Chapter 94

No matter how much the story of Master Junshan is embellished, one thing remains unchanged: he is indeed a divine master, and an old-school one at that, with a combat strength of over ten million. Just how powerful he is, Du Qian can't even guess, but it's probably the kind of person who can blow a breath and stick themselves to the wall.

When such a person takes action, and the target is a spirit beast that has destroyed his hometown, it didn't just get driven away but wasn't killed. How powerful must this spirit beast be?

Even if Du Qian thinks about it with his navel, the spirit beast must be at the divine master level, or at least extremely close to it.

Master Junshan is going to learn arts, damn it, what are you learning?

Learning arts naturally means not always staying in Pingchuan, returning once every ten years. How can people live if you leave for ten years? Do you plan to let the spirit beast stay here for nine years first?

A spirit beast that can escape from Master Junshan, without a doubt, is not something all the people of Pingchuan combined can match. This trouble is not ordinary.

Spirit beasts have spirits, they are very smart. As long as they don't die, they will eventually come back for revenge. Master Junshan, of course, is not afraid, but others are.

Actually, Du Qian is overthinking. Concerning himself, the more he thinks, the more afraid he gets. Just by looking at history, one can see that in the Zhou Mountain Empire, there has never been a record of a city of the second level or higher being destroyed by a spirit beast.

No one in Pingchuan can stop it, but the Zhou Mountain Empire can. If it really comes to that level of attack, someone will naturally step up.

"Don't worry, Master Junshan has already said that he won't leave Pingchuan City until he deals with that spirit beast."

Damn, are you messing with me? Du Qian finally felt relieved. Dong Yue and Junshan are the stabilizing pillars of Pingchuan City. As long as you are a Pingchuan resident, you have full confidence in these two masters.

Well, this is just the thinking of ordinary people. The world of divine masters is too far from them. In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as someone is a divine master, they are invincible.

The truth? Few people know that almost every year, divine masters die for various reasons. Divine masters are just extremely powerful martial cultivators, not gods. How can they be invincible?

The three major countries do not report such matters, and even control the gossip. Therefore, ordinary people's understanding of divine masters is only superficial, or not even that.

The country sets up a level for the people to look up to. Each person in this level will be great, bright, just, and immortal.

Perhaps, this is what is called faith.

"By the way, who are you, and why are you in Pingchuan City?" the leading detective asked somewhat nervously.

The young man in front of him came by plane. In this era, most planes are controlled by the military, and civilian use is limited to scheduled ships.

Scheduled ships are not planes, or should be classified as airships. They are large in size, slow in speed, have a large carrying capacity, and are very stable.

"From the Flying Tiger Team."

"Flying Tiger Team?"

"Yes, do you know where our people are?" Du Qian asked. At this time, as an important violent agency in Pingchuan City, the Flying Tiger Team cannot stay out of it.

"The Flying Tiger Team is a mobile unit. There's a contact point ahead. I'll take you there." It's necessary to verify his identity. He didn't want to ask Du Qian for an ID card, so it's best to take him to the Flying Tiger Team for verification.

Actually, this leading detective didn't understand why, with a spirit beast attacking the city, they were told to watch out for suspicious people.

It wasn't far. After walking less than 500 meters, Du Qian saw a leisurely person. Everyone else was busy clearing the ruins or patrolling like this team of detectives, but this person was relaxed, looking around, and not far away, there was a table and chairs with drinks on them.

"Hello, this gentleman says he is one of yours?"

"Who are you?" The leisurely person was in his thirties, dressed in a martial artist's outfit, and not carrying a gun. He had a red badge hanging from his chest.

"I am Du Qian."

"Ah... you are Du Qian, are you okay? Didn't you take leave?"

"On the way, there was an accident, and I returned. When I came back, there was another accident." Du Qian didn't want to explain too much. He didn't know this person, so why bother?

"Is that so? I have a car. Are you going back to the team?" This guy sized up Du Qian, as if trying to imprint his appearance in his mind, thinking to himself, you have too many accidents.

"I won't be polite then. Is Yao Jing still at the team?" Du Qian asked.

"Yes, she's fine. You... did you get it?"

"Yes."

"Damn, you're amazing. I'll take you back to the team." This guy was excited. It really wasn't obvious, but he was a great person.

To most Flying Tiger Team members, Du Qian was just a nobody, but he was a nobody that the master had smelled. Even a nobody is a fragrant and well-known nobody.

Team Leader Fei racked his brains, begged, and pleaded, and only managed to get one sealing charm. Look at this guy, out for two days, one accident after another, and he actually got it...

No wonder he became a section chief just a month after graduation. Even if he's an unreliable section chief, he's still a section chief.

At this moment, the middle-aged Flying Tiger Team member felt a thunderbolt in his heart, and his faith instantly collapsed. Damn, no matter how good your talent or how hard you work, it can't compare to being noticed by a big shot.

"Thank you." Du Qian didn't hesitate. He wasn't familiar with the roads here, and his driving skills weren't great.

Plus, his sister had said something, so Du Qian felt he should be cautious. A spirit beast attack? This is just the information ordinary people get. With a sister who is a special agent section chief, just a few words from her, and Du Qian could taste the flavor.

This isn't a natural disaster, it's a human-made one.

"What should I call you, brother?"

"Wei Wei."

"Brother Wei, how much damage?"

"Significant. Over a thousand buildings were destroyed, and the number of casualties hasn't been reported yet, but it should be no less than a thousand."

"What is so powerful?"

"A spirit fox, a divine master-level spirit fox."

Spirit beasts are not special breeds. In ancient times, they were all wild animals. Through generations, they continuously absorb spiritual energy. Some wild animals are born at the spirit beast level, like the lightning spider Du Qian encountered before.

Spirit beasts originate from wild animals, so even the most powerful spirit beasts look similar to their original forms. The difference lies in their internal structure.

"Brother Wei, the scheduled ship I returned on had an accident, and some people are trapped in the desert. Should we send people from Pingchuan City?" Du Qian asked. He felt guilty about those dozens of people. Surviving from the mouth of a young lightning spider was lucky, but dying from the sun would make their previous efforts in vain.

"What? The scheduled ship you returned on had an accident? Was it attacked by a spirit beast?" Wei Wei was shocked. Pingchuan City is an inland city, close to the sea, and the routes are familiar. It hasn't had an accident for many years.

"Yes, it was a lightning spider. Here are the coordinates." Du Qian said, handing a piece of paper with the coordinates to Wei Wei. He had asked the pilot for the coordinates, which he had learned a bit about in school but never used in real life.

"Okay, I'll report it. Your return means there must be a high-level person on the ship." Wei Wei's reaction was quick.

He glanced at the coordinates and mentally calculated: "Just send a low-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. This position is closer to Lvyang. I believe they have also received the message."

Wei Wei knew that reporting or not wouldn't make a difference. By now, the higher-ups might have already received the message. Pingchuan just suffered an attack, and although the damage wasn't significant, the city lord didn't have the mood to deal with this. The military sending two low-altitude reconnaissance aircraft would be enough, and they could bring food and water. If there's a problem, they can airdrop supplies to help them hold on a bit longer.

The kinetic car drove into Pingchuan City. Du Qian looked at the buildings around him and finally felt relieved. It seemed the spirit fox only caused minor damage to the city's outskirts, and the city center was almost unchanged.

At the Flying Tiger Team's gate, Fei Xue was already waiting. Du Qian didn't know how Wei Wei contacted Fei, and he didn't see him make any phone calls on the way.

"Did you get it?" Fei Xue's eyes were bloodshot, indicating he hadn't rested for days.

Actually, for a combat master with over a million combat strength, a few days without rest is no big deal. Even continuous work for a month wouldn't be a problem.

But this time, it was a spirit beast attack, and behind it was the shadow of the Republic of Biantian. The body might not be tired, but the mind is.

"Yes, I got it."

"You're amazing, come with me quickly." Saying this, he jumped into the car. Without needing to be told, Wei Wei drove at high speed, turning a few corners to reach the Flying Tiger Team's leisure building.

The leisure building is a nickname given by the Flying Tiger Team. It combines leisure, rest, and medical care, but its utilization rate is not high. The Flying Tiger Team is not a leisure job, and the members' time is tight. Where do they have time to come here?

On the third floor, in the intensive care unit, Yao Jing lay quietly on the bed, the white sheets and her pale face. After a few days, Du Qian felt Yao Jing had lost a lot of weight. Intravenous fluids can supplement her nutrition, but the loss of vitality over time can lead to bone calcification, blood vessel constriction, muscle atrophy, and even bedsores.

These issues cannot be avoided by ordinary medical means. They can only be alleviated through human care, such as frequent turning, regular warm water baths, and exposure to sunlight.

After all, only a living person can have vitality. In Yao Jing's case, it's somewhat similar to a vegetative state, except for the continuous damage to her internal organs.

Fortunately, there is the sealing charm. Its effect is not as magical as it seems. It's like freezing, sealing all the energy in Yao Jing's body to achieve a preservative effect.

It's easy to imagine that frozen meat will deteriorate, and the body after being sealed will not improve either.

"Captain, I'll go to the toilet and be right back." Du Qian said, turning to leave. Such a precious sealing charm naturally needs to be hidden in a winter melon, making it inconvenient to retrieve. This thing cannot be seen by others.
