Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 900 - 768: Get Lost – 69 Speechless (Double-Length - )

Qu Jianlei glanced at him and shook his head silently, "It’s easy for us to say, but their cultivation level is a bit lacking."The Paranoid is great in every way except that he doesn’t value low-tier Awakened ones enough, living like a lone wolf really that comfortable?

However, considering this person was once betrayed by Pierre, he couldn’t quite blame him.

Bentley raised an eyebrow at the words, straightforwardly expressing, "I promise not to hold us back."

Flower Scorpion raised an eyebrow too, ready to speak—when it comes to risking it all, who’s afraid of whom?

"Sigh," the Paranoid rarely sighed lightly, "I kind of envy you for having such a team."

This sentiment came from the heart; although he was a prodigy, he had grown smoothly within the system.

He hasn’t constantly fought on the front lines, naturally lacking comrades he can trust with his life.

The Paranoid could feel that these low-tier Awakened ones were speaking truthfully, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy.

So he suggested another idea, "Since that’s the case, why not ask Rhine for a favor?"

It’s unknown if this guy’s mouth was blessed, but soon after, Rhine sent a communication.

She had already heard about the recent events; on her own territory, her information was really quite sharp.

Rhine proactively contacted them, wanting to know what plans Rhodiola rosea had, so she could cooperate actively.

As for Qu Jianlei having ripped off the other party’s arm, she didn’t even mention it.

Qu Jianlei naturally feigned innocence, "Let’s not talk about my intentions for now, what’s this conscription about?"

Rhine had more information than him, so she explained, saying that a Supreme from the Anomalous Management Division had died on Celestial Hook Star.

The Anomalous Management Division kept this news tightly under wraps, but Rhine even knew that the deceased Supreme was Arc Light.

This shows her intelligence capabilities are indeed impressive.

However, what surprised Qu Jianlei was that the Anomalous Management Division’s analysis concluded: the murderer was likely part of Ran Bingluan’s gang!

This left him a bit dumbfounded, "Unless I remember incorrectly, hasn’t this team been wanted for a long time? Are they still daring to operate?"

"That’s hard to say," Rhine answered sternly, "The Guardian Supreme of Celestial Hook was also present but got knocked out."

She’s only at the peak of A-level, no matter how strong her backing is, it’s not appropriate to directly name Chi Yang.

Chi Yang, that guy... Qu Jianlei was really speechless, why be so hard on yourself?

He was absolutely sure that when he and the Paranoid left the scene, Chi Yang was conscious.

So this guy feigning unconsciousness was just to shirk responsibility, but for a Supreme to stoop to such a level... where’s the integrity?

As for Chi Yang not leaking information about the teleportation array, Qu Jianlei was initially stunned but then understood instantly.

If Chi Yang dared to report truthfully, the Anomalous Management Division could assert that Arc Light’s death implicated him.

Moreover, the sensitivity of the teleportation array, Chi Yang was certainly well aware; if exposed, it could provoke severe retaliation.

So not only did this guy cover up the truth, he even tried to steer the blame towards Ran Bingluan’s team.

It’s not that he had any major feuds with Ran Bingluan, but in the entire Celestial Hook Star Realm, those capable and daring enough to kill an Arc Light Supreme were likely only Ran Bingluan’s team.

There are indeed many fugitives in the Asteroid Belt, plenty of Supremes, but who would dare to poke the hornet’s nest of the Anomalous Management Division?

What’s more convincing is that Ran Bingluan’s team has a motive to oppose the Anomalous Management Division!

Once Qu Jianlei understood the intricacies within, he couldn’t help but be amused; he genuinely didn’t want to further draw attention to Ran Bingluan.

To achieve this, when he and the Paranoid made their move, they initially chose to appear openly—something completely out of character for Ran Bingluan’s team.

Because of the teleportation array treasure, and since it’s an old affair from fifty years ago, he was very willing to pose as another faction.

Adding this faction to Ran Bingluan and Rhodiola rosea would surely make the Celestial Hook Star Realm lively in the future.

Qu Jianlei isn’t worried about being stretched thin; there’s no major force that isn’t adept at concealment.

Only by thoroughly muddying the waters can they better ensure their team’s development and growth.

As for trying to reduce attention on Ran Bingluan, the primary reason is that the matter involves Thunder Tribulation, which is so significant it might attract Supremes above the highest ranks.

Suppressing this hotspot is a necessity, otherwise it might truly draw in invincible entities.

Qu Jianlei once felt rather cunning in his planning.

And the Paranoid’s performance, lacking regard for anyone, showcased the audacious style of a strong team.

But after all the planning, he ironically overlooked that the Guardian Supreme Chi Yang outright lied.

He could understand having selfish intentions; however, Ran Bingluan reappearing in the sights of the Imperial high ranks genuinely troubled Qu Jianlei.

This time, it might indeed attract attention from higher levels within the Imperial, drawing even more advanced teams.

Apart from that, Qu Jianlei also thought he might find time to help Luo Hanshuang vent her anger, but now that’s impossible.

Another crucial point is the intersection between Ran Bingluan and Luo Hanshuang primarily happened at the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion.

Ran Bingluan’s reappearance will definitely lead the Imperial to intensify investigations and focus there.

In Qu Jianlei’s plan, the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion was a key strategy, even more important than the Maiden Star Realm.

After all, what he’s heard of the Maiden Star Realm’s wonders was just hearsay, but the extraordinariness of the Mist Mansion, he had experienced personally.

Now with this mess, for a considerably long period, he won’t consider entering there again.
