I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 75 - The battle has only just begun
75: The battle has only just begun.
75: The battle has only just begun.
After “Refining God Zuowang,” Lu Li’s sleeping time decreased even further.
Directly connecting to his subconscious for deep sleep, Lu Li only slept for three hours before getting up, bursting with energy. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
He went to the yard and glanced at the girls’ rooms.
The pressing matter of the day was to teach Wanqing martial arts.
Lu Li’s spirit perked up, ready to help at any moment!
He possessed “Body Follows the Will,” and his “White Dragon Whip Skill” had reached mastery.
Of course, he had to offer a helping hand!
Just then, the door opened, and Xiao Cha, dressed in uniform, walked out.
“What are you staring at~”
Seeing Lu Li zoning out in the yard, she picked up the thousand-pound millstone and tossed it over.
Amidst the terrifying “whoosh” of the stone cutting through the air, Lu Li’s gaze sharpened, freezing the millstone mid-flight.
With another push from his mind, he hurled the massive weight back to her.
With a thud, Xiao Cha stretched out her hands to catch the millstone, stepping back two feet and leaving half-foot-deep footprints.
“Competing in strength with martial artists is hardly cost-effective.”
Martial artists possess “cheap” muscle strength—plenty of it and fast to recover.
For cultivators to confront them head-on is indeed unwise.
Lu Li felt a surge of enthusiasm and pulled out a pen, reminding, “Watch out, Xiao Cha~”
The pen, cap still on, was hurled by Lu Li at Xiao Cha at a speed of 150 meters per second.
It was the speed of a military crossbow bolt, which normal people couldn’t react to.
But a Refining Organ Martial Artist is as robust as a tiger and as responsive as a big cat.
Xiao Cha swiftly dodged to the side while reaching out and snatching the pen in front of her chest.
Lu Li immediately shot out a second pen, which Xiao Cha also caught with ease.
The girl twirled the pen between her fingers, giggling,
“You just did ‘Zuowang.’ The things you shoot lack force and also flexibility~”
“Indeed,” Lu Li frowned.
“Cultivators’ combat power seems too low.
The spirit…
should be capable of much more.”
“Of course, there are spells.
Cultivators have to rely on spells to harness their power.”
Xiao Cha handed the pen back, and Lu Li casually caught it, saying, “Spells must be hard to come by, right?”
“Definitely, they’re the secret techniques of various sects.
But I have an idea~”
Xiao Cha blushed, speaking in a hushed voice,
“Remember Wang Siqi and the Wang family?
There are many treasures in their ancestral tomb!
If we dig those up, we’ll have everything~”
This man’s divine soul was still inside the Kunlun Mirror; of course, Lu Li remembered and was extremely interested, “Great, when shall we go?”
“The Wang Family’s Ancestral Tomb is underground, no small tomb at that.
We should prepare thoroughly~”
“Okay, let me know what you need, and I’ll find a way to get it.”
“We’ll dig up his ancestral tomb and I’ll snatch a couple of martial arts cultivation methods for myself too.”
…
The two discussed enthusiastically for a while when the door opened again, and Wanqing came out.
To practice martial arts, she wore a rare tight-fitting outfit that outlined her graceful figure.
But it also made the big Youzi even more glaring, proudly defying the planet’s gravity.
Lu Li found it hard to breathe and hastily took a few deep breaths to replenish his blood oxygen.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be helping this goddess doctor with her martial arts training.
But as the saying goes, whatever you fear will come to pass, something unexpected indeed happened.
At that moment, the courtyard door was knocked again—”Luo, it’s Old Zhong~ The Bureau is calling for you~”
It was still Old Zhong, and the call was exactly the same as before.
Wanqing hurriedly went back to her room, while Xiao Cha stepped forward to open the door.
After Old Zhong came in, he bowed and scraped,
“Last night, there was a big incident.
Ye Rongcheng and a foreign military officer were shot dead in the brothel.
The lease’s police are asking for our help in the investigation.”
“Is that so?”
Xiao Cha expressed a fitting hint of surprise, her acting flawless.
Old Zhong had no idea the real culprit was so close.
He was still muttering,
“The list of enemies of Ye Rongcheng could stretch from Jinmen all the way to Beijing.
That’s a lot to investigate…
Plus, last night, two more pregnant women disappeared, and I still have to patrol at night…
All the troubles seem to have come at once.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions on Xiao Cha and Lu Li’s faces changed instantly!
Lu Li asked, “Another pregnant woman has disappeared?”
With a sycophantic face, Old Zhong replied, “To report to Young Master Lu, at the South City Root, two peasants’ wives have gone missing.
It’s not that serious of a matter.”
Xiao Cha asked, “How did they disappear?”
Old Zhong answered, “Some brothers went to take a look.
It’s strange; there were no traces at all, the dogs hadn’t barked, and the people just vanished into thin air.”
Old Zhong paused for a moment before continuing,
“It doesn’t make sense for a powerful figure with such skills to abduct two peasant women.
Everyone guesses…
they might have run off with some men from outside town.”
“How many months pregnant were they?”
“At least six or seven months.”
“That’s almost due.
They couldn’t have run off on their own!”
Lu Li and Xiao Cha exchanged glances, suddenly thinking of a question—was it really the Yahang behind the abductions of the pregnant women…
Their early assumptions about Ye Rongcheng gathering pregnant women had led them astray!
Something came back to Xiao Cha, whose face turned pale in an instant.
She hurriedly put on her police cap and rushed out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~
After they left, Wanqing walked out of the house, her face full of seriousness,
“Three years ago, something similar happened in Jinmen, with pregnant women going missing one after another…
Xiao Cha’s father had found a clue, and then never returned.”
Lu Li’s expression was equally serious, “That means…
the cultivator who killed Xiao Cha’s father is back!”
Wanqing sighed and said,
“No one dared to handle the case back then, and there were very few clues.
It was only speculated that a cultivator was to blame.
After the incidents, the files were sealed away.
However, Chief Chen knows everything clear as day.
Xiao Cha will definitely go ask him…”
Wanqing’s guess was spot on.
At this moment, at the Third District Patrol Bureau in Jinmen.
Although several major incidents had happened, the government office was surprisingly calm.
Patrolmen strolled past, chatting and laughing, or gathering in small groups to smoke.
Xiao Cha’s face was tense as she made her way directly to the office of Chief Constable Chen Zhizhong.
Chief Chen was bent over signing documents.
When he saw her arrive, he slightly raised his eyebrows and then said indifferently,
“Come over.
There’s something I need you to do.
A group of prisoners need to be escorted to Zhen Ding Prefecture.
You go.”
Chief Chen meant well; traveling thousands of miles between the two places could help her avoid certain…
incidents.
Xiao Cha, with a stubborn look on her face, urgently said, “Uncle Chen, has that demon human returned?
How should we deal with it?”
This “Uncle Chen” was clearly trying to appeal to the familial bond of yesterday in her plea.
As to what she was pleading for, Xiao Cha didn’t know…
Looking at the calm Patrol Bureau, she had a foreboding feeling.
As expected, she saw Chief Chen sigh deeply and then say,
“If we had encountered a grand bandit, the experts from the Patrol Bureau, National Martial Arts Association, and Divine Heart Association would have already assembled to surround and annihilate them.
But now, it’s all quiet.
Do you know why?”
With her family background, Xiao Cha certainly knew and said with a pale face, “When a tiger comes to eat sheep, you just need to let go of a few that are old and weak.”
“Exactly,” Chief Chen nodded, saying calmly,
“The demon human acts within bounds, only abducting the poor and lowly.
The Inspection Department isn’t planning to stir things up.
They’ll let it satiate itself and leave on its own accord.”
Xiao Cha placed one trembling hand behind her back and didn’t speak.
The room quieted down for a moment, and then Chief Chen, looking down at a document, said,
“I was the one who inspected the scene when your father had the accident…
There were no signs of struggle.
You know what that means.”
“It means…
my father had no ability to resist.”
“Your father had the Cultivation of Concentrating Spirit Refining Internal Organs, and with the White Dragon Whip in hand, even I am not sure of victory.
Something that could overpower him without resistance…
this demon human comes from a significant background, surely from a well-known sect.”
Chief Chen lifted his head, advising her, “I’ll give you half a month’s leave.
Why don’t you and Young Master Lu go out and unwind.”
“Thank you for your care, Mr.
Chen!”
Xiao Cha bowed with a fist clasped, and then turned to leave.
At that moment, she had regained her composure, though her face was cold as ice.
Then, Chief Chen called out, “Xiao Cha!
Living well and securely is the greatest comfort to those who have passed away!”
