Chapter 908: A Full Harvest and a Safe Return

Yao Zhiyi's eyes widened as he stared at the suitcase.

Were they all inside?

Three fighters? But this suitcase was indeed different from the one Chen Chuan had originally carried. Initially, he thought Chen Chuan had bought it in Deep Valley City, but now it seemed highly likely that the fighters had left it behind, and Chen Chuan had conveniently packed them in!

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Chuan again. Blocking the three fighters' assault and leaving them behind were two completely different matters.

To put it simply, Chen Chuan needed to possess overwhelming strength and speed to deal with these three fighters.

And if he could do that, it meant that during a direct confrontation, these three fighters would hardly pose any significant threat to Chen Chuan. It would be a complete and utter domination.

Yao Zhiyi took a deep breath, unable to contain his surprise. The last time Chen Chuan had just become a fighter, he had already defeated his old rival, Wei Guozhen, which was shocking enough. But every time Chen Chuan reappeared, he brought new insights, leaving Yao Zhiyi with mixed emotions. "Chief Chen, it seems these three didn't give you much trouble."

Chen Chuan nodded. Dealing with these three fighters was indeed not a challenge for him at that moment, but before he had mastered the Great Ming Light Style, it wouldn't have been easy.

Back then, without the energy support of Crimson Veil, it would have been him alone against three. It wasn't that he couldn't win, but fighters had tenacious vitality. If any one of them survived a single attack, they could retreat and recover. Especially with two Divine Aspects present, the chances of making a mistake were even lower.

If the tactics were executed well, it wouldn't be impossible to fight for half a day, and it might even be more challenging than fighting the Demonic Spirit.

This wasn't to say that the combined strength of the three fighters exceeded that of the Demonic Spirit, but with only one opponent to attack at a time, it was the best he could do. Unless he could restrict their movements, the fight could drag on for a long time. If he couldn't finish them off quickly, there was a good chance it would become a battle of attrition.

Even if he could defeat these three, he could only guarantee to capture the fighter who cultivated the Aberrant Aspect. As for the other two Divine Aspects, it would be difficult to stop them if they decided to flee at all costs.

Yao Zhiyi had now calmed his mind. He picked up the cup and took a silent sip. After experiencing such an event, he felt that no matter what happened in the future, it wouldn't surprise him anymore.

After putting down the cup, he took out some documents and handed them to Chen Chuan, "These are the investigation reports on two of them."

Chen Chuan took the documents and glanced through them. They contained information about the Tuner and Noce, the two fighters who had attacked him. He nodded, "These are the two."

"Can you tell the style of the third one?" Yao Zhiyi asked.

"A fighter who cultivates the Aberrant Aspect," Chen Chuan replied. "Some of the techniques he used left a deep impression. Based on my speculation, he might be from the Fusion Sect."

"The Fusion Sect..." Yao Zhiyi furrowed his brows and then spoke in a low voice, "No matter what sect or identity, collaborating with foreign forces and attacking high-ranking government officials is absolutely intolerable."

Chen Chuan patted the suitcase beside him, "With the physical evidence of these three, I believe we can solve this case."

Yao Zhiyi couldn't help but glance at the suitcase again and nodded. He paused for a moment and then said, "I received information that the people from the old imperial family might make a move this time. I've been patrolling back and forth here for almost a month, but I haven't seen anyone searching for you." He continued, "Now I think it might have been a deliberate smokescreen to confuse us. Even if we realized something was wrong, we wouldn't have time to come to your aid."

Chen Chuan nodded. He didn't doubt Yao Zhiyi's words. The critical route to Jinbei Circuit's Fusion Ground was now under their control, making it difficult for the old imperial family to approach without being noticed, unless they took a detour.

But that would mean traveling several times the distance, increasing the time and uncertainty. Moreover, when they arrived, they would see patrol airships everywhere. If the fighters maintained a certain speed, their movements would be conspicuous, and the chances of being discovered would increase. It might even lead to their own capture.

The wiser choice, as demonstrated in this situation, was to spread false information, forcing them to strengthen their defenses. This way, they could restrain their forces without needing to personally intervene.

At this moment, Yao Zhiyi spoke in a solemn tone, "I will send a telegram to the Government Hall shortly, informing them of your return, Chief Chen. Once your safe return is confirmed, it might alert many people. So, my suggestion is to maintain secrecy as much as possible, and we can discuss a plan first."

Chen Chuan nodded, "I will use the Government Hall's emergency channel to return."

This route was the fastest and most discreet way back to Central City. It was reserved for emergencies and led directly to the Government Hall. The guards assigned to this route were carefully selected from the garrison, ensuring absolute loyalty and reliability.

Yao Zhiyi said, "Chief Chen just returned. Should we let him rest before heading out?"

Chief Chen replied, "That's not necessary. I've rested on the airship, and my return won't stay hidden for long. If the Municipal Parliament finds out, they might prepare in advance. We need to quickly come up with a plan. If there's nothing urgent here, Principal Yao, I'll head back immediately."

Yao Zhiyi said, "Alright, Chief Chen. I won't keep you then. I'll send an airship to take you back, and everyone on board is my trusted person."

Chief Chen nodded, stood up, shook hands with Principal Yao, and bid farewell. He boarded the airship with all the items he brought on this trip and headed back through the Fusion Land passage.

Half an hour later, at a distant fortress.

A young telegraph operator received a secret telegram, translated it, and immediately ran out. After scanning the surroundings, he found Mr. Zhuan standing at a high place. Hurrying over, he handed the telegram to Mr. Zhuan and said with reverence, "Sir, you have a telegram."

Mr. Zhuan took it, and the telegraph operator bowed respectfully before quickly leaving. Mr. Zhuan looked at the telegram, which was written in code, indicating that Chief Chen had returned safely, and there was no need to keep watching.

The Mask said, "Let's go. I told you Zhao Zhenye wouldn't come. A person as proud as him wouldn't deign to cooperate with others."

Mr. Zhuan said, "I wish he would come."

The Mask continued, "I know you're thinking that Chen Can's talent is high, but he might need some time to grow. You're probably afraid that by then, Zhao Zhenye will be even harder to deal with. We can solve the problem first and try not to leave it for him. Why take this burden upon yourself?"

Seeing Mr. Zhuan's silence, the Mask continued, "I know what you're thinking. Chen Can's talent is high, but he might need some time to grow. You're probably afraid that by then, Zhao Zhenye will be even harder to deal with. We can solve the problem first and try not to leave it for him. Why take this burden upon yourself?"

Mr. Zhuan said, "Mr. Guan is Zhao Zhenye's mentor, and he was also my brother's mentor. Mr. Guan was implicated in this matter back then, and my brother is no longer with us. If I don't solve this, should I leave it for others?"

He glanced outside, his expression determined as he walked out, "Let's head back first. We couldn't catch him this time, but I'll capture him next time." After saying this, he turned and left.

The Mask seemed to want to say something, but Mr. Zhuan interrupted, "No need to say more."

"Wait a moment..."

In the 16th and 19th chapters of the 1st and 9th books, there is no mistake in the version.

Mr. Zhuan said, "I said, no need to say more."

The Mask helplessly replied, "The airship is behind you, going in the wrong direction."

"..."

Mr. Zhuan stopped, turned around expressionlessly, and walked towards the brightly lit anchor tower.

As evening approached, an airship stopped at the emergency passage of the Confluence Land. Searchlights shone upwards, and the reception team made various flag signals and guiding gestures.

After the airship stabilized, Chief Chen, carrying his luggage, exited. Dawn Chirp followed behind him, and behind them were service personnel pushing the luggage.

The two guards on both sides immediately saluted.

Chief Chen nodded, descended from the anchor tower, and boarded a dedicated train. He slowly sipped a hot drink.

The departure was in early April, and now it was early June, almost two months had passed, and the harvest was undoubtedly significant.

After returning to Central City, the cultivation matters could be put on hold for a while. First, some necessary issues needed addressing.

Half an hour later, the train slowly came to a stop. A service member cautiously approached and said, "Chief Chen, we've arrived at the station."

Chief Chen slightly nodded, stood up from his seat, put on his wide-brimmed hat, held the Snow Lady Sword, and stepped off the train. He looked around and saw that the endpoint was directly beneath the Administrative Building.

Following a service member, he entered a private elevator. The latter pressed a number not within the normal range of floors. About ten seconds later, the elevator doors opened to both sides.

After stepping out, Chief Chen saw it was an internal reception hall, and Qi Weizhao was already waiting there with a smile. Upon seeing Chief Chen, he walked over, shook his hand vigorously, and said, "Chief Chen, welcome back. It's been a hard journey."

Chief Chen replied, "Thank you, Governor, for your concern."

After the greetings, Qi Weizhao invited Chief Chen to sit down and said, "I've received Commissioner Yao's telegram and have a rough understanding of the situation. With the cooperation of the secret department, we've clarified the situation of two people, but I didn't expect there to be a third fighter. Chief Chen said... he might be from the Fusion Sect?"

Chief Chen nodded and said, "According to my personal judgment, it's highly likely."

Hearing this, Qi Weizhao's expression turned serious. "It seems the enemy we're facing this time is far more challenging than previously estimated."
