“Gone.” The person who replied hesitated for a moment before looking at the elderly figure in the grand red robe in front of him, “Chief, with our Central State’s mission failing this time at headquarters, it shouldn’t implicate us, right?”
The red-robed elder had his thoughts interrupted and looked up, responding without annoyance, “What’s with the panic? Headquarters made a grave error in their arrangement this time; naturally, it won’t affect us.”
Before the other could breathe a sigh of relief, the elder’s voice became somewhat chilling, “But don’t forget, even Ninth Rank experts were easily eradicated, which is enough to show how vicious and ruthless our adversary is. Such a person is living right among us… posing a far greater threat than anyone at headquarters.”
Upon hearing this, the other’s expression, which had just relaxed, turned deathly pale once again.
“How did Central State ever deserve to draw in such a Big Demon Head… Has the war from five years ago not made those people rethink their actions?”
The complaining figure with a gloomy face was ignored.
The red-robed elder fell into deep thought.
It was undeniable that he too felt a chill run down his spine, shocked to learn that three Ninth Rank experts from headquarters were killed in less than three minutes.
[Why does Central State have such powerful individuals?]
[Could it be that Old Ghost Inorganic has returned?]
…
While everyone was filled with anxiety,
At this moment, Pei Jinye was in the back mountains of the Luo family’s estate.
No one could have anticipated that the Elder Mister of Luo Family, who even the current Central Continent Councilor would affectionately greet as Uncle Luo, was now appearing before Pei Jinye with a wary expression.
Dismissing the crowd,
Pei Jinye did not indulge in making the elder wait upon him.
“I’ve heard about your situation. How long have you been stuck at the Sixth Rank?”
“The decrepit me has been trapped at the Sixth Rank for thirty years. Suffering from illness and weakness, I fear there aren’t many years left for me to live. Truly, I do not live up to the expectations of my lord.”
The Elder Mister of Luo Family had also once been cultivated by Pei Jinye using Spiritual Medicine ten years ago. Regrettably, apart from breaking through to the Sixth Rank… he had never been able to open his Territory.
Pei Jinye was not surprised.
He kicked out the Jiang family precisely because the Luo family proved to be of great help.
Thus, he was also very willing to bring out Spirit Water.
Passing over a bottle of the potion,
“I’ll pass on a technique to you first. Although it won’t enable you to open your Territory, it’s sufficient to allow you to wield the power surpassing that of a Seventh Rank.”
The Elder Mister of Luo Family became excited upon hearing this and said, “Thank you, lord, for your grace!”
To make an elder over eighty years old practice “Stellar Guidance Art”… was somewhat a gamble of life and death.
But Pei Jinye was confident.
…
“Father?”
Luo family’s Third Elder strode into the courtyard, bluntly asking as he met others.
The butler bowed slightly, “The old master said he’s going into seclusion and requested not to be disturbed for the next few days.”
“Father’s going into seclusion?” The Third Elder was clearly astonished, but in an instant, he frowned and said, “Why go into seclusion without any reason? The old man’s getting senile, and so are you following in his footsteps. At his age, any mistake during seclusion could be catastrophic. Don’t you understand that? Move aside!”
He pushed the butler aside, but the butler quickly stopped him again.
“Third master, you mustn’t… ”
“…”
“Unfilial son, get out!”
Before the Third Elder could enter, he was driven out by a fierce roar from the Elder Mister of Luo Family.
“Father, think thrice… Get out!”
…
Pei Jinye stayed at the Luo family’s place for half a month.
And tonight,
Luo Yizhou was finally granted permission to return to the Luo family and meet Pei Jinye.
…
“It’s been ten years, and you’ve grown much stronger,” Pei Jinye sat down, observing the now sharp and starry-eyed Luo Yizhou.
“Thank you for lifting me up all those years ago,” Luo Yizhou said, bowing in front of his own elder.
If Pei Jinye hadn’t given secret guidance back then, he would never have achieved what he has today.
Pei Jinye offered some advice, and Luo Yizhou thanked him before departing.
After Pei Jinye left, the elder master of the Luo family formally began his seclusion.
The third elder of the Luo family had the intention to stop him.
Whether he was genuinely worried or merely pretending, his attempt to obstruct was ineffective.
Luo Yizhou was now the second most accomplished member of the family, subordinate only to the first elder of the Luo family, and when he spoke, everyone had to listen.
Moreover, the first elder of the Luo family, who was preparing to assault the councilor position, wholeheartedly supported Luo Yizhou, rendering the third elder’s opposition nothing more than empty words.
Half a month later.
The elder master of Luo family emerged from seclusion, rejuvenated, with clear evidence of significant gains.
This left the third elder dumbfounded.
He couldn’t figure it out…
How did the elder master break through?
The doctors had all said the elder master did not have many years left, so this was truly unthinkable.
He knelt before the elder master with a thud, rushing to pledge his loyalty.
…
…
The affairs of the Luo family eased some of the panic in Harbor City.
There were many who came to offer congratulations.
Everyone assumed that the elder master had broken through to the Seventh Rank, which further enhanced the prestige of the Luo family.
The joy and laughter of the Luo family stood in stark contrast to the gloomy faces of the Central Continent Judgement Office.
“There’s an insider… but who could it be? We weren’t even involved in the operation, surely we can’t be the insiders, right?”
“Damn it, chaotically!”
…
…
Da Peng City.
No one noticed when Pei Jinye returned.
It just so happened that Xing Tian contacted him.
[The research on blood crystals has made progress, though it’s not suitable for all species. So far, we have confirmed that wolves, tigers, leopards, and apes can greatly enhance their vitality under the influence of blood crystals. However, I do not recommend large-scale breeding. They will retaliate before they are tamed.]
“I will tame these fierce beasts, entrust the infusion of the blood crystals to you.”
Controlling a personal army of fierce beasts wasn’t too difficult for Pei Jinye.
Moreover…
He needed these blood crystals to take root and grow within the fierce beasts… Although he was unsure if he would need to devour their vitality later, it nevertheless presented him with an additional path.
Xing Tian raised no objections and secretly proceeded as instructed.
[There’s another matter. During our routine patrols, our Dark Sea unexpectedly discovered the Western Continent conducting some sort of secret operation.]
“What kind of operation? Elaborate.”
[We’re not certain yet, but through side information gathering, it’s related to the V Era. The internal handling on the Western Continent is marked as SSS level, which means the mission they are undertaking could lead to human extinction if even the slightest mistake is made.]
Pei Jinye remained calm.
He thought about his encounter with the Old Wolf King in Different World, connecting it to a deeper meaning that may be concealed within the game of the V Era.

He slowly began, “I have made contact with beings from Different World, and it might be related to the V Era.”
This time, Xing Tian was startled.
[You…]
It seemed somewhat overwhelmed.
Pei Jinye did not elaborate on how he came into contact with the beings from Different World, but he did share some of what the Old Wolf King had said.
[Great beings… faith…]
After a long silence, Xing Tian faintly responded, [I think I have figured out the secret of Star Ring.]
