Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091: Star Era Guide (41)
Chuzheng shivered with disgust.
“Let’s go.”
Chuzheng quickly pulled Jing Lan into hiding before the other side could get up.
“What’s wrong with her?” Chuzheng asked Jing Lan.
Jing Lan’s face was ashen: “You know about my injury, right?”
“Yes.”
“At the ti, we were battling the enemy, and the battlefield shifted to a remote star domain. At the edge of the star domain, there appeared a strange wormhole. Soone accidentally went through it but quickly returned, bringing back a peculiar substance.”
Jing Lan swiftly recounted the events to Chuzheng.
That substance was strange, sotis liquid, sotis solid, yet not a living thing.
Later, it was discovered that this substance could absorb others’ spiritual power… more accurately, it could seize others’ spiritual power.
The battle was at a stalemate, and reinforcents hadn’t caught up with them.
To break this deadlock, soone, without his consent, took the substance to the battlefield.
The result…
The result was chaos.
The thing acted like a bottomless pit, seizing spiritual power indiscriminately from both allies and enemies.
Seizing soone’s spiritual power, the carrier would subsequently beco slightly stronger.
Jing Lan tried to stop him, which led to his demise.
After it ended, he was in a coma for a long ti. By the ti he woke up, everything had settled.
Jing Lan wanted to speak out about this incident, but… due to his impaired spiritual power, his emotions were very unstable at the ti.
No one really listened to him. Everyone thought whatever he said was just an excuse for himself.
Back then, apart from the military court investigation team, he couldn’t see anyone.
By the ti he was able to see people again, the verdict had already been decided.
“Did you bring that thing back?”
Jing Lan shook his head: “I rember destroying it back then.”
Chuzheng raised an eyebrow: “Then what’s happening now?”
Jing Lan was unsure; the circumstances clearly resembled what happened before.
“We can’t let her keep absorbing spiritual power, or she’ll only get stronger.”
“Everyone who can pilot a cha has spiritual power, how to stop them?” Chuzheng’s tone sounded relaxed, not overly tense.
“…”
Jing Lan frowned without speaking.
He had piloted Zhou Jue at the ti, engaging in a spiritual power battle with that thing, forcibly subduing the person even as his spiritual power was continuously being torn apart.
The result was that he beca a cripple.
By then, the person had already absorbed the spiritual power of many on the battlefield. Xie Wanwan was just starting out, so if soone with strong spiritual power ca out to stop her, they might still be in ti.
However, thinking about the state of his spiritual power being torn apart at the ti, Jing Lan couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable all over; it was like taking a trip through Hell.
“Find a place to hide.”
“Where are you going?”
Chuzheng pointed in Xie Wanwan’s direction.
“You can’t handle her.”
“You’re underestimating .” Chuzheng kissed him quickly: “Be good, find a place to hide.”
“Chu…”
Jing Lan tried to grab Chuzheng, but Chuzheng was too fast, and he only managed to catch the corner of her clothing.
–
In mid-air, a craft slowly ca to a halt.
The arena was in utter chaos, with many bodies lying on the ground, their fates uncertain.
The first to disembark from the craft was a young man not much older than a teenager.
If Xie Wanwan were present, they would instantly recognize him as the one who had made them sign the agreent back then.
Behind the young man were two additional people.
They were slightly older.
All three bore somber expressions as they disembarked and headed straight for the most severely damaged central area.
There was a large pit there.
At the mont, a cha lay within the pit, emanating smoke, with a disheveled figure slowly crawling out.
Above the pit stood another person.
She leaned on the fallen ruins next to her. Seeing soone approaching, she imdiately straightened her posture and looked at them with an indifferent expression, her face betraying no emotion.
The newcors glanced into the pit. Xie Wanwan lay at the bottom, covered in blood, barely breathing.
The young man spoke politely: “Was this your doing, Chuzheng?”
He had handled Xie Wanwan’s previous case, so he naturally recognized the involved Chuzheng.
Chuzheng replied coldly: “Or was it you?”
A trace of surprise flickered in the young man’s eyes as he assessed her from head to toe: “I am the head of the Empire Thirteenth Bureau. We will handle things here; Chuzheng, you can go rest for a bit.”
The Thirteenth Bureau…
Chuzheng had never heard of it.
But in her current state, she wasn’t interested in tangling with him.
“How do you plan to deal with her?”
The young man said: “The theft of important items will be dealt with according to Star Era law. The military court will give a reasonable judgnt, rest assured Chuzheng. I will discuss the details with you later, okay?”
With the man’s amiable attitude, Chuzheng couldn’t find a reason to argue and had to leave first.
Outside, Jing Lan was waiting anxiously. As Chuzheng erged, he rushed over in a mix of worry and anger, but in the end, only managed a caring question: “How are you?”
Chuzheng leaned against him, whispering softly: “Tired.”
–
Chuzheng imdiately fell into a coma.
Indeed.
Comatose.
To everyone’s shock, Chuzheng suddenly unleashed her spiritual power, nearly destroying an entire dical room.
Professor Wei urgently contacted the Wun Family and Chen Junting to suppress the incident.
“What happened?” Professor Wei was perplexed: “I thought it was strange before. She clearly had no spiritual power, so why did she react to Jing Lan’s drink?”
Wun Qing furrowed his brow: “Little Uncle has spiritual power, so it’s natural for his lineage to have it too; it’s just that…”
“It might have been suppressed for so reason,” Chen Junting said solemnly from the side.
Professor Wei was astonished: “Can spiritual power be completely suppressed?”
He had never heard of spiritual power being completely suppressed to the point of not showing at all.
“Yes, but it has to be when she’s very young,” Chen Junting explained: “This girl’s spiritual power was likely suppressed when she was very young.”
Professor Wei was puzzled: “Why? Spiritual power only benefits people; why would anyone suppress it?”
Chen Junting’s eyes flashed darkly: “When I went in earlier, I was almost injured by her spiritual power. Her spiritual power… might be sowhat special.”
He didn’t know in what way.
“Let’s discuss further once she wakes up. Tell us what happened earlier,” Professor Wei suggested.
Professor Wei recounted the earlier events. They still didn’t understand why Xie Wanwan’s cha suddenly went berserk.
But any cha that approached her just failed.
Nothing could be done about her.
Ultimately, Chuzheng went out…
Without a cha of her own, due to the chaos of the wreckage, they hadn’t clearly seen what Chuzheng had done, and it was all over in less than two minutes.
“The Thirteenth Bureau was alerted; it’s now completely locked down.”
The Thirteenth Bureau is part of the highest imperial institution, answerable to Your Majesty.
If it wasn’t for extrely severe cases, the Thirteenth Bureau wouldn’t have intervened.
Chen Junting pondered for a mont: “Let’s wait.”
