"This is..." The woman in red examined the picture carefully, then exclaimed in surprise, "A wanted criminal, Qin Zhi?"

The incident involving the Fantasy Band in Border City No. 3 had a huge impact; that nightmarish voice could even affect other major cities through broadcasting.

If the distortion in the broadcast audio had not been greatly reduced, the entire megacity region would likely have suffered a major disaster.

However, it still caused some residents in the second border city to suffer from mental breakdowns, and some are still receiving treatment to this day.

As a night watchman in red, he naturally recognized the face on the wanted poster. Every night watchman would memorize the appearance of those beasts.

"This corpse of Liu Jue is... Qin Zhi?" The woman in red looked at the half-destroyed body on the ground and her expression changed.

If it really is Qin Zhi, then the matter is even more serious.

Criminals who committed heinous crimes in Border City No. 3 have infiltrated Border City No. 2.

What is he trying to do? Is he planning to stage another Fantasy Band incident in Border City 2?

And he has an accomplice?
The woman in red immediately contacted headquarters, requesting more personnel and assistance from the security department to launch an immediate investigation in the vicinity.

If that accomplice is carrying forbidden items, they could cause great harm to the city at any time!

Even the woman in red couldn't believe the disaster that would occur if the Song of Extinction were used in a busy urban area.

How many people will suffer terrible distortions, and how many families will be destroyed?

We must find that potential danger!
Moreover, if possible, the megacity should be prepared to evacuate its residents at any time.

Of course, this would only be possible if it were confirmed that the corpse was indeed Qin Zhi.

"Red-Clad Team Leader, Captain Flying Snow has led her team to the scene." The liaison officer's voice came through the communicator: "She asked you to be aware of your surroundings; the Wilderness Ranger may still be hiding nearby. He's just as dangerous. Judging from the footage you've taken, the power of that arrow could even threaten a Overlord-level expert!"

"It's truly terrifying that a five-sense psychic could unleash such destructive power." The woman in red looked at the deep scar that pierced through the forest.

One can't help but marvel at the Wilderness Ranger's powerful damage output.

According to intelligence reports, this Wilderness Ranger is a casual psionicist with five levels of awareness.

As for the red-clothed woman, who also possesses five senses and is a prodigy from a family of spiritual beings, even with multiple combinations of abilities, she cannot achieve this level of output power.

It could even be said that there is probably no one else in the world who can unleash such power during the Five Senses stage through their own efforts.

The woman in red has a wealth of experience and is very knowledgeable.

I've even seen someone summon a meteorite through bad luck.

But faced with the Wild Ranger's arrow, he couldn't even muster the thought of giving chase.

'This is a world of difference in power compared to before. Did they use some kind of secret treasure? Did they use this weapon to kill a wanted criminal?' The woman in red thought to herself, and continued to speak to the operator on the other end of the communicator: 'Once Qin's identity is confirmed, notify Border City Three. That's their request.'

Then, the woman in red saw dozens of figures moving rapidly in mid-air.

The group split in two in the distance, one group scattering along the deep trail, clearly heading in search of the Wild Ranger.

Meanwhile, another group quickly arrived at the scene.

The one in the lead was a pretty young woman.

She is Feixue, the captain of the third team from headquarters.

Six-Senses Spiritual Eye Path Psionicist.

He once killed a sub-adult ancient dragon with a single sword strike, making him famous throughout the city.

He was called the number one swordsman of the giant city by the chuunibyou (delusional) processors.

Although it's a bit childish, her swordsmanship is indeed powerful.

Even disciples from psychic families yearn for her guidance.

She also enthusiastically taught psionicists from official and aristocratic families, cultivating many skilled individuals.

Even among the border guards, there are her disciples.

Therefore, even within the psychic families, she was highly respected.

"Master Feixue, you arrived very quickly," said the woman in red.

"It wasn't far, so I came quickly. Also, don't call me 'Master,' it makes me sound old," Feixue replied, her gaze lingering on the three corpses. "What did you find out?"

“One with six senses, two with five senses.” The woman in red replied, “The Wilderness Ranger left behind Qin’s wanted poster.”

"Are you trying to say that this corpse of Liu Jue is the wanted criminal Qin Zhi?" Fei Xue narrowed her eyes.

“Uncertain, but highly probable,” the woman in red replied. “Furthermore, one of his accomplices escaped, most likely another wanted criminal, Liu Sheng.”

Feixue nodded slightly: "Liu Sheng on the Netherworld Path is a bit troublesome. However, I have many tracking experts among my teammates, so perhaps we can find some clues."

"That would be perfect." The woman in red nodded.

"But at the same time, we still have to be wary of the Wilderness Ranger. Regardless of whether this psionicist is Qin Zhi or not, he is an unstable factor." Fei Xue looked at the deep marks in the mountains and forests, her eyes flashing with apprehension and fear: "This arrow was too strong and also carried the power of chaos."

Even though the blue flames in the deep scars had been extinguished, the lingering chaotic power still made her tremble with fear.

"The power of chaos?" The woman in red's expression changed slightly.

“That’s right. You might not be able to perceive it because you have five senses. But I can clearly feel that terrifying power coming from the depths of the Void Realm.” Fei Xue said, “It is rumored that some of the Wilderness Rangers worship the Fifth God of Chaos. It seems to be true.”

"The Wilderness Ranger is a Chaos follower?" The man in red frowned. "But why would a Chaos follower assassinate Qin Zhi? In a way, they should be on the same side."

"Who knows?" Feixue said calmly.

Meanwhile, the members she brought with her have scattered nearby, trying to find traces of Yagyu.

One of the night watchmen noticed a drop of blood on a blade of grass. Without making a sound, he broke the grass in two.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away...

A figure jumped out of the garbage truck and, with a strange movement, blended into an old house.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, but a smile appeared on his face.

"How does it feel to be killed by the very people you killed?" he grinned.

The little girl, who was pinching her nose, said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, didn't you say those bronze arrows were very precious? Why did you just use them up like that?"

In the little girl's mind, the uncle prayed to those copper arrows every day.

That must have been something very important and precious. Yet it was used up without hesitation.

This was something she couldn't understand at such a young age.

“No matter how precious something is, if it’s useless, then it has no value. Have you forgotten? Those five dollars were your last asset, yet you were willing to give them all up to ask me to avenge you. It’s the same principle.”

“And Qin Zhi is a suitable target. If used on others, it might not be so terrifyingly powerful. We Wilderness Rangers have been silent for too long. It’s time to let those criminals and oppressors who have escaped punishment know that we have returned. May those who died unjustly rest in peace,” the man replied.

The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

The man sighed, then went into the bathroom and washed away the grime.

After changing into clean clothes, he carefully took out a wooden box from under the bed.

Inside the wooden box were two bronze arrows.
This is a blessing from the gods, a blessing bestowed upon him by the Lord of Azure Flames who walks on the sea of ​​black mud!
Those were his faith and followers. That invincible, great being.

"Qin Zhi, a wanted criminal, actually managed to sneak into this giant city without being discovered by the authorities. Heh heh. It seems there are still people in the city worth shooting an arrow at," the man muttered.

Meanwhile, within the manor
Li Yelai looked at Cheng Mei in shock: "You said...you found Liu Sheng??" "Yes, sir!" Cheng Mei replied in a low voice: "Our people found her. She was seriously injured, and she lost her left hand and left foot. She was already unconscious in the distant jungle."

Li Yelai frowned: "Her identity may have been exposed, yet she still came to us. Is she trying to drag us down with her?"

"Please rest assured, sir," Cheng Mei said, "No one will be able to find us, and besides, she is an old friend of our master."

"Such a big thing has happened here, surely officials will be here soon?" Li Yelai asked.

"Don't worry, we'll handle it," Cheng Mei said.

Handle this properly. Damn it, is someone within the official ranks deliberately covering for them? Damn it!

Li Yelai wanted to use this opportunity to make the authorities discover the church.

Although this would be quite dangerous for Li Yelai himself, it would be a good way to thwart the church's conspiracy.

An ambush? They've been discovered beforehand; they'll just be crushed by the border guards!

"Where is Liu Sheng?" Li Yelai asked.

"We have taken her to an underground safe house and she is receiving emergency treatment."

"Take me to see this." Li Yelai stood up.

Soon, Li Yelai saw Liu Sheng in the basement.

As a psychic with six senses, she remained conscious after being rescued.

At this moment, she was lying in the hospital bed with only half of her left arm and half of her left thigh remaining.

The wound was wrapped in thick bandages, but blood was still seeping out from them.

As a psionicist of the Nether Path, this injury is likely fatal. He'll never be able to return to his peak.

"Lord Emperor, please avenge me! The attacker is a Wilderness Ranger, a follower of the Fifth God!" When Liu Sheng saw Li Yelai, he seemed somewhat agitated, his voice rising involuntarily: "Kill him! Please kill him for me! I am willing to dedicate everything to the Church! Please, you must kill him for me!"

Her eyes were filled with hatred. She was a beautiful and charming woman, but now she was as vicious as a mutilated demon!
“I will, Yagyu. The Blood God faction is inherently at odds with the Fifth God.” Li Yelai replied, “You should focus on recovering from your injuries first.”

At the same time, Li Yelai's fingers, which were in his pocket, turned the hands of his emotional pocket watch. The hands pointed to the sign of anger.

"Kill him! We must kill him! This beast dared to kill Qin Zhi, we must kill him!" Liu Sheng's emotions became increasingly agitated, his eyes bloodshot.

The bandaged wound reopened, and the IV needle broke off. Even psionic energy began to fluctuate.

This caused Cheng Mei and the other followers to change their expressions. The official investigators might be nearby. How dare you release spiritual energy fluctuations?

A safe house can indeed shield perception and psionic fluctuations, but it can't stop a six-sense psionicist from going berserk and wreaking havoc.

If any fluctuations leak out and are detected by the processor, then we're doomed!
If you're looking to die, don't drag us down with you!
"Inject the sedative! Quickly!" Cheng Mei shouted.

The church's medical staff frantically tried to restrain Yagyu. But even with her disability, she was a six-sense psychic.

Her physical strength was so high that it took three or four members of the cult to barely hold her down.

They tried to administer a sedative, but found that the needle couldn't penetrate her psionic barrier at all.

It wasn't until Cheng Mei stepped forward and struck Liu Sheng on the neck with a chop, knocking her unconscious, that Liu Sheng finally calmed down completely.

“Her emotions are a bit unstable, let her sleep first,” Li Yelai said.

Cheng Mei nodded in agreement.

Li Yelai secretly regretted not being able to make Liu Sheng die of anger.

However, he really didn't expect that Yagyu would come looking for him.

If I had known, I should have sent Little Mad King to intercept her beforehand.

They will not let her return to the church alive.

However, oh well, she can't escape it anyway.

If she escapes to another place and survives, Li Yelai really won't be able to do anything about her.

Now, lo and behold, he's walked right into a trap!
Afterwards, Li Yelai, who had returned to the ground of the manor, noticed the approaching psionicists.

They must have been following in Yagyu's footsteps, but soon they strayed onto a wrong path, crossing the manor and heading deeper into the mountains.

Meanwhile, numerous police cars entered the estate and began their investigation.

However, the church was not exposed because of the protection of its followers.

Even when psionicists stayed at the manor for a time, they failed to notice any flaws.

The church pre-arranged for some members to act as scapegoats, misleading and diverting much of the official attention.

However, Qin Zhi's identity was still officially verified.

Immediately, the authorities intensified their investigations and searches throughout the city, in pursuit of the escaped 'Yagyu'.

Even if there is a mole, it is impossible to take care of every place.

Some members of the lower strata have already been discovered.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhi's appearance alarmed Border City No. 3. As the biggest victim of the Fantasy Band incident, Border City No. 3 will send a large number of investigators to Border City No. 2 to assist in the investigation.

This caused great anxiety within the Church of the Embers.

That very night, Fenxiao, who had not shown his face for a long time, arrived at the manor.

"I never expected something like this to happen," Fen Xiao said.

“Yes, Qin is dead, and Liu Sheng is crippled. It has even alarmed Border City No. 3,” Li Yelai replied. “This operation probably can’t proceed normally.”

The church's plan was precisely to take advantage of the period of weakness that Mo Chen, the overlord of the second border city, experienced when he was promoted to the supreme level.

Now, because of Qin's exposure, the giant city is on high alert. Furthermore, the main force from the third border city will arrive in two days.

At that point, they will have no chance at all.

"What a pity, what a pity! It seems this time..." Fen Xiao sighed.

However, at this moment, Cheng Mei rushed over, not even bothering to bow, and said, "Lord Fenxiao, Lord Diyun. We have received definite intelligence!"

"The five legions of the second border city went into complete silence this morning, suspected to have been redeployed! Meanwhile, the scouts on missions elsewhere..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yelai and Fen Xiao clearly felt a powerful pressure from the Void Realm.

That oppressive aura seemed to sweep across the entire Void Realm, announcing his arrival to the entire Void Realm!

Even giant cities and forbidden zones thousands of miles away felt the changes in the virtual realm.

That's the fluctuation of ascending to the Supreme Realm!
Normally, Li Yelai would naturally applaud the supreme human being.

But now, Li Yelai was furious.

Damn it, why is it such a coincidence?
It was so close! We almost got the church to abandon the plan! Then we could have given those beasts a good beating! Why... why today of all days?

"How could this be?" Fen Xiao suddenly stood up. "It's tonight? You, Mo Chen Overlord, you actually managed to fool even my spies!"

"Command all teams to commence operations, breach the high walls, and unleash the carnage!"
