198. Chapter 198: Mission and Enemy

As Lin Yue's friend, Qin Qing still didn't want their relationship to reach the point of life and death because of some matter, so at this last moment, she wanted to persuade Lin Yue to give up on Li Yi. If that didn't work, then withdraw from this mission and leave Tianchang City. Although this would lose her future, at least her life would be saved.

After all, in her view, even with Lin Yue's help, Li Yi was still in a situation of certain death today.

No one knew Yang Yi Long's strength better than her.

Ordinary Spirit Perception experts would be killed by Yang Yi Long in one encounter, let alone Li Yi, this Inspiration Realm cultivator.

"Qin Qing, I'm very happy that you can say such things. At least you still treat me as a friend. But do you know? I've known Li Yi since I was a child. His dad guided my cultivation, and I also introduced him to the door... He treats me very well, not only teaching me fist techniques but also lending me a Mystic Object cultivation room to use. Because of this, I was able to successfully become a Spirit Perception expert."

Lin Yue's smile faded at this moment, and she said very seriously: "You want me to give up on Li Yi at this time? Then what kind of person would I, Lin Yue, be? If you help Yang Yi Long and take action against Li Yi, I guarantee that I will kill you with my own hands, even if you are my friend."

As she spoke, her eyes glowed, revealing killing intent.

Qin Qing's expression also turned cold: "If you refuse to retreat, Li Yi will definitely die today. You can't protect him. If you also want to get involved, then I will also deal with you with my own hands for Yang Yi Long's sake."

"Okay, very good. Then let's see who wins and who loses then." Lin Yue said.

"You are not my match. When Li Yi taught Yang Yi Long fist techniques, it was equivalent to teaching me." Qin Qing said, revealing that she also knew fist techniques, hoping Lin Yue would know the difficulty and retreat.

Lin Yue, however, was unmoved: "Whether I can beat you or not, I'll only know after fighting."

She knew very well that the fist techniques Li Yi taught Yang Yi Long were incomplete and had flaws, while her own fist techniques were complete. If they really fought, she would have the advantage in terms of fist techniques.

"It seems we have to become enemies in the end." Qin Qing said.

"No, you're wrong. You and Yang Yi Long have always been enemies with Li Yi and me. From the beginning when Yang Yi Long forcibly demanded fist techniques, to later when Yang Ye dealt with Li Yi, everything was done by you. Li Yi has always been passively fighting back. I know Yang Yi Long is strong, but just because he is strong doesn't mean he can act so recklessly. If Li Yi's strength exceeds Yang Yi Long's, does it mean Li Yi can also unscrupulously take revenge on the Yang family?"

"Qin Qing, I'll say it again: you followed the wrong person. A person like Yang Yi Long is not firm in matters of right and wrong and will be finished sooner or later. Take care of yourself."

Lin Yue stopped persuading. She understood that Qin Qing could no longer be communicated with. Yang Yi Long had already failed to save her once, yet she was still obsessed and even wanted to help Yang Yi Long deal with her and Li Yi.

Since that was the case, she could only be heartless.

Therefore, she turned and left immediately, interrupting this meaningless conversation.

Seeing Lin Yue turn and leave, Qin Qing's green vertical pupils flickered. Only this time, her expression was no longer complicated, but very calm.

That's fine too.

Greeting in advance, both sides know what's going on, so when they really take action, there won't be too many concerns.

Thinking of this, Qin Qing also turned and left.

"Li Yi, you must be careful in this mission. Yang Yi Long and Qin Qing are also here. The two of them, Spirit Perception experts, are ready to find an opportunity to kill us. If we don't want to fight them, there is only one way, and that is to withdraw from this mission... It's just that we are both external combat personnel of the Investigation Bureau. If we withdraw from this mission, it's equivalent to leaving the Investigation Bureau, and everything accumulated before will be in vain."

After returning, Lin Yue immediately found Li Yi and told him about this matter.

"It really is enemies meeting on a narrow road."

Li Yi's expression was very calm at this moment. He said: "It's just that I didn't expect that Qin Qing would stand by Yang Yi Long's side without hesitation. This is a bit beyond my expectations. Last time in the Waste District, Qin Qing didn't take action. It looks like this time, she has also decided to get involved."

"Yeah, in this way, we have to deal with one more Spirit Perception expert, which is very troublesome." Lin Yue said: "Qin Qing's strength is not weak, and she has also mastered fist techniques. If we really fight, we are at an absolute disadvantage."

"On the surface, we are indeed at a disadvantage, but it's not necessarily that we don't have the strength to fight." Li Yi said.

He was currently in the period of the Burning Blood Technique, and his Qi and blood were still accumulating rapidly. However, time was not enough now, and it wasn't time to break through yet. Just estimating based on this accumulation speed of Qi and blood, to completely meet the requirements in his mind, it would take at least several more hours.

If you add the time for breaking through, it's best not to fight Yang Yi Long in the next six hours.

Thinking of this, Li Yi continued: "Lin Jie, you don't need to worry so much. They want to put pressure on us to make us withdraw from this mission, which is impossible. And now there are helicopters everywhere in the sky, so it's not easy for the other side to find an opportunity to take action... If we really can't avoid it, we'll just fight."

"By then, I'll deal with Yang Yi Long, and Lin Jie, you go fight Qin Qing."

"Can you do it?" Lin Yue asked very doubtfully.

Although she knew Li Yi's strength far exceeded ordinary Inspiration Realm cultivators, he was still separated from Yang Yi Long by a realm.

"Lin Jie, you have to have some confidence in me." Li Yi said.

"I don't lack confidence in you; I'm afraid you'll get hurt." Lin Yue shook her head.

Li Yi said: "Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's make the mission arrangements first. We must avoid Yang Yi Long and the others when we enter the Old City District. We won't have conflicts if we can avoid them at the beginning, and we'll talk about it if we really meet later."

He only hoped that he could drag it out until after six hours, and then open the nine major meridians and become a Meridian Cultivation martial artist before seeking revenge.

However, during the conversation between the two.

Zheng Gong had already received the mission requirements.

"Li Yi, come and see. This is our team's action route. The Investigation Bureau requires us to grope forward along this road in front. The buildings on the left are the responsibility of our team to clear, and the team on the right is led by that Spirit Perception expert named Zhao Lingfu before, responsible for clearing."

He took out a tablet, which had an electronic map, very precise. On the map, a red line marked their forward route and cleaning range.

"This range is a bit large." Yuan Mingjin, Fang Hang, and Cheng Pingfang couldn't help but click their tongues after taking a look.

"It is a bit large, but the danger inside the buildings in the early stage is low, it just takes some time. The real danger is concentrated in this core area." Lin Yue reached out and pointed on the map and said: "However, the Investigation Bureau's planning is very reasonable, and the area responsible for almost every small team is about the same size."

Li Yi said: "Zheng Gong, which area is Yang Yi Long's team responsible for?"

"Here."

Zheng Gong reached out and pointed, but it was the position furthest from their team: "The Investigation Bureau knows that we have a grudge with Yang Yi Long and the others, so to avoid conflict, they deliberately separated the two teams quite far."

"It's only temporary. Once we advance to the central area, we will be separated by only one street. By then, once Yang Yi Long finds an opportunity, he will definitely kill his way over." Li Yi said: "Moreover, Yang Yi Long's team doesn't just have Qin Qing as a Spirit Perception expert, there are other cultivators. It's just that I don't know if those people will also get involved."

"We made an agreement with Yang Yi Long before that our grudge with him wouldn't involve others." Lin Yue said.

Li Yi laughed: "His words are like farting, can you believe them? Now Qin Qing is involved. Why? It's because Yang Yi Long wasn't confident after fighting me before, so he wants to join forces with Qin Qing to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Then we also need allies... Zhao Lingfu might be able to win over. Even if he doesn't take action, helping to block others is a good thing." Lin Yue said.

"What can move him?" Li Yi asked.

Lin Yue thought for a while and said: "How about guidance techniques?"

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Li Yi said: "A technique that can be bought is not enough to make a Spirit Perception expert stand on our side, especially at this special time. He will definitely raise the price. By the way, how is that Zhao Lingfu's strength?"

"He is an expert, mastering a God-Walking Technique. Perhaps he can't beat Yang Yi Long in a head-on confrontation, but he won't fall behind either." Lin Yue said.

"God-Walking Technique?"

Li Yi's expression flickered: "I didn't expect him to be a hidden guy. It seems we have to increase the stakes."

"You don't even know him, why would he sell you face? Let me go, I still have some friendship with him." Lin Yue said.

Li Yi said: "If friendship were useful at this time, he wouldn't have been so cold before. So we still have to look at interests. When there are enough interests, he will naturally stand on our side without hesitation."

"That's right..." Lin Yue was silent for a moment.

She understood that she was being deliberately alienated at this moment because they all knew that Yang Yi Long would very likely take action to settle the grudge in this mission, and in the eyes of most people, she and Li Yi seemed to be in certain death, so they deliberately stayed away, not wanting to cause misunderstandings and be targeted by Yang Yi Long.

"Li Yi, don't worry. So many people are participating in the mission, Yang Yi Long won't dare to take action. Once it's discovered that he is attacking an investigator, he will definitely be finished." Zheng Gong comforted at this moment.

"Better safe than sorry, we still have to take precautions. We can't hope that the other side will follow the rules." Li Yi shook his head: "How much time is left, when does the mission start?"

"Ten minutes left, now almost everyone who should be here is here." Zheng Gong said.

At this moment, Li Yi looked left and right.

During the time he and Lin Yue were communicating, many cultivators had increased nearby, and this area was full of people. Not only that, the Investigation Bureau had also driven ambulances to the vicinity and stopped, and some resource allocations were in place. Everything was preparing for the next mission.

"There are really a lot of people." Li Yi sighed.

"I took a look, almost all the cultivators in Tianchang City came." Fang Hang whispered: "Only some Spirit Medium cultivators didn't come. Their strength is too weak and they can't play a big role, so it wasn't mandatory."

"Everyone prepare, once the time is up, take action immediately." Li Yi nodded and said afterwards.

His pressure this time was not small.

While completing the mission, he also needed to guard against enemies.
