The Post Sky Tipping Era

However, the next moment,

Ning Wu's figure suddenly froze.

"This distance exceeds the range of vision, doesn't it? Thinking of chasing to kill? As if I don't exist?"

Wang Jian intercepted Ning Wu, and the two briefly clasped hands.

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out, stirring up a cloud of dust around.

Ning Wu staggered backward, the sleeve on her arm shredding into several pieces, leaving a bruise on her pale skin.

"You..." Ning Wu glared furiously, burning with anger.

"I'll go after her," Crow said.

But as he was about to move, a red dot appeared on his body, and a strong sense of danger locked onto him.

"Try it and see whether your legs are faster, or the bullets from my sniper over here," Wang Jian said, giving Crow a glance.

Crow dared not act rashly, simply standing there with a dark expression on his face.

Even though he had cultivated, he was still human, and getting shot could kill him.

"Bang!"

Another sound of a window breaking echoed.

Li Yi appeared; he was in disarray but was, at least, alive as he left the building.

"Li Yi, stop, don't try to run. Did you get the thing in your hand from there? Place it at your feet, and I'll give you two million afterward," Crow called out.

"Transfer the money to me now, and I'll put the thing down immediately," Li Yi paused and replied as he turned around.

Crow said, "I can't transfer the money to you right now. You'll get your share after this matter is over."

"No money, no talk. Do you think I'm stupid? You're clearly not planning to pay, yet you want the item and even thinking of killing me to keep me quiet," Li Yi retorted and turned to run.

He had just realized that Investigator Wang Jian was in a standoff with Crow and his people.

No wonder the dangerous woman who had activated Spirit Medium did not stop Wang Hu when he was running away earlier.

Seeing Li Yi escape, Crow was so furious that he wanted to kill, knowing that these two might have taken something possibly a Mysterious Object.

"These guys care about money more than their lives; I shouldn't have involved them from the start."

However, right after Li Yi left, Wei Li also escaped from another place in the building. He was injured and in bad shape but had managed to survive.

Yet, when he saw the two fleeing figures and the body of Liu Yan bleeding from seven orifices on the ground, he fell silent for a moment.

He then frantically ran in a different direction.

Seeing the last person also taking something and running away, it wasn't just Crow who wanted to kill in rage; Ning Wu was so furious she almost coughed up blood.

"Wang Jian, let me catch those people. I need to retrieve something that belongs to me. Then I can go back with you to assist with the investigation, how about that? I can assure you that I won't harm them," she pleaded urgently, feeling like the duck in hand had just flown away.

But she dared not mention the matter about the Mysterious Object, lest it draw not just one investigator like Wang Jian, but attract the attention of all the cultivators in Tianchang City.

"They are victims, and they are ordinary people. It's best to let them leave. Although I don't know what they took, it's not important to me. My responsibility is to keep the two of you here," Wang Jian flatly refused Ning Wu's suggestion.

"Wang Jian, you'll regret this," Ning Wu said through clenched teeth, only able to watch helplessly as the three people disappeared from her sight.

"We'll just have to find them later."

"Are you going to come with me to be investigated, or will you keep resisting? Choose one," Wang Jian demanded.

Ning Wu closed her eyes to calm down for a moment before saying, "I will go back with you to assist the investigation, but before that, I need to make a phone call."

"That's fine, as long as you don't resist," said Wang Jian.

Although he was confident he could take down the person before him, he didn't want to engage in a fight with these vicious thugs.
