Chapter 235: Chapter 232: Great Buddha Temple

In that single instant, she successfully retrieved Meng Hu and hid herself in the Jiezhi Space.

When the explosion subsided and Chen Xing emerged from the Jiezhi Space, an entire row of houses had been completely obliterated.

’The Migratory Clan really doesn’t pull its punches!’

’Those few calves would be worth a fortune if they were sold now, yet they just blew them up...’

’The Migratory Clan is even more vicious than I thought!’

Chen Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly as she walked toward the cattle farm she had previously suspected was a front.

But... after just a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

Under the scorching sun, the glittering golden Buddha was incredibly dazzling.

This cattle farm was so conspicuous; it didn’t seem like a place the cautious Migratory Clan would choose.

Besides, the bomb just now had flown in from the direction of the Great Buddha.

Chen Xing immediately found her RV and drove toward the Great Buddha.

The Great Buddha looked close, but it was actually quite far.

After navigating many winding mountain roads, Chen Xing parked the vehicle on the edge of a small cliff.

’Going down from here is a shorter, straight path, and I can avoid the Migratory Clan’s line of sight.’

The small cliff was about ten meters high, with many large trees below.

Chen Xing didn’t use a rope, but instead jumped straight down.

She broke her fall on a large tree, landing smoothly on the ground.

She first released Meng Hu before heading straight for the Great Buddha.

The path she chose was clearly one that nobody ever used.

Large trees, weeds, and vines blocked the way, making it difficult to traverse.

Chen Xing had to hack through the vines as she walked.

As she neared the Great Buddha, the path became much easier to walk, and she could even see surveillance cameras hanging from the trees.

’Cameras. Good!’

’This proves I’ve found the right place.’

With so many trees, it was quite easy for Chen Xing to evade the cameras.

She had already reached the back of the Great Buddha statue.

The Great Buddha looked large from a distance, but up close, it was astonishingly huge.

She was only about as tall as one of the Buddha’s toes.

Suddenly, a shout echoed from up ahead.

It was the kind of sound that could only be made by many people shouting in unison.

After that came a report of their gains.

”Brother Lei, look who we caught!” a man’s fawning voice called out. ”It’s the sole heir of the Li Family, Li Feibai! Brother Lei... with him in our hands, won’t the Li Family obediently hand over half of their supplies?”

”Damn it! Who told you to mess with the Li Family again?” The voice of their leader was deep and powerful, carrying an authority that could not be refused.

This was immediately followed by a loud THWACK.

The man who had spoken was knocked to the ground by a punch, losing several teeth.

Chen Xing had already moved to a position where she could see the situation clearly.

Li Feibai was brought into the front hall of the Great Buddha Temple, bound hand and foot.

It seemed he had also been punched; the corner of his mouth was split and bleeding slightly.

But there was no fear in his eyes. He had the air of a spoiled rich kid, posturing as if to say, ’Touch me and I’ll wipe you all out.’

The Migratory Clan’s Brother Da Lei stared at Li Feibai, seemingly deliberating for a long time before finally speaking, ”Take him away!”

’He’s already been caught, what else can be done?’

”You dare to capture me? Do you have any idea what the consequences will be when my old man finds out?” Li Feibai showed no fear of being captured.

His old man was still a pretty useful card to play.

While not as influential as the Four Great Families within the country, in the south, he was a renowned figure.

Even members of the Four Great Families had to show Mr. Li some respect when they were in the south.

Brother Da Lei sneered. ”Young Master, have you never heard the saying, ’The mountains are high and the emperor is far away’? No matter how powerful your rich and influential Mr. Li is, he can’t just come to the North and arrest people whenever he pleases. Besides, my place is this well-hidden. Forget him, not even a single fly could get in here!”

Chen Xing: ’...’ ’You’re a little too confident.’

’Didn’t Li Feibai find his own way here?’

’Although, he does look a bit miserable.’

’But this was his method.’

Just as Chen Xing had guessed, Li Feibai had let himself be captured.

He instantly vanished from his original position and reappeared in front of Brother Da Lei.

The ropes binding him clattered to the floor.

Li Feibai put away a small knife, a confident smile on his face. ”You killed my sister. Today, I’ll make every last one of you from the Migratory Clan die with her!”

As he spoke, he teleported again, grabbing his bag and pulling out a gun.

The sequence of actions was so smooth it left many of them stunned.

Of course, that didn’t include Brother Da Lei.

He grabbed a person next to him and pulled them in front as a shield. ”You’re just one man with one gun. We have so many people here. You think you can get out of this alive?”

”Brother Lei...” The man grabbed by Brother Da Lei to be a human shield turned pale. He never would have imagined that his boss, who was always talking about brotherhood, would use him as a meat shield.

”Shut up!”

Li Feibai actually laughed. ”A bunch of fucking idiots, following a bastard like him?”

After that, he stopped wasting words and started spraying bullets.

The Migratory Clan’s Superpower Users and their Firearms Team all aimed at Li Feibai.

But he would flicker and disappear, only to reappear somewhere else.

Brother Da Lei was indeed formidable. Twice, Li Feibai teleported near him, but he managed to dodge both times.

”Drop the nets on him!” Brother Da Lei roared, enraged after dodging another one of Li Feibai’s attacks.

At his command, a massive net descended from above.

Li Feibai tried to dodge, but someone grabbed his foot.

He was forcefully trapped beneath the massive net.

Chen Xing: ’...’ ’And here I thought I wouldn’t have to step in!?’

Brother Da Lei shoved aside his human shield and walked toward the struggling Li Feibai, a sinister look in his eyes. ”Still think you can fly?”

Li Feibai: ”...”

He angrily kicked the person who had grabbed his foot.

”You’re so treacherous! Do you live in front of a Buddha statue to repent for all the evil things you’ve done? Let me tell you, even if you repented, the Buddha would never forgive you!”

”The Buddha? Haven’t you noticed the Buddha has been protecting me all along? Otherwise, how could a little punk like you get caught by me?” With victory in his grasp, Brother Da Lei was clearly much more composed. He walked over to Li Feibai, squatted down, and patted his face. ”You want to avenge your big sister, right? Should I give you a chance to enjoy yourself like your sister did? Miss Li was a real treat to play with!”

”I’ll fucking kill you!” Li Feibai roared, trying to grab Brother Da Lei through the net.

Brother Da Lei glanced at his armed subordinate. ”Finish him!”

’Don’t leave him alive for a second. Killing him will save a lot of trouble!’

The subordinate had just raised his gun when a girl in trousers and a short-sleeved shirt walked down.

Her steps were as leisurely as a stroll in the mountains. Her face was cold and detached, like an emotionless machine.

”B-B-Brother Lei... it’s, it’s her...” Someone who recognized Chen Xing was already backing away in fear, trying to warn Brother Da Lei as he retreated.

Brother Da Lei didn’t react at first, but after seeing Meng Hu behind Chen Xing, he guessed who she was. ”You’re Chen Xing?”

”Yeah.” Chen Xing granted him the courtesy of a reply.

”How did you get in?” Brother Da Lei stared in the direction Chen Xing had come from, which was clearly his own backyard.

”Never mind how I got in. You should go deal with those things. Otherwise, none of you will make it out alive!”
