90: Liu Yan is still operating

Chu Yuan returned to Qiyang City, dragging the distraught Liu Yan along, but for a moment, he actually didn't know where to go.

He could only find a random park to sit and wait for news from Jiang Fei, while taking the opportunity to study the Martial God Scroll.

Liu Yan watched as Chu Yuan held her precious pendant in his hand, but she didn't dare to step forward and ask for it back.

She had truly been terrified by what happened earlier...

But why did this murderer still act like nothing had happened? He even dared to return to Qiyang City?

Was he not afraid at all?

"I... I need to go to the bathroom!"

Chu Yuan glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to study the Martial God Scroll on his own.

The material carrying this Cultivation Technique was naturally not ordinary paper; Chu Yuan rubbed it and it seemed to be the skin of some creature.

It was incredibly tough; he tried to tear it with a little force, but the page didn't deform in the slightest.

At the very beginning, a massive 'Martial' character caught his eye.

Boom~!

It felt as if an explosion had gone off in his mind!

Chu Yuan felt an unstoppable, indomitable Aura rush straight into his mind! It was filled with a vast and magnificent atmosphere!

Illusions seemed to appear before his eyes, as if he were in a cold, lonely dark Void Realm, with a fist like a star smashing towards him!

Facing that will to destroy everything, shatter everything, and break everything, he subconsciously wanted to dodge;

only to find that he couldn't move a single part of his body, and could only watch helplessly as that fist smashed over...

Just then, a cool sensation surged into his mind;

In an instant, all the grand scenes disappeared, leaving only a trace of vast charm... He looked down, and the guardian crystal in his hand was emitting a faint glow...

Chu Yuan frowned. Even with the boost from his Divine Sense, he had actually been instantly trapped within that Martial Dao will?

If not for the guardian crystal, no low-level Martial Artist would truly be able to Cultivate this thing...

But the next moment, a burning sensation rose in his heart;

Such a powerful Cultivation Technique, no wonder it could incite those Martial Arts Families to scramble for it!

If he could master the basics and convert it into a Cultivation Technique for immortals... how strong would it be!?

Jiang Fei had previously told him that the only difference between a good Cultivation Technique and an average one was the speed of absorbing energy;

That was total nonsense.

What would a mere Fourth Realm Martial Artist know?

While looking down on Jiang Fei, Chu Yuan turned to the next page...

Liu Yan watched Chu Yuan trembling as he stared blankly at the book. Only when she was sure he really didn't want to bother with her did she shuffle her feet toward the bathroom;

She moved very slowly, afraid of causing any misunderstanding with Chu Yuan.

Only after hiding in the bathroom, where she couldn't see Chu Yuan, did she barely regain a sense of security;

She quickly raised her terminal and dialed a number: "Is this the Public Security Bureau!? I want to report a crime!

I've been kidnapped by a murderer! He killed my boyfriend..."

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes! My boyfriend's body is still outside the city!"

"...He's at Taoyuan Park right now!"

"Yes, yes! He is a Martial Artist!"

"Strength? I don't know, but he looks like he's only eighteen or nineteen..." Liu Yan had forgotten how Jiang Fei and Chu Yuan had appeared, only remembering that they... appeared suddenly?

"Hurry up! I'm afraid he'll kill me..."

After quickly finishing her surreptitious call, Liu Yan went out and found that Chu Yuan was still staring blankly at the book;

He probably hadn't noticed her actions... She felt a little more at ease again, and at the same time began to wait silently.

Time passed in agony. She didn't know how long it had been, but flashing police lights appeared as two Public Security Bureau vehicles rushed over;

Capable, burly men jumped out of the vehicles and immediately locked onto Chu Yuan!

"Don't move!" Two of them drew their blades and pointed them at Chu Yuan, while several other officers nearby held standard-issue pistols to heighten the atmosphere;

"Miss, did you report the crime?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It was me!" Liu Yan finally relaxed;

"It's okay, it's okay, come to my side... He killed your boyfriend?"

"Yes! Hurry up and arrest this murderer!" Liu Yan paused, then, as if possessed, added: "He also robbed me of my things!

Specifically that book and that pendant!"

Chu Yuan actually didn't know that Liu Yan had reported the crime; he didn't have the habit of peeking at others in the bathroom;

But facing this scene, he didn't really think much of it.

If it were before, like the time he was framed for killing Li Chen, he might have needed someone to bail him out;

But now... Chu Yuan had to admit that the Zhenwu Bureau was indeed very thoughtful.

He put away the Martial God Scroll and tossed the zhenwu token over;

"This has nothing to do with you."

There was no news from Jiang Fei yet, and it was a bit inappropriate to contact the Qiyang City Zhenwu Bureau right now;

But to deal with the Public Security Bureau... the zhenwu token was enough!

An older officer, who was clearly a Martial Artist, felt a flicker of anger; he hadn't seen such a lawless criminal in a long time.

He stepped forward, about to reprimand him;

But he heard his old partner exclaim in surprise: "The Zhenwu Bureau!?"

He was shocked, quickly stopped his actions, and took two steps away from Liu Yan;

Although both were said to be maintaining internal stability, the matters handled by the Zhenwu Bureau were never something the Public Security Bureau could interfere with... or rather, they avoided them whenever possible!

There had been such cases in the past, where the strength of the violent Martial Artist was misjudged, leading to the sacrifice of many officers during the arrest...

After all, although the Public Security Bureau had Martial Artists, they weren't strong enough;

Slightly stronger Martial Artists had plenty of places to go, whether it was the Zhenwu Bureau or the Outer Heaven Battlefield;

Even if they were afraid of danger, being a freelance Martial Artist and opening a school... was better than just drifting along in the Public Security Bureau...

Therefore, people targeted by the Zhenwu Bureau were very dangerous to them. This girl looked harmless, but who knew if she was a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Chu Yuan nodded, accepting this tacitly;

The older officer leading the team looked respectful: "Apologies, I hope we haven't caused you any trouble... Withdraw!"

"It's fine, you were just doing your duty." Chu Yuan didn't mind and watched them leave quietly;

If it were some other humanoid creature, they might have intentionally let themselves be taken away, only to encounter all sorts of stereotypical, bizarre, inexplicable targeting and humiliation at the Public Security Bureau;

Perhaps there might even be some young guy who fell in love with Liu Yan at first sight and would torture him to please her;

And then, at the last moment, he would reveal his identity, causing the entire Public Security Bureau to be terrified... putting on a grand show of dominance.

But Chu Yuan wasn't that bored; for him, this was just an insignificant little interlude;

It's just that... Liu Yan clearly couldn't be as calm as Chu Yuan.

At this moment, she felt like the sky was falling...

"No! You can't leave... You are shielding him! Colluding!

I will... I will report you!"

She cried out in despair, as if performing a one-person play;

The 'audience' avoided her like a snake or scorpion, and one after another, they quickened their pace to leave...

Chu Yuan looked down at his terminal; Jiang Fei had sent a message;

"I didn't hold back, accidentally killed him... They said it was the Li Family of Yunan Prefecture, but I think it should be a frame-up..."
