Chapter 1029: [739] Domineering, ‘Ascension’ (Second update, thanks to his rewards and support) Chapter 1029: [739] Domineering, ‘Ascension’ (Second update, thanks to his rewards and support) “Where’s the person?”


    “Gone.”


    The middle-aged man floating in mid-air finished speaking with a thoughtful look, then a silver-haired young man appeared beside him, leaning in and asking, “So, did you figure out who it was?”


    “No,” the middle-aged man hesitated somewhat: “I somehow feel…”


    “Feel what?” The silver-haired young man looked puzzled.


    The middle-aged man looked at him and voiced his doubt: “The power that burst forth from the other party…It simply doesn’t seem like someone who just advanced to the Ninth Rank, not to mention a Heavenly level Ninth Rank Strongman!”


    The silver-haired young man exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Heavenly level? Damn, good thing I was late. If a fight had started, wouldn’t my little life be at risk?”


    The middle-aged man looked at the other with a bit of speechlessness and turned away, “Notify headquarters, an unidentified person has entered the Eastern Continent… suspected to be heading to the North Continent. Inform the Northern side to initiate air and sea static capture, without alarming the other party, as it’s currently unclear whether they are friend or foe.”


    In one night’s time, the ports of the Eastern Continent and the Northern side were all closely monitoring the movements of the Mysterious Ninth Order.


    The appearance of the Mysterious Ninth Order also gave netizens a fresh topic to talk about.


    Early the next morning, when Pei Jinye showed up in the Dragon City Martial Arts University classroom, he heard Liu Limin and Ji Wutian discussing something about “who’s stronger, Thunder God or Thunder Demon.”


    “Brother Pei, who do you support between the Thunder God and the Thunder Demon?”


    “Speaking of which, who is the Thunder Demon?”


    “The one who appeared last night, with his overwhelming Demon Flame, so arrogant and unmatched.”


    “…”


    Three days later, the discussion about the Thunder Demon gradually lost its heat.


    As for how the officials would investigate, that was none of Pei Jinye’s business.


    During this time, Pei Jinye hadn’t been to the Fragment World much.


    The youth in black was a smart man; he had been busy recently, doggedly cultivating within the Sect.


    Pei Jinye didn’t take the initiative to flirt with anyone, whether it was the Ten Stars Art or the Taiyi Star Mastery Technique, he was still in the midst of cultivating them.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.


    This morning, Pei Jinye had just picked up a piece of Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments, when Liu Limin excitedly informed him that he had successfully broken through to the Fourth Rank.


    For a time, Liu Limin became the first “strongman” in the class to enter the Fourth Rank, very much pleased with himself.


    He grandly waved his hand, declaring he would treat everyone to dinner tonight.


    Cao Yingjun was envious, sitting together with Pei Jinye and Zhong Taishu, watching Liu Limin wine and dine.


    Ji Wutian was cracking sunflower seeds beside them and chuckled, “He’s only Fourth Rank now, but once Old Liu gets to Fifth Rank, those families outside will start coming forward to recruit him. Maybe they’ve already started making contact.”


    On hearing this, Cao Yingjun looked over.


    Ji Wutian looked at him and laughed, “You don’t have to rush, with your Artifact Refining skill, someone might already have an eye on you. When you reach Fifth Rank, marrying into one of those families might not be impossible, and you already have your fair share of admirers now.”


    Cao Yingjun shook his head, “What I have with Xiaomei is real.”


    Ji Wutian heard this, looked at him, then exchanged a glance with Pei Jinye; neither of them said much more.


    Not long after.


    Ji Wutian was called away; being a member of the Ji Family, and himself a Fifth Rank, he naturally garnered a lot of attention.


    Cao Yingjun sat down next to Pei Jinye, also envious, murmuring to himself, “This is really the mainstream.”


    Pei Jinye just smiled, “Don’t lose heart, someone will be looking for you soon.”


    Cao Yingjun smiled shyly.


    In less than five minutes, someone came to invite him.


    Cao Yingjun looked at Pei Jinye in astonishment, “Brother Pei?”


    “Enjoy it,” Pei Jinye raised the water cup in his hand in gesture, sitting alone quietly on the sofa, watching everyone in the hall with their own agendas.


    “Why not join in the fun?”


    Ji Yuyan walked over, holding a drink and sitting beside Pei Jinye.


    “It’s nice just like this,” Pei Jinye lay on the sofa, actually using brainwave communication to talk with the members of the Old Gods Association.


    [Demon King, there is an urgent mission…]


    [I’m busy.]


    [The Elder side…]


    [I’m busy.]


    […]


    “The Demon King refused.”


    “Refused? How dare he? Go tell Inorganic, does he really think he’s a God Son, beyond control? Ridiculously arrogant!”


    “Elder, Elder Wuji has replied.”


    “What did he say?”


    “He said: Don’t bother the Demon King over trivial matters, work it out yourself; the Demon King is carrying out a top-secret mission.”


    “… Fine, very well!”


    As the last bit of twilight faded away, it left a feeling as poignant as the setting of the sun.


    At that moment, Pei Jinye appeared inside a rental apartment.


    He was processing the medicinal materials sent by Lin Xinorth.


    He had gotten two Dan Fangs from the black market.


    One was to enhance Vitality, the other was a formula for Soul Protection Pills.


    The Dan Fang to increase Vitality was quite common in the market, but the version transformed by Pei Jinye into an intense Vitality Elixir was less so.


    As for the Soul Protection Pill, Pei Jinye had spent two days modifying the formula… that’s something he dared to do, nobody else should think that Dan Fangs were so easily alterable.


    “Two versions, one can restore spiritual power, the other can raise the upper limit of spiritual power…”


    Pei Jinye looked at the blood-red Soul Protection Pill in his hand, and hesitated for a moment.


    “With how it looks, claiming it’s poison would probably convince anyone.”


    He swallowed it.


    Pei Jinye felt his brain get hammered, the instance of pain was fleeting, and his attribute panel saw his spiritual power rapidly rising…


    Finally settled.


    Increased by 999 points.


    “???”


    In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.


    The weather turned cooler.


    The light clothing of passersby on the streets gradually changed to jackets.


    Jinye closed the window.


    He glanced at the message from Lin Xiuxian on his phone and then turned the phone off.


    He whispered softly, “Flame, ascend.”


    Light flickered within the room.


    …


    In an instant, Jinye’s figure had already appeared in the Tanwood Country.


    “It has been several months in the outside world; according to the flow of time here, more than a month has passed here as well.”


    Jinye whistled.


    Several birds of similar size flew to the window quickly, chirping and reporting various occurrences of the past month.


    To the birds, the people of these countries were indistinguishable, but they could use directions like east, south, west, and north to differentiate.


    …


    Kunad hadn’t seen the King for a long time, and he was frightened during that period, so as soon as he heard that the King had summoned him, he hurried over and knelt on the ground, kissing Jinye’s shoes.


    The display of his devotion could not be more sincere.


    “It’s truly wonderful to see you, King.”


    “Tell me what has happened recently,” Jinye said in a calm tone.


    Kunad quickly reported the major recent events.


    They corresponded closely with what the birds had reported.


    The Empire’s army had already been stationed in the Wild Gold Country, engaging in half a month of jungle warfare with the Summer Country, both sides showing state-of-the-art combat power that shocked the world.


    A mutiny then occurred in the Wild Gold Country, with one succession candidate after another either having car accidents or other unexpected incidents… The chaos in the Wild Gold Country also spread smoke and confusion throughout Southeast Asia.


    “There’s also Mojing Country… I don’t know what’s happening there, but they’ve been targeted by Kou Country, who made consecutive moves… I took it upon myself to assassinate all of their people. I ask the King to punish me.”


    Kunad said as he knelt before Jinye.


    “Get up,” Jinye said indifferently: “You did nothing wrong, Mojing Country cannot be tampered with by others.”


    Kunad got up from the ground, looking humble and ingratiating, “What the King says is right, I already took care of it, I had those people from Kou Country watched; thankfully, the Summer Country has been busy fighting with the Empire recently, Kou Country does not want to bring trouble upon themselves, so they dared not escalate the situation…”


    Previously, Kunad had been somewhat worried.


    Observing that the Empire was now negotiating with the Summer Country.


    The flames of war were gradually dying down.


    This also meant that Kou Country no longer needed to maintain their facade, and could easily bare their fangs.


    If the King did not make an appearance soon, he would be powerless, and when the time came, he would either have to lie low or be killed by the experts of Kou Country.


    Fortunately… Seeing the King safe and sound, and even giving off a renewed and purified aura, Kunad felt an increased sense of relief.


    “King…”


    He had just mustered the courage to ask if Jinye’s cultivation had improved.


    But at this moment, the guards at the door came to report that people from Kou Country had arrived.


    “Kou Country?”


    Kunad’s face changed, cursing, “These bastards definitely want to take advantage of the truce between the Summer Country and the Empire to press us, King, what should we do now?”


    “They’ve come all this way,” Jinye said indifferently… let’s see if they have the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard.


    …


    Three Martial Artists from Kou Country appeared with their heads held high, shorter by ten centimeters compared to the soldiers of Tanwood Country.


    But their attitudes were extremely arrogant, only slightly lowering their heads when looking at Jinye, the “First level King”: “We’ve seen the King of Tanwood Country.”


    “What is it?” Jinye leaned back on his throne calmly, the Maid gently peeling the modified Spirit Fruit and popping it into his mouth.


    The Martial Artists from Kou Country were annoyed by “Pitan’s” disrespectful attitude and spoke bluntly, “Regarding the matter with Mojing Country, we all have a clear understanding. I hope the King of Tanwood Country will relent and not interfere with our Kou Country’s actions. After all, in this region of Southeast Asia, our influence in Kou Country is even greater than Summer Country’s.”


    Kunad looked up at Jinye.


    Jinye paid them no attention and continued to enjoy the Spirit Fruit.


    The three Martial Artists from Kou Country looked at each other, feeling disgruntled.


    The leading man said with a deep voice, “King of Tanwood Country!”


    Before he finished speaking.


    Jinye suddenly raised his hand: “Silence!”


    Almost instantly.


    The head of the leading Kou Country Martial Artist exploded.


    “Ah!!!!”


    The Maids were startled, screaming, the fruit platter fell to the ground, but luckily Jinye caught it, or the Spirit Fruits would have been wasted.


    The remaining two Martial Artists from Kou Country were scared silly, staring in shock as the body took two steps back before thunderously collapsing.


    Not until the blood splattered on their faces did they come to their senses.


    “Pitan, you dare to kill our people! We are–”


    “Ptch!”


    A Giant Palm made of particles immediately blasted the two men away.


    In the moment of absolute silence, Jinye’s voice was heard unhurriedly: “I don’t like people talking to me with eyes askew.”


    Kunad and the many Guards who rushed in were all dumbstruck.


    “The King has done well, these people dared to insult the King; they deserve death!”


    Kunad brown-nosed.

    Jinye waved his hand: “Clean this up; cleanse the hall.”


    “Yes, King,” Kunad took the orders.


    Then a Minister quickly spoke, “King, how should we explain this to Kou Country?”


    Jinye looked over expressionlessly: “Do I need to give them any explanation?”


    Seeing this, Kunad went over and kicked the Minister away, scolding, “You shortsighted thing, assassins from Kou Country attempted to kill the King of Tanwood Country in broad daylight. Fortunately, our King with his superior martial arts killed them in defense. Kou Country should give us an explanation! Understand?”
