"Puchi—"
Jun Wuyou, dazed by Duan Chen's punch, spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing the sound, his anger causing him to pass out.
"As expected of you."
Jun Ci didn't know if he was referring to Duan Chen or Tu Feiyuan.
"Haha, naturally!"
Tu Feiyuan took Jun Ci's words as praise.
The others listened in stunned silence.
"This cat... is quite spirited."
Seeing Jun Wuyou's miserable state, Qin Wuji no longer dared to offend Duan Chen, nor did he dare to say anything to Jun Ci or Qin Nanyuan. He could only force a smile.
After all, he was from the Qin family. Even if his relationship with the Jun family was good, it was only on the surface. If the Jun family fell, he wouldn't continue to associate with them.
"Duan Chen, is it true that Jun Wuchen betrayed the Spirit Hunter Guild?" Yang Jian walked over and asked sternly.
"This is true, and this so-called secret realm is not a secret realm at all, but a large-scale anomaly!"
"Yes, we've discovered that over these past few days."
Yang Jian gave a wry smile.
"You've worked hard," Duan Chen said with a smile, taking out a bag of compressed biscuits from his pocket and handing it to him.
"I came in a hurry and only brought this. Make do with it."
"Okay!"
Yang Jian didn't hesitate, tearing it open and eating.
"Who is he..." Qin Youran asked curiously.
"Duan Chen. Our captain," Qin Nanyuan introduced.
"That's not right."
Qin Youran shook her head, her gaze becoming increasingly strange.
"Hm?"
Duan Chen tilted his head to look at her.
"You're not Duan Chen. Your original name wasn't this," Qin Youran's gaze shifted from confusion to sudden certainty.
Duan Chen's heart trembled.
As Qin Youran spoke, a familiar and natural feeling surged within him.
It was as if... he really wasn't called Duan Chen.
This was completely wrong.
"Sister Youran, what are you talking about?" Qin Nanyuan pouted, not taking her words to heart.
Duan Chen, however, silently remembered Qin Youran's name and face.
This girl might know something.
"Next, can we leave now?"
Jun Youguang looked at Duan Chen.
At the same time, many eyes gathered on him, filled with curiosity and appraisal.
Duan Chen remained unfazed.
"Mm, let's go."
"Wait, where's Jun Wuyou...?"
Startled by Duan Chen's gaze, Qin Wuji took a step back and said softly.
"Pick him up, we're leaving," Qin Youran said calmly, having received a signal from Qin Youliang.
"Yes!"
Qin Wuji felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He grumbled inwardly, no longer daring to make any eye contact with Duan Chen.
This guy's eyes were terrifying.
"Miss Qin, what is your ability?"
Duan Chen, with his hands in his pockets, leaned closer to Qin Youran and asked in a low voice.
Asking about someone's ability so directly was somewhat impolite, but Qin Youran didn't seem to mind. She smiled gently but didn't answer.
"Don't ask. If you ask, the answer is we don't know."
Qin Youliang patted Duan Chen's shoulder and chuckled.
"You don't know?"
"Yes, Youran herself isn't clear about it either."
This was strange. If she didn't know what her ability was, how could she use spiritual energy and manifest it?
"My ability has been with me since birth. I'm not sure what exactly it is."
"Duan Chen, do you hit on every woman you see?" Tian Qi quipped mercilessly.
"Not necessarily."
Duan Chen shot her a glance.
"For example, you. I have no desire to 'hit on' you."
"Scram!"
Duan Chen blocked the incoming water projectile and flicked the water from his hand.
"Is she a sea creature?" Jun Youguang raised an eyebrow.
Many of the agents also became wary.
"Yes, she's my sea creature. Don't worry, she's absolutely safe."
Duan Chen's words were domineering, and due to his strength, no one dared to voice their displeasure. Most of them quietly closed their mouths.
He had left Jia Yunlian, Hill, and Du Qingyi to guard the coordinate point. From a distance, he saw Jia Yunlian holding a blood vine whip, Hill sitting on the ground listlessly, and Du Qingyi eating a lollipop.
It seemed peaceful enough.
Duan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is everyone here?"
Du Qingyi's name carried considerable weight among these people. Seeing her present, the agents had no further doubts about Jun Wuchen's betrayal.
However, the Guild Master of the Spirit Hunter Guild colluding with Apostles...
It was truly hard to accept.
Once they were out, the entire capital would likely face an earthquake.
At that time, all the families in the capital would be reshuffled.
And how the Yan family of the Yan people would be "washed" would depend entirely on that man.
Duan Chen.
She frowned, harboring a hidden worry.
"Miss Yan?" Qin Youran called out.
"Hm?" Yan Qiuren replied absentmindedly.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
She was taken aback.
"Thank you."
"Hill."
"Yes, I'll handle it, Wilbenya."
"Alright, Young Madam... Oh right, I've set your exit coordinates to an interesting location."
Duan Chen was taken aback.
An interesting location?
Wilbenya on the other side of the screen revealed a sly smile.
"Yes, a very convenient place."
Before he could ask, a flash of white light appeared, and all the agents vanished from their spots.
At the same time, the crystal ball in Yan Qiuren's arms shattered into powder, leaving only a sphere of light in her hand.
The capital, outskirts.
Duan Chen looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him, feeling bewildered.
"Where is this?"
"This is the outskirts of the capital. She probably teleported us here because Jun Wuchen is here."
"Uncle Guang? How do you know?"
Jun Youguang showed the bracelet on his wrist. It was flashing with light.
"If it senses the spiritual energy of our own people, it will emit light."
Qin Youliang smiled. He also had one on his hand. Inside the secret realm, it was by sensing Qin Youran's spiritual energy that he had found many agents.
"From now on, you just need to follow me."
Jun Youguang had already decided that upon meeting Jun Wuchen, he would first beat him up to vent his years of resentment, and then send him to the Spirit Hunter Prison for him to experience.
He believed Jun Wuchen would enjoy the environment there.
Jun Ci shivered.
"Why do I feel... Uncle Guang is smiling a little wickedly?"
Qin Youliang chuckled, "Oh, you're overthinking it. Guang is just, upright and kind. He's surely thinking of educating Jun Wuchen properly, lest this kid goes too far astray."
"Sister Youran, is that right?"
Jun Ci's mouth twitched. He felt that Qin Youliang's words had hidden meanings and that he was definitely plotting something.
"Ah?"
Qin Youran smiled charmingly.
"Uncle is right. Uncle Guang is so kind. I'm afraid he'll get bullied outside."
"Heh, yes, yes."
Jun Ci shivered all over.
Would Jun Wuchen be beaten to death by Jun Youguang?
