(Seeking monthly passes and subscriptions) Ever since the assassin sent to the Heavenly Technique Sect disappeared without a trace, White Bone Mountain began to suspect that something had gone wrong.
Until the second batch of disciples was sent out and disappeared like a meat bun thrown to a dog, they were truly alarmed.
“What the hell is Heavenly Technique Sect up to?”
“There were rumors before that Huang Zusong died; could they be true?”
“Sect Master, what should we do next?”
Everyone looked towards the White Bone Mountain Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader of White Bone Mountain was middle-aged and if he wore a scholar’s robe at this moment, he would completely resemble a refined and amiable gentleman.
One would never guess he was the infamous Demon Dao overlord.
“We’ll plan for this matter in the long run.”
Although the crowd was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Technique Sect for slaughtering their White Bone Mountain disciples, now that the Sect Master had spoken, they naturally dared not defy him.
After everyone dispersed.
Only one person remained before the White Bone Mountain Sect Leader.
This person looked burly but was rather astute, and he immediately said to the White Bone Mountain Master: “Sect Master, there must be something happening at Heavenly Technique Sect that we are unaware of. I know that Wu Sanfa once left Wanda Country and our people saw him return from outside, accompanied by someone. Although we don’t know exactly what happened, I think… if Huang Zusong really did run into trouble, perhaps they don’t know about the Dragon Vein yet. We should hasten our steps to find the Dragon Vein before Heavenly Technique Sect beats us to it.”
The Sect Leader of White Bone Mountain nodded: “That’s my intention too. Arrange for people to handle this, we must act swiftly and decisively.”
“Understood.”
…
[New Skill: Wan Technique Five Elements (Capable of containing and absorbing elemental techniques)]
(Description 1: Spellcasting time reduced by 80%)
(Description 2: Elemental technique power increased by 1%)
(Description 3: Elemental technique cultivation effect +10%)
…
As soon as Pei Jinye saw the updated content on the attribute panel, both his eyes flashed with excitement.
Not to mention the reduction in spellcasting time, which was within reasonable expectations.
The power of elemental techniques had also increased by 1%.
One should know that he himself was already bolstered by the Lord of Elements’ lethality.
To say nothing of a further 1%–even a 0.1% increase was a significant enhancement.
“However, if the elements are sealed, then this path would also be blocked.”
Pei Jinye thought for a moment.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
“I’m not an Element Master, after all; it’s just a matter of switching to another trump card.”
That’s confidence!
…
Three days later.
The people from the Heavenly Technique Sect appeared with a large number of Dragonfish, and there were also many unique products from Wanda Country.
Wu Sanfa only thought Pei Jinye needed them for cultivation and thus spent a fortune to purchase them.
Little did he know.
After obtaining these treasures, Pei Jinye started having the “Little God” join into the busy work mode.
As for the Little Centipede Monster, it had been sealed in the darkness without the light of day for many days and was finally let out.
It lay confused on the rock, struggling to prop itself up, as if it thought it was dreaming. Lifting its head, it looked towards the sky.
The sky was so blue, the leaves so tender, it wanted to eat…
It opened its mouth slightly, and its antennae moved.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense something; the movement of its antennae grew more rapid.
It confirmed…
This world was not the same as the one it knew before.
Just as it was about to move, it suddenly felt a gaze falling on itself.
The “understanding” cultivated over many days made it realize that any misstep would mean its demise.
The Little Centipede Monster lifted its head to look.
In the presence of this man, it had imperceptibly lost the will to resist; it felt more awe than anything else.
The creature knew better than anyone the terror of this man.
“I have never asked you to do anything, and I’ve been waiting to see what you will do, are you really afraid I’ll kill you?”
Pei Jinye’s murmur reached the Little Centipede Monster, scaring it so much that all its body hairs stood on end, and it instinctively straightened up its front half, trembling fearfully.
“Let me see what you can do, otherwise… just die.”
Pei Jinye’s words were always light and breezy.
But they could exert an enormous pressure.
Moreover… it was not even human.
The Little Centipede Monster was still trembling.
It wobbled its antennae twice as if trying to say something.
Wu Sanfa came looking over there, respectfully standing outside, wishing to ask for an audience.
Pei Jinye then shifted his gaze away from the Little Centipede Monster.
“What is it?”
“We just got the news, Huang Zusong previously colluded with White Bone Mountain because he discovered a Dragon Vein,” Wu Sanfa said cautiously, “Senior may be unaware, since the cataclysm a hundred years ago, Dragon Veins disappeared, and the ancient saying is that whoever obtains a Dragon Vein obtains the world.”
“Since the Dragon Vein has been discovered, where are the people from White Bone Mountain?” Pei Jinye asked slowly.
He seemed unconcerned about the Dragon Vein.
In fact.
After he personally killed Huang Zusong, he had already obtained the memory.
What Dragon Vein, it was just something created by the geographical environment.
Pei Jinye had already surveyed it.
Unfortunately, it was disappointing.
Using the Earth Element, he had directly transformed the Dragon Vein into Nine Dragon Veins, leaving it to whomever desired.
“We have already discovered that White Bone Mountain went there long ago, judging from the situation they’ve been gone for a while,” Wu Sanfa said cautiously, seemingly also intrigued.
“Do you want this world?” Pei Jinye asked back.
“This…” Wu Sanfa scratched his head: “I haven’t really thought about it, just instinctively felt, anything that everyone wants to snatch must be a good thing.”
Pei Jinye was speechless.
Shaking his head, he said: “Go and pursue the Dragon Vein if you wish, but at your own risk.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Sanfa initially showed some interest, but after Pei Jinye’s last four words, he withdrew his head and looked over dejectedly.
He had thought Pei Jinye had no aspirations for the world.
This further reinforced Pei Jinye’s lofty status in his mind.
Since Pei Jinye had spoken.
He then went back to caution those disciples who were restless.
The Protective Law Elder was puzzled: “Does he really have no interest at all? But why? That’s the Dragon Vein we’re talking about.”
Wu Sanfa glanced over with a look, replying irritably: “He’s a celestial being, can you really fathom the mind of a celestial being?”
The Protective Law Elder was stunned, then realizing the truth, scratched his head and agreed: “True.”
However, he was still a bit indignant.
Lifting his head, his eyes gleaming: “The people from White Bone Mountain brutally killed so many of our disciples, are we just going to let it go?”
Wu Sanfa stroked his chin, appearing contemplative: “We won’t get involved with the Dragon Vein, but… spread the news around, let the wind blow towards White Bone Mountain and let them reap what they sow.”
The Protective Law Elder’s eyes lit up: “Good idea. Sect Master, you really are the smartest person I’ve ever met…”
Wu Sanfa, looking annoyed, waved his hand dismissively.
All these platitudes you’re spouting have been used by me before. They’re devoid of any novelty.
…
The outside world was quickly embroiled in slaughter.
The matter of the Dragon Vein naturally led to an increasing number of forces getting involved.
Even the Imperial Family of Wanda Country was alarmed.
To think that right under their noses, the Demon Dao had discovered the Dragon Vein first. The Imperial Family was so furious that they stomped their feet and cursed White Bone Mountain for being heartless. They also declared that whoever dared to meddle with the Dragon Vein would face an all-out assault from the entire nation.
However–
Everyone just treated the statement from the Imperial Family of Wanda Country as if it were hot air.
There were even organizations deliberately blocking Wanda Country’s involvement.
If you had kept a low profile, that would have been one thing, but who doesn’t know how you royals established your nation?
Wanda Country is no Ancient Holy Light Kingdom.
Not many forces fear them.
Most importantly, they lack a solid foundation.
With the Dragon Vein gone, White Bone Mountain suddenly became the target of everyone’s arrows.
Everyone suspected White Bone Mountain of stealing the Dragon Vein.
But how could such a big Dragon Vein just disappear into thin air?
“Looking at the terrain… there’s more than one dragon, obviously.”
“Nine dragons, nine being the ultimate number, symbolizes eternity… If somebody could obtain these Nine Dragon Veins, they would reign supreme, standing unchallenged for ages!”
As rumors spread, more and more forces became tempted.
But there were also discerning individuals who noticed that nearby Heavenly Technique Sect remained firmly behind closed doors, seemingly uninterested in the Dragon Vein.
Some people visited to probe, and the definitive response they got was a complete lack of interest.
“What’s going on with the brains of Heavenly Technique Sect?”
“They really think they’re above it all.”
“To retreat from the world and not compete–now that’s wisdom.”
“There must be a master in the Heavenly Technique Sect.”
…
Thieves who sneaked into Heavenly Technique Sect overnight disappeared without a trace, and no one knew what had happened.
Even Wu Sanfa had no idea that someone had attempted to infiltrate the Sect’s gates that night.
Back mountain.
The forbidden grounds of Heavenly Technique Sect.
In the courtyard where Pei Jinye resided.
A figure dressed as an assassin writhed on the ground.
Upon closer inspection.
The Little Centipede Monster was currently at his forehead, burrowing relentlessly into his brain.
The pain was simply unbearable for an ordinary person.
The assassin begged for mercy, his pitiful screams having no end in sight.
Pei Jinye watched with an expressionless face.
His interest was not with the Heavenly Technique Sect, he would not get involved.
But those who targeted something belonging to Pei Jinye certainly wouldn’t survive.
Had it not been for the Little Centipede Monster volunteering, Pei Jinye would not have spared him last night.
Soon.
A sound of a skull cracking echoed.
The Little Centipede Monster burrowed into the assassin’s head in a flash.
Pei Jinye watched with a keen interest.
The assassin’s body shook violently, as if electrocuted, his whole being bleeding from every orifice.
It seemed as if his life force had already ended.
But unexpectedly.
The assassin, like a zombie, began by lifting his lower body first, with his upper body as if still not properly connected, stiffly and slowly straightening up.
“That’s a real zombie vibe you’ve got there.”
Pei Jinye commented.
“Master…”
The assassin spoke with difficulty.
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
Knowing it was the Little Centipede Monster controlling the other.
“Interesting. Move as best as you can. Let me see to what extent you can control it.”
The Little Centipede Monster dared not oppose Pei Jinye’s will.
Watching the assassin’s movements, slow and awkward like a zombie.
But Pei Jinye was not in a hurry.
He noticed that the extent of the assassin’s movements was decreasing in an angle imperceptible to the naked eye.
This meant…
The little creature was gaining deeper control over the body.
With this thought.
A sharp light flickered in Pei Jinye’s eyes.
Was the little creature’s ability body control?
But did it come with any enhancements?
He contained his curiosity.
Three seconds later.
He saw the assassin could already walk normally.
Ten seconds later.
The assassin was running and starting to accelerate.
Thirty seconds later.
The assassin could do front flips and side flips.
After one minute.
The assassin’s phantom image darted around the courtyard like a specter, accompanied by the howling of the wind.
“Attack me.”
It was then Pei Jinye spoke.
The next second.
The assassin resolutely took action.
Pei Jinye reached out a finger.
Techniques surged.

With a “bang,”
The assassin was sent stumbling backward, his body cracking all over, and then exploded into a mist of blood on the spot.
Dead beyond any doubt.
…
The wind was calm, carrying the scent of blood.
But Pei Jinye was smiling.
