I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 662: The Master Attacks

Before long, Wang Lan unearthed a secret chamber. Why did these four major families have such a penchant for building underground chambers, especially ones that invariably seemed to conceal people?

Upon entering the underground chamber, a girl in her late teens was bound to a chair in an extremely shameful manner, her mouth stuffed with a gag. So vile, so perverse.

With a flick of Wang Lan’s finger, the ropes around the girl snapped. "Don’t hurt me, please, I beg you, don’t hurt me... I’ll agree to anything you want, just don’t hurt me," she pleaded.

"Don’t be afraid, we’re from the Tianjian Bureau. What’s your name? Why did the Han Family tie you up and bring you here?"

"You’re from the Tianjian Bureau? From Jiang Province? Is it Xu City’s? Where’s my dad? And my mom?"

"This is Huzhou Province."

"Ah? Huzhou? That far away? Can I see your ID?" The girl was surprisingly cautious. Most girls, upon learning they were being rescued, would have been too overcome with emotion to ask for identification.

Liu Yuxin unfolded his ID and held it up for the young girl to see. She glanced at it briefly and then quickly returned it to Liu Yuxin with reverence.

"My name is Tian Min. I live in Xu City, Jiang Province. Both my parents are special agents of the Tianjian Bureau. I just graduated from high school this year. I was practicing piano at home when suddenly someone burst in. I didn’t even have a chance to shout before I was knocked out. When I came to, I was already here," she explained.

"You’re Tian Min?" Liu Yuxin seemed startled and took a good look at Tian Min before nodding. "The whole TikTok is searching for you. Many people guessed you’d been killed already."

"What does the Han Family want with you?" Wang Lan asked. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"They’re just lunatics, probably have a grudge against my uncle. First, they asked if I knew my uncle, then slashed my hand and stuffed a jade plaque into it. They waited for a long time, complaining about why the jade plaque wasn’t reacting.

"But then something happened at their home. Someone shouted that ’the calamity star’ had arrived, and they all rushed out. After that, I heard a lot of noise, explosions and such. It sounded very intense."

"The photo they showed you was of whom?"

"My uncle!" Tian Min said helplessly. "Although I haven’t seen him in many years."

Wang Lan quickly took out his phone and opened the photo gallery. "Is it this man?"

"Uh...you don’t plan to ask me if I recognize this person and then cut my palm to draw blood, do you? It hurts a lot..." The girl hastily moved her hands behind her back, asking nervously.

"We are special agents of the Tianjian Bureau, what are you thinking? We’re just trying to figure out why the Han Family kidnapped you," Wang Lan assured her.

"Yes, that’s my uncle, but... I haven’t seen him for many years," she admitted.

"This Han Family really is something," Liu Yuxin cursed disdainfully. "The Qi Family abducted Wen Tao. After we rescued and protected him so they couldn’t get their hands on him, they turned their attention to Tian Min. They’re really courting death."

A gleam flashed in Wang Lan’s eyes. How could it be such a coincidence? The Qi Family had just kidnapped Wen Tao when the perpetrator wiped out their entire clan. Now, not long after the Han Family kidnapped Tian Min, attempting to unlock the secret of the Kirin Jade Plaque, they too were slaughtered.

Could the killer be protecting the Zhang Family bloodline? No, that can’t be right; the Zhao Family hadn’t done anything, yet they were annihilated even sooner than the Han Family.

"By the way, do you know roughly when the Han Family met with disaster?"

"Around twelve o’clock, I think. An old man said it was noon, that they should eat first and try again in the afternoon. They kept saying it was the Zhang Family bloodline and there must be a way. Then, a subordinate rushed in, saying something like ’the calamity star has arrived,’ and they all rushed out," she recounted.

Suddenly, Wang Lan’s expression became grave. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I’m sure!"

A flash of understanding sparked in Wang Lan’s eyes as he abruptly lifted his head. "Take today’s knocked-out special agents into custody."

Liu Yuxin looked at Wang Lan, puzzled and bewildered. Wang Lan commanded coldly, "Those brothers are problematic."

"Oh, okay, I’ll have today’s operational squad taken into custody immediately."

Outside the Han Family premises, several Tianjian Bureau special agents were leisurely smoking when multiple figures suddenly appeared. The four agents were startled and immediately prepared to retaliate. But as soon as they recognized the arrivals, they stopped their defensive moves in their tracks.

"Damn, it’s you guys. Trying to scare me to death?"

"On the orders of the Director, the Baiphosphorus City Branch Thor Special Action Team is to be taken into custody. Please stop resisting and cooperate with us."

"Wang, do you realize what you’re saying?"

"Sorry, I’m just following orders."

"Wang, we’re brothers, brothers who’ve been through life and death together."

"Why are you detaining us? What did we do wrong? Even if the Han Family has been wiped out, it’s not our fault. Director, you must be fair. We were knocked unconscious... knocked out..."

"Director, we just came back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate, you can’t treat us like this—"

"Quiet down!" Liu Yuxin shouted fiercely, emerging with a sullen face. "Anyone who didn’t know better might think I was about to execute you all right now! What’s all this racket?

"No one said you’re guilty. We’re just asking for your cooperation in the investigation. And tell me the truth: were the four of you actually at the Han residence, or did you sneak off somewhere to fool around?"

"No, not at all!" The four men shook their heads vehemently.

"We were at the Han Family’s the whole time and did not abandon our posts."

"Indeed, you didn’t abandon your posts," Wang Lan’s voice sounded as he walked out from the inner hall. "But you stood by and watched as the Han Family was slaughtered, without even reporting it to your superiors."

"Ah? Greedy Wolf Crown, we didn’t..."

"No, we didn’t!"

"When do you say you were knocked unconscious?"

"Twelve... Twelve-thirty, twelve-thirty."

"What exact time was it?"

"Twelve twenty, I guess..."

"Twelve twenty? By twelve twenty, the Han Family grounds were likely already a ruin!" Wang Lan sneered, picking up a stack of papers. "I just had the communications department pull the activity logs for all deceased Han Family members.

"You might not know this, but modern mobile phones, as long as they have a SIM card, can be located by satellite with an accuracy of within one meter. All Han Family members were very active at twelve o’clock. After twelve, the number of active signals drastically decreased.

"In other words, the killer began the massacre at twelve o’clock. Using these phone locations, I can even determine the order of their deaths and thus calculate the precise time of death for each.

"By twelve-fifteen, there was almost no sign of activity from the Han Family. And you’re telling me you were only knocked out at twelve twenty?"

"Maybe... perhaps I remembered wrong, we must have been knocked out at twelve."

Wang Lan pulled out the last four papers. "But the fact is, your four phones were still active at twelve twenty. Are you trying to tell me you were sleepwalking after being knocked out?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Tianjian Bureau agents tensed. They instantly backed away, surrounding Tan Kai, Kong Xin, and the other two in the center.

"Hehehe... Hahaha... Wang Lan is truly deserving of his reputation, and Greedy Wolf lives up to his name. You are indeed as formidable as the rumors say, no, even more powerful than the rumors. ROAR!"

Suddenly, a fierce roar echoed through heaven and earth, and the clothing on the four individuals burst apart in an instant, revealing four members of the Demon Clan.

"Demon Clan!"

"Damn it, they’re actually members of the Demon Clan."

"Attack!"

"Spread out!" Wang Lan yelled, and the Tianjian Bureau special agents who were about to charge forward came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, Star Power fluctuations surged around the four Star Martial Warriors, who were on the verge of self-detonation. Wang Lan’s figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, appearing amidst the four Star Martial Warriors. Star Power surged, and with a raise of his hand, a net of lightning suddenly expanded.

Countless bolts of lightning struck down from all directions, as if a massive string of firecrackers, trapped together, had been ignited all at once.

BOOM!

After the loud bang, the smoke cleared. The Tianjian Bureau agents looked on gravely. As the dust settled, nothing remained but a few pieces of hard armor; the rest had been reduced to ash.

Seeing Wang Lan’s grim expression, Liu Yuxin quickly approached him. "General Wang, I have been negligent; I didn’t even realize that a Demon Clan spy had infiltrated the Tianjian Bureau..."

"Demon Clan spies have always found a way in, but we shouldn’t assume we’ve completely eradicated them just because we’ve achieved victory after victory. As I recall, Huzhou Province has caught the least number of Demon Clan spies, right?"

"Yes... Yes!"

"Catching the fewest doesn’t mean there are the fewest spies. It’s more likely that even more spies have not been caught."

Just as Wang Lan finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically. In a flash, he disappeared.

Liu Yuxin had been humbly listening to the reprimand, nodding along. Suddenly, the voice stopped. When he looked up, Wang Lan was gone.

"Where’s General Wang?" Liu Yuxin asked, clueless...

"He just vanished in a flash."

「"Water-Moon Illusionary Sword!"」

A clear shout rang out above the Wei Family’s estate. The sky filled with countless figures of Jiang Xinyu, each an intermingling of reality and illusion.

Encircled by Jiang Xinyu was a figure seemingly woven from intertwined light. It darted about with speed surpassing lightning, each movement shattering one of Jiang Xinyu’s illusory clones.

Simultaneously, countless sword qi fell like a tempest, continuously bombarding the figure that darted like light.

Wang Lan’s brilliance had so thoroughly overshadowed Jiang Xinyu that everyone failed to realize something. Not only did she possess the strength of a Titled Strongman, but she had also far surpassed the capabilities of many ordinary ones.

To this day, Jiang Xinyu had not yet received her official title from the nation. But once conferred, she would undoubtedly rank among the Titled Strongmen, approaching the level of the Wise Heart Sword God.

The relentless barrage of sword qi hammered the mysterious expert, but the sharp Sunlight Sword Skill seemed unable to injure him. Similarly, no matter how many of Jiang Xinyu’s clones the mysterious assailant destroyed, she endlessly produced more.

Wei Wuji and the other Wei Family experts watched with mouths agape, their faces filled with shock and panic. Forget helping; even getting close was an impossible luxury.

Is this really the power of Star Martial Warriors? What a joke!

The mysterious killer’s strength also filled the Wei Family with dread. Without Jiang Xinyu present, the Wei Family would likely have been effortlessly slaughtered.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the figure of the mysterious expert shot forward once more, doubling its speed. He had already wasted too much time; if he delayed any longer, the Tianjian Bureau’s reinforcements would arrive.
