Chapter 1091: Chapter 438: Chang Yuntao’s Wrath
Liang Yuan showed a ’pensive’ expression, and after a moment, as if having thought it over deeply, he finally spoke.
"Since Xiangman pleaded, and for Professor Li’s sake, I can forgive this matter."
The two women were instantly filled with both surprise and joy, feeling a sense of relief as if surviving a disaster.
"However—"
Suddenly, Liang Yuan’s tone shifted, and Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi immediately felt their hearts jump to their throats.
Both of them quickly looked at Liang Yuan.
But Liang Yuan calmly said, "However, what you did indeed had a significant impact."
"From now on, you both need to stay in Yangshan and contribute unreservedly to the development of the Yangshan Shelter, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the two women heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Ya promptly nodded, "We understand."
Shen Yunxi, thinking of being able to see familiar people again and continue researching in her favorite field, felt it was far better than wandering outside.
She quickly nodded, joyfully said, "Mr. Liang, rest assured, I will use all my knowledge to help Yangshan develop the ships."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, saying, "I hope you can keep your word."
After speaking, he didn’t stay there but turned around and left the room.
When Liang Yuan left, the oppressive atmosphere in the room instantly eased.
Han Xiangman went to the door to take a look, then closed it with a flip of her hand.
Only then did she turn to the two and say, "You two really should be grateful for Mr. Liang’s great mercy this time."
"You have no idea of the terrible impact of secretly letting Leng Yuehua go."
Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi were shocked and looked at each other.
Lin Ya couldn’t help but ask, "What terrible impact?"
"Of course there is. Look at who is on this cruise ship?"
"Those captains and the remnants of the Spiritual Ability Sect, which of them are good people?"
"If it weren’t for Mr. Liang suppressing them, they would have caused trouble long ago."
"What you did this time is equivalent to challenging Mr. Liang’s status, and many people are watching how he handles this matter."
"If Mr. Liang lets you off lightly, it would be a huge blow to his prestige."
"Those captains might have some ideas."
"If it really escalates, think about what the fate of so many women and children without self-protection on this ship would be?"
Han Xiangman’s analysis instantly turned Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi pale.
They obviously knew that in chaos, the bottom tier always suffered the most.
They just never expected that secretly letting an old friend go could lead to such serious consequences.
For a moment, they realized once again the great resolve Liang Yuan needed to refrain from punishing them.
Seeing them like this, Han Xiangman slowly said, "Mr. Liang cherishes talents, and it’s just that Yangshan is now developing rapidly and is in desperate need of people."
"Otherwise, what you did this time would be hard to resolve peacefully."
Shen Yunxi couldn’t help but ask, "So what now? Will those captains cause trouble?"
Han Xiangman sighed, "I don’t know, it depends on how Mr. Liang handles it."
"But it should be fine. With Mr. Liang’s methods, suppressing those captains shouldn’t be a problem."
"As long as we hold out until Yangshan, everything can be resolved easily."
Hearing this, Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, they were sincerely grateful to Liang Yuan.
The three chatted a bit more, and Shen Yunxi suddenly asked, "Xiangman, I always hear you mentioning Yangshan repeatedly, and every time you talk about it, you smile brightly."
"What is Yangshan really like?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman’s mind conjured images of the people and objects in Yangshan, thinking of the sunroom warm as spring all year round, the bustling shopping and entertainment complex filled with people every day, and the lively port.
She couldn’t help but laugh, "Yangshan, it’s the best shelter I’ve seen since the great flood."
"It’s a place with order, where even ordinary people have a guarantee of life."
"Those with a skill live very well there."
"The Yangshan Shelter has its own factory, slaughterhouse, and mall."
"In short, once you get there, you’ll know everything."
Hearing these words, the two women exchanged a look, unable to suppress their yearning expression.
...
"Bang!"
In Mist City, Chang Yuntao suddenly slapped the table, shattering it.
He was full of anger, looking at the Right Leader Ji Liang kneeling below.
"What did you say? How many Ice Armor Soldiers died?"
Ji Liang was in a cold sweat, trembling as he said, "Forty-nine Ice Armor Warriors, with twenty-one dead, three missing, and four seriously injured."
"Twenty-eight people! We’ve lost twenty-eight people!"
"What about the Earth Mother Sect? How many of them were captured?"
Chang Yuntao roared and asked.
Ji Liang quickly replied, "The Earth Mother Sect secretly developed hundreds of followers, all of whom are Superpower Users."
"Currently, we’ve confirmed eighteen high-ranking Earth Mother Sect members killed, with many identities still needing to be checked, and over seventy people are in the dungeon."
Chang Yuntao’s face was extremely grim. He knew most of these seventy people were likely originally residents of the City of Ice Mist, brainwashed by the Earth Mother Sect, turned into followers.
The eighteen who truly died were the high-ranking outsiders from the Earth Mother Sect.
And among these eighteen, he included seven or eight that he had killed underground.
Thinking of this, he was furious, but that wasn’t the most important issue now.
More importantly, how to quickly quell this farce.
Taking a deep breath, Chang Yuntao asked, "How is He Jun?"
"The best Healing Superpower User in the city is already treating him; his life is not in danger," Ji Liang quickly replied.
Only then did Chang Yuntao’s expression ease a little, and he said in a deep voice, "You have three days to reorganize the city’s affairs and restore order."
"Also, immediately recruit new members to fill up the ranks of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion."
"Still only recruiting Ice Attribute Superpower Users?" Ji Liang couldn’t help but ask.
Chang Yuntao shook his head slightly, "No, this time any superpower user can join, but there’s a prerequisite."
"The main attribute must reach above 45 points, with higher attributes given priority."
Ji Liang was slightly relieved; with those conditions, it shouldn’t be hard to recruit people.
In the Mist Forest outside the City of Ice Mist, there are quite a few superpower users with 45 points or more.
In the past, these people wanted to join the City of Ice Mist but couldn’t.
Now given the opportunity, they would likely break their necks to get in.
Chang Yuntao gave a few more instructions before saying, "Alright, you may leave."
"Yes, master."
Ji Liang exited the room.
Chang Yuntao stood up, thought for a moment, and pressed his hand onto the ground.
Crash!
The bricks on the ground quickly moved to the sides, automatically revealing a large hole.
Chang Yuntao leaped up, jumping directly into the hole.
His body descended all the way down, quickly reaching a narrow blood path.
After mastering the Heart Core, he could open any blood path on the Floating Island Giant Corpse’s body.
This particular blood path now was a capillary of the giant corpse, narrow but directly connected to the heart.
Chang Yuntao didn’t stop his steps, taking one stride forward, his body turned into a flurry of ice shards, disappearing in an instant.
After several minutes, he returned to the underground heart chamber where he had been in seclusion.
The underground heart chamber was encased in ice and snow, the vast surrounding blood paths sealed and merged.
At this moment, he looked indifferent, waved his hand, and the merged heart chamber opened with a crash.
Cold air gushed out immediately, forming a wave.
Chang Yuntao was not afraid at all, instead, he inhaled deeply with relish, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He strode into the heart chamber, coming face to face with an ice sculpture.
Inside the ice sculpture was a miner who had just escaped to the blood path.
Chang Yuntao snorted coldly and waved his hand.
With a crash, the ice sculpture instantly turned into a pile of broken ice, the body shattered into powder.
It was like a product of glass, crisp and frail.
Chang Yuntao walked into the heart chamber with determined steps, encountering many corpses along the way.
He was indifferent, used to these corpses from long ago.
Before refining the Heart Core, he had dealt mercilessly with several batches of scheming miners attempting to escape.
Not to mention that in the past, he had killed many for the Brain Core.
So to him, corpses were no different from the wild grass on the roadside.
Walking a few more steps inside, Chang Yuntao suddenly stopped, a trace of doubt appearing on his face.
"Why is it here?"
His gaze fell upon a nearby ice mountain.
This little ice mountain was what he used to crush a master from the Earth Mother Sect. He clearly remembered that the ice mountain was positioned over at the Blood Ice Palace!
How did it end up here now?
"Could there have been a survivor?"
He thought to himself, his expression increasingly vigilant, swiftly moving towards the location of the Blood Ice Palace.
Yet, when he approached the ice cave, his face instantly turned ashen!
"Where’s the Blood Ice? Where’s my Blood Ice?"
Chang Yuntao couldn’t believe it, he leaped up, jumping directly into the ice cave, eagerly searching.
Below the ice cave, all that remained were some fragments of Blood Ice, with the largest being no bigger than a fist!
The massive pile of Blood Ice, like a pyramid palace, had vanished into thin air!
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
With a furious roar, Chang Yuntao waved his hand, manipulating the muscles of the giant corpse, causing the entire heart chamber to rumble and tremble.
The ice blocks on the ground were sent flying by the tremor, the surrounding ice immediately cleared away.
No matter how deeply he dug, he still found no trace of the Blood Ice!
"My Blood Ice, this is impossible, impossible!"
"Who? Who did this?"
He frantically searched, examining each corpse on the ground for items possibly hiding the Blood Ice.
But after searching through hundreds of corpses, he found nothing!
Suddenly, a nearby ice wall split open as he rummaged around.
Chang Yuntao’s body suddenly tensed.
He keenly sensed something, abruptly turning his head to look at the ice wall.
Clenching his teeth, glaring, he slapped the ice wall.
With a massive bang, the not-too-thick ice wall shattered instantly, revealing a corroded hole!
"No, no!"
Chang Yuntao’s face looked extremely grim, on the verge of terror.
He dove into the hole without hesitation, crawling further along the corroded path.
He soon emerged from the hole into an adjacent heart chamber.
Seeing this, Chang Yuntao’s face turned deathly pale.
He only felt dizzy, as if the sky was collapsing.
The Blood Ice in this heart chamber had also been completely excavated!
"Ah——"
"Who! Who did this!"
"I’ll kill you, I’ll kill your entire family, ah——"
Chang Yuntao roared in fury, his face twisted in rage.
It’s important to know, this is the heart, the blood-producing organ of the Floating Island Giant Corpse during its life.
The blood here, as the purest Source Blood, contained the most refined genetic information.
Aside from the Brain Core and Heart Core, the remaining pure blood in the heart was the most valuable part of the Floating Island Giant Corpse!
This essence blood could extract highly concentrated genetic information, forming numerous genetic species!
Moreover, it was crucial for him to completely refine the Heart Core!
Now, all this Blood Ice was gone!
All his plans had fallen through!
How could Chang Yuntao not harbor hatred!
"Even if I have to search every corner of the earth, I will catch you, damn it!"
Chang Yuntao roared in anger, slamming a fist into the heart chamber wall.
Roaring thunderously!
The whole heart chamber trembled, causing the entire underground to quake.
For a moment, the entire Floating Island felt like an earthquake, trembling slightly!
The residents within the City of Ice Mist were puzzled, terrified, knelt down, shouting in panic, thinking that an earthquake had occurred.
At this moment, Chang Yuntao, having mastered the Floating Island Core, could easily trigger changes throughout the island with his every move.
His vow to find Liang Yuan was no joke.
At the moment, Liang Yuan was unaware of this, already beginning to research his recent haul.
