Chapter 1094: [800] Devour Form, Evolution (Requesting monthly votes at the end of the month) Chapter 1094: [800] Devour Form, Evolution (Requesting monthly votes at the end of the month) After waiting for a moment, an elderly gentleman in traditional Chinese attire approached Pei Jinye.
The old man’s hair was silver-gray, and his signature goatee was quite memorable, but his sharp, eagle-like eyes were even more unforgettable.
Upon seeing Pei Jinye look over, he quickly sized him up and then said, “Is it you who wishes to see me?”
He was somewhat uncertain of Pei Jinye’s identity.
But for the Luo family to personally reach out, his background must be… sky-high.
Pei Jinye replied with a calm smile, “Master Zhou, I have already reserved a private room, please.”
He ordered another cup of Spiritual Tea.
After the waiter poured a pot of tea for the old man, Pei Jinye gestured with his hand, “Please.”
Zhou Fangxi hesitated but couldn’t help asking, “There’s no need for Master Sun to beat around the bush, what exactly do you need from me?”
Pei Jinye replied with a light smile, “I have a friend who is in need of some Artifact Refining Materials for stabilizing space. I’ve heard Master Zhou has many sources, hence my visit today.”
“It’s no trouble at all. I, Zhou, love making friends. Since Master Sun is so direct, I will be too. Materials for stabilizing space are extremely rare. Since you have come to me, you must have already inquired about the market beforehand,” Zhou Fangxi said with confidence in his intelligence network.
Pei Jinye listened calmly, “If Master Zhou can secure the materials, I can help arrange your grandson’s schooling.”
Zhou Fangxi’s expression immediately showed some movement, his confidence transforming into carefulness, “You…”
Pei Jinye calmly set down his teacup, “Give me the information in three days, and your grandson will receive the acceptance letter from Dragon City martial arts university.”
Zhou Fangxi stood up quickly, still unsure, “Master Sun, you…”
He swallowed the words he was about to speak and spoke seriously, “Wait for my news. In three days, I will have an answer for you.”
Pei Jinye raised his cup in anticipation, “Looking forward to your information.”
He took a sip and set it down.
In front of Zhou Fangxi, Pei Jinye vanished completely.
This sudden development caught Zhou Fangxi off guard, causing him to stagger a step back.
“This…”
His eyes widened, nearly choking on his own breath.
When he left the private room, he made a phone call, “Let’s get this straight, what exactly is that person’s background? No, no, no, I’m not picking a fight, I’m thinking of holding onto the coattails.”
The person on the phone chuckled, “Fangxi, do your job well. If that person really appreciates your talent, you’re in for a treat. As for his background… ask less, do not inquire, just focus on your work, you won’t be short of benefits.”
When Zhou Fangxi hung up the phone, his heart was still pounding.
“Senior Zhou? Is it really Senior Zhou… Hello Senior Zhou, I’m…”
Several glamorously dressed middle-aged people approached him, jogging over, and said some flattering words.
But at this moment, Zhou Fangxi could hardly pay attention to them; his mind was full of the task assigned by Pei Jinye, giving a perfunctory nod, and he quickly left.
“What’s with Senior Zhou?”
“He was seen talking to a young man earlier…”
“Who was that person?”
“Not sure, perhaps some young master from a family?”
…
After leaving the Ling Tea House, Pei Jinye did not hurry away.
He changed his appearance and picked up a convenient Sealing Object for planting.
Returning to the temporary resting place, a hotel.
The intelligence on the Awakeners Organization [Tide Pool] was now fully gathered.
…
[Tide Pool, an organization of Robber Cultivators integrated with assassination and intelligence, never attacks the weak; their targets are limited to large organizations or high-ranking individuals…]
[Organization leader: Ye Sha]
[And the new shareholders of Guan City Garden: Ci Sha, Black Hawk, White Plume…]
Pei Jinye slightly furrowed his brow.
Having no photos of these individuals, he couldn’t determine if Silver Art, Little Red Luo, and the others were still alive.
“If they managed to break through to the Ninth Rank, a hundred years wouldn’t affect them much…”
Sadly, Pei Jinye had not found any trace of this Tide Pool group.
“Maybe… I’m overthinking it.”
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Pei Jinye ended his closed-door cultivation, as usual, picking up the Attribute Light Group.
[New progress of 1.8% in Martial Arts Cultivation!]
“New things starting to appear?”
Pei Jinye slightly raised an eyebrow.
A bit of a surprise.
The Attribute Light Groups he had been obtaining lately were all regular Extraordinary Gene Fragments and Attribute Light Groups; this was the first time he had directly gained an increase in Martial Arts Cultivation.
He refocused his eyes.
Pei Jinye seriously began to review his attribute panel.
Before he realized it, his [Swallowing Form] had already undergone an upgrade.
…
[Swallowing Third Form (1/100000)]
[Explanation: In this form, there is a certain chance of taking non-conventional matter… Swallowing speed is reduced by a third (depends on the opponent’s strength)]
“Non-conventional? How non-conventional exactly?”
Pei Jinye felt curious.
“Just try and you’ll know.”
…
Night falls.
Darkness engulfs the city like a tidal wave.
Tonight the clouds are dense.
A bitter wind howls.
Suddenly, a police car from the Night Patrol Department screeches to a halt.
“What’s the matter?”
“There’s some noise.”
The young night patroller driving the car looks suspiciously towards the end of the alley.
Suddenly, his face changes.
“No, there’s a smell of blood!”
He quickly gets out of the car.
His partner urgently whispers in a low voice, “Check your equipment dammit, don’t be rash!”
Fumbling, he follows him out of the car.
“Calling headquarters! Calling headquarters! A suspected incident at No. 199, Nanxiang Road…”
The middle-aged man shouts urgently, then suddenly stops.
There’s a body hanging on the wall inside the alley, head drooping.
The young man who rushed down just now suddenly grabs him and dashes out of the alley.
Following close behind.
The howling wind slams fiercely against the wall.
It was just a fraction away, or he would have ended up like the corpse on the wall.
The middle-aged man is spared from calamity.
“What on earth happened?”
“I don’t know either, there’s a Demon Cultivator! Run!” The young officer fires his gun.
The gunfire flashes at the alley’s entrance.
The sound of bullets being fired is like thunder out of a clear sky, alerting the nearby residents to the disturbance here.
The young officer thought he could scare the opponent away like this.
But unexpectedly, the opponent is bold and fast, pouncing straight at him.
The young officer hurriedly raises his gun to shoot.
But a strange bright light flashes before him, and he instinctively retracts his hand…
“Clack.”
The gun he was holding is smoothly cut through.
“Damn it!”
The young officer is instantly drenched in a cold sweat.
Almost instinctively, he pulls out a dagger and lunges with a stab.
“Bang!”
The dark figure blocks the dagger’s strike.
Counters and knocks the young officer to the ground.
“Damn it, we really can’t beat this, Brother Yang!” The young officer feels like his whole body is about to fall apart.
Before he can finish.
The dark figure pounces again.
However, halfway through, the man called “Brother Yang” tackles it to the ground.

“Bang–”
In an instant, the middle-aged man is blown away.
He crashes hard against the wall, spits out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth in pain.
“Damn it, what the hell is this monster?!”
Just then.
Suddenly, a grating, heart-stopping sound emanates from inside the alley.
