About twenty minutes later, the two returned to the original spot almost simultaneously.
"How about you, Chen Yang, did you find anyone?"
Seeing Chen Yang return, Lisa imdiately asked.
Chen Yang shook his head, "Didn’t find them, searched nearby."
"I didn’t find them either. Reasonably, his speed shouldn’t be this fast. How could he disappear in just ten minutes?" Lisa frowned, puzzled.
If the other person was a cultivator, it would be understandable for them to suddenly vanish.
But his cultivation is completely gone, even worse than an ordinary person, he’s a disabled person in a wheelchair, how could he run so fast?
"I reckon he definitely planned his escape route long ago; if he left hastily, he couldn’t have been so fast." Chen Yang said.
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Lisa realized this too.
"You’re right, he must have chosen a path for transfer in advance, but even so, he shouldn’t be able to go too far, considering the limited speed..."
"How is it? Is the person still there?"
While Lisa was deducing, Ma Jiantao hurriedly ran over from the alley entrance, interrupting her deduction.
"Director Ma."
"Director."
Chen Yang and Lisa greeted him first and then shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t found him.
"Did you search the area?" Ma Jiantao asked right after.
"Searched everywhere, but couldn’t find him." Lisa replied.
Hearing this, Ma Jiantao’s face showed obvious disappointnt.
"What a pity, we just missed him like this; our Secret Agency has been looking for him for a while, never thought you guys would encounter him." Ma Jiantao said regretfully.
Seeing Ma Jiantao’s expression, Chen Yang and Lisa exchanged a glance, then couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Director Ma, who is he to be so important to our Secret Agency?"
Ma Jiantao had already prepared to explain to Chen Yang and Lisa on his way, so when he heard their inquiry, he naturally started talking.
"Yes, Han Tianming is very important to our Secret Agency."
"Why?" Lisa asked.
"Because he has visited an ancient cave mansion from the pre-Qin era! Plus, he’s the only one who knows the location of the cave mansion."
"Ancient cave mansion?"
Upon hearing this term, Chen Yang’s face was filled with confusion; it was yet another new term.
Ma Jiantao glanced at Chen Yang, "Yes, ancient cave mansion!"
"You may not have detailed understanding, but have you heard of such matters in the mythical stories popular among us?"
"Stories like immortal beings residing in the celestial mountains, establishing schools, recruiting disciples, and the like?"
Without waiting for Chen Yang and Lisa to answer, Ma Jiantao continued, "According to our research and current information, these exist!"
"During the pre-Qin era, many powerful masters existed. Once they reached a certain level, they entirely stepped out of the human realm."
"If we speak in mythical terms, they are the legendary immortals!"
Hearing this, Chen Yang and Lisa were quite surprised, but they didn’t appear too shocked.
After all, their current abilities have already far surpassed the average human boundary.
Just not to the extent Ma Jiantao described.
The surprise was mostly because they never thought the myths they heard as children might actually be real, how could it not be surprising?
"These powerful ’immortals’ left many treasures when they established schools, and Han Tianming is the only one who knows the location and entry to the ancient cave mansion. Do you think he’s important?" Ma Jiantao didn’t explain too much and returned the topic to Han Tianming after illustrating the situation.
"Got it; it’s like Han Tianming is a key to a treasure vault. Finding him ans accessing treasures." Lisa imdiately grasped Han Tianming’s significance.
"Exactly, you could put it that way!" Ma Jiantao nodded, confirming.
"By the way, you guys were at the auction today, right? Soone from there contacted earlier, saying soone auctioned a top-grade Spirit Stone today! After investigating, it turns out the seller was Han Tianming!"
Before Chen Yang and Lisa could fully digest it, Ma Jiantao ntioned another matter.
Upon hearing this, the surprise on Lisa’s and Chen Yang’s faces deepened.
They exchanged a glance unwittingly.
What a coincidence.
The item Chen Yang spent 1.6 billion acquiring was actually from that person?
"In the pre-Qin era, Spiritual Energy in the air was very abundant, not only nurturing powerful cultivators but also generating heavenly treasures. Based on our assumption, the top-grade Spirit Stone Han Tianming brought out may just be a lesser treasure from within the cave mansion, containing untold valuable things!"
"It’s not about our Secret Agency being greedy, but rather our concern, do you understand? If the treasures from the Chiyun ancient cave mansion were seized by other organizations, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Their power would exponentially grow! With our Secret Agency currently strong, they only dare to move furtively, without breaking the last layer of trust!"
"Imagine the consequences of this exponential power surge yourselves." Ma Jiantao supplented.
Chen Yang and Lisa imdiately understood Ma Jiantao’s true feelings at the mont.
"Indeed, if it wasn’t for and Chen Yang coincidentally today, Han Tianming would likely have been taken away by Blood Wolf Sect! Then, Blood Wolf Sect might have gained resources, leading to explosive growth of their elites!" Lisa recalled today’s events with a mix of regret and gratitude.
Regret not understanding these things sooner and keeping Han Tianming.
Grateful for being present with Chen Yang today to thwart Blood Wolf Sect!
"Yes, true; from a certain perspective, you both indeed accomplished a rit today." Ma Jiantao nodded in agreent.
"But it’s a pity, we didn’t know Han Tianming’s value, otherwise the treasure would have been ours." Lisa added.
Ma Jiantao couldn’t help but smile, "Indeed a pity, but it’s still fortunate that Han Tianming escaped and wasn’t taken by Blood Wolf Sect, which is luck amidst bad luck."
"Hmm." Lisa nodded, not saying much more.
"Alright, since the person is not here, let’s leave first; I’ll arrange manpower to continue searching for Han Tianming." Ma Jiantao, having explained the situation almost completely, had no further reason to linger, and left the alley with Chen Yang and Lisa.
After discussing a few things outside, the matter was considered to have entered a closure.
Chen Yang bid farewell to Ma Jiantao and Lisa, then drove alone, leaving the city district heading towards Nizi’s school.
Tomorrow, Nizi would begin participating in research, likely finishing by late evening, so today he decided not to stay downtown but rather near Nizi’s school, finding a hotel to stay overnight.
Yet, halfway on a suburban road, he encountered Blood Wolf Sect again.
The sa middle-aged man stood in the middle of the road with a cane, blocking Chen Yang’s way.
Beside the middle-aged man stood at least dozens of n in black.
Each of them exuded killing intent.
This kind of killing intent wasn’t specifically aid at Chen Yang, but rather a natural aura they carried.
If an ordinary person encountered such a scene, they might be scared weak in the knees by the strong killing aura without even stepping out of the vehicle.
Screech...
Chen Yang pressed the brakes, stopping at a distance of five to six ters from the middle-aged man.
Knowing that they were coming for him, he didn’t hesitate, imdiately opening the door to get off.
