With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 77 Identity Exposed, Master Luo in Ambush

"The man in the top hat told me that this was a demonic art, using the example of a human demon, and repeatedly emphasized the dangers of the [Thunder Seed]. So his purpose was obvious."

"He wants to turn me against him."

"He asked me to keep it a secret and contact him later, probably because he wanted me to be an informant or something. His goal was to get some information from me, or something that he couldn't do but that I could do in my capacity."

After summarizing, Meng Chuan gradually came to a clear understanding.

"The man in the top hat is weaker than Master Luo, but he has a grudge against Master Luo and wants to harm him."

Or perhaps Master Luo possesses some treasure that he covets, and he wants me to act as his inside man, using my position to harm Master Luo.

With that thought in mind, Meng Chuan made the call directly.

[Master Luo, are you asleep?]

[What's wrong? Spit it out! I've been working hard all night because of you.]

That's spot on! The man in the top hat is talking complete nonsense and acting like a fool.

Master Luo, do you have any enemies?

[The kind of person who can't beat you but wants to kill you, or who's eyeing what treasures you have.]

【What the heck? Why are you asking me this so late at night instead of sleeping?】

Meng Chuan briefly explained what had happened that night.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Guanyun was very pleased to hear this.

"I knew I hadn't spoiled you for nothing. Give me the phone number he gave you tomorrow, I'll have Long Jiu try to locate it, then we'll just fly over and kill you."

Meng Chuan was speechless; his master was indeed a reckless man.

[Master Luo, the other party is very likely someone we know. Even if we can successfully locate them, what if we alert them? They've just shown themselves from the shadows; now is the perfect time to take them down.]

"You little rascal, you've got some tricks up your sleeve. Let me think of who I have a grudge against."

After a moment, Luo Guanyun said with a smirk:
There are quite a few, too many to count. But most of them aren't serious enough to kill me; it's mostly just disputes over martial arts resources.

[As for demonic martial artists, my attitude is always to exterminate them completely, leaving no loose ends. As for any distant relatives or friends who might want revenge, I have no idea.]

The clues seemed to have gone cold again. Meng Chuan frowned, his mind racing with thoughts that were about to explode.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Guanyun rolled out of bed, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and continued speaking into the phone:

[Stop researching. We're all about hands-on skills; we're definitely lacking when it comes to thinking.]

【Move in here tomorrow morning, and bring your uncle and aunt too. That top hat guy? I'll see if he dares to come!】

Meng Chuan felt a warmth in his heart, but it was still inconvenient, and being constantly watched by the other party was not a good thing, as it would affect his martial arts practice.

Taking refuge at Master Luo's house would be a poor choice for everyone in the house. After a moment's thought, Meng Chuan replied:

[Let me think about it some more, Mr. Luo. If we can't move by tomorrow morning, then we'll move!]

Meng Chuan thought to himself:

"Compared to fate, there's nothing we can do no matter how inconvenient it is."

Okay, I'll hang up now. I'll think about which jerk it might be. Call me tomorrow morning when they're moving, and I'll keep an eye on things.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan began brainstorming.

He continued to expand his target, frantically recalling all the people and events he had interacted with since he obtained the certificate and gained power.

"In other words, starting from the time I became an apprentice, who were the people who approached me with ulterior motives?"

After breaking through the limit, he first beat up Wang Yue, but Wang Yue immediately dismissed the idea and continued thinking.

"Sister Liu Ruru, who I often spar with?"

"No, putting aside the possibility of malice in her intentions, in terms of strength alone, it's impossible for her to create a vortex out of thin air and disappear."

"If it's true, then it's been hidden very well. Uncertain."

"Then there's Uncle Bai from the Martial Arts Association."

"That's unlikely. He's Professor Luo's old classmate, and Professor Luo has a very close relationship with him. There's no reason for him to use me to harm him."

Then the principal also thought it was impossible, judging it to be too well hidden, and put it on hold.

He lay in bed, gradually calming down and slowly reflecting on his journey of growth.

Next, I went to the police station to receive the award, where I ran into Brother Fang.

"Brother Fang is the head of the Skynet Department, a highly educated returnee from overseas. I even blamed him back then because the Skynet malfunctioned, which led to the tragedy in Tongjia Lane."

"Skynet is malfunctioning, wait!"

Suddenly!

Meng Chuan felt every hair on his body stand on end, and he instantly sprang up from the bed.

"Fang Jianxing is the head of the Skynet Department and knows the operation of Skynet inside and out. Could he possibly have the ability to make it quietly malfunction?"

At the time, I was caught up in the situation and didn't think about it that much, but now that I think about it carefully, I realize it is indeed a suspicious point.

"Later, Fang Jianxing took the initiative to exchange contact information with me, and I thought to myself that he was quite enthusiastic."

At the time, Meng Chuan didn't think too much about it, but now, looking back...

Why is a mere 16-year-old kid being so enthusiastic towards a minister-level official?
"Just because I was involved in the incident of 'encountering the Heavenly Demon in Tongjia Lane, leading to the repair of the Heavenly Net,' and served as the catalyst?"

If Meng Chuan put himself in the other person's shoes, he would at most express his gratitude and offer some encouragement.

Later, when the other person came to the martial arts school to practice boxing, I taught him stance training.

“That’s not right. He doesn’t show the slightest trace of martial arts training.”

"No matter how well they hide, demonic martial artists still need to practice stance training; it's impossible for them not to know how to do stance training."

The upper limit of one's Qi and blood is determined by the progress of stance training; this is one of the truths of martial arts. "Could it be that his acting is just too convincing?"

Meng Chuan was a little unsure, and his mind raced as he continued to think.

His train of thought got stuck again. He lay in bed, analyzing frame by frame what else had happened that day.

"When he left, he emphasized again that he studied psychology and wanted me to come to him?"

It's a point of suspicion, and Meng Chuan is now starting to think that Master Luo and Chief Inspector Long Jiu should take action.

"After I saw him off, nothing else happened. I went straight back to the martial arts school."

"Wang Yue seems to have jumped out and ambushed me, so I hit him."

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan felt a pang of anxiety and, disregarding the late hour, immediately made the call.

After dialing four or five times, the call was finally answered.

[Fatty! Wake up! I need to ask you something.]

[Holy crap, you're calling me, bro! Tell me!]

Wang Yue got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and forced himself to turn on the computer.

[Last year, one afternoon, when I returned to the martial arts gym, were you hiding behind the door trying to ambush me, but I spotted you?]

【.】

Wang Yue was a little confused; why was he asking this in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Think it over carefully, it's very important.

Seeing the serious tone in Brother Chuan's voice, Wang Yue immediately became serious and carefully recalled the events.

A moment later, Wang Yue remembered.

[Brother Chuan, it seems there is such a thing. You even told me something about us having a thick barrier.]

Okay, I got it. Go to sleep early, Fatty.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan felt that he was almost certain that the man in the top hat was Fang Jianxing!
"When Fang Jianxing came to the martial arts school that day, he patted me on the back to say hello. I didn't realize it until after I was patted, and I had no premonition at all."

"When I was taking him back to the martial arts school, Wang Yue attacked me from behind. I had a premonition at that moment."

"His enthusiasm towards me and his initiative to get closer to me, if they only increase suspicion, are enough to put him out of the picture."

"How could an ordinary person, even less capable than Wang Yue, possibly evade my senses?"

With time running out, Meng Chuan quickly told Master Luo about his discovery.

Upon hearing this, Luo Guanyun, though puzzled, scratched his head on the other end of the phone and asked in confusion:
I don't know Fang Jianxing. Does this kid have a grudge against me or something?

Alright, then you don't need to worry about it anymore. Just leave it to me.

The next morning.

Coastal Golden Villa Community.

Sunlight streamed onto the villa, and ivy climbed all over the iron railings surrounding it.

Behind the bushes to the side stood two burly middle-aged men wearing sunglasses; they were Luo Guanyun and Long Jiu.

Having not slept all night, Long Jiu looked somewhat haggard and muttered softly:

"Is it really him? That bastard really hid it well."

Last night, Lung Kau was busy handling the follow-up work of the human demon case.

Although the demon has been killed, it remains difficult to understand how his student became a demon.

After hearing Luo Guanyun's story, although he was somewhat skeptical, he still came along.

"Let's make it clear first, let's test the waters. If we're wrong and Fang Jianxing is just an ordinary person, I won't be able to cover it up."

"I know, I've said it a hundred times, isn't it annoying?"

Luo Guanyun was already impatient, and now he was getting a little impatient.

"When do you think Fang Jianxing will come back? Did he realize we were coming and run away?"

Long Jiu rubbed his tired eyes and whispered:
"Stop guessing. According to the surveillance footage, no matter if he stays up all night doing experiments or does something else that keeps him out all night, he always comes home to sleep for a while before 10 a.m. the next morning. Be patient."

Although Luo Guanyun remained silent after hearing this, he was still somewhat agitated.

Just then, the roar of a car engine came from afar.

A black sedan stopped in front of the villa. The driver deftly opened the car door and got out, then went around to the back of the car and gently opened the rear door.

Upon seeing this, Luo Guanyun instantly perked up.

Said in a low voice:

"Bald Dragon, is that him?"

Long Jiu squinted and carefully examined it.

"That's right, it's Fang."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Guanyun's aura exploded instantly.

"Don't rush!"

Ignoring all this, Luo Guanyun suddenly noticed dark clouds appearing in the bright daylight sky, churning rapidly like boiling ink.

In an instant, a blinding golden bolt of lightning struck down from the clouds. The lightning exploded, and a majestic lightning dragon surged forth.

Its body was made of pure lightning energy, which coiled and locked Fang Jianxing in place, and the air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.
