Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 578 - 386: Kunlun! (Double-Length)

Which land route offers the greatest chance of escape? Perhaps none other than Yunnan or Xinjiang.

The Xinjiang border stretches over five thousand kilometers, making up a quarter of the national land boundary, and borders eight countries.

However, border ports here are managed very strictly, with patrols in place year-round, making it difficult for ordinary people to leave through illegal means.

On the city bypass expressway, Ma Chaoyang sat in an inconspicuous Passat, occasionally turning to look through the rear window, appearing somewhat uneasy.

He didn’t understand why Old He suddenly wanted him to leave when they had just framed Qin Minghui a couple of days ago, diverting external attention.

Yet Ma Chaoyang knew one thing for sure, as his greatest protector, the connections and information channels his mentor controlled were unparalleled.

Arranging for him to leave might have been due to receiving some kind of tip-off...

As the car was about to reach the highway toll gate, queuing to pass through the ETC.

Suddenly, a blinding headlight shot in from the rear door.

Startled, Ma Chaoyang hurriedly turned back to check, but the intense light stabbed his eyes painfully, prompting him to instinctively shield them with his hand.

"Boom!"

A dull loud bang suddenly exploded from the rear of the car, the impact arrived unexpectedly!

The immense force thrust the Passat forward several meters, as Ma Chaoyang felt a tremendous force push him forward, his head colliding directly with the metal frame of the front passenger seat, plunging his world into darkness and leaving his ears ringing.

Before he could gather himself, another more violent collision struck the right side of the car!

"Crash!"

The entire car tilted to the left, with the left front wheel climbing over the curb of the ETC lane, the screeching sound of metal friction reverberating.

Following that, two people emerged from the SUVs that collided with the Passat, none other than Duan Pingyu and An Zai.

They strode over to the Passat, with An Zai placing his hand in his coat pocket as if grasping something, aiming it at the driver.

Duan Pingyu then yanked open the rear door, pulling the still-dazed Ma Chaoyang out and dragging him towards the SUV.

"What are you doing!"

"What are you doing!"

Snapping back to reality, Ma Chaoyang realized things weren’t right and started struggling desperately, but against Duan Pingyu, he had no chance of escape.

The entire process lasted less than a minute, and the two SUVs swiftly left the scene.

Elsewhere, Old He, who was practicing calligraphy in his study, received a phone call. His hand holding the brush paused abruptly, turning the once neat words "tranquility leads to far-reaching" into a large blot of ink.

After discarding the brush, he stepped to the window, frowning at the night outside, seemingly lost in thought.

After five or six minutes, he picked up his phone again, dialing a number with a Jing city area code.

"They’ve made their move after all..."

...

France, Lyon.

Inside a research center controlled by the Gwen Clan, De Gaulle sat in his office, reviewing documents.

This research center housed over twenty experts in archaeology, geography, astronomy, including two history experts who had just arrived from Huaxia.

All researchers had signed strict confidentiality agreements and were prohibited from leaving the research center for a long time.

At the last Gwen Clan meeting, the elders had agreed to De Gaulle sharing information with Qi Yun, but he seemed only to have spoken of doing so without actual intention.

Perhaps mentioning the proposition was merely to test whether the elders supported him...

"Zzz..."

The communication device on the table suddenly emitted static, followed by a slightly excited voice, "Mr. De Gaulle! We made a major discovery!"

De Gaulle abruptly sat up straight: "I’ll be right there!"

Saying that, he grabbed his coat and hurried towards the laboratory.

Upon entering, a researcher immediately approached him with a tablet.

"Mr. De Gaulle, through our research and analysis, we’ve identified the final destination of these clues!"

"Where!?" De Gaulle asked eagerly upon hearing this.

The researcher adjusted his glasses with excitement: "Huaxia! Kunlun Mountain!"

"Kunlun Mountain!?" De Gaulle’s eyes lit up as he looked at the topographic map on the tablet.

Over an hour later, De Gaulle left the research center and returned to the manor.

In the castle’s conference room, the family elders were already waiting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the map’s clues have been deciphered, the Land of Eternal Life is in Huaxia’s Kunlun Mountain!"

"I plan to personally lead the expedition!"

...

Shanghai, in a hotel room, Qi Yun was awakened by a ringing phone.

Bleary-eyed, he glanced at the caller ID, then sat up and answered.

"Mr. Qi Yun, I’ve got news for you, my team has deciphered those guides, and the final location is at Huaxia’s Kunlun Mountain!"

"You should prepare in advance, I’ll come over soon to meet you."

Kunlun Mountain!

These words thundered through Qi Yun’s mind, instantly dispelling any drowsiness.

This vast mountain range, stretching over two thousand kilometers across the northwest, not only held the prestigious title of "Ancestor of All Mountains," but also was imbued with mythical elements in ancient texts.

According to the "Classics of Mountains and Seas: Records of West Mountain," 400 li southwest, known as Mount Kunlun, is truly the earthly capital of the Emperor, overseen by the deity Lu Wu.
