Chapter 629: Chapter 629: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes_1

"Ah, what a hassle, being targeted by these annoying guys again."

At this very moment, on a slope behind Ming Liang Village, a young man dressed in denim, his pant legs and sleeves smeared with paint, sat sullenly on a rock, looking towards the location of Ming Liang Village.

"Are Li Muyun’s people fucking dogs or something? No matter where I go, they follow me, ruining my carefully planned schemes every time."

As he spoke, the young man vigorously scratched his head: "It’s such a headache. That little thing is still in my belly and hasn’t come out yet, just a day or two away. If the task isn’t completed, the Saintess will definitely turn me into human sashimi..."

"Hm!?"

The young man was startled!

His nerves tensed in an instant, goosebumps standing on end, and an unprecedented sense of acute danger overwhelmed him!

"Damn, I’ve been spotted!"

Just as the young man exclaimed in alarm, at least several hundred meters away in the grain drying yard of Ming Liang Village, your gaze locked onto a spot on the back hill.

At that moment, the corners of your mouth curled up into a pleasing arc—"Found you."

"All Forms of Sen Luo, flew!"

Your sight raced forward in a straight line, like a supercar, quickly bringing the young man’s figure into view.

The young man appeared rather nervous at this time, his body constantly retreating. Behind him was a fairly flat grassland, and at the end of the grassland was a hill. The hill jutted out abruptly, extending all the way to the cliff, where there was a cave entrance about the height of a person.

As the young man retreated, a cryptic ripple suddenly emanated from the cave.

"Hm!?" The young man froze, then his face lit up with joy. "It’s finally appeared!"

With that, he turned and sprinted toward the cave.

"Not good!"

You withdrew your gaze and without a second word, you immediately sprinted towards the back hill! While running, you also picked up your phone: "Madman, you and Little Kai lead the special police and follow me, I’ve found the perpetrator!"

"Got it!"

On the other end, Xiao Feng, having received your call, quickly turned to Ding Xiaofeng and said, "Captain Ding, we’ve found the suspect. Old Shu is on his way here, bring some people and follow us."

Xiao Feng paused, then added, "Better bring heavy weaponry. I have a feeling that we might have a tough fight ahead!"

As Captain Ding relayed orders through his walkie-talkie, you had already charged out of the alley, and Zhao’er, from beginning to end, followed closely behind you, at ease, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

"Old Shu, who is this guy?"

Seeing you emerging with a serious expression, Xiao Feng hurried to meet you.

"A young man, looks about our age. That guy’s bad news. Plus, I think he’s definitely involved with the Corpse Puppet Gu. He’s already spotted me just now and is currently rushing to a cave."

"A cave?"

"Yeah, according to the village chief, there’s an ancient tomb from the Pre-Qin Period on their back hill. That cave was recently dug out, probably by that kid. It should lead to the ancient tomb."

"You mean, that kid is using the ancient tomb to nurture the Corpse Puppet Gu?"

"Quite likely. Let’s hurry, we absolutely can’t let him escape!"

"Got it!"

You, Xiao Feng, and Yang Kai ran a few steps and looked back to find that Wu Qiyi had followed. You immediately said to Wu Qiyi, "Er Ya, you girls wait for us in the village."

"No way, I’m worried." Nie Ying’s attitude was somewhat assertive, clearly concerned about Yang Kai.

After a moment of thought, Wu Qiyi couldn’t help but sigh with a smile, gently like the spring breeze, "Alright, but you have to promise me, don’t be too impulsive, and come back unharmed."

"Mhm!"

Nodding earnestly, you turned and sprinted ahead, swiftly leaping onto a two-meter-high earthen ridge.

No sooner had you touched down than a familiar figure promptly followed suit.

Seeing her, you sounded a bit annoyed, "I said you crazy woman, why don’t you listen when someone tells you to stay put? Just stay put!"

Xian Qianling had already planned her strategy, simply stating, "I’m a criminal police officer."

Knowing this crazy woman’s strong sense of duty and understanding that arguing with her at this time was pointless, you glared at her and, seeing that Xiao Feng and the others had caught up, you took the lead and sprinted down the winding mountain trail ahead.

You were understandably anxious, after all, someone who could craft the Corpse Puppet Gu and was still so young was certainly an exceedingly dangerous individual. His existence was a great bane to both you and the ordinary people; he had to be eliminated!

Seeing with eyes and running with legs covered very different distances, especially on the winding mountain path overgrown with vegetation. By the time the group reached the valley, everyone was panting heavily.

"Old Shu, there’s someone over there!"

Accompanied by Yang Kai’s shout, a young man smeared with paint walked out of a cave holding a wine jar.

Different from his earlier frustration and panic, the young man’s face now appeared very composed, even with a hint of a smile.

"I’ve long heard of Lingyi Detective Agency Chairman Li’s great reputation, and today’s meeting really is extraordinary." The young man said cheerfully while looking at you.

"Who are you?" Xiao Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Just a nobody, someone who does menial work and runs errands." The young man chuckled, "What are you guys doing, all panting like this?"

"Kid, did you make those Corpse Puppet Gu?" Yang Kai, with evident irritation on his face, pressed the young man.

"What if I did, and what if I didn’t?"

"Don’t care if you did or didn’t, let’s just catch him and beat him up first!" Yang Kai wanted to step forward but was pulled back by you.

"Anyone who can craft the Corpse Puppet Gu is definitely not ordinary. We have the advantage in numbers now, and if we can just trap him, we can use the Fatigue Enemy Strategy. Once he buckles under, everything will be easy to resolve."

Xiao Feng and Yang Kai exchanged glances and nodded, spreading out in a semi-circle to encircle the young man.

Even though he was surrounded and the armed men like Ding Xiaofeng had their guns pointed at his chest, the young man’s demeanor didn’t change, "Oh! A big organization like yours and the Armed Police Elite Unit going up against a defenseless art student like me, aren’t you ashamed?"

"Cut the crap! If you don’t want a beating, just surrender!"

The young man raised his eyebrows, an eerie smile spreading across his face, "I say, Chairman Li, I don’t think it’s wise for you to waste time with me right now."

"What do you mean?"

As your voice deepened, your expression grew icier.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath the feet of the group shook violently!
