Chapter 1266
Yan Aohan nodded in agreement. "Since I retrieved the meteorite for you, it is yours to decide. You may do with it as you please."
Gu Jun, listening to their conversation from the side, rolled his eyes. "The island hasn't even sunk yet, and you haven't even lifted the meteorite. Yet you are already discussing how to use it. Is your imagination too big?"
His tone was truly helpless. However, he knew that once they spoke this way, the island was doomed. Whether it would sink or be found and mined later, this place was destined to become history.
Zhu Yanyi followed the clues provided by the plants and quickly located the center of the meteorite impact. The center was strange; it was as smooth as a mirror. Judging by its cleanliness, it seemed people occasionally came here for picnics.
"This is it." Zhu Yanyi pointed to a spot and threw a punch.
Crack. A crack appeared in the stone. Zhu Yanyi was slightly impressed by its hardness, considering she had used the power of a mid-stage Transformation Realm expert.
One punch wasn't enough, so she threw two more, then three. Finally, the stone could not hold. Crash. It shattered into fragments, revealing a huge hollow space. As soon as the void appeared, a massive whirlwind erupted.
Yan Aohan had been watching closely. Seeing this, he immediately moved to Zhu Yanyi’s side, wrapped his arm around her waist, and flew away. Gu Jun followed Yan Aohan.
They did not hesitate. They quickly boarded their speedboat.
They retreated several hundred meters before stopping, watching as the whirlwind grew larger, tearing up many trees.
Simultaneously, the hole in the center of the island, caused by the shattered rock, expanded rapidly. Like a boat with a leaky bottom, seawater began to rise from below. With a loud splash, the island split into four parts and began to sink rapidly.
Zhu Yanyi clearly saw several figures trying to escape, but they could not outrun the speed of this natural disaster.
"Do you think that madman is on the island?" Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan. She really wanted to see if the madman had died.
Yan Aohan said calmly, "It does not matter if he is here or not. If he is here, let him die cleanly. If he is not, it is irrelevant. He will eventually die by our hands."
"Actually, I think death is not the best way. Does he have other bases besides this one?"
Zhu Yanyi despised this madman. She did not believe she had only one base. As a research fanatic, she would not leave her laboratory unless absolutely necessary. They had not found her in the laboratory during their visit. This meant she was not on this island. Therefore, she must be elsewhere. For this reason, Zhu Yanyi speculated that she likely had multiple hideouts, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.
Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s question, Yan Aohan did not hide the truth. "This island is the madman’s main camp. Within China, there is indeed another one. That one…" Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi for a long while.
"Does that one have anything to do with me?" Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned by Yan Aohan’s expression, then asked.
Yan Aohan smiled and shook his head. "That one is in the Tibetan region."
Tibetan region. Zhu Yanyi’s heart skipped a beat. "So it is in the Tibetan region."
Based on various reports, Zhu Yanyi could confirm that Medicine Elder was currently hidden in the Tibetan region, but she still did not know the exact location.
Zhu Yanyi had actually considered visiting the Tibetan region, but it had not worked out. Perhaps this time she could go first to take a look. She looked up at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan knew what she was thinking from her expression. This was why he had not told her earlier. Seeing her expression, he knew she would not change her mind, so he said, "If you want to go to the Tibetan region, I will not stop you. But there is one condition: you cannot act alone. Also, do not be reckless if you do not find information about Medicine Elder. Furthermore, the roads in the Tibetan region are currently closed due to the season. So, we can only go when spring opens next year."
What she meant by "reckless" was her worry that she would not stop until she found the person.
Zhu Yanyi understood Yan Aohan’s concern and nodded with a smile. "You know I have never been a reckless person."
Although she worried about Medicine Elder, her reason remained intact. Moreover, with the ten-year promise letter from Medicine Elder, this trip was merely a slight probe. Most importantly, her goal was to eliminate the madman and her base in the Tibetan region.
She was clear about her purpose and would not confuse her goals. She knew this well.
"Good. Since that is the case, I will accompany you to the Tibetan region. However, we can only go when spring opens next year. So, we must first return to Kyoto." Yan Aohan paused, then looked seriously at Zhu Yanyi.
"The time spent in the Tibetan region will not be short. I originally did not plan to be away for so long, so I have been somewhat relaxed regarding the Yang and Zheng families. Now that I have decided to accompany you to the Tibetan region in spring, I need to deal with them first. Of course, the main thing is, I want to cut off the roots of the Yang family."
Yan Aohan never considered himself a magnanimous person. The Yang and Zheng families had been at large for so many years. It was indeed time to deal with them properly.
Only after eliminating potential troubles could one have the time to do other things, without worrying about a knife appearing from behind at any moment.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Do you need my help?" Going to the Tibetan region was not urgent. Zhu Yanyi did not want Yan Aohan to face any crisis.
"Make some poison for me." Yan Aohan did not hesitate and asked for poison directly.
Gu Jun frowned from the side. "Using poison is not the act of a gentleman."
"Using poison is more convenient when dealing with evil people." Before Yan Aohan could speak, Zhu Yanyi spoke first.
"Besides, fighting evil with evil is how we promote goodness. As the old saying goes, if you repay kindness with kindness, how can you repay those who do good? So, I will never have any goodwill toward any evil person. Brother Gu, please do not be too rigid." Zhu Yanyi’s small face was very serious.
Gu Jun was slightly stunned. Although she often went out to walk around, she had never encountered such a situation with Zhu Yanyi.
Hearing Zhu Yanyi say this, she suddenly did not know how to reply. "We are doctors. Doctors should save the dying and heal the wounded."
"I think I understand why your Sage Academy has declined." Zhu Yanyi looked at Gu Jun with an expression of strong disagreement.
"Why?" Gu Jun also wanted to know why his family’s Sage Academy was having such a hard time developing.
Gu Jun also wanted to restore the former glory of her Sage Academy, so she took Zhu Yanyi’s words seriously. If she could find the reason, that would be great.
"Because you are too rigid." Zhu Yanyi looked at Gu Jun seriously, her eyes showing disapproval.
