Chapter 74: Why Is The Situation Getting Stranger?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It seemed that something serious had happened.

Lu Ming looked solemn.

He took a closer look. Zhang Wei was seldom seen around this place, but he had made seven to eight rounds around this area, and he seemed like he would keep patrolling this place.

“What has happened?”

He motioned for Zhang Wei who passed by to come into the shop.

“What else could it be?”

Zhang Wei lowered his voice. “I heard that the highly skilled thief ‘Cloud Explorer’ is here in Qing Ming City, right in our city. All the police have been dispatched.”

“Cloud Explorer?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

He heard that the four-star and above cultivator was a highly skilled thief!

Why would such a highly skilled thief be in their city??

What could he be stealing?

“That’s right.”

Zhang Wei whispered. “A few days ago, a four-star powerful cultivator who lives in seclusion in the suburbs had his house broken into. He made the police report personally. Don’t you think it’s scary?”

“Look, in general, big shots would deal with this kind of problem by themselves!”

“After all, they are the most powerful of all.”

“But now...”

“What does it take for a four-star big shot to make a police report regardless of his status? He must be very furious.”

Zhang Wei expressed his surprise.

Obviously...

The big shot wanted to make use of the police force to help him to track down his target.

But that was already very scary.

“In the suburbs...”

Lu Ming felt that there was something amiss, this story sounded very familiar.

“Southern suburbs?”

Lu Ming asked automatically.

“That’s right, have you heard of it as well?”

Zhang Wei continued. “Initially, a few lads created trouble for him... and he dealt with them by himself. But the strange thing was that after he left and set up several layers of protection, someone actually stole things from his house! Without anyone noticing! The defenses were left untouched!”

“Don’t you think that person is very formidable? He was a four-star cultivator! Think about it— The person must be very capable to avoid all the barriers set up by the four-star cultivator and to enter the house. The Cloud Explorer seemed to be the only person capable of that.”

Zhang Wei was in awe.

“That’s right.”

Lu Ming smiled wryly.

To hell with the prohibitions!

He did not trigger the prohibitions not because he was very powerful. It was because he was already inside! He merely walked around the house!

It was useless to set a high security setting.

No one would direct one’s thief alarm system against people inside one’s house.

Cough.

“Well... We are a peripheral city, why are there so many things happening in these two months?”

Zhang Wei felt very puzzled. What happened in these two months was far more than what happened the entire last year!

Look, the mine cave collapsed, the old town was demolished and the four-star cultivator’s house was broken into... Previously, all these would be considered as the biggest cases of the year!

Hehe.

Lu Ming suddenly felt a little guilty.

“Well... Are you hunting down the suspect?” Lu Ming asked.

“Of course not.”

Zhang Wei waved his hands. “We are only in charge of the investigation.”

“The Cloud Explorer might be powerful, but the cultivator that he provoked this time contacted several other powerful cultivators and they’re all ready to join hands to take him down.”

Zhang Wei was excited.

After all, he was only a three-star cultivator.

Four-star battle?

He had never seen one before!

Buzz—

Zhang Wei’s phone rang.

“Who is that?”

“Has the target been located?”

“Hurry, inform the chief. Let’s go.”

“The target is very powerful. We will only be in charge of the investigation. Never engage in combat with him. Leave all this to the superiors.”

Zhang Wei was burning with anxiety.

Obviously...

They had located the so-called Cloud Explorer.

“Uh...”

Lu Ming was speechless as he looked at his back.

What else could he say?

He could only observe a moment of silence for the “Cloud Explorer”.

Brother!

I really didn’t mean it!

You have to blame it on the damn black cat!

Well...

Initially, Lu Ming was thinking of going out to purchase some information. But he dared not go out after what Zhang Wei told him.

Forget it.

Maybe tomorrow.

Since Qing Ming City was in a state of unrest today, as a lawful citizen, he must not add any more trouble to it.

...

It was very late at night.

In Qing Ming City.

Leisure Hotel.

As the most popular hotel among the local young people, it would be fully packed even at one o’clock in the morning. Many people would go to this place to stay for the night.

However...

No one would have thought that something would happen there.

In the dead of the night, a group of police officers rushed in, startling numerous couples who were having fun in the hotel rooms.

“Police?”

“Damn, why are they here?”

“We will be fined five thousand yuan if caught. Run!”

Many people were in a panic.

However, what was surprising was that the police ignored them and dashed straight to one of the rooms, directly opening the door.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

The door and windows burst.

A figure leaped out from the sixth floor, disappearing into the night.

“He has run away!”

“Lock in on his aura! Chase him!”

Bang!

The figure exploded.

Powerful energy surged. There were three different kinds of four-star energy surging in the air!

“Damn it!”

The figure that was on the run gritted his teeth.

Four-star cultivator!

Why would a four-star cultivator chase after him?

He could not have made a mistake!

The person who broke the windows and fled was none other than Chu Xiao, the Cloud Explorer.

Under normal circumstances, after completing his mission, he would go to an unrelated city and have some fun with the ladies.

Well...

If anything went wrong, he would be able to escape.

The reason why he chose Qing Ming City was because his friend asked a small favor of him. He did not expect that he would be caught in a vice operation!

At the very least, that was what he thought initially...

He thought differently when a group of four-star cultivators appeared and he was almost killed on the spot!

If he was not adept at hiding and fleeing, he would have been dead!

Damn it!

What the hell was going on?

Chu Xiao was perplexed.

Could it be that he provoked people in his previous mission?

Impossible!

He had made many detours along the way. Even if someone from that city hunted him down all the way here, he would have noticed something amiss!

Furthermore...

He was smart, he would never provoke the powerful cultivators!

He would not rob the rich to help the poor.

There was simply no way of him doing that.

Therefore...

He was able to survive till now.

“Who could it be?”

He was puzzled.

Swoosh!

There was a burst of icy cold frost.

The group was after him again!

“Damn it!”

Chu Xiao’s face turned pale, he had to continue to run for his life.

...

The next day.

Early morning.

Lu Ming opened the shop early in the morning.

“Teacher, breakfast~”

Xiaobai put the food on the table.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming looked through the morning news.

The first news was that something happened to the Leisure Hotel on San Li Street.

Lu Ming had no need to read the details and he knew that it must have to do with Zhang Wei. But from the looks of it, the Cloud Explorer had escaped. Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately...

As long as the Cloud Explorer was not being captured, no one would know that the culprit was someone else.

The second news was that when the police raided the hotel yesterday, many couples were alarmed.

They fled from the room and discovered to their surprise that their friends, relatives, girlfriends, close friends and husbands were coming out from other rooms...

Well, it was very lively.

He heard that there was a long queue of people filing for divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau today.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

He supposed that this had nothing to do with him.

That afternoon.

The shop ran out of blank cards.

Lu Ming went out as usual to buy some reading materials and a batch of blank cards.

However...

There was a crowd when he passed by the Leisure Hotel at San Li Street.

Lu Ming was surprised to find that the shining sign of the hotel turned into a bright green color, and it seemed to be mysterious as if a ritual was going on.

The men and women at the hotel entrance were still fighting with each other.

“I treated you as my brother, how dare you go to bed with my husband!”

“We are merely going dutch!”

“Damn you!”

Crash!

Crash!

People quarreled and fought at the entrance. Several couples were engaged in a tussle. The security was embarrassed to stop them and could only put on a straight face, pretending not to have seen them.

“They have been here since the middle of the night, and stopping people from booking rooms!”

“Why didn’t the police do anything about it?”

“I suppose the truth was very hurtful. I heard that some of the police saw their wives among those people who came running out of the rooms in fright... I don’t think there will be any peace for now.”

“Psst—it’s that terrible!”

“Of course.”

A few of them chatted while watching the fun. Lu Ming could not help but be terrified by their words.

Goodness!

It seemed that something serious had happened.

→_→

Lu Ming looked from afar and left quickly.

He only took a bell and a Charging Card, why did things turn to be so serious?

He had sinned!

This...

This should have nothing to do with him, right?
