Chapter 1659: It Has Nothing to Do With Me Whether She Lives or Dies

As long as he strikes with his sword, the thing before his eyes will completely vanish.

Pingchuan let out a hiss and suddenly vanished from the spot; the next second, Kawana's complexion turned deathly pale, her face like a sheet of white paper.

Her eyes rolled back, and the blue and purple veins on her face bulged, looking extremely terrifying and ghastly.

"If you dare to touch my Relic Pagoda, I will finish her off," Chuan Naizi hissed angrily, then reached out her hand, her right fingernails extending and sharpening, pressing against her own throat.

"Playing the possession card?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "She is a Fusang person, one of your own. What does it have to do with me if she dies? Do you think I care?"

"You... you came together. She is under my control now; do you not care at all?" Pingchuan Yilang was somewhat dumbfounded. He had originally assumed Chuan Naizi and Chen Yu were together, but judging by Chen Yu's tone, he didn't seem to care much about her.

"She came to beg me for help. Do you think I care about her?" Chen Yu laughed: "If you want to strangle her, then do it quickly. Don't waste my time; my time is very precious."

"I don't believe you really don't care about her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to help her. You want her to die, right? Fine, I will grant your wish now." Pingchuan shrieked, and with a stretch of his right claw, he controlled Chuan Naizi's hand to claw at her own throat; it looked as if Chuan Naizi was about to be disemboweled.

But just at this moment, a flash of golden light emerged from Chuan Naizi's body; it was the Talisman Chen Yu had given her before she entered the village taking effect.

Brilliant light radiated from all around her, and a black, translucent figure was forcibly driven out of her body.

With a thud, Pingchuan screamed and vanished once more, and this time, Chen Yu would not give him another chance.

Extending his right hand, the Li Chen appeared in his grasp. As Chen Yu raised his hand and brought the sword down, a single strike swept out, destroying all the dozens of surrounding Relic Pagodas. However, the Relic Pagoda belonging to Pingchuan Yilang was made of hard material and was not destroyed by the single strike.

Pingchuan's body formed once again. This time he revealed his true face, but he was now filled with terror.

"Do you have any last words?" Chen Yu sheathed the Li Chen in his hand: "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to return this time. Once your Relic Pagoda is destroyed, you will face the fate of vanishing into smoke and clouds."

Crack... a crack appeared on the last Relic Pagoda. Following this crisp sound, the crack gradually widened, and immediately after, this Relic Pagoda of Pingchuan Yilang suddenly split into two halves.

His form also began to gradually become transparent. Pingchuan let out a scream, and his body tore apart along with it. This arrogant fellow finally vanished into smoke and clouds.

The sky around them slowly began to brighten; the two of them had actually stayed here for an entire night.

"Let's go, let's head out," Chen Yu said indifferently, turning to leave first.

Chuan Naizi also hesitated for a moment; she bit her lip and followed Chen Yu out.

Outside the village, troops were already stationed, various heavy artillery were mounted on vehicles, and armed helicopters carrying incendiary bombs were ready to strike.

A middle-aged woman hurried over; she was Chuan Naizi's aunt, Xingzi, who had finally been released after the investigation was completed.

"Aunt..." Chuan Naizi lunged forward, grabbing Xingzi in a hug, nearly shedding tears.

"Chuan Naizi, are you alright?" Xingzi held her tightly.

"I'm fine, Aunt. I'm just... a little tired." Chuan Naizi shook her head, and the tears finally couldn't be held back and fell.

"It's alright, rest well if you're tired," Xingzi comforted her: "I'll have someone send you home. Rest well after you get back; you've really worked hard during this time."

"It wasn't hard. I was just earnestly doing what I felt was right, but..." Xingzi murmured: "In the end, I discovered that my faith is not even worth mentioning in the face of power and profit."

"You are still young," Xingzi said, cupping her face and murmuring: "There are many things you haven't experienced yourself, and you won't understand."

"You think that justice is the supreme principle in this world, but some people don't think so. Profit determines everything. Alright, go back and get some good rest; leave things here to me," Xingzi said: "I will follow all of Mr. Chen's suggestions."

Chuan Naizi nodded, a look of confusion appearing on her face. She truly didn't know what to do about the future. Several Detectives took her down, then led her into a car and left the place.

"Mr. Chen Yu, thank you." After Chuan Naizi left, Xingzi bowed deeply to Chen Yu: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Chuan Naizi wouldn't have been able to walk out of there, right?"

"It would be a miracle if she could walk out alive," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "My suggestion is to use incendiary bombs to conduct a high-temperature sweep of this place. Chuan Naizi and I have already gone in to look; there are no living people inside."

"Is the virus situation already this serious? Yamamoto Masao concealed the truth; he is a sinner of the Empire, and he should be executed by firing squad." Xingzi's expression was solemn, and she murmured: "If he hadn't concealed the truth and framed Mr. Chen, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

"The deaths of these people were not entirely due to the virus, but because those things you worshipped before came out to wreak havoc. Under the influence of the virus, they took advantage of the situation, leading to the deaths of the monks in the temple," Chen Yu said solemnly.

"There is such a thing?" Xingzi was startled. She was so shocked she couldn't recover for a long time. After a while, she murmured: "At the time, I was strongly opposed to this matter, but we didn't succeed, so this place became a place where they worshipped ghosts."

"They probably didn't expect that this would become the culprit that ended the lives of hundreds of people in an entire village."

"The virus was also the main reason for the outbreak," Chen Yu paused and said: "So this matter was a disaster planted long ago. Therefore, no one should blame anyone; it has no meaning."

"Mr. Chen, so your meaning is to burn this place?" Xingzi asked: "Yamamoto Masao failed in his duties and is currently under investigation. The Qingtian Faction is now behaving, so the higher-ups want me to handle the spread of the virus. I will listen to everything you say."

"Burn it directly. The virus development still has flaws, and high temperatures will kill the virus directly. Currently, this place is a severely affected area, so this is the only method," Chen Yu said: "As for the rest, I will not take action until Yamamoto Masao publicly apologizes."

"But... the higher-ups will not admit their mistakes," Xingzi was slightly stunned.

"That is their business. If they don't admit their mistakes, then let this matter develop as it will. Don't worry, not everyone will die; at most, two-thirds will die," Chen Yu said indifferently: "So you can let them decide what to do."
