You Chi immediately called back all the Outer Sect disciples, entering this area at two-minute intervals per group.

At the same time, he rearranged the patrol areas for each team based on the floor plan of the arrival hall.

Time ticked by agonizingly slowly.

Because once it hit six in the evening, the number of travelers at the airport would drastically decrease, and no matter how he staggered the staffing, it would be difficult to avoid arousing the suspicions of any observant individuals.

Although it felt inappropriate to think this way, You Chi still hoped the Outer Sect disciples would quickly "fall ill," as only then they would notice any discomfort earlier.

By 3:10 PM, the number of people reporting feeling unwell had grown to thirty-two, and based on their movements, the scope was further narrowed down to the pathways between the reception area and the station platform.

At 4:30 PM, a disciple reported spotting a suspicious individual in Channel C.

You Chi immediately connected to the disciple’s phone.

Through the phone camera, he saw a man wearing a mask and sunglasses pacing back and forth along the corridor. When no one was paying attention, he would make strange gestures towards the passersby. This corridor led to the airport’s dedicated shuttle stop, yet this person showed no intention of boarding a vehicle, nor did he have any luggage—likely not a traveler from afar.

You Chi promptly instructed a disciple to approach him.

The moment he saw someone approaching, his resistance was obvious; without waiting for the disciple to get within five steps, he turned and left. Once the disciple was distant, he resumed making gestures at the person’s back.

All of this was secretly recorded via the phone camera.

"It’s him!"

You Chi decisively concluded.

However, he did not immediately tell everyone to swarm in but instead made a call to the director.

After all, apprehending someone should be left to the law enforcement agencies. If the Outer Sect disciples forcibly restrained him only to find it was a mistake, the situation would become quite troublesome. If word got out, outsiders might mistakenly believe a gang had resurfaced.

Additionally, You Chi hoped to rely on his master’s connections to invite Chen Xuan over to participate in the final capture. For some reason, he felt that this person could see through truth and lies with just one look, and only if he nodded could they be certain.

By 4:55 PM, CDC personnel and airport police were ready.

Perhaps sensing the late hour, the person left the arrival hall he had lingered in repeatedly and descended the stairs.

"Not good, he’s about to leave!" You Chi felt a twinge of concern in his heart.

Further down was the underground parking lot, designated for private cars picking up passengers.

He must have a car down there!

If this person managed to get to a car, it would undoubtedly introduce new variables.

"What should we do?" the assistant asked. "The police said now is the best time to take action!"

Yet there was still no word from Chen Xuan’s side.

The master said the person did agree, but he didn’t have Chen Xuan’s contact information, and who knows where he was now.

Seeing the suspect about to enter the parking lot, You Chi had no choice but to agree, "Go ahead."

Two plainclothes police officers stationed at the bottom of the stairs received the action instructions and immediately entered the stairwell, just in time to see the suspect coming down.

"Stop!"

"We are the police!" Both were experienced detectives; one shouted to startle the suspect, while the other showed identification and reached to hold his shoulder, quickly forming a two-on-one pincer move.

The suspect trembled all over, instinctively waving the police away, then turned to run up.

But those stationed above couldn’t let him escape, blocking the stairway from either side.

The stairwell instantly became a dead end.

"What do you want!?" His voice was so agitated it changed pitch.

"Don’t be afraid, we just want to conduct an investigation," one officer immediately reassured him.

"Be careful... he’s very strong—" the officer who tried to restrain him earlier cautioned.

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly charged backward, akin to a tank, slamming the two plainclothes officers aside!

Seeing him break through and flee, the officers at the top of the stairs quickly pursued him.

"Don’t move! We’ll shoot if you run!"

They even brought a stun gun for this arrest.

Yet the man didn’t stop; instead, he moved faster! Even the well-trained officers were left ten meters behind in a flash.

When You Chi saw the suspect rush out of the stairwell, he knew the police’s blockade had failed. But he had a backup plan, positioning Outer Sect disciples at various exits ready for reinforcement. Despite it seeming odd for these people to join an official capture, he knew reputation was no longer the concern.

"Everybody converge on the underground parking lot from zones C to D, make sure to capture the suspect!"

"Yes!"

Everyone sprang into action, heading to the location You Chi indicated. One team of Outer Sect disciples reached the scene in just ten seconds and caught sight of the masked man in sunglasses sprinting away.

"That’s him!"

"Let’s get him!" Seven or eight people charged at him head-on, some going for the chest, others for the legs, with the intent to pin him down in one go.

However, to You Chi’s astonishment, the man weaved through them, toppling everyone in his way. The disciple holding onto his legs was kicked away, spinning on the ground like a top!

Such a scene reminded him of his senior, Yue Beifeng.

The issue was that his senior was two meters tall and strong as a bull, but this man was at most 1.7 meters and had an average build—how could he compare with Yue Beifeng?

The pursuing police also fired—the taser’s darts hit the suspect’s back precisely, the strong current enough to take down two or three adults, but he seemed immune to the pain, casually pulling out the wires.

This strength of body hardly seemed human.

In the blink of an eye, while You Chi was momentarily distracted, the suspect had broken through multiple lines of defense and jumped into an SUV.

And the nearest person was still two meters away.

No one could stop him from starting the car now.

The SUV roared out of the parking spot, nearly hitting a disciple who was chasing it.

"The suspect has gotten into a vehicle, requesting more support, we need a checkpoint to intercept at the highway exit towards Jiang City!" The detective urgently called Jiang City headquarters.

No, he wouldn’t go on the highway—that road leads to the city, why would he head to an area riddled with surveillance cameras? You Chi realized the suspect would likely switch to the ring road and then find an opportunity to abandon the car and hide in the nearby wilderness.

You Chi picked up his phone, ready to report this deduction to the police, when he suddenly noticed a figure appear on the ramp leading out of the underground parking lot.

The person wore a baseball cap and mask, but the jacket looked inexplicably familiar.

His heart skipped a beat!

This person... is Chen Xuan?

The SUV also spotted the person on the ramp, but the suspect showed no sign of stopping, flooring the gas pedal to accelerate toward the exit!

"No! Get out of the way!" You Chi couldn’t help but stand up from his seat!

Chen Xuan naturally saw the vehicle coming straight at him.

Not just the car, but the driver’s terrified and contorted face was also clear to him. With the Divine Eye Technique enhancing his perception, even mashing the smoking gas pedal only made the car inch forward—compared to a speeding bullet, the vehicle was sluggish.

Thousand Thoughts Sword.

Chen Xuan silently recited the technique, and two Qi Swords instantly appeared. They did not manifest beside their master but directly under the front wheels at his command.

One sword braced right in front of the right wheel, its broad back standing upright like a steep ramp. The other pierced into the left wheel, rapidly deflating the tire.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the SUV jolted violently, its right side lifting into the air! Like a beast scared out of its wits, it desperately tried to avoid the man in front of it, veering towards Chen Xuan, skimming past him, before crashing heavily into the retaining wall at the exit ramp!
