Chapter 2494 A Mouthful Blame
Na Hong's words were truly vicious, but Qu Jianlei didn't care at all.

Although he was also annoyed, the other party was not an ordinary enemy, but an undercover agent who was using rhetoric.

If he actually makes a move, it will only be doing the other party's wish, so... no matter how angry you are, you have to hold back!

Moreover, the other party is just an avatar, yet it wants to see the passage of time. What is it thinking?

Qu Jianlei was somewhat surprised that people in the cultivation world could be so sharp-tongued, with Xuan Yi preceding Na Hong.

So he simply asked, "You mean... you refuse to surrender?"

“Yes, I refused,” Nahong nodded with a smile. “Did you divine my true form?”

“I rarely hate someone to this extent,” Qu Jianlei said with a smile. “You have successfully angered me.”

"Hmm, so what?" Nahong asked nonchalantly, "Will you wipe out the entire Du family?"

"Hehe," Qu Jianlei chuckled, "Guess..."

The next moment, he drew a long, black sword and slashed forward with a flick of his wrist, saying, "I've already locked onto you. There's no point in keeping you alive!"

“This method is a bit insufficient,” Na Hong Zhenzun’s body flashed, and he retreated tens of millions of kilometers away.

He chuckled softly, "As expected, the rumors are true. Apart from the passage of time... Qu Zhenzun, you are utterly useless!"

“But he has friends,” a soft sigh came, and a large golden net tightly covered Nahong’s clone.

The next moment, Jin Ge's complaint came, "You bastard, you didn't even tell me."

"If you don't come, I have other methods!" Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "This guy has a sharp tongue, try not to kill him."

"It was just an avatar, so what if it dies?" Jin Ge said nonchalantly. "To incite conflict between realms is a crime punishable by death!"

"By the way, didn't you slaughter his entire clan?"

"I kept it," Qu Jianlei replied calmly. "Why did you rush over here?"

“Nonsense, I get a share of the management fees for this other world,” Jin Ge replied matter-of-factly.

"I've heard that the Realm of All Things is amassing troops in the void. This is truly outrageous. Shall we gather our companions and launch a counterattack?"

“You go if you want,” Qu Jianlei said, a little puzzled. Didn’t you not buy into Baiqiao’s nonsense? “There are at least a dozen True Venerables.”

"Then let's deal with the traitors first," Jin Ge said. Although he had a bad temper, he was very accurate in assessing strength.

"I've left it all to you," Qu Jianlei suddenly said, sounding somewhat disinterested. "Do you want me to help you capture the true form?"

If he had heard this when he was still in the Nascent Soul stage, he would have thought it was just showing off—helping to capture the true body of a Nascent Soul cultivator?

But that's really what he's thinking now; anyway, he thinks he's drawn enough hatred.

His teammates were relatively safe, so he left the rest to Lingyun Sect. He didn't want to be a tool for others anymore.

The outside world's desire to jointly develop the other world will definitely affect his profits, but isn't Ling Yun's reputation more important?

Why should he charge ahead while those old silver coins like Baiqiao laugh behind him?
"What do you mean?" Jin Ge looked at him in astonishment. "I'm here to help you."

Qu Jianlei glanced at him. "Didn't Baiqiao send you?"

"Who the hell do I know who he is?" Jin Ge scoffed dismissively. "I knew you couldn't stand this."

"Then let Minning do a divination, and it will come, won't it?"

Qu Jianlei thought about it and agreed; Min Ning's divination was also quite impressive—at least much better than Jin Ge's.

Na Hong's ability to reverse cause and effect is indeed very strong, but when he is fighting against himself, he really can't pay attention to other cause and effect investigations.

Then he was troubled again. What about this matter... never mind, I won't think about it too much. "Shall we go and capture the real person?"

“Absolutely,” Jin Ge Zhenzun said without hesitation, “These traitors should be killed if you want to!”

Suddenly, Qu Jianlei had a moment of clarity. His previous struggle stemmed from not recognizing himself as a native of Houde.

If you are a cultivator from Houde native land, you don't need to worry about the management fee share of another world at all.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was you from the Myriad Realms who came to seize Houde's resources. In the heat of righteous indignation, it's normal for people to kill or injure each other.

Once this happens, it's a fait accompli, and Lingyun Sect can't make a fuss about it even if they want to.

Therefore, ordinary people should put themselves in the position of ordinary people and not learn from those high-ranking figures who talk about a sense of the big picture.

Qu Jianlei is indeed a respected figure, but within Houde's management system, he doesn't really have much say; at most, he's a troublemaker.

So there's really no need to consider the big picture or anything like that; just do what you want.

Thinking a little deeper: Baiqiao's actions, besides being due to a shortage of manpower, might also be a test of his acceptance of Houde!

Anyway, those old bastards always think a hundred steps ahead, so what's wrong with them being brainless brutes?

Having figured out the intricacies of the situation, he felt much more at ease.

Putting all his worries aside, he glanced at Nahong's clone in the net, "Don't let him die for now."

"Don't worry," Jin Ge said, appearing in human form the next moment, holding his clone in his hand, "it's completely sealed off."

Qu Jianlei raised his hand and made a calculation. Sure enough, it was almost impossible to use this clone to predict the true self.

So he released another cultivator, who was the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Du family that he had captured earlier.

He raised his hand, made a cut on the other person's arm, and collected the essence blood expressionlessly.

At this moment, Na Hong's true self had severed the karmic ties with his clone and was unaware of what was happening here.

But suddenly, he felt a faint pang of fear, and his heart sank: It's over!

He was still hesitating whether to take the risk and go to the Jia'er section to pick up a few outstanding juniors.

The best have already been snapped up, but there are still a few younger talents, but... they are more dangerous.

Now he has completely given up hope. There's no need to care about the younger generation anymore; he's lucky he was able to escape.

His previous divination indicated that his clansmen had been captured, but were not in mortal danger—and logically, it was indeed not a case of the entire clan being exterminated.

Then just run like crazy and try to break out of the Thick Virtue Realm as soon as possible to join the main force in the void.

While fleeing, he managed to steal a moment to contact his secondary clone, instructing him not to contact outsiders for help.

He handled this incident haphazardly, initially even trying to get help from others.

But this is understandable. Firstly, he really didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and secondly, he didn't expect that it was not many True Venerables who came.

Na Hong believed that if Hou De investigated the matter he was organizing, it would inevitably be people from Lingyun's faction who would step forward.

As a long-time undercover agent, he was very familiar with all the systems within the Lingyun Sect and had corresponding contingency plans.

But he really hadn't considered Qu Zhenzun.

Firstly, this person has not been out of the body for long, and secondly, he comes from the lower realm and is not close to Lingyun, so he can hardly be considered one of Lingyun's people.
Qu Jianlei's ferocity was well-known, and Na Hong was caught off guard, making it inevitable that he would mishandle the situation.

However, after he had only informed his secondary clone, his heart sank: Oh no, a causal thread has extended into the past!

Na Hong Zhenzun severed the cause and effect and continued to run away, wondering to himself: How did that guy sense the secondary clone?
But the next moment, he realized: it must be through the blood and essence of his offspring!

This is... going too far, isn't it? He sighed inwardly. It's nothing more than a dispute between realms. What personal grudge do we have?
He was unaware that he had severed contact with his main avatar, successfully enraging Qu Zhenzun!
Now that the secondary clone has been exposed, let's just give up. As long as the main body can escape as soon as possible, we'll see about the rest!
As he fled, he secretly vowed that this matter would not be over until he rejoined the main force!

However, as he ran, a sudden thought struck him: Oh no, the main clone hadn't self-destructed!

Therefore, his handling of this matter was rather haphazard.

Initial hesitation and indecisiveness led to complete passivity.

If the main clone destroys itself immediately upon seeing Qu Jianlei, the other party may not be able to find the original through the causal chain.

But at that time, didn't you want to find out more information? That's when you missed the best opportunity to destroy yourself.

It was too late to play the self-destruct game after that; the decision to self-destruct was enough to allow the other party to find the real person by following the cause-and-effect relationship.

Therefore, he could only cut off control and let the main clone do as it pleased, not caring about its life or death.

Anyway, he still has a Heavenly Secret Talisman on him, and with his self-severance of karma, it will be extremely difficult for the other party to divine his fate.

But at this moment, he finally considered a problem: the other party not only had the essence of their offspring, but might also have controlled the clone.

The interaction between these two factors greatly reduces the difficulty of divination!

Thinking of this, he felt utterly desperate: Damn it, I handled this whole mess terribly!

He could only hope that the other party hadn't thought of this, or that they had, but their divination skills weren't strong enough.

Unfortunately, Qu Jianlei not only had the idea, but he was also quick-witted.

Even with the clone and the essence of that Nascent Soul, the calculation only reached the secondary clone. Calculating the main body was still quite difficult.

Without saying a word, Qu Jianlei released four more Nascent Soul cultivators, extracted some of their essence blood, and arranged them into a formation.

Jin Ge was a little dizzy looking at it. "This is... the Essence Blood Five Elements Formation?"

“Hmm,” Qu Jianlei nodded, calculating on his own, “Theoretically speaking, it can help amplify causality to some extent.”

"It must be quite difficult, right?" Jin Ge gave a wry smile. "I can understand that, but it's a bit strange, how is your brain structured?"

Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "The most important thing in this world is to be serious. If you think about it seriously, it's not hard to come up with an idea."

"What a joke, is it enough to just be serious?" Jin Ge couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You also need to have considerable expertise in formations, okay?"

Even a grandmaster of array formations like Wen Xian, could he possess such heaven-defying divergent thinking?

However, what he was more concerned about was, "Did the divination accurately predict the other party's true identity?"

“He can’t escape,” a cold glint flashed in Qu Jianlei’s eyes. “I’ll make him understand the price of his loose tongue!”
