Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 302: Taking the Back Door

Inside the villa, the atmosphere was heavy.

It had been over a day and night since Kuanghuan was arrested.

Inside Kuanghuan's villa, no one came to offer condolences, making it incredibly quiet.

It seemed as if everyone had forgotten about Kuanghuan.

In the military camp,

The general was dressed in military uniform, his expression complex.

He had just finished a phone call with his superiors.

At this moment, his assistant asked, "Should we inform Kuanghuan's family?"

The general shook his head, "Kuanghuan's family has lost their rationality. It's useless to say anything now.

They only care about their own interests and won't prioritize the interests of the country.

It's impossible to explain such a big matter to them."

As soon as he spoke, he resorted to moral blackmail.

The country is a tool of the ruling class, especially in the Qin Yuan Kingdom, where the royal family and the Seven Martial Stars co-govern the world.

Upon hearing this, the assistant nodded.

He naturally understood what the general meant.

"The higher-ups want us to minimize the scale of this matter and handle it calmly," the general said again. "If Kuanghuan's family comes to me again, find an excuse to turn them away."

"Understood," the assistant complied. "This time, it's Kuanghuan's own fault. He should have just focused on selling weapons instead of going to the front lines."

The general nodded in agreement.

If they had followed their plan to buy weapons, Kuanghuan wouldn't have encountered any problems.

In his opinion, Kuanghuan not only sold weapons but also had insatiable greed and engaged in other businesses, which led to his capture in enemy territory.

They were already showing great magnanimity by not charging Kuanghuan with treason.

Now that Kuanghuan had been arrested, they were in a passive position, which the general considered a big mistake.

"He shouldn't die, but he will definitely suffer some injuries. It's inevitable," the general said indifferently.

The Wugui Kingdom and the Qin Yuan Kingdom were hostile to each other. If the Wugui Kingdom captured Kuanghuan, he would undoubtedly suffer.

It could even be said that when he returned, his limbs and organs might not be intact.

...

Inside the villa,

Kuangxi looked at the somewhat fragile man in front of her, disappointment flashing in her eyes.

During this time, she had also investigated some information about Qi Yuan and found that he was an apprentice at the Mingwu Resonance Martial Arts Academy.

Their encounter was also a coincidence.

As for other information, she couldn't find anything at all.

Of course, she didn't know that Qi Yuan had hidden and disguised his online identity with the help of the improved robot Zero One.

The information that others could find was only the most basic.

"So... Kuanghuan is currently in the Saqing military camp in the Wugui Kingdom?" Qi Yuan said softly.

According to Kuangxi, Kuanghuan was captured while collecting the Longyu Root.

The Longyu Root was a crucial material that Qi Yuan needed.

But this plant only grew in the Wugui Kingdom, so Kuanghuan took a risk and went there, but the news was leaked, and he was captured by the Wugui Kingdom.

"Yes, we've pleaded with the general, but they declined," Kuangxi said. "Mr. Qi, I don't know if you know any influential people who can communicate with the Wugui Kingdom and get my brother released. Our Kuang family is willing to pay... any price!"

Kuanghuan was the hope of the family and held the title of Viscount.

Her brother didn't have any children, so if he died outside like this, the hereditary viscount title would probably pass to another branch.

"I don't know any influential people," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

He had only been in this world for three months.

Today was his first time leaving Opening Heaven City.

How could he know any influential people?

Sure enough, upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, both the young woman and Kuangxi's eyes filled with disappointment.

"I'm already happy that Mr. Qi came," the young woman couldn't help but say. Thinking about the reactions of others, she felt even more resentful.

However, at this moment, Qi Yuan said, "Actually... I'm quite capable. Arrange a special car for me and send me to the front line. I'll rescue Kuanghuan."

Qi Yuan said casually.

Kuanghuan fell into trouble.

Kuanghuan is his subordinate, still working for him.

Naturally, he has to rescue Kuanghuan.

He is a good person, orderly and kind, without the need to create a selfish image. Whatever he does, he naturally acts according to his own will.

After cultivating for so long, he has never encountered a modern military force.

Now that there is an opportunity, he naturally wants to have a taste of it.

After all, when his strength improves and he returns to his peak period of power, he can easily crush the stars in the sky with a single punch. It would be meaningless to bully ordinary people at that time.

"Mr. Qi... you're going to personally rescue him?" Kuangxi was stunned.

This answer was beyond her expectations.

Not only her, but Kuanghuan's wife was also stunned.

"Yes, I'll go personally and bring him back from the military camp," Qi Yuan said casually.

In his heart, this matter seemed insignificant.

This statement completely caught Kuangxi off guard.

Generally speaking, the methods they thought of were for some important figure to use diplomatic means and exchange interests to bring his brother back.

No one had ever thought of directly rescuing him from the military camp of Wugui Country... this idea never crossed anyone's mind.

With the military strength of the Qin Yuan Country, they could indeed overpower Wugui Country.

But Ancient Witch Country is not to be trifled with either.

How could Qin Yuan Country start a war so easily just for Kuanghuan?

"Mr. Qi... you're not joking, are you? That's the military camp of Wugui Country, with the strength of a whole battalion inside!"

According to the military system of the country of Wugui, a regiment has around three thousand soldiers.

These three thousand soldiers are equipped with various advanced weapons, including tanks, armored vehicles, drones, and even fighter jets.

To rescue someone from such a military camp is undoubtedly a dream.

When Qi Yuan said he would go to rescue them, they were astonished and found it unbelievable.

"Well, I know. You just need to arrange a car for me," Qi Yuan confidently said.

The young woman was stunned.

Kuangxi was also stunned, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing their reactions, Qi Yuan helplessly said, "Madam, don't you want to avoid suffering in the military camp? Don't waste time, prepare the personnel and send me to the front line. As for how I will rescue them, you can imagine it however you want."

Qi Yuan always valued time and never wasted words.

The young woman and Kuangxi couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Both of them were now a bit confused. The development of today's events was too strange.

They felt that it was normal to face a mentally ill person.

However, Kuangxi's wife could only nod abruptly and say, "I will immediately arrange for Mr. Qi to be sent to the front line. Mr. Qi... if it is impossible, please take care of yourself!"

Kuangxi's wife spoke very tactfully.

If they couldn't be saved, then so be it, but don't get themselves involved.

Kuangxi also said at this time, "Since Big Brother trusts you, I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Qi!"

Kuangxi had once told his wife that if they encountered a crisis, they should rely on Qi Yuan.

Therefore, Kuangxi and Kuangxi's wife were willing to arrange for Qi Yuan to go to the front line.

"Hurry up and make arrangements, I'm in a hurry," Qi Yuan said.

This time, heading to the front line, it is estimated that it will take several days according to the route.

The Martial Dao Conference has started and there are only two days left.

He is definitely not going back.

"Okay, I will arrange it immediately, please wait, sir," Kuangxi said excitedly, then turned and left.

At this moment, there were only his jubilant wife and Qi Yuan left in the room.

Qi Yuan glanced at the young woman and said, "I have something to do, I'll make a phone call."

Qi Yuan took out his phone and made a call.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Shan's voice came through.

"Why are you calling me, kid?"

"I'm taking the back door," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

Although he was not a privileged person and did not enjoy privileges.

But with a mental illness certificate, taking a privilege... shouldn't be a big deal either.

"What back door?" Yang Shan was a little confused.

"I have a partner who got into trouble, and I need to go abroad to get him out," Qi Yuan explained the origin of the matter.

"You're serious, your martial arts skills are okay, but when you encounter genetic warriors, you probably won't be able to handle it," Yang Shan didn't know what had happened.

He was afraid that once Qi Yuan reached the limit of a Martial Artist, he would become arrogant and dare to challenge some untouchable existences.

Qi Yuan ignored him and said to himself, "I can't participate in the Martial Dao Conference two days later.

Can you help me on your end and directly admit me to the national level?"

Qi Yuan didn't have time to participate in the Martial Dao Conference in Tianyue City.

What he wanted was to directly participate in the national level.

Yang Shan, as a Martial Artist at the limit of Martial Dao, was also considered a celebrity in the Martial Artist circle.

That's why Qi Yuan thought of asking him for help.

Yang Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Your strength is indeed sufficient to skip the city-level competition and participate in the national one.

Here's the deal, after you come back, I'll take you through a special channel to participate in the national competition.

But... we need to test your strength, you'll have to fight someone then."

"No problem," Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

If it didn't work, he would probably have to go to the organizing unit of the Martial Dao Conference.

That would be too troublesome.

If it could be resolved, that would be good.

About half an hour later, Kuangxi came back. She looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of respect in her voice, "Mr. Qi, the journey has been arranged.

We'll take a car to the airport first, then take a plane. When we arrive in Dian City, we'll switch to a sedan and there will be someone to pick us up!

The journey will take about two and a half days."

"No problem," Qi Yuan nodded.

Just treat it as going on a trip.

...

Two days passed.

Qi Yuan sat in the sedan, his gaze calm.

The man driving for him was a burly man, with a gun at his waist.

This burly man was one of Kuanghuan's trusted men, a mercenary.

At this moment, the car was driving on the main road, the burly man focused on driving, but occasionally glanced back at Qi Yuan.

He didn't know Qi Yuan's identity, but he knew that Qi Yuan was going to save his boss.

He was puzzled and didn't know how Qi Yuan would do it.

Just then, Qi Yuan suddenly spoke up.

"Stop the car."

The car immediately braked, and the burly man looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"There's something interesting, I didn't expect to encounter it here," Qi Yuan got out of the sedan.

In the distance was a desert-like terrain, with weeds mixed with some yellow sand.

The air was somewhat dry, and when the wind blew, some sand was lifted up.

Not far from the ground, you can occasionally see mineral water bottles and condoms hanging from trees.

Qi Yuan stopped in front of a plant, showing a serious expression.

"This is a Nepenthes, a good thing for purifying bloodlines."

Purifying bloodlines also have some uses in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Some cultivators who inherit the bloodlines of ancient fierce beasts will use materials like Nepenthes to purify their bloodlines.

However, this is useless for ordinary cultivators.

They cultivate immortality, which has nothing to do with bloodlines.

Qi Yuan also has no use for Nepenthes in his cultivation.

But in the path of martial arts, it might come in handy.

Since Qi Yuan encountered it, he naturally wouldn't be polite. He bent down and dug up this Nepenthes.

The burly man next to him looked puzzled, his confusion and curiosity about Qi Yuan's eccentricity deepening.

"Alright, let's get back in the car and continue on."

Qi Yuan spoke and returned to the car.

Now, he was wearing a windbreaker, and his hair had grown quite a bit since three months ago.

With longer hair and a change of ancient clothing, he could pretend to be an ancient person.

The burly man continued to drive the car, and he spoke, "Now we are taking the smuggling route. Later, we will join a smuggling caravan from the Yue Lang Kingdom and pretend to be one of them in order to enter the Wu Gui Kingdom."

"Oh... aren't the two countries at war? Why are they still smuggling?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Because the smuggled goods are high-end products that the nobles of both countries need. For example, Timi wine, which is a specialty of the Yue Lang Kingdom and is brewed with the unique mountain spring water from the Tila Mountains. This kind of wine is particularly popular among the upper echelons and nobles of the Wu Gui Kingdom. So even if a war breaks out, those upper echelons and nobles will prohibit the smuggling of other things, but not Timi wine. Therefore, the current smuggling caravans actually serve the upper echelons and nobles of both countries. Although the people below may fight and kill each other, the upper echelons... still live a luxurious life, don't they?" The burly man's words carried an indescribable meaning.

After all, in this world, he belonged to the lower class.

"No wonder everyone wants to be in power," Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Even the upper class of the Wu Gui Kingdom lives such a luxurious life. I can't imagine what kind of life the families of the Seven Martial Stars have." The burly man's eyes were filled with envy.

His boss, Viscount Kuanghuan, was already considered a big shot in his eyes.

But compared to those people from the Seven Martial Stars, he was nothing.

Qi Yuan smiled and wasn't interested in these things.

After about two hours, the car stopped in a small town.

The burly man said to Qi Yuan, "Mr. Qi, follow my instructions later."

On the way, the burly man had already told Qi Yuan what was about to happen.

Everything was arranged by the burly man.

"Okay," Qi Yuan nodded.

At this moment, the burly man said, "Mr. Qi, it's not too late to back out now. If we join the caravan, we won't be able to go back directly."

These words were also taught to him by Viscount Kuanghuan's wife to say to Qi Yuan.

Once the decision is made to go, they can't go back directly.

The two countries are still at war, and running around on the front lines may get them killed by drones.

"Wait until Kuanghuan is rescued, then we can come back," Qi Yuan smiled, "Let's hurry up and finish this quickly. The air here is too dry, and I don't want to stay too long."

Upon hearing this answer, the burly man didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

Because he would also have to accompany Qi Yuan throughout this journey.

If Mr. Qi goes to his death, he will undoubtedly die as well.

To some extent, he actually hoped that Mr. Qi wouldn't go.

But if Mr. Qi goes, he will go too.

His life was given by his boss.

And he will return it to his boss.

For him, the world is just that simple.
