Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1561 - 358: Girl, Where Do You Think You’re Going?

Elder Hua replied: "Sect Leader Brother, I'm not suggesting we avoid avenging our two brothers, but this issue can't be approached in that fashion."

"So, how should we proceed then?"

Chang Xuzi inquired.

Elder Hua explained: "This Chen Jiusi managed to overcome the combined assault from Qin Qi and our two brothers, which demonstrates his formidable power. Even against him, Brother, victory isn't guaranteed for you."

At these words, Chang Xuzi grew quiet. He knew full well the extent of Chen Jiusi's capabilities. To subdue him would likely leave even Chang Xuzi wounded, turning the confrontation into a desperate battle.

Elder Shu nodded upon hearing this and remarked: "So, you're implying that if we can't defeat him, we simply forget about revenging our First and Second Brothers?"

Elder Hua answered: "Third Brother, why view me in that light? My point is we must avenge our Senior and Second Brothers, yet without endangering ourselves needlessly."

"If there's a safe method for retribution, what could it be?"

Elder Shu questioned.

Elder Hua responded: "Risks remain, but we mustn't rush in without a plan like fools."

Elder Shu scowled in irritation and demanded: "Who are you calling thoughtless?"

Just as Elder Hua opened his mouth, Chang Xuzi cut in: "Enough with the brotherly squabbles that lead nowhere. Fourth Brother, what's your idea?"

Elder Hua suggested: "Sect Leader Brother, now that we've formed a solid alliance with King Qi Residence, and with this grave incident unfolding, they surely won't stand by idly. We can request that King Qi Residence dispatch some powerhouses to assist in handling Chen Jiusi."

Chang Xuzi furrowed his brow and asked: "Will King Qi Residence truly dispatch aid to us without any incentive?"

Elder Hua gazed at Chang Xuzi and said: "What do you mean without incentive? Our Kunlun's two elders perished while helping the court seize Liu Futong’s granddaughter. Not only has Liu Futong’s granddaughter evaded capture, but now a formidable foe like Chen Jiusi has arisen. Seeking aid from King Qi Residence isn't merely for our benefit."

"Primarily, we urge King Qi Residence to back us in apprehending Liu Futong’s granddaughter, and in the process, seize Chen Jiusi to eliminate this dire threat to the Prince. He will undoubtedly agree to assist."

Chang Xuzi mulled over these words and grasped the key elements. With the Six Great Sects poised to assault Bright Peak, Liu Futong’s granddaughter served as a vital factor, and King Qi would take interest solely for that reason.

With this insight, Chang Xuzi declared: "Indeed, Fourth Brother makes a valid point. The issue with Chen Jiusi extends beyond our Sect alone. I'll dispatch individuals to request that King Qi sends someone to apprehend Chen Jiusi."

Elder Hua nodded at this and affirmed: "Precisely the right course of action."

Before long, the group reached a consensus on the plan to enlist King Qi's experts for jointly confronting Chen Jiusi.

Turning his gaze to Xu Caijin, Chang Xuzi asked: "In which direction did Chen Jiusi flee?"

Xu Caijin indicated a direction, and Chang Xuzi instructed Elder Shu: "Verify this with others."

Elder Shu smirked and replied: "Sure thing."

He then mingled with the crowd, selected a handful of unlucky souls at random, and returned swiftly: "They spoke truthfully; he headed that way for certain."

Chang Xuzi glanced toward the direction indicated by the group.

"Fourth Brother, what's the nearest location in that direction?"

Elder Hua answered: "I believe it's Lantian County."

Lantian?

Chang Xuzi muttered, then promptly gestured with his hand: "Let's head there and investigate."

In short order, Chang Xuzi guided the followers onward. As they departed, Sun Cong exhaled deeply in relief; the earlier tension had been harrowing, akin to a deadly chase with the Grim Reaper. It felt like any unsatisfactory answer might provoke a sudden lethal strike from them.

Noticing this, Xu Caijin also let out a relieved breath, escaping the disaster that had nearly ensnared him during this delivery mission.

The party withdrew from the area with minimal harm.

Meanwhile, deep within a far-off woodland.

*Panting sounds*...

The unattractive girl dashed away in frenzy, glancing backward now and then to check if the fearsome pursuer was gaining, her mind overwhelmed by dread.

*Footsteps*...

She bolted in sheer panic.

Her wounds hindered her Qinggong execution, yet she clenched her teeth and deployed her Butterfly Body Technique.

This Butterfly Body Technique, a supreme Qinggong inherited from her grandfather Liu Futong, had been imparted to her directly.

With gritted teeth, she hurtled onward into the forest's heart at tremendous velocity.

Yet, the figure trailing her moved even swifter, slicing through the trees like a thunderbolt, quick as a streak of lightning.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*

Amid the forest's core, one escaped while the other hunted, the gap between them shrinking swiftly.

The ugly girl peered back at her pursuer. Despite his blazing speed, his expression remained relaxed, as though enjoying a casual walk.

Enraged, the ugly girl yelled: "You despicable fellow, what's your intent—a mature man pursuing a girl like me?"

Chen Jie shot back: "Miss, I rescued you, yet you offer no 'thank you'? Who's the real offender here, me or you for your rudeness?"

"What's your problem anyway? True heroes from chivalry perform deeds without seeking gratitude. Why insist I express thanks?"

The ugly girl fired back in fury.

Chen Jie chuckled lightly: "Miss, perhaps you're misconstruing the situation. I'm no hero and certainly don't act without expecting recompense."

"Besides, it appears you recognize my identity. You've likely learned from your elders about my connections to your Zoroastrian Sect. Do you honestly believe I'd allow your escape?"
