Chapter 128 Wanted Across the Entire Internet! Net Worth Soars by 50 Billion

Three days later.

An explosive piece of news, like a nuclear bomb, instantly detonated across the global martial arts world and the dark web.

"Shocking! A mysterious powerhouse single-handedly destroyed a branch of the Tianli Research Institute!"

"The most ruthless bandit in history? Didn't even leave the terrorists a toilet!"

"Tianli Research Institute issues a global kill order, bounty amount breaks through the sky!"

Great Xia, Imperial Capital.

A secret conference room hidden deep underground.

"Bang!"

An expensive crystal glass was smashed fiercely onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

Sitting at the head of the table was a man wearing a golden mask; although his voice had been processed, one could still hear the rage suppressed to the extreme.

"Are you telling me that the entire Red Rock Canyon branch was not only flattened, but the equipment, resources, and even the alloy wall panels inside were all stripped away?"

The man in black below knelt on the ground, shivering: "Ye... yes, my lord. The scene... is very clean. Except for the ruins, nothing is left. Even test subject 002 is... is gone."

"Did test subject 002 die?"

"No... according to the traces left at the scene, it... it may have been taken away. And... and..." the man in black stammered.

"And what!"

"And we found a line of text at the scene, written in... in spray paint on the ruins."

The golden-masked man took a deep breath: "What was written?"

The man in black tremblingly held up a photo. In the photo, a line of highly mocking, crooked characters was spray-painted on the charred wall:

"The renovation was too noisy, so I confiscated the tools. P.S. That dog is not bad, I'm taking it back to guard the door. — Signed, Jiang."

"This is too much! It's too much!!!"

A terrifying Aura erupted from the golden-masked man, and the entire conference table instantly turned into powder. "Jiang Chen! I will tear you into a thousand pieces! I will rip out your Soul and light it up like a sky lantern!"

"Pass down the order! Initiate the S-rank global kill order!"

"Dead or alive, whoever can bring me Jiang Chen's head will get a bounty of 50 billion! Plus a Divine-Grade weapon!"

"Notify the 'Arbiter' squad and have them deploy. Since conventional methods can't kill him, let the professionals handle it!"

...

Meanwhile, ten thousand meters above the sky.

A luxurious private jet was flying through the clouds.

This was a private plane that Su Qingyue had urgently mobilized using her "money power," and it was headed straight for the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

Inside the cabin, a luxurious large bed occupied two-thirds of the space.

This bed had now been modified by Jiang Chen beyond recognition—under the mattress were titanium alloy plates pried from the institute, the headboard was embedded with that cool-emitting "Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Soul," and it was surrounded by all sorts of messy high-tech parts.

Jiang Chen was currently lying on the bed in a spread-eagled position, looking extremely comfortable.

On the left was Su Qingyue, who was closing her eyes to Cultivate (acting as a hand warmer), on the right was Mu Qingxue, who was absorbing the cold air from the Ice Soul (acting as an air conditioner), and his head was resting on Iliya's fluffy tail.

Is this a flight? This is nothing less than imperial enjoyment.

"Young Master, look." Su Qingyue held a tablet, amusedly nudging Jiang Chen. "You're on the headlines again. The Tianli Research Institute is offering 50 billion for your life."

"Only 50 billion?" Jiang Chen didn't even open his eyes, curling his lip in disdain. "Who are they looking down on? The sleeping positions stored in this head of mine are worth more than 50 billion. What a bunch of paupers."

"Right now, assassins from all over the world are looking for us." Although Mu Qingxue's tone was flat, there was a hint of worry between her brows. "Especially that mysterious 'Arbiter' squad; it is said they have never missed a target."

"Let them come." Jiang Chen rolled over, finding a more comfortable position to rub against Iliya's tail. "As long as they don't mind becoming guard dogs like test subject 002."

Speaking of test subject 002, that biochemical beast, now shrunk countless times to the size of a husky, was lying in the corner of the cabin, sadly gnawing on a rare metal bone.

"However..." Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and pulled a sheepskin scroll from his embrace.

This was found in the safe of the golden-masked supervisor at the institute.

The scroll was made of ancient material and depicted a complex map, with the destination pointing to that mysterious forbidden zone in the west of Great Xia—the Kunlun Ancient Void.

"The location marked on this map seems to overlap with the clues about the 'Physical Body Seal location' that the Empress mentioned to me before," Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

The System also popped up at the right moment:

【Triggered Main Quest: Secret of Kunlun.】

【Quest Description: Follow the map's guidance to the Kunlun Ancient Void and search for clues regarding the origin of the Nightmare Divine Body.】

【Reward: Unlock new System feature "Dual Dream Mode," and one "Divine-Grade Pillow" crafting blueprint.】

"Dual Dream Mode?" Jiang Chen's gaze became somewhat strange, and he subconsciously glanced at the three stunning beauties beside him. How come this System feels increasingly indecent?

However, "Divine-Grade Pillow" sounds very tempting.

"Decided." Jiang Chen slapped the map onto the headboard. "We'll return to the Imperial Capital to rest for two days, fence the loot... ahem, liquidate the assets. Then, we go to Kunlun!"

"What are we going to Kunlun for?" Su Qingyue asked curiously.

Jiang Chen yawned, closed his eyes again, his voice growing lower:

"I heard the snow mountains over there... are very quiet, suitable for sleeping..."

Less than three seconds after he finished speaking, the sound of steady breathing could be heard.

The three women looked at each other, feeling both helpless and amused.

At this tense moment when they were wanted nationwide and enemies with the whole world, perhaps only this man could sleep so heartlessly.

However, they did not know that in that seemingly peaceful dream, a stunningly beautiful Empress sitting on a throne was slowly opening her eyes, looking through Jiang Chen's consciousness towards the direction of Kunlun.

"Finally... is it time?"
