Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 641 - 511: Sending a Warning

Qu Jianlei would normally clean up the battlefield quickly; it's not his first time killing and stealing.

But this time, he wanted to search for any information related to the Cyan Blade Commerce Association, so he was inevitably slower.

He had to collect some bodies, like those with Gold Attribute A-level and Electromagnetic Attribute B-level.

The Wind Attribute A-level corpse was outside the courtyard, but there was no time for that, especially since the person didn't have a Storage Talisman—just some money, which didn't matter much.

What was rare was that, although the Electromagnetic Attribute Awakened was B-level, they surprisingly had two Storage Talismans.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but pay more attention to this person's identity—were they a connection, or a key trainee of the Cyan Blade Commerce Association?

In any event, killing this person wouldn't be much lighter than killing Comet.

But so what? The Cyan Blade Commerce Association had initially sought trouble with him multiple times.

Besides, this person was involved in Xiang Xue's kidnapping—those proficient in swimming drown in water; it was life's destination.

Just moments before, when Qu Jianlei fully opened his perception, he sensed a hidden chamber.

He rushed in and discovered the door to the chamber was made of alloy, pondering how to break it open, only to find the City Guard had already arrived.

He shouted angrily to get lost and casually applied Rock Armor to himself.

The next moment, the Golden Flame Saber condensed in his hand, and he fiercely slashed at the wall beside the hidden chamber door.

He hadn't ignored the possibility of a self-destruct device in the chamber, but he didn't believe the self-destruct would be very powerful.

After all, this repair shop was located in the city center; if his A-level Rock Armor couldn't withstand it, everyone within a kilometer would suffer.

Cyan Blade Commerce Association certainly acted ruthlessly, but loading too much explosive just to protect a hidden chamber? That would be insane!

Sure enough, as soon as the saber fell, after slashing open the chamber door, came a muffled boom.

Immediately, the massive shockwave forced Qu Jianlei to step back two paces.

However, the explosive blaze's power... was just so-so.

Almost equivalent to taking a hit from a Gold Attribute A-level—not even the peak A-level kind.

But after the explosive blaze, colorless flames spewed from the door, reaching at least four thousand degrees Celsius.

Qu Jianlei's Rock Armor could withstand it for a short period, but he didn't intend to resist it head-on, so he dodged to the side.

Feeling once again, the hidden chamber was already ablaze everywhere, so anything inside was unlikely to remain.

This one explosive blaze startled the outside City Guard.

Everyone knew the individual inside was tough, but that shout of "get lost" truly unnerved someone.

Regardless, the City Guard's duty was to maintain town order; such cases wouldn't fear standing before the Supreme.

Someone began to curse aloud, intending to rush in and arrest the person, only to be surprised by the subsequent muffled boom.

The sound wasn't very loud, but the explosive blaze was incredibly powerful, collapsing half a room and even half the courtyard wall.

Following that, everyone saw the fierce flames.

"Damn, that explosive blaze just now was as powerful as an anti-tank directional mine. Pulling such stunts in the city—looking to die?"

"What's an explosive blaze?" a knowledgeable person snorted, "See that flame... it's colorless!"

Amidst the outside City Guard's various opinions, Qu Jianlei scoured the area, directly using Wood Attribute Technique to burrow underground and leave.

The movement of Wood Elemental breath was sensed by someone outside, "Stop talking, they're likely leaving!"

Everyone was just waiting for the person inside to depart; the City Guard had a courageous spirit, but those who could withstand such explosive blaze truly had no reason to provoke.

In any case, just the explosive blaze and flames here certainly weren't a trivial matter, not something the small City Guard could meddle in.

If the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up; minor figures should do what is within their duties.

After Qu Jianlei left, he emerged from the ground three hundred meters away and silently disappeared into the night.

On his way back to the academy, he just took out his watch, only to find it vibrating. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

It was a message from Camille; no other words were said, just a thumbs-up emoji.

Qu Jianlei casually replied, "Are you spying on me?"

Before taking action, he had considered this possibility: The scavenger could provide Comet's location and monitor him secretly.

He certainly knew what label he carried—mystery!

To uncover the secrets he held, the scavenger would surely be willing to pay a significant price.

Regarding this matter, they didn't have to do much, just camp outside the repair shop.

Due to such considerations, Qu Jianlei indeed carefully sensed the surroundings of the repair shop—especially the higher points.

Upon arrival, during the fight, at peak, and while leaving, he thoroughly sensed the surroundings and found no anomalies.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted decisively; it's essential to know he's extremely lacking in a sense of security.

However, he wasn't sure whether the scavenger people were indeed monitoring, given their extensive reach and network.

Thus, this inquiry was merely to test the other party, gaining benefits would be good, but not gaining wouldn't matter.

However, this sentence really startled Camille. She answered bluntly, "Don't scare me!"

"I really want to surveil you, but I'm not that brave. I can't afford it, and I don't want to create more misunderstandings."

"Oh, it's not your men," Qu Jianlei responded casually, "Why are you contacting me now, what's up?"

"I want to ask you something," Camille replied. "Was an Electromagnetic B-level killed by you guys?"

"I didn't pay attention," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Such small figures, kill them if you kill them."

Camille was silent for a full five seconds before asking in a deep voice, "An Electromagnetic B-level is an insignificant small figure?"

"Small figures often think they're special," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "but they're still just small figures."

Camille had decided not to argue seriously with him, but upon hearing this, she felt as if he was insinuating something about her.

She couldn't help but ask, "Then are you a big figure?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I don't dare to say I'm a big figure, but without a doubt, I'm stronger than that guy."

How many of such small figures do you have? I'll take them all! Camille curled her lips, "I mainly wanted to inform you of a piece of news,"

"A Supreme is coming from Star No. 3, the B-level you killed was her exclusive toy... are you afraid?"

Supreme? Qu Jianlei snorted indifferently, "If I'm afraid, won't she still come? At worst, I'll dig another pit."

Camille felt a bit uncomfortable being refuted, "What if two Supremes come together, can you handle it?"

"Fine, pretend I never said anything... this news is supposed to be sold for money."

"Then go and sell it," Qu Jianlei instinctively wanted to hang up the call, finding people who speak half-truths annoying.

What about two Supremes, who do they think they're bullying, someone who hasn't seen the world?

When I killed Kushnier, there were two Supremes watching from the side, and what did they do?

However, in the end, he still didn't hang up—I'm curious to hear what you have to say.

Camille also knew the other side hadn't hung up, so she was too lazy to say more at the moment, "These two Supremes have a very good relationship."

"Even if their relationship is good, they can't just bully others," Qu Jianlei hung up the call.

He had been up all night, and by the time he was returning, it was past five o'clock. If it weren't winter, the sky would have already brightened by now.

However, when he tried to enter the small courtyard, he was surprised to find that the lights in the courtyard were actually on.

It's deep winter now, and the sky wouldn't brighten for another hour and a half, yet there was someone in his room.

But he didn't find it strange, considering the people he associated with couldn't be considered normal.

When he walked in, as expected, not only were Xiang Xue and Aunt Liu there, but Professor Purple was too.

Seeing him return, Xiang Xue spoke up, "What happened just now on Fourth Avenue, was it your doing?"

The repair shop was indeed located on Fourth Avenue, and Qu Jianlei didn't intend to hide it. He nodded, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Impressive!" Aunt Liu gave a thumbs-up, "You directly uprooted the Cyan Blade Commerce Association's response point, impressive!"

Response point... Qu Jianlei frowned, thinking for a moment, and then looked at her, "You knew beforehand?"

"I didn't know," Aunt Liu waved her hand readily, "We always just thought it was a contact point."

"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, then looked at Xiang Xue, "I took care of that Wind Attribute A-level."

"I knew you were the best!" Xiang Xue gave a thumbs-up, "That guy was really nasty!"

The Wind Attribute A-level was the main culprit in capturing her, leaving a very deep impression on her.

But immediately, her brows furrowed, "Was it really the Cyan Blade Commerce Association behind this?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Qu Jianlei waved a hand, then asked, "How much do you know about the Cyan Blade Commerce Association?"

As he asked, he took out the two Storage Talismans he had obtained tonight and began perceiving the contents inside.

"That Storage Talisman is mine," Xiang Xue's eyes lit up as she pointed to one of them, "It has my hidden mark on it."

"Then I'll return it to you," Qu Jianlei handed the Storage Talisman back. He wouldn't probe into a woman's collection.

He simply advised, "If there's any intelligence inside, remember to inform me."

Aunt Liu frowned as she spoke, "The Cyan Blade Commerce Association is indeed not easy to deal with."

Qu Jianlei knew the association was hard to provoke, but Aunt Liu's stance still surprised him.

Even the Earth Scholar finds it troublesome? "Head-on confrontation won't work?"

"We won't confront them head-on," Aunt Liu shook her head, "and neither will they make a direct move unless in the Blade Star Realm."

Qu Jianlei recalled Camille's words, "Is the Blade Star Realm their base of operations?"

"The Blade Star Realm was originally where the rebel army was entrenched," Xiang Xue responded while perceiving the Storage Talisman.

"Three consecutive rebellions occurred three hundred years ago, and it was only through suppression and appeasement that it was finally pacified."

No wonder she can teach history; she can narrate so much detail.

Qu Jianlei was slightly surprised, "Isn't the Empire always merciless against rebellions?"
