Chapter 397: Qin Muyin Rescued, Sniping Adam!Two days later.
Chen Ye was the first to return from Mars, back to Earth.
The mont he entered Earth’s atmosphere, the first thing he did was take several deep breaths.
The feeling of being able to breathe again was amazing!
For the past three days in outer space, on Mars, Chen Ye hadn’t been able to breathe at all.
Even though his physique was terrifyingly strong now, going three full days without oxygen still left his brain dizzy from hypoxia.
Chen Ye estimated that his survival limit in space was about five days.
If he stayed any longer without breathing oxygen, the consequences were unpredictable!
After returning to Earth, Chen Ye went straight back to the capital, preparing to wait for Director Han Li to return.
Han Li’s flight speed was much slower than his, and it would take over ten more hours before he arrived.
At this ti, it was just past 7 PM in the Xia Nation.
The streets of the capital were lively and bustling.
Chen Ye picked a clean-looking restaurant and had a full al, then called his secretary, Song Wenqian.
"Director? You finally called... Where are you now?"
From her voice, it was clear Song Wenqian was anxious.
She had been told to wait for Chen Ye at the hotel, but he’d disappeared for three days.
In that ti, she had gone to the main bureau several tis without finding him—how could she not be worried?
"We’ll talk when we et. I’ll send you a location—have Old Sun pick up," Chen Ye said.
Old Sun was his driver.
"Oh, right. Are you hungry? Want to bring you so late-night snacks?" Chen Ye asked.
On the other end, Song Wenqian was speechless.
"I’m not hungry. Just send the address!"
After hanging up, Chen Ye sent it over.
In less than twenty minutes, the car arrived to pick him up.
Back at the hotel, Song Wenqian imdiately asked, "Director, can I ask where you’ve been these past three days?"
Knowing it was inappropriate for a secretary to question her superior, she added, "Of course, if it’s inconvenient to say, forget I asked."
"No inconvenience. I went to Mars with the bureau chief," Chen Ye replied with a wave of his hand.
"Mars?"
Song Wenqian was stunned.
She didn’t ask any further—obviously, if they went to Mars, it must have been for sothing serious.
"So, what’s the plan next? Are we returning tomorrow?"
"Not yet. We’ll be staying in the capital for a few more days."
"Understood."
Song Wenqian pulled out a room card and said, "Here’s your room key. I’m in the room next to yours. Let know if you need anything."
Right after saying that, she realized the sentence had a double aning.
"Let know if you need anything?" That made it sound like... the kind of secretary who did everything.
Too embarrassed to explain, she lowered her head and hurried back to her room.
Watching her slim figure walk away, Chen Ye just smiled, swiped his key, and entered his room.
He took a shower and went straight to bed.
After three days without sleep, breath, and having fought a battle, he felt a bit worn out. Now that he’d eaten and drank, it was the perfect ti to rest.
...
Han Li returned to the capital around 6 AM the next morning.
The sun had already begun to rise. Since it wasn’t ideal to nap at this hour, he went directly to the main bureau and sat down in his office.
Almost as soon as he sat down—
Deputy Director Hu Zhong ca knocking.
"Old Han, you’re finally back? Where the hell have you been these past few days?" Hu Zhong asked bluntly.
While Han Li would sotis disappear to cultivate in seclusion, he always gave advance notice.
This ti, he had vanished for three days without saying a word.
"Went to Mars," Han Li replied with a grin.
Hu Zhong froze, then looked intrigued.
He had heard that three nights ago, Han Li had t with that guy Chen Ye—then both had vanished.
"I heard you t Chen Ye that night. Did you bring him to Mars with you?" Hu Zhong asked curiously.
A question like that bordered on privacy—sothing rarely asked.
For Hu Zhong to bring it up so directly, there were only two possibilities: either he was stupid... or their relationship was close enough.
Clearly, soone capable of becoming a top-tier A-rank Reincarnator wasn’t stupid.
So it had to be the latter.
Surprisingly, Han Li didn’t hide anything. He nodded and smiled, "Yeah. Had a little sparring session with Chen Ye on Mars."
"Sparring?"
Hu Zhong was stunned. "I didn’t mishear, right? With your strength, you should be instructing him, not sparring!"
Han Li shook his head. "I’m in no position to instruct him. It was a fair fight... and I lost. Completely."
The mont he said that—
Hu Zhong’s expression turned to shock!
Even though Han Li was his old teammate and partner, in Hu Zhong’s heart, Han Li was like a god among n.
"Old Han, it’s not April Fools today. That joke’s not funny."
Seeing Hu Zhong didn’t believe him, Han Li said, "When have I ever joked about this kind of thing with you?"
"This..."
Hu Zhong was dumbfounded. "That can’t be! Chen Ye’s actually stronger than you? Then wouldn’t that an he’s already S-rank? Why hasn’t the Main God Space erected a statue for him?"
"That’s a long story. I’ll explain later," Han Li said, standing up.
"Since you’re here today, I’m going to grab so sleep. Three days and nights without rest, plus a full-on fight—I’m exhausted."
Hu Zhong could tell Han Li wasn’t lying.
The exhaustion on his face was real.
It was like he had been utterly drained...
"Alright then, go rest. When you’re up, you better tell everything."
Han Li nodded. As he reached the door, he added, "Keep it a secret. Chen Ye is our secret weapon against Adam."
Upon hearing that, a glint flashed in Hu Zhong’s eyes.
"I understand."
Chen Ye slept all the way until noon the next day.
After freshening up, he ordered so food from the hotel and stayed inside the whole day. By evening, Director Han Li finally contacted him, asking him to head to the bureau.
Chen Ye instantly perked up and flew straight over.
Inside the sa log cabin from last ti, he saw Director Han Li again.
Besides Han Li, there were two familiar faces—one man and one woman.
The man was, of course, Hu Zhong.
And the woman was Qin Muyin!
The mont Chen Ye saw Qin Muyin, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, and he imdiately examined her carefully.
Overall, Qin Muyin looked well—clean, calm, and ntally stable. Clearly, she hadn’t been mistreated.
"Chen Ye!!"
The mont she saw him, Qin Muyin stood up, visibly emotional.
She had thought she would surely die this ti. Yet the tides turned, and she survived.
And that was all thanks to the man in front of her.
Chen Ye had saved her again.
"Sister Qin."
Chen Ye smiled and greeted her, then walked over.
The two clearly had much to say, but both knew this wasn’t the right occasion for small talk. After a simple greeting, they said no more.
"Brother Chen, you really kept in the dark!"
Hu Zhong’s voice ca from the side.
Chen Ye turned and saw Hu Zhong looking at him with mock resentnt. He imdiately understood—Hu Zhong must have heard everything from Director Han Li.
It seed Han Li truly trusted this man.
And to be fair, Chen Ye had developed a good impression of Hu Zhong over the ti they’d spent together.
"Brother Hu, it was a sensitive matter. I didn’t an to keep you in the dark," Chen Ye said with a smile.
"I heard that on Mars, you almost punched Old Han into the planet’s core?" Hu Zhong laughed. "You’re the first one who’s ever made him suffer. Brother, you’re sothing else!"
He gave Chen Ye a big thumbs-up.
Chen Ye didn’t respond to the teasing. Instead, he looked toward the bureau chief.
Han Li’s expression was calm. Clearly, he wasn’t bothered by Hu Zhong’s joke.
At that mont—
Han Li spoke up: "Chen Ye, what are your plans for Miss Qin?"
"I have to tell you, anyone marked by the Main God Space as an outsider threat will carry a very clear sign. In the eyes of reincarnators, Miss Qin is like a firefly in the night—far too obvious."
"The mark set by the Main God Space can’t be hidden by ordinary ans."
"This cabin was built by my own hands, protected with formations I laid myself. It can temporarily shield Miss Qin."
"But the mont she leaves here, all surrounding reincarnators will imdiately sense her presence. So might even receive missions to eliminate her."
Hearing this, Chen Ye suddenly understood.
No wonder Han Li had insisted on eting him here before—so this cabin had its own secrets.
As for the Main God Space marking Qin Muyin, Chen Ye didn’t doubt it at all.
To his eyes, every reincarnator had beco an anomaly with special markers—those crimson HP bars were clearly visible at a glance.
Then—
Chen Ye furrowed his brow.
Arranging a safe place for Qin Muyin really was a tough issue.
"Sister Qin, can you return to Blue Star now?" Chen Ye asked.
Qin Muyin shook her head.
If she could have returned, she already would have. Han Li wouldn’t have had the chance to capture her.
Seeing Chen Ye troubled, Han Li offered a suggestion: "If you don’t have a good plan yet, let her stay in my personal instance world for now. At least there, no other reincarnators can enter."
It was indeed a good idea.
Chen Ye nodded, then suddenly asked, "Sister Qin, is it true that if you kill reincarnators, you can return to Blue Star?"
Qin Muyin glanced at Han Li and Hu Zhong, then replied calmly, "That’s right."
"I have a plan... Sister Qin, until I’m ready to act, stay in the director’s instance world."
"Okay. I’ll follow your arrangent!"
Chen Ye smiled faintly.
If his plan went smoothly, Qin Muyin might just soar in one go.
Since everything was settled, Han Li said, "Miss Qin is free to move around within my sect. I’ll give you a Sect Leader Token later. With it, no one will stop you."
"I also suggest you take a look at the Scripture Pavilion. It contains all the magical insights I’ve gathered over the years. You might find so inspiration for your combat techniques."
To Han Li, Qin Muyin’s use of psychokinesis was far too rough.
If used well, psychokinesis could rival any spell!
Of course, saying this out loud would sound harsh. Qin Muyin wasn’t his disciple, so he wouldn’t criticize openly.
"Thank you, Master Han!" Qin Muyin bowed in gratitude.
She only knew Han Li was a sect master. She had no idea he was also the head of the Reincarnation Bureau in the Xia Nation.
"No need to be so formal."
Han Li then looked at Chen Ye. "Chen Ye, this reminds ... During that last duel, you suddenly agreed to Adam’s disqualification request. And later, you told you’d act in the future..."
"Were you planning to deal with Adam?"
"Director, sharp as ever!" Chen Ye admitted. "Yes, that’s exactly my plan."
Han Li imdiately laughed. "Adam is ambitious and corrupt—he’s been eyeing Xia Nation for a long ti!"
"Your plan aligns with mine perfectly."
"However..."
Han Li sighed and continued, "I’ve always been weaker than Adam. He has his own personal instance, and it’s the Dragon Ball world—a world with sky-high power ceilings!"
"He already has Super Saiyan 2-level combat power. He far surpasses ."
"If he weren’t afraid I might destroy Earth out of desperation, he would’ve invaded us long ago."
Pausing, Han Li looked at Chen Ye and smiled. "Fortunately, Heaven has blessed Xia Nation—with your arrival!"
"I believe, with your talent, you can surpass Adam... When do you plan to make your move?"
"Director, you flatter ," Chen Ye replied modestly. Then he revealed his plan: "I intend to act during the next Martial Arts Tournant."
"Oh? Do you have confidence?" Han Li asked seriously.
Chen Ye thought for a mont and said, "There’s nearly a year until the next tournant. That should be enough ti for to catch up to Adam."
Hearing this—
Han Li imdiately shook his head. "Assassinating Adam isn’t sothing to take lightly. We need full preparation!"
"Chen Ye, are you worried Xia Nation might lose a city if we wait until the next tournant?"
Seeing Chen Ye nod, Han Li said, "It’s fine. At most, we’ll lose three cities—Xia Nation can afford that!"
"I’d rather give you an extra year if it ans you’ll absolutely overpower him. We can’t afford to miss and let the snake escape!"
Hu Zhong chid in too, "Exactly! Adam’s terrifying. He could wipe out the planet with ease. We can’t risk pushing him into a corner!"
Chen Ye thought it over, then said, "You’re both right. But what if Adam grows stronger during that extra year? If he reaches Super Saiyan 3... that’ll be a real problem."
"After all, I don’t know whether my own talent has a limit. If I hit that ceiling—and that ceiling is Super Saiyan 2—then..."
He didn’t finish the sentence.
But everyone present understood.
There had always been rumors that Saitama’s true limit was just Super Saiyan 2...
