A certain club.
“When did the Jiang family get involved with the Xu Family?”
“All the money has been taken by the Jiang family!”
“The Jiang family has gone crazy, they’ve got such a big piece of land and they don’t use it to build houses, they actually think about farming… Damn, why would the Xu Family help the Jiang family? It was supposed to be used for building houses!”
“Even the council members have been brought out by the Xu Family, this matter’s become troublesome…”
“Just luck for the Jiang family. The Xu Family can protect them for now, but not forever!”
…
Dragon City.
Night falls.
“Yo, finally willing to come out?”
Ji Yuyan saw Pei Jinye was also there, walked over, and said sourly.
“I invite you and you don’t come, but when Ji Wutian invites you, you do?”
“It just so happens that I’m free, if you had asked me two days later, I would have definitely agreed,” Pei Jinye said with a smile.
Ji Yuyan patted Liu Limin next to her, and he obediently gave up his seat.
“What have you been doing these past few days? You’re not even responding when I look for you. Brother Ye, you’re a busy person now, aren’t you?”
Ji Yuyan’s words were laced with sarcasm.
Pei Jinye looked at her and handed over a cup of cold drink: “Drink some water, you’re too hot-headed.”
“Looking for a fight, huh?”
But Ji Yuyan still took the cup of water, snorted softly, and reluctantly forgave Pei Jinye for ignoring her these past few days.
Pei Jinye had been in Different World for who knows how many years.
Looking at Ji Yuyan was like looking at a slightly jealous little girl; with a little coaxing, she obediently complied.
The meal was filled with laughter and chatter.
Before they realized it, it was already past ten o’clock.
Ji Yuyan looked at the sky: “Looks like it’s going to rain, shall we head back?”
Pei Jinye was about to stand up when suddenly there was a disturbance not far down the street.
“Universal salvation, lead to ultimate bliss…”
“Universal salvation, lead to ultimate bliss…”
Many people were running towards this side while looking back as they ran.
Behind them, a group of Black Robed people concealed most of their faces, and where they passed, shadows and miasma followed.
“What is that?” Liu Limin also noticed this scene, somewhat surprised.
The restaurant owner hurriedly rushed out from the front desk, closed the door with a bang, and pulled down the rolling shutter at the same time.
“What’s the situation, boss?”
“Boss, what are you doing?”
Inside the restaurant, many customers stood up, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
The restaurant owner, a man in his forties, hurriedly gestured for everyone to be silent, whispered in a panicked tone: “Please don’t talk, ancestors. If those people outside spot us, it could lead to loss of life.”
The crowd became even more uncertain and dared not approach the door.
“Did you call the police?”
“No signal.”
Some people whispered.
The middle-aged owner stood near the door, his face full of concern: “These guys, they are getting bolder and bolder. If this continues, who would dare to do business.”
“Boss, do you know those people outside?” Ji Wutian suddenly asked.
“I don’t recognize them.” When the middle-aged owner saw everyone looking over, he quickly shook his head to deny any acquaintance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: “But I’ve heard of them. Those people come from Ultimate Bliss Manor, previously active in some mountain villages to the north of Dragon City, which is not close to here. It’s a wonder they’d show up in Dragon City, it’s really weird…”
“How long have they been around?”
“About half a year now, I found out when a relative of mine passed through the area…”
…
“Ultimate Bliss Manor?” Ji Wutian looked towards Pei Jinye and Ji Yuyan.
However, no one knew what that was.
Clearly, the others didn’t know either, and as they were trying to ask questions with a buzz of voices, the frightened middle-aged owner quickly gestured for silence, implying if they understood the situation at all.
“Speak. I’ll tell you what I know, but can you keep your voices down? Those outside are all madmen. If they label you as heretics, you won’t even be able to save your own lives.”
The faces of the crowd changed slightly.
“They’re lawless… isn’t anyone going to do something about it?”
“Do something? Why wouldn’t they?” The middle-aged owner replied irritably: “But it’s useless. They claim to steal from the rich to help the poor, distributing the money they rob widely…”
Hearing the owner say this.
The crowd understood.
They had developed support at the lower levels…
The middle-aged owner said bitterly: “If you don’t give money, you’re heretics. If the Night Patrol Department’s people arrive in time, it’s alright, but if they don’t, who knows, you might even be carried off along with the crowd.”
“That’s outrageous!” A customer said indignantly.
After a while, there was no more commotion outside.
The middle-aged owner quietly opened a crack; there were no more people on the street, and many shop owners also began to open their doors.
Some unlucky ones who didn’t escape in time were seated at their own storefront, cursing loudly.
Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue didn’t look too good.
“Dragon City’s public security has become like this?”
Liu Limin cursed.
Pei Jinye was thoughtful.
“Let’s go.” Ji Wutian didn’t want to deal with such matters, to avoid trouble.
The group didn’t walk far.
Suddenly, a scream came from the alley behind them.
“There’s a dead person!”
Then came a wave of exclamations and curses, one after another.
“So many corrupt officials not killed, yet they trouble these people trying to make a living, these bastards.” Liu Limin couldn’t hide his anger.
Cao Yingjun looked down and said with a worried expression: “This is a bit abnormal. How can Dragon City still nurture such an organization?”
Ji Wutian didn’t show much reaction and said calmly: “It’s precisely because it’s Dragon City that many organizations are attracted to cause trouble here, after all, it’s a good opportunity to make a name for oneself.”
“Aren’t they afraid of being directly eradicated?” Liu Limin wondered: “There are so many Ninth Ranks in Dragon City…”
“Fortune favors the bold. But who knows what goes through those peoples’ heads…” Ji Wutian scoffed, “Most of them want to follow in the footsteps of the Old Gods Association… Do you know why the Old Gods Association remains powerful forever? It’s because their name is too big, and a lot of people flock to them.”
“…”
After returning to the dormitory.
Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun were still talking about the incidents on the street.
Soon, the school also sent a notice to the whole school.
The basic meaning is that recently things have been unstable, so do not go out unnecessarily.
However, those who should go out will still do so.
One night passed.
The next morning, indeed many students in the classroom were discussing last night’s events.
“Ultimate Bliss Manor, huh…”
“I heard there was a conflict last night, but the people from Ultimate Bliss Manor actually escaped.”
“They escaped? Are they that impressive?”
“Did the Night Patrol Department take a hit?”
“They did.”
“Holy cow, what’s the background of this Ultimate Bliss Manor?”
“Feels like there’s a big shot behind it…”
“Just wait, the Investigation Team is about to act as well.”
“My contacts told me, someone spotted members of Ultimate Bliss Manor in Baijing City…”
“Holy shit, they’ve covered a third of the Eastern Continent? Is Ultimate Bliss Manor growing this fast?”
“It’s spreading like a virus.”
…
Pei Jinye listened to these people recounting the events but didn’t take it to heart.
Recently busy with digesting the goods brought back from Wanda Country, he had no time to pay attention to these organizations.
This morning, he also claimed another Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragment.
By now, the Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments he had accumulated reached 21 pieces, meaning he could synthesize seven First Rank Extraordinary Genes.
Outside the school, Pei Jinye had anonymously rented a room.
He meticulously chose the location, paying twelve thousand a month–it was expensive.
“Golden Spotted Black Snake Meat… centipedes… scorpions…”
These were all excellent items brought from Wanda Country.
Their gene sequences had already been modified by “Little God”, increasing the Attribute Points they provided by one to two times after ingestion.
He made time to come here every day, each time eating voraciously as a whale would.
With the digestive capacity Pei Jinye currently possessed, even competitive eaters would likely fall short.
What was more frightening was that.
With his body physically strengthened, his ability to absorb nutrients from these foods far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Other foods could be set aside.
These were all highly nutritious substances.
Wasting energy like this was not something he could do.
Dusk fell.
Pei Jinye made a trip to Xu Wanxiao’s residence.
The Xu Family in Dragon City had directly bought Xu Wanxiao a villa, equipped with bodyguards and a maid.
“Mr. Pei, you’ve arrived.”
The maid greeted Pei Jinye very politely, bending down to help him change shoes.
However, Pei Jinye stopped her, “No need, I’ll do it myself. Where is she?”
“Miss is in the Practice Room.” The maid was a lady in her fifties and very polite as she led Pei Jinye there.
Pushing open the door.
Xu Wanxiao was practicing the[Basic Breathing Method], following the movements as instructed by Pei Jinye.
Turning her head to look.
“I still have some areas I’m not clear about.”
“Let’s hear them.”
Pei Jinye walked up.
The door closed.
An hour later.
Xu Wanxiao raised her head in surprise.
“I did it.”
Pei Jinye nodded, stood up, and said, “Just keep practicing at this pace.”
He was ready to leave.
Xu Wanxiao suddenly said, “How about staying for a meal?”
“No, thanks.”
Pei Jinye pulled open the door.
“Pei Jinye.”
Xu Wanxiao suddenly called out, “I was very rude to you before, I apologize, I…”
Pei Jinye looked over, not understanding.
Xu Wanxiao hurriedly pretended as if she hadn’t said anything, turning her back to continue practicing.
“You’re overthinking it.”
Pei Jinye hadn’t taken her seriously at all.
Regarding the outside world.
He just assumed the Jiang family had established contact with the Xu family.
And as the hub, at least an outward sacrifice was necessary… besides, the private tutoring provided him with a better cover for his whereabouts.
…
[Pei Jinye, I’ve found your senior sister’s whereabouts.]
Under the night sky.
Pei Jinye had just left Xu Wanxiao’s villa, when he suddenly heard a temporary communication from Xing Tian.
[Where is she?]
[North Continent’s Red Sand Star Island… To be precise, it’s Lin Xiawei’s handwriting left there. The Knight Order has sealed off all information, and from the last traces, it seems she has almost crossed the entire Eastern Continent…] Xing Tian added: [They are on their way there now, I suggest you go in person, I will cover all traces for you.]
…
Red Sand Star Island was located in the southwest of the North Continent.
The Stars Archipelago… from above, looked like countless stars embellishing this stretch of land.
And here.
Numerous wild beasts lived, not interfering with human beings.
Until today.

This peace was shattered.
…
“What’s gotten into these guys, why are they blocking our way in?”
“Call for backup from headquarters.”
The members of the Knight Order had just arrived and were unexpectedly attacked by Ocean Ferocious Beasts, caught off guard.
