Chapter 340: Seeking Justice
Chapter 340: Seeking Justice
Under such a terrifying explosion, Sun Shouhe was most likely reduced to ashes.
As he thought this, a hint of regret crept into his heart. Such a powerful self-destruct robot was wasted on Sun Shouhe.
"Let's go take a look." After muttering to himself, Li Qian patted the sand off his body and slowly walked over.
"Hmm?" As he approached, Li Qian saw a broken and bloodied body at the bottom of a huge sand pit.
"He actually left behind a corpse!" Li Qian was surprised by this sight. Such a terrifying explosion should have left nothing behind.
Puzzled, Li Qian suddenly leaped into the sand pit to take a closer look.
As he examined the body, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He keenly sensed that Sun Shouhe was still alive.
Although he was still alive, his condition was extremely pitiful, with only a faint breath remaining, barely any different from death.
Li Qian observed for a moment and finally discovered the reason, "Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf would serve as a shield."
Yes, Li Qian had found the reason. The reason Sun Shouhe didn't die instantly was that at the critical moment, he summoned the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf to shield himself.
The wolf blocked most of the blast, allowing him to escape unharmed.
Of course, his timely evasion and not being at the center of the explosion were also important factors.
Unfortunately, the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf wasn't as lucky. It faced the self-destruct robot's full-power attack head-on and was instantly turned to ashes.
Li Qian remained in place, neither leaving immediately nor taking any other action. As for Sun Shouhe, whether he lived or died, it was up to fate.
After about ten minutes, two Skysoar Flycars sped towards them from the horizon at an incredible speed.
"They're here." Li Qian muttered to himself as he watched the flycars approach at breakneck speed.
The flycars quickly came to a stop beside him. Lou Ju stepped out of the car and asked, "Li Qian, what's going on here?"
Li Qian pointed to the large pit next to him and the bloodied Sun Shouhe, saying, "This person, named Sun Shouhe, is my classmate. He specifically ambushed me here."
"Your classmate set up an ambush to kill you?" Lou Ju's brow furrowed as he heard this, and a huge question mark appeared on his face. He looked at Li Qian with an inquiring gaze.
Li Qian nodded and continued, "Yes, he's not only my classmate but also a cultist of the Black God Sect."
Upon hearing this, Lou Ju's frown deepened. "The Black God Sect, I see."
After a moment of thought, he couldn't help but ask, "But why would a cultist from the Black God Sect target you?"
"It's probably related to me thwarting their plans several times." Li Qian replied without hesitation, "And my cultivation abilities have likely made them wary."
"This is indeed an issue that requires attention." Lou Ju suddenly understood Li Qian's words, and then he abruptly remembered something, causing his heart to tighten.
He had also heard of Li Qian's abilities, and as part of the Dongxia Federation's law enforcement system, he was somewhat aware of the news from Jiangnan Province.
If such a talented cultivator were to be harmed within their jurisdiction, Lou Ju, as the deputy director of the law enforcement bureau, would face immense pressure.
Most importantly, it would be a significant loss for the entire Dongxia Federation, so this matter must be taken seriously.
As he felt the pressure, Lou Ju's gaze fixed on Sun Shouhe, whose body was no longer human-like.
After a few glances, he directly ordered his subordinates, "Looking at his condition, he's probably still alive. Take him to the car and see if we can extract some information from him."
Only after seeing his two subordinates carry Sun Shouhe into the car did he turn to Li Qian with a smile, "Li Qian, thank you. You've helped us root out this rat."
Li Qian waved his hand dismissively, "No need for formalities. Dealing with the Black God Sect is not only helping you at the Law Enforcement Bureau but also self-preservation for me."
His words were not mere courtesy but a statement of fact. The Black God Sect had repeatedly tried to deal with him, and now, faced with such a situation, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Even if today's attacker hadn't been Sun Shouhe but another Black God Sect cultist, the outcome wouldn't have been much different.
Smiling, he said self-mockingly, "After all, the Black God Sect wants to get rid of me as soon as possible."
After chatting with Lou Ju for a while, Li Qian prepared to return to Shazhou City. After such a delay, the sky was already brightening.
Initially, Li Qian had intended to refuse, but Lou Ju's attitude was resolute, leaving him no choice but to let Lou Ju escort him back.
At the entrance of the Shazhou Beast Mastery University, Li Qian bid farewell to Lou Ju and entered the school, returning to Xianya Courtyard.
After a quick wash and a light breakfast, Li Qian headed to the Comprehensive Building of the Cultivation Academy.
The morning's classes weren't challenging; Li Qian had already finished the textbook, so he spent the class time pondering the evolution of the Rock Monster.
"The task is 92% complete, with only 8% remaining. It shouldn't be difficult; let's see if we can finish it quickly."
His mind was filled with various ideas, sparking numerous inspirations.
"Is a mutated Crimson Starstone an essential condition? Not necessarily!"
"But a mutated Crimson Starstone should be a shortcut to evolution!"
"..."
Just as Li Qian was brainstorming in class, in the office of the Cultivation Academy's dean, Tie Lao burst in angrily, "Old Fei, you must give me an explanation for this!"
"What explanation?" Dean Fei glanced at the furious Tie Lao and responded casually.
"Li Qian was attacked within Shazhou City. What explanation do you have for that?" Tie Lao's eyes burned with intensity as he stared at Dean Fei.
Hearing Tie Lao's question, Dean Fei shook his head, "I don't want to see him attacked either, but it happened, and he's fine."
"You call that fine? He used his trump card to save his life, and he was just a step away from disaster." Tie Lao was still furious, and by the end of his words, he even became sarcastic, "This genius, who we barely managed to recruit, must not be allowed to perish halfway due to your negligence."
Hearing this, Dean Fei laughed, finally understanding why Tie Lao had come to "demand an explanation." "You old man, so you were waiting here."
"But even if you hadn't said anything, I would have made arrangements. I'll replenish his trump card."
Tie Lao's eyes lit up at these words, "You said it yourself!"
Tie Lao was indeed grateful to Li Qian. He had barely heard of Li Qian's attack when his heart clenched with worry. Fortunately, Li Qian was lucky, and nothing serious had happened.
Although Li Qian was unharmed, the depleted trump card needed replenishing, so Tie Lao set his sights on Dean Fei.
