Chapter 878: 【680】Crush! Crazy Promotion! (5K for monthly pass subscription)_3 Chapter 878: 【680】Crush! Crazy Promotion! (5K for monthly pass subscription)_3 “Be careful!” Suddenly, a plump man hurriedly shouted.
As his words fell,
a whooshing sound was heard.
“Phut—”
Several leaves shattered; before they could even hit the ground, an arrow had already pierced the heart of soone in the crowd, lifting them off the ground with imnse force.
As he landed, fresh blood sprayed from his mouth. He couldn’t utter a single word before his breath ceased.
“Life!” soone scread.
The middle-aged man shouted imdiately, “Everyone, scatter!”
He grabbed a bald young man by his side. The bald young man understood, and everyone dispersed in panic.
From the depths of the jungle,
masked assassins in camouflage uniforms, wielding weapons, rapidly approached.
“It’s Palace Ji’s Assassins!”
“These damned bastards!”
As the crowd recognized the assailants, they were instantly enraged.
When Palace Ji’s Assassins got close, everyone charged out.
“Bang!”
The sound of a long sword striking a sturdy shield was loud; the bald young man lunged from the side, grabbing the Palace Ji assassin in front of him.
The middle-aged man took the opportunity to swing away the opponent’s shield, holding his swords in both hands, and slashed the opponent’s throat.
“Puchi!”
Hot blood splattered on the bald young man’s face, but before he could rejoice, “Be careful!”
Behind the middle-aged man, a Palace Ji assassin had already thrust a dagger forward.
“Puchi—”
Unexpectedly, the assassin was bisected at the waist.
When the middle-aged man turned his head, a splash of blood hit his face, the searing heat causing him to shudder.
“What happened?”
This question only flashed through his mind once.
Then he saw a stranger rush forward, and with a swing of his hand, those Palace Ji assassins were flung away.
Pei Jinye moved as if he knew each Palace Ji assassin, hitting precisely those engaged with the Special Investigation Departnt every ti he struck.
His arrival astonished everyone present.
“Boss…”
The bald young man watched as Pei Jinye forcefully pushed forward, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Not just him, even the middle-aged man found it unbelievable.
This strength…
It was far greater than theirs!
Although they did not understand why Pei Jinye needed to touch each ti before he struck, the overwhelming combat power still made their hearts skip a beat.
…
He slew over a dozen Palace Ji assassins in succession.
[Little aning Golden Snake Art]’s proficiency was greatly improved.
The deeper this cultivation technique was practiced, the higher the defense it provided to the physical body.
On the road chasing a werewolf, he unexpectedly encountered a group of Palace Ji assassins. It seed they mistook him for a person from Sumr Country and thus intended to quietly eliminate him.
However, they had kicked an iron plate and brought extinction upon themselves.
In just three minutes, the slaughter was over.
Pei Jinye looked at the attribute panel where [Little aning Golden Snake Art] had successfully reached Great Success.
…
“Elder…” The middle-aged man represented the Special Investigation Departnt in expressing gratitude to Pei Jinye.
He didn’t know Pei Jinye’s na, so he could only call him elder.
Pei Jinye looked at them, “I know of a Palace Ji stronghold nearby, are you interested in taking them down together?”
The middle-aged man was stunned.
“If you’re not willing, never mind.” Pei Jinye turned to leave.
“Elder, it’s not that I’m unwilling; I just need to report back first,” the middle-aged man hurriedly said.
Pei Jinye humd, “You have three minutes at most. If no contact is made within twenty minutes, people at the stronghold will know sothing has happened to these assassins.”
The middle-aged man, hearing this, dared not delay any longer.
After getting through on the phone, he quickly reported the situation; the response on the other end was quite straightforward.
“Approved.”
…
It took less than ten minutes.
Pei Jinye had already led the people from the Special Investigation Departnt to the stronghold.
…
anwhile.
Outside in the camp in the forest,
The elder looked at the display on the map.
Soone entered the tent behind him, “Leader, did you call ?”
The person entering was the female mber who had previously made contact with Pei Jinye.
The elder looked at her and said solemnly, “I just received news that an hour ago, that hermit you encountered at the Red Grass Warehouse reappeared, and he is currently chasing Palace Ji’s people.”
“Chasing Palace Ji’s people?” The female mber was clearly stunned, her complexion changing slightly, “Leader, could he be one of our own?”
The elder shook his head, “We can’t be certain of that. The rebellion back then caused a lot of information to disappear, nowadays the talk of hermits only exists in the files, nearly a myth.”
Yet, the female mber said, “Back at the Red Grass Warehouse, I could be certain; he is not soone who kills the innocent indiscriminately, otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved that girl… Chasing Palace Ji now and protecting our Sumr Country undoubtedly further indicates his relationship with us… perhaps there is so hardship behind it.”
“I am also inclined to this guess. Currently, I have made contact with the higher-ups, and any action regarding this matter is strictly confidential,” the elder slowly stated. “The higher-ups have also emphasized not to probe too deeply into his identity to avoid any unpleasantness, and moreover…I think, considering the attitude he has shown…I believe there is potential for cooperation.”
“Do you want to bring people for support?” The female mber quickly asked.
The elder waved his hand, “No need, the Cabinet has already dispatched experts from Five Elents Mountain. If they make it in ti, they will et him in ten minutes.”
“The Cabinet has directly assigned Five Elents Mountain masters?” The female mber was taken aback, her face sowhat moved, “Those seniors from Five Elents Mountain usually wouldn’t interfere with such matters; having them directly involved must an the higher-ups are worried he might be injured?”
She instinctively felt this concern was unnecessary.
But then thought…
If the experts from Five Elents Mountain were indeed involved, the situation could be promptly controlled.
Yet, just ten minutes later,
The elder received a frontline notification.
“… Palace Ji’s secret base has been completely eradicated, killing 23 Palace Ji mbers on the spot, capturing 7, seizing smuggled goods over 3 tons…”
The elder was stunned.
“Did the people from Five Elents Mountain go that early?”
On the phone, the middle-aged man looked puzzled, “Five Elents Mountain, which Five Elents Mountain? Are they also coming?”
The elder’s eyes widened.
