Chapter 936: Mo Lan's Trail
With this system upgrade, the expanded regional channel area may be able to cover Qin Liangyu. In addition, the whereabouts of Mo Lan also need to be put on the agenda.
The riots in Philadelphia were quickly quelled, but this was not due to the efforts of Philadelphia's powerful figures; rather, the mutated beings left Philadelphia on their own.
Chen Futu is probably related to the evil corpse. Qin Liangyu's evil corpse still retains the ability to control mutated beings. It's just unclear what she will do next. Hopefully, she will stop indiscriminately slaughtering ordinary people and further polluting this heavenly world.
Three days later, Wen Jie came to visit. His injuries had almost healed, and he brought several large boxes of high-level crystal cores, worth a total of sixty to seventy million. Combined with what Chen Futu had accumulated, it was enough for the system to level up again.
"System upgrade begins, one month in advance."
"I hope you don't fail to upgrade."
Despite his complaints, Chen Futu was still full of anticipation for this system upgrade.
In addition, Wenjie brought some news, one of which was about the casualties in Philadelphia, where nearly 60% of the people died.
Chen Futu sighed, "I won't say anything more. In the end, it was my wife who was being controlled. I was able to find her so quickly thanks to you. If you have any requests, just let me know."
Wen Jie said, "Philadelphia was almost ravaged, and too many people died. I plan to relocate with the remaining people. What Brother Chen said before about leaving the Chaotic Western City to us, does that still count?"
"It counts."
Chen Futu valued Wen Jie quite a bit. If he led people to move into the Luanjie Mountain area, they could start building a real place to live.
"Alright, thank you for your care, Brother Chen. I will make arrangements to take everything that can be taken with me."
As Wen Jie spoke, he seemed to remember something, and his expression darkened slightly. "I've found out where Mo Lan is."
"really!"
Chen Futu stood up abruptly.
Although Mo Lan's relationship with him was not particularly close, she was nominally one of his concubines, and she had entered the Northern Frontier Royal Court before the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he could not simply ignore her.
Wen Jie said seriously, "My people found out that she was sent to the auction house three days ago, and was later bought by someone. She then ended up in an organization called the Soul Rift Group in the outer city."
"The Soul Rift Gang? I see."
Chen Futu's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and Wen Jie hesitated to speak.
Chen Futu said, "You don't need to say anything. I won't let anyone who is involved go."
"Brother Chen, what I want to say is that Miss Mo Lan's situation might not be good. The Soul Splitter Gang is notorious, they..."
Wen Jie couldn't continue speaking.
The Soul Rift Gang is one of the most notorious forces in the outer city. Relying on their large numbers and the backing of three seventh-tier experts, they commit all sorts of evil deeds. However, they have not affected the inner city, so the city lord will not interfere.
Chen Futu asked in a sinister tone, "Who is the auction house in the inner city, and who captured Mo Lan and brought her to the auction house?"
“I have brought the person in charge of the auction house to Brother Chen.”
Wenjie clapped his hands, and a legion escorted in a portly man.
The man knelt on the ground with a thud, his fat head and big ears wailing as he cried to Wen Jie, "Lord City Lord, I'm innocent! I really didn't know anything! I only know that a masked man brought that beautiful woman here and said he'd give her away for free at the auction house."
Wen Jie scolded, "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise no one can protect you!"
"I really didn't know. I was blinded by greed and sold him out of a moment of confusion."
As he spoke, the fat man feigned tears, shedding two drops.
Chen Futu stood up and walked to the man. With just one strike, the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his broken arm and struggling, blood soaking his entire body. He let out a pig-like wail: "If I had known that man was your man, I would never have dared to sell him!"
"Since you know nothing about this, then you might as well die."
Chen Futu kicked out, and a head was kicked off his fat body and onto the street.
The legion members outside were horrified as they watched the enormous head fly out.
The person in charge was a seventh-level expert, yet he was kicked to death!
Chen Futu's combat power has once again refreshed their worldview; he seems to be even stronger than before.
Even Wen Jie was startled. A genuine seventh-level expert couldn't even withstand a single kick from Chen Futu. How many moves could he, an eighth-level expert, withstand? Thinking of this, Wen Jie felt even more awe for Chen Futu.
After dealing with the person in charge, Chen Futu asked, "Are there other people behind this auction house? Are they related to your legion?"
Wen Jie remained silent for a long time before replying with a wry smile, "The auction house was involved by a legion, but both legion commanders died in the previous frenzy attack, so there's no way to verify the facts or find the source."
"They're lucky."
Chen Futu turned and left.
Wen Jie sighed, knowing that Chen Futu had gone to the Soul Rift Gang, and that a frenzied massacre was likely to sweep through the outer city.
A celebration ceremony is being held in the Soul Rift Squad. They lost many members in this frenzy attack, but they also gained a lot, including fifth and sixth-tier crystal cores worth more than five or six million.
"Brother, I heard the losses in the inner city were huge. It's a pity that bastard Wen Jie is still alive, otherwise..."
The faces of the two leaders were etched in intaglio.
The reason the entire outer city was suppressed was because of Wen Jie's presence; the deterrent power of an eighth-tier expert is unimaginable.
"By the way, has the person who was supposed to receive the goods arrived yet?" the chieftain asked.
The subordinate replied, "They arrived today. It's said that an eighth-rank official is here to collect the goods. I wonder what those big shots need so many beautiful women for."
The three leaders grumbled, "Big brother, we can't just hand over all these good-looking guys. Our men are eyeing them. Everyone put in the effort this time, shouldn't we pull one out so we can all have some fun?"
Upon hearing this, the powerful members of the Soul Rift Clan present cheered with joy.
The chieftain gave a wicked smile. "Alright, then let's choose one and have everyone line up one by one."
"Great."
"The Great Leader is truly magnanimous!"
The entire hall grew increasingly excited.
Next, the Grand Commander waved his hand, and a wall slowly rose up. With a heavy mechanical sound, many steel cages were revealed in the dark room inside the wall, imprisoning all kinds of beautiful women, and Mo Lan was among them.
Her eyes were empty and lifeless. She had a Saint-level cultivation in the lower realm, but in the Upper World she was as weak as a crawling insect. Even though she was forcibly raised to the first level by the power of heaven and earth, she still could not change her fate.
"Husband..."
Mo Lan trembled at the thought of Chen Futu.
Does that man still remember her?
Perhaps in His Majesty the Emperor's heart, there are only Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning, and other women are at most just supporting roles. She is not even a supporting role, because she was once the Empress of the Dragon Barbarians and was impure. The Emperor kidnapped her to the Northern Frontier to become a concubine for political reasons. Therefore, even if the Emperor came to the Celestial World, the first person he would look for would definitely be Qin Liangyu.
