Li Chonglou didn't even spare the Wutong trees, let alone someone at only the second level, a weakling who didn't even know how to circulate their qi.
As the man charged, Li Chonglou flickered his form. In the next second, the man was sent flying out again, landing precisely back in the pile of dirt he had just come from.
"You, you've gone too far!"
He pulled himself out of the dirt again, and this time, Li Chonglou heard it clearly.
It was a female voice! Definitely a female voice!
Li Chonglou froze, the person he referred to as "Brother Fa" was furious, pointing at himself, completely unaware that his chest was slowly expanding.
In less than ten seconds, with a small 'bang', Brother Fa's chest suddenly enlarged, bursting the seams of his clothes!
Li Chonglou stared dumbfoundedly, gazing at the person before him. No, it should be a woman!
It was only then that the woman reacted, instinctively covering her chest.
"Ah!"
It was a scream that pierced the heavens. The moment the sound rang out, Li Chonglou realized something was amiss!
It was the dead of night, and the nearby residents would have been asleep. With this scream, they...
Indeed, in the very next moment, lights suddenly blazed in the distance, and many people even stuck their heads out and began to curse loudly!
"What time is it! Which idiot is still awake and making a scene! Got horny, huh!"
"Exactly! And not inviting me to join the fun!"
Waking up ordinary residents wasn't the main concern. Li Chonglou feared attracting the attention of the General Bureau! Or other unnecessary outsiders.
"Come with me first!"
This place was no longer safe. Li Chonglou flashed to the woman's side and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"What do you want! Let go of me!"
The woman tried to struggle. Li Chonglou glared, then exuded a strong aura of menace. How could the woman, who hadn't even fully mastered her own qi, handle such an intensity of malevolence!
She was instantly terrified and froze on the spot, not daring to move!
Li Chonglou didn't hesitate. He grabbed her and left immediately! Five minutes later, they were in a deserted old factory building that was safe and unoccupied.
As soon as Li Chonglou stopped, the woman immediately slapped his hand away and retreated to the side.
"What do you want bringing me to a place like this! I'm telling you, don't get any funny ideas! I don't like men!"
Li Chonglou said in surprise, "You're gay?"
"What gay?"
As soon as she spoke, the woman understood and then fell silent.
Li Chonglou understood. No wonder she had disguised herself like this. However, her disguise was indeed top-tier, as far as he had seen.
Even with his extensive experience, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you to me? Why should I tell you!"
Li Chonglou's expression turned cold, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you're not honest, I'll take you back to the police station right now!"
A hint of panic flashed across the woman's face as she quickly looked around, as if searching for an escape route.
"Stop looking. I can bring you here, so I can naturally keep you here for life! If you're not honest, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Chonglou truly had no intention of being polite to the woman. He had considerable experience dealing with women; the more polite he was in such situations, the more counterproductive things would become!
Instead, the more assertive he appeared, the more cooperative she would be. There was even a professional term for this in psychology, but Li Chonglou couldn't recall it at the moment.
However, the facts proved him right. Under his assertive demeanor, the woman didn't waste many words, only saying warily, "What exactly do you want? Let me tell you first, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If you're thinking of something dirty..."
Li Chonglou immediately interrupted, "I just need you to answer a few questions."
The woman visibly relaxed.
"What is your name, and which sect or power do you belong to?"
Li Chonglou went straight to the point, conducting a routine background check. To his surprise, the person before him was a rogue cultivator with no sect or affiliation.
"My name is Yi Defa. I have no affiliation. Three years ago, an older sister taught me things, but she suddenly disappeared."
Yi Defa's expression was calm, not like she was lying.
Li Chonglou was stunned. Judging by her voice, she should be quite young, perhaps around the same age as Chen Peiyue. Such a person would be a seed-level talent in any power, yet she was merely a rogue cultivator?
But on second thought, being a rogue cultivator was also highly possible. After all, if she were a descendant of a major power, she wouldn't be unable to even circulate her qi.
But if this were true...
Li Chonglou suddenly glanced at a dilapidated faucet not far away and used his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance ability to look at it. The water seemed to be running.
"You, go wash the dirt off your face first."
Yi Defa also glanced at the nearby faucet. This time, she didn't think much of it and walked over directly. As a woman, even with different sexual orientations, she still valued cleanliness.
Being rammed into the dirt headfirst like an inverted onion twice, it would be a lie to say she wasn't uncomfortable. Li Chonglou's suggestion coincided perfectly with her wishes.
Watching Yi Defa walk to the faucet and drain the dirty water, Li Chonglou inwardly grumbled, "Yi Defa, that name is a bit too peculiar."
The dirty water was drained in just a few dozen seconds, after which Yi Defa began to clean herself. Soon, a face with a hint of youthfulness appeared before Li Chonglou.
"Uh, that, how old are you?"
Looking at the smooth, youthful face, Li Chonglou's brow furrowed slightly. Yi Defa suddenly became vigilant.
"What do you want? I warned you, don't have any bad intentions!"
Yi Defa took a step back, looking a bit scared. Li Chonglou rolled his eyes, "I'm just asking your age, just tell me."
Yi Defa stared intently. Seeing that Li Chonglou had no unusual expression, she slowly said, "Twenty-five."
"Hmm?"
Li Chonglou was somewhat surprised. At her appearance, she was already twenty-five? She looked only seventeen or eighteen!
"Hey, what exactly do you want to ask! If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. My people are still waiting for me at the base!"
Yi Defa felt uncomfortable being stared at. Li Chonglou was reminded of the serious matter by her words and couldn't help but clear his throat.
"Alright, we'll talk about these things later. Now, I'm asking you, do you know about the three # murders that have occurred nearby?"
Yi Defa's expression froze instantly.
"What # murders?"
"You don't know?"
Yi Defa's expression changed, and she quickly said, "You don't suspect me of being a murderer, do you? What a joke! I, Yi Defa, haven't even killed a chicken in my life, let alone a person?"
