Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Chapter 332: 163, Centennial Soul_2

Moreover, among high-level original life forms, some can even develop a sixth-level domain.

Even with the explosive power of Black Flame, it is very difficult to deal with such individuals.

After all…

Anyone who can reach this level of power must have been a genius once, and being easily killed by someone at a lower level would be a joke!

“I can only change my target for now…”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “Once Black Flame transforms into a high-level original life form and the Holy Text is prepared, killing Yan Jiu won’t be difficult.”

Moreover, after evolving into a sixth-level life form, it will also be easier to sense and become familiar with the energy of other sixth levels!

Coupled with the Energy Gathering Pool, the progress of the divine skill will be much faster.

…

This night was bound to cause a great commotion.

Yan Tianquan, a prospective Star Patrol member with the potential to become a councilman, was found dead in his own residence at the Star Patrol Council headquarters!

This bizarre news spread in an instant.

However, after the Planet Inspectors mobilized surveillance for a thorough investigation, they still found nothing.

No matter how advanced the holographic surveillance, it could only restore sound, light, energy fluctuations, and life aura at most.

But still, nothing was discovered.

Very soon, the Planet Inspectors convened a meeting immediately.

“Regarding Yan Tianquan’s death, the current confirmed points are as follows.”

Kelo, the Three-eyed Intelligent Star’s councilman, spoke coldly: “Yan Tianquan’s private room had no surveillance, and the scene was severely damaged, showing traces of telekinetic sweeps. It is difficult to simulate and restore what exactly happened.”

“But there are four points we can confirm.”

Councilman Kelo said in a deep voice: “First, the time of Yan Tianquan’s death was right after he contacted Councilman Yan Qingqing. The communication content has been checked by intelligent systems and confirmed to be without issue.”

“Second, Yan Tianquan was preparing to leave his room when the culprit took the opportunity to break in and kill him. This implies the perpetrator’s hidden abilities are very strong, either similar to the divine ability of the Hidden Hand or the Holy Text skills of Day Floating or Hidden Kill.”

“Third, judging by the extent of the damage at the scene, the perpetrator’s strength at least shows promise to pass through the fourth layer of the Star Abyss, with higher being very possible.”

Saying this, Councilman Kelo glanced at the other councilmen and council members, speaking in a deep voice: “Currently, based on Yan Tianquan’s social relations and recent interactions, there are four suspects, with the most suspicious being the newly joined prospective Star Patrol member ‘Lin Qing’.”

The room’s councilmen and council members were all taken by surprise.

Though many present knew this was probably wrong, none would stand up for an Earth person they were against.

“Lin Qing?”

Councilman Yan sneered mockingly: “Councilman Kelo, I think you’ve truly gone mad, throwing such baseless accusations at Lin Qing?”

“Yes, he has studied the Holy Text ‘Hidden World’ at Celestial Vault Islands, but how long has he been cultivating?”

“Given his current power, he might not even pass through the third layer of the Star Abyss, let alone deal with someone of Yan Tianquan’s strength. Even if Yan Tianquan stood still, could he kill him?”

Councilman Yan laughed derisively: “I might as well say you killed Yan Tianquan and framed Lin Qing for it. Anyone can make baseless guesses!”

Councilman Kelo frowned slightly, responding coldly: “The Yan family has always been outstanding employees of the Intelligent Star Group, why would I kill Yan Tianquan?”

“Lin Qing never even met Yan Tianquan, and yet he becomes the murderer? How absurd!” Councilman Yan questioned back.

“He has motive,” Councilman Kelo said with a stern face: “He wants to use the Energy Gathering Pool ahead of time, and his biggest obstacle was Yan Tianquan. The test is about to begin, and at this moment, Yan Tianquan died. Shouldn’t he be suspected?”

Councilman Yan mocked with a smile: “If he had the power to kill Yan Tianquan, why wouldn’t he defeat him openly in the test? He knows he would be the prime suspect and still go ahead to kill Yan Tianquan? Don’t you think what you’re saying is ridiculous?”

Councilman Kelo frowned, seeming unwilling to argue further. He turned to the pure and beautiful female councilman standing behind him and said: “Yan Qingqing, share your findings.”

“Yes, Councilman Kelo.”

Yan Qingqing stood up, “Councilmen, council members, through investigating Lin Qing’s situation before arriving at the urban circle, I found something strange.”

She pointed her fingertip lightly, projecting several images in the air.

Among the data were several deceased individuals.

“These individuals were Inspection Headquarters’ Upper Minister ‘Polucott’, and Outer World prisoners ‘Brother Chuan’ and ‘Bichinaer’.”

Yan Qingqing said: “All of these people, without exception, had conflicts with Lin Qing at some point, and they all ended up dead.”

The councilmen and council members looked carefully.

Councilman Yan glanced over and said indifferently: “Yan Qingqing, looking at the time of their deaths, what was Lin Qing’s power then? Especially Upper Minister Polucott, when he died, Lin Qing didn’t even have a divine position. Are you claiming someone without a divine skill could do this?”

“Councilman Yan misunderstood me.”

Yan Qingqing shook her head slightly and said: “I’m only suspecting that behind Lin Qing… there might be other powerful individuals assisting him, perhaps more than one, with the strongest being at least the fourth layer of the Star Abyss.”

“The fourth layer of the Star Abyss?” Councilman Yan raised his eyebrows and said: “Anyone capable of passing the fourth layer is at least a high-level original life form, which counts as the upper-middle class in the urban circle. Any Earth person with that power would likely have signed contracts with outer civilizations. How could they act recklessly and commit murder?”
