Chapter 96: Pursuit (1)
Little South Mountain .
Su Chen pointed at a craggy mountain path and said, “Yu Wei took this path in the illusion, but he didn’t go all the way down . Because I don’t know anything about the Little South Mountain, I wasn’t able to produce any more detailed content .
“As long as we have the direction, things will be easy enough . Leave the rest to my people,” Ji Hanyan nodded at the people behind her . A group of people wearing Investigations Bureau uniforms entered the mountain .
Ji Hanyan had taken twelve people with her on this expedition . They were few in number, but they were all elites, and the weakest one was a Qi Drawing Realm cultivator .
The rarest of all was that these people were all extremely skilled in investigative techniques . They were very experienced in pursuing people .
The twelve patrolmen dispersed in all directions and very quickly disappeared into the depths of Little South Mountain . All that remained was to wait to hear back .
This wait lasted all of three days .
Three days later, a patrolman returned, having discovered a dubious point .
A cave in the side of the mountain was covered in vines that covered up the mouth of the cave .
“The vines near the cave aren’t naturally-occurring; they were transplanted there and have been pruned as well . Human feces were found nearby, and the grass in front of the cave has signs of being well-trod . From this we can determine that that cave is extremely suspicious,” one of the young patrolmen said, sitting atop a not-too-distant tree as he pointed at the cave .
A satisfied expression appeared on Ji Hanyan’s face . “Well done, Little Blue . Grab the brothers and search the surrounding are a little more carefully . See if there are any other entrances or exits, but don’t get close to it . We don’t want to beat the grass and scare the snake . ”
“Yes, sir!”
Simultaneously, Ji Hanyan began to ask for reinforcements .
The Spirit Race were truly existences that were tough to deal with . Su Chen and Ji Hanyan weren’t so excessively proud that they believed that they could handle the situation on their own .
Upon hearing that there were traces of the Spirit Race near Little South Mountain, An Siyuan immediately sent armed forces as backup to surround the mountain . He even came personally – this involved a member of a different race and was a big deal . Even the slightest neglect would be severely punished by Long Sang Country .
In the forest that the Little South Mountain protruded out of, An Siyuan and Lu Qingguang met with Su Chen and Ji Hanyan . Cloud Leopard also come; as a member of the Secret Task Force, whose duty was to preserve the peace of the country, matters involving the Spirit RAce also fell into his jurisdiction .
Sending so many experts wasn’t necessarily because they needed this many experts to deal with the Spirit Race individual . Rather, it was a fundamental attitude .
If the government wanted to apprehend a criminal, they wouldn’t send only two people just because the criminal was alone and only had a blade . They would definitely send out a group of nearly ten people to apprehend him and prevent any unexpected accidents from occurring .
From ancient times until now, using a much more powerful force to steamroll your opponents was the right path to take .
“If that’s the case, have you not seen that Spirit Race yet? And you can’t confirm that the Spirit Race individual is actually in there?” An Siyuan said in a low voice .
“Yes, we didn’t see it,” Su Chen replied . “As soon as we go in, it’s very likely that we’re going to alert our enemy . ”
Lu Qingguang said, “But that also means that this expedition might not result in anything even though we’ve taken such big measures . We might only end up making a fool of ourselves . Is that right?”
Su Chen glanced at him with some surprise . “The Spirit Race is strange and is always difficult to deal with . When faced with an opponent like this, we cannot be cautious enough . Ending up empty-handed is par for the course . Why does Sir Lu require us to have a hundred percent certainty before making a move?”
Lu Qingguang froze for a moment, but he only harrumphed and turned around, ignoring him .
When he saw him act like this, Su Chen frowned .
In this past half a year or so, he had heard a few rumors floating around even though most of the time he didn’t leave his house .
In this past half a year or so, he had heard a few rumors floating around even though most of the time he didn’t leave his house .
He had only chuckled at these rumors, believing that they wouldn’t affect wise people . Now, however, it seemed like the situation wasn’t actually that simple .
What he could overlook, other people might not be able to ignore . Even if no hatred arose because of this, there might be a few knots in his heart .
If that was the case, their plan wasn’t a complete waste .
An Siyuan also seemed to realize this . He glanced at Lu Qingguang, then said meaningfully, “Su Chen spoke correctly . This matter involving the Spirit Race is of utmost importance; we cannot be too cautious . Since everyone is already here, let’s prepare to go in . ”
“Please, City Lord, wait just a moment,” Su Chen replied .
“What is it?” An Siyuan asked .
“There’s another group of people who are coming . ”
“Another group of people?” An Siyuan was stunned . “Who?”
“Naturally, the Investigations Bureau,” Su Chen replied .
“The Investigations Bureau?” An Siyuan was stunned . “Why would they come?”
Chen Wenhui of the Investigations Bureau came from a Bloodline Nobility Clan and was a nephew of the Wang Clan . He had never showed An Siyuan any respect nor listened to his orders .
Su Chen calling the Investigations Bureau over as reinforcements was indeed strange .
Su Chen replied, “Of course they’ll come . Don’t forget, Vice Commander Ji is the Vice Commander of Bachuan’s Investigations Bureau . Her coming to Clear River City to handle a case naturally requires the local Investigations Bureau’s cooperation . Now that Vice Commander Ji has discovered traces of a Spirit Race individual, she must notify the Investigations Bureau, and they are duty-bound to send assistance for this case . ”
Su Chen replied, “Of course they’ll come . Don’t forget, Vice Commander Ji is the Vice Commander of Bachuan’s Investigations Bureau . Her coming to Clear River City to handle a case naturally requires the local Investigations Bureau’s cooperation . Now that Vice Commander Ji has discovered traces of a Spirit Race individual, she must notify the Investigations Bureau, and they are duty-bound to send assistance for this case . ”
Su Chen’s words were very factual, but An Siyuan was able to discern what he was thinking . “You mean……”
Su Chen calmly said, “The Spirit Race is powerful and can’t be underestimated . No one knows what kind of price we’ll pay fighting an existence like this . If a fight breaks out, perhaps a lot of people will die . ”
When he heard these words, An Siyuan understood Su Chen’s intentions . He chuckled darkly, “That’s right, it’s impossible for no one to die in this battle . The Investigations Bureau is responsible for internal security . Assisting Bachuan in capturing this Spirit Race individual is part of their duty; it will be hard for them to avoid suffering loss . ”
The people from the Investigations Bureau quickly arrived .
Chen Wenhui had brought seventy or so Investigations Bureau individuals with him . When he saw An Siyuan, his expression immediately became a bit ugly .
An Siyuan spread his hands . “Long time no see, Commander Chen . ”
Chen Wenhui harrumphed and turned around, ignoring him .
Ji Hanyan was in business mode . “I don’t care what kind of under-the-table grudges you have against each other . Our task today is to deal with the Spirit Race . If either of you messes things up big-time, don’t blame me for reporting this to the higher-ups . ”
Chen Wenhui harrumphed coldly, “I know what to do . ”
“If that’s the case, then go and do it . ”
Ji hanyan took the lead and walked towards the cave .
This woman was really quite bold . She led the group all the way at the front . Su Chen, who was somewhat worried for her, could only follow closely behind . Cloud Leopard was not far off either .
The original plan of using the Investigations Bureau as expendables fell to the wayside .
However, this also set Chen Wenhui’s mind at ease a bit, greatly decreasing his suspicions of what was happening .

However, this also set Chen Wenhui’s mind at ease a bit, greatly decreasing his suspicions of what was happening .
The cave was dark and damp, exuding an almost poisonous atmosphere .
The tunnel was winding and long . In the darkness, it was hard to tell how long it was .
One of the patrolmen lit up a crystal lamp, the light illuminating the path in front of the group of people as they groped their way forward .
After walking for who knows how long, they suddenly heard a roaring of flapping wings as a colony of bats flew in their direction, giving everyone quite the fright . Some people lost their cool and attacked . A wave of flames surged forward, burning those bats to a crisp, but it also caused quite a commotion . A massive wave of motion flew in their direction, complete with squeaking and flapping .
“Dammit, can you keep the noise down a little bit?” Chen Wenhui’s face reddened as he cursed at his subordinates .
It was his subordinates who had lost their cool and made the commotion .
“Forget about it . The Spirit Race has a lot of tactics up their sleeves . Even if we didn’t make a commotion, we probably wouldn’t be able to keep the wool over their eyes . ” An Siyuan was still the most calm .
Since they had already made a lot of noise, everyone didn’t try to stay hidden anymore . They made quick pace as they continued to advance .
Finally, they arrived at a stone room .
Within the stone room, a black-robed person was standing their, his back to them .
A strange, enigmatic voice echoed throughout the room: “Welcome, everyone, to Silence’s laboratory . ”
