Chapter 471: In the Name of the Demon King, Walking (4k for monthly tickets and recommendations)_2
A delicate cloth wiped over the mahogany dining table.
Not long after,
the room’s door closed.
Everyone retreated outside the door, bowing their heads and quickly leaving.
In the woods behind the mountain,
the elder slowly raised his hand, following the practice of cultivation.
Not long after,
four golden lotuses materialized above his head.
Jiang Qingcang’s figure reappeared in Da Peng City.
No one would have thought that a person who should have died was living under their noses in another identity.
Regarding the strict system of the Jiang family, Pei Jinye had no intention of correcting it; he also had to appreciate that it was precisely this system that trained the people’s hearts, saving him a lot of trouble.
Staying with the Jiang family meant he didn’t have to worry about cultivation resources for a while.
The integration of the business had come to an end.
In addition, the Wu family’s current turbulence provided the Jiang family with a breather, giving them a chance to expand their territory and gather more resources, a task he had already assigned to Lin Xinorth.
He hoped this guy wouldn’t disappoint him.
Pei Jinye raised his hand, and a big bluebird rushed toward him through the forest, landing steadily on his arm. Its spirited eyes were brighter than before.
Pei Jinye thought of the giant eagle he controlled in the Western Continent. He had no idea where it had wandered off to now.
But Pei Jinye had no time to take care of it.
The fierce beasts under his control were not few; one more or one less did not make much of a difference to him.
The key was his own strength!
The upper limit of the three attribute points on the attribute panel still stayed at 399.
After consecutive fights, a lot had been consumed.
The supplies in the space pendant were almost exhausted. Only after returning to the Jiang family had he finally replenished some.
Very soon,
night was about to fall.
“Buzz, buzz.”
A message suddenly came through the encrypted communication channel of the Old Gods Association.
Silver Art: “Demon King, Lou Hai is looking for you. The situation is urgent. Contact him immediately.”
Pei Jinye directly responded with brainwaves: “Location.”
Silver Art: “Bar, new location, 1176 Cai Xin Road.”
Pei Jinye opened his eyes.
He touched the void.
The giant python waking up from its slumber shook its head awake.
Pei Jinye stood up, fastened his mask, and said, “Take good care of the house.”
Then he vanished on the spot.
…
…
Inside the bar.
Silver Art sat in a corner near the door, staring blankly with a poker face.
Little Red Luo sat beside him, chewing bubble gum. Meeting Lou Hai’s gaze, she popped a bubble with a “snap.”
Lou Hai silently diverted his gaze.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that several of his colleagues in Da Peng City were somewhat “unconventional.”
“Click.”
The door handle turned.
All eyes almost simultaneously shifted in that direction.
“Demon King.”
“Demon King, you’re here.”
“Brother Demon King.”
Several voices sounded at once.
Pei Jinye walked into the room with his usual expression.
The door closed with a “click.”
“What do you need?”
Lou Hai spoke quickly, “A fight.”
“Why didn’t you find me? I’m pretty good at fighting, too.”
Just then, Silver Art tilted his head in confusion and asked.
Lou Hai: “…Next time.”
Silver Art was dissatisfied.
However, Lou Hai really couldn’t delay and looked at Pei Jinye pleadingly.
“The order came directly from the Elder, and I’m not going to lie to you, a lot of people have already gone,” he said. “I’m afraid if we leave later, we won’t even get a sip of soup.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows, “Then let’s go.”
Lou Hai activated his ability.
A vortex appeared.
Looking back.
Little Red Luo seemed to want to follow, but Pei Jinye patted her little head, “When the time is right next time, I’ll take you.”
He glanced at the Silver Art.
Silver Art knew what he meant and nodded in understanding—she definitely hadn’t forgotten the task Pei Jinye had given her before.
Then Pei Jinye followed Lou Hai into the vortex.
Almost instantly.
Sand flew into their faces. Lou Hai skillfully turned around to avoid eating sand.
He stole a glance.
Pei Jinye made no superfluous movements; the sand had not even touched his face before it was automatically diverted.
Lou Hai’s heart shook.
It hadn’t been that long since their last encounter, and the Demon King’s strength had improved significantly.
That meant there was assurance for this challenge!
The glaring lights shone in the vicinity, and on the surrounding hillsides, figures stirred.
Pei Jinye frowned slightly, “What on earth has happened here?”
Lou Hai whispered, “A group of people from the North Continent has arrived, led by someone named Kun Sheng. Upon arrival, he issued a direct challenge, declaring that anyone who could defeat him would obtain an S-level Sealing Object from him.”
“An S-level Sealing Object.” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow. “How many does he have on him?”
“The details are unclear, but someone saw him pull out at least three when dealing with the Sand Flame Association, and the Sealing Objects in his Storage Space are at least Super S-level.”
“What are you waiting for, why haven’t the experts from headquarters taken him down directly?” Pei Jinye said succinctly.
Just kill and take by force.
Who would really talk about rules?
Lou Hai smiled bitterly, “The Elders would like to, but this Kun Sheng has a significant background—his father is Sword Ten, known in the North Continent as the second-best swordsman in the world…”
“His father is Sword Ten?” Pei Jinye looked surprised and immediately grew serious.
Lou Hai hurriedly added, “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant; I didn’t finish speaking. His father is a direct disciple of Sword Ten, and he himself is a Ninth Rank Strongman. The headquarters means that a contest is acceptable, as long as the other party doesn’t do anything out of line, they can turn a blind eye.”
“…” Pei Jinye looked over with a deep gaze, “Can’t you just say everything in one sentence next time?”
Lou Hai grinned sheepishly.
But Pei Jinye still felt somewhat uninterested.
“What does the Elder mean? He wants me to make a move?”
Noticing the change in Pei Jinye’s tone, Lou Hai’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, “The Elder didn’t mean it that directly; it’s more like he mentioned that you seemed rather short on Sealing Objects, so he dropped a hint, and I came to fetch you covertly.”
He didn’t dare to tell Pei Jinye that Elder Wuji’s original words were, “Lest that kid covets my sword every day, this fool from the North Continent who’s willing to be the Good Money Boy might as well do it. If that kid has any ideas, he’ll take action on his own.”
After Lou Hai finished, he cautiously observed Pei Jinye’s expression.
Pei Jinye remained silent.
He wasn’t someone who liked to show off.
Exposing one’s card simply to steal the limelight was, in his opinion, a foolish act.
Lou Hai thought Pei Jinye had become interested in Kun Sheng, so he explained in a low voice, “This Kun Sheng is from the North Continent and is quite belligerent. Judging by his posture, he seems to have the strength of an Extraordinary Fourth Rank, and he’s planning to step on the elite young generations of the Western Continent as stepping stones.
Although his ambition is wild, one can’t deny that the guy is indeed strong, especially his Martial Arts cultivation which is at the Organ Refining Realm, a force not to be underestimated. It’s said that he has already defeated the young generation of the Sand Flame Association.”
Pei Jinye listened quietly, offering no comment.
At that moment.
On a nearby hill, a man built like a small mountain suddenly stamped his foot and bellowed, “Nonsense! A mere boy from the North Continent can’t scare the Heavy Equipment Association with just a few words! Even if I, Iron Some, am not his match, I must fight him to the death!”
The voice roared.
The ground itself seemed to tremble.
“Brother Iron, don’t be rash!” Someone beside him tried to hold him back.
But with a stern face, Iron Hawk strode forward, directly confronting Kun Sheng who looked entertained on the stage, “I will fight you, not for the magic weapon but to tell you, do not underestimate that there are no men in the Western Continent!”
…
“Members of the Heavy Equipment Association are generally born with great strength, and although they relate to Artifact Refining, some of them have no weak Martial Arts aptitude either. Iron Hawk is one, but against that man from the North Continent… I’m not optimistic,” murmured Lou Hai, standing by Pei Jinye’s side.
Pei Jinye replied with an indifferent “Oh.”
Lou Hai: “…”
What he didn’t know was that Pei Jinye had already shifted his gaze from Kun Sheng to the indignant young members of the Heavy Equipment Association.
“Talent for Artifact Refining?”
As he thought about it.
From the distant stage, Kun Sheng’s mocking laughter rang out, “A waste of space, it’s easy for you to talk big, but it’s a pity, I don’t need a second move to kill you.”
Iron Hawk took a deep breath, and suddenly a heavy hammer materialized behind him.
The air vibrated with a thunderous noise.
“Wait!”
Just as the battle was about to break out, suddenly someone intervened with force!
