Chapter 535: 【403】 Attributes Surge! Solo Trip to the Murder Feast in the Western Continent (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)_1
The woman who pushed open the door looked at Pei Jinye, gave a slight nod, and then left the shop.
“Auntie.”
A familiar little girl’s voice came from behind.
Pei Jinye didn’t look up; they passed by each other without disturbing one another.
“Jinye?” Master Nan was somewhat surprised to see Pei Jinye appear.
“Master Nan, long time no see,” Pei Jinye said, holding roasted chicken and liquor in his hand.
The alias he used in North Continent was the homophonic separation of Jinye.
“Where have you been during this time?” Master Nan quickly wiped the dust from his hands, “I wanted to give you the Ruyi Jingu Bang before, but you weren’t here, and your sister had also gone on a long journey…”
He led Pei Jinye into the Refining Device Room.
As soon as Pei Jinye approached, he felt a scorching breath, although the refining furnace was already sealed.
“Is that the scent of Cold Crystal?” Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.
“I had some on hand, so I added a bit for you,” Master Nan indicated. “Do you want to take it now?”
“Master Nan, isn’t this furnace fire a bit unusual?” Pei Jinye asked knowingly, but he also felt uncertain about the refining furnace; he sensed that the fire was enhancing the Golden Cudgel every second.
Master Nan’s explanation confirmed Pei Jinye’s guess.
He hadn’t expected the refining furnace to be a Sealing Object, and it seemed to be of no low grade.
Pei Jinye bore all the expenses of storing it at Master Nan’s place on his own.
He knew that the other party was doing it for the sake of his cheap sister Red Lotus, but his own affairs were his responsibility.
With a gesture,
A large amount of Refining Device Materials appeared before him, including the Flame Essence that Master Nan needed most.
“This…” Master Nan was stunned on the spot.
So many Refining Device Materials, he didn’t even dare to dream of them.
Why did it feel like a wholesale market when they were in “Huo Jin’s” hands?
“Same as always, Master Nan, you have been a great help to me, and I couldn’t possibly let you help for nothing. Also…” Pei Jinye smiled, “I’ll probably have to cooperate with you in the long term, Master Nan. These materials are my gift to you.”
Master Nan’s mouth gradually dropped open.
Pei Jinye introduced the Jiang family to Master Nan: “In the future, the Jiang family will supply materials. They don’t ask for much, just provide a few potent weapons each month, Master Nan.”
The Jiang family’s business needed some heat to attract more affiliates for him.
Master Nan hesitated somewhat.
Seeing his difficulty, Pei Jinye understood and said, “I know you don’t want to make a public appearance, Master Nan, so you don’t need to show your face in this business. It’s just using a little more material to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you… and about the Jiang family, Master Nan, you don’t have to worry, the people you will be dealing with are all my trusted allies.”
Only then did Master Nan agree to come on board.
Since it was rare for Pei Jinye to come to North Continent, he did not plan to leave so soon.
More importantly,
Compared to Central State, North Continent inherently had a more diverse variety of Transcendents, and because the local customs were fierce, the controls here were not as strict as those in Central State.
“Master, the meal is ready,” Zhong Xuan said respectfully.
Pei Jinye closed the booklet in his hands.
However, at that moment, Jiang Xinrun said in a low voice, “Master, someone is secretly spying on us.”
“Go check out the situation,” Pei Jinye said casually.
“Yes.”
Jiang Xinrun opened the door just as he was about to leave.
Pei Jinye’s voice came through again, “Come back for dinner as soon as you’re done.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
Jiang Xinrun sped up even more.
Zhong Xuan seemed rather worried.
“What’s troubling you?” Pei Jinye’s voice sounded.
Zhong Xuan quickly lowered his head, “Family Head.”
Pei Jinye looked on with a calm gaze.
Zhong Xuan elaborated carefully, “After checking in today, I noticed that there’s something not quite right about this hotel.”
“What’s not quite right?” Pei Jinye slightly raised an eyebrow.
He had been away for a while, and the house had been left to Jiang Xinrun and Zhong Xuan.
“When I went downstairs to change the door card, I inadvertently caught sight of bloodstains inside the storeroom…” Zhong Xuan said in a low voice.
Pei Jinye tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Invisible brainwaves spread out.
Soon, they met a wall.
Pei Jinye, expressionless, broke right through. A muffled groan came from a room downstairs, followed by cries of fright and pleas for mercy.
Like the king of the psychic network, Pei Jinye mercilessly trampled the other’s “sneak-peek,” and the moment he arrived with his fearsome divine might, the fate of the intruder was sealed.
Pei Jinye didn’t bother with these small fries, browsing through the intruder’s network information instead.
To his surprise,
The hotel turned out to be a secret stronghold covertly controlled by a certain gang.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” Pei Jinye said, easing Zhong Xuan’s concerns.
In less than three minutes,
Jiang Xinrun returned, a bit of bloodstain on his clothing corner, “Family Head, I’ve interrogated him. It was someone from the Huang Family.”
“Western Continent Huang Family?” Zhong Xuan was the first to freeze.
When they were in Da Peng City, he had received countless messages from the Huang family.
Naturally, he knew the countless refusals from the head of his house.
So when Jiang Xinrun said the person was from the Huang family, he was shocked enough to lift his head and look towards Pei Jinye.
He was still somewhat worried.
He was just an ordinary person,
If they decided to take action, then he… could only hide behind the Family Head.
He couldn’t help but look up secretly at Pei Jinye again.
“The Huang Family.” Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes, “What did they say?”
“They said it was an unintended offense,” Jiang Xinrun said softly. “But I still finished him off.”
Zhong Xuan looked on in astonishment.
Jiang Xinrun didn’t pay attention to him and continued, “The Huang Family people are secretly watching us. I checked their phones, and they’ve already sent the news of us being here to the Western Continent.”
He handed over the phone.
Pei Jinye took the phone.
The message on it clearly stated their whereabouts.
However, the Western Continent Huang Family hadn’t sent any further instructions.
“Buzz buzz.”
Just as Pei Jinye set the phone on the table, it suddenly vibrated.
All three people in the room turned their gaze towards it.
Pei Jinye nodded, giving a signal.
Jiang Xinrun answered the call and switched it to speakerphone.
“Elder Jiang, what an honor,” came a young man’s voice from inside.
Jiang Xinrun looked towards Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye said indifferently, “The Huang Family’s prowess is not small, indeed. But why bother an old man like me?”
“Elder Jiang jokes,” the young man’s voice was relaxed. “I know some matters have caused misunderstandings between us. In fact, I’ve always wanted to have a conversation with you, Elder, but regrettably, my subordinates lacked discretion and failed to convey my intentions, causing unnecessary concern for Elder Jiang.”
Pei Jinye didn’t speak.
The young man didn’t seem to mind, “About Qi Zhonglu, it’s a personal grudge of mine. I have no intention of involving the Jiang family, and I hope Elder Jiang won’t interfere in this matter.”
“When have I ever interfered?” Pei Jinye said lightly, “Do whatever you want.”
“Qi Zhonglu’s daughter…”
The young man didn’t finish his sentence, as Pei Jinye cut him off expressionlessly, “The Huang Family, as a renowned clan, is really disgraceful, going after a young girl like that.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “With all due respect, if I wish so, your Jiang family wouldn’t be able to stop me.”
“Try it.”
Pei Jinye’s succinct response caused the young man to swallow the rest of his words.
Both parties fell silent for a second.
Pei Jinye was about to end the conversation with a gesture of his hand.
At that moment, the young man suddenly spoke up, “I heard Elder Jiang has been stuck at the Third Rank for a long time and has just recently made a breakthrough. It seems that you have made no progress towards the Fifth Rank. The Huang Family is never short of Extraordinary Fifth Rank powers. If Elder Jiang is willing, we can lend you a helping hand.”
Inside the room, Zhong Xuan, hearing the young master of the Huang Family’s “offer,” couldn’t help but look up at the family head.
Extraordinary Fifth Rank…
If the Jiang family really could produce an Extraordinary Fifth Rank figure, not to mention Da Peng City, even half of Central State would be theirs to roam freely.
Jiang Xinrun looked toward Pei Jinye.
He believed the family head could certainly reach the Extraordinary Fifth Rank.
Just like how no one thought the family head could break through his limit, yet he did.
Jiang Xinrun considered himself as the one who had accompanied the family head the longest, especially after the breakthrough, even more so than before.
Thus, he knew of the family head’s strength even clearer.
He too looked towards the family head, awaiting his response.
Yet, he saw Pei Jinye reply indifferently, as calm as always, “An Extraordinary Fifth Rank is strong?”
The Huang Family’s young master was left speechless.
Pei Jinye said indifferently, “Hang up.”
Jiang Xinrun pressed the end call button, and the conversation ended at Pei Jinye’s will.
…
“Damn it!”
In the Western Continent, somewhere.
A phone was smashed to pieces.
The Huang Family’s young master yelled out, “Wild Tiger!”
“Present.”
A muffled voice rose from the doorway.
The young master’s face was grim, about to issue the order to kill Jiang Qingcang, but the next second he forcefully retracted that thought.
“This old fellow is really stubborn! If not for considering Central State’s stance, I’d really like to kill him right now!”
Wild Tiger, with his large frame, knelt on one knee with hands clasped in salute. He showed no dissatisfaction with the young master’s silence, maintaining his posture.
This time, the young master said coldly, “Go check, I want to know who is backing Jiang Qingcang!”
Having the confidence to not regard an Extraordinary Fifth Rank as a concern deserved his vigilance.
“Yes!”
The towering figure exited the doorway.
The Huang Family’s young master narrowed his gaze, looking sinister.
“Da Peng City… the Jiang family… Without Sun Ruofan’s biological information, we can’t control Qi Zhonglu… This is truly troublesome, that old man is really arrogant!”
…
Zhong Xuan looked at Pei Jinye, somewhat bewildered.
The phrase from just before resonated in his mind… “Is an Extraordinary Fifth Rank strong?”
He felt invigorated for a moment.
Jiang Xinrun crushed the phone into pieces.
Then he sat down next to Pei Jinye and started eating, picking up his chopsticks as Pei Jinye did.
Zhong Xuan suddenly felt out of place.
…
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
Having touched the Attribute Light Group, Pei Jinye exhaled deeply.
This time, he gained free attribute points.
With this, his Three Attribute Values successfully broke through the 900 mark.
Feeling the vigorous power in his body, Pei Jinye felt as if he were about to explode.
Night fell.
He put on his mask and headed to the Western Continent alone.
