Liu Xin actually knew in his heart that he had overlooked it.
Given Xiong Mao and his wife's status and position, finding him was indeed not easy.
At this moment, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, and he didn't know what to say.
The scene was silent, with only the rain continuously washing over the dragon-like stone pillars.
Lei Xiao, who was watching everything from the side, remained silent. Although he did not know the specific reason, he had heard stories like "Your daughter is drinking bird's nest soup, while my daughter is drinking porridge," which reflected the gap between social classes.
Normally, Lei Xiao would definitely take the initiative to step forward, find out the whole story, and judge right and wrong according to his own values.
At this moment, Lei Xiao was only concerned about the impending eruption of the earth veins, and he had little interest in the entanglement between Liu Xin and the two prisoners.
Moreover, the reason he was able to arrive so quickly to provide support wasn't just to help.
He knew the preciousness and fragility of the ley lines and was afraid that the previous battle would cause devastating damage to them, which is why he rushed over in a hurry.
He rushed over to stop the previous battle because he was afraid it would cause devastating damage to the ley lines. He planned to rescue Park Dong-hoon and then use his connections with the Thunder Bureau to make exorbitant demands on the Park family.
Lei Xiao had no idea that Park Dong-hoon would be shot dead right in front of him.
Fortunately, the ley lines were unharmed.
Now it seems that even the battle between the two giant snakes was within the master's calculations.
The frequent earthquakes just now made Lei Xiao realize that time was running out and there was no room for delay.
Having considered this, Lei Xiao immediately looked up at Liu Xin and calmly said:
"Liu Xin, the pursuit mission is now complete. Xiong Mao and his wife are now in your hands."
As he spoke, Lei Xiao stepped forward and slapped his hands hard at Xiong Mao and his wife.
A powerful and chilling sword intent instantly surged into their bodies, severely injuring them. Then, the sword intent remained within them like a sharp blade, as if setting a restriction that prevented them from using their supernatural abilities.
After completely subduing the two, Lei Xiao continued speaking:
"As for Park Dong-hoon, I will also explain the cause of death to the department."
Liu Xin was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lei Xiao to entrust Xiong Mao and the other two to him.
He glanced at Xiong Mao with a complicated expression, gritted his teeth, and nodded:
"I'll take them back to the station right away."
Just then, Sun Chengyu suddenly walked over from behind with a serious expression, leaned close to Lei Xiao's ear, and explained in detail the details of what he had promised Li Yu.
After listening, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Li Yu:
“Li Yu, Sun Chengyu said that there was a reason why you killed the law enforcement officer before.”
"On behalf of the Thunder Bureau, I hereby announce that this matter will no longer be pursued. You may leave with them as well."
Although Lei Xiao is not a high-ranking official in the Thunder Bureau, his father is the bureau chief Lei Zhanyong, and moreover, it concerns Li Yu, so he can make a decision on this small matter.
"Thank you." After hearing the answer she wanted, Li Yu simply nodded slightly, then turned her horse around and prepared to leave.
With the matter between Young Master Ao and the law enforcement team settled, Li Yu felt little unease about the affair between Liu Xin and the couple.
To put it bluntly, he came here to help only because of Lei Xiao's last words, hoping to completely get rid of the trouble caused by killing the law enforcement officer.
Lei Xiao watched Li Yu's departing figure and pondered to himself.
He knew about Thunder Bureau's ongoing Sky Project and also understood what Thunder Bureau needed Li Yu's abilities for.
However, he had promised his master that he must not reveal the matter of the earth veins to his father before he successfully obtained the inheritance.
Therefore, Lei Xiao had no choice but to let the Thunder Bureau continue to advance the Sky Project.
Although Liu Xin and the others vaguely sensed that Lei Xiao seemed to be intentionally trying to get rid of them, they had no choice but to follow his instructions under the circumstances.
Fortunately, thanks to the restrictions set up by Lei Xiao, Du Xiayue and her two newcomers were able to escort Xiong Mao and his wife, which made things much easier.
As they walked back, Sun Chengyu suddenly remembered something more important and hurriedly took flight to catch up with Li Yu.
As soon as he took off, he realized that Li Yu hadn't actually gone far, but was quietly standing in the giant stone forest where they had just fought fiercely.
At this moment, Li Yu was riding Xiao Hei, standing quietly beside Park Dong-hoon's body.
Because he arrived too late, the energy released after Park Dong-hoon's death had almost completely dissipated, and he only managed to absorb a very small amount of energy.
Lei Xiao arrived at the scene on his sword shortly after Li Yu killed Park Dong-hoon.
Li Yu's intuition told him that Lei Xiao, who seemed so "clear" and innocent, was definitely able to sense the special energy that had dissipated after Park Dong-hoon's death.
However, Lei Xiao seemed unaware that there were actually people in this world who could convert this energy into their own use.
Li Yu didn't want to risk gambling on whether Lei Xiao could actually see this energy. Exposing his special ability too early would definitely not be a good thing for him, so he simply didn't go forward to absorb it.
While Li Yu was pondering, Sun Chengyu had already caught up first. He quickly descended from the air and landed steadily behind Li Yu:
"Li Yu, you're here. We need to talk to you about something."
Li Yu turned around in confusion. Logically speaking, the matter was already over, so why was the other party still looking for her?
Seeing this, Sun Chengyu said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Actually... this pursuit mission was just a side story. The Thunder Bureau came to see you not because of these two criminals, but because there are some more important things to tell you."
Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling him to continue.
Sun Chengyu was racking his brains trying to figure out the best way to say it when Liu Xin and the others arrived in a hurry.
As soon as Liu Xin saw Li Yu, a wave of regret washed over him.
It's all my fault for insisting on testing Li Yu's strength with the mission, which has led to this situation.
Before even formally inviting them, Li Yu was already preparing to head home.
You have to understand that the higher-ups had repeatedly emphasized that Li Yu must be invited to join, and they couldn't let him completely ruin the whole thing.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin took a deep breath and stepped forward to explain to Li Yu:
“Li Yu, as you know, the Water Era has arrived, and the water level is still rising.”
"Those cities outside the Great Wall probably won't last much longer."
"The situation is currently turbulent. Apart from the twelve cities, there are still various forces vying for power. If we don't integrate them quickly, Zhongzhou will inevitably fall into chaos sooner or later."
Liu Xin paused briefly, then quickly said:
"The Central State Thunder Bureau plans to take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly unify all forces within the Central State before the large influx of people from outside the Great Wall arrives, so that they can all be used by the Central State and better manage the influx of people."
At this point, Liu Xin paused, observing Li Yu's expression:
"Therefore, the Thunder Bureau has actually begun to attract various forces to join voluntarily."
