Chapter 389: Encircled Hunt and Puppet Society (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Such Natural People will greatly threaten the rule and stability of the puppet society.
“Therefore, when such a natural person appears, even if it’s just the slightest sign, it will cause the feedback mechanism of the entire puppet society.
“I’m afraid that there’s a natural person in District B16 who did something similar and caused the puppet society to react. They want to extinguish this threat.”
Cheng Yu’er was stunned when she heard that. She completely understood what Hua Ling meant, but she did not expect there to be so many details.
Lin Yan was speechless. If what Hua Ling said was true, could it be that it was because he had killed Manager Hu and the others that this so-called Encircled Hunt happened?
It was just a few people, but they caused such a huge commotion. The Puppet People were too sensitive!
“So, we definitely can’t get out for the time being?”
Niu Jing looked unhappy and said coldly, “Unless the hunt ends, the Chaotic Fog won’t open. Damn it! Which idiot caused such a commotion at such a critical moment!”
Cheng Yu’er reacted extremely quickly and immediately thought, “It might not be a bad thing. Although we can’t leave, those people from the Mist Patrol Division and Marquis Qianning can’t enter either!”
Unexpectedly, Hua Ling sighed. “On the contrary, it’s true that we can’t get out, but those people might be able to enter!”
“Huh?”
“The Encircled Hunt is to prevent the prey from escaping. The restrictions on entry are not strict. In addition, the Mist Patrol Division is an important place for the Puppet Peoples. Do you think they can’t overcome this restriction?” Cheng Yu’er’s face gradually turned pale. “In other words, not only are we trapped here and unable to leave, but the people from the AAist Patrol Division and Marquis Qianning are about to arrive?”
Niu Jing swept Cheng Yu’er with a cold gaze. “She’s the one who caused trouble for the Mist Patrol Division and Marquis Qianning. In any case, we’ve already obtained the human figurine. We can just find a place to throw her away.” Hua Ling snorted coldly. “Have you forgotten? Marquis Qianning is also looking for this figurine. How can the two of us hide under the Puppet People’s nose with such a jade statue?”
Niu Jing’s expression turned even uglier. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu’er dangerously. “There’s another way… We don’t want the human figurine anymore. We’ll kill this girl! We’ll pretend that we’ve never been here!”
Hua Ling sneered. “Little Fish is my junior. 1 have to save her.”
Niu Jing narrowed his eyes. “If 1 want to kill her, you might not be able to stop me!”
“If she dies, I’ll tell the Guild Master that you’d clearly obtained the human figurine, but you gave it away. The Guild Master specifically asked for the jade figurine. Do you think he’ll let you off when the time comes?”
Niu Jing’s expression suddenly changed. Clearly, the deterrent of that leader was extremely strong.
“Then what should we do! Mist Patrol Division, Marquis Qianning, and this Encircled Hunt that will last for an unknown time, do you think you can escape?! Who knows if they brought any Noble Realm experts above the Jade Grade over!”
“Well, actually…” At this moment, Cheng Yu’er tried to raise her hand, but she didn’t. “I have a solution!”
“What is it!”
“If the target of the encirclement is captured, will the lockdown end? The two of you are Black Grade Noble Realm experts from the Sun Chasers. Wouldn’t it be easy for you to capture a target of the encirclement in a small District B16?” Hua Ling and Niu Jing were stunned for a moment before falling into deep thought.
“That’s right, but the purpose of our Sun Chasers is to overthrow the rule of the Puppet Peoples and destroy all the Puppet Peoples. If we help the Puppet Peoples capture people, won’t it go against our purpose?”
“Hehe, what kind of joke is this?”
“Just saying… Are there any experts in District B16?”
“I know!” Cheng Yu’er raised her hand again. “District B16 is a typical influential district. One person monopolizes almost the assets of the entire district. The local emperor of District B16 is called Qian Tiande. Previously, he roped in a Sect Master of District B3. It’s said that he’s at the Jade Grade Noble Realm!
“However, this person is old. It’s because his cultivation is insufficient and the sect can’t support him anymore. That’s why he disbanded the sect and came here to retire.
“Other than this old Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivator, it’s said that there are two Black Grade Noble Realm cultivators under him who are extremely powerful.
“As for him, I’ve never seen him attack before. However, I guess that he’s most likely at the Level 4 Noble Realm!”
Hua Ling nodded and said, “The intensity of the Encircled Hunt is increasing step by step. According to the situation 1 saw previously, it’s still at the most basic level. Qian Tiande’s people haven’t all been mobilized yet.
“As long as we hurry up and resolve that problem, we can indeed contact Shanzun and leave before the people from the Mist Patrol Division arrive!
“If I’m not wrong, the trouble is that guy who’s wanted.
“Let’s go. Hurry up!”
Lin Yan also raised his eyebrows. Lin Yan had previously heard from Liu Lanqing that this was another evaluation system. According to the quality of the spiritual marrow planted, strength was different.
A Level 4 Noble Realm cultivator planted fourth-grade Spirit Marrow. It corresponded to Jade Grade, but their strength was at most between Black Grade and Jade Grade.
Except…
It was probably impossible for them to capture him and solve the problem of the Chaotic Fog.
Lin Yan was not in a hurry and followed the three of them. These two Black Grade Noble Realm cultivators of the Sun Chasers Guild did not look strong, but they knew a lot of information. It seemed that the Sun Chasers Guild had a powerful background.
Since the two of them wanted to capture someone, they naturally could not bring Cheng Yu’er along.
Hence, they first returned to Cheng Yu’er’s house and tied Cheng Yu’er to a chair again. Together with the figurine, they temporarily placed them in the underground warehouse.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t leave me here! Great Aunt, don’t leave me here! There’s an invisible person around, really!”
Cheng Yu’er kept struggling and was about to cry from anxiety.
“Stop struggling. This Jade Spirit Thread absorbs your spirituality and binds you. It will become tighter and tighter. With your strength, you can’t open it!
“Little Fish, stay here for a while. Look, the human figurine is also here. 1’11 definitely come back to look for you.
“Also, I’m not even 30 yet. Don’t call me Great Aunt!”
Cheng Yu’er: “…Don’t go, don’t go, wait…”
Seeing the two of them quickly disappear from the warehouse and even considerately close the floor door, Cheng Yu’er’s heart seemed to be clenched.
The two of them did not even light up the lamp for her. The darkness was like a tidal wave that surged up, instantly overflowing her heart and drowning her entire body.
“I know you’re here. Don’t come over! I’m warning you, I’m not afraid of you. Come out if you dare. See if 1 don’t…”
Suddenly, a layer of hazy light flashed past, opening up a halo of light in the darkness. It also grabbed Cheng Yu’er’s throat.
A match, burning with an orange-red halo, slowly cut through the darkness and fell into the kerosene lamp on the cellar table.
However, Cheng Yu’er could not feel any warmth at all. She only felt a numbing coldness all over her body. In the range of the halo, an ordinary figure pulled back the burned-out match and casually extinguished it.
“You, you, you… are you a human or a ghost!”
“Didn’t you call me out?”
Lin Yan walked up to Cheng Yu’er in two steps and sized her up abnormally. “How did you know that I was by your side?”
Cheng Yu’er gulped. “1,1,1 was just guessing.”
“I don’t think so.” Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “I’m very curious. How did you guess? And why are you so confident that someone is by your side?”
Cheng Yu’er was about to speak when Lin Yan said with a fake smile, “There’s no need to find an excuse. I want to hear the truth.”
In the dark and narrow underground passage, a young woman was tied up tightly. Under the dim light, an unfamiliar man was smiling at her wickedly… Cheng Yu’er shuddered. “If 1 tell you, will you let me go?”
“There’s no grudge between us.”
Cheng Yu’er swallowed her saliva and hesitated again and again. As if she had confirmed something, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s because of my intuition!”
“Instinct? Is intuition that confident?”
Cheng Yu’er said seriously, “It’s true! My intuition has always been very accurate. It’s been like this since I was young.. You can understand it as… a talent!”
