    Chapter 46 Southwind City is Doomed! [Path of Hunting]

    Yuan Chenyang withdrew his hand as if he had received an electric shock, which made Su Chen thoughtful.

    “Sun Tai, take the men out first, but don’t go far,” he said, his face tense and his voice low. “And don’t contact the outside world. Warn everyone in the building not to go out and not to expose their identities.”

    “Yes!”

    Fatty Sun couldn’t help but look at the Shadow-Hiding Clothes, feeling uneasy, and left with Zhao Xiong and the others.

    “…How did you kill him?” Yuan Chenyang carefully lifted the Shadow-Hiding Clothes. After the full view of the metal box was revealed, his expression became even more serious.

    “Starve him first, then poison him.” Su Chen’s words were concise. He had now transitioned from personal revenge to eradicating evil for the people, so he was naturally righteous.

    “You knew he had problems all along?” Yuan Chenyang knew this kid was cunning, so he added, “I want the truth.”

    “No evidence,” Su Chen said honestly, if there was evidence, he would have been tortured in the Supervision Department long ago.

    Yuan Chenyang shook his head: “If you hadn’t found this thing, you wouldn’t have notified me.”

    Su Chen pondered: “On the surface, there will be no problems. Jiang He has already divorced him.”

    If he hadn’t found this thing, he naturally wouldn’t have notified Yuan Chenyang. But even if someone suspected him of being involved in the deaths of him and Qi Chuan, what then?

    Yuan Chenyang pondered for a moment, then asked, “Whose man do you suspect he is?”

    Su Chen answered without hesitation: “Zhou Xian.”

    Yuan Chenyang was not surprised. He carefully lifted the Shadow-Hiding Clothes, and a golden gleam appeared out of nowhere, exploding on the metal box, and he quickly retreated.

    Su Chen felt a chill, but the metal box remained undamaged.

    “Hmm?” Yuan Chenyang seemed to notice something was off. He cautiously walked forward, carefully stretched out his hand, and picked it up.

    Then, his face suddenly turned ugly, “The parasitic Guiding power inside is gone!”

    Su Chen’s eyes flickered, “What Guiding power? What is this thing?”

    “This is a Guiding, made of meteoric iron. Guides can attach a part of their power to it.” Yuan Chenyang flipped it over and looked at it, his face becoming more and more grim. “Large-scale Guiding sacrifices, summons, and blessings all need to use this as a carrier.”

    “According to my speculation, it should have been infested with Heituo’s power, but it’s actually empty. What exactly did they do in Southwind City!” Yuan Chenyang’s forehead throbbed with veins. “It was still one step too late. Southwind City is going to be destroyed. We should have investigated thoroughly long ago!”

    “Uh…” Su Chen hesitated to speak.

    “Fortunately…” At this point, Yuan Chenyang added with some relief, “This is an empty shell, otherwise I would have had to uphold justice by eliminating him.”

    “What do you mean?” Su Chen, curious, asked.

    “As I said before, your spiritual天赋 makes it extremely easy for these ghosts to favor you. If Heituo’s power was still in there, it would inevitably corrupt you.”

    Yuan Chenyang further explained, “Your professional path would be cut off, and you would become a puppet of the Guiding, losing your mind.”

    “That’s disgusting.” Su Chen looked fearful. It was hard to explain what happened to him.

    “Exactly…” Yuan Chenyang took the opportunity to educate him: “Guides are not good things. Perhaps they can grant your wishes, but it will definitely be in a way that causes you great pain.”

    “So, you must keep your distance from these things.”

    “You can rest assured,” Su Chen nodded solemnly.

    “You should go back first. I’ll handle things here.” Yuan Chenyang waved his hand.

    Downstairs, after a brief greeting with Fatty Sun, the two walked a short distance away and asked in a low voice, “Brother Sun, do you have any convenient way to identify Guiding believers?”

    Fatty Sun hesitated, then shook his head and said, “As far as I know, there isn’t. Some guys are just elementary believers, with strong self-will, and you can’t tell anything from their usual behavior.”

    “Some don’t even believe in Guides at all, they’re just driven by profit, making it even harder to investigate. Anyway, in Southwind, it’s hard to find any means.”

    Su Chen pondered, if that’s the case, prey would be difficult to find.

    Waving goodbye to the crowd, Su Chen left the place.

    “Imprisonment, poisoning, stalking, and killing, and it’s all fine,” Han Da said enviously.

    “Shut up.” Fatty Sun scolded, his expression dark: “If you dare to speak about what happened tonight, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

    … In the room, Yuan Chenyang glanced at Qi Chuan’s corpse, walked to the window, opened his smart bracelet, and dialed a contact.

    “Old Yuan?” An old voice came from the smart bracelet, “Why did you suddenly think of contacting me?”

    “Old Jiang, Qi Chuan is dead,” Yuan Chenyang said calmly.

    The smart bracelet fell silent, with only faint crackling sounds.

    “What’s the big deal?”

    “Guiding.” Yuan Chenyang uttered two words.

    Jiang Rong’s tone became a little hurried, “You should know, it definitely has nothing to do with me.”

    Yuan Chenyang said directly, “I’ll have someone cover this up. Cut ties as soon as possible.”

    Silence for a long time.

    “Thank you,” Jiang Rong said slowly.

    “Alright.” Yuan Chenyang ended the communication and couldn’t help but look at Qi Chuan’s corpse again, muttering, “Perfect, this is a rare opportunity.”

    “Good job, Yuan Chenyang.” Jiang Rong’s expression fluctuated.

    “Guiding?” Jiang He, sitting opposite, had already risen in anger: “Is Qi Chuan out of his mind? How dare he collude with a Guiding?”

    “Perhaps it’s not what he wanted, but those targeted by Guides… Alas…” Jiang Rong sighed, then pointed at Jiang He: “I told you back then, don’t provoke such a ruthless fellow. If you marry him, settle down your heart!”

    “They have no attachments, but we still do!”

    Jiang He’s aura weakened, and she lowered her face, then sat back down.

    Jiang Rong secretly shook his head, then said, “I didn’t expect Yuan Chenyang to inform me in advance. I should thank Su Chen.”

    “Thank Su Chen?” Jiang He was puzzled.

    “Su Chen must have told Yuan Chenyang everything that happened that night,” Jiang Rong slowly said:

    “At that time, the academy hadn’t been burgled, and Heituo hadn’t surfaced yet. Qi Chuan really wanted to kill you, which ironically ruled us out as suspects.”

    Jiang He snorted coldly, subconsciously touching her cheek.

    “Next, we’ll be living in fear,” Jiang Rong muttered softly. “Zhang Hongbo is gone, Feng Chang is gone, Zhou Xian has to avoid suspicion, and he still wants to win me over. Yuan Chenyang is making big moves.”

    “I wonder what this [Low-Tier Guiding Power] actually does.”

    Su Chen opened his panel, staring at the blood-red text, which looked very ominous.

    He currently had two unassigned professions: [Gale Hunter] and [Arcane Apprentice].

    “Although it can also apply to third-tier, leaving it there won’t make it produce offspring. I wonder what kind of mutation it will cause,” Su Chen pondered the pros and cons. “I’ll choose [Gale Hunter]. If there’s really a problem, I still have the Strongman’s second-tier profession as a backup.”

    Mental professions are difficult to deal with; physical professions are easier.

    Making up his mind, Su Chen didn’t hesitate, and used the [Low-Tier Guiding Power] on the [Gale Hunter].

    On the panel, the blood-red Guiding power transformed into strands of intertwined blood, wrapping around the Gale Hunter.

    [Gale Hunter has been infiltrated by Guiding power, gradually becoming frenzied. The Path of Hunting has been activated: defeat three second-tier professionals to evolve your profession to the peak of the second-tier.]

    “Path of Hunting? Evolution?”

    Su Chen’s face showed a mix of surprise and joy. Good… good.

    He had a deep understanding of the power of a top-tier profession.
