Chapter 639: The Return Trip


Outside the Ocean Abundance District Port in Jibeidiao Central City, an Ocean liner was anchored on the Sea surface.


Inside the cabin, a meeting was currently being held. To avoid being detected by Central City's Biological Field, the Biological Fields used here were independent.


"According to the information we have obtained, both targets will arrive in Central City between late January and early February, and our focus is on this person."


The light screen displayed half-length photos of Chen Chuan and Bureau Chief Lei one after another. With a tap of the meeting facilitator's hand, Chen Chuan's photo was enlarged separately.


This was obviously a recently obtained photo, because Chen Chuan was wearing the uniform of a Processing Bureau Execution Captain, and even just looking at it, one could sense a sense of heroism.


"The National Highway is the best place to deal with the target."


The meeting facilitator steadied himself, retracted his gaze from Chen Chuan's half-length photo, and continued, "The Processing Bureau attaches great importance to this target. If we send a message in advance, they may send someone to meet him. In that case, we will have to consider finding a way to block him. The target himself has extremely strong practical Martial Combat abilities, so we only have one chance."


Jian Cheng Sheng was standing aside with his knife in his arms. He was staring at Chen Chuan's photo, as well as the various text annotations displayed next to it. These included the detailed Data found by Sister Huan and others.


This allowed him to understand his opponent in more detail, so as to establish a certain advantage in advance.

He knew that this was an Ambush, not a competition, so there was no need to care about fairness. In fact, in most cases, the competition between Martial Artist was not fair.

Battles are only divided into victory and defeat. Only the victor has the qualification to talk about the future. The loser has nothing. For this reason, all available conditions can be used to achieve the goal.


"Mr. Jian Cheng," the meeting facilitator said to him, "This time, we have hired two Third-Limit Martial Artists to cooperate with you. They will not interfere in the battle between you and the target, but are only responsible for finishing up and covering, to prevent anyone from interfering with you."


This move was not to respect the battle between the two, but out of practical considerations.


From the previous battles, ordinary Third-Limit Martial Artists had almost no ability to threaten Chen Chuan . Rashly joining the battle might be used by him, thereby Influencing Jian Cheng Sheng's performance, so these two were simply auxiliary existences.


In order to prevent the Processing Bureau from finding out the news, these two people were all transferred from Central City, which was relatively far away.


Jian Cheng Sheng seemed not to hear his words. He sat there motionless, his eyes only focused on the Data, and after a long time, he said, "I need a Private room."


The meeting facilitator immediately instructed a manager, "You take Mr. Jian Cheng over there."


Jian Cheng Sheng stood up, bowed to the meeting facilitator, and followed the manager out, and came to a Training room on the ship specially prepared for people like him.


After the others went out, he took off his shoes, came to the middle of the Training room, sat down, and silently recalled the Data he had just seen.


He noticed one thing: Chen Chuan seemed to have not suffered any serious harm in every verifiable battle. Whether it was Iron Body Training or Skills, this would cause trouble for his attacks.


He closed his eyes. In his Spirit World, an image was constantly brewing. When he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be an extra shadow in front of him.


That person was illusory and unreal, like a transparent mist, standing not far in front of him. In his eyes, that was what Chen Chuan looked like.


He turned slightly, raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the knife, stared for a moment, and suddenly drew his knife out of its sheath and slashed horizontally!


However, when the blade reached the side of the phantom, it suddenly stopped, as if there was an invisible barrier there, preventing him from completing the knife's momentum.


He breathed out, took a step back, and slowly Sheathed his knife. After a while, he slashed out another knife, but this time it still stopped in front of the phantom.


He stepped back again, sheathed his knife, stared at the phantom in front of him, and said in a determined tone, "My knife is not sharp enough."


After thinking for a while, he walked out of the room and said to the manager waiting outside, "I need something, something that cannot be cut open."


The manager politely asked, "Mr. Jian Cheng, can I ask what this is?"


Jian Cheng Sheng said very frankly, "I don't know."


"Don't know?"


The manager was stunned. He thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Then Mr. Jian Cheng, can I know what this thing is for?"


Jian Cheng Sheng said seriously and earnestly, "It is related to eliminating the target."


The manager thought for a while and said, "Okay, we will try our best."


"Please!"


Jian Cheng Sheng bowed slightly.


The manager quickly returned a salute, and then immediately reported Jian Cheng Sheng's needs to the person in charge here.


"Something that cannot be cut open? What is that?" The person in charge frowned. "He doesn't even know himself? How are we supposed to find it?"


However, one of the participants in the cabin suddenly thought of something and said, "I think I might know what he wants."


He met the gazes of everyone in the conference room and said, "High Heaven Jade, something produced by the High Heaven Sect. It is said that this thing is indestructible, but in this jade, there are also very few "Jade Cores'. It is said to be the hardest thing in the world. Rumor has it that this thing can also help Martial Artist sublimate their Spirit."


"Is this what he needs?"


"It should be. That Jade Core is said to be the sacred object of the High Heaven Sect and is usually kept secret. Jian Cheng Sheng is bringing it up at this time, probably just to satisfy his own needs."


The person in charge didn't care about this, but said, "Now that he is our knife, shouldn't we find a whetstone for him before the battle to make him sharper? Whether it's for his own self-interest or this Jade Core is really useful, we should try our best to satisfy him."


Someone said, "But that's the sacred object of the High Heaven Sect..."


"In the face of the Company's interests, everything must give way."


The High Heaven Sect used to have a very large force and a wide Influence range. It had a large number of followers on the ocean, but that was in the old times. Because it gave the Imperial Family great help in the civil war in which Da Shun overthrew the Imperial Family, the Great Shun Government has been suppressing it and trying to eliminate its Influence.


Especially now that there is still an Army stationed on the former site of the High Heaven Sect's sacred land, this has severely damaged the sect. Now the most Influential figures of the sect are gathered around the Gong Family and are just sticking together to keep warm. Their power has become very limited.


The Ferris Wheel Corporation now gathers the technology and capital of various island nations in the Outer Ocean, has its own armed Strength, and its Influence on the island nations is increasing day by day.


The person in charge said, "Send someone to the High Heaven Sect and have them take the thing out. I demand that the thing be delivered to his hands in the shortest possible time!"


On January 26th, the day Chen Chuan set to return to Central City, Yu Wan's family sent him to the alleyway. After waving goodbye to his family, he got into the Jiade car under the watchful eyes of Yu Wan's family and drove away from the Patrol Bureau family area.


They did not go directly out of the city along the main road, but turned to the square in front of Wuyi Academy. Wu Han and Wei Dong were already waiting here, carrying large and small bags and their own weapons.


Chen Chuan honked the horn twice, stopped in front of them, got out of the car and greeted them, then opened the trunk and helped them put their things in.


After getting into the car and sitting down, he took out two boxes from the storage box and handed them to them.


"You said last time that you wanted to come to Central City. This is the Boundary Token I prepared for you in advance."


Wu Han and Wei Dong took it curiously. When they opened it, they saw that it looked like a slender bone-like connection network, which could be connected to the head, neck, and shoulders. However, except for some main parts that were more obvious, ordinary people could hardly see the specific existence of the rest from a distance.


The one Chen Chuan gave them was a more moderate model, with basic functions, much better than the one Old Qi had given him before.


But he didn't give them too good ones. It wasn't to save this little money, but with the style of these two, it's really hard to say how long this Boundary Token can last.


Wei Dong poked it with his finger at this time, and the Boundary Token trembled slightly. He said, "This thing seems to be alive."


Wu Han said, "Didn't Junior Brother say that this thing is alive? Of course, it will move if it's alive."


He looked up at Chen Chuan and said, "Chen, we also have something to give you." Saying that, he rummaged through the bag he was carrying and took a delicate black and white wooden box from the top.


Chen Chuan took it and opened it. He saw a box of throwing pebbles, each of which was polished smoothly and delicately. He picked up one and looked at it, "This is made of hard rock from Zhang Mountain, right?"


"That's right."


Wu Han smiled and said, "Wei Dong , Junior Brother Luo, and I asked people who knew about it, and then went to Zhang Mountain to find it. Finally, we found a few suitable ones and knocked them out.


This thing is really hard. Wei Dong was responsible for making these into uniform pieces, and Junior Brother Luo and I found suitable ones to polish. The beautiful box outside was made by Junior Brother Feng himself.


Oh, these are all polished according to the appearance of the pebbles you used before. I don’t know if you like them."


Chen Chuan smiled and said, "You have put your heart into it. I like it very much. Thank you."


Although the value of this thing itself is not high, this intention is priceless and very memorable. He decided not to take it out for use, but to put it in his weapon collection room after returning.


He turned to the front, started the car, put his hand on the steering wheel, and looked at the open road. He said, "You two, sit tight, we are about to set off."
