Chapter 823: The Meteorites Are Here

Deep in the Mariana Trench.

A lamp slowly swam across the pitch-black seabed.

From time to time, some strange-looking creatures swam past.

Tang Hao looked around as he swam. Suddenly, he sensed something and sped up. Raking away the mud on the seabed, he found a pitch-black pot.

“Damn! There’s really one here! Which idiot threw it here?”

Tang Hao muttered.

He picked up the pot and swam upward.

Splash!

He rose to the sea surface and took a deep breath.

“Did you find it, President?”

On the boat next to him, Hierarch Baiyun shouted.

“I have it!”

Tang Hao showed him the pot in his hand.

After climbing onto the boat, the boat started to sail back to the port. Then, the group of people quickly took a plane to the north of Huaxia, crossed the border, and entered Siberia.

They found a ruler buried in a snowy mountain.

Then, they went to Europe.

They traveled around the world in search of treasures.

During that period, Tang Hao had been in constant contact with General Bai for any updates on any movement in the Qin Range.

That guy had not appeared ever since he escaped. There were also some unusual situations in other parts of Huaxia, but they did not cause too much damage.

To save time, Taoist Master Qian Ji and his men also looked for treasures in Huaxia.

The meteor shower was getting closer and closer. They did not have much time left.

All the Perfected Persons had gathered together, including the two in seclusion from Mao Mountain and one from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

They had heavy hearts.

For some people, it might be a fortuitous encounter, but for most of them, it was a disaster.

Moreover, it was an undeserved disaster.

What right did those people have to come from space and kill them? It was the height of injustice.

“True descendants? What nonsense! We’re the true descendants!”

“Let’s fight it out with them!”

Everyone was furious.

After collecting the seven treasures, Tang Hao returned to Kunlun and handed the items over to Tian Xuanzi.

“Great! We can create a powerful formation with these nine treasures. You can go home for now, kid. Bring everyone here when the time comes.”

Tian Xuanzi took the treasures and waved at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao returned to the Capital and had a chat with General Bai.

“There’s not much time left. The people from the Aerospace Department said that the meteorites will arrive in four to five days at most. Also, look at these. They’re photos taken not long ago.”

As he spoke, General Bai threw over a stack of photos.

“The Aerospace Department analyzed the meteorites. They look just like meteorites, but they’re artificial. The center is hollow.

“Also, the higher-ups have discussed it, and they’ve approved the use of nuclear weapons. With our current technology, we can blow up a few of them before they enter the atmosphere.”

As he spoke, General Bai’s expression turned grim.

Tang Hao frowned and shook his head. “It’s too risky. They don’t have any hostility towards ordinary people. If they take the initiative to attack, I’m afraid that they’ll cause trouble.”

“Well… sigh!”

General Bai slammed the table. “Are we just going to sit here and do nothing? They’re aliens. This is an invasion,” he said indignantly.

“Didn’t you say that they are very powerful? If we can’t stop them, what will happen to you and the Taoist masters?”

Tang Hao frowned.

He was also struggling internally. Using nuclear weapons was definitely the easier solution, but he dared not take the risk.

He could not risk the lives of more than a billion Huaxianese citizens!

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!”

Tang Hao said softly and patted General Bai’s shoulder. “You don’t have to worry about what happens next!”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the office.

Walking out of the Agency building, Tang Hao looked up at the blue sky. He was at a loss.

He did not know what would happen in the next four or five days.

He did not have a single clue.

After standing there for a while, he sighed and returned to Westridge.

It was evening when he arrived at Westridge. Tang Hao went to pick up Qin Xiangyi, bought a lot of food, and cooked a sumptuous meal.

“What’s wrong?”

While cooking, Qin Xiangyi walked over and hugged him from behind.

After spending so much time together, she could tell that he was acting strangely today.

Tang Hao turned off the stove, turned around, and gently hugged her.

The two of them hugged each other without saying a word.

“If I say that I’ve put your life in mortal danger, will you blame me?” Tang Hao said softly.

She was stunned for a moment, then she smiled gently.

“No! Why would I blame you? I will never, never, ever blame you!” As she said that, she raised her head and fixed a gentle and affectionate gaze on Tang Hao.

Tang Hao felt warmth in his heart, and he hugged her tightly.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Four days was too short. They only had time to make a trip to Tang Village, Dragonrock Village, and Greenwillow village. Tang Hao also made a trip to Haotian Plaza.

Tang Hao did not tell Assistant Han or anyone else about that matter.

That morning, the two of them woke up as usual. They brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and had breakfast together.

“Why are you looking at me?”

While they were eating, she suddenly kicked Tang Hao and said coyly.

“You look good!” Tang Hao said.

His gaze was firmly transfixed on Qin Xiangyi’s face, as though he wanted to imprint her face in his mind.

“Tsk!” She pouted.

After eating, the two of them washed the dishes and put them away neatly.

Before leaving, she walked around the mansion. She was reluctant to leave.

“There are so many memories of us here.

“I hope that everything will turn out fine. We might have a chance to come back and continue living together! We could’ve gotten married soon, but why… why now?”

She finally could not hold it in anymore and started sobbing.

Then, she threw herself into Tang Hao’s arms and burst into tears.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!” Tang Hao patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.

After a long while, she stopped sobbing and looked up. She was smiling despite the tears.

“Mm!” She nodded.

“Let’s go!”

He took her hand and walked out of the mansion.

Outside, there were already military vehicles waiting for them.

When they rushed to Kunlun, they saw that the Taoist masters and the Perfected Persons of Kongtong and Hua Mountain were already there.

They were shocked when they saw Qin Xiangyi.

Then, they came up to her and greeted her warmly before introducing themselves.

The night gradually got darker.

Close to dawn, rays of light appeared in the dark sky. They were meteorites burning as they entered the atmosphere, and they emitted a brilliance that illuminated the sky.

“They’re here!”

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain, Tian Xuanzi looked at the sky with a solemn expression.

The meteors streaked across the sky and fell to the ground.
