Chapter 924: Dumbfounded

After the dance, Yun Yuhan took a step back and gave Ren Baqian a slap.

“Just wait, someone will be coming to interrogate you!” She left the room after finishing this sentence.

He touched his cheek where there was a painful heat. He had fearsome eyes like a tiger, but he instantly suppressed it.

Ren Baqian immediately made his decision after coming up with the idea. All of this was just in exchange for an opportunity.

He might not have the chance to use it, but he didn’t require Yun Yuhan to favor him too much either. It would already be sufficient if it could make her hesitate a little during crucial moments.

In this state of survival, every opportunity must be grasped. There was no telling when it would save his life.

Although opportunities weren’t limited to just this, Ren Baqian felt that he was more talented in this field!

Of course, the premise was that Yun Yuhan wasn’t the type who spoke her mind and also hadn’t had relations with countless men.

If that was the case, he reckoned that he would be swallowed completely. He had never felt that he was smarter than the people of this world.

Well, the aboriginals were an exception.

Fortunately, Ren Baqian had picked up on some details earlier that made him realize that Yun Yuhan was just a paper tiger. This was good news.

She said that someone was coming, and he wondered who it would be.

Could it be Xu Wuming?

How many people were there in this organization? What was the structure of this organization? What was Xu Wuming’s status? What about Yun Yuhan?

Ren Baqian wondered if he would have more opportunities if he were to surrender voluntarily.

He would disappear every seven days, and this was something that couldn’t be changed… He couldn’t fool them for too long either.

The empress would probably be very worried about his disappearance, right?

Ren Baqian was afraid that she would dash straight to the Yun Nation from Lan City… and probably also do some radical things…

He had been too careless. While searching for the culprits, the culprits had already prepared a trap for him to dive straight into.

However, things had progressed too quickly, catching him and his team off guard. Even if he was a little more careful, it would be hard for him to avoid such traps as long as he was still investigating this matter.

Ren Baqian thought about these things and then settled in a corner to rest while waiting for the interrogator to come.

Around half an hour later, he felt an anomaly around him. He opened his eyes and saw a scholar with a long beard sitting in a chair not too far away who was smiling and looking at him.

Another Spirit Wheel expert, he thought to himself.

Since this man could appear in front of him silently while also avoiding detection, he was undoubtedly a Spirit Wheel expert.

“How may I address you?” Ren Baqian nodded his head and asked politely.

“Wen Xiaosheng!” The scholar smiled.

Ren Baqian tried to recall, but he probably hadn’t seen this name on the list of experts. It was another person who wasn’t on the list.

“What’s your motive?”

“Close to what you are thinking.”

“Warriors of love and peace? Striving for world peace?” Ren Baqian smiled.

Wen Xiaosheng’s smile grew a little sluggish. When someone with high self-esteem was evaluated by others like this, there would inevitably be some fluctuations in his heart.

Then, he smiled again. It wasn’t the kind of smile that came from this mood, but the kind that one would give when they thought of something interesting.

“You can say so.” He nodded slowly. “Do you have a Heaven-grade weapon?”

Ren Baqian flipped his palm, and a long silver spear appeared in his hand.

As Wen Xiaosheng examined carefully, an inexplicable glint flashed across his eyes.

“1.9 meters long, gold and silver coloration, and the rain-listening veined pattern on its body. This is definitely Spirit Spear Teng Yue’s Heaven-grade weapon.”

Ren Baqian’s gaze froze. He didn’t even know what the pattern on the spear was, yet this man recognized it with one glance.

Since he had so much knowledge about Teng Yue’s spear, Ren Baqian increasingly suspected that Wen Xiaosheng was part of the group of people who compiled the list of experts.

“I’m curious—why did Teng Yue’s Heaven-grade weapon fall into your hands instead of dissipating?! I heard that he shouted, ‘My spear!’ in grief before he died. It seems that this spear had already fallen into your hands before he died.”

Ren Baqian’s eyes flickered. Wen Xiaosheng actually knew about this as well. At that time, only the aboriginals, some experts from the Jing Tribe, and some commoners were present. He probably could have gotten the information from them.

“Are you really working for the survival of the human race?” Ren Baqian asked instead of answering him.

“That’s right! You really do know! There’s nothing more important than the survival of the entire race. This is righteousness. Unfortunately, there are always some people who like to do stupid things and put the entire race on the verge of destruction!” Wen Xiaosheng saw great pity peering out of Ren Baqian’s gaze.

“And that’s why you continue to kill the future of the human race again and again?” Ren Baqian sneered.

He wanted to disturb the other party’s state of mind, making him doubt and wonder if everything he and his people had done was right. Ren Baqian’s chances of surviving later on would be slightly higher.

“Future? If that future is the destruction of the entire human race… then you are too arrogant. You don’t know what you are facing.”

“We aren’t the only batch of the human race!” Ren Baqian forced a smile with his eyes full of ridicule.

Wen Xiaosheng suddenly froze, his body tensed up, and it was as if a creature had stepped on his tail.

In disbelief, he asked, “What did you say?”

“I said, the humans in this land of exile aren’t the only ones! There were two groups of the human race who escaped back then, and the other group went to the other end of the ocean!”

Ren Baqian replied calmly.

“Do you know what is there in the ocean? If not for your explanation, you would really have given me a shock.” Wen Xiaosheng suddenly laughed after listening to what Ren Baqian said.

“Nothing more than storms and beasts.” In fact, Ren Baqian was just faking through it, but speaking of the ocean, these were all that existed.

“Do you know about submarines? Do you know about armored ships? Do you know about satellite navigation? Do you know about battleships? Do you know what SOD is…” Ren Baqian threw out a bunch of terms that the other party couldn’t understand before finishing calmly, “You are just a group of people with limited horizons and thinking, desperately hiding in your own world while thinking that your mission is to save the entire human race. In fact, you are just a pathetic person who’s afraid of everything.”

He said this with a contemptuous look as if the person in front of him wasn’t a Spirit Wheel expert who could crush him easily, but a stray dog that could be found anywhere.

Wen Xiaosheng didn’t care about Ren Baqian’s expression and simply stared at him, seemingly stunned by the series of unknown terms that were being thrown at him.

“You…”

“That’s right, I’m a forerunner from that land who sailed across the ocean. In fact, it isn’t only me. Over the years, we have sent out dozens of people, each time heading in different directions, looking for ONEPIECE[2.ONEPIECE: a Japanese manga series]. You guys are just a surprise for me.

What we can do is far more than you can imagine.

We can communicate instantly over long distances, all of us can know anything that is happening in our land at any time, and we have weapons that can destroy everything. We have destroyed the Zerg and the Protoss[3.Zerg and Protoss: races from the game StarCraft], and our next goal is to reclaim our homeland.

When I first set foot on this land, I found you, who share the same bloodline as us. I was shocked by your backwardness.

You haven’t had any progress in thousands of years and are even weaker compared to back then.” Ren Baqian’s face was full of pride. He was very proud of the ancestors of the land where he came from.

“As part of the human race, it’s really unthinkable that you have degraded to this extent.” He shook his head slightly with eyes full of pity. “What makes it even harder for me to imagine is that in this land, there is a group of people who think they are righteous, but have actually become cancerous!”

Wen Xiaosheng was completely dumbfounded!
