Chapter 130: 120 Delivered Transcendent (Thanks to the Support of the Hand of Dao)_1
Cafeteria.
“The team leader told to have a good rest for the next three days, and when you’re ready to co back, just tell , and I’ll co to pick you up,” Brother Bi sipped his shrimp soup, warming himself up.
Pei Jinye nodded from across the table.
Although he had been injured on his head, the ointnt provided by the base was very effective, and after applying it, the wound had already scabbed over quickly.
“By the way, Brother Bi, can our team get so more of this ointnt?”
“Effective, isn’t it?” Brother Bi couldn’t help but smile as he looked over, “I’m not bragging, but everyone who cos to our Investigation Team praises this bone ointnt. But unfortunately, it’s quite rare, so the team neither gives it away nor sells it. Even our team leader can’t do anything about it because this bone ointnt is made by Master Yunshan himself. His disciple works as a doctor at our base, so that’s why we have access to it.”
“If it were for sale, it could fetch a lot of money, couldn’t it?” Pei Jinye asked curiously.
“Money?” Brother Bi chuckled, shaking his head, “You don’t understand Master Yunshan. His dical skills are unparalleled, and honestly, money might just be a number to him. Besides, he already started roaming the world a few years ago. Only his disciple can use this bone ointnt.”
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but feel it was a pity.
It’s all about money.
With so much money, how many cultivation resources could be bought.
Brother Bi found it amusing.
Apparently, his little brother here was quite the money-grubber.
After finishing lunch.
Brother Bi happened to have a trip to the city center, so he offered Pei Jinye a ride ho in his car.
After bidding farewell to Brother Bi.
Pei Jinye returned ho.
At this ti, the elders in his family were still busy on East Street.
He went to the bathroom, took off his duckbill cap, and ripped off the bandage on the top of his head. A three-centiter-long blood scab had already ford. He pulled down his hair a bit, which could just about cover the scar.
“Buzz buzz!”
Just then.
Pei Jinye’s phone rang.
Surprisingly, the caller was Teacher Chang.
He had never had private contact with Teacher Chang before.
Suddenly vigilant, he answered the phone without a word.
“It’s , Teacher Chang…”
Teacher Chang’s voice ca through, “Have you been slacking on your cultivation of ‘Twelve Lotuses’ recently?”
“I have been practicing consistently. It’s just that there’s a feeling of congestion in my Vitality consolidation. Do you have a solution, Teacher Chang?”
“Congestion?” Teacher Chang pondered for a mont on the other end, “Have you consud any dicinal ingredients or flesh that significantly boost Vitality recently?”
“Well, yes…”
“Then you’ve over-supplented. Stop for a day or two, let your body handle the current volu. Don’t overdo the cultivation of ‘Twelve Lotuses’ either. Just maintain one cycle per day until you cultivate the first Blood Lotus, then you can add another cycle… By the way, have you condensed the first Blood Lotus yet?”
“Not yet,” Pei Jinye told a lie.
There was no anomaly on Teacher Chang’s end, he just urged, “Hurry up and cultivate the first Blood Lotus. The more Blood Lotuses you have, the stronger your Vitality will beco, and your body will beco stronger as well… Your age is the perfect ti for consolidating and refining Vitality. Once you reach a certain age, Vitality will start to decline, and then it will beco increasingly difficult to practice more advanced ntal thods.”
After hanging up the phone.
Pei Jinye stared silently at his phone.
Teacher Chang gave him a strange feeling.
It seed that his attitude had undergone a noticeable transformation ever since he taught him ‘Twelve Lotuses’.
In fact, Pei Jinye could understand this change.
But the call today felt sowhat abrupt.
He wasn’t really a closed-door disciple who had formally been accepted through a ceremony, just a student who ca to learn.
Moreover, Teacher Chang had only imparted one-third of the “Twelve Lotus” to him.
That ant Pei Jinye could only cultivate up to the Fourth Lotus with “Twelve Lotus”.
But for now,
even solidifying the Second Lotus was proving difficult, let alone knowing when he would be able to cultivate the Fourth Lotus.
It was at this mont that Cai Weiqian suddenly called Pei Jinye’s private number.
Pei Jinye paused.
He had almost forgotten what his disguised voice sounded like last ti.
“Oh right, Old Jia.”
After answering the call,
Cai Weiqian said cautiously, “Brother Jia, is it convenient to talk?”
“Speak,” Pei Jinye said.
“Brother Jia, I had a shipnt on Tongguan Road that got hijacked…”
“After last ti, there are still people who dare to make a move?” Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
Cai Weiqian replied with a wry smile, “The main issue is that I have no news at all about who hijacked it this ti. The delivery guys returned with an empty truck last night, and they don’t know what happened. I suspect that it was the work of a Transcendent.”
Pei Jinye listened quietly.
Cai Weiqian was rather helpless: “I was just transporting so dical supplies, nothing contraband. Why did they have to target my shipnt and treat like this, just for a small profit.”
Pei Jinye wasn’t concerned about his grievances and simply asked, “Give the license plate number, the route, and the ti.”
“Around 10:45 last night…” Cai Weiqian recalled carefully.
Using his ability of Heavenly Calculation, Pei Jinye hacked into the electronic surveillance systems of the shops near Tongguan Road and located the vehicle Cai Weiqian had described.
However, he noticed that there was a blind spot in the surveillance of the scene.
He frowned slightly.
Pei Jinye realized that this matter was troubleso.
He had thought that he could remotely control the situation from ho and uncover the truth with ease.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated…
But considering that Cai Weiqian paid him promptly,
Pei Jinye decided to make a trip outside to take good care of his “younger brother”.
A subordinate who serves well enables the boss to drive sports cars.
…
In a certain restaurant,
After settling the bill and leaving the restaurant, Wu Feng pressed down on his flat cap as he stood at the door. Over his right shoulder, he carried a ssenger bag that seed very full and was covered ticulously.
He had stayed up the entire night to find the whereabouts of a certain jeep.
He ended up in deep mountains and dense forests where there wasn’t even a place to get a al. Barely managing to find so wild fruits, they caused him to suffer from stomach trouble all morning, and who knew how many leaves he had to tear off in the process.
Due to his identity, he couldn’t take the light rail; otherwise, he’d be identified through facial recognition right away.
Thus, he could only rely on walking. It wasn’t until evening that he finally left the mountains and found a nearby restaurant to have a hearty al.
“Damn it, where is this guy?”
Wu Feng felt annoyed.
Sitting by the roadside, he began to recall the two pieces of information he had about that man in his mory.
“The first ti was a coincidence, the second ti was in East Street District…”
“He and the Old Gods Association… Could it be him!”
As Wu Feng pondered, he suddenly heard a clang in front of him and looked up blankly at a coin that had landed in front of him. Then, with a sowhat grim look, he lifted his head to see where it had co from.
The next second, however, he was dumbstruck on the spot.
“What the hell, it’s him!!!”
By then, Pei Jinye had already donned his trench coat and left.
Wu Feng stood there in a daze, watching that figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance.
Suddenly, he reached out to touch the strap of his shoulder bag.
But then he hesitated… This encounter was purely coincidental.
This coincidence brought back the mory of the previous two tis the Demon had toyed with him like a cat with a mouse.
A shiver ran down his spine.
Wu Feng snapped back to reality, his gaze flickering with suspicion as he watched the retreating figure, his expression darkened, and he swiftly got up, not forgetting to pick up the coin from the ground as he quickly followed.
Pei Jinye stood at the crosswalk waiting for the traffic light.
A figure was stealthily following behind him.
The red light turned off, and the green light ca on.
Pei Jinye walked along with the crowd to the other side of the street, then down a small path beside an alley, heading deeper into an increasingly deserted area.
The evening autumn wind whirled the fallen leaves off the ground.
Layer upon layer, they scattered in rolls.
In the corner by the wall where a layer had peeled off, patches of moss stretched for several ters, with dark red traces faintly visible beside the moss.
Wu Feng crept closer with a bewildered look, watching Pei Jinye walk alone into the dimly lit alley.
He turned to look around.
After confirming that no one else was there, he followed close behind.
At this mont, the zipper of his shoulder bag was already open.
His right hand fumbled in the darkness, reaching inside.
To his surprise, the man he was following suddenly turned around and approached him with an unhurried pace, saying, “Excuse , could you tell how to get to Tongguan Road?”
Tongguan Road?
Does Da Peng City have a Tongguan Road?
Or did I hear it wrong?
Questions sprang up in Wu Feng’s mind as he watched Pei Jinye approaching, subconsciously hugging his shoulder bag tightly and stepping back.
Without keeping so distance from this guy, he even felt a bit of fear.
This feeling was like a mouse seeing a cat, an instinctive fear and trembling.
Suppressing the pounding in his chest, Wu Feng managed to steady his voice and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly, but I don’t live here, and I’m not very familiar with the area.”
Having said that.
He staggered and quickly walked back to where he had co from as if realizing he had taken the wrong path.
Pei Jinye’s eyes seed to be emitting a faint glow as he stared at that retreating figure.
The man was about one ter seventy, with seemingly no excess fat on his body.
His cheeks, which appeared rather plain, were slightly sunken, making him look lean, yet the vitality coursing through him was not weak. His hands had large knuckles and calluses at the base of his thumbs, signs of soone who handled weapons.
Wu Feng tried to appear calm, deliberately controlling his leg muscles to prevent himself from walking too hurriedly and attracting the attention of that Demon behind him.
However, what made his scalp tingle was—
That demon was clearly following him now!
One minute earlier, he was the one following behind him.
But now, a demon with a face contorted in rage was trailing behind him.
Wu Feng’s heart sank.
He sped up, and the figure behind him also accelerated.
He slowed down, and the figure did the sa.
It kept a delicate distance from him at all tis.
Fear, like an insidious disease, bit by bit crushed the last bit of luck in his heart.
He started to run, deliberately heading towards crowded areas, hoping to use the surrounding environnt to disrupt the vision of the Demon behind him.
However, after crossing the street, he turned around abruptly.
Damn!
The demon was still there!
He even made eye contact with him!
F*ck, can’t you just leave alone?!
Wu Feng’s legs were trembling, and all the simulations he had gone through in his mind countless tis up to this mont seed useless!
Like a helpless little rabbit facing the Demon, any sche would disintegrate under this silent oppression.
Pei Jinye followed him all the way.
He had now fully recognized him.
The murderer from Northern Ring Road!
The figure was exactly the sa as the one he had seen during Retrogression.
Left leg slightly shorter, height 171 centiters, weight 63 kilograms…
Initially, he was sowhat uncertain.
But the other’s panic just now once again confird Pei Jinye’s suspicion.
However, he didn’t understand—
Why was the man following him?
Had they crossed paths before?
No recollection.
Or was it soone else’s doing?
Pei Jinye’s eyes gradually beca more nacing.
At this point, Wu Feng started to lose his composure, his steps growing increasingly erratic, and finally, not daring to step into the spooky alleyway, he turned around and stood by the street corner, talking nonsensically, “You demon! Demon!”
Pei Jinye stood still, silent, his gaze calmly fixed on him.
It was precisely this calm gaze that sent a chill through Wu Feng.
He could not help but recall the scenes from the previous two tis he was killed.
The first ti he was thrown off of a thirty-story building by this Demon, who watched with such a calm look.
The second ti his spine was shattered and he was sinking slowly in the water… The Demon stood emotionless on the shore, staring at him.
And now…
“With so many people around, do you dare to kill ?”
“Why wouldn’t I? Aren’t you a murderer?” Pei Jinye replied calmly as he approached.
Wu Feng imdiately took a step back, growling, “I never provoked you, why won’t you let go ti after ti!”
Pei Jinye’s eyebrows slightly raised as he resud his stance.
“Ti after ti?”
He pondered over the aning of these three words.
