Chapter 61: The Surging Waves Rise Again

The sunset's afterglow gently sprinkled on the two, plating them with a layer of golden halo.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, feeling the rare tranquility after the battle.

A breeze blew past, bringing a hint of faint blood smell, but at this moment it seemed particularly harmonious.

However, deep in their eyes flickered vigilant light, very much like leopards lurking in the dark night.

The peace of the Supernatural World was like the calm before a storm, seemingly calm on the surface, but surging with undercurrents in reality.

This unknown sense of crisis was like an invisible thorn, stuck in their hearts, making them unable to truly relax.

"This feeling... is a bit wrong." Ji Chen frowned slightly, breaking this tranquility.

"Hmm." Ceng Yue just responded lightly, her cold voice carrying a hint of imperceptible worry.

She understood Ji Chen, and she understood how many unknown secrets were hidden beneath this seemingly calm world.

Just when everyone thought this "fairy couple" would enjoy this hard-won peace, and even began to guess when they would hold their wedding, Ji Chen made a decision that made everyone's jaws drop—take the initiative to attack and find potential threats!

"What?" "Is he crazy?" "Just finished fighting and already causing trouble again?"...

The Supernatural World instantly exploded, various discussions following one after another, like a group of ducks having a party.

Ji Chen didn't care about this at all, a confident smile curling on his lips, his eyes seemingly saying: "Brother just wants to break the rules, not convinced, come and fight!" He knew deeply that blindly waiting passively would only make him fall into a deeper quagmire; only by taking the initiative to attack could he grasp the initiative.

Although Ceng Yue was a bit surprised by Ji Chen's decision, she only raised her eyebrows slightly, then decisively stood behind him, expressing her support with actual actions.

She knew Ji Chen's decision was by no means a momentary impulse, but one made after careful consideration.

The crowd watched Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's departing backs, their hearts filled with mixed feelings, both admiration and confusion.

They were destined to become the most dazzling existence on this land.

And their behavior at this moment was like a stone thrown into a calm water surface, destined to stir up even greater waves.

"I seem to perceive a trace of unusual aura..." Ceng Yue suddenly spoke, her tone low.

Ji Chen stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly, a playful smile appearing on his lips. "Is that so? Looks like this adventure is going to be much more interesting than expected." After speaking, he turned around and looked into the distance with Ceng Yue, a hint of excitement and anticipation flickering in the depths of his eyes.

The two didn't hesitate in the slightest, their figures like arrows off a string, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

They were like two sharp daggers, stabbing deep into the Supernatural World, swearing to root out the hidden crisis.

However, as the investigation deepened, they discovered that this surging power actually had a thousand threads of connection with the high-level officials of the Supernatural World!

This was like a heavy punch, slamming hard into the hearts of the two.

Those high-level officials who were usually sanctimonious and kept talking about the safety of the Supernatural World were actually the masterminds behind this evil power?

"This melon is a bit big!" Ji Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile, dangerous light flickering in his eyes.

He took a deep breath; the air was filled with the smell of conspiracy, making one feel waves of oppression.

As they gradually approached the truth, the resistance from the high-level officials began to manifest.

Various open spears and hidden arrows were hard to guard against, like a dense net, attempting to trap the two firmly.

The surrounding atmosphere also became tense and oppressive, as if a storm were about to arrive.

"Heh, looks like some people can't sit still anymore." Ceng Yue sneered, her cold eyes now like the frost of the twelfth lunar month, radiating a chill that made one shudder.

What was most unacceptable was that after they were slandered by the high-level officials as traitors to the Supernatural World, those who had once revered them instantly changed their faces, one after another beginning to criticize and curse them, as if they had become heinous sinners.

"These days, the plot twist is too fast, right?" Ji Chen's heart felt as if a giant rock were pressing on it; the cheers and admiration of the past had now turned into harsh mockery, this huge gap making him feel deep pain inside.

The surroundings were filled with hostile gazes, like countless cold knives, stabbing fiercely at them.

They seemed to be in endless darkness, unable to see a trace of light.

Ceng Yue said nothing; she just gripped her weapon even tighter, expressing her determination with actual actions.

She knew that any words at this moment were pale; only actions could break these shackles of darkness.

"Looks like some people want to finish us off." Ji Chen sneered, his aura erupting suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, violent and powerful.

He stared tightly at the distance, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's.

Ceng Yue also prepared for battle, the weapon in her hand flashing with cold light, as if telling of her fearless determination.

"I feel..." Ceng Yue suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of confusion, but also a hint of indescribable anticipation.

Ji Chen's gaze also became deep; he looked at Ceng Yue, seemingly waiting for what she would say next, or seemingly having guessed something long ago.

"Go on."

Ceng Yue tilted her head slightly, looking in a certain direction, and said slowly, "There seems to be..." Her voice stopped abruptly.

Ji Chen's gaze became as sharp as a hawk's; he suddenly grabbed Ceng Yue's hand and whispered: "Follow me, I've found something." The two quickly merged into the night, their figures moving like ghosts between the high-rise buildings.

They arrived at a hidden warehouse; the surroundings were silent, only the distant siren of a police car faintly audible.

Ji Chen stopped, closed his eyes, and fully perceived the supernatural energy fluctuations around him.

Suddenly, his brow twitched violently, a familiar energy fluctuation pouring into his heart.

"Here!" he shouted in a low voice, slapping open the iron door of the warehouse with one palm; the door was shaken, emitting a massive sound that echoed in the empty warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, several documents were scattered on the ground, the documents recording the conspiracy of the high-level officials.

Ji Chen quickly picked up the documents, flipping through them rapidly; one key piece of evidence after another appeared before his eyes.

A cold smile curled on his lips, his eyes flashing with firm light.

Ceng Yue stood to the side, silently guarding him; the two coordinated tacitly, like a pair of invincible hunters, capturing the traces of their prey.

Ji Chen gripped the documents tightly and turned to face Ceng Yue. "Go, let's go back and expose the truth." The two quickly left the warehouse, disappearing into the night again.

They returned to the core area of the Supernatural World; the crowd was bustling, and the atmosphere was tense.

Ji Chen stood on high ground, holding the documents high, and shouted with all his might: "I am Ji Chen, I have evidence to prove that those so-called 'high-level officials' are the traitors of the Supernatural World!"

The crowd instantly quieted down, everyone's gaze focused on Ji Chen.

The slanderers' faces changed drastically, terror and anger intertwined in their eyes.

Ji Chen sneered, spreading out the documents and reading the key content aloud.

Every time he read a line, the surrounding people would emit a wave of uproar.

The slanderers' faces grew increasingly pale, sweat sliding down their foreheads.

When Ji Chen finished reading the last document, the crowd boiled over.

They began to cheer, shouting Ji Chen's name, the admiration of the past surging back into their hearts.

Ji Chen's image became even taller at this moment, like an unfallen mountain peak, standing in the center of the Supernatural World.

The slanderers saw that the situation was gone, their faces iron-blue, gnashing their teeth and whispering something to each other.

Suddenly, several assassins dressed in black, their auras cold and chilling, emerged from all directions; they were all powerful, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue quickly entered a state of battle, the two coordinating tacitly, every move and style showing their tacit understanding.

The assassins' attacks were ruthless, but Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were fearless; relying on each other's support, they resisted stubbornly.

The fire of battle illuminated the surrounding night sky, the sound of silver weapons colliding and the explosions of supernatural abilities intertwining, forming a set of shocking symphonies.

Just when they were about to repel the assassins, suddenly, the assassins pulled a bizarre-looking device from their bosoms, flashing with ominous light.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's faces flashed with solemnity simultaneously, Ceng Yue whispering: "That is..."

Ji Chen took a deep breath, looking at Ceng Yue with firm eyes. "No matter what it is, we have to face it."

The two joined forces again, fighting the assassins holding forbidden supernatural weapons; everything around them became silent, leaving only their figures moving rapidly in the firelight, the battle entering a white-hot stage. ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
