Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2553 Smart Man

The battle near Zhanmeng No. 3, at the headquarters of the Baiyou Business Alliance, quickly spread throughout Houde.

However, people's attitudes are quite nuanced. Some people say that the perpetrators should be severely punished, but many others say that the truth should be investigated first.

Ultimately, the entire Houde Realm harbors an instinctive aversion to these cultivators from outside the realm.

Those truly influential deities, however, see the cause and effect behind this matter.

Unless they are enemies of Qu Jianlei or Han Li, everyone would think that Baiyou Business Alliance is going too far.

It's not that we don't welcome outsiders to do business, but such rudeness and unreasonableness, what do they take Houde for?

Lingyun Sect remained calm and composed, first searching for Qu Jianlei and Han Li, and at the same time investigating the whole story.

The fact that Qu Jianlei was ambushed has already been reported. Ling Yun has various secret techniques and methods, and at the same time, he doesn't want to be looked down upon.

The true identity of Faceless has not been revealed, but it is certain that he is a True Venerable Hunter who kills for money.

Therefore, everyone can confirm that this is not the first time Qu Zhenzun has made a move in the Livable Zone, and the battle in the Isolated Zone was also his doing.

Lingyun believes that the situation in the isolated area is understandable, as it is a prosperous area, and not taking decisive action may harm more innocent people.

Although Qu Zhenzun acted on the grounds of the villa, it was precisely because of this that Ling Yun was more qualified to represent everyone in giving up the right to pursue the matter.

The bigger problem is the small area next to Zhanmeng No. 3, where many low-level cultivators have been affected, including several people of high virtue.

However, Lingyun believes that whether it is to pursue accountability or demand compensation, the relevant parties should contact Baiyou Business Alliance or Shanshuijie.

The business alliance has leased the entire area and is managing it in a closed manner, so it should naturally bear the relevant responsibilities—including security.

Moreover, at its root, it was the powerful enemy that Baiyou Business Alliance brought upon itself.

The real cause of death is the death of Youyang Zhenzun, and the corresponding aggrieved parties can go to Qu Zhenzun.

This matter has nothing to do with Lingyun; the two parties can resolve it themselves, provided that no action is taken in the livable area.

Ling Yun's attitude was somewhat strange and quite intriguing.

However, the one who most wants to find Qu Jianlei right now is not the Hundred Friends Alliance or the cultivators of the Mountain and Water Realm, but the Myriad Things Realm.

They admitted that Lin Hezhenzun might have been involved in the ambush on Qu Zhenzun.

But the problem is, Qu Zhenzun, you've already captured them, so why do you still want to eliminate them?

In any cultivation world, every True Venerable is extremely precious...

Killing someone in battle is one thing, but to kill a prisoner after capturing them is extremely excessive, even for a minor cultivator!

The entire Realm lodged a strong protest with the Lingyun Sect, demanding an explanation!

Han Li's attitude was, "I'm too lazy to explain to them that Lin He died by revealing his cave dwelling. I don't think it's necessary."

"They can just do whatever they want, and we'll all accept it... What do you say?"

“There’s really no need for that, making it seem like we’re in the wrong,” Qu Jianlei nodded. “By the way, what was the reaction from the Baiyou Business Alliance?”

“There was basically no reaction,” Han Li shook his head and answered dismissively, “They just asked Ling Yun to catch the culprit, they might be holding back a big move.”

The next moment, his expression turned a little strange. "But that True Venerable Bei Liu is quite interesting."

After Bei Liu escaped to the entrance of the passage, he, as a member of the Baiyou Business Alliance, clearly stated that he had nothing to do with this series of events.

He stated that the business alliance leaders were Youyang and Linhe, and that he was merely a shareholder who did not participate in any activities.

His hasty escape was also due to the principle that a wise person avoids dangerous situations.

Beiliu Zhenzun even appealed that both sides could temporarily put aside their grievances and find a solution through negotiation.

He didn't think Qu Zhenzun would necessarily seek revenge, because he trusted the other party's wisdom and divination abilities.

What's even more interesting is that, when faced with questions from others, he openly stated: Qu Zhenzun has never divined anything about me!
Those who say he was tricked by Qu Zhenzun and almost got hunted down... have ulterior motives!
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised. "Didn't we each take a turn calculating his fortune once?"

“So this is a smart person,” Han Li said calmly, “who probably wants to stay out of it.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head dismissively, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. He might want to, but is that even possible?"

“At least he’s speaking in a human way,” Han Li said casually. “It doesn’t sound like he’s trying to stir up trouble.”

“They’re just afraid of dying,” Qu Jianlei said slowly, his understanding being more insightful, “and they’re also beneficiaries of the system.”

The other party denied the divination, which seemed like they were being pragmatic, but... why didn't they show any goodwill in the first place?

Therefore, he would only find the matter somewhat ridiculous, rather than believing that it was necessary to let Beiliu go.

How to deal with this person in the future will depend on the situation.

"You won't let him go," Han Li looked at him and asked again and again, "Have you made up your mind?"

"What decision have you made?" Qu Jianlei felt that his attitude today was a bit strange—was this the second time he had asked?
But the next moment, he realized, "You mean, I'm leaving Houde Realm?"

“Lingyun has such concerns,” Han Li said frankly, “after all, you have made consecutive moves in the livable sector.”

The time with the isolated area was one thing, at least they tried to cover it up. But this time, they directly revealed their identity and launched an open attack.

How disrespectful must this person be to the order of the virtuous community, and how much they must despise those who maintain that order?

Lingyun Sect had long known that they had acted somewhat unfairly in the matter of the fifth-order spiritual vein, and that the Myriad Realms were using this as an excuse to sow discord.

They have reason to suspect that Qu Zhenzun did this because he already had a plan for the future.

Han Li believes that Ling Yun's recent series of reactions are still more inclined to support Qu Zhenzun.

Given the seriousness of the matter, even if Qu Zhenzun is in the right, Ling Yun should at least pretend to be polite.

“Then let’s leave,” Qu Jianlei sighed softly. “To be honest, I’m also tired of dealing with Ling Yun.”

Han Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then gave a wry smile, "I'm the same as you!"

He could understand how the other person felt. Even if he were in that situation, he would probably go crazy too.

Even Ling Yun himself was well aware of this, so this time, Bai Qiao had already tried very hard to side with Qu Jianlei.

Han Li was too deeply entangled with Hou De, and was somewhat unable to control her own destiny, which is why she inquired about Hou De's feelings.

He sighed softly, "If you really want to leave, I can cover for you, but there's something I have to make clear..."

"It's best not to go to the Realm of All Things. They're using Lin He as an excuse to force you to submit."

"Why should I go to Wanwu?" Qu Jianlei asked, somewhat puzzled. "There's so much information at the World Gathering Point, can't I just go and search for it?"

"If all else fails, I can always go to the Tree Clan World, the World Crossroads, or the Maiden Starfield... right?"

Han Li's lips twitched slightly. "That's not entirely unacceptable, but comparatively speaking... the stability of the Realm of All Things is also quite good."

"We'll see," Qu Jianlei said, not caring too much about it. "Who's been the most active during this period?"

What does this mean? Han Li thought for a moment, then realized what it meant.
He shook his head. "Nobody's very active. It's just that prices in the other world have dropped quite a bit... The Hundred Friends Alliance said they might withdraw."

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Boring. Where did they retreat to?"

"The entrance to the void passage," Han Li replied in a deep voice, "but... I've heard that cultivators from several other cultivation worlds within the Merchant Alliance are on their way."

"Damn..." Qu Jianlei's lips twitched, and after a long while, he sneered, "You really don't mind making things worse."

He asked himself if he had done anything wrong in this matter.

Even if he was very unwilling to back down back then, and he did intend to take revenge, didn't he not carry it out?

If the other party takes advantage of the situation and tries to kill him, it can't be said that it's wrong for him to fight back, right?

Qu Jianlei composed himself and looked at Han Li, "Within the Lingyun Sect, who is strongly advocating for a thorough investigation of me?"

"Ling Yun... is he alright?" Han Li paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. "You mean Elder Youjian and the others?"

"If they still dare to act recklessly in the face of such a major issue of right and wrong, aren't they just giving Baiqiao an opportunity?"

Qu Jianlei remained silent for a while before letting out a cold snort, "I really want to go on a killing spree."

The resentment in those words was too great for Han Li to respond to. After a moment's thought, he asked, "What about the people who are trying to advance in rank if you go to another world?"

“Duo Gan needs to stay,” Qu Jianlei replied after a moment’s thought. “She doesn’t have time.”

"As long as I'm alive, I'll see who dares to lay a hand on her."

He didn't say how to settle Jing Yuexin; some things didn't need to be explained so clearly.

Cultivators will eventually face all sorts of hardships and obstacles. We've overcome so many difficulties before, so I don't believe that we can't endure hardship now.

However, if Jing Yuexin fails to advance in rank because of this, when he returns, everyone should just wait and see what a bloody storm it will be like.

"Alright, it hasn't come to that yet," Han Li sensed his potential killing intent, paused for a moment, and then laughed.

"Actually, the biggest problem right now is where Jing Yuexin will advance to the next level, isn't it?"

"As long as we find a safe spiritual vein, we can just sit back and wait about this trivial matter of the Hundred Friends Alliance. You have plenty of patience."

This is absolutely true. Qu Jianlei was indeed affected by this incident, which is why he was so irritable.

He acknowledged this, nodding and sighing, "I feel like all these years of hard work have been for nothing."

He actually cares about her so much… Han Li pursed her lips indifferently, realizing she was blaming herself for this.

The problem is, if you're considered completely useless, then what about all the other people's lives? They've wasted their lives.
The next moment, Han Li suddenly laughed again, "Then let's find a spiritual vein."

"Do you think it's appropriate to let her follow you through hardships and uncertainties, where the environment for advancing in rank might not even be good?"

Qu Jianlei remained silent, thinking to himself, "When I took the risk of trying to advance in another world, was the risk too small?"
However, he had experienced enough of this kind of thing. Since he was called the boss, he naturally had to live up to everyone's trust.
