This large cloud is the "Using Stillness to Control Movement" created by Old Lady Jia.

She had done this kind of thing in Hope Star Region, but the scale was much different, which was due to combat needs.

The actual strength that Old Lady can exert is far more than these. After all, it is the highest level of cultivation.

She has been adjusting it some time ago, and now that the adjustment is in place, it is time to replace the element Inner Breath in her body.

If it were another Supreme, she might not be willing to use Inner Breath like this, but for her, it can be considered a necessity.

She wanted to investigate other supremes to consume Inner Breath, but Qu Jianlei thought it was not necessary and it was better to create a long-term rainy weather.

The weather gradually changed without causing much concern to the others.

This is related to Old Lady's micro-control ability, but at the same time, no one has considered that any supreme player would consume his own Inner Breath in this way.

However, in the short term, Old Lady Jia's combat power is basically useless.

Qu Jianlei and Paranoid both believe that this is not a problem, it is enough for them to protect the manor.

Old Lady is only responsible for consuming Inner Breath. When you can't hold on, just use Gathering Spirit Array to regain your energy.

She was in the manor herself, so it was very convenient to replenish her aura, and it was safer than going out to check on the supreme power.

Dark clouds are gradually forming, and within these hundreds of thousands square kilometers, nothing that happens can be hidden from Old Lady.

Old Lady Jia created overcast clouds for five days, and the water vapor accumulated thick enough in some places to cause light rain on its own from time to time.

On the sixth day, she finished controlling Water Element and went back to Gathering Spirit Array to rest.

After two days, because no one deliberately controlled Water Element, the clouds gradually dispersed.

However, Old Lady had already recovered 80% of his aura, and walked out of Gathering Spirit Array to control Water Element again.

So unconsciously, half a month passed.

Old Lady Jia and Inner Breath have never returned to their best, but the accumulation of Water Element is steadily improving.

In the end, a relative balance emerged. She controlled Water Element for three days, rested for half a day, and recovered for half a day.

Because of her continuous manipulation, her whole body gradually became tired.

If you persist like this, you may suffer some injuries due to fatigue.

Considering that Old Lady is old and may not have enough time to repair her injuries, Qu Jianlei and Paranoid will occasionally help her out for a while.

Xiang Xue is just a little bit worse. Although she is Water Attribute Rank A, her micro-management ability is really not good enough.

However, during this period of time, she has been observing Old Lady's micro-management, which has also been of great help to her.

Not just anyone has the opportunity to observe operations with the same attributes for a long time. She really made money this time.

A month later, the clouds completely stabilized. It rained for a period of time every day, and there was rarely sunshine at other times.

People in the Meteorological Department have become numb to this kind of weather. When others ask when the rain will end, they cannot give an answer.

However, this is not a bad thing. Before this, the air here was a bit dirty, but now the air quality is much better.

There is no reason for the government to forcefully interfere with this kind of weather.

On this day, Qu Jianlei finally perfected the ordinary Qi Gathering Array - there is still room for improvement, but it can be used now.

In addition to the three supremes in the team, there are four Rank A, two Rank B and one C-level, so one Qi Gathering Array is enough.

Qu Jianlei decided to rest for two days, and then asked Xiao Qin, "Qinghu hasn't sent any news from Baron yet?"

"I gave it twice a while ago," Xiao Qin replied in a deep voice, "But it was not accurate enough, so I didn't tell you..."

"He's on the move a lot now, rarely staying in one place for too long, and he's alert enough."

Mental Attribute's supreme ability to perceive danger is stronger than that of ordinary supreme beings. This is not surprising.

During this period of time, no one was monitoring the manor, and Old Lady was very sure of this.

What Qu Jianlei didn't know was that just one day ago, Patrol Headquarters carried out an EOD operation.

Harman was completely missing, and there was a high possibility of something unexpected happening. Patrol made a judgment and checked his lounge.

Because they were vigilant enough, they discovered the Fire Explosion device left by the second-in-command.

This device is too sophisticated. Some people suggested that someone from the Supreme Being should be invited to carefully sense it and eliminate the danger.

But it's a pity that the Supreme Being is not so easy to hire, let alone doing this kind of explosive disposal work?

In the end, they had to dismantle some of the explosives and detonate them artificially.

Fire Explosion is not very powerful, and protective devices are set up around it, so the impact on Patrol Headquarters is not great.

Old Lady Jia fully monitored the vicinity and noticed this scene, but because the movement was very small, Qu Jianlei really didn't notice it.

Old Lady didn't know what Patrol was doing, but she felt that there was no need to tell Panda everything.

As a member of the same group, she must take responsibility. This is the principle of life.

Group members must help and support each other in order to go further, and her supreme pride does not allow her to stay away.

Patrol made very little noise when detonated, but the powder that exploded was both highly poisonous and stinky, and they almost got hit.

The powder was mixed with poison, and what was rare was that it was actually mixed with Paraquat.

This makes some people a little confused. Harman itself is Wood Attribute. Why should it be mixed with Exclusive Poison for itself? But the boss of Patrol saw another layer, "This... I'm afraid Harman used it to commit suicide!"

Harman planted explosives in his lounge. It was originally a very scary thing. Who in the right mind would do this?

Many Patrol agreed that he should have encountered a strong enemy, but the key to the question is - who is the strong enemy? They tried to use surveillance to investigate when Harman planted the explosives.

Not to mention bringing in explosives, but just talking about the construction of the lounge, you can't hide it from others, right? Unfortunately, Patrol did not find much useful information because the image data about Harman is incomplete! This is not entirely because there is a problem with the headquarters' monitoring, but that the relevant information has been manually deleted.

It was not Xiao Hu who took action, but Harman himself.

Patrol Headquarters is an important place for public security, and relevant information must generally be retained for the Latecomer verification.

But that's just "general". For Patrol senior executives, they can delete information related to themselves.

This is against principle, but as a big shot, who wouldn't encounter some inconveniences occasionally? Records that only relate to oneself and have nothing to do with headquarters affairs will be deleted.

Harman is the second-in-command of Patrol, so it is very convenient to delete some records.

He didn't delete many records. He only deleted four or five paragraphs in total over the decades.

But this makes Patrol people blind. They really can't tell when Harman's office was renovated.

Moreover, the second-in-command is Wood Attribute. It is very convenient to change the underground structure. If you modify it quietly, there will be no big noise.

In the end, everyone unanimously guessed that the record deleted more than a month ago was the most suspicious.

After all, apart from this time, the last time Harman deleted records was eight years ago.

Theoretically speaking, no one likes to sleep on fire for many years, right? Now that Top Leader's guess is revealed, everyone is even more curious.

In just over a month, Harman would provoke some powerful enemy, and even consider suicide.

Someone has already thought that Baron is looking for someone to deal with Hongjingtian recently. Could it be that the second in command is involved? However, there is no fool who can think of this. Who would openly raise this conjecture? Hongjingtian Whether he is easy to offend or not is a secondary matter. The key is that the supreme name cannot be called directly.

Moreover, two supreme forces are competing against each other. Who dares to easily get involved in this super maelstrom? They were even very confused: Harman is going to retire soon, so what are you doing getting involved in this kind of thing? However, although no one publicly raised the speculation, some people felt that they had found the truth, and they would inevitably say a few words in private.

After all this going back and forth, the gossip still got out.

But then, there was almost solid evidence - it was because of the tragic death of the landlord's family.

The middleman who passed the message was still found by the city guard - and what he found was the body.

There is no doubt that this person was silenced by a gangster from a higher level.

But the person who was silenced was not a good person. He actually set up a scheduled message and distributed it shortly after his death.

This person didn't know anything about the inside story, and he wasn't even particularly sure who his superior's gangster was, so he only gave a guess.

But no matter what, he knew exactly why he threatened the landlord and what he said.

These messages were all sent out by him - if he wanted to make it difficult for him, then everyone would not have it easy.

The reasons that the landlord was still trying to hide were exposed by others.

No matter how careful the plan is, there may be mistakes. Human nature is too complicated.

The murder of the landlord's family was definitely a major case, and once the news came out, no one could suppress it.

——If Harman didn't die, maybe it could be suppressed, but now there's really no one in charge.

So Patrol also got the news: someone wanted to kidnap the landlord and force Hongjingtian and his party to leave.

If someone combines the two cases, it will be easily explained: the mastermind of the kidnapping case was Harman, and he was killed for it.

If Hongjingtian Team really took action, it would be normal for the four people to disappear silently, and it would be even more normal for Harman to prepare to commit suicide in advance.

As for Harman's motive, it is still a mystery, but it is not very important.

Importantly, the two cases are likely to be related.

However, even so, it is impossible for Patrol people to take the initiative to join the case - everyone has not lived enough.

However, as a senior Rank A, Harman has too many interests and acquaintances in Tianrui Star.

Patrol Headquarters must have an explanation for his disappearance.

So not long after, they submitted a situation investigation statement to Planet Governor.

There was no speculation about Hongjingtian Team in the description. It was a simple investigation report and didn't even mention the landlord's case.

This is a clear statement: We can't investigate other matters, so please ask the higher-ups to send someone who can make the decision.
