Chapter 3936: Chapter 3936: Identity Speculation (Seven Updates)
A flash of thunder light illuminated a silhouette standing on the bow of the ship. The young man screamed in horror, his eyes trembling violently as he frantically moved his body backward.
It was as if the figure standing before him in the pouring rain wasn’t human, but a demon!
Ye Chen stepped forward in the rain, his foot treading on the young man with a broken arm who was desperately trying to move away from him.
The young man looked up at Ye Chen looming over him, feeling as if his Dao heart was about to shatter. He struggled like a pinned worm, incoherently pleading with Ye Chen for mercy!
Ye Chen expressionlessly waved his hand, unleashing powerful Dao Integration energy, which transformed into two large hands. These hands retrieved the two martial artists he had previously knocked into the sea, pulling out a gleaming jade talisman from one of their storage bags. From the jade talisman came a questioning voice: "Calling Eagle Team Thirteen, you just sent contact information to headquarters. What happened? Why does your Communication Jade Token no longer have a signal?"
Ye Chen raised a finger to his lips, smiling at the young man, indicating for him to be quiet.
The young man glanced at the jade talisman with trembling eyes, and tightly shut his mouth.
Ye Chen leaned down, whispering in his ear, "You know how to respond, right?"
Shaking violently at Ye Chen’s words, the young man nodded vigorously like a frightened child.
Ye Chen placed the jade talisman beside his face, his powerful divine soul watching the young man’s every move.
The young man clenched his teeth, injecting his divine soul into the jade talisman, and spoke: "Eagle Team Thirteen reporting to headquarters, all is well. Earlier, a martial artist refused to cooperate with a search but has been subdued by us. However, my jade talisman was accidentally damaged. After verification, the person was not who we were pursuing..."
The voice from the jade talisman responded again: "Acknowledged."
The light of the jade talisman dimmed, and tears streamed from the young man’s eyes once more. Despite his professional training, which should prevent betraying the Law Enforcement Hall under any circumstance, his fear of Ye Chen reduced all his training to nothingness!
Now, he only wanted to survive and dared not defy Ye Chen in any way!
Ye Chen put away the jade talisman, saying calmly, "Alright, you can have a rest now."
With that, he lifted his foot toward the young man’s head. The young man opened his eyes wide, screaming, "No! I’ve done what you asked! Spare me! Please spare me!"
With a dull crash, powerful Destruction Dao Rhythm surged into the young man’s mind. His eyes bulged, then slowly closed as he passed out.
Ye Chen sighed softly, knowing the young man was only fulfilling his duties, so he didn’t deal him a fatal blow. Although Ye Chen had killed many, he maintained his principles.
The young man’s mind was injured and would not awaken for months.
Ye Chen placed the three in the storage warehouse in the lower deck of the Spiritual Ship, then donned the Thousand Illusion Jade Mask. With the mask’s shimmering light, he transformed into the likeness of the young man, returning to the bow and navigating the Spiritual Ship towards the Central Sea Region.
What’s that saying?
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
...
Lin Jianqing stood on the bow, slightly frowning yet with a hint of excitement in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had received a challenge. Chenyue Sea had been peaceful for too long, which while good, was a little too dull for Lin Jianqing.
He murmured, "Don’t let yourself be caught so easily. Otherwise, I’d be disappointed."
At that moment, a martial artist approached Lin Jianqing and reported, "Sir, teams stationed by the Law Enforcement Hall have thoroughly searched each area and haven’t found any suspicious person aboard a lower-tier wooden boat."
Lin Jianqing’s lips curled into a smile, asking, "Have any Immortal Islands reported finding suspicious individuals?"
The martial artist shook his head, saying, "No, even the deserted islands have been searched, and no suspicious person has been found. The only unusual occurrence is on one deserted island where a woman in a veiled dress was found unconscious, trapped on the island, with a seal placed on her..."
"Oh?" Lin Jianqing showed some interest, asking, "Who is she?"
The martial artist replied, "According to our investigation, she is Xu Hui, the Island Master of Baixiang Island who traveled with the impersonator of Jidu Divine Sovereign on the Spiritual Ship."
Lin Jianqing stroked his chin thoughtfully, "He didn’t kill this woman? It seems the criminal this time is quite intriguing. Even I’m curious about the bold fellow’s true purpose in risking entering Chenyue Sea."
The martial artist asked, "Sir, what should our next move be?"
Lin Jianqing pondered for a moment, "In the Law Enforcement Hall, has anyone’s Life Fire been extinguished?"
The martial artist hesitated, then contacted the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Hall, responding, "Sir, no one has."
Lin Jianqing’s eyes glinted, "This person managed to defeat Jidu Divine Sovereign, so his strength should surpass Qiankun Realm. Such an opponent likely wouldn’t be challenged by our lower-level martial artists, unless they wield the Guan Yuan Green Lamp which can discern the true level of cultivation. If someone above Qiankun Realm was found, they should be extremely cautious and send out information promptly...
Could it be that this person has already infiltrated the Immortal Islands? According to reports from the Guiding Land, he disguised his cultivation level upon entering, meaning that although he can mimic others’ appearances, he cannot change his cultivation aura. If so, unless he mimics someone of the same level, he should be easily exposed...
Still, defeating someone of the same level without drawing attention would not be easy..."
Lin Jianqing’s mind raced before suddenly brightening, asking the martial artist beside him, "Did Xu Hui from Baixiang Island say how the impersonator of Jidu Divine Sovereign defeated her?"
The martial artist paused, then consulted a jade talisman before answering, "The woman said the opponent used a Heaven Transformation Pill in wine before rendering her unconscious."
"Heaven Transformation Pill?" Lin Jianqing mused, "It seems our visitor is quite formidable, to be able to produce such a pill? Even if beyond Qiankun Realm, his strength shouldn’t be much higher, otherwise, why trouble himself in such elaborate schemes against a middle-stage Qiankun Realm opponent?
Furthermore, his cultivation level likely differs from Jidu Divine Sovereign...
Could this person be a late-stage Qiankun Realm expert?"
However, if he were a late-stage Qiankun Realm figure, he should have immediately drawn the Law Enforcement Team’s attention?
Could it be...
