Chapter 476: [370] Breakthrough! Transcendent Advancement! (4K for monthly pass and recommendation)_1
“Demon King!”
Somewhere in Nagano.
Lou Hai was ecstatic.
Incredibly, following the Demon King’s instruction, they had managed to empty a secret warehouse belonging to the Sand Flame Association without mobilizing a single soldier.
“All brothers, take what you want; choose anything you like.”
The generosity of Pei Jinye left all the Old Gods Association members present, including Lou Hai, endlessly grateful.
The items in this warehouse of the Sand Flame Association were numerous and valuable.
Usually, to obtain such items from headquarters, they had to rely on many Merits Points to exchange for them.
But now, with just one word from the Demon King, they had gained almost a year’s worth of resources; even if they couldn’t carry everything, their sense of loyalty to the Demon King naturally deepened.
Lou Hai felt this way even more so.
Previously, he was watching the show in the mountains, but it almost cost him his life.
If not for Pei Jinye stepping in, he might only be able to contact the world above through burning paper by now.
“Demon King, I really owe you big this time.”
The rest also looked at Pei Jinye with heartfelt gratitude.
“All right, family doesn’t speak of two households; follow me, and from now on, that’s the rule,” said Pei Jinye magnanimously. Regardless of his true thoughts, at least his words displayed a grand vision.
Moreover.
He had obtained quite a few items from the hands of the Gu siblings.
It was also thanks to the Storage Pendant sent by the little brother from the North Continent that he could carry so many items; without this pendant, he probably wouldn’t have been able to fit everything.
He had to admit that the space inside this pendant was at least ten times larger than the one he had before.
No wonder even Lou Hai envied it…
It was big enough to pack up and take away all the resources in front of them in one go.
This was evidence enough!
“Where do we go next?” Lou Hai was brimming with excitement, as if he couldn’t wait to go on another plundering spree right now.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle, “Are you addicted now?”
“It’s just too much generosity,” Lou Hai said, somewhat embarrassed, rubbing his hands together.
Pei Jinye chuckled again, but shook his head, “It’s too late for today. The base’s situation has already been discovered by the Sand Flame Association, and those guys are now on full alert. We should head back.”
Hearing this, Lou Hai and the Confidential Clerks of the Old Gods Association behind him all felt disappointed, but nobody questioned Pei Jinye’s words.
Not an exaggeration to say,
These people were now virtually ready to follow Pei Jinye’s commands without hesitation.
Lou Hai opened a vortex transport tunnel.
After letting the brothers from the Old Gods Association go first, Pei Jinye was finally sent back to Da Peng City by Lou Hai. Before Lou Hai could say anything, his complexion suddenly changed.
“Damn, the Elder wants to see me.”
He was somewhat panicked.
Tonight’s action was completely off the record and without any prior notice.
If the Elder really wanted to administer punishment, he, as an attendant officer, definitely couldn’t escape it.
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrow upon hearing this and took out a fishing rod from the pendant, “Don’t worry, the Elder won’t give you a hard time with this Golden Dragon Fishing Rod.”
Lou Hai was astonished by the exquisite patterns on the fishing rod.
He couldn’t understand who would embed grains of Flame Essence into it; it almost seemed as if something was swimming through the light and shadow.
But since the Demon King said so, he took it without hesitation.
As he turned to leave, there was a certain heroic sorrow in his departure.
Pei Jinye found it amusing.
But he didn’t take it to heart.
The Elder was a reasonable man… probably… maybe.
…
When Pei Jinye returned to the Jiang family,
Lou Hai was kneeling before Elder Inorganic, holding up the Golden Dragon Fishing Rod, and recounting the events in detail when the rod suddenly lightened in his hands.
“This clever boy…” Elder Inorganic examined the fishing rod in his hand, “Is this trying to appeal to my interests?”
This matter proceeded without his order; his people acted on their own, clashing with the Sand Flame Association… and even resulting in Gu Wantao having no descendants left.
“It must be that kid’s doing.”
Elder Inorganic ran his fingers over the Flame Essence embedded in the fishing rod.
“This clever boy.”
Storing away the rod,
Elder Inorganic returned to his usual cold demeanor, “Go and accept your punishment.”
“Yes,” said Lou Hai, his face pale as he bowed his head.
Just as he was about to leave,
The voice of Elder Inorganic came again.
“If anyone asks, say it was under my instruction.”
“Yes, Elder,” Lou Hai’s expression lit up.
Having the Elder’s word or not was a matter of life and death.
At least now, his life was spared.
If it had happened in the past, the outcome might not have been so favorable.
After Lou Hai left, he was extremely grateful to Pei Jinye.
Apart from thankful for the Elder’s grace in sparing his life, he was even more grateful for Pei Jinye’s effort.
If it wasn’t for Pei Jinye showing his stance, Lou Hai didn’t dare to imagine how the Elder might have punished him.
For a personal guard to privately contact the frontline troops… the mistake was severe.
However, Elder Inorganic’s handling of the situation this time was somewhat lenient.
A shadow slowly coalesced.
Kneeling on one knee.
Elder Inorganic asked expressionlessly, “Where are the people from the Judgement Place now?”
“They followed the Demon King all the way to the harbor, then I diverted them,” the shadowy figure replied respectfully.
Elder Inorganic remained silent.
Just then, someone arrived through the air.
With Elder Inorganic’s gesture, the shadowy figure disappeared immediately.
A woman wearing a snow-white silk dress and Bai Hu mask appeared, “Didn’t we agree to keep a low profile for the time being? Why have you attracted the attention of the Judgement Place? I’ve heard that the Seraphim have descended upon the Western Continent… could it be targeting us?”
“I’m investigating, but it’s of no concern. Even that Divine Envoy who personally came all those years ago returned in defeat,” replied Elder Inorganic indifferently, “Is this why you’ve come?”
