Shangcheng City, Law Enforcement Bureau.
At that moment, Mayor Sima Nan of Shangcheng City and the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau were discussing the incident.
Suddenly, his secretary hurried in, his expression extremely grave.
This immediately made Sima Nan's expression darken.
Did this secretary have no sense? Couldn't he see I was in the middle of a discussion?
But the secretary was frantic and said bluntly, "Something's happened in that small space discovered south of the city!!"
Sima Nan paused. Hadn't he sent Qi Yuan to handle it?
Suddenly, he remembered some rumors.
Qi Yuan obtained the Sharingan in the Planetary Space. Could its side effects have suddenly kicked in and killed him??
"The Sensor Ninja at the entrance detected powerful Chakra fluctuations inside the Secret Realm!"
"They said the Chakra was at least on the level of a Grandmaster Realm expert!!"
Sima Nan stood straight up at this. "What exactly happened??"
The secretary hurriedly explained, "Qi Yuan was originally supposed to clear out the level-two Demon Beasts, but about an hour later, powerful Chakra fluctuations appeared."
"And those fluctuations weren't coming from just one person!!"
Sima Nan's wrist trembled.
Although he was also a Grandmaster Realm expert, he had spent years holed up in this small city.
It had been a long time since he had entered a Secret Realm Space to kill Demon Beasts, and that was also why he had gone so long without a promotion.
Still, he gritted his teeth. "We have to take a look. If anything happens to Qi Yuan, we won't be able to answer to Guardian Warden Jia!!"
Just then, a staff member suddenly ran over from outside.
"Director, someone claims to have captured an assassin from the Freemasons!!"
"And he's a Level Five Grandmaster Realm assassin!!"
By now, Sima Nan had thought of a possibility.
No longer caring about maintaining his composure, he used the Body Flicker Technique and dashed outside.
Outside stood a young man carrying an enormous bundle on his back.
Seeing Qi Yuan's back, Sima Nan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to greet Qi Yuan when he instinctively sensed danger.
"Those eyes??"
Scarlet, eerie, powerful, and extremely dangerous!!
The next moment, Sima Nan found himself in a dark-red space.
He was bound tightly to a cross.
"Is this a genjutsu??"
"Mayor Sima, did you carefully arrange for me to enter that Small Secret Realm Space today?"
Qi Yuan's figure emerged from the darkness. He looked no different from when Sima Nan had seen him yesterday.
His eyes, however, were blood-red.
They were the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Kekkei Genkai everyone knew as trash!!
Yet at that moment, Sima Nan wanted nothing more than to stomp anyone who held that opinion into the ground.
He was a Grandmaster Realm expert, after all, yet a single glance from the Sharingan had dragged him into a Genjutsu Space.
Hearing Qi Yuan's question, however, Sima Nan felt a little more relieved.
Then he tried to speak calmly. "Grandmaster Qi, although I don't know what happened to you in the Small Secret Realm Space, I definitely didn't carefully arrange this."
"I only wanted to get closer to you all and make a good impression on Guardian Warden Jia!"
He now understood that Qi Yuan had definitely reached the Grandmaster Realm.
He felt completely different from yesterday.
Under these circumstances, Sima Nan laid bare everything on his mind.
"For you and me, this was only a small favor, something easily done. If anything unexpected happened, someone else must have had their sights on you!!"
Qi Yuan quietly watched Sima Nan with his three-tomoe Sharingan, confirming from his eyes that he was not lying.
Of course, within this illusion space, he could also subject him to torture.
But there was absolutely no need.
Sima Nan was the mayor of Shangcheng City, after all, and Yan Gang was still in Shangcheng City.
It was enough to let him know how powerful he was!!
The next second, Sima Nan suddenly came to his senses, greeted by Qi Yuan's clear eyes and signature smile.
"Mayor Sima, we meet again!!"
Sima Nan's smile stiffened. He glanced at the people around him and noticed nothing unusual.
His heart immediately filled with horror again!!
Qi Yuan's genjutsu is actually this advanced?? Not a single person noticed anything wrong with me just now??
He swallowed, momentarily at a loss for words.
Then Qi Yuan opened the large sack on his back, revealing a mangled, bloody figure before everyone!!
Everyone jumped in fright!
"This guy tried to assassinate me today, but I killed him instead."
"He should be a Rogue Ninja. Oh, right, he was also a Grandmaster Realm expert."
His first sentence drew little reaction from those present, but his second shook everyone to the core!!
"Grandmaster Realm??"
"Young man, you're joking, right?"
"This is the Law Enforcement Bureau. Hurry up and go home!"
Many of them did not recognize Qi Yuan and merely thought he had come to fool around.
But Sima Nan came to his senses at that moment, turned, and snapped, "Shut up!! Who gave you the right to speak here?"
His tone stunned everyone present, and they immediately understood that Qi Yuan was no ordinary person.
Meanwhile, the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau found the corpse somewhat familiar, so he worked up his courage and stepped forward to examine it.
His deputy also seemed to recognize it.
"This looks like Android 17 from the Freemasons??"
"The extremely dangerous criminal who killed the expert ranked ninety-ninth on the Grandmaster Realm rankings!!"
"He specialized in the Silent Killing Technique!!"
The two exchanged glances, horror immediately appearing in their eyes.
Then they reported to Sima Nan, "Mayor, this is a big catch. The bounty is as high as a hundred million!!"
Then they looked at Qi Yuan again, recalling what he had said earlier.
He tried to assassinate him, only to be killed instead??
They sucked in a breath. This young man was actually a Grandmaster Realm expert??
And not even an ordinary one!!
Sima Nan's heart was pounding. He felt as though he had just walked back from death's door.
If this really had anything to do with him, Qi Yuan would have slaughtered him already!!
Realizing how serious the matter was, he immediately dismissed everyone present who was not involved.
He had thought Qi Yuan was one of Jia Nan's juniors, but now it seemed Qi Yuan himself was someone powerful to latch on to!!
Sima Nan gave a dry laugh. "Congratulations, Grandmaster Qi. You've killed such a villain and rid our Yu Province of a great menace!!"
But Qi Yuan said with a smile, "Actually, there was another person involved in the attempt to kill me. There's just nothing left of his body now."
Hearing this, Sima Nan raised his assessment of Qi Yuan's strength another notch.
He immediately said with righteous indignation, "Grandmaster Qi, just tell us what he looked like and what Ninjutsu he specialized in. Our Law Enforcement Bureau will do everything possible to identify him."
The director of the Law Enforcement Bureau beside him nodded as well.
But Qi Yuan said casually, "No need. I know who he was."
Sima Nan and the others perked up, but a moment later, they wished they could cut off their own ears. Why did they have to hear this news??
"His name was Liu Tianjun. He was a Grandmaster of the Mowu Liu Family and the Deputy Envoy of Earth's Fifth Town!"
Sima Nan gave a smile uglier than crying. How the hell did the Mowu Liu Family get dragged into this?
The moon shone brightly, and the night began to grow quiet.
Unable to bear the pressure, Sima Nan called Jia Nan directly.
Although Liu Tianjun had attacked Qi Yuan first, he was a member of the Mowu Liu Family.
After hearing about this, Jia Nan was shocked by Qi Yuan's strength and immediately ordered Sima Nan to suppress the news.
At the same time, he was to collect as much evidence as possible so the Liu Family would have no grounds to dispute the matter.
It was not until dark that Qi Yuan returned home.
But he was in a very good mood.
"100000000 has been credited to your balance!!"
This Rogue Ninja from the Freemasons really was worth a fortune.
The moment he pushed open the door, he suddenly sensed something unusual.
Meanwhile, deep inside a large clubhouse in Huangyan City.
A creature with a human body and a beast's head laughed strangely. "Let's try out this Rinnegan technique, the Shapeshifting Technique, and see how well it works."
