The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 204: Chapter 118: Zhou Celestial People_2

“That’s right.”

“It seems you’re indeed clever enough.”

Song Shulin nodded: “Currently, we have already destroyed two strongholds of the Evil God Sect.”

“One of them…”

He shook his head: “To say it was destroyed single-handedly by Qin Jin, as you mentioned, wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

Gu Xiweng didn’t ask further questions.

Led by the staff, he joined the Patrol Bureau’s analysis team and began reviewing the compiled information.

As he delved into the data.

Around him, his Spiritual Power became noticeably active, and on the glasses he wore, the latest gathered intelligence was displayed, visible only to him, as if he entered a remarkably unique state.

…

The explosion site.

After the battle concluded, Qin Jin began exploring the area.

Along the way, he encountered almost no enemies.

The sudden explosion directly disrupted the ritual here, likely killing the core members of the Esoteric Practitioner.

The remaining sect members, having identified the culprit, furiously pursued the three from Time Law Academy, until they were completely eradicated.

When Qin Jin arrived at the explosion site, the fire was already under control, gradually calming down.

The entire explosion area was littered with debris.

Qiu Dongyan stood at one end, her eyes emitting a faint light as she silently observed the wreckage.

Beside her were members of the Patrol Bureau providing protection.

“Qin Jin.”

A voice called from not far away.

“Captain Yan.”

Qin Jin looked over: “What’s the current situation?”

“These two strongholds have been thoroughly wiped out.”

Yan Yan said solemnly: “Elder Qiu has confirmed that the situation here aligns with her predictions; the unexpected surge of Spiritual Power here made the already unstable ritual power completely unbalanced, triggering this explosion.”

“Fortunately…”

“For some reason or another, to avoid detection perhaps, these two strongholds were at the city’s edge, and this explosion made the Evil God Sect members reap what they sowed.”

“Elder Qiu is confirming if there are any remaining pieces of information.”

“Unfortunately, both ritual sites are nearly completely destroyed, otherwise… with Elder Qiu’s ability, perhaps she could confirm how many more rituals there are.”

“However, if something’s left, it might just lead to more unforeseen events.”

Qin Jin nodded.

“So, does the bureau have a next step plan?”

“The bureau is compiling intelligence and analyzing possible ritual locations.”

“The Director’s intent is that since the entire city is under lockdown, we should sweep it clean in one go.”

“However, city lockdown is no small matter; time is limited, and once the bureau’s analysis results appear, we’ll have to act immediately. We’re unsure how many targets there are and whether we need to split up.”

Upon hearing this.

Qin Jin contemplated.

“Captain Yan, once the analysis results are out, perhaps I could perform a secondary confirmation.”

Yan Yan looked sharply at him.

“What do you mean?”

“Remember the feeling of aversion I mentioned before.”

Qin Jin’s voice was calm: “Since these locations are all parts of the ritual, forming a whole Esoteric Buddhism ritual, then… I should be able to sense other ritual sites too.”

“Cold Plum City is too vast; calculating the time cost for me to explore alone is impossible, but if only a few suspect locations are identified, I could go close to them for identification, making the progress much faster.”

“I understand.”

Yan Yan nodded: “I’ll report this up immediately.”

He stepped aside and began communicating without any doubt.

Having fought side by side and witnessed Qin Jin’s performance, he already had absolute trust in Qin Jin.

Soon after.

He put down the communicator, called someone over, gave a few instructions, then returned to Qin Jin’s side: “The Director agrees with your plan.”

“We still can’t determine how many ritual sites might exist; the initial analysis will be transmitted shortly, with seven locations included.”

“I’ll be your driver, and we’ll go on our own.”

During their conversation.

A special Star Shuttle rapidly approached, stopping beside them, and the driver jumped down.

Qin Jin and Yan Yan boarded.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Yan Yan turned back and suddenly asked: “Qin Jin, how close do you need to be to sense this aversion towards the Evil God Sect?”

Qin Jin pondered, recalling the location where he first sensed it during the factory assault, and said: “I should close the distance a bit.”

His words had just fallen when he noticed Yan Yan’s eyebrows furrow deeply.

“Trust me.”

Seeing this, Qin Jin’s voice was steady and serious: “When you drop me nearby, don’t accompany me, as that would only increase the chance of exposure.”

The Starship started, ascending into the air.

Yan Yan turned back, paused for a moment, and said: “Qin Jin, be careful.”

“With two stronghold changes in a row, if the Evil God Sect has other strongholds, they’re surely prepared.”

“Once you’ve confirmed the situation, return immediately and wait for the main force to gather.”

“Qin Jin.”

He lowered his voice: “Your performance this time is outstanding. If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t believe someone your age could achieve this.”

“Ultimately, this is our Patrol Bureau’s duty, yet it might put you in danger.”

Still intending to say more, he was interrupted by Qin Jin.

“Captain Yan.”

Qin Jin’s voice remained steady: “I’m aware of my limits.”

“Besides.”

He smiled peacefully: “Sweeping out the Evil God Sect isn’t about duty; everyone can contribute.”

The Star Shuttle ascended into the high sky, leaving tranquility inside.
