Chapter 809: Chapter 54: This Kind of Person

Xiang Shan thought that the reason the Six Dragons Sect came looking for that bastard Li Zheyuan might not just be a coincidence. There’s at least a fifty percent chance they came because of the leads discovered by Jeanne.

Of course, it’s also possible for other reasons, like they targeted all drug sellers and discovered that the drugs sold by certain merchants had unique ingredients, leading them to this point — they didn’t know if it was Li Zheyuan, but as long as there was skill, they wanted it.

These reasons are more or less the same.

For Jeanne, this is a terrible situation. It means that her endeavor to kidnap Li Zheyuan has suddenly gained many competitors.

She must be faster than the Six Dragons Sect.

But the battle with the magnetic chain weapon user turned into an "unexpected blessing" in this regards.

Tumor Xiang Shan wrapped a steel rod with nano-conductor wires, using the rod to shatter the opponent’s moves. The nano-wires wound around the magnetic chain weapon, cutting into it with its movement; its conductivity caused the weapon to go out of control, ultimately affecting the entire Martial Arts School area.

This will likely alert the officials of City of Ur.

And that bastard Li Zheyuan will most likely choose to hide.

Being able to live until today, hated by both protectors and heroes, Li Zheyuan has at least this level of caution.

This effectively forces the Six Dragons Sect team into the open and places the target they are competing for in the dark.

Next, all that’s needed is a force to hold back the most formidable One Layer Heaven Martial Artist on the Six Dragons Sect’s side.

Just need to delay for a short while.

What Jeanne needs to do is to make use of this "short while" to forcibly take Li Zheyuan away.

Jeanne said: "I just feel, this will further expose our presence, making the Six Dragons Sect take us more seriously..."

"This piece of intelligence will only become less valuable, right?" Tumor Xiang Shan said, "Although the Six Dragons Sect has existed for a long time, perhaps... I’m just saying perhaps... they might have become increasingly unscrupulous recently?"

"Why?"

"Because they are getting close... to a certain goal?" Tumor Xiang Shan was uncertain, "It’s just a guess."

"I thought you definitely knew something."

"Don’t be silly. The Six Dragons Sect didn’t exist in the era of Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan. All the memories I have that aren’t ’Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan’ are shared with you." Xiang Shan said, "Focus on your own goal."

Jeanne turned a corner, pushed aside a stack of iron crates and metal sheets, and emerged from the alley.

A few steps ahead was a bustling area.

At this moment, Tumor Xiang Shan suddenly said: "My girl, I’m very pleased. You’ve made great progress."

Jeanne stopped her steps, "What do you want to say?"

"I forgot to mention earlier. You’ve been progressing greatly. You now actually think about whether ’this might be harming others’ and feel ashamed and guilty for it."

"Even when escaping. When you fled from that Six Dragons Sect protector far stronger than yourself, you didn’t think at all about using bystanders to block attacks or counterattack with bystanders."

Jeanne knocked on her head, "Old man, your nerve cells are the same size as mine; there’s no reason for you to be getting senile. Ten years ago, you told me that if I dared to use civilians as bait, you’d shoot me in the head for mutual destruction."

"Ah, right, I remember. But there’s a difference between ’I don’t let you do it’ and ’you didn’t think of doing it.’ Not to mention, now you even worry about ’whether it’s harming others.’ That’s a good thing. You’re already a good person."

After saying this, Tumor Xiang Shan stopped talking.

Jeanne still wanted to say something to Tumor Xiang Shan, but then she heard Asgard’s displeased voice, "What madness are you spouting now?"

Jeanne looked up and saw that Asgard had been waiting nearby. Seeing her come out at the end of the street, she approached. Jeanne said, "It’s nothing. How about you?"

"I spread the ’Gu’ as you instructed." Asgard sighed, "Are you sure this is really safe? That legendary figure might live nearby..."

Jeanne didn’t know how to explain this. In her mind, there was always a voice that confidently assured her there was no problem. The intense emotion from the other side even made her feel embarrassed to mention another legend, that "the great figure in the ’Turing’ realm is quite possibly extremely averse to the Martial God."

—Forget it... let’s just leave it at that...

Jeanne said, "I think maybe we won’t be noticed, we are just collecting some ordinary visual intelligence."

"But what you’re looking for is... something many mythical figures loathe." Asgard even unconsciously lowered her voice, "Are you sure it’s feasible? He’s survived so many years, he must be a bit... cautious, right?"

Jeanne knew this couldn’t be explained.

Tumor Xiang Shan’s approach was actually quite simple and crude, using the extraordinary ability of the Internal Martial Artist in "Acting Analysis" and "Personality Profiling" to leverage visual intelligence and forcibly identify people similar to Li Zheyuan in the crowd.

The only requirement for this method is to "sufficiently understand Li Zheyuan as a person."

Li Zheyuan was born in the same era as Xiang Shan. All his relatives died in multiple wars and upheavals, leaving only a few people who now loathe him, who once considered him a friend, still remembering him.

The Six Dragons Sect might have also used this method to pinpoint Li Zheyuan.

Tumor Xiang Shan found that, whatever else could be said about the Six Dragons Sect, they had certainly studied Xiang Shan’s memories in depth.

They could even use specific memory segments of Xiang Shan to instill cultural attributes like "loyalty to the organization," "strive forward" into their subordinates.

It could only be said that they were very professional when it came to pulling out-of-context citations.

If that’s the case, it would theoretically be feasible to temporarily create a memory plugin, extract some aspects of Li Zheyuan and concentrate them, making an "Li Zheyuan Identification Assistive Device" that is plug-and-play.

But this couldn’t be explained in detail to Asgard.

Based on his understanding of Li Zheyuan, Xiang Shan believed he definitely wouldn’t risk leaving the Space City under these circumstances. He would certainly disguise himself and hide among the crowd.

Theoretically, an even safer place at this time would be to send his brain to the collective hibernation zone.

At this point, unless gene sampling or brain-machine interface pattern recognition was used, no one could tell who was who.

But Xiang Shan didn’t think Li Zheyuan had the guts for that either.

First, because that would mean publicly revealing his gene information and brain-machine interface patterns to the officials of City of Ur. As an Alpha generation Benchmark Man, Li Zheyuan wouldn’t dare casually disclose his gene information, even if the officials of City of Ur might not have the ability to verify it.

Second, he would be even less willing to lose the legs he used for escaping.

Even if his legs were useless in front of thrusters.

He is just that kind of person.
