Everyone in the Imperial knows that the circle of the Supremes has virtually no intersection with ordinary people, as if they belong to two different worlds.

It’s difficult for ordinary people to inquire about the news of the Supremes, let alone see them in person.

To gather information, one must enter the circle of the Awakened, especially the High Tier Awakened.

The Anomalous Management Division does not believe that they have much face within the Awakened circle.

In fact, quite the opposite, they are accustomed to using authority, so some people, even if they know the news, are not interested in reporting it.

Especially Ran Bingluan’s secret should not be publicized. If a private reward is to be set, one must find a reliable local intermediary,

and the identity of a Guardian Supreme is very suitable.

However, Chi Yang is not at all interested in this, "Arc Light Supreme, when the Anomalous Management Division needs me for a capture, I am obligated to help."

"But asking me to privately offer a reward exceeds my guardianship duties, I only care about protection, and Ran Bingluan has not harmed Celestial Hook."

"The significance of him to the Imperial is extraordinary," Arc Light spoke seriously, "Your guardianship duties are not limited to the Celestial Hook Star."

"Don’t tell me such empty words," Chi Yang shook his head indifferently, "Can you represent the Imperial?"

"Just do me a personal favor," Arc Light’s eyes sparkled, "You can name whatever conditions you want."

She and Qinghu are sworn enemies. Qinghu, whether in cultivation level or combat power, can crush her.

Arc Light can contend with Qinghu precisely because she is beautiful.

Qinghu’s appearance is rather ordinary, the type that gets lost in a crowd.

Arc Light’s appearance and figure might not rank high on Celestial Hook Star, but in Celestial Heart City, she would definitely rank among the top hundred beauties.

The rarest thing is that she’s one of the few female Supremes.

Generally, male Supremes are reluctant to develop romantic feelings with female Supremes—both are strong-willed, who should be on top?

But a beautiful female Supreme, that’s different—it’s only natural for men to love beauties.

If the beauty they love is also a Supreme—the tier bonus has an unusual allure for men.

Arc Light thrives on this, navigating the High Tier Awakened circle smoothly, enabling her to contend with Qinghu.

Now, she slightly exerts some charm, believing that Chi Yang, who hasn’t seen much of the world, won’t have much resistance, right?

Chi Yang paused hearing this, although he was surrounded by beauties, none inferior to Arc Light, but this was temptation from a Supreme!

Then he bitterly smiled, "Arc Light Supreme, don’t make it difficult for me, Guardian Supreme, guards one area’s peace."

Arc Light chuckled softly, "I’m not joking, as long as you wish to help me, the condition is yours to name."

Chi Yang fell silent, contemplating something.

At this moment, there was a "clap clap" sound, both turned their heads to look.

Nearby, an unknown person appeared.

This person sat on a large chair, clapping while watching them with great interest.

"Chi Yang Supreme has good fortune, having a beauty Supreme thrown into his arms, but isn’t it too soon after Nalisha’s untimely demise to do so?"

These two Supremes were not naive novices and were unmoved by his words, instead, reflexively exchanged glances.

Both were sure: this rogue is definitely a Supreme!

Soon after, they glanced left and right, sure enough, another figure appeared under the distant tree shade.

Chi Yang raised his wine glass for a light sip, then slowly asked, "Two Supremes have graced us, may I ask what business brings you here?"

In such situations, he could choose to sound an alarm and needn’t be polite.

After all, two Supremes going against two Supremes, instant kill is practically impossible. Just hold out a bit, support will arrive.

But clearly, things should not be done that way, opponents dared to appear openly, surely there’s something to rely on.

Not to mention, their arrival unnoticed by them indicates their cultivation level is certainly above average.

If he rashly alerts, it would make him appear timid and afraid, inviting ridicule.

Be aware, opponents arriving uninvited already implicitly carry some hostility, no need to further provoke them.

Otherwise, next time they might arrive without a word, directly attacking.

Also, the dignity of Supremes does not permit them to alert for help before understanding matters.

Chi Yang is still a Guardian Supreme, a dignified planetary guardian, wouldn’t he lose face asking for help without understanding the situation?

Qu Jianlei, hearing this, just coldly snorted, "It’s enough to recognize us as Supremes, does it really matter why we came?"

The words are very blunt, but the hostility is not strong: we are both Supremes, beyond the usual circle.

The reasons ordinary people fret over, can they affect us? Let’s talk strength!

However, their uninvited presence carries a somewhat unfriendly undertone, coupled with such words, at the very least, not taking them seriously.

Arc Light from the Anomalous Management Division, accustomed to looking down from above, wouldn’t suffer such humiliation?

She couldn’t help but snort hearing this, "Such bold words, are you really not considering the Anomalous Management Division?"

To say Arc Light is brainless is inaccurate, knowing the opponent is a formidable enemy, she first brings out the banner of the Anomalous Management Division.

Qu Jianlei snorted coldly upon hearing this, without answering, just glanced at the distant figure: over to you!

The paranoid hasn’t collaborated with Qu Jianlei much, but his Cultivation Level and experience make up for this shortcoming.

Two rookie soldiers need to go through many trials of blood and fire to become seasoned comrades.

However, two battle-hardened veterans only need half a day to become familiar with each other.

They may not achieve perfect coordination, but basic teamwork is certainly not a problem.

Without a word, the paranoid launched a direct Spiritual Attack, efficiently knocking Arc Light down on the spot.

Chi Yang reacted quickly; sensing the disturbance in the Spiritual Force Field, he flashed a hundred meters away in an instant.

At that moment, he was both shocked and furious, "You..."

The paranoid didn’t care about his reaction, flashing to Arc Light’s side.

He raised his hand and sealed the opponent’s Cultivation Level, "Anomalous Management Division... Bah, what the hell is that!"

Chi Yang’s body shuddered and stiffened for a brief moment.

He truly hadn’t expected that the opponent knew Arc Light was an Anomalous Management Division Supreme yet still showed such no mercy.

His instincts told him that whatever these two were here for, it wasn’t something trivial.

A major battle might be unavoidable... Forget it; Arc Light is already captured by them, so if a fight breaks out, it will likely end quickly, too.

No matter how it’s viewed, making a move now would be unwise, and calling for support is inappropriate—they still have Arc Light.

Chi Yang gave the man who attacked a deep look—this guy’s power isn’t ordinary; even I’m not his match.

However, clearly, within these two Supremes, it’s the man who clapped his hands who’s leading.

So he looked at Qu Jianlei and spoke casually, "Do you know Nalisha?"

This was purely for conversation’s sake. In fact, he didn’t like others mentioning his deceased wife, especially in a somewhat disrespectful tone.

Bringing up Nalisha now was just a way to find a conversational opening for potential maneuvering.

"I don’t know her," Qu Jianlei shook his head, answering flatly, "But she stole something from us!"

"You’re talking nonsense!" Upon hearing it, Chi Yang was furious; his feelings for his late wife ran deep, and he couldn’t hold back at such words.

However, in the next moment, he felt a shock in his head and immediately lost consciousness.

Before fainting, his last thought was—"Again with the sneak attack via Spiritual Attack... Despicable!"

No matter what, he had to admit that this kind of attack was indeed quick and effective.

More importantly, for them to dare attack so recklessly and knock a Supreme unconscious, it speaks to an overwhelming Cultivation Level and Realm.

When Chi Yang slowly came to, he was surprised to find himself also under Restriction.

Beside him, Arc Light Supreme was sprawled on the ground, with two sturdy legs exposed under the dress, still unconscious.

Qu Jianlei saw him wake up and didn’t beat around the bush but instead got straight to the point.

"We are the rightful owners; the items Nalisha took should be returned!"

"There is nothing of the sort!" Chi Yang again firmly denied.

Now, being in a disadvantageous position, he dared not use strong words like "nonsense," but he was very sure his late wife was not that kind of person.

"Ugh," the paranoid snorted, "Did it but dare not admit it... Let’s chop off this guy’s arm first."

Losing an arm isn’t a big deal for a Supreme; the cost of a Regeneration Potion is trivial.

But for a Guardian Supreme to be without an arm and let others know about it, that’s truly humiliating.

Additionally, fully recovering from such an injury would take a considerable amount of time.

If Chi Yang had plans to break through to a level above Supreme, it would be significantly affected—the Breaking Through time would be delayed by at least a decade.

Qu Jianlei didn’t care about what he said and coldly spoke, "I’ll give you a hint, fifty years ago, Celestial Blade Star."

"Celestial Blade Star... Fifty years ago?" Chi Yang first paused, then horror appeared in his eyes.

He glared at Qu Jianlei incredulously, "How do you, you know?"

"Heh," Qu Jianlei sneered, looking at him blandly, "Still being stubborn?"

Chi Yang’s heart sank; this old matter had long been buried deep in his mind.

But with such a clear hint from the opponent, how could he not remember? It was such a significant event, after all.

Considering this reason, it’s understandable why they dispatched two Supremes.

Nonetheless, he eventually calmed himself and spoke seriously, "How do you prove the items are yours?"

"Do I need to prove it to you?" Qu Jianlei looked at him, speaking with both anger and amusement.

"The rightful owner has to prove to the thief that what you stole is mine? It’s the joke of the year... Do you deserve it?"

The paranoid snorted as well, "A mind like this also being Supreme... truly laughable."

"If the items weren’t yours, would we bother coming all this way? Isn’t that enough proof?"

Chi Yang was silent, and after a while, he replied, "Those items are mementos left by my deceased wife, of extraordinary significance."
