Chapter 470: In the Name of the Demon King, Walking (4k for monthly tickets and recommendations)_1
“What a pity.”
Pei Jinye severely underestimated the power of Mutation.
After strengthening his arm, he performed a specialized Mutation on the Longsword.
With one strike, a person’s life was extinguished.
“What a pity.”
A Body Technique System Transcendent had just vanished before his eyes.
Pei Jinye’s “regret” almost led him to slap himself.
“Why go to the extreme of dealing a death blow?”
He turned his head.
Looking at the patrol boat entering the distant harbor.
Pei Jinye silently disappeared.
Blowing up the old Cui Family house in Savage Mountain City was just a minor effort.
As for the identity of the person wanting to kill him from the shadows, there had been no sign of them thus far.
“Cultivate first!”
Murderous intent surged in Pei Jinye’s eyes.
Devour, evolve—these were his biggest trump cards!
What did the mess in Savage Mountain City and Ghost Mountain Market have to do with him, Pei Jinye!
…
…
In Central Continent Dawn City.
Pei Jinye looked distantly at Cui Min in the sickroom.
Unable to get close.
Because from the moment he arrived, he was already under the scrutiny of several experts.
“At least Sixth Rank!”
Two figures approached Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye did not leave immediately, but stood his ground with a calm gaze.
Because besides the two coming to verify his identity, concealed eyes still locked onto him from other places.
Should he make the slightest move, he would be cut down instantly.
“Alas…”
He sighed softly to himself.
There were more experts around Cui Min than he had expected.
If not for his composure at this moment, he would likely have been treated as an assassin.
The two Transcendents reached Pei Jinye’s side, positioning themselves in a way that subtly blocked his path of retreat.
One of them, expressionless, said, “Hello, please show your identification.”
Pei Jinye pulled out his wallet from his pocket and took out a card, “Come on, officer, can’t even stand here for a while?”
The other scanned the card and Pei Jinye’s face with a device.
[Xu Feng, male, 25 years old, no criminal record…]
After verification, they said indifferently, “Routine check, we hope for your understanding.”
Having said that, they returned Pei Jinye’s ID card to him.
The two looked at each other, said nothing more to Pei Jinye, turned and left, with one of them pressing an earpiece and whispering a few words.
Pei Jinye quickly felt the eyes locking onto him lessen considerably.
He pretended to stand in front of the water dispenser and, with the last two Coins in his pocket, bought the cheapest bottle of water. After taking a sip, he slowly left the place.
After leaving the hospital and walking two streets away, Pei Jinye felt the “gaze” upon him completely vanish.
But just to be safe in case someone was tailing with ill intent.
Pei Jinye turned into the nearby shopping mall, and after coming out, he had changed his appearance and attire.
Walking along the alleyway, he entered the bustling shopping district, went into a hot pot restaurant, and soon came out with another set of clothes, walking out nonchalantly.
“The old man does indeed look like he doesn’t have much time left; I’m still young, no need to take risks in a one-for-one showdown with you.”
“Time is on my side, I should be able to outlast you… It doesn’t matter how powerful you are.”
He looked back at Dawn Tower whose spire peeked out from behind the platanus trees lining the road.
A gentle breeze blew, and Pei Jinye’s figure, like a ripple rising on water, dissipated with the wind.
…
…
The foggy skies suddenly cleared, and a swath of sunlight fell upon the ground of Da Peng City.
An uproar suddenly emanated from Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
At this moment, just past five in the afternoon, the weather had brightened up.
And the entire kitchen of the Jiang ancestral home also started operating with a practiced efficiency like that of a machine upon receiving certain instructions.
In the exquisite dining room, a spot of sunlight fell perfectly on the dark satin-robed elder.
Zhong Xuan respectfully accompanied him at the side.
He couldn’t tell if it was an illusion.
He suddenly felt that ever since the elder broke through his limit, he appeared much younger.
“These are this morning’s news, and these are the accumulated greeting cards from yesterday…”
Over thirty greeting cards were laid out before the elder, but he didn’t even bother to glance at them, his expression unchanged as he pulled out the newspaper.
Da Peng City’s series of welfare reforms.
The side of the paper casually mentioned the conflict in Ghost Mountain Market, without disclosing the identities of those involved, merely reminding the residents of Peng City not to wander around recently.
“Master,” whispered Zhong Xuan.
The elder put down the newspaper calmly and looked up, “What is it?”
Zhong Xuan handed over the top invitation with both hands, “This is from the old Master in Central State, saying there’s an investment meeting regarding the new energy strategy layout in three days, hoping you could attend.”
“Let the president go. The Jiang family’s business is in his hands, his presence is only appropriate,” the elder spoke calmly, “The journey is long, and I am not well. I’d rather not join the crowd.”
“Yes, Master,” acknowledged Zhong Xuan, bowing his head.
Before the medicinal meal was served, he had already efficiently gathered all the materials.
He had taken out a notebook, expecting the elder to give some instructions, but to his surprise, the elder was as silent as ever.
It wasn’t until the meal arrived and the elder waved his hand that Zhong Xuan left, disappointed, with a notebook blank of notes.
…
Twenty minutes later.
The maids busily cleared the now empty dishes from the dining table.
The elder rose slowly.
His figure receded into the sunset.
A young maid couldn’t help but steal a glance at him; just as she was about to speak, she was fiercely glared at by an older maid beside her. The young maid quickly lowered her head and began to tidy up dutifully.
