Chapter 676: Chapter 148: Difficult Road Ahead (6000+)_4
Li Fei nodded, “Alright, what about Zhu San?”
“Zhu San is somewhat special. This person’s appearance has been completely altered, even the bones of the body. We can’t restore his original look, nor can we determine his exact age. The magic implant he uses is quite ordinary and widely sourced, making it difficult to trace. I’ve heard he has a flying escape magic tool, which is extremely rare, and I need to investigate through this tool.”
After He Jian finished speaking, he stared intently at Li Fei.
The flying escape magic tool left by Zhu San can actually be considered an important piece of evidence, and it can be confiscated.
Both the Zhi Ge Pavilion and the Monitoring Pavilion often used such reasons to seize good items during past investigations.
But the flying boat is Li Fei’s spoils of war, and no one dares to take things from the Marquis of Jing’an, so now this thing is in Li Fei’s hands, and no one has come to claim it.
Only He Jian would dare to directly ask Li Fei to hand over the magic tool.
In the old man’s eyes, investigating the case always comes first.
“Sorry, I still have use for this magic tool at the moment, so I can’t lend it to you for investigation now. Once I’m done, I can lend it to you to investigate.”
Li Fei said to He Jian.
His combat power has greatly reduced now, and having a flying escape magic tool makes him much safer.
He Jian frowned, “What else do you need to get busy with next? Isn’t the Tianshui Tomb already destroyed?”
“I need to handle some cultivation matters, which are very important.”
Li Fei didn’t elaborate much, “Ye Zhao has already been sent to Lanling City, as long as he opens his mouth, I believe the Heavenly Altar assassination case can be closed.”
He is now basically certain that the New Heaven Association is the mastermind behind the Heavenly Altar assassination case, but lacks effective evidence.
As long as Ye Zhao speaks up, the Heavenly Altar assassination case is as good as closed.
Hearing the name ‘Ye Zhao’, He Jian’s expression softened a bit.
After all, Ye Zhao was captured alive by Li Fei.
If the case is indeed closed based on Ye Zhao’s testimony, Li Fei would be the top contributor!
“Sir He, I hope you can return to Lanling City to prepare first. When Ye Zhao arrives in Lanling City, I hope you will conduct the interrogation yourself.”
Li Fei stated his intention.
He didn’t feel secure leaving Ye Zhao’s interrogation to someone else.
He Jian also understood the importance of Ye Zhao, “But I can’t guarantee if I can interrogate him.”
Li Fei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will petition His Majesty to have you fully preside over the interrogation.”
He Jian initially wanted to question whether His Majesty would definitely listen to him?
But he immediately recalled that group of disciples recently chanting ‘Ancient and Modern First Tao Foundation Period’, suddenly thinking Li Fei might not be boasting.
Perhaps His Majesty would give this Marquis of Jing’an some face?
“Then I’ll trouble you, Sir He.”
After seeing He Jian, Li Fei met Lv Wenxing, gave him some instructions, and finally found Qin Zhen:
“Senior Qin, we can set out now.”
Qin Zhen’s replies were always simple.
So Li Fei took out a basin-sized black boat from the wooden box on his back, then formed a sign with his hands, continuously feeding void thought into it.
He still hadn’t fully carried out sacrificial training on this flying escape magic tool.
Sacrificial training means that one’s void thought can resonate with the magic tool, which is the major characteristic of the Possession Stage, greatly enhancing a magic tool’s power.
Currently, Li Fei had only, under the guidance of True Master Qing Ding, dispelled all ‘tricks’ left inside the black boat and could preliminarily control this magic tool.
However, this was already enough.
Soon, the basin-sized black boat turned into a vessel that could accommodate at least five people.
Li Fei and Qin Zhen stood on the black boat.
Just as Li Fei was about to perform magic to control the black boat to rise into the air, a voice suddenly came:
“Marquis of Jing’an!”
Li Fei looked back, and a figure in red caught his eye.
Shen Tuyue had arrived.
“Miss Shen, is there something the matter?”
Shen Tuyue looked at Li Fei, a hint of a smile appearing on her face:
“Within the Tao Foundation Realm, I dare not challenge you, but I have found the opportunity for a breakthrough. I hope next time we meet, I can compete with you!”
Li Fei was startled, and a smile appeared on his face:
“Congratulations, Miss Shen.”
Martial artists at the peak of the Tao Foundation Stage have a chance to break through to become Martial Arts Masters, but it is just that, a chance.
No one can guarantee they can break through with a hundred percent certainty.
Shen Tuyue finding a breakthrough opportunity was as if she had already put half a foot into the Martial Arts Master’s realm!
Both Zhu Fenghua and Shen Tuyue felt that Li Fei breaking through to become a Martial Arts Master was a matter of course.
Perhaps now the entire world thought so as well.
But only Li Fei knew that the road ahead might be very difficult.
“Alright, I hope next time we meet, you and I can have a chance to compete.”
Li Fei cupped his hands towards Shen Tuyue, performing a martial artist’s greeting.
Shen Tuyue returned the greeting.
Then, under her gaze, the black boat emitted a light, quickly ascended, and flew higher and higher.
Finally, it disappeared into the sky.
