With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 77: Identity Exposed, Master Luo Crouching

"The man in the top hat told me this was a Demon Skill, using Human Demon as an example, repeatedly emphasizing the dangers of the [Thunder Seed]. The other person’s purpose was obvious."

"He wanted to turn me."

"He asked me to keep it confidential and to contact him later, probably wanting to make me a spy or something, aiming to get some information from me, or something he couldn’t achieve but I could, given my identity."

Meng Chuan summarized everything and gradually came to a realization.

"The man in the top hat’s power is not as strong as Master Luo’s, and he has a grudge against Master Luo, wanting to harm him,

or there’s some treasure on Master Luo that he covets, wanting me to serve as an insider using my identity to cause harm to Master Luo."

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan directly made a phone call.

[Master Luo, are you awake?]

[What’s up? Hurry and spit it out, I’ve been exhausted all night for you.]

The man in the top hat was simply talking nonsense, treating me like a fool.

[Master Luo, do you have any enemies?]

[The kind who can’t beat you but want to kill you, or maybe covet some treasures on you.]

[...What the hell, why are you asking this in the middle of the night?]

Meng Chuan briefly explained what happened tonight.

On the other side of the phone, Luo Guanyun was quite pleased after hearing this.

[I’ve really cared for you for a reason. Tomorrow, give me the phone number he gave you, I’ll try to get Long Jiu to locate it and fly over to finish him.]

Meng Chuan was speechless, his mentor was quite a brute.

[Master Luo, the other person might be someone familiar to both of us. Even if we locate him successfully, what if he gets startled and runs away? Now that he’s just emerged from the shadows, it’s the perfect time to strike.]

[You little rascal, you’re quite cunning. Let me think about who might have a grudge against me.]

After a short pause, Luo Guanyun chuckled and said:

[I’ve got quite a lot, can’t count them all... But most of them probably won’t go as far as wanting to kill me, mostly disputes over Martial Arts resources.]

[As for the Demon Path Martial Artists, my attitude is to eliminate them completely, leaving no roots. If they’ve got all sorts of relatives wanting revenge, I have no idea.]

It seemed that the clue had ended here, Meng Chuan furrowed his brow, his mind was in turmoil.

On the other end, Luo Guanyun got out of bed, his eyes showing ferocity, and continued on the phone:

[Stop investigating. We’re hands-on people, brains aren’t really our strong suit.]

[Move directly to my place tomorrow morning, bring your uncle and aunt along. Let’s see if that man in the top hat dares to come!]

Meng Chuan felt a warmth in his heart but it was ultimately inconvenient, and being watched all the time wasn’t ideal, it would affect his Martial Arts practice.

Hiding a room of people at Master Luo’s was the last resort, Meng Chuan thought for a moment and replied:

[I’ll think again, Master Luo. If there’s no solution before tomorrow, we’ll move!]

Meng Chuan thought to himself:

"Compared to life, anything inconvenient doesn’t matter."

[Alright, hanging up now. I’ll also think about which scumbag it might be, call me when you’re moving tomorrow, I’ll keep watch.]

The call ended, Meng Chuan started brainstorming.

He expanded his targets, crazily recalling with whom or what events he intersected after obtaining a permanent certification.

"In other words, starting from when I became an apprentice, who contacted me with ulterior motives."

After Limit Breaking, first beat Wang Yue, but Wang Yue was immediately excluded, so he continued thinking.

"Sister Liu Ruru, who often sparred with me?"

"No, not her, ignoring her purpose, just in terms of strength, no way could she vanish into thin air creating a whirlpool."

"If true, then the hiding is really deep, pending."

"Then there’s... Martial Arts Association’s Uncle Bai."

"Also unlikely, he’s Master Luo’s old classmate, and Master Luo has deep ties with him, no reason to use me to harm him."

Then there’s the principal, he felt this was impossible too, deemed as hiding too deep, directly pending.

Lying on the bed, he gradually calmed his mind, slowly reflecting on his growth journey.

Next was going to the police station for an award, where he met Brother Fang.

"Brother Fang is the head of the Celestial Net Department, an overseas returnee top student, at the time I even blamed him because of the failure of Celestial Net that led to Tong Family Lane tragedy."

"Celestial Net dysfunction, wait a moment!"

Instantly!

Meng Chuan’s entire body hair stood on end, his body suddenly sprung up from the bed.

"Fang Jianxing is the head of the Celestial Net Department, is familiar with its operation, might he have the ability to make it quietly dysfunction?"

Back then, being in the situation, he didn’t think that much, but now in retrospect, it indeed seemed like a doubt.

"Later, Fang Jianxing proactively exchanged contacts with me, back then I thought he was quite enthusiastic."

At the time, Meng Chuan didn’t overthink, now recalling.

A mere 16-year-old kid like him, whereas the other is a head-level figure, why so friendly?

"Just because I was involved in the [Tong Family Lane encountering Celestial Demon leading to Celestial Net repair] event acting as a trigger?"

Meng Chuan thought from another perspective, if he were the head of the Celestial Net Department, at most he would thank and encourage him a bit.

Later on, the other came to the martial arts hall to train, himself teaching him Pile Skill.

"That’s where things don’t add up, he didn’t show the slightest sign of practicing martial arts."

"Even if he’s hiding deeply, Demon Path Martial Artist still have to practice Pile Skill, can’t possibly not practice it at all."

The limit of Qi Blood is determined by the progress of Pile Skill, that’s one of the truths of Martial Arts.

"Could it really be that the acting is too deep?"

Meng Chuan was uncertain, his mind raced as he continued to ponder.

His thoughts hit another snag. He lay on the bed, analyzing frame by frame what had happened that day.

"When he left, he emphasized again that he studied psychology. Did he want me to go find him?"

That’s a bit of a clue, right? By now, Meng Chuan was already somewhat inclined to let Master Luo and Chief Long Jiu take action.

"After sending him off, nothing happened. I went straight back to the martial arts school."

"Wang Yue seemed to jump out and ambush me, and I struck him once."

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. Ignoring the late hour, he immediately made a phone call.

After calling four or five times, the phone finally connected.

"Fatty! Snap out of it, I need to ask you something."

"Damn it... Brother Chuan, speak."

Wang Yue got up to wash his face in the bathroom, forcing himself to wake up.

"Last year, one afternoon when I returned to the martial arts school from outside, were you hiding behind the door trying to ambush me, and then I discovered you?"

"..."

Wang Yue’s brain couldn’t process, wondering why he was being asked this in the middle of the night.

"Think carefully. It’s important."

Seeing Brother Chuan’s serious tone, Wang Yue immediately got serious and carefully recalled.

Moments later, Wang Yue remembered.

"Brother Chuan, seems like that did happen. You even told me something about... something about the two of us having a thick barrier."

"Good, understood. Go to sleep early, Fatty."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan felt that he was probably right; the man in the hat was Fang Jianxing!

"That day when Fang Jianxing came to the martial arts school, he greeted me from behind by tapping my shoulder. I only noticed after being tapped, without any forewarning."

"Yet, when I returned to the school after sending him off, I was ambushed from behind by Wang Yue and had an immediate premonition."

"Being enthusiastic towards me, actively trying to close the distance—if it only increased suspicion, this would be enough to pin him down completely.

As an ordinary person, even less than Wang Yue, how could he evade my perception?"

Time was pressing, Meng Chuan quickly shared his discovery with Master Luo.

Luo Guanyun felt awed and confused upon hearing, scratching his head on the other end, wondered aloud:

"I don’t know Fang Jianxing, does this kid have a grudge against me or you?"

"Alright then, leave it to the master, I’ll handle it from here on."

...

The next morning.

Coastal Gold Villa Estate.

Sunlight bathed the villa, the iron fence surrounding it was covered with ivy.

Behind the bushes stood two burly middle-aged men wearing sunglasses, none other than Luo Guanyun and Long Jiu.

Having stayed up all night, Long Jiu seemed somewhat haggard, muttering softly:

"Is it really him? This bastard hid really deep..."

Last night, Long Jiu had been busy handling the follow-up work of the Human Demon case.

Although the Human Demon had been vanquished, how his student became a Human Demon was still hard to comprehend.

After hearing Luo Guanyun’s explanation, though somewhat skeptical, he still came along.

"I’m telling you upfront, we’ll probe first. If by chance we’re wrong and Fang Jianxing turns out to be just a regular person, I can’t cover for it."

"Got it, you don’t have to say it a hundred times, don’t be aggravating."

Luo Guanyun, already impatient by nature, was growing more restless while waiting.

"When exactly will Fang Jianxing be back? Could he have sensed us and fled?"

Long Jiu rubbed his fatigued eyes, murmuring:

"Stop guessing. According to monitoring, whether he’s up all night conducting experiments or doing something else and not returning all night, he’ll be back home to sleep before ten the next morning, be patient."

Although Luo Guanyun said nothing more, he still felt anxious inside.

Just then, the sound of a car engine roaring from far to near.

A black sedan parked at the villa entrance, the driver swiftly pushed open the car door and got out, then went to the back of the car, gently opening the rear door.

Seeing this, Luo Guanyun instantly perked up.

He whispered:

"Is it him, Bald Dragon?"

Long Jiu squinted his eyes, carefully identifying.

"No doubt, it’s Fang..."

Before finishing his sentence, Luo Guanyun’s aura exploded instantly.

"Don’t rush!"

Luo Guanyun disregards everything, and suddenly, the clear sky is filled with rolling dark clouds, swirling rapidly like boiling ink.

In an instant, a dazzling golden lightning bolt ripped down from the cloud layers, exploding, releasing a majestic thunder dragon.

Its body composed entirely of pure Thunder True Qi, coiling mightily and ensnaring Fang Jianxing, a pungent burnt odor permeating the air.
