Send Me Out a Few Who Are Still Breathing

Hua Qiang looked at the white-clad mountain range before him. The rolling hills were completely covered in white.

As far as the eye can see, apart from pure white, there is almost no other color.

The mountain peak directly in front of them stood proudly like a jade pillar reaching to the sky, its surface completely covered in Bing Xue, shimmering with a cold light.

Hua Qiang's face showed disbelief. He slowly turned his head to look at Hua Xingchen beside him and Wen Dao in confusion, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Your wife lives in this godforsaken place?"

"This doesn't look like a place where anyone lives at all."

Upon hearing this, Hua Xingchen's eyes widened in anger. He glared at Hua Qiang and shouted, "How dare you talk like that? I'm your father, and my wife is your mother! Watch your words!"

Hua Qiang, however, curled his lip indifferently, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! Have you ever supported me for even a single day?"

"I have been an orphan since I was a child and have never felt any love from you. Now you are acting as my parents."

Hua Xingchen was speechless for a moment after being choked by Hua Qiang's words. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute them.

A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but there was also a touch of helplessness.

He didn't want it to be like this either!

Moreover, he had no idea he had a son, but he dared not say it.

This Bing Xue- covered mountain range truly makes it hard to imagine that anyone would live here.

But he firmly believed that his memory was accurate; Gu Hongyan had told him this place herself, so there was no way he could be wrong.

Hua Xingchen gazed at the towering, Bing Xue mountain peak and fell into deep thought.

Hua Qiang frowned and Wen Dao again, "Are you sure this is the right place?"

Hua Xingchen's eyes were firm, and he gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, "Yes, absolutely no mistake."

I see!

Hua Qiang stroked his bald chin, his gaze fixed on the mountain peak in front of him.

His eyes flickered twice, and he thought to himself: It seems there must be some great methods here.

Either it's a concealment formation, making this place seem ordinary but actually hiding a secret.

Or perhaps there's a secret passage somewhere that leads to another mysterious place.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Qiang thought, "If that's the case, then let's just shout it out."

Originally, he intended to use brute force to flatten the Xuefeng Mountain Range, since with his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so.

But the thought that his adoptive mother might still be inside him made him worry that his own family member might get hurt.

Hua Qiang coughed lightly twice to clear his throat, then mustered all his strength and shouted at the massive mountain peak, "Is anyone here?"

"A few of you who are still breathing, come out here!"

His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the valley for a long time.

Rumble... Rumble!

The sound was so powerful that several mountains could not withstand it, resulting in several avalanches.

Seeing that no one had appeared, Hua Qiang shouted again at the empty mountains.

"Damn it, is anyone even here?"

Does it contain air?

"Get a few of you out here, or I'll have to resort to force!"

Hua Xingchen's lips twitched as he listened. This kid had poor manners, always swearing. It seemed he would have to educate him more in the future.

This guy Wen Dao he's raised his son to be good at everything, except for his... unethical way of speaking!

Perhaps it was Hua Qiang's last words that had an effect, because with a whoosh, several figures appeared deep in the mountains and rushed towards Hua Qiang and Hua Xingchen.

Before the person even arrived, their voice came first.

"Who the hell is shouting 'Little bastard' here?"

Didn't your parents teach you how to speak properly? What's with that "with a hint of anger"?

"Where the hell did you study? Where did you graduate from?"

I'm going to go and ask your teacher how exactly he taught you...

Before the burly man in the lead could finish speaking, he felt a hand slap him across the face.

A loud slap echoed across the valley, and then his body flew backward dozens of meters.

He felt a burning pain on his face, and when he reached out to touch it, one side of his face was gone.

"Ah—my face is gone, my face is gone!" the man screamed in terror.

"Shut up!"

"Gah!"

The man was so frightened by Hua Qiang's cold shout that he immediately shut his mouth.

"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me! You'd better have the guts to be arrogant. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

Hua Qiang's extremely cold words stirred up a gust of wind, causing the snow on the ground to rise into a cloud of snow mist.

The men who rushed towards them stopped in their tracks and shuddered.

A man slightly over 18 years old stepped forward and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Gentlemen, where did you come from? What brings you here?"

"This is private property. If there is nothing else, please leave this place!"

Private property?

Hua Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It seems there are indeed people living here, and it's even been designated as private property. The people living here must be quite influential.

Hua Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Brother, my son and I are here to find an old friend. Please do us a favor and let us in."

"You... are looking for someone? May I ask who you are? Who are you looking for?"

"Hua Xingchen, come find my wife Gu Hongyan!"

Hiss--

The man gasped, his eyes widening as he stared intently at Hua Xingchen.

"You... you are Hua Xingchen?"

The man looked like he'd seen a ghost, his voice rising two octaves.

"Impossible, how could you possibly be here?"

Weren't you assigned to guard the Demon Suppressing Abyss Demon Suppressing Eye?

"How many centimeters have passed? Could it be that 100 centimeters have already passed?"

"Wait a minute, I'm only 42 years old this year, and I've only been 18 for a short time. How did you get out here? Aren't you afraid that person will come after you?"

"Hehe, it seems you know what's going on here. Stop talking nonsense and tell me, where is Gu Hongyan?"

Hua Qiang had no time for their nonsense and went straight to the point.

"You, you are..."

The man was so intimidated by Hua Qiang's imposing aura that he was almost speechless.

"Who do you care who I am? Get yourselves out of here or I'll chop this place up in half!"

"Damn it, what a boastful bastard! Daring to say he could split this place in two with one blow?"

"Ji Qingqing, how dare you be so ignorant and arrogant?"

"Don't think you can look down on everyone just because you have some fighting power. I'm the best in the world!"

You must know that there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. Young man, you'll suffer sooner or later if you continue like this!

The others were enraged by Hua Qiang's words and started shouting and yelling at each other.

Clap clap clap!

Hua Qiang raised his hand and slapped each of them across the face, sending them flying like embroidered balls being tossed around.

How noisy!

"Why don't you answer my questions properly? You just have to force me to take action."

"I'll give you one more chance. How do we get in here?"

Where the hell are you turtles hiding again?

And where is Gu Hongyan?

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! Brothers, get him! Kill this bastard!"
