Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 364: Chapter 144 What? You’ve actually achieved Energy Transformation?

”Jiu Si, dealing with Feng Xuan might not be as simple as you think.”

Wu Hong said to Chen Jie with a grave expression on his face.

Feng Xuan is no longer alone; by selling out the interests of the White Tiger Hall, he has completely made himself a subsidiary to Nan Batian and gained Nan Batian’s support. That means if Chen Jie wants to move against Feng Xuan, he has to get past Nan Batian first.

And for the benefits he is receiving, Nan Batian would certainly protect Feng Xuan to death, propping up a puppet who will be obedient.

So, Chen Jie’s enemy is not just Feng Xuan, it also includes Nan Batian and the entire strength of the Fishing Guild that Nan Batian represents.

Even if Chen Jie becomes an Energy Transformation Master, and even if Wu Hong himself becomes an Energy Transformation Master, and disregards his own position to help Chen Jie fight Nan Batian, their chances of winning are slim.

Nan Batian, the head of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, is not someone Chen Jie can currently handle; although they are at the same stage of Energy Transformation, there is still a big gap between levels of mastery.

Therefore, Wu Hong is not very optimistic about Chen Jie’s plan to return to the city for revenge, especially considering that tomorrow is the day Feng Xuan takes office as the White Tiger Hall Master.

Chen Jie actually understands Wu Hong’s concerns. Yes, his enemy has never been the simple Feng Xuan. Feng Xuan is just a pawn, merely a knife, while the real person wielding the knife is Nan Batian.

Hence, the biggest obstacle for Chen Jie’s revenge trip this time is Nan Batian.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jie said, ”Brother Hong, I know this, and I already have a strategy in mind. However, Brother Hong, I need your help with something.”

”What is it?”

Wu Hong looked at Chen Jie, who continued, ”Go to Lin City and capture someone for me. Help me bring them back to the city by dawn tomorrow.”

”Who?”

Wu Hong looked at Chen Jie, puzzled. Chen Jie replied, ”Huadie!”

”Her? Isn’t she with the Fishing Guild?”

Wu Hong looked at Chen Jie doubtfully, to which Chen Jie said, ”She was released by Nan Batian and returned to Lin City three days ago. Here is the address.”

Chen Jie took a pen and wrote down the address on a paper.

As for how he knew this, it was because the intelligence was refreshed last night, providing the address of Huadie among the new details.

The intelligence was updated punctually every day, which Chen Jie checked regularly. But for some of the less important details, he just glanced at them, noting them without deep analysis.

Among yesterday’s five pieces of intelligence, there was news about Huadie.

Wu Hong responded, ”Alright, I’ll head to Lin City right now. By dawn tomorrow, I can definitely bring the person to Mianshui City.”

Chen Jie replied, ”Mm, thank you for this.”

Wu Hong said, ”Jiu Si, although I know you must have made arrangements, I still want to remind you: even if Huadie is captured, she might not speak. She won’t betray Nan Batian for you, because Nan Batian is much more formidable than you are.”

Chen Jie laughed and replied, ”Hehe, that’s right, strength is the reasoning. But, I have a way to make her talk.”

”Really? What makes you so confident?” Wu Hong asked.

”Of course, because it’s not me who will make her talk but Darugachi!” Chen Jie asserted.

”Darugachi?”

Wu Hong looked befuddled. What does this have to do with Darugachi? Chen Jie continued, ”In Mianshui City, Darugachi is the chess player, seeking balance. The power of the Fishing Guild is stronger than the Guild Cao, hence, Darugachi supported my foster father in splitting off, leaving the Fishing Guild to navigate between the two powers in search of equilibrium.”

”This is the fundamental reason why the White Tiger Hall belongs to the Fishing Guild yet is always ambiguous with the Guild Cao.”

”This time, Nan Batian has schemed against my foster father, elevating Feng Xuan. With Feng Xuan having incriminating evidence in Nan Batian’s hands, he has to completely side with Nan Batian, disrupting the balance in Mianshui County.”

”The Fishing Guild is now too big to fail, something Darugachi can’t tolerate. So he’s very dissatisfied with Nan Batian right now.”

”But Nan Batian acted in the shadows, leaving no obvious fault to be accused of, so Darugachi Mansion can’t intervene directly, and they can only watch in disapproval. However, this dissatisfaction has already taken seed.”

”At this point, all that’s needed is someone to take the lead, to give Darugachi a reason to suppress Nan Batian, which means the enigmatic Darugachi won’t be able to stay out of the scene.”

”And that is my opportunity!”

Chen Jie revealed his plan. Feng Xuan had a backing, and he had to find one too, one that could suppress Nan Batian.

In Mianshui, who could hold down Nan Batian?

Undoubtedly it was Darugachi!

After hearing this, Wu Hong asked, ”Jiu Si, are all your pieces of intelligence reliable? Is Darugachi truly discontent with Nan Batian?”

Chen Jie’s lips curled upward as he said, ”My intelligence... is never wrong!”

Indeed, the System’s intelligence had yet to fail.

Seeing Chen Jie so confident, Wu Hong said, ”Then I’ll head to Lin City to capture Huadie. Jiu Si, what will you do next? Do you need my help?”

Chen Jie answered, ”Mm, I’m heading into the city right away to set things up. I can manage, so there’s no need for help.”

Wu Hong said, ”Then be careful in everything.”

”Don’t worry, I’m no longer the Chen Jiusi of the Iron Bone Realm; I am an Energy Transformation Master,” Chen Jie declared with confidence, feeling incredibly powerful.

Whether it was the efficacy of the Spirit Transformation Pill he had taken or because he had consumed a Tai Sui Pill before his breakthrough, which brought him to peak condition, Chen Jie felt his current power was beyond that of newly advanced Energy Transformation Martial Artists like Qin Ying.

He felt he was now on the same level as veteran powerhouses like Third Miss Hua and Qiao Hongyan.
