Chapter 191: [164] Respect the Way with heavenly thunder, I do not venerate deities (thanks to chester721 for their support)_1
“It’s “Quake”!”
“Is it the Technique “Quake”?”
“Could it be!!!”
In the central command room.
When someone saw the mysterious person unleash the Quake Technique, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of oddity.
Everyone’s expressions suddenly became somewhat solemn.
If it were said that the Technique “Quake” was just a basic technique, it wouldn’t be worthy of significant concern.
But within the entirety of Da Peng City, few could enhance and glorify this technique.
At a certain moment, the gazes of those present intermingled in pairs and trios.
Without any explicit statement, everyone already understood each other’s thoughts.
Because a certain person’s name had quietly surfaced in everyone’s minds.
Out of an unspoken consensus, no one said anything…
In a sense, many of them had received help from that person in the past, and before the final verdict on the matter was reached, no one wanted to tarnish that person’s reputation.
Zhou Weiren and the local officials of Da Peng City were different. He saw no issue with their silent understanding – at least not on the surface.
“Xing Tian, tell me the result of the identity verification.”
Just then.
On the screen.
Teacher Chang soared to the top in the probability ratios of the previous suspects, becoming the first!
“This…”
The officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the command room.
Only Zhou Weiren, full of vigor and authority, said, “No matter who the person is, I hope you all don’t forget your duties. Xing Tian, monitor the situation throughout. Any who dare to shield them will be punished the same and removed!”
“Yes, Governor. I have initiated full monitoring!” Xing Tian’s voice echoed in the combat meeting room.
Zhou Weiren didn’t pay attention to the varied expressions of those around him. He nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the screen.
Anxiety weighed on his mind.
How could he have gone there!
In a fleeting glimpse of the screen, Zhou Weiren thought he saw the figure of Pei Jinye.
Such high-level combat could be fatal with even the slightest carelessness.
Pei Jinye was a rare talent that Da Peng City had finally come across. It would be a terrible loss if he fell in this conflict.
However, given the current situation, he couldn’t say much about it.
He looked up at Secretary Lin not far away.
Understanding his signal, Secretary Lin quietly left the room.
…
“By the urgent decree of the Governor, I order Groups One and Two of the Investigation Team to urgently reinforce Anshan Road!”
…
Anshan Road.
The rain drifted down persistently.
Teacher Chang’s figure only stopped after stomping the ground three inches deep, and behind his half-broken mask, his face was smeared with blood—far from his former unflappable composure.
Hearing the surprised cries around him, he indifferently tore off the half-broken mask and threw it on the ground.
He knew that continuing to hide was meaningless.
As a teacher at the Night Patrol Department for many years, he knew all too well the golden three-minute window for escaping. If he couldn’t shake off the Federation’s pursuit within three minutes, then with Xing Tian’s tracking ability, his identity would surely be locked onto the suspect list.
Moreover…
His mask was already shattered.
There was no point in hiding any longer.
…
“Teacher Chang?”
“It’s really Teacher Chang!”
“How could Teacher Chang…”
The surrounding Night Patrol Members, after seeing the blood-stained face of Teacher Chang, found it difficult to accept.
“Teacher Chang, why would you betray the Federation! Little Six… Little Six was a rookie you personally trained, how could you bear to lay your hands on him!” someone loudly questioned, unable to accept it.
Teacher Chang slowly lifted his head, his voice much hoarser and filled with more years of experience.
“Weak in resolve, one cannot accomplish significant deeds… From the beginning, our paths were never the same. Since you are prepared to kill me, then steel your hearts and don’t let down the Federation’s investment.”
The Night Patrol Members were visibly moved.
It seemed no one had anticipated that one day their opponent would be that old man who used to walk hunched over, clutching his smoking pipe.
“Without rules, there is no circle. Teacher Chang, you were wrong from the beginning, why not put down your sword now?” Chu Tianye said in a ghostly tone.
“You are not fit to talk reason with me!” Teacher Chang said indifferently.
He stomped heavily.
The accumulated water on the ground splashed upwards, and the cracked earth rolled like a lightning-fast Earth Dragon, reaching all the way to Chu Tianye’s feet.
The next second.
Teacher Chang’s fist, enveloped with flames, thundered forward.
But it was immediately met by a flash of Sword Light.
“Although you have erred, I still respect you. I respect your past hatred of evil, your willingness to teach the technique without prejudice, your role in maintaining stability in Da Peng.” Chu Tianye’s voice floated over.
Teacher Chang was unyielding.
His punches were mighty.
The terrifying shockwave evaporated all the rainwater within dozens of meters.
Even Chu Tianye was left somewhat in disarray.
…
Pei Jinye stood atop a high building, witnessing all of this.
He suddenly realized…
He knew very little about the Federation.
Be it people from Sky God International or from the Old Gods Association, even those from Judgement Place… none could provide him with more detailed information.
Not to mention, there was some mysterious way at Judgement Place to erase those memories.
What about the others…
Was their true core of rebellion just to overturn the Federation?
Or was it…
The path to becoming a God that Teacher Chang spoke of?
The path to becoming a God… could one really become a God?
Pei Jinye was thoughtful.
He didn’t get excited over the sudden news.
He was naturally cautious.
Without understanding the path to becoming a God first, he naturally wouldn’t rush to pursue it.
