Chapter 208: [175] Exercising power and nobility, murdering and robbing treasures! (Thanks to the generous support from Brother 7084)_1
Pei Jinye thought it over and decided to spare the woman’s life for the time being.
The art of mastering others with a mix of grace and severity was just right.
Pei Jinye didn’t want to be a madman who killed for the sake of killing, he needed “helpers,” someone to do the dirty work for him.
Although he had also instructed the butler to take care of the matter with the list.
But how could he entrust a task that required taking lives to an ordinary person with no real power? If something went wrong, that person would not be able to withstand the consequences.
And so, this woman named Feng Jiao naturally became Pei Jinye’s short-term target.
Secretly doing unspeakable deeds for the Jiang Family Head… that was also an important secret to her survival.
Perhaps she felt that by holding on to Elder Jiang’s secrets, she couldn’t easily be killed off, which was why she was so grateful to him.
As for leaking information, Pei Jinye wasn’t worried at all.
The psychic imprint had already been set.
For him now, silencing her would be a piece of cake.
Besides.
When the truth could no longer be concealed… perhaps he would no longer need the identity of Jiang Qingcang.
…
After Feng Jiao left the Jiang ancestral home, she didn’t look back, running ten miles nonstop before she finally stopped, her pretty face pale with fright, gasping for breath as she turned to look back.
“It’s too terrifying! Too terrifying!”
She repeated the same phrase over and over, feeling parched and dry-mouthed.
Although she had killed and tortured many, after experiencing that scene, her fear of the Jiang Clan Manor Head only intensified.
She had heard bits and pieces about how fearsome the old master was from Young Master Suhu.
Back then, naive about the world’s ways, she thought it was an exaggeration.
What was so frightening about an old man in the twilight of his life?
But today, she truly understood.
His moods were unpredictable!
He killed without blinking!
And the terrifying vitality hidden within him made her feel on edge every second.
She always thought of herself as cold and heartless, but now she realized she was just a small witch in the presence of a great sorcerer.
However, thinking about the command from the wealthy family head,
Feng Jiao felt somewhat perplexed.
She didn’t understand the significance of these arrests.
The arrests were primarily of criminals… Could it be that the Jiang family had reached some agreement with the official institutions to uphold justice?
After hesitating for a while and still not understanding, she stopped thinking about it.
The woman turned her head and sent a message to the Tang suit-wearing elder who stayed by Jiang Suhu’s side.
…
“Buzz buzz.”
Pei Jinye’s phone in the drawer vibrated.
He picked up the phone.
A message had appeared on it.
(Cheap Ren): [I just left the ancestral home, Black Gun betrayed us and got killed, I’m coming to find you guys.]
Pei Jinye tilted his head.
This phone belonged to the Tang suit-wearing elder who was with Jiang Suhu.
However…
The old man couldn’t be illiterate, could he? Even making typos.
But what concerned Pei Jinye even more was…
Could this woman be a blabbermouth?
He immediately used the elder’s phone to send a message to test her.
: [What happened over there?]
(Cheap Ren): [I’m also confused.]
: [Did he say anything? It’s important!]
(Cheap Ren): [He didn’t say anything, just killed Black Gun and let me go. Where are you? I’ll come to you.]
: [You don’t need to come. I and the young master have been locked up and are about to have our phones taken away.]
(Jian Ren): [Dying of laughter.]
…
Pei Jinye silently stared at the two characters on his phone.
“Dying of laughter?”
“Heh.”
After clearing his login traces, he quickly powered off his phone.
Before long.
The middle-aged butler arrived, holding a letter in his hand, respectfully offering it.
“Master, this is a letter from Young Master Suhu.”
Pei Jinye, of course, knew what the letter was about, but he had to play the part, and after looking at it for a while, he nodded and said, “If he wants to seclude himself for training, then let him be.”
“Don’t be angry, Master. Young Master Suhu is probably also inspired by you, hence picking up martial arts again. With Young Master Suhu’s talent, he may quickly achieve some results.”
Pei Jinye was utterly speechless with the guy’s wild guesses.
He fell silent for a while, then put down the letter.
“Bring some food.”
“Yes, Master.”
…
The middle-aged butler had just left from the back mountain when he ran into Uncle Jiang Suhu.
“Has father taken his noon nap?”
“It’s too late, if you have something to report, it’s better to wait until tomorrow. The old man is not in a good mood right now.”
“Not in a good mood?” Uncle Jiang Suhu was stunned, he hadn’t yet mentioned Jiang Suhu’s unauthorized experiment. He hesitated whether to go in and add fuel to the fire or not to enter to avoid being implicated.
“Dege, can you tell me what happened?” he looked at the middle-aged butler.
Although he was the master’s child, the butler had grown up with them since childhood, so he could certainly call him “good brother.”
“It’s about Young Master Suhu.”
Uncle Jiang Suhu was immediately shocked.
“Old Master already knows?”
The middle-aged butler nodded.
Uncle’s face showed pleasure, but he forcefully suppressed it, “What did Old Master say?”
The middle-aged butler looked at him.
Uncle Jiang Suhu quickly said, “I’m talking too much, since that’s the case, I won’t disturb the Old Master’s rest.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
The butler watched him leave, somewhat perplexed.
Young Master Suhu was just secluding himself for training, why was this man so overjoyed?
…
In the back mountain.
Pei Jinye, having finished a strengthening meal to replenish blood and spiritual power, returned to his bedroom.
Before long.
“Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns” began to operate.
He had to kill again next.
He must seize the time to build up his strength!
…
At 2:20 p.m.
A vibrating cell phone roused Pei Jinye from his spiritual power recovery.
It was Xu Tian’s phone.
That woman Yang Qingdan had arrived!
She was at the port, coming alone.
Pei Jinye pretended to be Xu Tian and sent a message, but Yang Qingdan called back directly. If it weren’t for Pei Jinye’s mutated ability to devour Xu Tian’s memories, he would have definitely given away the charade with the details.
Yang Qingdan’s voice came through the phone, “No need to pick me up, just send me the location. Are you sure they are from the Old Gods Association?”
“Not just the Old Gods Association, but also the Starfire Army,” Pei Jinye said using Xu Tian’s voice and tone.
“The Starfire Army? The Starfire Army is here too?” Yang Qingdan’s tone shifted slightly, “Do you need to leave Da Peng City?”
“After I finish this mission, I’ll head back.”
“Alright. If you really can catch one of their key figures, you could also get a promotion at the beginning of next year,”
…
He hung up the phone.
Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.
“Don’t blame me for being heartless. The seed you sowed the other day, today I will return your fruit,”
He had never forgotten…
He never wanted to provoke anyone on his initiative.
It was these people who kept pushing him step by step, using their arrogant power to bully others…
Pei Jinye hadn’t thought about the consequences too deeply.
All he knew was…
[If you provoke me, then be prepared to be killed by me!]
…
…
…
Beneath a surge of scorching heat, Pei Jinye clenched his fists, detonating a burst of air and conjuring a series of thundering blasts out of thin air, the stirred air whistling all around.
This punch was too ferocious!
Vitality roared, power fully unleashed, Gang Wind shook explosively.
It effortlessly shattered all obstacles before it, rushing forward fiercely.
“Bang!”
In the moment the air burst and blew,
Extraordinary Body: Vajra activated!
Extraordinary Three-Dimensional Barrier activated!
Extraordinary Body: Gang Fist activated!
Technique “Mountain Crumbling” activated!
Technique “Unbreakable Vajra” activated!
The ground beneath Pei Jinye and Yang Qingdan’s fight suddenly sunk and collapsed.
Yang Qingdan’s face drastically changed.
She had no idea what was happening.
She had just come to the location agreed upon with Xu Tian and unexpectedly encountered an assassination attempt.
Moreover, the assailant reeked of blood, so hot that it made her pretty face heat up.
She activated her ability, turning into a phantom in an attempt to dodge.
But for some reason, the environment around her seemed like a swamp.
The next moment.
The ground burst upwards, and Pei Jinye’s punch, hard as steel, tore through the air, bearing down on her from above.
This punch was straightforward and unadorned, without any tricks—just pure, ultimate violence crushing down!
The air, visibly undulating like floodwaters, shook frenziedly.
The thunderous rumble of vitality coursing through Pei Jinye’s body resonated like muffled thunder.
“Bang!”
Yang Qingdan didn’t have time to transform into a phantom; she was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground like a meteorite, churning up a huge cloud of dust filled with countless flying pebbles.
She created seven large craters before finally coming to a stop.
At the same time.
Pei Jinye didn’t pause for a second.
In fact, the moment he sent that woman flying, he had already charged over.
In a fight for survival, there’s no scene like in the movies where one sends their opponent flying, stands in place, and loudly boasts with cocky words.
Pei Jinye only knew one thing—
when she’s down, take her life!
His figure dashed instantly into the cloud of dust.
Even while the ground was shaking, in the span of dozens of moments, Pei Jinye’s body burned like a furnace, fiercely compressing the air.
Gang Wind crushed down.
The shadow of the fist oppressed.
In this life-and-death moment, Yang Qingdan, blooming in agony, cast aside any concern for her exposed fair skin, and in the spark of a flint, she let out an alarmed shout:
“Purify!”
The burst stream in front of her seemed to solidify suddenly.
In a split second.
The thoughts of running and attacking flickered through her mind.
But Yang Qingdan chose the latter.
One hand reached towards her waist to retrieve something, while the other hand moved as fast as lightning, fingers like hooks, aiming a clawed swipe.
Facing this swipe,
Pei Jinye’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
This woman’s Purify ability was stronger than Xu Tian’s by quite a bit.
But unfortunately—
It wasn’t enough!
Pei Jinye erupted with an aura again!
Telekinesis Activation!
Metal Telekinesis Activation!
Martial Fist Activation!
Kui Bull Form Activation!
The terrifying power exploded threefold.
In that moment, Yang Qingdan’s eyes filled with horror.
She swore she had never seen so many abilities from one person in her life!
The overwhelming power whisked her away in the next second, her whole body violently shaking, every muscle and bone cracking.
Before she could even fall,
a large hand suddenly pressed against her face.
As she descended through the air,
Yang Qingdan saw the man’s true face as he removed his mask, her eyes suddenly widening in astonishment.
“Why! Why!”
“Into the dream.”
The next second,
a giant Blood Spear pierced through Yang Qingdan’s spiritual world on the spot.
Countless memories poured in.
Pei Jinye, posing as Xu Tian, appeared in front of Yang Qingdan, killing her in both body and spirit, and instantly devastating this female Judge with a psychic power of 26.
Half a minute later,
Pei Jinye regained his will.
He exhaled a turbid breath from his chest.
“Finally dead.”
This woman was much more difficult to deal with than Xu Tian.
If it hadn’t been for him starting as Xu Tian and seizing the initiative, he might not have been able to resolve it so quickly.
In their last fight, this woman wasn’t nearly as strong… This was also related to Pei Jinye asking for a meeting in advance. In the meantime, the woman had carried out a secret mission… The memory fragments were very vague, but what was clear was that the mission was extremely difficult, and it had injured her.
“Judgment Place… I must be careful when dealing with them in the future!”
It was then.
A black device from the woman’s waist fell to the ground.
Pei Jinye’s eyes lit up slightly.
If it wasn’t for the mention in the woman’s memories, he might not have recognized it as a “Sealing Object.”
A Sealing Object is different from a Cursed Object, the latter of which brings misfortune, with minor cases leading to frequent mishaps, and severe cases causing death by choking on water.
Sealing Objects, however, are made from extraordinary materials and serve as a unique kind of magic weapon.
In a sense, the word “seal” already indicates their purpose.
Of course, the extent of the seal depends on the grade of the Sealing Object itself, with the highest being S-level and the lowest F-level.
And the Sealing Object Pei Jinye was examining at that moment…
“Sealing Object D13: Earth Magnet Sand Map!”
