Father Pei’s smile suddenly became strained.
With a sigh in his heart, Brother Bi said with a smile on his face, “Uncle, you don’t know how great Jinye is. That kid is really cunning. Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn’t touch him.”
Father Pei felt a bit better, but when he saw Mother Pei coming over, he didn’t continue to speak.
After seeing off Brother Bi and Zhou Ye, he closed the door.
Mother Pei asked curiously, “What were you talking about? You don’t look well.”
“It’s nothing much, just about the case tonight. I still don’t know what’s really going on.” Father Pei didn’t reveal his own worries.
Mother Pei sighed, “I feel like ever since we awakened, the things happening around us have started to change. Has Jinye gotten in touch with you yet? He’s been gone a bit too long this time.”
“Don’t worry, he’s doing great things. How could it be so easy?” Father Pei reassured her.
Mother Pei then worriedly said, “Do you think our awakening as Transcendents has been exposed?”
“Rest assured, it hasn’t. That person is already dead and had no chance to speak out. I didn’t use any abilities when I took action, and your hypnosis is fairly discreet…”
Father Pei was explaining when suddenly the atmosphere in front of both of them shifted.
Because the TV screen, which had been black, suddenly displayed a line of text at that moment.
[It’s me, Mom and Dad, don’t alert anyone. Go to the study and open the tablet I left you. The network environment here is unsafe, put on headphones.]
The TV screen paused for a moment and then turned off.
Father Pei and Mother Pei looked at each other.
“That was…” Father Pei paused, but before he could finish, Mother Pei pinched his arm, and he winced in pain, looking at her with a sense of grievance.
“I told you not to talk!”
Mother Pei kicked him irritably.
The two of them went to the study next door.
They found the tablet that Pei Jinye had left for them in advance in the cabinet.
It hadn’t been used for a while.
Luckily, it still had 20% battery left.
After turning it on,
Pei Jinye appeared on the screen.
“Jinye!”
Father Pei’s heart completely sank.
…
…
Outside the building,
Before getting into the car, Brother Bi turned to look back at the villa where Pei Jinye’s parents were, and he sighed inwardly.
At that moment, Zhou Ye’s voice came through.
“Brother Bi, how do you think that person died so mysteriously?”
Brother Bi withdrew his gaze, “I know what you mean. This matter has already been taken over for investigation. If someone really wants to harm innocent people, the group won’t allow it. It has been emphasized over and over again by the group that when brothers are out on official duties, they must protect their families… If there really are traitors, even if they have the Headquarters behind them, no one can protect them.”
Zhou Ye didn’t understand, “Old Pei doesn’t seem like someone who would stir up trouble. Could he still continue to be an advisor if he offended such powerful backers?”
After getting into the car, Brother Bi sighed softly, “Since ancient times, those who rise to power do so by fighting alone. Old Pei has support behind him; it’s just that we don’t know about it.”
Zhou Ye was startled.
Brother Bi said softly, “As friends and elder brothers, doing what we can is enough.”
Zhou Ye snapped out of it and nodded heavily.
“Yes!”
The car left soon after,
and the lights in the Pei family’s home gradually all went out.
The safety of his family was Father Pei’s greatest wish this year.
…
…
Meanwhile,
In the Western Continent,
In Nagano,
In a certain place,
The Seraphim looked calmly at the crystal ball in front of him.
It displayed three potential routes.
“These are the suspected directions the Demon King took when he left. [Zero], [One], [Seven], go and investigate the truth. Report immediately if you find anything.”
“Yes.”
Three Judges, exuding powerful presences, kneeled on one knee before leaving the room.
Almost instantly,
ripples appeared in the room, and the distinct figure of a woman made of liquid traces became visible.
The Seraphim looked on calmly.
The woman revealed her form wrapped in silver waves and said enigmatically, “The Old Gods Association hides better than I had imagined.”
“It doesn’t matter,” the Seraphim said indifferently. “If the Old Gods Association could be so easily captured, they wouldn’t have been entrenched in the Western Continent for so many years. However, I am curious, who within the Federation is secretly in contact with them?”
“The Divine Envoy has already set off and is personally heading to the Federation Headquarters,” the mysterious woman said in a low voice, slowly lifting her head. “But Star Ring has given instructions, should we… acknowledge them?”
“That depends on what the Divine Envoy thinks,” the Seraphim replied without any expression on his face, surrounded by a holy aura, only his sharply contoured face somewhat visible.
The mysterious woman slowly nodded. “Then, what do I need to do next?”
“Have you found anything?” the Seraphim asked in an even tone.
The mysterious woman spoke gravely, “The Old Gods Association doesn’t seem to care much about the new Godson called ‘Demon King’. Our people have shown themselves, by right, they should take action… but so far, I haven’t obtained anything.”
“You’re wrong,” he responded.
Upon hearing this, the mysterious woman looked up.
“The Old Gods Association has made moves, just extremely subtly. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the work of Elder Wuji,” the Seraphim said slowly.
He caressed his crystal ball.
“Even a crystal ball that can detect the whereabouts of an Eighth Rank Transcendent shows an unusual display of three different routes… Within this, who is real, who is fake, or perhaps this is in itself an elaborate ruse by that old adversary.”
“So you’re still not planning to leave the Western Continent?” the mysterious woman asked curiously.
“Since I’m already here, I might as well stay for a few days, there might be some gains,” the corners of the Seraphim’s mouth slowly curled up.
It was rumored that Elder Inorganic of the Old Gods Association had once clashed with a Divine Envoy in their scheming.
During that encounter, the Old Gods Association lost a third of its strongholds.
But the outcome for Judgement Place was also bleak.
A Ninth Rank Extraordinary was forced to retreat, and dozens of High Rank Extraordinary Judges were injured or killed. That battle was what completely cost Judgement Place its control over the Five Continents.
This time, he came personally on orders to station himself in the Western Continent.
It was also related to the Old Gods Association’s continuous prominence lately.
Especially that new Godson called ‘Demon King’, even the God Envoy had made inquiries.
Judgement Place, or more precisely, the Federation absolutely would not allow the emergence of another prodigy like the one from years past within a rebel organization like the Old Gods Association…
“Do I need to find the Demon King myself?” the mysterious woman asked.
“There’s no need; he’s just an Extraordinary Third Rank, handing it over to Zero and the others is completely sufficient. You have another purpose,” the Seraphim decreed without doubt.
“But I’ve heard that the one from the North Continent was defeated by him, I fear it’s more than just Third Rank,” the mysterious woman hesitated to say.
“I’ve seen that sword strike, standard and by the book, but the control of vitality was good. The youngster from the North Continent just lost the initiative, what a pity…” the Seraphim said lightly.
The mysterious woman couldn’t tell if he regretted the Demon King joining the wrong side or if he regretted the unevenness of the North Continent’s swordsmanship.
…
…
Time flies.
Since the day before yesterday, after Pei Jinye had informed his parents, it seemed that nothing happening in the outside world would disrupt their training regimen.
But the act must go on.
Pei Jinye has been officially listed as missing on the surface.
About the specific reasons, Pei Jinye did not divulge, only saying that this time it was to complete a top-secret mission, and the enemy might be right beside them.
For instance, last night’s assassination attempt could have been a probe.
After learning all this, Mother Pei grumbled, having struggled for most of her life at the bottom, it was hard to finally live a good life, only to find out there were still those who wanted to ruin it all.
Pei Jinye only said the mission had no deadline.
After the conversation ended, Pei Jinye left a precaution in his parents’ spiritual world, setting up a barrier. Anyone wishing to perform hypnosis would first have to get past him.
And Mother Pei was becoming increasingly adept at hypnosis.
…
Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
[Free Attribute Value Light Ball 120 points +1]
After stepping into Extraordinary Fourth Rank.
The Attribute Light Group’s bonus to attribute points was quite delightful.
After adding 40 points to each of the three attribute values.
Pei Jinye’s vitality, physical strength, and psychic power attribute values had already reached 458 points.
In just two short days, his strength had surged once more.
The explosion of strength wasn’t just reflected in the physical strength attribute, but also related to vitality.
So after the rise of both attribute values, the increase in his power wasn’t as simple as just adding 40 attribute points.
Combined with his extraordinary abilities and Sealing Objects.
It’s hard to imagine just how powerful his punch would be now…
The Bluebird flew over at that moment.
Bringing an unexpected piece of news.
Judgement Place’s people had arrived in Da Peng City just three minutes ago!
