Chapter 1027: [(737)] King of Yanwang (Second update, asking for monthly tickets at month’s end) Chapter 1027: [(737)] King of Yanwang (Second update, asking for monthly tickets at month’s end) Eastern Continent, Dragon City martial arts university.
Lin Xiuxian didn’t know where he got Lu Zhengting’s phone number and loudly reprimanded him.
Not long after, he was invited by the secretary of the president’s office.
“The matter at Xizhou Mountain has caused a great uproar, and now the higher-ups suspect it was a trap set to wipe out all the Eighth and Ninth Rank in the Eastern Continent.”
“Who could be so cruel?”
“At present, it’s unclear who the real mastermind behind this is. We have discovered some very strange occurrences, the deceased have all gone missing.”
Lin Xiuxian was stunned, “What do you mean by missing? Did their legs run away on their own?”
An old man sitting opposite slowly said, “All the surveillance didn’t catch anything. It’s as if they vanished into thin air… A senior personally went to Xizhou Mountain and found that the bloodstains from the previous battlefield had also disappeared.”
Lin Xiuxian pondered, “What are you suggesting, President?”
“The mastermind is collecting the bodies of these people, even including the bloodstains…”
“It sounds like a very taboo act, what kind of composition collects these?” Lin Xiuxian complained.
The old president waved his hand, “Let the higher-ups handle the investigation. I called you here today mainly to discuss the matters of the Research Institute. Your institute has the most complex members in the school. Manage the thoughts of the students well and be careful during this period…”
“I understand.”
…
At this moment, in a private room not far from Dragon City martial arts university.
A gaunt old man suddenly felt a cold sweat of blood forming on his forehead, feeling inexplicably relieved for some reason.
He quickly realized that if he hadn’t been startled just now, this condensation of heart poison in his sweat might not have emerged.
“Sir, you’ve worked hard.”
“Don’t move.” Pei Jinye rebuked.
The gaunt old man’s expression stiffened, and resentfully, he sat back down. Once Pei Jinye removed the silver needle, he felt even more relieved.
Pei Jinye looked at the blood on it, “You’ve been poisoned before?”
“Indeed, I can’t hide it from the master,” the gaunt old man said with a bitter smile, signaling to a strong man, “Xiao Wu, go get the stuff.”
The strong man bowed and then left the room.
The gaunt old man looked earnestly at Pei Jinye, “May I ask sir, how long do I have left to live?”
Pei Jinye disposed of the silver needle, speaking unhurriedly, “Right now, I’ve only temporarily removed some of the poison from your body. To completely cure it is difficult, it requires heavenly treasures.”
“If sir can save me, please speak freely.”
The gaunt old man earnestly bowed to Pei Jinye.
“I do have a spiritual object that might be helpful for your condition, but I need to clarify beforehand; your injuries are too severe. If you had met me earlier, I could have eradicated them, but now… even if I take action, you only have a few years to live.”
“A few years? That’s much better than I expected…” The gaunt old man coughed softly, slowly saying, “I just feel sorry for Xiao Wu, the kid who has been with me for twenty years without being able to find his own parents.”
Pei Jinye stood quietly by.
After a while, seeing the strong man named Xiao Wu come over, the gaunt old man gestured towards Pei Jinye, “There are a total of seven artifact refining materials here. Four belong to the Space Series, the remaining three were originally intended for trades with others, trying my luck. Now, I give them all to you, sir.”
Pei Jinye did not hesitate and accepted the items, “Do not casually circulate your cultivation technique within the next three days. Take care of your health, and in three days, I’ll contact you to pick up the medicine.”
The gaunt old man’s face brightened with joy, quickly affirming.
As he was about to leave, he suddenly inquired, “Sir, how should I address you?”
“Wang Yan.”
“In three days, I will await Mr. Wang’s news.”
After Pei Jinye left with the artifact refining materials, the gaunt old man heaved a sigh, “Indeed, looks can be deceiving.”
The strong man made a hand gesture: [I didn’t expect him to be a medical practitioner.]
“He’s not a medical practitioner, more likely a high-rank alchemist, and his appearance or even his name might be fabricated,” the gaunt old man intelligently smiled.
However, before the smile lingered on his face for a few moments, he immediately started coughing.
The strong man became instantly flustered, making hand gestures: [Haven’t you recovered yet?]
“You silly boy, with my injuries, it’s too difficult to recover with just a needle,” the gaunt old man gently patted the strong man’s head, slowly raising his eyes, “Wait for his message in three days.”
The strong man made a hand gesture: [They are trying to find out about your condition, I’m worried about what might happen in three days…]
The gaunt old man raised his hand, interrupting, “This Mr. Wang can’t be one of their people, if he were, he would have made his move earlier. Do you think he’s weak?”
The strong man looked puzzled, making a gesture: [Is he that strong? Stronger than me?]
The gaunt old man thoughtfully said, “Though he conceals it well, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he released a tremendous spiritual pressure. If you had made a move then… you probably wouldn’t survive three moves.”
The strong man widened his eyes.
He wouldn’t doubt the gaunt old man’s words, but regarding Pei Jinye…
[He’s actually that powerful? Perhaps… we should get him on our side. If such a strong person joins us, our chances of winning would greatly increase.]
Watching him hastily making gestures, the gaunt old man felt somewhat gratified but shook his head, “It’s not necessary to drag innocent people into this. Don’t talk about it anymore, just wait for three days.”
The strong man looked somewhat unwilling.
But there was nothing he could do.
…
…
Rental house.
Pei Jinye had just returned to his place and stood at the entrance with a grim expression.
Someone had been inside!
He closed the door.
Pei Jinye pointed his finger downward.
The image retrogressed.
Countless particles reassembled.
Soon, Pei Jinye saw two figures, one tall one heavy, disguising themselves with masks and sneaking into his room.
They searched everywhere.
It seemed they wanted to find something.
Not long after, the two left in a hurry.
Pei Jinye walked to the window and looked outside.
When those two guys left, they took a car and sat in the back, indicating there were others downstairs.
“Luckily, this is modern civilization. If it were ancient times, it would be hard to pull up any footage.”
He closed his eyes.
A cold smile formed on Pei Jinye’s lips as he directly accessed the surveillance equipment along the way.
He quickly tracked down their whereabouts.
“Fake license plates…”
He pondered thoughtfully.
“Lu Zhengting figured out my location so quickly; the kid has some skills, but he’s too naive.”
Without a word, Pei Jinye pulled the curtains shut, blocking out all the sunlight.
He began refining artifacts.
He had seven sets of Space Series materials, and with what he’d already prepared, he could produce at least another 25 Talisman Beads.
As for Lu Zhengting…
Realizing that it was not the Federation or the Old Gods Association targeting him, Pei Jinye actually felt relieved; otherwise, he couldn’t guarantee how many people in the Eastern Continent would survive today.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
[Refining Extraordinary Gene Fragment +1]
After picking up the Attribute Light Group, Pei Jinye immediately sighed regretfully.
“That’s a big loss.”
“The Universal Extraordinary Gene is much more adaptable than the Refining Materials Extraordinary Gene. Such a pity…”
There wasn’t much Pei Jinye could do.
The randomness of the Attribute Light Group was hard to predict.
If it were predictable, he wouldn’t be so troubled.
“Already 15 Talisman Beads have been refined, more than I anticipated… With the remaining materials, I can produce at least another 15…”
“Thirty Talisman Beads in total, plus the three I currently have in hand… Who else!”
…
“Brother Pei, why are you suddenly laughing so creepily?”
Liu Limin’s remark froze the smile on Pei Jinye’s face.
“Feeling confident again, are we?”
Liu Limin grinned mischievously, leaned in, and whispered, “Brother Pei, do you have time tomorrow? Shall we continue our conquest through Snow Dragon Mountain?”
“Have you figured out who’s killing who–us killing through, or them killing us?” Pei Jinye replied darkly.
Liu Limin shamelessly hugged Pei Jinye’s arm, “Brother, I’m begging you.”
“Talk properly, can you not be so clingy? First, tell me why we’re going back to Snow Dragon Mountain.” Pei Jinye pulled his arm away.
Liu Limin whispered, “I’m 35 points short, I want to exchange for the school’s [Fist of Judgment]…”
“How many points is this task worth?” Pei Jinye asked.
“I took two similar tasks, together they’re worth 40 points,” Liu Limin honestly replied, “You can have 20 points. I promise, it’s the last time.”
“I don’t want points this time, you go and exchange for the [Fist of Judgment], I’ve heard of this technique, it’s really fierce, requires a lot of Vitality. So, you’ll need to find a way to boost your Vitality afterward?”
Pei Jinye inquired.
Liu Limin nodded, “Currently, I’ve saved up plenty of Big Yuan Dan, just waiting to practice the Fist of Judgment and then take them. In two months, I should be able to advance to Fourth Rank smoothly.”
Pei Jinye nodded, the plan was flawless.
“Don’t wait till tomorrow; let’s go this afternoon.”
Liu Limin was startled.
Then he heard Pei Jinye say, “Quick battles, quick decisions!”
Liu Limin immediately grew excited, “Brother Pei, I love how you talk.”
Not long after.
Ji Wutian came over, bringing gossip.
Liu Limin was still immersed in the thought of conquering Snow Dragon Mountain that afternoon, but suddenly came a question, “What was the name of the person you just mentioned who had an accident?”
Ji Wutian didn’t think much and said, “Lu Zhengting, he’s a senior from our previous batches. Apparently, his family has gang connections… not sure who he offended this time, but they brutally broke his legs.”
“Is he dead?” Liu Limin suddenly asked.
Ji Wutian detected something off, raised his eyebrow, and looked at him, “Why, do you know him?”
Liu Limin gritted his teeth, “Can’t say I know him, but this guy tried to rob me a few days ago. If it weren’t for Brother Pei asking the dean for help… dammit, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Ji Wutian caught on, nodded, and said, “Seems the rumors aren’t false. It’s not his first time blocking people, his family claimed South Willow Street as their turf, even district officers visiting had to pay their dues.”
…
Liu Limin fell silent for a while, “Doesn’t anyone care?”
“Heh, his sister is someone’s mistress up higher than high, you try topping that,” Ji Wutian snickered.
“Damn, no wonder he’s so brazen,” Liu Limin recalled something and asked, “So, is he dead?”
“No, but he’s pretty much crippled. When he woke up, he kept repeating one sentence,” Ji Wutian shook his head, looking mysterious.
“What did he say?” Pei Jinye rarely interjected.
Ji Wutian looked around, lowered his voice, and said, “I was wrong…”
After finishing, he shook his head, “Probably scared silly, just kept repeating that… But that’s karma for you, there weren’t few young girls who died because of him.”

…
Two hours later.
On Snow Dragon Mountain.
Liu Limin had learned of Lu Zhengting’s fate through his own information channels on the way, incessantly mumbling and wishing he could applaud.
“This kind of scum deserves to die! No, they shouldn’t let him off so easily! Utter scum!”
