Chapter 769: Sister will take you to make a lot of money (asking for monthly passes and subscriptions)_1 Chapter 769: Sister will take you to make a lot of money (asking for monthly passes and subscriptions)_1 The battle of Ninth Rank was enough to destroy this mountain range.
However, Elder Wuji and Candle seemed to be aware of the lethal power they would unleash if they went all out, so both held back.
Even so.
Candle was still wounded by Elder Wuji and fled far away, likely not daring to return to the Old Gods Association’s Headquarters for a short time.
“Elder.” Pei Jinye nodded in greeting as Elder Wuji returned.
“That guy is a lunatic, he’s always coveted the Demon Bone in your body… But the Demon Bone is indeed troublesome,” Elder Wuji frowned, “When the Heavenly Demon Kyo achieved the Unparalleled Demon Body, I indeed worried about whether you would be influenced by it…”
“If it really comes to that, I will ask for your help,” Pei Jinye also made a bottom-line promise and suddenly smiled, “Elder wouldn’t stand by and watch me die, right?”
Elder Wuji looked at him seriously, “As long as you know what’s in your heart, I won’t intervene in your affairs, that was the promise I made to you before.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
Pei Jinye acknowledged with a nod.
This pair, not in a master-disciple relationship but surpassing one, caused Bai Hu to sneer repeatedly.
“I’m saying, you brat, the fact that you could drive Candle away is kind of incredible,” she said.
Pei Jinye looked over and said matter-of-factly, “If not for considering your face, I would kill him as easily as slaughtering a chicken.”
“…” Bai Hu said mournfully, “Calling you fat and you’re huffing and puffing, huh? Elder, aren’t you going to manage your Demon King?”
Elder Wuji didn’t even bother with the crazy woman, turned to Lou Hai, “Take Silver Art back to headquarters to heal.”
He then looked at Silver Art, “Extraordinary Fourth Rank is still too weak, I will arrange special training for you next, so you can assist the Demon King sooner.”
“Yes, Elder.” Silver Art pouted, looking towards Pei Jinye, who gave her a reassuring glance, and she was put at ease.
After Lou Hai left with Silver Art.
Elder Wuji glanced at Bai Hu, then turned to Pei Jinye, “Don’t worry about Candle, I will deal with him next, he really went too far this time, no one can protect him.”
Hearing him say this, Bai Hu gave him a resentful glance and decided not to get involved in the struggle between these two bigwigs.
“Wuji, I hope you can understand me, I’m in business, there are some matters I won’t get involved in.”
Elder Wuji said indifferently, “As long as you’re clear on that.”
Just as Pei Jinye was about to say something, he suddenly received a transmission from Elder Wuji, “She has a collaboration she wants to discuss with you, you can take at least sixty percent, take it or leave it. Don’t let her bewitch you.”
Elder Wuji then departed.
Pei Jinye looked at Bai Hu, “Sister, why haven’t you left yet?”
“Can’t I want to spend more time with you?” Bai Hu gave him a look and then chuckled, “I don’t believe Wuji, the old fox, didn’t say anything to you.”
“He actually did, he told me not to be ensnared by you,” Pei Jinye looked at her intently, “Sister wouldn’t trick me, right?”
“Heartless.” Bai Hu immediately gave him a look, “Sister always thinks of you first when there’s a good thing, and here you are, wondering if Sister is going to harm you.”
Despite what she said.
Bai Hu had no intention of storming off in a huff.
Pei Jinye provided her with a way out.
Only then did Bai Hu give him a look and said, “A Federal team has detected an ancient ruin, and they’re transferring relics in the next couple of days. You work with my people, and together we’ll snatch these treasures.”
“Ordinary relics won’t be worth Sister’s concern, right?” Pei Jinye looked at her.
“It involves a civilization from the past, which might reveal Ancient Martial Arts. Besides, I think you might be interested in some of the Sealing Objects inside,” she said.
“Ancient Martial Arts?” Pei Jinye looked at her curiously, “As far as I know, much about this world’s past has been concealed, are you sure that before awakening to Transcendence, there really was an even more powerful world?”
“The prevailing view is.” Bai Hu spoke softly, “Through some ancient ruins, humans have used existing technology to decode the mysterious text that has been uncovered, and there indeed was a civilization we do not understand… and not just one, the oldest known civilization dates back fifteen thousand years.”
Pei Jinye pondered, “How far back can this newly discovered ruin be dated to?”
Bai Hu looked at him, “Are you in?”
Pei Jinye didn’t immediately join, but as Feng One, he contacted Xing Tian in the Dark Sea Space.
[Xing Tian.]
[I’m here, what’s up?]
[Have there been any newly excavated tombs recently? I’ve heard about an ancient ruin, but I’m not sure of the location. Do you have any info?]
[Give me three seconds.]
…
Pei Jinye looked up at Bai Hu, “What’s the situation with the personnel? If the Federation directly sends ten or twenty Ninth Rankers, my only fate would be instant death if I went.”
“You don’t need to worry about that, I am in real-time control of the intelligence and there won’t be the problem you’re talking about,” Bai Hu said.
She wasn’t deceiving Pei Jinye about that.
…
Meanwhile.
Xing Tian had already replied to Pei Jinye.
[According to my full network scan, I found three suspicious locations as described in your account…]
[The first location: Qingtong Tomb of Eastern Continent, discovered seventeen days ago; the progress of excavation is unknown. All information about the interior of the Qingtong Tomb has been sealed and classified as S-level by the Federation. I have no way of gathering any information.]
[The second location: Nanhai Tree Tomb in Western Continent, discovered twenty-three days ago; the network is also under an information seal. However, I still managed to find a satellite photo. From an overhead view, the excavated site resembles a large tree. Classified as B-level confidentiality. According to surveys, it is suspected to be a relic from a civilization that existed eleven thousand years ago.]
[The third location: Southern Continent Colorful Mausoleum, discovered thirty-four days ago; it’s currently in the final stages of surveying and excavation. This is the last cultural endpoint of an ancient tribe in Southern Continent from four thousand years ago. The Southern Continent authorities have already sent all discoveries to Federation Headquarters in batches.]
Pei Jinye was deep in thought.
The discovery of Eastern Continent’s Qingtong Tomb was indeed unexpected, being classified as S-level probably means there really is a significant finding.
Otherwise, the Federation wouldn’t classify it as S-level confidentiality.
As for the Nanhai Tree Tomb in Western Continent.
Even relics from eleven thousand years ago are only considered B-level.
…
“How are we dividing the spoils?” Pei Jinye asked, looking over, “Let’s make it clear beforehand, even brothers should settle accounts clearly.”
“Sealing Objects, you take six and I take four; if there’s an excess, you can have my share. But I want all the data to take with me,” Bai Hu said.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye shook his head and replied, “Impossible, since I’m leading the team, I bear all the risks. And nobody knows exactly how many Sealing Objects there are.”
“Greedy,” Bai Hu frowned playfully, “I’m even letting you have the Sealing Objects; you should leave some more for me.”
If this were someone else, they might have gone soft already.
But Pei Jinye was as tough as titanium steel, and he remained completely unmoved.
Bai Hu: “…”
Seemingly too lazy to keep up the act, she gave up and said exasperatedly, “Then you tell me, how do you want to split it?”
“I get first pick of the Sealing Objects, and you can have the data, but I must have a look,” Pei Jinye said.
Bai Hu sighed with relief upon hearing this.
As long as she held the data, that was good enough.
They immediately agreed on the spot.
…
Western Continent, Leiting City.
Boom, a downpour of rain.
Countless raindrops the size of soybeans descended from the sky; over twenty members of the Holy Alliance’s covert operations team, clad in cloaks and raincoats, lurked in the shadows.
When thunder roared, they could even sense the earth-shaking, awe-inspiring force.
The middle-aged man leading them raised his head to watch the torrential rain resembling a spill from the Milky Way and slightly furrowed his brow.
“Chen Tou’er, today’s rain is astonishingly heavy, everything within a hundred meters is a blur, we can’t detect any valuable information,” the crew-cut youth said in a low voice by his side.
Chen Junhai, the middle-aged man, spoke softly, “If we can’t see anything, it means the Federation’s people won’t find us either.”
“True,” the crew-cut youth lifted his head to look into the distance where the world was a vast expanse, and all he could hear was the sound of hefty raindrops fiercely hitting the ground.
Chen Junhai extended his hand, and the crew-cut youth promptly handed him a slim telescope, saying quietly, “Chen Tou’er, you really can’t see anything.”
Chen Junhai remained silent.
He extended the slim telescope and peered through the lens.
In the distance, the khaki tents nearly blended into the earth.
If it weren’t for having previously identified the location of the enemy, it would indeed be difficult to spot them now.
At that moment, a message came through the communicator.
Chen Junhai glanced down to check it.
After that, his expression subtly changed.

“What happened, Chen Tou’er?” the crew-cut youth inquired, looking over.
“Just received a message, the Federation has moved up today’s transport schedule,” Chen Junhai said in a low voice, quickly scanning the surroundings.
“Damn, good thing we came early, or we would have missed it,” the crew-cut youth immediately cursed under his breath.
Chen Junhai raised his head to survey the area, “Now the rain obscures our vision, and the terrain here is to our advantage. Xingshan, lead the brothers around to the back according to the original plan. Try not to use the Elemental Cannon; its power is too great and might inadvertently destroy what we’re after.”
“Understood.”
