyone else’s attention.

As for the hikers on the mountain, they were all descending.

Especially after seeing the hedgehog monster enter the deep mountains, they dared not linger on the mountain any longer.

… … … …

At this time, in the direction of the capital, Jin Meiting, who had finished dealing with the sperm whale sea beast in the Bohai, returned to the training room.

However, Jin Meiting’s expression was not good at this moment.

She frowned slightly, looking at the page on her phone that continuously showed a call being dialed.

After returning, as usual, she had planned to call Ji Jiangxue to share details about the battle in the Bohai, among other things.

Normally, although she had already joined the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, their contact had not been broken, and they still communicated very frequently.

She also knew very well when Ji Jiangxue’s rest time was.

Every time, she would choose to call when Ji Jiangxue was not busy, and each time, the call would connect after two or three rings.

However, this time, when she dialed Ji Jiangxue’s private number, it showed “out of service area”!

Even after dialing more than a dozen times consecutively, it was the same, which gave Jin Meiting a bad premonition.

She then quickly left the training room, found the Elder in charge of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, and explained that Ji Jiangxue had lost contact.

Hearing Jin Meiting’s words, the Elder’s expression also became serious.

The Grand Elder had specifically given him a list of people, stating that those individuals on the list might all become cultivators in the future.

And Ji Jiangxue was one of them!

But now, hearing Jin Meiting say that Ji Jiangxue had lost contact, this Elder immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without another word, he immediately gave orders for people to search for Ji Jiangxue, ensuring her safety and so on.

After everything was arranged, the Elder then asked, “Is it possible… that Ji Jiangxue is in the process of gaining extraordinary abilities? In a special area, which is why you can’t contact her?”

“This…”

Jin Meiting was momentarily speechless, as this situation was indeed not impossible.

Then the Elder asked again, “When was the last time you contacted her? Do you know what she was doing?”

Hearing this, Jin Meiting replied without thinking, “This morning, before I went to the East Sea for training, I contacted her once!”

“At that time, she was preparing to go to Mount Tai to relax…”

“What? Mount Tai!?”

Hearing Jin Meiting’s words, the Elder, who had been calm, instantly widened his eyes.

He had just received news from Mount Tai that a very troublesome hedgehog-type monster had appeared there.

The soldiers’ weapons were ineffective against it, and they suffered heavy losses.

Although it eventually escaped three li away, it was an unstable factor, and they wanted the Special Affairs Handling Bureau to intervene and deal with the monster!

He had just been thinking about who would be most suitable to send, and he hadn’t expected to hear this news from Jin Meiting now.

Seeing the Elder’s reaction, Jin Meiting felt a bit surprised, and at the same time realized that something must have happened at Mount Tai.

She quickly asked, “Elder, what’s wrong? Has something happened at Mount Tai?”

“I just received news…”

The Elder sighed, “A hedgehog-type monster has appeared on Mount Tai, stronger than those monsters that appeared after the spiritual energy tide.

The weapons carried by the soldiers stationed there are ineffective, and it caused quite a commotion at the foot of the mountain.”

“This…”

Hearing this, Jin Meiting’s expression immediately changed, and she quickly said, “Please send me to go and see!”

The Elder thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, if that’s the case, you go.

Is anyone else in the training room?”

“Zhao He is also here.”

“Then you and Zhao He go together to find and eliminate that monster! It’s good for the two of you to act together and have someone to look out for.”

After receiving the Elder’s instructions, Jin Meiting nodded, then left the Elder’s office and returned to the training room.

After explaining the Elder’s arrangements to Zhao He, she took Zhao He with her and flew towards Mount Tai.

Because she was worried about her friend Ji Jiangxue, Jin Meiting was almost moving at full speed.

… … … …

At the same time, Li Mu, who had returned to the Cave Heaven Small World, opened the diary page and began to continue editing the rest of today’s diary content.

Today, I specifically went to the East Sea and strengthened my previous arrangements once again.

I didn’t expect to coincidentally meet Ke Ming when I returned.

She was on a military transport plane, and I even discovered that she had obtained the Immortal Ascension Token and the Guiding Compass.

It seems that because of my existence, the future has truly changed.

After all, according to the original timeline, Ke Ming would have to wait another year to gain her abilities!

But if it changed, it changed.

The Legacies on Wu Chen Island are quite good.

I just don’t know which Legacy she obtained.

However, when I passed by, she seemed to have noticed me too?

Forget it, we will meet sooner or later anyway.

For now, let her properly receive the Legacy…

On the plane, Ke Ming, who was bored, happened to see these updated contents in the diary, and her expression changed repeatedly.

“Indeed! I knew it, the person I saw at that time was definitely you!”

“So, if I had continued as usual, I would have had to wait another year to gain extraordinary abilities?”

As she spoke, Ke Ming also smiled.

It was as if a great weight had been lifted from her, and it was also as if because of Li Mu’s last words, they would meet sooner or later…
