Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, letās hurry and leave, we canāt stay in Longxing Prefecture anymore."
Chen Jie raised his hand after hearing this and said, "Donāt rush, keep calm, itās easy to make mistakes when youāre in a hurry. Xiao Hu, you ask the shop owner to bring some snacks and tea, letās eat and chat."
Zhao Ya said, "How can you be so relaxed, eating at a time like this!"
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Man is made of steel, food is iron; missing even one meal makes one hungry. We canāt let anything delay our meals!"
Speaking, Chen Jie then tapped on the table without saying a word.
His mind was racing at this time. Chen Jie was thinking about a few questions, first, how is the Ruyang King now.
If the Ruyang King is involved in this operation, then surely I canāt escape, with fifty thousand White Deer Army under his command surrounding the city, who can get away?
Not to mention myself, even that Kudu Monk probably wonāt be able to.
The next issue is how to detoxify this Heavenly Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder.
Then thereās whether my escape route is safe.
These thoughts were swirling in Chen Jieās head, realizing he lacked the corresponding intelligence.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie directly activated his long-unused intelligence system, which he hadnāt used since coming out of Miao Territory.
[Intelligence System Updated (Level 4)]
The intelligence system panel popped up, and Chen Jieās eyes suddenly changed; the intelligence system had upgraded from level three to level four.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie directly opened the intelligence system to check for any new changes inside.
Upon checking, indeed, there were new changes.
That is from the original three directive intelligence pieces, upgraded to four, although the cooldown time didnāt change specifically.
Still, ten days per cooldown.
Chen Jie looked at the intelligence panel and began inputting the specific intelligence he needed.
[1. Your directive intelligence is, the movements of the Ruyang King; intelligence received: the Ruyang King is trapped in the Ruyang Royal Mansion.]
Chen Jie was stunned after asking the first piece of intelligence; how did the Ruyang King get trapped, what happened in there?
Thinking, Chen Jie immediately inquired about the second piece of intelligence.
[2. Your directive intelligence is, who trapped the Ruyang King; intelligence received: the Ruyang King is trapped in Ruyang Royal Mansion by Yuan Sanjia and Master Kudu together.]
Yuan Sanjia.
Chen Jieās eyes lit up; he never expected this old guy to come to Longxing Prefecture; this is good.
Chen Jie felt assured in his heart, having a reliable backing now, the relationship between Yuan Sanjia and himself is quite good. Back then in Mianshui County, the two of them watched Qiao Hongyan bathing, cough cough...
Well, their relationship is more than just that. Itās known that Chen Jie is seen by Yuan Sanjia as a future hero who will disturb the land.
Yuan Sanjia, being a promoter of change in the world, how could he not have a good relationship with Chen Jie?
Thinking thus, Chen Jie felt confident, with Yuan Sanjia, the third in the world, and the fifth-ranked Kudu Monk, handling a Ruyang King wouldnāt be a breeze.
Chen Jie started to calculate; if the Ruyang King is trapped, the top combatants on both sides are immobile.
Then who can move outside? Chen Jie thought of Song Yuanqiao; yes, when these top fighters in the world are immobile, Hero Song, ranking second on the Earth List and twelfth in the world, can stand out.
Calculating the possible combat force outside, firstly on the Jianghu side, thereās Hero Song, and Qiu Nan from the Divine Dragon Sect. Although Qiu Nanās skills are unknown, Hero Song is definitely formidable.
Then on the Royal Mansion side, with the Ruyang King trapped, the forces that can be utilized are Master Wuxiang under him and an unknown Molten Furnace Realm expert.
Two from Jianghu, and two from the Royal Mansion side; but with Song Yuanqiao present, given Song Yuanqiaoās combat power, he might take on two.
And the Royal Mansion side is weaker; Chen Jie even suspects if there are other Molten Furnace Realm experts trapped inside the mansion.
Thinking thus, Chen Jie inquired about the intelligence again.
[3. Your directive intelligence is, how many Molten Furnace Realm experts are trapped inside the Ruyang Royal Mansion; intelligence received: besides Master Wuxiang, there are no other people.]
Chen Jie received this intelligence, eyes lit up; Master Wuxiang is trapped, meaning the only usable Molten Furnace Realm expert is the unknown one at the Royal Mansion.
Of course, this is known, but itās unclear whether the Ruyang King invited other helpers; these are indeed variables.
Overall, as long as the Ruyang King is trapped in the mansion, Song Yuanqiao becomes the strongest combat force outside.
Then I should stand on the Jianghu side, thus ensuring my safety, and now thereās a good opportunity too.
Yes, itās the Ruyang Kingās grand scheme, using Wu Muās Legacy as bait to attract heroes worldwide, then poisoning them with Heavenly Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder.
And if I manage to solve this Soft Tendon Powder toxin, wouldnāt I bestow favor upon these Jianghu heroes?
Others wouldnāt know, but if the Wudang Sect accepts this favor from me, then itās definitely a big win for me.
Especially in this Longxing Prefecture, if I save the people of Wudang, wonāt they regard me as a friend? Thus, when Song Yuanqiao fights his way out, wouldnāt he take me along? Even if the Royal Mansion sends Molten Furnace experts to trouble me.
Song Yuanqiao can help fend them off.
