Chapter 192: [164] Respect the Way with heavenly thunder, I do not venerate deities (thanks to chester721 for their support)_2
Especially since these matters were simply too distant from him.

He hadn’t yet fully understood the path before him and didn’t want to bite off more than he could chew.

But if he could devour that one…

…

A gust of strong wind suddenly brushed against his face.

Jinye raised his palm and tore through the wind and waves in front of him.

Even two hundred meters away, he could feel the force of the blast, which gave him some new insights into the capabilities of the two Third Rank strongmen.

However…

Jinye hesitated for a moment but decided to stay put.

“What a pity, ah.”

…

In the distance, beneath the thunder from the sky, Teacher Chang’s body harshly squeezed through the air, carrying a violently explosive hot current and crossed the space in an instant.

The buildings along the street were like tunnels forcibly opened by the sheer force of his physical body.

Eerily tranquil.

Chu Tianye, who had just taken eighteen of Teacher Chang’s punches, looked extremely pale, with even blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, “Seal this area off!”

“Yes!”

Chu Tianye, sword in hand, quickly followed in pursuit. Moving like lightning, he disappeared into the storm, rushing into the tunnel.

But the very next second.

A “boom” resounded.

The seven-story residential building collapsed with a thunderous crash, burying Chu Tianye completely.

…

In the command center.

Zhou Weiren’s expression was grave as he ordered without delay, “Immediately issue a city-wide manhunt for Chang Youlong! Also, report to Central State and thoroughly investigate all of Chang Youlong’s actions in Da Peng City!”

After finishing his orders.

He suddenly remembered that Jinye had once trained with the Bronze Association.

He then found an excuse to call Secretary Lin over for a private word and whispered a few sentences in her ear; the recently returned Secretary Lin promptly left once more.

…

Jinye found Chu Tianye amid the ruins. The swordsman was unharmed, only having suffered a significant Vitality Shock from his clash with Teacher Chang.

Nothing else was amiss.

“Could he have ingested Divine Blood?”

Chu Tianye muttered to himself, then noticing Jinye by his side, he quickly shut his mouth, changing the subject, “Have the headquarters people arrived yet?”

“I see that the Night Patrol Department has already been notified,” replied Jinye.

Chu Tianye nodded, not wasting any more words, and walked out of the rubble.

Looking back.

Jinye hadn’t moved. He was still rummaging through the ruins.

“What are you looking for?”

“There are still people inside,” Jinye kept searching without looking back.

Soon, the cries of a baby could be heard.

Night Patrol members who rushed over reached the scene; higher-ups surrounded Chu Tianye with concerned faces, “General Chu, are you alright?”

“Save people,” Chu Tianye said curtly, then turned and left.

Only then did the members of the Night Patrol notice a young man emerging from the debris with an infant in his arms.

…

“Why are you here too?” Secretary Lin spoke with a tone of someone who had narrowly escaped calamity, “I never expected it to be Teacher Chang…”

“I was passing by, and just so happened to hear some sounds,” responded Jinye truthfully, also with a tinge of emotion, “Alas, the world is unpredictable, I didn’t think that Teacher Chang would be involved, either.”

Secretary Lin whispered, “The Governor wants to thoroughly investigate Teacher Chang’s case. I’m giving you a heads up in advance. The process has to proceed. However, we’re all clear on your background; even if Xu Tian wants to make a move against you, the Governor won’t allow it this time. This is an internal matter for Da Peng City, and without authorisation from the Judgement Place, he can’t intervene.”

Xu Tian?

Pei Jinye suddenly heard this name and remembered… the guy’s death still hadn’t been exposed.

“Right, Lin Ge, I saw a huge mechanical octopus under Teacher Chang earlier. How are such things made?”

Secretary Lin smiled and explained, “He probably took the path of an alchemist. We’ll have to wait for Xing Tian to connect the data to clear that up.”

“Alchemist…” Pei Jinye scoured his memory.

These kinds of people could be said to be extremely rare.

And they were often wanted criminals of the Federation.

Members of the Investigation Team arrived from not far away.

The Night Patrol Department froze.

Secretary Lin adjusted his glasses and smiled, “It’s the Governor’s intention.”

The person in charge at the Night Patrol Department reacted and chuckled, “That works, after all it’s a big case. They need to be involved in the investigation team’s collaborative efforts.”

“Old Pei, you alright?” Brother Bi was the first to notice Pei Jinye and came over.

Secretary Lin nodded in acknowledgment and left.

“I’m fine, I just happened upon this while I was out to get some medicine,” Pei Jinye indicated the medicine bag he was holding.

Brother Bi suddenly leaned in and asked, “Are you doing this on purpose?”

“Huh? Doing what on purpose?” Pei Jinye didn’t understand.

“You look full of vitality, not a trace of injury to be seen.” Brother Bi eyed him suspiciously, “Are you using sick leave as an excuse to go have fun?”

You actually guessed it… Pei Jinye flatly denied it, “How could that be! I’m just feigning strength. It’s the medicine’s doing, I reckon I might need to take a couple more days off.”

“Damn, you’re ruthless!” Brother Bi shook his head, thinking it unlikely Pei Jinye would get an extension on his leave.

But who would have known, Pei Jinye mentioned it to Qiu Hezi, who agreed without a second thought.

Brother Bi was stunned.

He pulled Pei Jinye closer, full of ingratiation, “Teach me your ways.”

“Teach you what?”

“How to take leave. I want to slack off too, brother.”

“…Honestly, brother, I’m not slacking off.”

“Ah, right, right.”

…

The events of tonight spread quickly through Da Peng City.

In fact, such a commotion couldn’t possibly have been concealed from those intent on investigating.

Sky God International was quite shocked.

“That laboratory belonged to Chang Youlong? That old man hid it so deeply!”

“Pity he got away.”

Mr. Sang paced back and forth in front of his desk.

The most regrettable thing for him was the lab being confiscated by the city hall.

“If only we had gotten his experimental data, our own experiments might have achieved even more success! You must have all seen the video of the mutated octopus. Chang Youlong must have far more information than we can imagine… Where on earth did he get all that?”

“Mr. Sang, why don’t we try to snatch the data back?” Lin Jun couldn’t help but suggest.

Mr. Sang replied irritably, “Chu Tianye is personally escorting the data, how many heads do you have for him to chop?”

Lin Jun dared not speak any further.

However, Mr. Sang mulled it over and then said, “Let our insiders keep an eye on the data. If there’s a chance, we’ll pull a switcheroo.”

“Sir, how would we switcheroo? Didn’t you just mention that Chu Tianye is in charge of this?” Lin Jun asked curiously.

It was his brother Lin Ye who spoke solemnly, “What Mr. Sang means is to swap the new data with fake data. We must arrange this as soon as possible, because once the other side decrypts the actual data, it will be even harder for us to make the switch.”

Suddenly, Mr. Sang said, “Someone from the Jiang family died, why haven’t there been any moves yet? That old dog is becoming more and more inscrutable…”

“Damn, so annoying!”
