National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Completing the Mission, Obtaining the Nascent Soul Secret Scripture Chapter

”Trying to kill yourself?”

Chu He smiled mockingly. With a light flick of his finger, a wisp of True Qi instantly entered the female agent’s body.

The female agent instantly lost all control of her body.

It was as if her soul had been forcibly shoved into a shell that didn’t belong to it at all.

This was exactly what the female agent felt in that instant.

Just moments before, Chu He had seen a flicker of panic in her eyes.

But the panic was fleeting, quickly replaced by a resolve to face death.

Chu He understood immediately.

’This agent was so determined to die after realizing she’d been exposed. She must be trying to end her life quickly to hide the core secret,’ he thought, ’and to avoid the excruciating pain that’s likely coming her way.’

However, she hadn’t expected Chu He to be even quicker to notice and even faster to act, completely cutting off her final option.

Chu He felt a tinge of regret.

’Since this agent was so ready to die the moment she was exposed, it means she’s just another disposable tool. Otherwise, with the plan still incomplete, why would she choose to end her own life so easily?’

Chu He reached out and placed his hand directly on top of the female agent’s head.

Just like with Si Haowen, the female agent’s memories were rapidly stripped away by Chu He.

”No wonder you were in such a hurry to die. Although you aren’t the one who devised the plan, you certainly know quite a lot.”

Chu He withdrew his hand. In the face of his formidable Primordial Spirit Power, all the agent’s secrets were rendered useless, like an open book filled with answers for him to peruse.

”Mr. Chu, how is the investigation coming along?”

Yuan Jixian walked to Chu He’s side.

The force of Chu He’s earlier stomp had inflicted tremendous damage on the female fans.

Both ankles of every fan were fractured. With their frail bodies, they had no way of standing up or moving again.

”It’s all clear now. You just need to take care of the scene and these criminals. Take Si Haowen and this female agent back into custody, then handle the remaining minor details. I’ll report everything else directly to Lu Yinxing.”

Chu He said flatly.

”Yes, I understand.”

Yuan Jixian was well aware that Chu He had a close relationship with Lu Yinxing, the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Empire.

So, he didn’t say anything more. His mission, after all, was to fully cooperate with any of Chu He’s instructions.

Since Chu He had said as much, Yuan Jixian didn’t press the matter. He immediately arranged for a few of his trusted subordinates to transfer both Si Haowen and the female agent to the Royal City.

As for the injured, star-crazed fans lying on the ground, Yuan Jixian would handle them with the local Defense Team members from Yanglan City.

DING! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission. You have obtained the ”Nascent Soul Secret Scripture Chapter.”

Immediately after, a vast and obscure stream of information flooded into his mind.

A look of delight appeared on Chu He’s face.

He then turned and vanished from the airport.

Chu He didn’t return directly to the Royal City of the Great Xia Empire.

Instead, he chose the depths of a remote, ancient mountain forest nearby and entered a cave.

He casually gathered a large pile of rocks and sealed the cave entrance tightly.

Next, Chu He would begin his secluded cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

...

「Canglang City.」

In the distance, atop the snow-capped mountains, the white snow glittered with a holy light in the morning glow, like a silent and solemn guardian deity protecting this land.

Towering shorea trees pierced the clouds, their lush branches weaving together into a verdant canopy.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting mottled patterns of light and shadow.

Streams gurgled through the forest, birds sang among fragrant flowers, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and leaves.

”You’ve all seen the video. This just happened. My subordinates saved the complete surveillance footage from every angle at the airport and sent it to me.

Now, take a look. Just what level has Chu He’s strength reached?

I really don’t know how my sister got so lucky. She actually managed to find Chu He’s parents and used that as a pretext to invite him to the Great Xia Empire.

The most crucial thing is, not only is Chu He nothing like how the Great Jing Empire described him, but his strength has become even more terrifying. It’s giving me a real headache.”

Inside a luxurious villa, a young man sat in a rocking chair. On sofas to either side of him sat numerous people of all ages, both men and women.

Every one of them emanated a powerful aura.

The vast majority of those present were highly skilled Martial Artists, with the weakest being at the King’s Realm.

There was even one who had reached the Emperor Realm.

To recruit these experts, the young man had expended tremendous effort and resources.

However, in the young man’s eyes, they were still no match for Chu He. It was a good thing he had just obtained this new video of Chu He in action.

”It’s hard to say. Chu He didn’t use his full strength this time.”

A man shook his head after watching. ”But just from this casual strike, his control over energy has already reached a level I can’t even begin to fathom.

If I were to face him, I’d be killed in an instant.”

The man’s eyes were filled with worry and fear.

He was terrified the young man might get a rash idea and suddenly order them to assassinate Chu He.

This young man was none other than Lu Tianxiao, the blood brother of Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Xia Empire, Lu Yinxing.

Back then, Lu Tianxiao and Lu Yinxing were considered the two most promising candidates to inherit the throne of the Great Xia Empire.

Lu Tianxiao had long been ambitious, fully prepared to become the emperor revered by millions.

He had even formulated a series of plans, ready to implement drastic reforms upon taking office and propel the Great Xia Empire to the pinnacle of Blue Star.

But unexpectedly, the final result was that his own sister took the throne.

And Lu Tianxiao was exiled to this place called Canglang City, a Border City.

Although Canglang City was scenic, its economy, education, and other sectors were sorely lacking.

Even someone of Lu Tianxiao’s status found life here quite difficult, let alone the ordinary people.

In this place, Lu Tianxiao could see no hope at all.

”Elder Shi, if it were you, would you be a match for Chu He?”

Lu Tianxiao looked at the old man who had been standing beside him, straight as a century-old pine tree.

This old man’s face was covered in wrinkles and his eyes seemed somewhat cloudy, but no one present dared to underestimate him.

Because this elder was a genuine powerhouse of the Emperor Realm.

Lu Tianxiao had befriended this elder back when he was still in the Royal City, and their association continued to this day.

”He could kill me as easily as killing a chicken.”

The old man answered directly, without even glancing at the video.

Lu Tianxiao was slightly surprised, but a moment later, he laughed in resignation.

’That’s right. Who would dare claim to be Chu He’s opponent?’ he thought. ’The man is too strong—so strong that he makes countless Martial Artists lose all confidence.’
