Chapter 717: Capturing Qin Shaoji; The world is a cage, the ceiling of cultivation
As Chang Le, Chen Wusui and Chen Wu were on their way to the border between District 9 and District 1, the sound of the cuckoo's cry rang in their minds again.
"Less than two hours after Qin Shaoji showed up at the Qin family, the only important pill was stolen from the No. 1 laboratory of the Nuwa Base Research Institute. After investigation, it was confirmed that it was Qin Shaoji who did it. The district informed us that according to the secret location on the pill, it was confirmed that Qin Shaoji was currently heading from Hua'an City to District . The Wolf Faction is ready to help intercept him."
"The key point is that the pill is about fusion, and it was obtained from the God-making Sect."
Chang Le and the other two boarded the Dragon Faction's aircraft and flew directly via a private route to the estimated location informed by the district.
As soon as we entered the Wolf Faction’s airspace, Luo Xuan sent another message.
It was the location of Qin Shaoji, indicating that he was about to arrive at Dingde City, the northernmost city in Area 1. Moreover, looking at the positioning path and speed detection, Qin Shaoji's speed began to slow down, and it seemed that he had arrived at his destination.
"Why is it Dingde City?" Chang Le was puzzled.
Neither Chen Wusui nor Chen Wu could figure it out.
Although Dingde City is located on the border between District 1 and District 9, except for occasional friction between the two districts, the city's presence is usually weak and inconspicuous. Although there are some resource reserves, there are no high-tech weapons bases, research laboratories or communication towers there, and it seems that there is nothing worth Qin Shaoji's special choice.
With doubts in their minds, the three of them quickly flew to Dingde City.
Chang Le and Chen Wusui took Chen Wu, who was unable to fly, directly into Dingde City from the aircraft.
Chang Le still uses the appearance of Fujiu.
Soon after the three entered the city, they discovered that the Yanhui Tower in the center of the city was blocked, and they knew that Qin Shaoji was there.
Once there, I was allowed in after showing my ID.
"Mr. Fu Jiu, right?" The acquaintances, the Wolf Clan's War Wolf Sect's masters Jing Yuyan and Sui Yunmu greeted them.
Chang Le pretended to be Fu Jiu's normal state, nodded slightly, and did not extend his hand.
Jing Yuyan raised her eyebrows, but didn't care about this rude behavior, and said, "The people in charge of the pursuit of Ying Xuanxu and Shen Xiu from District 1 are the ones who have been surrounded."
Without waiting to ask where the person was, several different powerful energies collided with each other, bringing up a strong wind.
Chang Le looked in the direction of the energy and saw the old man Qin Shaoji standing on the ancient tower of more than 20 meters. The old man stood lightly on the top of the tower, looking into the distance.
Chang Le and his companions walked in front of the blockading soldiers.
The serious Ying Xuanxu nodded slightly when he saw them. "I heard that the people from District Nine want to meet Qin Shaoji. Please wait for a moment. After he is arrested, you can ask him again."
"What if we can't catch him?" Jing Yuyan bluntly rebuked him.
Ying Xuanxu frowned and said nothing.
Chang Le asked Shen Xiu: "What did he do?"
Shen Xiu whispered: "No, just stand there."
He paused, then said in a serious tone, "The pill he stole was said to be made by the God-making Sect. It is a drug that can allow people to integrate other supernatural powers. He took it away just as the institute decided to open it for research. The biggest problem now is that we don't know what specific effects the pill has."
Chang Le expressed his doubts in his heart.
It is definitely impossible for the God-making Sect to come up with this kind of medicine. If they did, they wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to lure the alien species here and keep holding her captive.
So what exactly was the medicine that Qin Shaoji took?
After a brief discussion, the few of them tacitly separated two people - Chang Le and Chen Wusui, who had just arrived, plus Sui Yunmu, who already understood the structure of Yanhui Pagoda, and quietly climbed the tower from a path behind Qin Shaoji.
The three of them quickly climbed the tower.
When there was only one floor left to the top of the tower, the three of them stopped in tacit understanding.
Looking up, through the gap between the inclined stairs and the attic, you can clearly see Qin Shaoji standing there.
The three of them approached slowly, but did not hide.
There is no point in hiding. At such a distance, with their cultivation level, unless they have special abilities to hide, they will be able to sense each other.
The slow approach was just to guard against any sudden moves by Qin Shaoji.
But until the three of them climbed up to the attic and were only head-high from Qin Shaoji, Qin Shaoji did not take any action.
The three of them walked to the edge of the attic, and Qin Shaoji suddenly spoke: "Is Changle or any of the other friends from District 9 here? Come up and chat."
In the end, the other two were no match for Chang Le, so Chang Le climbed to the top of the tower with Fu Jiu's appearance.
Chang Le ignored the tilted tower top, walked steadily to a certain distance away, and said: "My name is Fu Jiu, from District 9, you can tell me anything you want to say to Chang Le."
"Fujiu? What is your relationship with Dragon Emperor Fuguang and Changle?"
Qin Shaoji looked older than the last time they met, but he no longer had that gloomy look. Instead, he looked a bit like the kind and humorous old man in the Hongqi courtyard, and he had a relaxed smile on his face as he spoke.
Chang Le did not sense any murderous aura from him. Thinking about Fu Jiu's temperament, he sat down where he was, with a relaxed and natural posture.
She replied: "Of course it's a very close relationship."
Qin Shaoji chuckled and said, "Great, District 9 still has successors."
Chang Le didn’t understand.
Fu Jiu: "Did the old man misunderstand something? You didn't think I was your child, did you?"
Chang Le was so upset that he secretly asked him to turn off the microphone.
"If we just want to chat, we can move to the small dark room in Hua'an City. It's more comfortable there than here." Chang Le said lightly.
"You already said it was a small dark room. At the last minute, I want to take a good look at the sun. I don't want to be so frustrated that I have to leave my life and death to others."
Chang Le's lips curled up in a mocking arc: "You don't like others to arrange your life and death, but you have spent most of your life arranging the fate of others. What a retribution."
Qin Shaoji didn't say anything, and seemed to be staring at the clear sky in a trance.
But Chang Le saw that he was stepping lightly on the top of the tower with his legs, which showed that he was exerting force without relaxing. This meant that Qin Shaoji did not relax at all and could not launch a sneak attack.
"Fujiu, do you know that the Super Ninth Realm is not the pinnacle of human beings?" Qin Shaoji suddenly asked.
Chang Le said: "I know."
"But since the natural disaster, the supernatural power cultivation system has been formed for nearly four hundred years, and no one, not even a single creature, has been able to break through the boundaries of the Super Ninth Realm. Do you know why?"
Chang Le did not give a perfunctory answer. She had thought about this question before:
"Because of the restrictions of the world's laws."
Qin Shaoji smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, our world is a huge cage, which can protect us, but also trap us. When the danger outside the cage arrives through the gaps in the bars, we also try to squeeze out through the gaps."
"Do you believe that someone can really break through that invisible ceiling?" The old man looked up at the sky, his eyes showing ambition that had not yet dissipated, but was suppressed in his dim and old eyes.
"Believe."
Chang Le didn't hesitate at all.
"I believe it too," Qin Shaoji looked at her, "I believe that [fusion] is the most efficient, most possible and least costly path."
Chang Le didn't understand why he was so sure about [Fusion]: "[Fusion] is not suitable for this world. It is a dead end. You have taken the wrong path. Your obsession has turned you into a demon."
"No! [Fusion] exists! It can really evolve! I'm not crazy, I'm sober!" Qin Shaoji suddenly became excited and leaned forward slightly.
Chang Le frowned slightly: "Qin Xian has experienced it and proved that this is a dead end; what can you do to prove your obsession?"
Qin Shaoji's dim eyes gradually opened wider, and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted up, revealing a strange smile.
"Zizi-"
A black and white arc of light swept out from around the two people, and all the large and small monitoring equipment around the top of the tower were destroyed.
Chang Le did not move. She was connected to the Internet and knew that there were countless monitoring systems set up around her. She also knew that Qin Shaoji's move just now had destroyed all the equipment.
Qin Shaoji suddenly stood up and came closer. Chang Le put her hand on his shoulder. The old woman also held her shoulder with her hand, and then said something word by word in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Chang Le's eyes suddenly widened.
In shock, she had no time to dodge the sudden slap from Qin Shaoji, so she had to mobilize her supernatural powers to resist. However, that slap was not an attack, but a push away. Chang Le was caught off guard and pushed off the tower.
