I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 935 - 341: Desire-Suppressing Chart, Offering Incense (5k) (Part 3)

"No, I can just recall bits and pieces, the rules he has to follow are secrets, as well as his flaws, he won’t tell anyone."

"Didn’t you go to find the person you’re looking for?"

"I did, but as soon as I got off the plane, I stayed at the airport for half a day, then I came back."

"Huh?" Wen Yan was a bit surprised.

"I kind of don’t dare to meet..."

Su Mu’s behavior seemed somewhat... cowardly. After tirelessly seeking for an incredibly long time, she finally had a glimmer of hope, yet she was afraid, stopped in her tracks, not daring to take another step forward.

"I understand, take your time." Wen Yan nodded knowingly, not pressing further.

After chatting with Su Mu for a bit, he reiterated that the previous conditions still held; she could go to Guanzhong County at any time, and the Scorching Sun Department would still keep their promise to help her find someone.

Wen Yan didn’t ask much, knowing that it must be someone who could reincarnate, just like Su Mu.

He turned and left with the Sage Diagram, returning to Nanwu County, where he handed the Sage Diagram along with the remaining unused wondrous items to Feng Yao.

"That Great Demon is suppressed within the Sage Diagram."

"Are you okay?" Feng Yao asked first, feeling that Wen Yan seemed a bit different from before.

"I’m fine, really fine. You guys keep the items safe. If there’s someone with amnesia, you can use the Sage Diagram to treat them."

"Is it possible for this Great Demon to break free?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment and, having seen the hints within the Sage Diagram, decided this Great Demon should wait to be suppressed to death inside it.

Endlessly enduring the heart fire’s burning, endlessly witnessing the nearby Power within reach, yet never being able to touch it again, and as an intelligent creature that needs to eat, he could no longer do so.

Hunger is torture far more terrifying than the heart fire at its peak.

Appetite is undoubtedly the greatest desire of creatures.

Just not sure if the Five Desires Demon would go insane; either way, he’ll certainly wish to be driven mad by hunger someday.

And also not sure if the Heavenly Demon would starve to death.

Wen Yan currently hopes he doesn’t die.

If it were just the previous Power, the Great Demon indeed had the potential to escape, but when Wen Yan glimpsed the image-within-an-image through the light, he was certain this wretched creature should wait to be suppressed to death.

But seeing Feng Yao full of curiosity now, Wen Yan thought it’s better to be cautious.

"Theoretically, there’s indeed a chance of escape, and nobody knows if there’s someone whose ability might just come in handy."

"I understand!" Feng Yao nodded heavily.

Wen Yan didn’t explain much, knowing it’s always right to advise them to be careful and cautious.

After leaving the Yu State Scorching Sun Department, Wen Yan went directly to the Capital City to explain the situation face-to-face with the General Director; someone needed to know the real situation, and it had to be the General Director.

The General Director looked at Wen Yan with some surprise.

"Do you have any other thoughts?"

"No, just be cautious and make sure those doing the work stay alert as well."

"Being cautious indeed isn’t wrong. If we tell them there’s no big risk, problems could indeed arise."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home and rest. I haven’t been home for several days."

"Go ahead, rest well, others will handle the rest."

At this moment, in the eastern Xiao Xiang County, the Wudang Sect Leader was leading a team on another mission. It’s not the ideal situation, but not the worst either; as long as preparations were complete, the Wudang Sect Leader could handle it without much pressure.

There was also a demon over there, but not as particularly troublesome as the Five Desires Demon, which tends to hide when things look bad.

After Wen Yan left, the General Director shook his head with a self-mocking smile.

He had initially thought Wen Yan meant that since the Five Desires Demon was suppressed within the Sage Diagram, there was actually no risk, but on the surface, they maintained vigilance to make it seem fraught with danger, using it as bait to see if they could catch a big fish.

But upon hearing Wen Yan’s response, he realized that Wen Yan seemed unaware of some things and didn’t have such deep thoughts.

The Scorching Sun Department had been cleaning house for several days now, but this amount of time was just the beginning.

Such an operation couldn’t settle in less than half a year.

The discovery of the Five Desires Demon made the General Director realize there were surely people not yet uncovered due to some abilities not recorded in their database or due to rare data, or perhaps special things.

The Sage Diagram was indeed an excellent bait.

The General Director hadn’t mentioned these things to Wen Yan, thinking highly of him and not wanting to involve him in unrelated matters.

Throughout the entire incident, he had observed everything, seeing numerous recorded data, and thus he didn’t want to see Wen Yan become a deep-thinking person.

Such people were abundant in the Scorching Sun Department; they didn’t need another like Wen Yan. He didn’t want Wen Yan to become the next Cai Heizi... ahem, Cai Qidong.

The Old Celestial Master had warned him previously not to impose the Scorching Sun Department’s ideologies upon Wen Yan, something he hadn’t quite understood at the time but did now.

Publicly, he hopes Wen Yan maintains his current disposition, for with this mindset, he can unleash extraordinarily absurd Power.

Privately, he greatly admires Wen Yan and doesn’t want him to become corrupted one day.

The General Director opened a cabinet and took out a file, intending to elevate Wen Yan’s status from a special project group expert to a specially-appointed expert in the Scorching Sun Department, essentially making him a top talent equivalent to those within the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, thus truly joining the Scorching Sun Department. With this status, many matters could be rightfully elevated.

This was something the General Director had long prepared, but now, after some thought, he placed it back at the bottom of the drawer and closed it again.

The current state was pretty good, and Wen Yan might even prefer it this way.

Since titles and honors couldn’t be elevated...

The General Director suddenly smiled, thinking, then let’s offer more bonuses and tangible resources; Wen Yan would certainly appreciate that.
