Li Jiaheng and Jin Longying, these two characters are indeed in line with Ling Yao's expectations for the chess pieces in Xin Ran's hands at this moment.
In fact, Ling Yao had guessed from the beginning that what Zhou Yunyi said was most likely false - of course, rather than Zhou Yunyi lying, it was more likely that Xin Ran had deceived Zhou Yunyi from the beginning in order to confuse the special person. Everyone in the situation.
But for these two characters, Ling Yao does have unlimited willingness to explore.
Jin Longying is related to the "source of the protagonist's power" and "plot direction"; Li Jiaheng is related to the system and the truth of the world. Normally, picking out any one of them would be worthy of Ling Yao's in-depth study or even a fight.
It can be seen that Xin Ran really spent a lot of money to seduce Ling Yao with such key clues, trying to make him give up exploring his whereabouts and plans.
But Ling Yao didn't intend to be led around by others.
"Call the [main station], this is [C44 Red Copper], the mystery tube has been solved, the explosive detonation is completed, and the alarm has been lifted. The whereabouts of the target [Xin Ran] [Li Jiaheng] have not been found. Waiting for further instructions."
"Call the [main station], this is [D16 Liuya], the evacuation work of the remaining two locations has been completed, the investigation work has been completed, no explosives were found, and no whereabouts of the target [Xin Ran] [Li Jiaheng] were found. Waiting for further instructions. "
"[Headquarters] Got it."
"Call the [main station], this is [B68 Guangyue], the whereabouts of the target [Xin Ran] [Li Jiaheng] have not been found. The whereabouts of the target [Lin Tianyu] have been locked.
"The current coordinates are 116, 39, and the Dongmen Bridge is heading north. Repeat, the current coordinates are 116, 39, and the Dongmen Bridge is heading north, and it is moving quickly towards the Jin Mao Tower.
"There are five people accompanying us who are clashing with the team led by the Zheng family [Zheng Ran]. Their destination is unknown.
"There is a Special Intelligence Bureau [X3] team one kilometer away. The [X3] team is performing a mission. Do we need to deploy manpower to track it at close range?"
Ling Yao's headset was always connected to the channel of the reconnaissance team, silently listening to the reports from other teams to Zhang Yongxin, and combined with the information he had obtained from the previous text messages about complaining, he slowly outlined the overall situation in his mind.
There are four families in the capital: Zheng, Chen, Song and Liang.
Among them, the Zheng family is the oldest and has the most trump cards; the Chen family is the strongest and is a new force; the Chen family and the Zheng family have always been at odds;
The Liang family is secretly clinging to the Chen family, while the Song family is neutral and trying to fish in troubled waters.
Lin Tianyu was "appreciated and recruited" by a certain branch of the Liang family, and gradually became known and appreciated by the Chen family. Now he is considered to be in the Chen family's team, and he does not forget to do the Song family's business.
But according to the "plot", the four major families at this time all thought that Lin Tianyu was just a "miraculous doctor" who "had no power to restrain a chicken", a crispy "nanny" who wanted to be won over and protected, but not that important. ”, not to mention paying too much attention to it.
Of course, from Ling Yao's "God's perspective", I am afraid that the Chen family and the Liang family have long been eyeing the inheritance power of Qingyou Valley behind Lin Tianyu, and then found an excuse to get close to each other.
And tonight's so-called [gang fight] is another secret fight between the aristocratic families that has been exposed in the open:
The main plot is to fight for a batch of ancient secrets and training materials that have been lost overseas for many years, while the sub-plot is to settle old and new grudges.
Although in Ling Yao's opinion, although these things are not as precious as the Heart of Qi Sui, they are still good things. Since it was lost overseas and returned to China, it should have been state-owned.
But who calls the secret service dish? The aristocratic families have long had a tacit understanding of xenophobia. Once the Secret Service directly joins the melee, it will not be able to defeat the temporary alliance of the aristocratic families.
If it weren't for Xin Ran's intervention, which directly threatened the safety of ordinary people, all the mission of the Secret Service tonight would be to squat behind and observe the development of the melee between the aristocratic families, maintain stability, and pick up the pieces. A leak... I can't even find a reason to get involved, so don't be too aggrieved.
Of course, normally speaking, Lin Tianyu should be regarded as a "crispy wet nurse" by the Chen family and would not have the chance to participate in the war.
But...this is the "protagonist"! Even if the metaphysical factor of "plot" is put aside, whether it is the Chen family, the Liang family, or Xin Ran and Li Jiaheng, who would really let the "protagonist" eat melon in the audience?
Ever since, the "plot" gradually moved towards "Lin Tianyu stepped forward to save the new mistress he met at the Chen family, accidentally got involved in a battle, and defeated a wave of enemies that everyone could not believe, and then went to a new location to find someone at the request of his sweetheart. In this wonderful rhythm of "finding things".
Even the commentators couldn't help but complain: [Does the protagonist of this book rely entirely on the harem to develop and promote the plot of the dungeon? No wonder lty seems unable to survive independently without the harem】
But what's amazing is that Lin Tianyu doesn't seem to know that the Raven Organization, which he had a fight with three years ago, was actually instructed by the Chen family; nor does he know that the Huo family, which was annexed by his younger brother Li Haibo after its downfall, once He is a thug of the Chen family.
It is precisely because of this that he can now have an affair with Miss Chen's family and work as a thug for the Chen family without any grudges.
This made Ling Yao not sure whether the comment was whether the Chen family had hidden it deeply enough or whether Lin Tianyu was stupid and sweet enough.
While he was running around, under the surveillance of the Secret Service, the confrontation between the Zheng family and the Chen family had gradually fallen into a stalemate, and even entered a climax that was about to break out.
No one would have thought of Lin Tianyu's sudden rise, let alone that this "dark horse" would determine the outcome of the entire battle.
After all, none of them could have imagined that Linglong Pavilion, the packaging shell of the three thousand-year-old immortality flowers that the four major families had snatched the most, was basically a missing part of the Hidden Dragon Pagoda in Lin Tianyu’s ring;
The so-called immortality flower that revives human flesh and bones and prolongs life is just one of the common herbs in Qianlong Pagoda with huge reserves.
As long as Lin Tianyu wakes up the ring, the pagoda will naturally take back Linglong Pavilion. The efforts of others to hide and fight for it were all in vain.
Although Lin Tianyu himself and even Xiao Jinlong don't know this, only the "God's perspective" complaints and system holders know.
But it is enough to show how outrageous Lin Tianyu's plug-in is.
"This is the [Main Station]. [B68] continue to track [Lin Tianyu], and the [Command Team] mobilizes other movable operators along the way to track. Continue to search for the whereabouts of the target [Xin Ran] [Li Jiaheng].
"[J89 Lingyao], report the current location. Has the plan changed?"
While traveling at high speed, the howling wind and floating ions caused the sound on the radio to become distorted and broken.
Ling Yao could barely distinguish the information transmitted by the other party on the radio. He pulled his hood that was crackling in the wind with his hands, put it on the headset, and responded:
"This is [J89 Lingyao], the current coordinates are 115, 29. The recommended plan has not changed. We are adjusting the direction of travel and continue to prioritize tracking [Lin Tianyu]."
This is the "temporary consultant" authority that Zhang Yongxin secured for him.
Because of Xin Ran's entanglement with him, he was listed by the Intelligence Department as the person who knows Xin Ran best among the people currently in contact.
Therefore, when dealing with related issues, the main station commander—that is, the boss who is not familiar with Ling Yao, Liu Ming, who is giving orders on the radio at the moment, will also give priority to his suggestions on related issues, and will not ask questions on the spot. reason.
(That means I still have to write a lot of written reports afterwards:D)
Abandon the remaining two locations, go straight to Lin Tianyu's location, intervene and destroy the core of Xin Ran's plan, and try to catch Xin Ran's feet... This is the consensus he and Zhang Yongxin reached in a short period of time.
Because of this, they had previously divided their forces into two groups, sending out all the people the Secret Service could mobilize to avoid any emergencies that would force Ling Yao to travel back and forth.
"[Headquarters] Received. Attention all units, continue to perform current tasks."
So far, everything is going smoothly.
1min.
3min.
5 minutes.
Although Lin Tianyu is also constantly moving, Ling Yao can only catch up faster. The distance between the two is gradually getting closer.
8km.
5km.
3km……
but
——This is right. How could the "villain" be missing such a "but" in his life?
The air that was originally only slightly distorted suddenly burst into several electric lights, and then Ling Yao's figure gradually appeared under the black-purple arc.
There was no warning, but he suddenly exited the high-speed electrochemical state and froze in place.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the gray fog covering his pupils instantly faded, switching to a layer of bright purple light.
From the gray fog perspective, he can identify all abnormalities in the flow of true energy and determine the location of cultivators. And he always takes advantage of this to avoid ambushes and conflicts as much as possible.
Facts have fully proved that this method is very effective: along the way, he did not encounter any fights or pursuits;
It can even be said that no one discovered his existence at all.
But this smoothness only lasted for the last second.
At this moment, his intuition told him that something was wrong, very wrong.
Too much.
Even just by unconsciously snorting while running, he could feel the abnormal heat in the air due to his breathing.
And the moment he stopped, he was even more clearly sure that he was being surrounded by nearly a hundred breaths.
But Huitong didn't give him any warning.
This can only mean one thing: except for one or two cultivators who may be carrying rare equipment to shield their aura, most of the people surrounding him are ordinary people who have not practiced Qi.
This is crazy, Ling Yao thought to himself.
This is certainly not because he thinks that the team of nearly a hundred people is so huge, and that it would be exaggerated to have only one person come.
——On the contrary, a group of ordinary people trying to surround a sixth-level cultivator is like a group of ants trying to shake an elephant. So what if there are thousands of them?
The elephant may feel uncomfortable, but the ant will definitely die miserably.
He subconsciously took a step back. It's not because of the fear or helplessness caused by being surrounded, but more like the restraint of the elephants who involuntarily want to trample on the restless and constantly harassing ants, but don't want to hurt them in their hearts.
In this world where the legal system operates smoothly, even if the legal system itself still has many loopholes and even fallacies, Ling Yao still maintains awe and respect for its attitude towards the life and death of all people.
And as a sword cultivator in his previous life and a cultivator in this life, he also has his own "pride" - he doesn't want to kill some stupid ordinary people with his own hands.
But his step back was not so in the eyes of others.
When Zi Tong's perspective changed, he saw that countless intertwined heartbeats had formed an encirclement, and the moment he appeared, they surrounded him unscrupulously.
It was so unscrupulous, which made Ling Yao's mind alert again.
No, he couldn't easily conclude that the other party was just a foolhardy "minion" or a "general" who used his life to make achievements.
In fact, no matter how powerful and powerful the person who can join this brawl is, he cannot easily decide the life and death of nearly a hundred people; no matter how brave and foolhardy he is, he still has his own cards and back-ups.
Ling Yao took out the sword on his back - holding the hilt but not opening the scabbard.
This was an action to keep on guard. Under his quick and careful judgment, he decided to first meet this "ordinary person" who could actually intercept him from the electrochemical state.
But the next second, he quickly regretted his judgment: he should have chosen to "escape" in the first place.
Because at this very second, his purple pupils were suddenly interrupted, and the true energy he felt around him instantly became thinner.
As the picture in front of him gradually returned to the true color of the real world, he seized the last chance and finally saw clearly the forbidden air realm that surrounded everyone like a densely woven network.
The forbidden air field is an improved version of containment equipment that has been developed in the early years:
Without the need for cultivators to control, through the resonance and counter-shock between multiple devices, all the infuriating energy within the range is evacuated and isolated from the outside world, causing the cultivators within to lose their temporary infuriating energy supply source, turning the battle into a pure war of attrition. This will expand the role of ordinary people in joining the war.
But this seemingly effective equipment actually does not work well.
Not to mention the fact that the makers of these equipment are rare, the materials are scarce, and the cost is high, nor is the equipment heavy, complex to operate, and takes a long time to deploy. Just saying that it can be used, we can already see many disadvantages:
For cultivators who are now mainly engaged in "external cultivation" and refining the true energy directly into the body for use, this thing has no real weakening!
No matter how much external cultivators are looked down upon by Qingyou Gu, Lin Tianyu and others, there are always many historical reasons why they have been able to survive through the storms until today, while the so-called internal cultivators have almost lost their inheritance.
With the disappearance of internal cultivation, equipment such as the Forbidden Qi Domain has naturally been gradually eliminated from the reserve lists of major forces.
Not to mention Ling Yao, even if he invited the big guys from the Special Intelligence Bureau, he would never have expected to see such a complete set of antique equipment in a place like this, let alone formulating any strategies to deal with such a device.
But unfortunately, Ling Yao can now be counted as a member of the "internal cultivator".
Cultivation and combat both rely on the constant interaction between the energy of heaven and earth and the human body. This method that allows him to "overtake in corners" like Lin Tianyu and reach the sixth level of combat power in a short period of time has temporarily become a constraint for him.
Although it couldn't be said to be panic, the situation at this moment also made Ling Yao a little more irritable.
If the other party was not targeting Lin Tianyu and bumped into this place by mistake, then there was a high probability that Xin Ran had sent the method specifically to target him.
What else is there to talk about in this situation? The best thing to do is to take action!
Unfortunately, under the influence of this forbidden energy field, it was really difficult for him to break through the blockade of nearly a hundred people and leave calmly.
Internal cultivators in the Forbidden Qi Realm do not really become ordinary people - their bodies after tempering the Qi are no worse than external cultivators, and their skills are only greatly weakened in actual combat rather than completely incapable of being used. .
It's just that they need more time to adapt to this situation, adjust their combat habits, abandon those moves that require a lot of energy, and put aside equipment like talismans that are highly dependent on external energy... This is not easy.
Therefore, during this short period of time, it is very likely that the inner cultivators will reveal their fatal flaw and die if they are not careful.
In particular, Ling Yao guessed that even if they stood still now, some of the many people on the opposite side must have thermal weapons.
five minutes? ten minutes? He silently calculated the time it would take for him to re-adapt to his current environment.
And what do these people want to do? If he said he wanted to kill himself, it didn't sound like it. But what about the rest?
Seriously hurt yourself? Hold yourself back? Get some information? Get some information? Or use yourself as a bargaining chip to get more benefits from Xin Ran or someone else?
Ling Yao had a lot of things in his mind, but he had already taken out the certificate with great effort:
"The Secret Service Operation Department, [J89 Lingyao], is performing official duties. Unrelated personnel should avoid it, otherwise they will bear the consequences!"
In order to hide Ling Yao's true identity, the public came out with this "false certificate". He kept it in his hand for several years and rarely used it. It’s hard to find an opportunity now, so of course I hurry up and show it off!
As soon as he finished speaking, although the voice was very low, he heard a childish young voice in the crowd asking the person next to him:
"They're from the Secret Service? How come it's different from what the intelligence said? People from the Secret Service are performing official duties. Wouldn't it be bad for us to stop them..."
The middle-aged male voice next to him immediately retorted:
"Young Master, don't be deceived! When he says he is from the Secret Service, he is from the Secret Service, right? That certificate is not just something you can just go to a factory and wholesale in large quantities. You're just showing off with your name! You're really a member of the Secret Service, how can you sneak around with the Soul-fixing Lotus!"
"Yeah... let's continue then! Catch him!"
""Call [main station], this is [J89 Lingyao]. During the execution, someone intercepted someone, who was suspected to be a member of the Aristocratic Family, and is currently being processed.
"The Secret Service is performing official duties! This entire enforcement process is audio and video recorded. Please pay attention to your words and deeds. Who are you, and what does Dinghunlian mean?"
After Ling Yao finished reporting via radio, he took a few steps forward in the direction of the voice, his face remaining serious.
This posture actually startled the two people who were speaking. The "young master" even pouted and shouted:
"The soul-fixing lotus is what you are carrying! Our spiritual talismans have all been detected! Our Chen family's spiritual talismans will not make mistakes when detecting aura!"
Ling Yao: ...Okay, three sentences reveal two key pieces of information. It turns out that you are Chen Xiaoxing, the famous stupid young master of the Chen family. You are worthy of your name...
Speaking of this Chen Xiaoxing, he is a "classic" "brother-in-law" type NPC that even the complainers named him by name.
And his sister is Chen Xiaoyue, Lin Tianyu's main harem in the capital area.
Chen Xiaoyue is a well-known lady in aristocratic families. She is talented and beautiful, yet possesses means and ambition. She also has huge backers and capital to support her. She is the admiration and favorite of many children from aristocratic families.
Such an "attractive" "rich girl" character has been repeatedly criticized by critics as "Although she is a rising star, she has more royal status than Zhou Yiyun."
But Chen Xiaoxing is not famous for being such an outstanding sister.
His fame only stems from two things: one is the Chen family's head's favor for this "old man", and the other is the "stupid" and "waste" that this "young master" was raised as a result of being favored.
Unlike Chen Xiaoyue, although Chen Xiaoxing is satisfied with everything materially, he has "nothing" spiritually.
He knows neither business nor law, and his basic knowledge of other categories is completely useless - all of it is useless;
He knew nothing about fighting, let alone any talent in cultivation;
And the fact that the head of the Chen family was so partial to him made him ignorant of the ways of the world.
Such a useless person in the family, even a prodigal child who spends money all day long with a whimsical career, is still favored by his family, and lives a richer and happier life than most children from aristocratic families... How could he not recruit him? Are people jealous? Not famous for being gossiped about?
And this clue ties the story together: the person Chen Xiaoyue asked Lin Tianyu to find is most likely this "stupid brother" who has few abilities and wants to show off at dangerous moments.
Of course, the reason why those who complained about him was not because of how useless he was, but because of how "sister-controlled" he was.
Obtaining the trust and recognition of the sister-in-law's brother-in-law has always been an important foil for the male protagonist when trying to conquer female characters; and saving the brother-in-law from fire and water is an important way to gain the favorability of the sister and brother-in-law at once - it's all old tricks.
Ling Yao was surprised to meet Chen Xiaoxing in this place, but not so surprised:
Thousands of words are not enough to describe one sentence
——Isn’t it reasonable for my villain to fight with people from the protagonist’s camp? ?
As for the soul-fixing lotus... although it is not as good as the longevity flower, it is indeed a magical herb that calms the mind, calms the soul, cleanses the mind, and gets rid of inner demons. It is especially effective for those who are obsessed with it, or whose cultivation is stopped due to their mental state. It is worth it Several major families competed for it.
But the problem is, he has no chance to come into contact with any soul-fixing lotus this evening, let alone having such a thing hidden on his body and his aura being detected!
...Wait, detect the breath?
Ling Yao suddenly remembered the "teahouse with thin smoke and soft music" just now, and Zhou Yiyun's handbag that he took the initiative to look through in order to find dangerous items.
In fact, he had smelled a vague floral fragrance, but he always thought it was the scent of Zhou Yiyun's perfume lingering in the air.
But now that he had come to his senses, he could still smell the faint smell, which was very wrong.
Unless the perfume had a handle, it wouldn't be able to stay on his body after running for thousands of kilometers.
It turned out that the moment he appeared in front of Zhou Yiyun, he had been tricked by Xin Ran!
Soul-fixing lotus can not only calm the mind and calm the soul, but can also make people restless and dizzy, and can also be detected by special talismans.
And Xin Ran directly spent money on Zhou Yiyun, crushing an entire Soul-Dinging Lotus, just to make everyone present unconsciously contaminated with the breath of Soul-Dinging Lotus.
In this way, as long as these people, including Ling Yao, take action, people from the aristocratic family will naturally target them and hinder their arrest of Xin Ran or any other plans!
As for his meeting Chen Xiaoxing, he was probably planning it.
Otherwise, Chen Xiaoxing would not happen to bring a large group of people with him, as well as the Forbidden Qi Domain.
But whether it was Xin Ran's plan, or whether Li Jiaheng or someone else was involved, Ling Yao was still not sure.
Chen Xiaoxing himself is easy to fool, but these people around him must be carefully selected by the head of the Chen family to prevent cheating.
Therefore, Ling Yao's first goal is to "solve" all those people who may affect Chen Xiaoxing's judgment.
Without the direct support of Zhenqi, Ling Yao's movement speed instantly dropped a lot. But compared to these ordinary people, he is still blindingly fast
——The sword rises and falls, and the clothes fly.
There is no colorful change of true energy, nor the flow of light and shadow after the sword is unsheathed.
The howling wind, the flashing shadows, just for a moment, the dark crowd had already fallen.
If Xin Ran thinks that these ordinary people can stop him just because he is unwilling to kill ordinary people, then he is wrong.
After all, he has been a doctor in this life. Even if he fights with his bare hands, he knows how to make people lose their fighting ability.
There are so many people now, so it just takes a little effort.
Probably because Ling Yao's momentum was too strong, and because it was hard to see whether the fallen person was dead or alive in the darkness, the few people protecting Chen Xiaoxing were so frightened that they held Chen Xiaoxing back and backed away, as if they were about to lead them away at any moment.
On the contrary, Chen Xiaoxing stared with a pair of clear and stupid eyes, and sighed with envy:
"Wow, can a cultivator be so powerful without relying on Qi? Then can I do the same? I want to learn too! Can you catch him and teach me!"
"Master, Master, stop reading and run! It's good that he hasn't been captured now!!!"
"But don't you say that you are so powerful that you just catch someone casually? Aren't you the ones who installed all the equipment, so you say it's foolproof?"
These bodyguards are really in trouble: we are so powerful, but we are targeting ordinary cultivators. Who would have thought that you would provoke a sixth-level master without any care at all, and you would risk your life! !
It's a pity that at this critical moment, no one remembers who was the one who suggested it in the first place and coaxed the young master to lead his group to surround Ling Yao.
Ling Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued. Now he hit three people on the head with his sheath, patted five back of the neck muscles, stepped on the shoulders of several people in front and rushed forward. In two or three times, he came behind Chen Xiaoxing and the small group of people, and stretched out his hand. He punched the big, round man standing at the end so hard that he couldn't stand up.
However, the moment he stretched out his left hand to grab Chen Xiaoxing, his scalp suddenly went numb. He shook the scabbard on his right hand and threw it fiercely into the air behind him, flashing a dazzling sword arc in the darkness.
Accompanying Ling Yao's sudden movement was an even more sudden loud noise.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Phew—pop!
This voice was very familiar to Ling Yao. Isn't this the sound of the new weapon he has often played with since Raven Base, the enchanted gun! ?
One of the enchanted bullets hit the scabbard thrown out by Ling Yao without missing a beat, and flew out diagonally along with the scabbard that had a dent in it, and exploded with a string of sparks under the ripples of true energy. .
But the remaining bullets did not miss. Following two screams, two figures in the crowd fell to the ground.
Ling Yao would not think that the two shots were fired at the wrong person.
The mantis stalks the cicada but the oriole follows behind?
He turned around and saw Chen Xiaoxing, who had escaped from his control, with a frightened and stunned expression on his face, and felt that the matter was getting more complicated and confusing.
No, maybe... it was actually very clear, but he had never thought about it in this direction before.
He seemed to suddenly realize something and rushed towards Chen Xiaoxing.
"Get out of the way!"
That shot was not aimed at him, but at Chen Xiaoxing.
Several people around Chen Xiaoxing had fallen, and Ling Yao couldn't even see clearly how they were defeated.
And when he grabbed Chen Xiaoxing's back collar, blood instantly soaked his cuffs.
Chen Xiaoxing's pale face was filled with fear as he was being pushed backwards, as if he wanted to say something to him, but could not say it anymore.
- His throat had been cut.
This wound looked as if Ling Yao had cut it open with that specially crafted sword.
At this point, what else doesn’t Ling Yao understand?
Enchanted bullets, cuts, all casualties now point to me, who seems to be the only one present.
But he couldn't care about that at the moment. He held Chen Xiaoxing's wound tightly and used the remaining energy in his body to try to contain the huge amount of bleeding.
Chen Xiaoxing's artery was cut instead of his trachea. Although it looks terrible, people will not die immediately.
Generally speaking, there is only five minutes of rescue time, but if you can continue to use Qi to stop the bleeding and temporarily glue the broken blood vessels, you can last at least another twenty minutes.
"Call the [main station], this is [J89 Lingyao]. The person who blocked it was confirmed to be the Chen family [Chen Xiaoxing]. During the negotiation, they were attacked by an unknown third party. There were suspected to be more than three people, carrying guns and controlled knives.
At present, many people have been shot. [Chen Xiaoxing] had his throat cut. He still has vital signs and is undergoing emergency rescue. We are requesting support from the medical and duty teams! ! "
