Chapter 440: Chapter 250: An Arrow Launched into Heaven (Part 2)

These stupid thieves, they intended to kidnap the children of the experts from the Immortal Committee, but they kidnapped the wrong target and ended up taking Old Chen’s child.

If it were really the children of the experts from the Immortal Committee, they would be more tightly protected and wouldn’t be so easily kidnapped.

It just happened to be that way, and those children were unlucky.

Took out the phone to glance at it, only to see that the forum’s public opinion was rapidly fermenting.

[They must be severely punished!]

[Have they caught the people yet?]

[Why the rush? The committee must be taking action now]

[Oh my God, those are dozens of children, it’s really nerve-wracking]

[Is the Immortal Committee’s expert exam still on? Why does it feel unsafe?]

[Those kids aren’t the expert’s children]

[It’s almost the same, right? It doesn’t feel safe either way]

Not to mention those stupid thieves, ordinary people can’t tell the difference between the two either.

As for the Blood Saber Palace, which kidnapped the children, they were extremely arrogant and posted again.

[Hahahaha, Immortal Committee? Expert? What’s so arrogant?]

[We’re taking this bunch of kids away]

[Selecting the smartest from among them to be trained as assassins for the Dark World]

[The less talented ones will be used as experimental material]

[Hahahaha]

Bai Mo turned off the phone and looked up at the sky.

In just a short moment, the sky had turned a deep sapphire blue.

At 20,000 meters in the sky, in the gentle evening wind, within the thin clouds, the crystalline lens inside the eye of the Fire Toad was also rapidly transformed at this moment!

With a thought from Bai Mo, the crystalline lens suddenly reflected the Bronze Great Tripod, its surface covered with runes, guarded by four foxes at its mouth. This tripod was Bai Mo’s Knowledge Container, the Fruit Tripod!

At this moment, the tripod’s mouth turned over, rushing towards the outside of the Fire Toad’s eye, towards the sky over West State, towards the tall buildings, the roads, rushing through the mazelike streets, through the steel flood of the evening rush hour, the swarm of cars...

"This great tripod has a special sense for fruit-type Immortal Grass.

"If that child ate the Purple Bean Bun, ate the Purple Crystal Taro inside, this great tripod would sense it.

"Child, I don’t know if you’ve eaten it or not.

"May fate protect you!

"Open your eyes!"

The world inside the Fire Toad’s eyes changed color abruptly!

In the dusk of West State, where the city’s lights were just switched on, the street lamps lit up, in the steel flood of cars turning on their headlights... in its eyes, it all turned gray-white!

Only a few places had faint glimmering halos.

"The biggest halo here is... the Immortal Grass Building?

"That place is... the North Suburb Base?"

The Fire Toad’s pupils quickly zoomed in, continuously focusing and enlarging on the places with fruit Immortal Grass.

"This place is... which company’s office?"

"This one is... a resident’s dining table? Not reporting the involvement of immortality, and bringing Immortal Grass back to stew with chicken?"

"This place?"

The Fire Toad’s vision suddenly locked onto a spot on the overpass, where there was clearly nothing, yet a small violet halo was moving fast along the road, occasionally overtaking cars.

"It really turned invisible?

"It’s quite advanced."

The Fire Toad Balloon’s right eye’s Immortal Qi view, and the left eye also turned towards the target, zooming constantly, opening anti-invisibility vision!

The two views returned to Bai Mo’s side, and in Bai Mo’s mind, they merged, revealing the speeding school bus through the skylight, allowing a glimpse into the scene inside.

"The kids are okay, that’s great.

"The driver... seems to be conscious?

"Looks like it’s not out of control, just malicious?

"Then the situation is rather simple." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The Fire Toad opened its mouth, emanating a mist that blurred dreams and reality!

Whoosh!

An ordinary tree branch shot out like an arrow from the white mist!

This branch was flying down from 20,000 meters high, piercing through the evening wind, the thin clouds, the night!

Its trajectory was an exceptionally smooth parabola!

Its speed was increasing, but it didn’t catch fire!

From 20,000 meters high, it fell to within a thousand meters, meeting the skyscrapers of West State.

From within a thousand meters, it chased towards the overpass exit, pursuing the invisible school bus.

Swish...

The school bus had already left the overpass.

The driver’s smile grew even more crazed.

Whoosh!

Thud!

The branch pierced through the car roof’s metal sheeting!

Crack!

The branch shattered the mirror at the back of the driver’s head!

Thud!

The branch, with its last bit of momentum, pierced through the driver’s head!

The school bus’s accelerator was released!

The driver’s head slumped forward onto the steering wheel!

The front windshield of the school bus was splattered with a spurt of blood!

Crash...

The school bus lost control, veering into the flowerbed ahead, smashing through the greenery.

Boom!

Amidst the smashing sound, it knocked down two large trees, shattering the windshield.

Boom!

It hit and bent a third tree, finally exhausting its momentum and coming to a stop.

The sweet and bloody smell filled the cabin.

The children in the car, strapped in by seat belts, remained unconscious and asleep.

A few minutes later, amidst the piercing sirens, about a dozen vehicles surrounded the car accident site, and a large group of Immortal Technique Committee members rushed over urgently.

Bang!

The car door was violently smashed open, leading the group was Zhang Shan, wearing exoskeleton armor. His eyes swept through the vehicle and he immediately smiled as he pulled out his phone.

"Good news!

"The kids are all safe, the driver is dead!

"The kids are all safe!

"The kids are all safe!"

...

West State University.

Family District.

Night had already fallen.

On the roadside, not only the mothers but also the fathers of the children had arrived.

Some were crying, some were on the phone, some were silent.

On the bench, Bai Mo held Old Chen’s wife’s hand again, comforting her earnestly.

"Everything will be alright!"

Only Madam Feng, in the back, was alone, silently weeping, her shoulders shaking... even if something so serious happened to the child, Old Feng couldn’t come back!

At this moment, several members of the Immortal Technique Committee shouted excitedly.

"The kids are safe, safe!

"All are safe! All are safe!"

A moment of silence passed in the scene, followed by parents’ whimpering sobs.

"It’s good that they’re safe, it’s good that they’re safe."

"Wuwuwu..."

Not long after, vans drove into the family district, delivering the children back.

Old Chen carried his still unconscious son from the van, kissing him madly and shedding tears while kissing.

Bai Mo quietly stayed by, accompanying Old Chen and his wife.

Madam Feng brought back Feng En Di, and looking at his still sleeping face, tears poured down like a waterfall, flooding her face.

Leopard Head Shoulder stood beside, looking up at the little brother.

With its years of experience, the little brother had the scent of bewilderment drugs on him, no major harm, just knocked unconscious.

...

Car accident site.

Chairman Chen Shu stood in the cabin, looked at the dead driver slumped over the steering wheel, and stared at the branch piercing through the back of the driver’s head, speechless for a long time.

"This... didn’t I see it wrong, it’s... is it the branch of a phoenix tree?"

Experts nearby were also stunned.

"What kind of Immortal Grass is a phoenix tree?"

"Bullshit, it’s just the branches of phoenix trees from the roadside greenbelt!"

"Isn’t it impossible, this is an ordinary branch?"

"Not quite ordinary."

"Oh? What did you discover?"

"Look at this phoenix tree branch, it’s very straight! It’s a rather straight branch!"

Chairman Chen Shu glanced outside, looked at the school bus roof, thought for a moment, and roughly understood the cause and effect.

"The moment the school bus came down from the overpass, when the front was facing the flowerbed, our West State’s behind-the-scenes boss made a move.

"Used a branch to take out the driver."

The people present were all silent.

Although many among them had seen that person make a move, at this moment, they were still shocked!

After a long while, more cars arrived outside.

Journalists with long and short guns ran down from the cars.

"Chairman, the journalists are here, how should we arrange this?"

...

West Family District.

Bai Mo comforted Old Chen and sent their family back, then headed back to his own home with his disciple.

Pa!

He pressed the switch of the living room light and sank into the big sofa.

Pulled out his phone, only to see the matter had already been officially reported.

[The enemy has been successfully killed]

[All twenty-eight children safely rescued...]

The photos accompanied were of the school bus crashed into the flowerbed, with children calmly asleep.

Comments from netizens were below.

[I have pictures of the driver’s tragic death, it’s too graphic, can’t be shown on the platform, PM me if you want to see]

[Holy shit, seen it, is this for real? Can’t sleep tonight]

[Never dare to walk under trees again hahaha]

[If it were children from ordinary families, would they have been rescued this quickly?]

[Objectively speaking, with limited resources, children from ordinary families... probably not]

[Immortal Committee experts, hurry up and grade, so much safety!]

...

Amidst dark clouds, in the red palace faded by the years, adding desolation, turning into a muddy dark red.

Inside the palace, dressed in a short robe, short in stature, bald-headed, red-nosed Ancient Immortal looked at the disciple’s phone, eyes wide open.

"This... what the hell...

"This...

"Branch?

"A branch shot my disciple dead?"
