Wanted

A week later, at noon.

"Elder Brother Xiaoyi, tomorrow is the college entrance examination. Daddy is busy with work and Mommy doesn't know how to drive. Can you drive me there?"

Zhao Wanting looked at Lin Yi eagerly.

Zhao Aiguo had always been very busy with his work. After he was promoted to the position of Deputy Director of the Supernatural Supervision Bureau, his work became even busier. He often didn't see anyone. This time, he didn't even have the time to fetch his daughter for her college entrance examination.

Lin Yi stopped what he was doing and a sense of resistance rose in his heart. However, he looked at Zhao Wanting's longing gaze and then sensed the spiritual power in his body. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "Alright, I'll accompany you."

"Alright, thank you, Elder Brother Xiaoyi. See you tomorrow morning," Zhao Wanting replied happily.

Lin Yi bitterly smiled and thought about the defensive items he had to prepare for tomorrow.

In a week, with the help of several types of spiritual plants, he easily raised his cultivation level to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. The Round Fruit and Spirit Sunflower Fruit increased his cultivation level, and the Breakthrough Fruit allowed him to break through to the next realm. After he developed resistance, he would consume the White Jade Flower to purify his body.

After a set of combination punches, his cultivation base would increase exponentially every day. For ordinary people, they would need several years or even decades of bitter cultivation to reach the realm. However, he easily broke through in a week.

In addition, he had grasped a few additional escape arts during his cultivation. These were the main reasons why he was willing to accompany Zhao Wanting down the mountain.

Otherwise, he might not have agreed.

…

Baishan City's Supernatural Bureau, high-level meeting.

"Director Wang, did that wanted criminal really enter our city?" Zhao Aiguo asked with a solemn expression.

"It's absolutely true. The higher-ups have already issued an emergency notice, asking us to assist the people from the province's Supervision Bureau to take him down as soon as possible." Wang Yuande's expression wasn't too good either.

"Capture him? You make it sound nice, but he's a cultivator who knows how to use flying swords. We won't be able to block a single sword strike from him. How are we supposed to capture him?" A peak innate realm martial artist participating in the meeting said indignantly.

"That's right, isn't this a joke?"

"This fellow has killed no less than several hundred martial artists."

"Moreover, it's currently time for the college entrance examination. Our main forces have gone to guard the examination hall, so we don't have the time to spare."

…

The other people in the meeting kept complaining. It could be seen that no one wanted to take on this job.

"That's enough!"

Wang Yuande slammed the table, and the meeting room instantly fell silent. Everyone shut their mouths and turned their gazes to Wang Yuande.

"This wanted criminal, Long Jianan, has a bloodthirsty personality and doesn't care about moral laws at all. He acts according to his preferences. By coming to our Baishan City this time, it will definitely have a serious impact on the security of our city. It's useless even if you want to hide."

"You guys don't have to worry about the college entrance examination anymore. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong during the college entrance examination, the military has already moved into our Baishan City. During the college entrance examination, the safety of the examination venue will be fully handled by the military. We can completely mobilize our manpower."

"Also, don't panic. The provincial research institute has already developed a method to restrain his flying sword based on the recordings of the previous battles." As he spoke, Wang Yuande took out a black shield that was half the height of a person.

"This kind of shield is forged from spirit ores and has astonishing defensive power. It can completely withstand the impact of Long Jianan's flying sword. Without the flying sword, tell me, what is there to be afraid of about Long Jianan?"

After Wang Yuande finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present became much better. It was fine as long as they didn't throw their lives away unnecessarily.

They were afraid of Long Jianan's flying sword which was rumored to be useless. Now that there was a method, it was naturally the best.

"In addition, the ones fighting above aren't us. There will be two cultivators from the province's Supernatural Supervision Bureau arriving soon, and they will be in charge of the main battles. What we need to do is to find Long Jianan's whereabouts."

"I see." Everyone felt relieved.

"Alright, everyone has seen the photos. Everyone, get into position and start your search."

"Yes!"

Zhao Aiguo also accepted the order.

He felt ashamed and worried. After all, his daughter would be having her college entrance examination over the next two days. He felt very ashamed that he wasn't able to accompany her.

Moreover, at this moment, the arrival of such a vicious wanted criminal made him even more worried about his daughter's safety.

After pondering for a moment, he called Lin Yi.

"Alright, alright. I'll take note. Right, Uncle Zhao, make time to come back tonight. I have something for you."

"Don't worry, it's good stuff. It can save your life."

"Alright, alright."

Lin Yi hung up, his expression calm.

As expected, it was very convenient to have people in the imperial court. To be able to obtain such important information first-hand, this kind of information would be sent to the Supernatural Alliance's app very soon. However, no matter how fast it was, it wouldn't be as fast as the direct notification from the participants.

"I have a flying sword." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. "I'm fine, but it might be a little dangerous for Wanting and Uncle Zhao."

There was still a long time before tomorrow, so he should be able to make it. Lin Yi made up his mind and shifted his gaze to a vine on the wall.

…

At night, in front of the windowsill of an abandoned building.

A middle-aged man looked at the army that was constantly entering the city and the people from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau who were searching door to door. A tyrannical look flashed in his eyes.

Behind him, a slender woman who was tightly tied up sat on the ground, looking very disheveled.

The slender woman's limbs were restricted, and her eyes were filled with anger. "Long Jianan, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Don't worry, I just want to escape overseas. Miss Xia, don't worry. As long as I can escape, I will naturally let you go. I don't want to completely offend the Xia family. Of course, if I can't escape, then there's nothing I can do."

"Escape? Dream on," Xia Yining said coldly. "You killed so many innocent people. How can the country let you leave alive?"

"Innocent? Hahaha! Innocent?!"

Long Jianan laughed out loud. "They're just a bunch of ants. It's fine if you kill them, but will you care about the few ants you accidentally stepped on?"

"Miss Xia, we are all cultivators and high-level creatures. Why do you still care about these low-level ants? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we established a heavenly court for cultivators and grasped the highest authority in the world?"

"Ptooey!" Xia Yining spat on the ground. "After cultivating for a few days, you feel that you're not human anymore? An ant? How high can you be?"

Long Jianan smiled and wasn't angry. Instead, he spoke very calmly.

"Miss Xia, it's fine if you don't understand. After I get out, I'll get the organization to give you a detailed explanation. At that time, you'll know how stupid you are now."

"Dog, don't think too much. If you dare to brainwash me, I'll kill myself immediately," Xia Yining said coldly, her tone filled with determination. Clearly, what she said wasn't a lie.

"Hehe, Miss Xia, don't be agitated. Some things are hard to say. Don't come to a conclusion so soon." Long Jianan smiled as he consoled her, a strange expression on his face.
