88: Are there really people this stupid?

"guardian crystal?"

"Yeah, the Martial God Scroll was created by a Ninth Realm Martial Artist, and it was only a rough draft... The martial Dao aura contained within is far too intense!

Ordinary Martial Artists simply cannot withstand the scouring of that martial Dao will!

If one keeps studying it, failing to understand it is actually a good thing; once immersed, at best, one's mind might be damaged, and at worst, one will become an idiot...

A guardian crystal is just a protective mechanism created by a powerful expert," Jiang Fei explained.

Chu Yuan asked in confusion: "A powerful expert? Wasn't it made by the original creator?"

"That person hadn't even perfected the Cultivation Technique, and didn't intend to pass on the Legacy yet... Where would they find the time to make you a guardian crystal?" Jiang Fei said helplessly.

"Then where is the guardian crystal? Where is it now?"

"It's on Liu Yan..."

Chu Yuan was speechless: "It was stolen too? That's not right. Then why are they only starting to run away now?"

Jiang Fei seemed a bit guilty and said in a low voice: "That's not it. I placed it on Liu Yan in advance... to save her life at a critical moment;

They probably didn't discover it, or didn't recognize it.

She doesn't know the dangers of the Martial Artist world, especially the dangers brought by something of this level."

"..." Chu Yuan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Your bloodline is truly pure..."

"..." Jiang Fei didn't speak either. This time, he had truly let down Chu Yuan and the Zhenwu Bureau;

But the grave mistake had already been made, and he still had to consider what came next.

"The Zhenwu Bureau is also... they actually easily cleared Liu Yan of suspicion."

Jiang Fei smiled bitterly: "Can you imagine a Fourth Realm Martial Artist being ambushed by an ordinary person?"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said strangely: "Before you, I really couldn't... So, you're saying the probability of an ordinary person killing a Fourth Realm Martial Artist single-handedly isn't absolutely zero?"

"...Here they come."

The two watched the car below rush out of the city gate and arrive nearby;

Chu Yuan retracted the Niyuan Qianshen Technique and activated the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art.

The ink shadow at his waist unsheathed, silently merging into the night, striking like the top-tier assassin without a sound!

Only a faint rustling sound was heard, and the speeding vehicle instantly disintegrated!

The two people sitting inside were thrown out and rolled a long way on the ground...

Pan Ce reacted quickly and immediately got up to look around;

But when he saw the two figures standing in the Void Realm, his face instantly turned pale!

Two Yukong Realm experts!? It's over...

"Brother Fei! Save me!" Liu Yan scrambled up from the ground, terrified. Discovering that she was completely unharmed, she shouted in surprise and relief.

Jiang Fei descended and arrived in front of Pan Ce. With a flick of his finger, several beams of energy shot out, piercing through his limbs;

Pan Ce screamed miserably, but the next moment a blade tip was pressed against his brow, and he quickly shut up.

"Where is the item?" Jiang Fei asked;

"It's in..." Before Pan Ce could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a booklet fly out of his own chest on its own and land in the hands of the young man behind Jiang Fei.

After getting the Martial God Scroll in hand, Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief;

He then stepped forward, crossed his arms, and asked: "Who directed this?"

Not to mention why a Third Realm Martial Artist would have the nerve to do this, more importantly... where did he get the information from?

The news of Jiang Fei escorting the Martial God Scroll wasn't top secret, but except for relevant personnel, very few people should have known about it;

Even he and Qi Da only knew about it after the fact...

Pan Ce, a mere small-time Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist, couldn't possibly be so well-informed!

Someone must have instructed him to do this!

It's just unclear which side it was...

"Don't... don't kill me!" Pan Ce endured the excruciating pain and said: "I don't know who it is either..."

"...Jiang Fei, he's playing you, right?"

"..." Jiang Fei was silent for a moment, then said: "Wait for me a moment."

He immediately dragged Pan Ce's leg and walked to the side;

Regarding enemies, the Zhenwu Bureau has plenty of ways to make them talk. Jiang Fei's professional skills were on point, and he was very proficient at 'persuading' others to talk...

Inhuman screams soon came, making one's heart creep.

Liu Yan had approached Chu Yuan at some point and asked cautiously: "Are you Brother Fei's friend?"

Chu Yuan sized her up twice. Under the heavy makeup, she appeared delicate;

But compared to Chen Yun, she was far inferior. He couldn't understand why Jiang Fei was cold and indifferent to Chen Yun, treating her only as a normal comrade-in-arms... yet was willing to be a simp for such a stupid woman?

Could it really be that all Geniuses have unknown quirks?

"Yeah." Chu Yuan responded casually. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the pendant on Liu Yan's chest flew up and landed in his hand;

Is this the guardian crystal of the Martial God Scroll?

"Hey? What are you doing!! Give it back to me!" Liu Yan, caught off guard, said in shock and anger.

"Give it back to you? Is this your item?"

"How is it not? This is my pendant! How can you rob people of their things!?" Liu Yan was furious. She had clearly perceived the miraculous nature of this pendant just now; it was a precious treasure!

Even if she didn't use it, selling it... would net her a huge sum of money!

Chu Yuan almost laughed in anger. So there really are people who can be this stupid? Stupid to the point of being speechless, making one not want to bother with them...

Seeing that Chu Yuan was indifferent, Liu Yan actually reached out to snatch it;

But Chu Yuan was not Jiang Fei, so naturally he wouldn't indulge her. He casually placed the ink shadow across her fair neck: "Shut up, don't move! Otherwise... I'll slaughter you."

"You... you dare!? Brother Fei won't let you go!"

"Jiang Fei can't control me, he can barely save himself... Don't you know what you've done yourself?"

"Isn't it just letting him sleep in a freezer for a few days and borrowing some things from him... Haven't you already gotten it back?" Feeling the coldness of the sword edge, Liu Yan didn't dare to move, but still said righteously;

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and was truly amazed;

He knew where the part that felt wrong all along was.

When the incident was exposed, Pan Ce was scared to death, yet Liu Yan, an ordinary person, displayed strong psychological fortitude...

It turned out it wasn't because she had strong psychological fortitude, but because she genuinely believed that this matter could pass so easily!?

She poisoned him... anyway, he didn't die from the poison;

She stole the Martial God Scroll... hasn't it been returned to its original owner now?

Chu Yuan couldn't help asking: "Do you know Jiang Fei's identity?"

"I know, a Martial Artist..."

"Besides being a Martial Artist?"

"What other identity does he have?"

"Never mind..." She doesn't know Jiang Fei is from the Zhenwu Bureau? Chu Yuan was thoughtful...

The screams in the distance gradually subsided, and Jiang Fei walked over while wiping the blood on his hands with a tissue;

He seemed not to see the long sword on Liu Yan's neck and nodded to Chu Yuan: "Finished asking, not much gain;

Pan Ce was lured by profit, and the person behind the scenes hid their identity.

But it probably isn't an alien race...

When Pan Ce fled, he notified the other party to trade, and the location is on a small hill ten kilometers outside Qiyang City.

The time is... half an hour later"
