Chapter 144: Your Boldness is Also Too Big
After Ding Huan walked out of the small Star Jia Fang City, he saw Jing waiting on the side.
This guy was waiting for him.
Ding Huan quickened his pace and went to the place where he killed the few people who had betrayed him, and indeed, Jin quickly followed.
"Your boldness is impressive. You knew I was coming to find you and chose this remote place."
Jin's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Ding Huan said lightly:
"You know I'm not shy about taking risks, and yet you dared to follow me. You have quite some boldness yourself."
Jin was taken aback, yes, since he knew that Ding Huan was someone he shouldn't mess with, why did Ding Huan dare to come over?
Could it be that Ding Huan is indeed a strong man and killed Que Ni?
But then he thought, as a top-level warrior, how could he be afraid of just an ordinary outsider?
Although he thought like that, he still retreated a few steps.
I should have brought some people with me.
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
Seeing Jin's guarded expression, Ding Huan mocked him:
"Because it was here that I killed the betrayer sister."
"What?"
Jin stunned and looked at Ding Huan.
Don't judge the betrayer sister by her lowly status as a thug, which is far below that of his.
But he really dared not touch the betrayer sister, because the betrayer sister is backed by the Left Stone family, one of the four major clans.
"Yes, I did kill Que Ni. Look, the answer you're seeking is so simple, why go to the town team?"
Ding Huan spread his hands.
"It's indeed you..."
Jin directly drew out the long knife from his waist and slashed towards Ding Huan with a blade flower.
Ding Huan didn't move at all; he simply raised his hand, and a gust of wind blade shot past.
"Puff!" Blood splattered.
Jin's leg was torn open by Ding Huan's wind blade.
"Plop!"
Jin fell to the ground in front of Ding Huan, two meters away. He moaned in pain, but inside, he was terrified.
Ding Huan's strength was not inferior to that of a Foundation builder.
What he couldn't understand was, why would a Foundation builder, who could establish a family on the Four-directional Starlands, hide in this corner pretending to be weak?
Is this the kind of thing humans do?
"You're arrogant with such strength in front of me."
Ding Huan walked over and kicked Jins face, so hard that Jins could hear the sound of his broken nosebone.
"Youngster, please show mercy. I, your junior, am willing to serve you and become your pet."
Jin screamed in terror.
"Just being my dog is enough. I'm not killing you for a reason. Tell me, why did you spend so much time in the Four-directional City this time?"
Ding Huan asked casually.
In fact, this was the main reason he brought Jin over today.
After learning from Li Di Town that a spaceship from a high-level civilization planet would arrive in two years, Ding Huan began to have thoughts.
He definitely couldn't just sit and wait for death here. There were no cultivation techniques, and the spiritual energy here was extremely scarce. Staying here would only lead to waiting for death. What else could you do?
"I'm here for the chance to go to a high-level civilization planet. In two years, a spaceship from a high-level civilization planet will come to the Four-directional City."
Jin's appearance seemed arrogant and domineering, but once his life was in someone else's hands, he was no better than Kan Ni. The fear in his expression couldn't be hidden.
"Ding Huan asked, "Did you get it?"
Jin's tone grew even more respectful:
"Usually, spaceships from high-level civilization planets will take a handful of talented cultivators along.
The four major families and the three planets had negotiated together. They agreed that one family could have one spot to follow the alien spacecraft.
"And there are three more spots, decided by the most valuable treasure each family has contributed. Whichever family's treasure is the most valuable will be allowed to leave with the spaceship from the high-level civilization planet."
Although Jin tried to compose himself, his voice still trembled.
Ding Huan furrowed his brow:
"Wasn't it said that ten geniuses would be taken? What if the other three people have brought good things but are not geniuses?"
Jin forcibly stopped the bleeding from his broken leg and his face grew increasingly pale. He had to answer Ding Huan's words:
"Actually, as long as there are seven geniuses, the other three can go as long as their treasures are better."
Ding Huan was even more confused:
"If it's about whose treasure is better, then whose spot it goes to, why did you go to the Four-directional City? Why not just take your best treasure there?"
Jin quickly explained:
"It's not like that. Even if you get the best things, if you don't have the opportunity to meet the strong players from the high-level civilization planet, it's all for nothing."
Ding Huan finally understood. It turned out that this guy went to the Four-directional City to build connections, all just to get a qualification to give gifts.
"Did you manage to get this opportunity to meet?" Ding Huan stared at Jin and asked.
Jin seemed to have been waiting for Ding Huan to say this:
"Senior, I've managed to get it, it's in storage at the money house in the Four-directional City."
Ding Huan's spiritual perception had already scanned Jin's body, and there was still a small bag attached to him. The bag contained two deposit cards from the money house and a white pass card.
The white pass card read: Entrance Pass for Treasure Presentation.
"Good, tell me what treasure you have prepared?"
When Ding Huan said this, he had a strong killing intent.
"It's a medicinal herb."
Jin said in a trembling voice, his heart filled with unease. If this medicine were taken away, he would be finished.
In this moment, he regretted putting the medicine on himself.
Before Jin could react, the small bag attached to his waist suddenly vanished.
Instantly, Jin realized that the bag around his waist was now in Ding Huan's hand.
Ding Huan's spiritual perception fell on the inside of the bag, seeing a long jade box inside, and the box contained a single plant of one foot in length, which was of a light blue color.
Seven-toothed Sculpted Blue Grass?
Ding Huan's mind automatically thought of the name, which was one of the main ingredients for cultivating foundation-building drugs.
Ding Huan didn't know what alchemy was, but he knew the medicinal herb was priceless.
He might need this kind of medicine for gene-based foundation building.
Perhaps gene-based foundation building doesn't require foundation-building drugs.
But even if gene-based foundation building is not as good as foundation building, it still requires foundation-building gene drugs. The Seven-toothed Sculpted Blue Grass is his hope.
There were also several thousand purple coins and some personal belongings in the bag.
Ding Huan put the purple coins and the Seven-toothed Sculpted Blue Grass into the Star House, then threw the bag on Jin's body, grabbed Jin's inner bag with one hand, and threw it away.
Seeing that Ding Huan even knew about his inner bag, Jin was completely desperate.
The inner bag contained the white card that allowed access to meet high-level civilization strongmen, and now, with the white card taken by Ding Huan, he had nothing left to save his life.
Jin heard Ding Huan's words come from afar:
"Remember to stop bullying others next life. What you owe will eventually have to be repaid."
Then, a blade of light cut his neck, followed by a cloud of flames engulfing him entirely.
...
The next morning, Li Di Town came to the Law Enforcement Division.
He was prepared, and if Jin came to nag today, he would call another meeting to show his concern for the matter again.
And he would present the interrogation of the Gu brothers in front of him.
What puzzled him was that he had waited for a whole day without any news of Jin, let alone him coming over.
Li Di Town gestured and called over an enforcement team member from a nearby location:
"Go and find out what Jing has been doing at the market all day."
"Yes." The enforcement officer quickly left.
Li Di Town frowned and sat on the chair, tapping the table non-stop.
Yesterday, he had dinner with Ding Huan and hinted at his willingness to help.
To be honest, these are all the benefits of getting something for free.
Because the strong players from the high-level civilization planet came over, he couldn't get any benefits from it.
The reason for giving out these benefits was the feeling that the deaths of To Jie and Kan Ni were inextricably linked to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan's ability to kill these two people in a seemingly effortless manner was not something ordinary.
But he wasn't very certain, as Ding Huan didn't seem like someone with such power.
The enforcement team member quickly returned after only a short time:
"Captain, Jins didn't show up at the Small Star Corner Market today. He might have gone to other places around there. However..."
"What else?" Li Di Town suddenly got up.
His sensitive professional instincts told him that this matter was far from ordinary.
Will Jin disappear if he doesn't avenge Kan Ni's death or obtain Ding Huan's house?
The team member replied:
"One of our team members said that yesterday, Jins seemed to be chasing after Ding Huan out of the market. But I'm not sure where he went."
Li Di Town heard this and half-open his mouth, completely unable to believe it.
He suspected that Kan Ni and To Jie were killed by Ding Huan, and even encouraged Ding Huan to kill Jin, which was just suspicion and dislike for Jin.
Now he is one hundred percent certain that Jin was killed by Ding Huan.
Since Jin was killed, Kan Ni and To Jie's deaths can be guessed to be of that kind.
Li Di Town let out a long sigh:
"Good, Jin must have known the case was closed, so he left the Small Star Corner Market and went back to his territory. How many things does he have to deal with there? How could he stay here for a long time?"
"Take a few people with you and kill the murderer, Gu brothers, then issue a notice that this matter is closed."
"Yes." The enforcement team member got the order and turned around quickly to leave.
Li Di Town then sat down and after a while, murmured:
"Very impressive, really impressive."
"Captain, Zuo Shihou of the Zuo family has come to see you." One of the enforcement officers came in to report.
Li Di Town immediately understood the situation, this was because of To Jie's affairs, and he laughed loudly, went out to welcome him:
"It's good to see you again, Zuo Shihou."
Standing at the door of the Law Enforcement Division was a man in his thirties, whose face was gloomy, as if he had lost money in a bet and wasn't in a good mood.
However, after seeing Li Di Town, he still made a gesture of respect:
"Captain Li, thank you for your hospitality. I'm sure you know why I've come here."
