Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 172: Getting Serious


This remark was full of threats; if the attacker were really standing in front of him, he might kill him in anger.

"Let's not discuss these issues now," the City Lord said, anxiously rubbing his temples.

"The main issue is... Jian Lei's involvement with the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade."

"It's not just that he cultivates the electromagnetic attribute, he also understands how to deduce cultivation methods. The most critical thing is, he has an attributeless constitution."

"I'm really troubled about how to characterize this guy... By the way, he's already B-level."

Jamaari replied with a dark face, "I also know he's B-level, a very young B-level."

Herrit's face turned even darker—damn, you should have told me earlier.

Jamaari didn't care about his feelings at all, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "Let the Gorge characterize him."

He genuinely wanted to protect Jian Lei, but as the Inspector, he was also clear that the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade had offended the Gorge too severely.

No one can guarantee whether the Gorge would vent its anger on Jian Lei for this.

However, it would take some time to inform the Gorge, and they would have to wait for the feedback.

Jian Lei, Jian Lei, what I can do for you... is only this much.

"Hmm, let's decide like this," the City Lord nodded, agreeing with Jamaari since the head of the Inspection Bureau was in retreat.

"But don't think about delaying; I've already notified the Celestial Room and Profound Character Room to rush over, and the Earth Room must participate as well."

Jamaari replied with a dark face, "The Earth Room also needs to expedite the investigation of the Celestial District."

As he spoke, he gave Herrit a vicious glare.

The City Lord lightly coughed, casually indicating, "I'm not discussing this with you; it's an order."

Jamaari contested with a dark face, "If Jian Lei disappears from now on, only Terry knows electromagnetic attribute cultivation!"

The City Lord turned to Herrit, calmly saying, "I'll give you a chance to speak the truth, are they still alive?"

"That's really uncertain," Herrit perspired quickly, "When disengaging from combat, the two on the opposite side should have still been alive."

"My people initially intended to negotiate well, especially after recognizing the electromagnetic attribute, but the opponent struck too ruthlessly..."

Jamaari secretly nodded; indeed, that's how it was, Terry was indeed ruthless in his actions.

However, to say the Douglas Family intended to "negotiate well"... Heh, is that possible?

The City Lord made arrangements, "Have your people go to the Earth Room and surrender; Jamaari, you focus on handling matters in the Celestial District."

Jamaari lightly coughed, "Actually, I'm doing this to avoid suspicion... Jian Lei was very mindful of that back then."

"You don't need to speak in his favor," the City Lord saw through his intentions, "His fate needs to be decided by the Gorge."

Due to this delay, the elites of the Celestial Room and Profound Character Room hurried but still lost track of Jian Lei and Clear Wind Shadowless Blade.

They finally tracked to the place where Qu Jianlei dug a pit, and also found the underground stone slab.

They already knew Jian Lei was adept at setting traps, but after carefully opening the stone slab, everyone was astonished.

There were no traps as imagined, only some firearms and ammunition.

"They actually had time to bury these scraps. Are they so confident in their escape?"

"Who can say for sure? I don't know much about Jian Lei, but Clear Wind Shadowless Blade's vigilance is definitely high."

Then someone made a guess, "Could there be motorcycles hidden here, and they switched rides for a getaway?"

A few years ago, when capturing the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade, the Inspection Bureau also deployed some personnel, who were aware of the guy's habits.

Then someone refuted, "Switch rides... Then what about Jian Lei's off-road vehicle?"

"Could it be... that the two of them parted ways?" Someone raised a new guess.

The unexpected appearance of the Space Ring brought some confusion to the inspections.

Two days later, they had to face another reality: those two suspects... were lost!

That's right, now Qu Jianlei's nature had been defined by the Gorge, as a suspect!

The Gorge even made it clear: strive to capture him alive, if not possible... he can be killed!

Another day passed, and people from the Gorge personally arrived, with two A-levels leading seven or eight B-levels.

However, in the end, they came too late, unable to find any clues.

The people from the Gorge were noticeably disappointed, because they knew how cunning the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade was.

If they could hold onto this guy's tail, it would be fine; if not, then it's really difficult to manage.

They spent five days conducting a comprehensive sweep in the Central City.

Over forty wanted criminals were captured in this sweep, but there was still no trace of Jian Lei and Clear Wind Shadowless Blade.

Once it was found to be useless, the people from the Gorge usually would leave.

However, this time was different, the Gorge left behind two people, one A-level and one B-level, showing a stance of waiting indefinitely.

Ma Long couldn't help but secretly whisper to Xiao Qin, "Isn't it over yet? The Gorge never shows up; are they trying to break the rules?"

Xiao Qin remained solemn, "Didn't you notice? Last time when capturing Clear Wind Shadowless Blade, the Gorge didn't present such a big array?"

Ma Long had also experienced the previous incident, upon hearing, he nodded and then was stunned.

"You mean to say, this time the big array... is actually mainly aimed at Jian Lei?"

"Exactly," Xiao Qin nodded expressionlessly; at this moment, her mood was truly complex.

To say she had a particularly good impression of Jian Lei, not really... the guy hardly interacted with people.

But she knew how remarkably talented this young man was, and she personally brought him to Central City.

There's a bit of kinship here, "Did Jian Lei attract or offend them?"
