Chapter 1314: Chapter 731: The Path to Godhood (Part 3)
Jindai Yunlo frowned and said, "Will there be another battle? I canât make it from the north."
Qing Chen suddenly looked at Jindai Yunlo with a faint smile, "Are you worried about me?"
Jindai Yunlo raised an eyebrow, "I just think there might be a chance to get the eyeballs."
He hadnât expected that Qing Chen would use his own tactic against him.
Jindai Yunlo said, "Not bad, surviving after crossing paths with a Demigod."
Qing Chen shook his head, "Chen Yuâs strength is terrifying, heâs already at the pinnacle of a Demigod. We four A-Class couldnât do anything to one of his paintings, and we were all severely injured just to barely disable one of them."
Jindai Yunlo nodded and said, "When I took a blow from him, I realized, this Demigod is blessed by Zhi Lanxing and became the youngest Demigod, we canât afford to provoke him now. If I gather all the eyes for the Hundred-Eyed Demon and also advance to Demigod, possessing twelve Demigod shikigami, maybe we could fight him."
"Not necessarily," Qing Chen shook his head, "He lost many paintings, now he probably only has a few paintings left to protect himself, otherwise, I wouldnât have made it back alive. I support you in gathering the eyes and challenging him, heâs not that frightening."
Jindai Yunlo laughed, "Youâre trying to trick me into taking the hit, have some conscience!"
Qing Chen forced a smile, "Iâll go with you."
Jindai Yunloâs lips curved slightly, "Thatâs more like it."
Yangyang pouted, "You guys should stop it already, Iâm still here."
Jindai Yunlo: "..."
Beside him, Yangyang was checking Qing Chenâs injuries, "Your Life Field is weakened by eighty percent, Chen Yu is really something. Youâve sustained such heavy injuries, maybe we should leave. We donât want to become targets for the Kingdom, the future, or Deer Island."
Qing Chen fell silent, actually, this was his greatest crisis at the moment.
Demigods of the Inner World are eyeing him, and in the Outer World, three conglomerates want him dead.
He said, "Weâve already been targeted, leaving is not an option, weâll handle whatever comes our way. We still have one more thing to resolve."
After speaking, he turned and walked out of the room, heading towards President Liuâs room.
Last time he returned, the poisoning incident with President Liu and his wife at Red Scenery was yet to be dealt with.
In fact, both of them were always spies for Deer Island, monitored by Ni Ergou, and President Liuâs company had been secretly providing domestic funds to Deer Islandâs spy organization.
So when they suddenly signed up for the climbing team, Zheng Yuandong informed Qing Chen.
It was also because these two saw the Reverse Breathing Art Ice streaks on Qing Chenâs face that Deer Island and the Kingdomâs Suicide Squad decided to make a move.
Qing Chen used the Power Tail Ring to unlock the door, only to find that President Liuâs wife had turned to dust, scattered all over the floor, while President Liu was on the ground, crying and gathering the ashes together.
He calmly said, "So it turns out, only one of you was the Time Traveler."
Qing Chen didnât get poisoned at Red Scenery, which meant the coupleâs identities were already exposed long ago.
During the seven days of being away, knowing they lost their value, Deer Island wouldnât give Qing Chen a chance to interrogate any insiders, they directly killed President Liuâs wife.
President Liu cried, "I kept saying we shouldnât come, but she said there was someone in the Inner World threatening her life, and sheâd die if we didnât come. Sheâs never killed anyone, so why come here! She said there was a conglomerate called Deer Island wanting to kill you, not just her, many people are ready to kill you!"
Qing Chen asked calmly, "I thought your relationship wasnât deep, you werenât very on good terms before, so why are you so sad now?"
Qing Chen thought there was another possibility: both were Time Travelers, and after Deer Island was exposed, they chose to eliminate one person, and let the other gain trust and provide misleading information.
President Liu sat powerlessly on the ground, "I married her before I started my business, back when we lived together in a small rental in Deep City, without even a place to shower. I was so poor then, I couldnât even afford a decent meal for her at our wedding, we just had beef hotpot by the roadside, I apologized, and she said it was fine... Going through tough times together, no matter how many issues now, that period is unforgettable."
President Liu continued, "Since she began traveling, we were both controlled, living every day in fear, not even able to sleep well..."
While speaking, President Liu suddenly pulled a gun from under the pillow, aimed it at his own chin, and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
President Liu was stunned, the bullet had been fired, yet it didnât pierce his skull, instead, it hit the wall alongside the gun!
The moment he pulled the trigger, Qing Chen had already activated Wuju, a huge magnetic field made the gun and bullet deviate, as if glued to the wall.
Once he retracted the magnetic field of Wuju, the gun fell to the ground.
Qing Chen calmly asked, "Why the suicide attempt?"
President Liu said blankly, "My wife said if she died after returning, I should also commit suicide to avoid interrogation by you, otherwise our son would be assassinated."
Qing Chen shook his head, "Donât worry, those who are after Deer Islandâs domestic spies should have already surrounded them, they wonât have time to harm your son now. From now on, honestly follow me on the climb, I have many questions for you. Donât try to escape, if you do, it wonât just be death youâd face. If anyone asks, say your wife had high-altitude sickness and went to Kathmandu."
Saying this, Qing Chen returned to the room, Jindai Yunlo praised, "That was amazing, your ability to control has become more refined, even saving someone after the trigger was pulled."
Qing Chen sighed, "What a mess. By the way, do you guys from Jindai still have spies domestically? Give me the list, and Iâll wipe them out."
Jindai Yunlo chuckled, "Do I look like a fool to you?"
Qing Chen resisted the pain and slowly lay down on the bed, after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "People say, for middle-aged men, the three joys are promotion, wealth, and a dead wife. I didnât expect this Liu fellow to be so emotionally attached to his wife."
Jindai Yunlo laughed and said, "They say poverty tests a woman, wealth tests a man, and most people canât withstand these tests, which is why the divorce rate among successful men is as high as 95%."
Qing Chen looked at Jindai Yunlo and contemplated, "Arenât you going to sleep?"
Jindai Yunlo smiled, sitting cross-legged on the ground, starting his training, "Youâre so badly injured, as one of your Protectors, I need to stay here and guard you! Rest assured, I wonât make any noise."
Yangyang rolled her eyes.
