Pei Jinye was resting with his eyes closed on his own bed.
He hadn’t expected the Lin Family Brothers to target him.
Initially, he thought that wanting to kill him over a Small Yuandan was far too ridiculous.
After devouring Lin Shentian’s memories, the truth became clear as day.
The Lin family’s old patriarch was now at the end of his rope.
Conventional medical techniques couldn’t prolong his life anymore, and someone in the family had resorted to unconventional methods, bringing in an Alchemist Awakener from the Southern Continent.
That Alchemist was very mysterious, and even Lin Shentian had seen him only from a distance.
The impression wasn’t very profound.
The figure was cloaked and had a tattoo resembling a battle axe on his wrist.
Had Lin Shentian not scrutinized the figure closely, he wouldn’t have noticed the tattoo hidden beneath the robes.
The figure said he needed a large amount of Small Yuandan.
Besides that, he also required 2 liters of blood from a newborn’s heart.
Lin Shentian actually didn’t know much…
The only reason he knew about the newborns was because he overheard it by chance and was brainwashed immediately upon discovering the information.
Lin Shentian was put in charge of the Small Yuandan.
So far, he had collected more than thirteen hundred pills from the outside world. If he could get his hands on Pei Jinye’s five hundred, he would be one step closer to that person’s request.
According to his memories, he had spent a fortune on those thirteen hundred pills, and the price was not low.
Ironically, when it came to Pei Jinye, he acted as if he was shooing away a beggar.
In his heart, he never thought Pei Jinye would dare to refuse him.
A common boy from the outskirts, who had never seen the real power elite… That’s what Lin Shentian thought, so he assumed getting Pei Jinye would be a piece of cake.
Little did he know.
Pei Jinye was a demon in human skin.
Now his life had completely come to an end.
When Lin Shenying first approached, Pei Jinye didn’t take him seriously.
A student, boasting Extraordinary Fifth Rank, a bit naive, just needed to be taught a lesson.
But when Lin Shentian, an Extraordinary Seventh Rank, stepped in with the intent to kill, Pei Jinye couldn’t allow such a poisonous snake to linger by his side.
As for the risks…
Pei Jinye was all too clear about the Federation’s investigation process.
So he was completely confident he wouldn’t get on the officials’ radar.
As for Lin Shentian’s possessions, apart from cultivation materials, he didn’t touch money or anything like that.
One reason was there wasn’t enough time to launder it.
But more importantly.
His goal had been those cultivation materials all along.
For him, more than thirteen hundred Small Yuandan was no small sum.
Added to the over four hundred pills he already had.
This was definitely a considerable number.
He hadn’t expected that on the second day of his studies away from home, some kind soul would deliver supplies to him.
Pei Jinye gratefully accepted them with tears in his eyes.
He pulled up the attribute panel.
[New Extraordinary-Human Genes: Dark*Chilly Night]
[New Extraordinary Ability: Flight Shadow (Power in darkness increases by 10%)]
[New skill: “Fogging” (first two levels) Great Success 20%; Cold Seal (Great Success 20%); Exploding Fist (Great Success 80%)…]
Lin Shentian didn’t practice many cultivation techniques.
In his early years, he practiced the Basic Breathing Method, providing Pei Jinye with a Breaking the Limit level method.
His hand-to-hand combat skills were poor, largely relying on “Exploding Fist” and “Cold Seal”.
Only after starting to practice Fogging five years ago did his strength rapidly improve.
“To think that killing a fool could earn me a cultivation technique worth forty thousand academic credits,” Pei Jinye exhaled and couldn’t help the smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
“This one’s definitely a win.”
Lin Shentian had to die because he was a headache.
After devouring the guy’s memory, Pei Jinye confirmed that the guy had planned to kill him after the assessment.
Being targeted by the Lin family’s heir, the news would spread, and if he acted afterward, it would be more likely to raise suspicion.
It couldn’t compare to acting first at this moment.
Currently in Dragon City, the strongmen wouldn’t take him, a minor Third Rank, seriously.
Moreover, Pei Jinye had the traces handled by Judgement Place.
He had run through the scenario over ten thousand times in his mind, confirming the outcome, before returning to the dorm.
And because of this.
Pei Jinye was not worried at all.
As he consumed the Small Yuandan, his Three Attribute Values were recovering steadily.
By tomorrow morning, he might even break through his limit.
…
This time, Lin Shentian had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet, so he could only blame himself.
But as news of his death reached the Lin Family.
The entire Lin Family was stunned.
“Shentian… was killed?” a senior member of the Lin Family was dumbfounded.
In their understanding.
Lin Shentian, after all, was an Extraordinary Seventh Rank Awakener.
It’s not to say he could disdain the whole of Dragon City.
But at least he had his Domain, he shouldn’t have been killed by someone, right?
“Who is the murderer?”
“Still investigating…”
“Still investigating?” Lin Hengyu’s voice suddenly soared, “What is Dragon City doing? My son has been murdered, and yet they still haven’t found anything until now?”
The visitor fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, “Judgement Place and the Federation Special Office have both become involved. According to the clues they’ve provided, the murderer was only present for three minutes from arrival to departure.”
“Three minutes?”
The faces of the many high-ranking members of the Lin Family changed at the same time.
How powerful would someone have to be to kill an Extraordinary Seventh Rank in just three minutes?
At that moment,
The butler appeared at the door.
“Family Head, people from Judgement Place are here. They say they’ve come to investigate.”
Upon hearing the butler reveal the visitor’s identity, Lin Hengyu’s rage was somewhat suppressed, and he snorted coldly, “Feng Yu, you may have to personally look after your brother Shenying now.”
“Third Uncle, rest assured, Shenying won’t have any problems,” a robust young man said gravely beside him, then turned and left, gesturing for several of the capable fighters from the Lin Family to follow him.
“Third Brother, I share your grief for Shentian. It would be best to ask the officials what exactly happened? Whether it was because of our Lin Family, or because of alchemy…”
A middle-aged man beside him spoke in a heavy voice.
The complexion of those present subtly changed.
They were not afraid of the former, but the latter was key.
If Lin Shentian died because of alchemy, it meant someone was targeting their Lin Family… intending to completely disintegrate the Lin Family.
Lin Hengyu took a deep breath, “We’ll discuss this matter later, let’s see what the officials have to say first.”
The crowd dispersed.
Soon,
The people from Judgement Place arrived.
The leader was the middle-aged Judge whom they had seen earlier with Luo Zehu and the man in the white suit.
“Mr. Lin, my surname is Qin. My name is Qin Yan, and I have been appointed by Dragon City to take special charge of this case,” the middle-aged Judge nodded in greeting.
Lin Hengyu’s face could hardly squeeze out a smile. “Mr. Qin, please have a seat.”
After Qin Yan sat down, he raised his hand to interrupt Lin Hengyu just as he was about to order tea to be served, “I appreciate the gesture. However, the headquarters will have a meeting about this incident, and I only have ten minutes to learn about Lin Shentian’s life. I ask that Mr. Lin please tell the truth.”
“Of course,” Lin Hengyu said in a deep voice.
“Did Lin Shentian, or rather, the Lin Family, offend anyone recently? According to our retrogression of the crime scene, we believe the perpetrator likely used weaponry.”
As Qin Yan spoke, Lin Hengyu’s brow furrowed slightly, “What do you mean by ‘believe’? Can’t retrogression reveal that?”
Qin Yan’s gaze remained unchanged as he replied, “The murderer was fully prepared and probably used a shielding type of Sealing Object.”
“Sealing Objects?” Lin Hengyu’s expression darkened.
Qin Yan continued, “Even an Eighth Rank Strongman attempting retrogression could not penetrate this shielding layer. Furthermore, according to our investigation, he avoided all surveillance cameras from his arrival to his departure, so we can’t rule out that he has a more powerful gang behind him.”
Lin Hengyu’s expression grew even more solemn.
But in reality, he was more at a loss.
He himself was puzzled about whom the Lin Family could have possibly offended.
“As you know, in recent years, our Lin Family business has expanded beyond the Eastern Continent, and we have many dealings with the Western and Northern Continents. To say we have no business rivals would be impossible, but this kind of despicable act of murder… just for that money, it wouldn’t make sense.”
Qin Yan seemed thoughtful and then asked, “Or did Lin Shentian come into contact with any organization members in his daily life? According to our current investigation, he was buying Small Yuandan lately…”
Lin Hengyu’s heart skipped a beat, “Is that so?”
Alchemically concocted Dan Medicines are contraband, and if found by the Investigation Team, it would not bode well for the Lin Family.
Now hearing that Lin Shentian’s purchase of Small Yuandan had been discovered by Judgement Place, Lin Hengyu felt a sense of urgency and displeasure.
He blamed Lin Shentian for being careless.
In the following conversation with Qin Yan, Lin Hengyu became very cautious.
Right up until the end.
Lin Hengyu spoke up, “Have you found Shentian’s body?”
“Sorry, we’re still looking. We’ll notify the Lin Family immediately once we do…” Qin Yan was saying.
Suddenly, his communicator emitted a tone.
He glanced at Lin Hengyu and answered the call, “This is Qin Yan. Go ahead.”
“Among the personnel being checked, we’ve identified a suspicious individual, currently on the national highway just outside Dragon City, seemingly heading towards the Snow Dragon Mountain Area.”
“I understand. Arrange manpower for control.”
Qin Yan rose to his feet.
Lin Hengyu hastily said, “Mr. Qin, regardless, if the murderer has really been found, the Lin Family can deploy an Eighth Rank Transcendent. This way, your chances of success will be greater. I have reason to suspect that there is a powerful organization behind this, possibly even Rebel Army involvement!”
Qin Yan hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
It wasn’t long before
The Lin Family began to mobilize.
…
At the same time elsewhere,
Pei Jinye rested for a moment before leaving the dormitory by himself.
Zhong Taishu opened his eyes, watched Pei Jinye leave, and after some hesitation, decided to get some good sleep.
In a secluded area outside Dragon City,
Pei Jinye began his cultivation.
After shielding his surroundings, he started practicing “Fogging”.
He and Lin Shentian were different.
Lin Shentian relied on the hundreds of billions of wealth of the Lin Family to cultivate up to Extraordinary Third Rank; his martial arts aptitude was at best slightly stronger than an ordinary person’s.
In terms of martial arts aptitude, he wasn’t even qualified to carry Pei Jinye’s shoes.
Enhanced by a hundred times talent, he entered concentration instantly.

In his memory, it took Lin Shentian a full three months to reach a state of concentration when he first practiced “Fogging”.
However–
For Pei Jinye, it took only an instant!
As the cultivation technique proceeded, Pei Jinye’s hands gradually began to vaporize.
On the attribute panel, proficiency skyrocketed!
