The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1759: Sudden Avalanche

The conversation between the two women carried a hint of gunpowder, but Ji Qian wouldn’t act on it yet, at least not before her delivery. And if Chen Yuxin was slightly more sensible, she wouldn’t make the first move either. The Ji family camp was less than fifty miles away, and with Ji Tao’s protective nature, he wouldn’t hesitate to intervene. Chen Yuxin wasn’t afraid of him, but she had to consider the child in her womb. This time, the Chen family entered Kunlun Mountain, and throughout the journey, they hadn’t entered any ruins or collaborated with any families. Chen Yuxin had only one goal, which was to reach the Secret Realm at the mountain’s peak.

"Family Head, there are many forces nearby, it’s not safe here, let’s go back first." At this moment, a woman in a black leather jacket slowly approached. She was one of the leaders of the Shadow Organization, Feng Ling, and also Chen Yuxin’s confidant. Despite her young age, she was able to manage the entire Chen family, not without the help of capable subordinates. A while ago, when abroad, Ji Qian and Feng Ling had a confrontation, and Ji Qian couldn’t last thirty moves. In terms of combat power, Feng Ling was comparable to Ye Shikai, or rather, the "former" Ye Shikai.

"You should go back now, it’s cold, and it’s snowing. If you hurt the baby in your belly, you will regret it." Ji Qian said smugly, clearly trying to provoke her.

"Ji Qian, just you wait."

Ji Family, camp.

"Lord Moon God, where did you go just now? We couldn’t find you." Selena was Ji Qian’s personal guard, but Ji Qian had gone off alone to "clear her mind," so she hadn’t taken Selena with her.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"With the heavy snow and cold outside, my lord should head into the tent first."

"Alright."

During the day, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of battle cries. Every mile traveled revealed bodies on the road; they were all fighting desperately for the treasures in Kunlun Mountain. Ultimately, no one would likely reap any benefits. Big fish eat small fish, but the big fish will eventually be devoured by even bigger fish. But by evening, tranquility reigned as the heavy snow fell. Perhaps everyone desired a "temporary truce."

The next day.

"Alright, it’s been a whole night of chasing, why haven’t we caught up yet?" Ye Shikai panted, having not slept all night and rushed a whole night without finding a trace.

"Night travel is already difficult, let alone in heavy snow. Last night, you covered at most forty miles. It’s said sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the work of cutting firewood; you might as well rest and set out in daylight."

"Enough, stop talking." Ye Shikai ate a few pieces of biscuits and suddenly felt a slight tremor.

"What’s going on? Am I fainting from hunger?" Ye Shikai was somewhat bewildered, but the shaking ground soon made everything clear to him.

Rumble, rumble.

The ground shook wildly, and the accumulated snow started to roll down.

Oh no, it’s an avalanche.

Back when he was on the Holy Mountain, Ye Shikai experienced an avalanche, almost losing his life, so he’s too familiar with it. If one is even slightly careless, even a cultivator would die.

"Quick, kid, find a place and hide!" The Blade Spirit hurriedly shouted. Ye Shikai looked at a huge rock not far away, quickly ran to the back of it, and firmly anchored himself with a climbing pick.

Rumble.

A fierce wind accompanied by snow struck, the ground covered with snow was like a torrent pouring down. Ye Shikai held onto the rock tightly; a minor slip could sweep him away.

"Kid, you better hold on, if this snow sweeps you away, all your effort last night will be in vain."

"What."

Ye Shikai channeled his Inner Strength, his feet planted firmly on the ground, hands against the stone, pushing forward with force, snow rolling down on both sides, him like a "sturdy rock" in the water.

Three minutes later.

Ye Shikai closed his eyes tightly, a silence enveloping him, his hands gradually loosening. The avalanche should be over by now...

"Kid, hurry up and move." The Blade Spirit’s words snapped Ye Shikai back to reality. The snow on both sides was over two meters high, and yet this rock had somehow blocked it.

"Why did it suddenly avalanche?" Ye Shikai climbed atop the stone, surveyed the surroundings—goodness, it was a vast whiteness, making it impossible to distinguish north from south, east from west.

"It must have been a shake from the mountain; with the heavy snow last night, the snow was deep enough to reach the waist. Even a minor earthquake could cause the snow up there to slip and then roll into a snowball."

Ye Shikai climbed up onto the snow, the soft snow surface was extremely difficult to walk on. One leg out, the other stuck in the snow, forcing him to pull it out before moving forward. This speed was hardly much faster than crawling.

.................................

Ji Family, camp.

"How is everyone, are you all okay?" Ji Tao shouted loudly. The avalanche struck without warning, and not just the Ji family, but the leading families had also been almost swept away from standing in front. The campground site was originally on flat land, leaving nowhere to hide when the avalanche hit.

"Qian’er, are you alright?" Ji Tao found Ji Qian, very concerned, asking if she was injured.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine, the avalanche came too suddenly, no one was prepared." Ji Qian waved her hand. Many people around were still buried in the snow. Though cultivators have good physical attributes, they can only preserve their lives. For avalanches of this magnitude, mere human effort is impossible to resist.

"Selena, have all the people been found?" Ji Qian asked hurriedly.

"Lord Moon God, the avalanche came too quickly just now; it seems Lord War God and the others have been swept away."

"What, how could this happen?" Ji Qian sighed silently. There had been so much snow the previous night, and having experienced similar at the Holy Mountain, she should have anticipated this earlier.

"Father, the immediate priority is to quickly find those swept away and gather the manpower." Ji Qian must find them.

"Alright, then you go, be careful. I’ll let Old Chen bring the White Mist Army to accompany you."

"No need, I can go on my own." Ji Qian waved her hand, and only took the remaining twenty or so Moon Guards with her, hurrying down the mountain.

"Wang Kai, Nightmare, where are you?" Ji Qian shouted loudly, but in the vast snowfield, it seemed like "finding a needle in a haystack."

"Everyone spread out to search, and once you find them, bring them back here." Ji Qian ordered.

"Yes."

"Selena, follow me."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Wang Kai also woke up from unconsciousness. The powerful impact of the avalanche caught him off guard, and when he awoke, he was even more unsettled; his entire body was hanging in a tree, with snow beneath him. It seemed he had been swept down and got caught in the tree.

"So unlucky, caught in another avalanche." Wang Kai complained. Just like it had been on the Holy Mountain before, now it’s the same again.
