Chapter 105
When he left through the fan door, Yu Kai was waiting outside for him with a lowered head. He couldn’t tell what he was thinking. His expression was very serious. Seeing him come out, Yu Kai suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
He raised an eyebrow, laughing slightly, “What’s the matter, seen a ghost?”
Yu Kai frowned and said, “Don’t tell me that you haven’t realised you’ve condensed into a physical body?”
“......” Fan Yuan raised his arm and eyed it. Precisely so – his previously translucent body had now condensed into flesh and blood. The delicate and white skin was suffused with a faint white shimmer that disappeared in a turn of the eye.
At first he was a little surprised, but finally he shook his head helplessly. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, “Really don’t know what to do with him.”
Yan Rui had ended up abusing his personal privileges in attempts to help level Fan Yuan up, but previously, they couldn’t tell that it failed because Fan Yuan hadn’t recovered his memories. The essence of a spiritual body was its memory. Only when its memory was concrete, not being able to disappear, would a spiritual body form. Fan Yuan had erased part of his memory before, so his spiritual body was incomplete. No matter how hard he tried to level up, a day never came where there was a breakthrough as an incomplete spiritual body was not equipped with the ability to condense.
Currently, it seems that he had levelled up too much as it had led to an overflow of spiritual power. No wonder Yan Rui had repeatedly urged him day after day to go to the S-level database to check his memories, he was actually planning towards this.
Fan Yuan explained it simply in a few sentences to Yu Kai, and then he asked, “Something has happened outside, right? You look very worried?”
Yu Kai nodded and said solemnly, “I just got word that Li Yanlong seems to have gotten injured. Ever since he became the Chief Law Enforcer, he hasn’t been injured. The issue this time round is probably not very simple.”
Li Yanlong had gotten injured? The Chief Law Enforcer’s abilities should be second only to Yan Rui. Previously in the cultivation plane, he had wielded a godly tool and even blocked Yan Rui’s attack. It could be seen that his strength was not to be underestimated. Such a person would not get wounded easily. It seems that things were not entirely within Yan Rui’s control.
The higher a person’s position was, the more likely they were to fall. This was because they tended to underestimate their enemies and show contempt for their opponent to the point that they barely paid any attention to the battle. What they hardly knew was that this was the most likely way to lead to death. As someone who had transformed from an orphan who had absolutely nothing to a globally-known criminal who wanted with a bounty on his head, he knew this set of rules better than anyone else.
Fan Yuan said anxiously, “What is the situation outside now? Be more specific.”
“The Main God went over to the northern city area where the rebel faction had gathered, planning to catch all of them by himself and suppress the rebellion. It was a surprise attack to begin with, so the other party shouldn’t have any knowledge of it, but now three of the five rebel senior law enforcers have appeared in the central city area one after another. Li Yanlong has also gotten injured, so the situation has become even more dangerous.”
Fan Yuan furrowed his brows, “If Yan Rui is aware that there’s a scheme, he’ll definitely rush back. Since he hasn’t come back even till now, he’s probably caught up with someone, or......”
“Or what?”
Fan Yuan gave him a little smile and comforted him, “Nothing much.”
Truth be told, he wanted to say that according to Yan Rui’s personality, if he finds out that there was a scheme, he would probably be extremely happy and think that the battle was finally a bit interesting. In order to achieve the kind of stimulation he wanted, it wasn’t impossible that he deliberately delayed his arrival. He was definitely in no danger since he was hiding in the S-level database anyway, and as for the life or death of others, Yan Rui couldn’t give a damn.
However, he couldn’t tell Yu Kai this, if not he’d probably go crazy from anger......
“Yu Kai, bring me out first, to a place outside where the tighter the battle, the better.”
Yu Kai furrowed his brows, but seeing his insistence, he finally nodded and agreed.
Along the way, Yu Kai introduced the situation of the enemies, “There are a total of five senior law enforcers in this rebellion, among which the leader is Mo Tianhe, the oldest senior law enforcer besides Li Yanlong. He’s different from that wooden block Li Yanlong. He’s good at socialising and roping in people’s hearts, most of the law enforcement department has a great relationship with him......”
Fan Yuan had heard of this name ‘Mo Tianhe’ before. Wasn’t this person the one who secretly schemed against Yan Rui at the beginning? After waiting for Yu Kai to finish his introductions, Fan Yuan asked, “I heard Yan Rui killed his younger brother?”
Yu Kai nodded, then shook his head again. He said, complicated, “That matter happened before I came here. I’m unclear of the specifics of the situation, but in my opinion, the Main God’s decision was not wrong.”
Back in the day, Mo Tianhe’s younger brother, Mo Tianxing, was also one of the senior law enforcers. This man was different from Mo Tianhe who was modest and prudent. He was arrogant and cruel, being infamously known as a tough nut to crack in the source world. Most people would not be willing to cross blades with him, because once they lost the fight, they couldn’t even die with dignity, merely being reduced to ashes.
Later on, an unknown lad had arrived in the source world. This person had executed countless missions where he had to play the BOSS. During this period, he managed to refine the godly tool of the soul-collecting banner, and obtained the right to live in the source world. When he came here, he directly went to challenge Mo Tianxing.
The soul-collecting banner went against Mo Tianxing’s exorcising zither. Everyone urged him to not accept the challenge because once he was defeated, there was no way to turn back. This had been the case for millions of years, and there was no exception.
But the thing was that Mo Tianxing had always been conceited. Where was the logic if he did not answer to a little nameless pawn’s provocations? So he stubbornly insisted on taking on the fight alone, and finally met with a miserable defeat.
After that, Yan Rui, despite Mo Tianhe’s pleads, personally took away Mo Tianxing’s senior law enforcer title and his life. This was the sole and last pride and dignity of a law enforcer, it could not be violated.
It was difficult to tell who was right or wrong in this matter. As the Main God, there were rules and regulations that Yan Rui had to maintain. There were also no grounds for blame in Mo Tianhe, as the older brother, taking revenge for his younger blood brother. Instead, if Mo Tianxing had died in the hands of the challenger at the very start, things would have been much better. The intrinsic essence of dying in a battle versus dying after losing a battle was different.
A flash went across Fan Yuan’s eyes as he abruptly grasped Yu Kai’s wrist, speaking seriously, “I ask you, was Yuan Chengwei the person who defeated Mo Tianxing?”
Yu Kai nodded, “It was him. What’s wrong?”
Fan Yuan saw that Yu Kai still had a face of confusion, and he patted Yu Kai’s frustratedly. Finally, he spoke in all earnestness, “In view of the fact that we’ve gotten acquainted with each other, I’ll remind you this. That person Yuan Chengwei is too insidious. You should stay away from him in the future, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”
Yu Kai couldn’t understand it even after pondering over it, so he pressed for more answers, “What do you mean by that? Is this matter related to him?”
Fan Yuan said, “Is it required to have Li Yanlong’s official paperwork to enter the S-level database?”
Seeing him nod, Fan Yuan continued asking, “If a person of the kind of level of a senior law enforcer went to the actual world, would he be pursued and captured back immediately?”
Yu Kai said, “Of course, at least three senior law enforcers will go together to pursue that person to ensure that they’re caught, but this time it’s because......”
Fan Yuan continued his sentence, “This time it’s because the law enforcement department has fallen into unprecedented chaos. Half of the senior law enforcers have rebelled, and the rest of the enforcers have their hands full. They have no energy to pursue him. That’s why Yuan Chengwei can wander about freely in the actual world. Don’t you think there’s any problem with that?”
Yu Kai furrowed his brows, somewhat disbelieving, “You mean, all this trouble is caused by him?”
Fan Yuan said, “When he came to the source world, he must have looked carefully into the ten senior law enforcers and did something to one of them, leading to their infighting. The law enforcers have gotten along with each other for so many years, feelings are bound to arise through their interactions with one another.”
“If I were him, first, there are three people I would target. The first is Xi Miao, because Bai Xi would rebel if she died. The second is Yinyue. As you’ve just explained, Hughes and Ye Chuan both seem to adore her, so they would definitely be resentful. However, these two aren’t as good as Mo Tianxing, because he was the most impulsive and conceited. He would, with a hundred percent certainty, take on the fight.”
“It’s basic etiquette to let one’s opponent die in battle, but he deliberately let him go and let the people from the law enforcement department kill him. Although Yan Rui was the one who finally ended him, the effect was still the same. Don’t you think that this man has deep schemes?”
Yu Kai said, “But how could he have been sure that he would win? Mo Tianxing’s strength was not small.”
Fan Yuan shook his head, “Since he dared to set up this trap, he must’ve had the mindset that he had a slim chance of survival. It seems that there is something he can’t let go of in the actual world, otherwise he wouldn’t have put his life on the line just to go back.”
Yu Kai scoffed, “He played everyone into the palm of his hand. When this matter is resolved, the law enforcement department will never let him go. Even just for returning to the actual world without permission, it’s already enough......”
Fan Yuan immediately knew that Yu Kai was worried when he heard his words. He smiled, “Anyway you’ll help him right? You two seem to have a good relationship, and the fair and impartial Li-daren listens to your every word.”
Yu Kai was slightly embarrassed for a moment, and said in a low voice. “Why do I feel like you seem to be different?”
Fan Yuan laughed without saying a word. Soon, they arrived at the main battlefield. As expected, the fighting was fierce. Half of the senior law enforcers were leading a large number of elite troops with advanced weaponry. It was a bit of a close fight between the two sides.
Li Yanlong instantly appeared beside the two of them, and there was a trace of smile in his never-fluctuating expression.
“As expected, you really worry about me, otherwise you wouldn’t have come right away after hearing that I got hurt.”
Yu Kai didn’t speak. He measured him up and down with a cold expression and asked, “Where have you gotten injured, why can’t I see it?”
Li Yanlong quickly stretched out his right hand for him to see, pointing to the inch-long bloody scratch at the area between his thumb and index finger. He said in a very serious tone, “Look, it’s bleeding and all.”
Yu Kai: “......” Mother, really wanna cut someone!
Fan Yuan covered his face, not wanting to see it. This was his second time seeing the idol he’d once worshipped. Although he wasn’t the first time he was in this kind of smart style that could strike one with thunder, it made people feel even more embarrassed!
The two people on the other side were still having an awkward exchange, but Fan Yuan felt that something was off. It seems that since he’d appeared, all the firepower had been focused to the side where he was, and this firepower was vaguely encroaching closer. But it was just that Li Yanlong didn’t seem to look anxious, so there shouldn’t be a big problem.
“Xiao Wu, are you alright now?”
“Because Master’s levelling speed was too fast, this system is currently trying to update. Temporarily can’t provide any help, may Master please find a safe area to seek cover for yourself.”
Fan Yuan looked at the lasers and laser-based weapons firing toward him from all directions and thought in his heart, where he could hide? Of course it was still the safest to be by the Chief Law Enforcer’s side. He sighed as if he was exercising some authority of an elder, “Did I want to come to such a place? If I get shot, it will hurt even if I don’t die, okay! But in order to force Yan Rui to come back, it can only be like this, otherwise it’ll lead to more casualties.”
Li Yanlong wielded his Qiankun fan to block the wave of attacks. He said in a flat tone, “As expected of you, Dan Wen, to have such awareness. After the war, I will apply for a “Service of Heroic Dedication” trophy for you so that you can become a resident of the source world. Take care.”
With that, he took Yu Kai and speedily fled to someplace else as Fan Yuan watched on with stunned eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was surrounded by nearly half of the fighters and elite soldiers on the battlefield. Even if he could fly freely in the sky or conceal himself in the ground, he couldn’t escape. He was instantly infuriated as he scolded, “Li Yanlong, f*ck you!!!”
