Lingering Fish

Really!

Luo Jun's eyes widened; the White Night Bat's answer confirmed his suspicions!

The red dot he detected at Sanjiang Middle School was not the Blood Poison Gu King, but Long Hui!

The two were together at the time, and Luo Jun happened to be checking when it was time to investigate. When he used his eyes to examine the area, he spotted the Blood Poison Gu King and took him as his target. Little did he know that Long Hui was hiding nearby!

Hidden among the evacuated students!

Luo Jun had assumed the Polluter wouldn't be too young, but he hadn't expected Long Hui to be on the mission as well. This guy had seemingly rejuvenated, Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul and now appearing to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He blended in seamlessly into the middle school students' melee. Luo Jun had been so focused on the Blood Poison Gu King that he hadn't even noticed Long Hui's presence!

This is truly a case of being blind to one's own shortcomings... Going back to school now? School's probably already over. Long Hui went home with his "parents," so how can he possibly come back to school tomorrow? It seems impossible...

To put it another way, perhaps the real culprit who killed Teacher Zhao was not the Blood Poison Gu King, but Long Hui!

Although not fully recovered, the foundation of the Peak still exists. What makes the Peak realm stronger than the ordinary Heart Refining Realm is not just the Yuan Qi. When the Three Great Realms are cultivated to their extremes, they complement each other and will all have a significant improvement, which is what makes the Peak so powerful.

This naturally includes the Body Refinement Realm!

To put it bluntly, even if a Peak cultivator's vital energy is sealed, their basic physical strength is still much stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators. Under such rules, they can still achieve remarkable results in the early stages!

If this guy really killed Professor Zhao... he must have gotten a lot of points. Two or three hours have passed since then, and it's hard to say that other teammates might have died at his hands... This guy might have unlocked quite a few abilities by now!

This is getting tough...

Luo Jun wasn't worried about losing. Even if Long Hui hadn't fully recovered his strength, Luo Jun believed he would have a better chance of winning, even against Long Hui at his Peak.

The problem is that the rules of this mission mean that the stronger the Cultivators, the more restricted they will be in combat!

Once power reaches a certain level, the limitation on destructive power can no longer be controlled by mere skill!

Take Luo Jun's Myriad Jun Hammer for example. Even if you just throw it on the ground, the energy it releases can instantly kill an ordinary person within dozens of meters. Not to mention that when Luo Jun fights, the power of his fists and feet is much greater than the weight of the Myriad Jun Hammer!

When one's strength reaches a certain level, even a casual wave of the hand can generate enough wind pressure to kill! In a full-force battle, every punch and kick can cause area-of-effect damage!

As long as you remain in this city, it's difficult to inflict damage without affecting ordinary people. If you're too concerned about the lives of ordinary people, you'll be unable to unleash your full potential, and your lethality will be limited when facing Peak Level opponents.

Moreover, based on Luo Jun's understanding of Long Hui, if this guy isn't a match for him, he'll probably deliberately seek out crowded places, making Luo Jun hesitant and timid...

We can't let him grow stronger; it's best to kill him before he unlocks his full power...

But the question is, how do we find him?

As for the White Night Bat, they couldn't get much information out of him. Luo Jun kept his promise and gave him a quick death. This guy was worth over 200 points, and together with the guy he killed earlier, he earned a total of over 400 points. Adding that to what he had before, it was enough to unlock the Midnight Mask.

Luo Jun thought for a moment, then turned and walked upstairs to Zhuge Lan's "home".

At this moment, the deliveryman whose arms and legs had been broken had already been killed by Zhuge Lan. This kid was obviously quite valuable. Zhuge Lan had already unlocked the Body Refinement Realm and was beginning to adapt to the circulation of Yuan Qi.

As for Old Master Yu. and Mrs. Yu, after witnessing their beloved daughter "Lan Lan" decisively break someone's neck, they were so frightened that they shrank back into the corner of the room, trembling with fear.

"You... you're not Lan Lan... who are you?!"

Seeing the terrified elderly couple, Zhuge Lan sighed and walked towards the house. Old Master Yu immediately grabbed a coat rack and pointed it at Zhuge Lan: "Don't come any closer! My Lan Lan would never do such a cruel thing!" Zhuge Lan stopped and could only bow to the elderly couple. "I'm sorry, I am indeed not Yu XiaoLan, but I assure you, your daughter is currently in a safe place and will return to you in three days."

Zhuge Lan lied. This world was created because of a mission, and it's uncertain whether it will still exist after the mission ends... But if it disappears along with the world, then the so-called daughter and family ties will be meaningless to them.

At this moment, Luo Jun arrived at the door. Zhuge Lan noticed him and smiled, "How did it go?"

"I solved two," Luo Jun said casually, "And neither of them were very good."

"This is quite valuable, over three hundred points," Zhuge Lan nodded to Luo Jun. "Thank you."

"Just a small token," Luo Jun said with a smile. "Didn't you buy me clothes too? Old Man even treated me to tea..."

Mentioning the elderly couple, Zhuge Lan's expression darkened further. "We're afraid we have to leave; we can't stay here any longer."

Luo Jun nodded. "However, we can't continue operating together."

"What?" Zhuge Lan was slightly taken aback, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "You think I'm holding you back?"

Although they had only been working together for two hours, Zhuge Lan could clearly sense that this mysterious Rogue Cultivator named Lin Feng was exceptionally strong, especially with his incredibly high Root Bone talent. If he were to unlock his abilities, he would undoubtedly be a top-tier expert... She even suspected that he might be a hidden Peak!

"No, I've gotten myself into trouble." Luo Jun shook his head. "After I killed that guy at school, it seems I'm under some kind of Curse. A constant stream of enemies are coming after me, and it's too dangerous for me to act with them..."

"I see..." Zhuge Lan looked into Luo Jun's eyes, then smiled slightly, "I see, you were worried about implicating me. You're a really nice person!"

"This Curse shouldn't last long." Luo Jun took out his phone. "Let's exchange contact information. If we need any help in future missions, feel free to contact us."

Zhuge Lan readily agreed, and after exchanging contact information, Luo Jun climbed out of the window, not caring that it was more than 20 stories high, and jumped down.

Zhuge Lan went to the window, watched the dark figure disappear into the night in an instant, and sighed softly.

"They dumped me when I needed help the most, just because they think I'm too weak..."

At this point, Zhuge Lan felt a hint of Qi Ingestion: "Once I unlock my abilities, I'll definitely make you look at me in a completely different light!"
