Chapter 392: Chapter 155: Goal Set, Time for a Big Move (7,800 Words)

"You think I’m an idiot? You think you can fool me? Do you know who I am? I’m a Life General level expert! Who am I afraid of?"

"Life General? Ha!" The person next to him chuckled disdainfully:

"These people here are from the Star Soul Group.

Not a single one of them is below the Destiny Sect level! The strongest among them is a Life King level expert, are you sure you’re not afraid?"

"This..."

Instantly, the person who was just being so arrogant fell silent.

In the Life Soul World,

anyone who possesses a Life Soul.

has a standardized hierarchy of levels.

From lowest to highest, they are Life Warrior, Life General, Destiny Sect, Life King, Life Saint, Life Emperor.

As a Life General, among ordinary people, one is certainly not considered weak, and even in the army, they can typically hold the position of a squad leader.

But compared to Destiny Sect and Life Saint, there’s no comparison.

Even the weakest member of the Destiny Sect can fend off a hundred people single-handedly.

And a Life King level expert can take on a thousand alone.

Such a level of expert is rare in any city and certainly a prominent figure.

If such a prominent figure wanted to kill him without leaving any trace, wouldn’t that be more than enough?

Inside the stone hut.

The crime scene.

Several members of the Star Soul Group were clearly distributed, part of them searching the scene, while others silently observed the body.

One young man growled low, transforming into a three-meter-long large white-haired dog, the giant dog came to the body, constantly sniffing, soaking in the scents.

After a long time.

He turned to look at the ponytail middle-aged burly man and said:

"Captain, I don’t detect any scent of Bonte and Nali."

"Rote, you possess the Howling Moon Wolf Life Soul, giving you one of the best tracking abilities. As long as the murderer had contact with Bonte and Nali within a month, there’s absolutely no way they could escape your nose.

Since you’ve confirmed there’s none, then there is none."

The middle-aged ponytail man nodded gently.

"But...could it be that the other party knew Rote’s ability and saw through this in advance?" someone beside asked.

"Heh~ Sean, Bonte, Nali, we’ve all heard their details on the way, haven’t we?

Do you think someone like Sean is enough to make Bonte feel threatened, enough to hire someone to kill what everyone else considers trash?

Moreover, from what we understand, someone like Bonte isn’t someone who genuinely cares for anyone, he might just hang out with that girl named Nali for a few months before separating. Such a person, to kill Sean? To challenge the City Lord’s law and order?"

"This... indeed seems unlikely."

"Wait, Rote, you seem hesitant, do you have something else to say?" The ponytail middle-aged burly man noticed Rote’s expression and asked softly.

"Captain... the scents in this house, aside from us and those who first arrived at the scene, aren’t that many.

But there is one scent that I’m quite concerned about."

"Oh? It seems you might have a suspect in mind. Who is it?"

"There’s a scent very similar to that Black Cat Thief who’s been stealing around the city recently, you should know I’ve been to quite a few Black Cat Thief scenes before..."

"Black Cat Thief? That’s a Life Beast, right? Daring to roam in our city to steal, that’s quite a show of courage.

I didn’t expect that wouldn’t be enough, now it dares to kill as well?"

The ponytail middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, revealing a gleam of cold light, his voice filled with killing intent.

"Rote! When I report back to the City Lord, you may lead the team to capture the Black Cat Thief, how about it? Not a problem, right?"

"Of course! I will not betray the City Lord’s and the captain’s trust," Rote, the one who transformed into the giant dog, said confidently.

"Hey! What’s this!"

Suddenly, a light exclamation came from the side.

The ponytail middle-aged man and the giant dog Rote immediately turned to look.

Only to see a man who was searching a wardrobe, holding a black leather-like book in his hands.

The cover of the book, currently facing them sideways, allowing them to see a line of strange symbols engraved on it.

These symbols, they’ve never seen them before, but upon first glance, they clearly understood the meaning.

"Dharma Gate of the Armed Qi Technique!"

"Dharma Gate of the Armed Qi Technique!"

The two spoke in unison, then glanced at each other.

"This should be someone’s Artifact Soul! Such a strange ability."

"Put it down! Someone! Check immediately!"

The ponytail middle-aged man immediately ordered, then exited the stone hut with a group, leaving one person behind to check thoroughly, and once no danger was discovered, they returned to the stone hut.

And opened the black book.

The more they read, the more peculiar their expressions became.

After reading, the ponytail middle-aged man said:

"This seems to be a straightforward book teaching how to learn the Armed Qi Technique."

"A crime scene leaving this kind of thing is truly strange; could the Life Beast have come searching for this book?"

"It’s possible."

"Speaking of which, is the Armed Qi really as powerful as the book claims? At its pinnacle.

With one punch, it can crumble a mountain peak, and with a stomp, it can crack the earth, with attacks on the body like feathers?

Somebody asked in disbelief, doubtfully.

"You think that’s possible? A strength like that, even a so-called Life Emperor might not possess! If it were so powerful, wouldn’t the creator of this manuscript have been invincible by now?"
