Chapter 629: [467] So what if we slaughter this heaven! Devouring the Transcendent! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)_1
At the sa ti as Pei Jinye and Ms. Xu Jing had their clandestine eting, Da Peng City Hall was convening a high-level top-secret eting.
“This is a confidential list from Central State, of exceptional Awakeners who have attracted the attention of the Holy Alliance. Central State has issued the latest warning…”
Zhou Weiren looked at the high-level officials present, the Investigation Team, the Military Departnt, including the Night Patrol Departnt, all major law enforcent agencies were represented.
Pei Jinye’s na was also on this list.
“What is the Holy Alliance trying to do? Poach people?”
“I’m afraid it’s more than that. I’ve received information from Central State that the Holy Alliance plans to use these outstanding Awakeners from the Federation as test subjects for inhumane human experints.”
Zhou Weiren surveyed the people in attendance, “Effective imdiately, the city is under martial law. We will resolutely strike down any criminal activities, and a red-headed docunt from Central State has been issued. The Military Departnt, Investigation Team, and Night Patrol Departnt—you three agencies will coordinate the defense.”
“Understood.”
“Understood.”
Zhou Weiren didn’t hear a response from the Chief of the Night Patrol and turned his head to look, “Do you have any objections?”
“I have no objections, just thinking… why would the Holy Alliance specifically target Pei Jinye? Could the problem lie with him?”
The Chief of the Night Patrol was a man in his fifties with so dark circles under his eyes and a sowhat overweight figure.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the leader of the Investigation Team’s Base raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Zhou Weiren’s gaze remained steady: “Pei Jinye is a law-abiding person and has never had any dealings with the Holy Alliance.”
“Governor Zhou knows him that well?” the Chief of Night Patrol raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered, “Should we start looking into the people around him? An organization of the Holy Alliance’s level wouldn’t casually set their sights on soone here.”
Zhou Weiren didn’t speak but looked in a certain direction while the other was talking.
“Chief Chen!” the voice of the Investigation Team Leader suddenly rose, interrupting.
Chief of the Night Patrol Chen Qingli paused and looked over.
The Investigation Team Leader continued without changing his gaze, “I believe Chief Chen’s victim theory is biased. Today’s eting is about how to protect Federation citizens and combat cri, not to focus on the innocent and question why they have attracted the attention of criminal groups. Does Chief Chen really think Pei Jinye is at fault?”
Chief of Night Patrol Chen Qingli slightly furrowed his brows.
He didn’t understand why they were both so protective of Pei Jinye.
However, he quickly adjusted his thoughts and responded calmly, “I was just trying to clarify the situation as soon as possible; there was no intention of targeting anyone.”
“Then let’s tentatively believe what Chief Chen has said,” said the Investigation Team Leader languidly.
Chen Qingli frowned again.
But he did not speak further.
After the eting adjourned.
Everyone left the room.
In Zhou Weiren’s office, conversation could be heard, but there were only two people, Zhou Weiren and Investigation Team Leader Yang Shanhe.
“What do you think of this matter?” Zhou Weiren lit a cigarette he pulled from his desk.
“Not many people are aware of Pei Jinye’s S-level potential. Even if the news got out, it wouldn’t matter. Moreover, he has been involved in very few major operations since he joined, except in the Western Continent,” Yang Shanhe said, looking at Zhou Weiren.
“I’ve also thought about the Western Continent, but operations there are top secret, and few know about them.” Zhou Weiren took a deep drag on his cigarette, “Old Yang, I’m getting a bad feeling.”
Yang Shanhe’s gaze remained unchanged, “Corruption is inevitable; it’s just a matter of whether so dare to root out the rot. What’s broken must be remade.”
“Who knows whether the higher-ups dare to do it or not,” Zhou Weiren said finishing with a light laugh, “How’s Little Pei doing?”
Yang Shanhe looked at him and shook his head, “Don’t think about pulling him up for ; he’s already an Extraordinary Third Rank by himself; I can’t teach him anything.”
Zhou Weiren chuckled, “The old wave is pushed by the new; this new wave is pretty fierce, isn’t it?”
“Indeed. But the tall tree catches the wind; so things are just inevitable,” sighed Yang Shanhe lightly.
Zhou Weiren’s smile gradually faded; he knew what Yang Shanhe ant, “What happened in Central State was unexpected for everyone. Whatever lies ahead, we can only rely on ourselves.”
“Did you talk to him about which side to choose?” asked Yang Shanhe.
Zhou Weiren shook his head, “We didn’t get into details. Being able to grow up is evidence that he has his own cultivation thods; I don’t need to give unsolicited advice. His parents’ side, though, will need more of your attention.”
“Of course, not to ntion face-saving for you, he is after all an advisor at our Investigation Team’s Base,” said Yang Shanhe stably.
Zhou Weiren suddenly received a ssage at that mont, and his expression changed abruptly.
“What happened?” Yang Shanhe asked.
“Central State has intercepted the latest ssage; a squad suspected to be from the Holy Alliance has departed from the North Continent and is heading to Central State,” Zhou Weiren said gravely, muttering a curse, “Damn it; they’ve got their sights set on our Central State now. We can only hope Central State can hold on a little longer to buy us enough ti to prepare.”
“Storm clouds are gathering,” sighed Yang Shanhe softly.
“Dawn City has issued a strict order; every city must ensure the safety of the personnel on the list at all costs.”
“I understand.”
…
anwhile.
As dusk fell.
Pei Jinye had returned to the Jiang family after comforting his elderly parents.
“Master.”
Zhong Xuan hurried over.
Normally at tis like this, the master wouldn’t suddenly issue commands.
But today was different.
The master had contacted him out of the blue and specifically requested so contraband items.
“Have you brought everything I asked for?” Pei Jinye asked while wiping the longsword in his hand.
“Everything except the Elental Cannon has arrived,” Zhong Xuan spoke carefully, “Recently, Da Peng City has been on high alert, and it has been difficult to smuggle items in from the outside.”
“Soone will go for it; you need not be concerned with other matters,” Pei Jinye said tersely.
“Yes.”
Zhong Xuan withdrew.
Pei Jinye had stashed all the recovery resources in the backyard into his Storage Pendant.
A Flash Escape and he disappeared.
Twenty Elental Cannons were stored in a secret underground storage room outside the city; Pei Jinye took them all.
He had only one destination in mind for this trip.
The Holy Alliance Headquarters!
If others don’t offend , I won’t offend them. If others offend , I will blow up their lair!
The Holy Alliance currently had the audacity to target his public identity, and that was sothing Pei Jinye could not tolerate.
With his openly displayed Extraordinary Third Rank strength, he was certainly no match for the Holy Alliance.
But in reality?
He had to do sothing to shift the focus.
So, there were two objectives for this trip.
One was to divert everyone’s attention.
Secondly—
Revenge!
…
That evening, at eight forty-seven.
A young man, who looked utterly ordinary, walked down the bustling street, reaching for a bottle of beverage containing a recovery potion and pouring it down his throat.
As he was drinking and replenishing his body, due to the heavy pedestrian traffic, suddenly a young person nearly bumped into his back.
The man reached out and slapped.
He thwarted the attempt to steal the storage bag from his waist.
The would-be thief scread and stumbled backward.
Several figures quickly closed in from all around.
The man’s gaze remained calm.
He walked toward the alley entrance at an unhurried pace.
Bystanders shied away from the gloomy mouth of the alley, not daring to approach.
Both exits were blocked by people, cutting off his escape.
“Kid, you hit one of our Relief Society’s n, you have to pay up!”
“Right! Pay up!”
As those people shouted angrily, thinking to get closer and get physical, a sudden burst of light flared from within the alley.
The next second.
All of them were sent flying backward.
He struck to kill, showing no rcy!
Pei Jinye didn’t even lift his eyelids, continued to drink his nourishing potion unhurriedly, unable to summon even the slightest interest in these short-sighted thugs.
According to the route provided by those Holy Alliance people he rembered, he was aware that the headquarters of the Holy Alliance was right here.
He had been walking around Emperor Bai City for more than thirty minutes, all to figure out the spies the Holy Alliance had planted in Emperor Bai City.
This ti he had co here.
Not only to draw the attention of the Five Continents to this place but also to teach the Holy Alliance a lesson.
All preparations were ready.
Pei Jinye raised his hand.
A bird on the wall took flight, the call of birds from the North Continent was shriller than those from Central State.
The blackbird nuzzled Pei Jinye’s fingers, then reported their surveillance findings.
“Well done.”
Pei Jinye infused a strand of spiritual energy and slightly raised his eyebrows, palm flipping over to conceal his movents, as the blackbird sensed sothing and chirped sharply, spreading its wings to fly away.
“Friend, are you a Beast Master?”
An unexpected voice ca from behind him, off the roof of a single-story house, accompanied by a hint of malice emanating from the person.
Most likely, they had seen the Spirit Stone and had conceived a malicious intent.
Pei Jinye glanced over.
A number hovered above the man’s head: [100-101]
Almost instantly.
Pei Jinye’s figure vanished on the spot.
When he reappeared, his foot had already connected with the man’s neck.
The middle-aged man’s face changed slightly, he hastened to react, but space congealed around him, leaving him no chance to move. His eyes widened in terror as he helplessly watched the kick hit his neck.
“Crack!”
Before he died, a large hand clutched down.
“Enter Dream.”
Three seconds later, Pei Jinye opened his eyes.
A treasure-seeking device fell from the man’s body.
“An appetizer before the big battle, diocre.”
…
At the stroke of midnight.
Suddenly, the entire Emperor Bai City shook, a blaze shot up to the sky, lighting up the night as if it were day, leaving countless people stunned.
“Who is it!!!!!!”
Roaring voices could be faintly heard amidst the thunderous explosions.
Three hundred tons of TNT were detonated, this night, Emperor Bai City was destined to beco famous across the Five Continents.
…
In the Western Continent.
Inside the courtyard.
“An incident in the North Continent?” Elder Wuji raised an eyebrow.
He calculated with his fingers.
“Holy Alliance… a bloody disaster.”
The corner of his mouth curved with an indescribable, strange smile.
“Such strong malevolence.”
“Servants, add fuel to the fire!”
…
Within ten minutes of the explosion, major organizations across the Five Continents learned of the blast in Emperor Bai City.
Not everyone could calculate like Elder Wuji that the headquarters of the Holy Alliance was in Emperor Bai City.
But this explosion was enough to make Emperor Bai City famous.
The fire, howling in the wind, was like a demon god’s ferocious envoy.
In the shadows, the hidden glimr of blades and swords remained unnoticed by outsiders.
Pei Jinye rcilessly cut off the arm of the person in front of him with his sword, ignoring the blood splattering as he reached out and covered it.
He said softly:
“One hundred and eleventh person!”
“Enter Dream.”
