Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 644 - 514: Courting Death

Qu Jianlei chose to live next to the Customs Enforcement Division, primarily to divert everyone's attention.

Others might think he's looking to provoke the Customs Enforcement Division, which would naturally lessen suspicion on him in other areas.

If those two Supreme members from Cyan Blade find out that he's living here and come looking for him, he wouldn't mind counterattacking on the spot.

Once a big fight breaks out, it's not surprising if the battle affects the surrounding area, right?

Anyway, he knows that the Customs Enforcement Division, up until now, hasn't given up on dealing with him. Is it strange for him to respond in kind?

After leaving the Customs Enforcement Division, he drove to a mall.

He left his car in the mall's parking lot, wandered around the mall for a bit, then quietly left.

According to the list of Cyan Blade Commerce Association members provided by the Guard Captain and Earth Scholar, there were thirteen members in total, five of whom were already dead yesterday.

Among the remaining eight people, six were in Fengrao City; he could locate at least four of them now.

He could have eliminated these four last night, but he thought it unnecessary to rush, lest those two Supremes become more vigilant.

Next, he wandered around the whole city, locking in the identities of those four people.

With the Transformation Technique in hand, changing clothes at any time, he wasn't worried about being noticed at all.

By the time it was after 5 p.m., dusk was falling, and he received a timely notification from Xiao Hu that a flight carrying the two Supremes was about to arrive.

Qu Jianlei released a license-plate-free motorcycle and roared towards the airport.

On Star No. 2, riding such a license-plate-free motorcycle would definitely be checked, but here on Star No. 4... economic development takes priority.

When Qu Jianlei arrived, the flight had already arrived for about ten minutes, and the ordinary people were just walking out of the gate.

He didn't probe recklessly, just slightly released some Perception; he was well aware of how terrifying the Supremes could be.

But, as luck would have it, he happened to perceive two unknown auras.

One of them should be the Wood Attribute Supreme; although the other party disguised it well, it wasn't completely concealed.

The other aura was even more obscure, to the point that its Cultivation Level couldn't be sensed, only a sharp aura could be felt.

The Wood Attribute one should be Fahim, and the other the Gold Attribute Amestina.

If Qu Jianlei remembered correctly, Camille mentioned that the Electromagnetic Attribute B-level was a lover of one of the Supremes.

This Amestina... is obviously much more difficult to deal with than Fahim.

Fahim is a Wood Attribute Warrior, which already troubles Qu Jianlei, as he prefers dealing with Fire and Water Attributes.

Wood and Gold Attributes are quite troublesome, and of course, the most troublesome is the Earth Attribute.

It is said that the Earth Attribute has its weaknesses, and its slow movement speed is quite deadly.

However, Qu Jianlei has always fought across levels, with few battles on the same level, and even then, often against multiple adversaries.

So even if it's an Earth Attribute of the same level, he finds it quite vexing.

Genuinely, those Wind Attribute and Electromagnetic Attribute ones aren't considered much in his eyes.

Thinking about having to face off against this Amestina, Qu Jianlei felt a sense of pressure.

The pressure of wanting to single out this person is already significant, let alone having a Wood Attribute Supreme accompanying them.

Putting these aside, their current state also makes him feel a bit uneasy.

The dignified Supremes casually walked out like ordinary people, then rented a taxi, quietly leaving.

It's not terrifying when people put on airs, but those with immense power who keep a low profile and act discreetly.

Experts who can position themselves as ordinary people, at the very least, have a much lower probability of making mistakes.

Qu Jianlei, with a complex mood, followed the car from afar on his motorcycle until the other party reached the designated hotel.

During his idle wandering that afternoon, he had already learned where they were going to stay, so nothing was unexpected now.

The two checked into a high-end hotel, but not an overly conspicuous one; there were no particularly luxurious hotels in the Earth District.

After resting for a while in the hotel, the two Supremes went to the repair shop where the tragedy occurred the day before yesterday.

The scene was still cordoned off, but the two called a number, and the City Guard took the watch, said a few words, and let them in.

Qu Jianlei maintained about a kilometer's distance behind the two, "Xiao Hu, whose number did they call?"

Xiao Hu replied, "The number registered to Ke Zhenshan's office at his residence, no designated holder."

Wristwatch numbers have personal numbers, but also official business numbers.

"Ke Zhenshan..." Qu Jianlei snorted; since returning from the Outer Star Realm, this person has been quite influential.

The two Supremes explored the repair shop, and with their Cultivation Level, they could still sense some situations from when the incident occurred.

Twenty minutes later, the two came out, looking somewhat displeased, but left normally.

Qu Jianlei sat astride his motorcycle, watching as the two drove past him, heading towards their place of residence.

He didn't follow too closely, roughly waiting until they approached the hotel before starting the motorcycle again.

Afterward, the two Supremes didn't go out again, dining within the hotel.

Then a member of the Cyan Blade Commerce Association arrived, reporting something to the two.

Qu Jianlei wasn't in a hurry either; sitting six to seven hundred meters away from the hotel, smoking a cigarette, mindlessly observing his surroundings.

He looked a bit like a street hooligan, and there were many such people on Star No. 4, as hooligans could turn into robbers at any time.

Around eight o'clock, the handheld device in his arms started vibrating, and he took it out to answer. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was Camille calling him, "Have you been watching those two people?"

"Already arranged," Qu Jianlei casually replied, "Very strong, especially that gold attribute one."

"Gold attribute?" Camille paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "The one close to that electromagnetic attribute is wood attribute."

"What?" Qu Jianlei was also stunned for a moment, then reacted, "This... the orientation is a bit unusual."

"Is that so strange?" Camille laughed, "Everyone can have their own pursuit."

"Let me tell you a secret, awakened ones with electromagnetic attributes are widely liked, the reason... you know!"

Qu Jianlei scratched his forehead, feeling speechless for a moment, how did the conversation turn...?

Nonetheless, knowing the biggest potential adversary was Fahim, he still felt somewhat relieved.

In his mind, Amestina was much more difficult to deal with than Fahim.

Qu Jianlei stayed at the street corner until eleven o'clock at night.

Only when the cold wind rose and there were few people on the street did he stand up and leave.

He wasn't sure if these two supremes would act at night, but he had already made many preparations.

In this situation, if they succeeded in an ambush, he couldn't be blamed.

Then he sneaked back to the Yanoye Hotel, didn't sleep in his own small courtyard, but went to another nearby deserted courtyard.

He barely rested all night, mostly meditating and cultivating, while also keeping an eye on the courtyard he booked.

Keeping surveillance is very tedious work; when daylight began, he returned to the room, took a shower, and then went out again.

Those two supremes did not hide their whereabouts; in the morning, they went to Ke Zhenshan's residence, and near noon they went to the Customs Enforcement Division.

Qu Jianlei originally thought, the opponents would come to Yanoye next, but surprisingly in the afternoon, the two went to Fengrao Academy.

The pair didn't stay long at Fengrao Academy, after leaving there they went to Engineering College.

This is the place Qu Jianlei cared most about, but the two just walked around casually, not even alerting Cheng Qingshan.

However, the more the opponents appeared casual, the more vigilant he became.

After completing the surface actions, the subsequent attack might be fierce and rapid.

That evening, the two supremes went to the headquarters of the Fourth War Zone, where they had dinner.

Qu Jianlei felt these two acted too prudently, thus continued to monitor them until they left at eleven o'clock at night.

In the early morning of the next day, he was meditating in the neighboring courtyard, when suddenly his heart felt a pang, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't release perception, but quietly asked the little lake, "Anything happening?"

In his courtyard, he had secretly installed some cameras, controlled by the little lake.

"Nothing is happening," the Big Head Butterfly slowly turned, "But... the wind has decreased a bit."

"Then someone is coming," Qu Jianlei sighed lightly, slowly casting ice armor on himself.

The ice armor's defense is quite average, but it can effectively shield the body's released heat.

Then he took out a dark gray metal tube, silently poking it over the wall.

This was his self-made night vision device, using the principle of a periscope, allowing him to see outside the wall even when standing below it.

The main concern was the supreme's perception being too keen; not only directly calling their name, even direct looking could be detected.

Even using such an instrument, Qu Jianlei didn't dare to look directly, only using the corner of his eyes to observe.

Be cautious and sail a thousand years; if even this was perceived by the opponents, he could only accept it.

In the darkness, a large, faintly visible mist of pale white slowly drifted toward the courtyard he had marked.

The mist was very thin; if not focused, it really might be overlooked.

"Wood attribute convergence?" Qu Jianlei thought, he was also a bit astonished.

For an ordinary person's thermal image, at most it would be one size bigger, but this person seemed powerful, nearly enlarging a hundredfold.

This was employing convergence, using wood element overflow to release body heat into quite a large space.

Just a simple trick, but very effective for circumventing various detection instruments.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, thinking to himself, you're purely courting death.

Honestly, if the opponent blatantly revealed their hand, he would feel a bit limited.

In a direct confrontation, he wasn't confident to face a supreme of the wood attribute.

In that situation, he would more likely choose to escape using body technique and then look for opportunities to counterattack during the retreat.

Yet acting this deceitfully is truly a path to self-destruction.

Qu Jianlei no longer wanted to focus on this person; now he's thinking about another issue.

Wondering if that gold attribute Amestina has come to support?

He silently rotated the tube, scanning everywhere; awakened ones with gold attributes have many methods to shield heat.

As he was observing, he suddenly heard a low hum, "Damn, poisoned?"
