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

Chu Yuan carried the distraught Liu Yan back to Qiyang City, but for a moment he didn't know where to go.

He could only find a park to sit in and wait for Jiang Fei's news, while also studying the Martial God Talisman.

Liu Yan watched as Chu Yuan held her precious pendant in his hand, but dared not go forward to ask for it back.

She was genuinely terrified by what she had just witnessed...

But why does this murderer act like nothing happened? He even dares to come back to Qiyang City?

Isn't he afraid?

"I...I need to use the restroom!"

Chu Yuan glanced at her but ignored her, continuing to study the Martial God Talisman on his own.

The paper that contained this technique was certainly not ordinary paper. Chu Yuan crumpled it up; it seemed to be the skin of some kind of creature.

It was incredibly tough; even when he tore it with a little force, the pages didn't deform in the slightest.

The first thing you see when you open the book is a huge character for "martial arts".

Boom!

It felt like an explosion was going off in my head!

Chu Yuan felt an unyielding and indomitable aura surge into his mind! It was filled with a vast and magnificent energy!

A vision seemed to appear before my eyes, as if I were in a cold, lonely, dark void, and a fist that looked like a star was smashing towards me!

Faced with that will to destroy everything, shatter everything, and break everything, he instinctively wanted to dodge;

He found himself completely paralyzed, unable to move a single part of his body, and could only watch helplessly as the fist came hurtling towards him...

Just then, a cool sensation surged into my mind;

In an instant, all the grand scenes vanished, leaving only a trace of boundless divine aura... Looking down, the guardian crystal in his hand was emitting a faint glow...

Chu Yuan frowned. Even with the enhancement of his divine sense, he was instantly captivated by that martial will.

Without the guardian crystal, no low-level martial artist could possibly cultivate this...

But the next moment, a surge of passion rose within him;

With such a powerful technique, it's no wonder that martial arts families are vying for it!

If I were to master this technique and then transform it into a cultivation method... how powerful would it be!?

Jiang Fei had previously told himself that the only difference between a good cultivation method and an ordinary one was the speed at which energy was absorbed.

That's utter nonsense.

What does 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 staring blankly at the book, her heart pounding with fear. Only when she was sure he really didn't want to talk to her did she slowly make her way to the restroom.

She moved very slowly, afraid of causing Chu Yuan to misunderstand.

Only after hiding in the toilet and being out of Chu Yuan's sight did she barely regain a sense of security.

He quickly picked up his terminal and dialed a number: "Police station?! I need 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!"

"...We're at Taoyuan Park now!"

"Yes, yes! He's a martial artist!"

"Strength? I don't know, but they look like they're only eighteen or nineteen years old..." Liu Yan had already forgotten how Jiang Fei and Chu Yuan made their entrance, only remembering that they... suddenly appeared?

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

After quickly finishing her story, Liu Yan went outside and found Chu Yuan still staring blankly at the book.

She felt a little relieved that they probably hadn't noticed her actions, and began to silently look forward to it.

Time passed agonizingly. After an unknown amount of time, police lights flashed and two police cars rushed over.

A strong, capable man jumped out of the car and instantly locked onto Chu Yuan!

"Don't move!" Two men drew their knives and pointed them at Chu Yuan, while several security guards with standard pistols raised their guns to create a tense atmosphere.

"Young lady, did you report the incident?"

"Yes, yes, it's me!" Liu Yan finally relaxed.

"It's alright, it's alright, come to me... He killed your boyfriend?"

"Yes! Arrest this murderer immediately!" Liu Yan paused, then blurted out as if possessed, "He also stole my things!"

It's that book and that pendant!

Chu Yuan actually didn't know that Liu Yan had reported the case; he didn't have the habit of peeping at other people using the toilet.

But faced with this scene, I didn't feel anything was amiss.

If it were before, such as when he was falsely accused of killing Li Chen, he might have needed someone else to bail him out;

But now... Chu Yuan had to admit that the Zhenwu Bureau's considerations were indeed very thorough.

He put away the Martial God Scroll and took out the Martial Suppression Token, tossing it over.

"It's none of your business."

There's been no movement from Jiang Fei yet, so contacting the Qiyang City Martial Arts Bureau right now isn't appropriate.

But dealing with the Public Security Bureau... the Zhenwu Order is enough!

An elderly security officer, clearly a martial artist, was slightly angry; he hadn't seen such lawless criminals in a long time.

He stepped forward, about to reprimand;

But then he heard his old colleague beside him exclaim in surprise, "The Zhenwu Bureau!?"

He was startled and immediately stopped what he was doing, taking two steps away from Liu Yan.

Although they all claim to be maintaining internal stability, the Zhenwu Bureau does things that the Public Security Bureau can never get involved in... or rather, they would avoid at all costs!

There have been previous cases where misjudging the strength of a violent assailant led to the deaths of many security personnel during the arrest...

After all, although the Public Security Bureau has martial artists, they are not strong enough;

Slightly stronger martial artists have plenty of options, whether it's the Zhenwu Bureau or the outer battlefield.

Even if one is afraid of danger, being a leisurely martial artist teaching outside one's home... is better than just drifting along in the police force...

Therefore, people targeted by the Zhenwu Bureau are very dangerous to them. This girl seems harmless, but who knows if she is a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Chu Yuan nodded, agreeing in acquiescence;

The veteran security guard leading the group stood respectfully in attendance: "I'm sorry, I hope we haven't caused you any trouble... Let's go!"

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

For some humanoid beings, they might intentionally be captured and then encounter all sorts of bizarre and inexplicable targeting and humiliation at the police station;

Perhaps there are also young men who fall in love with Liu Yan at first sight and torture themselves in an attempt to please her;

He would reveal his identity at the last moment, causing the entire Public Security Bureau to be filled with fear and trepidation... and then put on a big show.

But Chu Yuan wasn't that bored; to him, this was just a trivial little episode.

However... Liu Yan clearly couldn't remain as calm as Chu Yuan.

She felt like the sky had fallen...

"No! You can't leave... You're covering up for us! You're colluding with us!"

I want to...I want to file a complaint against you!

Her desperate cries were like a one-woman show;

The audience, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, hastened their departure...

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

"I couldn't hold back and accidentally killed them... They said it was the Li family of Yu Nan Prefecture, but I think it's a frame-up..."
