Chapter 956: Chapter 824: Anticipation (First Update Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Chatelet, armed with Spiritual Power Armor, was not completely killed by the four spiritual attacks, only rendered unconscious.

However, the attacks from Qu Jianlei and the Paranoid were completely perceived by Granny Jia.

The corners of the old lady’s mouth twitched slightly, but there was no spiritual fluctuation.

There’s no way around it, this is life. Since a choice has been made, one must face the possible consequences.

In fact, when she discovered that the other party had Spiritual Armor, she knew she didn’t even have the qualifications to plead.

Chatelet being so prepared indicated that the two sides were bound to be opponents sooner or later.

Qu Jianlei and the Paranoid also knew that the old lady would certainly perceive this place—fine rain is the best medium.

Not having detected any spiritual fluctuation, the two naturally guessed that Granny Jia had given up on pleading.

Two ghostly silhouettes darted into the estate; Qu Jianlei raised his hand and imposed a restriction on Chatelet.

The Paranoid, on the other hand, began searching for loot, moving with great swiftness.

”Sigh, truly a pauper, only a single Storage Talisman... why didn’t you kill him?”

”Always want to see if this guy has anything to reveal,” Qu Jianlei responded calmly.

In fact, he wanted to give the old lady a chance... are you sure you don’t want to plead?

The two figures came and went quickly, like wisps of smoke blowing into the courtyard before suddenly disappearing.

However, Qu Jianlei’s restraint was somewhat unnecessary, as the four spiritual attacks had severely damaged Chatelet’s spirit.

The two stopped in a wooded area over ten kilometers away, conducting a simple check on the captive.

The Paranoid shook his head, ”In this condition, Soul Search probably won’t work, it will only further harm him.”

Moreover, speaking of Soul Search, his skill wasn’t very high, but having the old lady do it was just inappropriate.

”Kill him,” Qu Jianlei sighed softly, then lifted a hand and twisted the man’s neck.

The resilience of Supreme Life Force is truly not just talk; with his neck twisted, Chatelet instead awoke.

Only his cultivation level was sealed, and upon waking, he could only babble incoherently, ”Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!”

In fact, when he spoke these words, his mind was not very clear, just knowing he should plead for his life.

”No misunderstanding!” Qu Jianlei sighed softly, raising a hand to strike heavily on the other’s head.

His cultivation level now was far beyond what it was when he first advanced, and this strike directly shattered the other’s skull.

Chatelet persisted for over a minute, finally exhaling a long breath and fell silent.

”What a waste,” the Paranoid played with a pendant in his hand, ”this Spiritual Armor is basically ruined.”

The pendant was a small black star-like ornament, neither metal nor stone, now covered with cracks.

”I don’t know what this material is,” Qu Jianlei sensed it, frowning slightly.

”Alright, give this to me,” the Paranoid surprisingly requested out loud, a rare occurrence for his prideful self.

Qu Jianlei gave him a strange look, ”First find a place to dispose of the body... isn’t your spiritual power quite strong?”

”There’s always someone better,” the Paranoid casually remarked, ”not to mention having to deal with Balrog, the Supreme of the spirit!”

Qu Jianlei highly suspected whether this guy was trying to defend himself. But dealing with Balrog... that reasoning was indeed plausible.

After disposing of the body, the two returned to the estate.

Granny Jia didn’t use her spiritual power again, instead instantly flashing over, ”May I take a look at his Storage Talisman?”

”Of course,” the Paranoid tossed the Storage Talisman over, ”you can have it, there’s nothing valuable inside.”

The old lady didn’t need to perceive it too carefully, she finished in just a few seconds and handed it back to the Paranoid, ”Truly nothing there.”

The Paranoid put away the Storage Talisman, ”At least there are a few million Silver Notes, wasn’t a complete waste... did this guy come looking for death?”

Only that reason could explain why the other dared to come with only one Storage Talisman.

Granny Jia, as usual, ignored him, instead looking at Qu Jianlei, ”Need to disperse the rain clouds?”

Chatelet’s death had thoroughly unburdened her, and she naturally proposed a rational suggestion.

Qu Jianlei instantly grasped her true intent, ”Are you worried Balrog will come here in a rage?”

The old lady nodded, ”Not just Balrog, but also the Anomalous Management Division, continuing with stillness overcoming motion is a bit passive now.”

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then shook his head, ”Then let them come, see what they have to say... Hopefully, we can directly act.”

Before the old lady could speak, the Paranoid chimed in, ”I agree with Panda.”

”Let me tell you, Balrog’s guts may not be that big... otherwise, why send Chatelet to probe?”

His words made sense, but overlooked one point: Balrog might simply not want to get involved in trouble.

However, his words did sway the old lady, ”At least we need to put away the Spirit Gathering Array and Qi Gathering Array.”

The Paranoid shook his head, ”No need to put away the Qi Gathering Array, dispersing these elements into nature is actually not difficult.”

And Qu Jianlei also shook his head, ”The Spirit Gathering Array can’t be put away, you need to restore Spiritual Qi.”

”As for Spiritual Qi not dispersing easily, that’s simple... we can simultaneously draw in and clear it, it should be quick!”

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook her head, ”You two... sigh, have it your way.”

So in the days that followed, the weather remained rainy and overcast.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and just as everyone was marveling at how patient the opposing party was, someone came knocking.

The visitor was an unremarkable B-level female Awakened; she was delivering goods on behalf of Qinghu.

After the handover was completed, she said to Xiao Qin, ”You’ve added so many more materials; I wish to meet your leader.”

Qu Jianlei originally found this woman somewhat familiar, then suddenly realized.

So he greeted her using spirit power, ”Qinghu Supreme, long time no see!”

”?” The woman’s emotions drove a noticeable shift, clearly surprised by this way of greeting.

Xiao Qin wanted to politely decline on behalf of the leader, but unexpectedly, a voice rang out, ”Let her come over.”

Qinghu approached Qu Jianlei and spoke in a deep voice, ”That Chatelet... is he dead?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied crisply, ”I don’t know who you’re talking about.”

”So he is dead,” Qinghu nodded thoughtfully, knowing well how to interpret these words.

To be honest, she felt somewhat regretful about this news, because Chatelet Supreme... had quite a good relationship with her.

In the past, when she was still weak, Chatelet had helped her—although the help was not substantial, it was a favor nonetheless.

Even recently, he had tried to convince the Anomalous Management Division to not target Qinghu excessively.

Qinghu was highly critical of the Anomalous Management Division and was unlikely to accept mediation, but even so, Chatelet had put in a lot of effort to help.

But the past is the past; now she wanted to know, ”Do you plan to stay here any longer?”

”Why not?” Qu Jianlei asked candidly, ”We haven’t done anything.”

This was why he didn’t admit to dealing with Chatelet earlier.

Qinghu was also disinclined to argue with him, ”The materials you requested have suddenly increased significantly. Have you achieved any phased results?”

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, ”We’ve made minor progress... By the way, what about Balrog’s whereabouts?”

The other party had promised long ago to provide news as soon as possible, but up until now, a satisfactory response was still absent!

Qinghu shook her head and replied crisply, ”He’s already gone into hiding; it will be hard to find him in the short term.”

Ha? Hearing this, Qu Jianlei almost thought he heard wrong, ”Are you saying... he’s gone into hiding?”

”With Chatelet gone missing,” Qinghu casually remarked, ”Considering his aptitude for anticipating dangers, naturally, he’d hide.”

Qu Jianlei never expected someone as assertive as Balrog could have this side.

But on second thought, it wasn’t too difficult to understand; it’s quite normal for a Supreme with a strong spiritual attribute to have heightened intuition.

A slight cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips, ”Gone into hiding... is it that easy?”

”He most likely hid within the Anomalous Management Division,” Qinghu declared solemnly, ”The Anomalous Management Division is not to be trifled with, you should know this!”

Still testing me... Qu Jianlei rubbed his forehead, ”How many Supreme are there in the Anomalous Management Division?”

Qinghu was momentarily taken aback by this, are you planning to confront them?

It’s alright to be a little reckless, but there’s no need to run into danger!

Then she shook her head, ”I don’t know about this for now, I’m just curious if you’ve reached a phase result with your array?”

”There’s no array,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, denying it, ”unless you tell me where these people are gathering at Celestial Hook.”

”Why put yourself through unnecessary trouble?” Qinghu sighed softly, ”After some time... first, go to the Maiden Star Realm.”

This was practically a formal invitation... I’ve figured out who you are, no need to pretend anymore!

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then shook his head, ”Can’t go for now, I have too much to handle here and also want to clash with the Anomalous Management Division!”

Hearing this, Qinghu also shook her head, ”Heed my advice, don’t meddle with the Anomalous Management Division, at least... not now.”

Not now... Qu Jianlei wanted to ask why, but ultimately he held back.

In the end, he just sighed softly, ”Then how long can we stay at Celestial Blade?”

Since you like giving guidance, here’s your chance to give advice.

”I’m not sure about this either,” Qinghu shook her head, answered frankly, ”If you really have nowhere to go, you can head to Niaoming Stream.”

Seeking refuge with the Haiyin Family? Qu Jianlei paused for a moment and decisively asked, ”Can all the materials I ordered be delivered within ten days?”

”I’ll try my best... and aim for half a month,” Qinghu pondered and replied.

”It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t guarantee it.”

After a pause, she cautiously asked, ”You don’t seem keen on going to Niaoming Stream, may I ask where you plan to go?”

This woman really is perceptive! Qu Jianlei lifted his eyelids; I didn’t say I’m not going, though.

”Probably still the Asteroid Belt, I am curious to see who dares to chase me there!”
