Jin Yu was actually somewhat angry inside. While maintaining as much politeness as possible, Jin Yu spoke.
“Mr. Luo, this time we are not going on a holiday, but on a mission. It could even be said to be a matter of life and death. If you are concerned for this girl’s safety, it would be best not to bring her along.”
“Yes, I understand. Her strength is quite good, no accidents will happen, and with me here, nothing will happen to her.” Luo Chen spoke lightly.
This made Jin Yu frown even more deeply.
“Mr. Luo, you must think clearly?” Jin Yu spoke again.
Her strength is quite good?
What strength could a girl have?
And with you there, nothing will happen to her?
Is that possible?
What ability do you have to say such words?
Most importantly, Jin Yu did not want another burden.
After all, one more person meant more danger, and it would be easy to implicate everyone else.
But Luo Chen was very firm.
“It does not matter. With one more of her, there is instead more strength.” Luo Chen spoke again.
This made Jin Yu so angry she nearly rolled her eyes, but in the end she shook her head and said no more.
Forget it. Since Luo Chen wanted to bring someone to their death, then let him. When the time came, everyone would just ignore the two of them.
“Fine, let’s go.” Jin Yu opened the car door, then froze.
She appeared somewhat embarrassed.
Logically, the front passenger seat should be for Luo Chen.
But Elder Huang sat in the front passenger seat with a calm expression, showing no intention of moving. Asking Luo Chen to sit in the back was clearly somewhat inappropriate.
Elder Huang seemed to notice Jin Yu’s embarrassment, so he rolled down the window and spoke.
“Apologies, Captain Luo. I am rather old and easily get carsick. Could you condescend to squeeze in the back?” Elder Huang spoke with a fake smile.
Carsickness was just an excuse. He only wanted Luo Chen to understand that even though Elder Yang had arranged for Luo Chen to lead the team, in the team, he was still the one in charge.
“It does not matter. We have our own car!” Luo Chen smiled.
Then a modified off-road vehicle drove over. Luo Chen sat in the back, where there was a sofa, refrigerator, and red wine, all readily available. The Blood Corpse King went to the front to drive.
Jin Yu and Elder Yang watched Luo Chen get in the car, and their hearts grew increasingly displeased. What kind of attitude was this for a mission to Kunlun?
This was clearly going on a holiday!
Going like this, were they seeking death?
And as the captain, if they followed Luo Chen’s command, they would probably be wiped out as soon as they reached Kunlun!
But since the higher-ups had already arranged it, this was an order, and they dared not disobey. They could only leave with unhappy faces.
Throughout the journey, Luo Chen’s car always followed behind. At every rest stop, Luo Chen was extremely luxurious.
For example, when eating along the way, it was almost all lavish meals.
And they always ordered the most expensive or most distinctive dishes.
Especially the girl beside Luo Chen. When she ate, it was simply deadly. One person could finish all the dishes on a table and still want more.
Elder Huang and Jin Yu and the others sat at a separate table to eat.
Besides Jin Yu and Elder Huang’s disciple Tang Hui, Elder Huang’s group had four more people.
The seven of them sat at one table, eating simple dishes, while Luo Chen’s side was served with good food and drink.
This made the group even more displeased with this captain.
Luo Chen was not doing this deliberately. It was because the Blood Corpse King was hungry, and he could only use these things to fill her.
But Luo Chen also understood that these things could never compare to human blood.
Luo Chen was forcibly correcting the Blood Corpse King’s nature.
So every day he fed the Blood Corpse King lavish meals.
The Blood Corpse King did not like it, but in front of Luo Chen, she could only obey obediently.
Soon, after a week, the group finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun.
In fact, strange things happened every day during these days.
Especially the closer they got to Kunlun, the more clearly visible these mysterious strange events became.
On the first day near Kunlun, around sunset, purple clouds actually appeared in the distant sky.
At first, everyone thought this might be some kind of natural climatic phenomenon and did not pay attention.
But later, the closer they got to Kunlun, the more frequent such things became.
The purple clouds sometimes did not appear at sunset, but instead could be seen at noon.
Jin Yu was, after all, engaged in this work. At first she also thought it was a natural phenomenon, but later she increasingly felt something was wrong.
After all, how could there be purple-coloured clouds?
Jin Yu had also asked local Tibetans along the way.
According to the Tibetans, this kind of purple cloud had appeared before, but not as frequently as recently.
It would only appear three or four times a year.
But who knew what had happened recently, that kind of purple cloud was appearing more and more.
And strange things often happened.
For example, Tibetans all kept cattle and horses. Some Tibetans, while herding, would find several large horses suddenly appearing among their horse herds.
Those horses were not ordinary horses. They were taller and larger than ordinary horses, with exceptionally beautiful manes, their whole bodies seeming to carry a sacred aura.
But very strangely, they could only be seen when people were far from the horse herd. When walking into the horse herd to search, they would strangely disappear.
This was a very strange matter. They could be seen from a distance, but disappeared when approached.
Some herders did not believe this was an illusion. After all, it could not be a collective hallucination, could it?
So some people stood at a distance, staring at those fine horses, while others walked into the horse herd to capture them.
But unfortunately, the herders standing at a distance clearly saw those fine horses standing there eating grass, while those who walked into the horse herd saw nothing.
When they walked far away and turned back, they found the fine horses were still there eating grass.
There had been such legends before, that golden horses were buried in the ground, and after a long time, this kind of strange phenomenon would appear.
But this phenomenon was usually fixed in one place.
But here was the Tibetan area, and it was not fixed in one place. This kind of thing also happened in places a hundred li away. Who would do such a thing?
Even Luo Chen frowned at this mysterious phenomenon. It seemed time was accelerating.
He had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and could not delay any longer.
Otherwise, in the future, his advantage would be lost.
And Jin Yu asked for a long time but could not find out anything. Many Tibetans even regarded those purple clouds as a kind of divine sign.
The group finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun.
But as soon as they reached the foot of Kunlun, an accident happened.
Because someone died!
