Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"Mr. Han! What brings you here?"

"I followed the spatial fluctuations here." Han Ting was still somewhat shaken; his beard trembled slightly. "Are you alright?"

"It's alright... It's fortunate that you acted in time." Chu Yuan was also still shaken. What would have happened if that insect egg had actually formed in his mind?

They will become like Zhao Mingren, a puppet of the Nightmare Insect Clan;

Or perhaps... a leather case?

However, given the nature of his divine consciousness, it wouldn't be so easy for the Nightmare Insect Clan to control him;

Moreover, he also possessed a military tally given to him by Wei Huang...

"Damn it! I sensed someone opening a spatial rift on Qin territory and rushed over immediately... but I was still a bit too late." Han Ting cursed, "Only you were brave enough to come, otherwise that bastard Wei Huang would have fought me to the death!"

After a pause, he asked, "What's going on? Shouldn't you be participating in the Jianmu Project?"

How did I end up here, and get targeted by these dead bugs?

"Um... I have a friend..." Chu Yuan explained briefly;

Han Ting didn't comment on the matter, but just clicked his tongue and said, "So, you're saying this was all directed at you?"

"It looks a bit like..." Chu Yuan was actually quite puzzled as well;

Did the Nightmare Insects expose a stronghold just to assassinate me?

It should be understood that within the Qin territory, although the region appears loose, it is not easy for foreign tribes to establish strongholds.

For example, right now, someone just opened a spatial rift, and Han Ting immediately noticed and attacked...

Another problem is the difficulty of disguising oneself, especially for someone like the captain of the Zhenwu Bureau, who is very likely to encounter a powerful person and be exposed.

Comparatively speaking, it is easier to infiltrate rebel organizations like the Day of Revenge;

Generally speaking, these lurking figures aim to cause significant losses to the Qin Dynasty or to gain personal benefits.

What good would it do to assassinate yourself?

Han Ting was also puzzled, because assassinating geniuses was not common in Qin.

Unless we can wipe out a huge group at once like in Secret Realm 7, which is incredibly cost-effective! It's practically inhuman not to cause some trouble...

First, not all foreign tribes were hostile to the Qin Dynasty; otherwise, the Qin Dynasty would have been gone long ago.

In reality, the battles in the outer space are governed by the absolute law of the jungle! Although there are many alien races that are hostile to the Great Qin because they covet Earth... some of these alien races already have mutual hatred.

And there's only one Earth, so to whom does it belong?

Secondly, the "geniuses" of the Great Qin are really disappointing. Among those rising stars, very few have even advanced to the eighth realm.

In market terms: they can't even cover their costs...

Third, from the perspective of the foreign races, even if a genius from Great Qin does grow up, when it comes to settling scores, it won't be me who gets settled. Why should I contribute manpower and effort and still incur Great Qin's hatred? You can just sit back and reap the benefits.

(Just like in that shovel game, you guys don't have card blocking, so why should I sacrifice my economic rhythm to block other people's cards?)

Anyway, it's not like Lao Ba is only targeting me when he gets a three-star, five-cost unit...

"Mr. Han, I've received a video..." The man in military uniform flew over to report after the two finished their conversation.

As for the two people who were affected by the mental torrent and lost their minds, attempting to attack Chu Yuan, they had already fainted after Han Ting made his move.

The video was received by the Sky-Soaring Realm martial artist from the Zhenwu Bureau earlier, from his colleague...

Han Ting opened it, and Chu Yuan leaned over to take a look;

In the video, Zhao Mingren sits in an office chair, expressionless;

A slender woman across from him raised her chin and asked, "Captain Zhao, what's your decision?"

"Why are several martial arts families joining forces to target an ordinary girl?"

"Who told her to take something she shouldn't have?" The woman sneered. "That Chu Yuan got lucky and was issued a Zhenwu Order. It's not a good time to touch him for now!"

This little bitch has no one to protect her!

"As long as the Zhenwu Bureau intervenes... are you afraid she won't obediently comply?"

"What if Chu Yuan comes looking for us?"

The woman raised her chin even higher: "How deep can a friendship formed during a trial be? If he's truly that loyal and righteous... that's actually a good thing!"

If I remember correctly, even with the Zhenwu Token, one cannot interfere with the operation of the Zhenwu Bureau, right?

We actually hope he does something utterly rebellious; otherwise, I have a thousand ways to make sure she dies a meaningless death, especially since she's just an Inner Breath Realm cultivator! Why would I need to come to you?

Zhao Mingren nodded, then changed the subject: "Chu Yuan... is indeed a great threat."

"But you dare to cooperate with me?"

"Why wouldn't you dare?"

Do you know who I am?

"certainly....."

Zhao Mingren gave a strange smile: "What if we're exposed...aren't you afraid of being purged by the human race?"

"Hehe~ In short, Chu Yuan did nothing, so he spread rumors that he was heartless, cruel and ungrateful, and that no one associated with him would have a good ending!"

"If Chu Yuan dares to come...we'll find a way to label him a traitor! Ideally, we'll revoke his Zhenwu Order!"

"What if you kill him?"

The woman paused, then laughed, "Resisting law enforcement, execute on the spot... killing would be even better!"

"I agree, but the martial arts family behind you must do one thing for me."

"What is it?"

"I have some old friends who are tired of the fighting in the outer world... help me send them back."

"Can."

......

The video itself isn't problematic; it's simply a case of collusion and abuse of power for personal gain.

Of course, that's assuming Zhao Mingren is only the "Captain of the Zhenwu Bureau"!

But he's a Nightmare Insect...

In the video, the woman "dared to collaborate with him" and "knew his identity"...

Even if Zhao Mingren deliberately misled them, the accusation of "colluding with foreign races" was firmly pinned on the heads of the martial arts families represented by the woman!

The key point is that they certainly won't admit it!

The question of whether to presume guilt or innocence... is highly subjective...

The video had just finished watching when another list was sent to this terminal;

Han Ting glanced through it briefly and sneered, "Where is that insect's 'old friend'?"

"I've only heard that martial artists gather at a car repair shop in the west of the city..."

Han Ting nodded: "Find the other remaining members of the Zhenwu Bureau and bring them under control."

"Chu Yuan, let's go."

Just as Chu Yuan was about to respond, he felt a blur of light and shadow before his eyes;

In an instant, visibility returned, and they found themselves above an old repair shop.

On a large open space, dozens of insects knelt together around overlapping array patterns, facing the center, long since lifeless...

Han Ting glanced at it and explained, "This is using the power of the formation to sacrifice all of one's spiritual power to that insect in the Zhenwu Bureau."

Only then was he able to connect with the outer realms and break open a sliver of spatial rift...

Chu Yuan's gaze, however, fell upon the obsidian-like giant cocoon in the center of the array patterns. Tian Tian... was inside...
