Chapter 59 - Do you think that Mo Wei died? (1/2)

Wu Yixing peeks down at the dark cavity. He drops a stone and hears nothing. He can't imagine what kind of force has done this here. The six highly trained shadow guards are killed by two women. Mo Qian's martial level is not high. How did they even manage to make this hole here?

A shadow guard materializes before them. ”Master, we have found Mo Qian lying unconscious 30 meters away from this area.”

Li Jun creases his brows. ”What about the other one?”

The guard bows his head. ”We have searched for the entire forest. There is no sign of her.”

Wu Yixing puts his hands behind his back. ”Is she hurt?”

”Mo Qian has some wounds.” The guard tells him, ”Her pulse is extremely weak. Her body is exhausted.”

”Take her to the residence.” Wu Yixing turns to Li Jun. ”Do you think that Mo Wei died?”

Li Jun remembers the promise. She will visit him on his 90th birthday. ”I don't think so.”

”You are quite confident.” Wu Yixing clicks his tongue. ”It's a pity that Yu Chen is dead. We have to find another way to drive out and crush the head of the snake.”

Li Jun stares at the darkness of the cavity. His mind is far away. That little witch. Is she alright?

I plummet on the rocky ground and shriek in pain. It feels like veins of my feet are tearing apart. The wrist of my right hand is broken. I am afraid of checking my feet. I wasn't fast enough to leave. The purple smoke had come in contact with my skin.

I pull the edge of the robe and look at my feet. The tips of my toes are completely purple. I writhe in pain as the glacially cold poison spreading up in my legs, turning my veins purple. I realize that I am losing sense in my legs. I don't have much time before I die. I try to leave this place. I don't want to die here.

It doesn't work. I can't travel in time.

I hear the accelerated ticking sound of time crystal from my body. The searing heat from time crystal courses through my veins. My body twists and turns on the rocky ground. I feel the bone of my wrist mending on its own. The wound on my lower stomach is also healing.

The rays of sunlight break the darkness in the sky. I hear the sound of ticking slowing down as the icy pain in my legs is fading. I close my eyes when the time crystal shuts down.

Kwon Yoori realizes that she can't move her body. Her body is paralyzed. Did that white smoke get to her? This must be some side effect of getting exposed to the white smoke. Where the hell is she?
