Chapter 42 The Beginning of the Turmoil
After leaving the camp, the long-term suppression of mental energy resulted in a rebound effect.
Lin Qiye naturally entered the 'Pool' realm.
He felt an abundance of power and thought to himself, "This time, I should be able to close the gap with that monster, Li Jie, a bit..."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hong Hao left the Peace Agency first.
According to him, he was going back to cooperate with Chief Instructor Yuan in investigating the 'truth' behind the missile attack.
Li Jie, who was standing to the side, remained silent. Although he knew there was a 'mole' in the training camp, he had no way of knowing which instructor it was. He decided to leave these questions to Chief Yuan.
They have more important things to do now, which is to eliminate the 'rats' that have entered Cangnan City.
After waking up, Lin Qiye rested for a while before sitting up and walking to the side of the team.
Although Lao Zhao and Hongying were trying to liven up the atmosphere, it wasn't hard to tell from their expressions.
During this period, they have been dealing with a constant stream of supernatural events, and everyone is feeling quite exhausted from the high-intensity work.
Not only has the number of mysterious figures increased, but there have also been quite a few mercenaries appearing.
Although Li Jie and his companion had left the training camp, Chen Muye did not intend to involve them in these events; at the very least, he would not actively arrange for them to handle these events.
Now that you're home, you should rest well. Leave the fighting to them.
Chen Muye forced a smile and said calmly.
"Now that you're awake, take a rest first. There's no rush to catch up."
..........
Meanwhile, in a cave on the outskirts of the city.
Several figures cloaked in black were plotting something.
Upon closer inspection, the entrance to the cave is covered with lush green vines.
A burly man standing below spoke in a hoarse voice.
"News came from the training camp that Yuan Gang had taken the new recruits away from the camp, and none of our people went with them."
Therefore, the whereabouts of those new recruits that Master 'Whisper' was concerned about are now unknown.
As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black beside him also made sarcastic remarks.
“What use are they? We might as well kill all those ‘piglets’ and have some peace and quiet.”
"Scorpion Three, use your stupid brain! Are you trying to ruin the plan that Master 'Whisper' set up a long time ago?"
"Scorpion One, don't try to intimidate me with 'Dreaming Masters.' Since they're no longer of any use, keeping them around will only cause trouble..."
"......"
"All right!"
The man at the head of the group wore a cloak, obscuring his face; only the trident spear beside him gleamed with a chilling light.
"Proceed as planned, the believers scattered to search for Li Jie and Lin Qiye."
"If we encounter Li Jie and we are not absolutely certain that we can defeat him, then we should call for backup at any time and strive to kill him with one blow."
"As for Lin Qiye... let the Snake Woman go. If she can win him over, great; if not..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man standing next to him, whose face was also covered by a cloak, said with amusement.
"If not, then kill them all!"
"Letting them grow up unchecked is the biggest threat to us!"
That's right, the people gathered in the cave were the followers of the Ancient God Church who came to 'hunt' Li Jie and Lin Qiye.
When the 'Three Gods' learned that Li Jie was not a representative of the gods, his 'lowly' status made them abandon the idea of winning him over. However, considering his terrifying destructive power, Li Jie naturally became their primary target for elimination.
"As for that chubby kid from the Baili family, we can get a good price for his head! If we have the time, we'll take care of him too..."
"Let's take action..."
...........
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.
When Baili Pangpang parted ways with them, he took out the Star Blade that the training camp had lent them and handed it to Li Jie. He also told him his room number and said that he could come visit when he had time.
After Si Xiaonan's examination, Lin Qiye was found to be in good health, so Chen Muye kicked the two of them out of the Peace Agency.
In his words, it meant letting them "get a good look around" during their holiday.
The two men knew perfectly well that the "take a good stroll" instruction was clearly a trap to lure them in...
When he brought Lin Qiye to the only five-star hotel in Cangnan City, the Kailanski Hotel.
The latter also vehemently criticized someone's inhuman extravagance.
"I've never stayed in such a nice hotel in my entire life..."
Lin Qiye carried a black box on his back and a lot of things in his hands. As Lao Zhao said, since he was visiting, he had to show his appreciation.
Looking at his envious expression, Li Jie felt a sense of helplessness.
Yes, the hotel is very nice, but it's far too conspicuous...
Isn't this just blatantly making myself a sitting duck?
They entered the hotel and went to the front desk. Just as Li Jie said Fatty's room number, a loud explosion came from outside.
The entire hotel shook slightly from the violent explosion. What they didn't notice was that the little white mouse lying next to the front desk rolled its eyes and then disappeared in a flash.
They've been dealing with explosives all day... Li Jie and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the door.
When they ran out of the building, the top floor of the hotel was already on fire, and figures seemed to appear in the flames.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed across the sky and then disappeared without a trace.
Without a second thought, Li Jie knew that the golden light was none other than the chubby forbidden object, Yao Guang. Without hesitation, he called to Lin Qiye and ran ahead towards the place where the golden light had disappeared.
As they left, bursts of explosions could still be heard intermittently from inside the presidential suite on the top floor.
Lin Qiye complained as he ran.
"Did the news spread so fast? They dared to make a move in broad daylight?"
He wasn't stupid; this was clearly a 'thunderous operation' targeting Baili Pangpang and his group.
The goal of hostile forces is to eliminate them swiftly and unexpectedly when they are least prepared.
However, they clearly underestimated Baili Pangpang's keen sense of assassination.
As the sole heir of the Baili Group, he has been the target of countless assassination attempts. How could such a petty scheme be kept from him?
However, causing such a commotion was completely unexpected for Fatty...
Li Jie didn't speak, but quickly moved through the streets.
When the two ran through several blocks and arrived at the spot where the golden light had disappeared, the eerie atmosphere around them gave them another ominous feeling.
It's too quiet...
Although it's not in the city center, it's not as remote as the old town either. There should be many people on the streets at this time of day.
As they rounded the corner and saw the triangular signpost in the middle of the road, their pupils constricted sharply.
No entry ahead!
[Boundless Airspace]!
When they left, Lao Zhao was still curled up on the sofa smoking and watching videos. Clearly, this set of "Boundless Airspace" was not the one used by Squad 136.
This means that night watch squads from other cities were involved in this incident.
After the explosion, they didn't think any other Night Watchmen would come to their aid.
At this point, there's only one answer...
These people are here to kill them!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with gold as he forcefully broke through a corner of the barrier.
After advancing to the 'Pool' realm, he was able to unleash even more powerful divine might. However, when he saw that the barrier cracks he had broken were still inferior to Li Jie's sword strike, he began to doubt himself.
He originally wanted to test how big the gap was between himself and Li Jie after he advanced to the 'Pool' realm, but he ended up being completely speechless.
What kind of monster is my brother Li...?
After the barrier shattered, Li Jie did not enter the [Boundless Void], but stood still waiting for something. Seeing this, Lin Qiye asked in surprise.
"Brother Li, aren't we going in?"
Li Jie nodded.
"Let's wait for one person to finish before we go in."
His words had barely faded when a blade of light struck them from an unexpected angle.
