Emperor Qiankun

At dawn, the morning light just broke through the sky, dispelling the darkness.

Li Qingyuan, his two companions and an old ox quietly left the restaurant and embarked on their journey.

Along the way, the scenery is picturesque, and the green mountains and green waters are filled with a fresh atmosphere.

They shuttled through the teleportation arrays of one city after another.

When passing by the city under the jurisdiction of Haoyue Pavilion.

Li Qingyuan's heart moved, and he thought that if he could travel with Chen Lingyu, the journey might add a lot of fun.

So, Li Qingyuan stepped forward and politely explained his purpose to the disciple guarding the teleportation array.

At the same time, he took out five low-grade black crystals from his arms and handed them to the other party.

The disciple was a little unhappy at first.

But when he saw Xuan Jing, he nodded without any hesitation.

Afterwards, the disciple entered the teleportation array and left to report.

Not long after, the disciple hurried back and respectfully informed them: Chen Lingyu had left Haoyue Pavilion a few days ago and was not in the pavilion at the moment.

When Li Qingyuan heard this, he felt a little regretful, but he had no choice but to give up.

Then, they walked towards the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, their figures disappeared from the spot.

......

It was another whole day of traveling. Li Qingyuan and his group walked and stopped frequently and were not in a hurry to continue.

They appreciate the scenery along the way and experience the local customs and cultures, making the journey easy and enjoyable.

When night falls, the earth is shrouded in darkness.

They finally arrived at a prosperous city.

The city is brightly lit, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Just like yesterday, Li Qingyuan and the others found a nice-looking restaurant and stayed there.

The night passed quickly and dawn began to appear.

This night was also calm and nothing unexpected happened.

This made Li Qingyuan's originally tense heartstrings gradually relax a little.

He estimated the journey and thought to himself that at his current speed, he would probably be home by noon tomorrow.

Only the last day and a half of the journey remains.

Li Qingyuan felt both excited and anxious, not knowing whether everything was okay at home.

At the same time, his eyes fell on Su Yaoyue, imagining how his parents would react when they saw her.

......

As the road to Li's house got closer, a hint of nervousness appeared on Su Yaoyue's beautiful face.

Along the way, she asked Li Qingyuan and Li Muqiu from time to time about the preferences of the elders of the Li family, wanting to prepare some more gifts to leave a good impression on them.

In response, Li Qingyuan just smiled gently and said nothing.

He knew Su Yaoyue's thoughts very well, but he didn't want to add more pressure to her by saying too much. He just hoped that she could relax a little.

Li Muqiu was a considerate junior sister. She held Su Yaoyue's fair and delicate arm and smiled, comforting her: "Senior sister, don't worry. Everyone in our Li family is very easy to get along with. I believe everyone will like you!"

After hearing what Li Muqiu said, Su Yaoyue felt a little relieved. She nodded slightly and her expression relaxed a little.

Time flies, and before we know it, night falls again.

Li Qingyuan and his group arrived at Jingxue City in the north under the moonlight.

This place is very close to Heishan Town where the Li family lives.

However, there was no teleportation array from Jingxue City to Heishan Town, so they had to choose other ways to travel.

Fortunately, there are old workhorses, so this problem is not difficult.

......

Just like the previous two days, everyone walked into the most luxurious restaurant in Jingxue City.

Li Qingyuan was as cautious as ever. He stood at the door of the restaurant, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to step into the restaurant.

However, just as he was about to step into the restaurant, Li Qingyuan suddenly felt a sense of alarm and an inexplicable feeling came over him.

He vaguely sensed a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, staring at him intently.

The gaze was cold and sharp, filled with murderous intent.

This murderous intent was like an icy wind, penetrating his clothes and making his skin feel cold.

This is not groundless conjecture, but a sensory intuition derived from instinct and experience.

Although Li Qingyuan did not turn around to confirm, the feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger, like a thorn in his back, making him uncomfortable all over.

It was not until he entered the restaurant that the uneasy feeling gradually dissipated like smoke.

......

At this moment, Li Qingyuan was already absolutely certain that someone was indeed watching him in secret.

If it was just a casual glance from a passerby on the street, it would never give you such a strong and lasting sense of crisis.

In that brief moment just now, he felt as if he was being stared at by a deadly poisonous snake hiding in the grass.

The creepy chill spread from my spine to my whole body.

Li Qingyuan frowned, secretly guessing in his heart that this person was most likely here to follow him!

I just don’t know how many accomplices are hiding in the darkness behind him, waiting for an opportunity to strike!

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan did not dare to delay for a moment and walked quickly towards the room on the second floor.

When he pushed open the door, he was surprised to find Su Yaoyue standing in the room waiting for him.

Seeing him push the door open and walk in, Su Yaoyue's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why did you take so long? What happened?"

Li Qingyuan was slightly stunned and looked at Su Yaoyue in surprise.

He didn't expect that she had been waiting for him all this time, and he couldn't help feeling touched.

And from Su Yaoyue's expression, it can be seen that she seemed to have noticed something strange.

After a little thought, he decided not to hide it from Su Yaoyue. After all, they were now in the same boat, and any information could be a matter of life and death!

So, Li Qingyuan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I suspect... we might be being targeted!"

......

Hearing this, Su Yaoyue frowned slightly, a puzzled look on her face, and asked softly: "Are you sure? But haven't we been peaceful all the way?"

The smooth journey made her very surprised by the news.

However, Li Qingyuan's solemn expression made her realize that this matter was not groundless!

Li Qingyuan nodded slightly and continued, "Well, they must have carefully studied our whereabouts and knew that Jingxue City was the only way for us to return home. That's why they set up an ambush here long ago, waiting for us to fall into their trap."

"What should we do? Why don't we get out of here right now?"

Su Yaoyue's voice was a little anxious, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously looked at the door, as if those people would break in at any time.
