Chapter 1018: [733] Advanced (First Update) Chapter 1018: [733] Advanced (First Update) “How’s it going?”
The silver-haired elder asked in a low voice.
Murong Jing shook his head, “It’s not them.”
“It’s not them? Could it be that Central State has other Ninth Rank of this level?” The silver-haired elder’s voice began to tremble.
Spiritual power users of the Ocean Level… This meant that if someone made a move against him, he would truly be powerless to resist.
Thinking of this,
the silver-haired elder hastily looked at Murong Jing, “Should we seek assistance from headquarters, have them send some support?”
“Am I not here?” Murong Jing looked back.
“…”
The silence of the silver-haired elder at this moment was deafening.
Murong Jing chuckled and shook his head, not giving any explanation. Holding a silver light ball, he positioned it along the wall.
Releasing his hand,
the silver light ball did not fall to the ground, but defied gravity, moving horizontally along the wall perpendicular to the floor.
The silver-haired elder stood by, lamenting how in the ten years since he had left headquarters, he could no longer understand any of the new technological innovations.
He did not approach to ask anything.
He just quietly stood by and watched as Murong Jing was recording something.
Soon,
Murong Jing closed his notebook.
“Let’s go.”
“That’s it… it’s over?” the silver-haired elder was astonished.
Murong Jing said with frustration, “The situation is a bit more thorny than anticipated.”
“What do we do next?”
“Let me think… Forget it, let’s head back for a midnight snack, I’m starving.”
“… Fine.” The silver-haired elder twitched his mouth, seeing Murong Jing’s serious expression, and swallowed back the words he was going to say.
Before he could say anything else, he heard Murong Jing eagerly asking, “By the way, what are some famous local snacks around here?”
“…”
…
The deep night set in.
Confirming that the silver-haired elder had left,
Murong Jing turned to look at the mirror behind him and said with slight helplessness, “Buddy, this was originally your mission, and you had to make me do it. Now you’ve gotten me into big trouble.”
A shadow in the mirror chuckled lightly, “Who doesn’t know Murong Jing, the Iron Hand Judge, is keen-eyed? This time, I’ll stay in the dark, you take the lead, and we’ll catch them totally off guard. Once you get back to headquarters, this will undoubtedly be a first-class merit.”
Murong Jing was not the silver-haired elder, to be lured by empty promises, so he didn’t buy it and laughed, “Merit or no merit, aren’t we all working for the Federation, maintaining social stability is what we should do. However… have you forgotten something? According to the agreement, I help you lure the target, where’s the material you promised me?”
“You won’t miss out on it.”
Right then, the mirror rippled like water, and a carved wooden box was transmitted out.
Murong Jing took it.
The other was somewhat confused, “This stuff isn’t easy to find, it cost me quite a few tricks. But you plan to cultivate spiritual power?”
“Might as well, since I’m idle anyway, practice for fun,” Murong Jing bluffed.
The other was speechless, clearly not believing him, but seeing Murong Jing didn’t want to talk, they changed the subject, “Any leads on the insider case?”
Ever since they in the Judgement Place discovered someone using internal secret techniques to commit crimes outside, an internal investigation had been ongoing.
But a year had passed, and so far, there was still no clue.
“I suspect this case should be related to the insider case too. I checked, and the methods used have traces of our Judgement Place’s secret techniques…”
Hearing this, Murong Jing slightly raised his eyebrows, “No wonder you rascal insisted on having me come, but if we combine these two cases, I cannot handle it alone, get support from headquarters.”
“Aren’t I the support?”
“Get lost. The opponent might be Heavenly level, if you want to die don’t drag me with you.”
“What’s there to fear? If we can’t beat them, just kneel down. Such an old monster would be enough to be our ancestor.”
“…” Murong Jing had no idea what to say anymore.
After cutting off communication,
he murmured to himself,
“Shameless.”
He turned around and secretly tried bending his knees… right, quite graceful indeed.
…
…
“Demon King, we are all members of the Old Gods Association, you dare to kill us, aren’t you afraid of being pursued by the higher-ups?”
The burly man’s face was fierce but vulnerable.
Pei Jinye couldn’t be bothered with wasting words and struck down with his sword.
The burly man’s expression instantly turned to one of horror.
He tried to resist.
But Pei Jinye was faster.
In an instant, the Iron Hammer in the burly man’s hands was struck away, and his entire body was hit by the sword’s hilt in the chest, nearly losing his breath, and before his flying body could land, Pei Jinye grabbed him.
“Demon King, if headquarters knows you dare to kill me, you’ll be done for too!”
“Then let’s not let them know,” said Pei Jinye emotionlessly and pressed down.
“Enter the Dream.”
…
“Boom!”
A great fire enveloped the Old Gods Association’s base.
Pei Jinye stood within the Shadow.
Silently watching all this.
Removing three bases under the Candle Banner also served as a release of pent-up anger.
Turning around,
his Storage Bag hung around his waist, packed with over a dozen, bulging at the seams.
“No wonder they say ‘murder and arson, gold belt’…”
…
…
“Three bases were uprooted by the Federation’s people!”

The news reached the Old Gods Association, causing a tremor among its members.
“Three bases… silently uprooted, how could there be no noise at all?”
“The Judgement Place, anything special from their operations recently? It surely couldn’t have been the Night Patrol Department or the Military Department, could it?”
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Soon after, the Elder Association held a secret meeting–no one knew what happened, but at least three thorough searches were conducted that same day, uncovering more than a dozen spies from other organizations.
