#684 - Chapter 684 Are You Taking Credit?

Dongfang Chen and Old Qin had already seen this scene through the large screen.

Old Qin's expression was very unsightly.

Dongfang Chen didn't say anything; this matter wasn't his concern.

"Baili Ji, what are you up to?" Old Qin directly called Baili Ji.

"Old Qin, what's wrong?" Baili Ji was puzzled.

"Dongfang Chen's people went to take custody, why were they detained?"

"Detained? No! I already had the Jingqi base personnel handle the transfer according to your instructions, didn't I?" Baili Ji replied.

"Hmph! They were taken away right after leaving the door. Dare you say it has nothing to do with you?" Old Qin said unhappily.

The people were taken away right at the entrance of the command department; if there wasn't authorization from above, who would have the guts to do that?

"Is that so? I really don't know! I'll find out about the situation and get back to you later."

20 minutes later.

"Old Qin, the situation has been clarified; it was just a misunderstanding. I've already instructed them, and they will be released soon," Baili Ji replied.

"Give the order to transfer those robbers as well," Old Qin added.

"This… alright!" Baili Ji wanted to say something more, but he didn't.

…

Inside the Jingqi base.

"I'm sorry, everyone, it was all a misunderstanding." The security captain was like a completely different person at this moment, all smiles and jocularity.

The special warfare team members didn't say anything and walked out of the detention room.

"It's bad, Captain, we were negligent and let them escape!" Suddenly, a security team member ran over to report.

"Escaped? What are you guys doing? Huh? You can't even keep an eye on a few people; what use are you?" The security captain scolded.

"What's going on?" The special warfare team member frowned.

This matter was strange in every way. Clearly, some people were in cahoots with Zhang Jue.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

The special warfare team member looked at the security captain.

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence," the security captain said with a smile.

"Is that an apology? Why do I feel like you're trying to take credit?" The special warfare team member looked at him with scrutiny.

"Ah? What do you mean?" The security captain was stunned.

"Seal off the base. Arrange for dozens of Rank 9 experts to come with me to catch them!" The special warfare team member didn't say any more.

Zhang Jue and his five subordinates were still wearing Immortal Binding Neck Collars, which had trackers inside, so they couldn't run far.

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." The security team member nodded and left.

On Dongfang Chen's side, they were already watching the base surveillance footage.

In the video, more than a dozen cultivators who still possessed strength hijacked the security team members and escaped from prison.

It didn't seem like there were any problems, but the situation was very unreasonable.

If the base was sealed off, where could they run to?

Since they couldn't escape, why would they risk breaking out of prison?

Why did the security team members' actions feel like they were cooperating with them?

"Old Qin, have we overlooked something?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"I'm thinking about this issue too. Should we detain the security team and interrogate them?"

"Not yet, let's continue watching the show and see if we can find anything."

"Alright."

The special warfare team members didn't immediately pursue but went to the airfield and summoned their mecha spaceships.

Now, each special warfare team member had a set of mecha spaceships; flying directly to the moon wasn't a problem.

Wearing the mecha, they could easily capture those cultivators.

"Dad, what is this thing? Why do I feel like I can't exert any strength?"

"I'm not sure either; maybe they developed a weapon specifically targeting cultivators," Zhang Jue shook his head.

"Let's go back first and find a way to cut it off."

They were being carried by their other subordinates, quickly traversing the base's downtown area, not daring to stop for a moment.

Two hours later, they collectively entered a grocery store and never came out again.

After putting on their mecha, the special warfare team members immediately flew towards the tracked area.

The other security team members who were called in didn't have this equipment and could only drive the base's internal commuter vehicles to fly over.

Inside the grocery store.

"Zzz…"

A bespectacled craftsman was carefully cutting Zhang Jue's neck collar with an angle grinder.

"Curator, it's no good. Two cutting discs have already been ruined, and I can't cut it off at all," the craftsman chose to give up after trying for a long time.

"I don't know what material this is; it's so hard."

The Immortal Binding Neck Collar used pseudo-vibranium, so steel blades couldn't cut it.

"Uncle Peng, you must think of a way. With this thing stuck on our necks, we can't mobilize the spiritual energy in our bodies at all."

"Girl, there's really no way. The one who tied the bell must untie it; I'm afraid you have to find the person who locked it," Peng Chi shook his head.

"They are Jiang Ziya's people; how would they help us unlock it?"

"I'll think of another way!" Peng Chi sighed.

"Girl, I feel like they might not be Jiang Ziya's people," Zhang Jue said.
