Chapter 408: [325] Attribute Points sprinting towards two hundred! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)
 

“Something has happened in Central State…”

Atop a pavilion of the Gongsun Family.

Gongsun Qianlong furrowed his brows, calculating something with his fingers.

“The Seven Stars obscure, unpredictable? How could this be?”

He calculated again, this time for the Western Continent.

“The aura of Dragon Valley has clearly ended… Why do I still feel this sense of palpitation?”

“Young master, the family has asked for you to come over, saying it’s about the distribution of the alien species,” the young man at the door called out softly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he flinched under Gongsun Qianlong’s piercing gaze.

However, by the time he looked again, Gongsun Qianlong had reverted to his usual calm and low-key demeanor, with none of the sharpness from a moment ago, making the young man wonder if he had imagined it.

“Young master?” he asked again, cautiously.

Gongsun Qianlong stood up and said, “Tell them I’m about to die and not to bother me unless it’s important.”

“Young master?” The young man at the door was stunned.

Gongsun Qianlong closed the door, turned around, thought for a moment, and quickly picked up a bag to pack, muttering to himself.

“It’s a malevolent aura; this accursed place is no longer safe. The fate of the Gongsun family is sealed; I need to find a way to escape and drain all of their luck before I go… Better to live disgracefully than to die honorably; better to benefit myself than a stranger!”

…

…

He brought up the attribute panel.

[Vitality Value]: 177-186.1 Card;

[Stamina]: 174-186.2;

[Psychic Power]: 170-188;

Although the devouring power had declined, devouring a First Rank Transcendent only cost about three attribute points.

For Pei Jinye, this was not a significant loss.

The Nagano stronghold hadn’t fallen into Han Sen’s hands, and since the sealing of the mirror in Nagano, Pei Jinye had already assessed his capabilities in Central State.

That was why he had contacted Elder Wuji of the Old Gods Association.

The wicked shall grind the wicked!

And on the side of Central State…

Pei Jinye narrowed his gaze and reached out for a longsword.

A thunderclap sounded in the sky.

Rain poured down heavily. Before the large drops could hit him, Pei Jinye’s figure had already vanished from the spot.

That day, a man with a sword entered Black City, leaving a trail of blood three feet wide and countless dead and injured.

…

“Something’s wrong.”

Inside a military base in Shang Huai City territory, a Transcendent with keen hearing picked up on external sounds, but whatever was heard left the expression utterly horrified.

This inevitably sparked curiosity among the others.

“What happened?”

Gu Wutong, equally curious, looked on from the crowd.

He noticed that the military base had activated its protective shield and his heart skipped a beat, but then he thought of his friend who had just died in a plane crash.

Gu Wutong felt an inexplicable irritation.

Suddenly, a soldier returned to the base, “All personnel, check your weapons. By order of Central State, we have located a rebel army hideout…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Wutong immediately requested to join the battle but was denied permission.

The task force, ready to carry out the order, could only stay within the base.

However, the expected rigorous inspection never took place.

It seemed as though the situation changed after the inspector received a call from Dawn City in the Central Continent.

“Young Master Gu, this way, please,” someone approached Gu Wutong and spoke softly.

Gu Wutong looked up, said nothing but nodded slightly, and followed the person to a closed room nearby.

The room was empty except for a table, which held a satellite phone.

The person said nothing more, only gesturing with a hand before leaving and closing the door.

Gu Wutong paused, then picked up the satellite phone.

“Hello?”

“Why do you sound so gloomy?” Ms. Xu Jing’s voice teased.

“Stop it, I’m serious,” Gu Wutong replied with a smirk. To be honest, the image of Pei Jinye’s plane exploding still occasionally flashed through his mind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How long have you two known each other that you’re already taking it to heart?” Ms. Xu Jing asked, puzzled.

Gu Wutong sighed: “You don’t understand, this is the bond between men. The first time I saw him, I thought he was a very reserved person… No, that’s wrong, he seemed harmless but was actually ruthless. But after getting to know him, I realized he’s not bad, he’s just particularly fierce when he strikes and good to his own people…”

And when I spar with him, he’s the only one I don’t have to hold back against…”

The most important thing is that I gave him a sword, and he returned the favor with a valuable scabbard. That guy is really generous… What a pity, the heavens are jealous of talented individuals. Do you have any news? Who did it? Can I issue a kill order in the name of the Gu Family?”

Ms. Xu Jing interrupted ruthlessly: “The reputation of the Gu Family doesn’t scare anyone. If your second great-uncle were still alive, it might have some weight, but now… it all depends on whether you can make something of yourself.”

“What? Are we that weak?” Gu Wutong pulled at the corner of his mouth, greatly disappointed, but still insisted, “Who is the real culprit behind the scenes?”

“The Western Fire League,” Ms. Xu Jing said.

“Damn it, it’s them!” Gu Wutong was stunned. When he was thrown out to experience hardship, he had often heard of the Western Fire League’s notorious reputation.

This is an international organization that commits all kinds of evil.

“How did they get embroiled with them? Central State, what’s happening? Being stepped on the nose and remaining silent won’t do, not retreating like a tortoise, right?” Gu Wutong immediately said.

“Since learning of this incident, a cleanup operation against the Western Fire League has already begun in all of Central State. You probably don’t know how much they value that good brother of yours,” Ms. Xu Jing said with a sigh.

After speaking, she suddenly added, “Did I tell you that he’s not dead?”

“What?” Gu Wutong was stunned, “You just said… he’s not dead? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

“Oh, it seems I didn’t say it just now,” Ms. Xu Jing said: “It’s been confirmed, he’s still alive. And he made contact himself.”

“Damn, where’s Old Pei?” Gu Wutong’s eyes reddened: “To think I’ve been grieving over him for so long! Is he hurt? Is it serious? Where is he now? Is he safe?”

“Stop there, don’t ask so much. All his information is now confidential. I can tell you that he is not injured,” Ms. Xu Jing said: “I’m telling you this now because I have to entrust you with a task. Your second uncle will give you a special pass that allows you to go out on a mission.

Remember, this is not a drill. The opponents you will face are all strong, and they’re all merciless demon heads, be mentally prepared.”

“I’ve been ready for a long time. Tell me, what do I need to do?” Gu Wutong’s mood greatly improved upon learning that Pei Jinye was not dead, and he was eager to try.

“Your task is to participate in a cleanup mission targeting some secret operatives of the Western Fire League in Shang Huai City. I’ll say it again, this is not a drill. If you show any mercy, the only one dying will be you,” Ms. Xu Jing said earnestly.

“I understand,” Gu Wutong was about to hang up when he suddenly added, “Mom, I really miss you.”

After speaking, he proactively hung up the phone.

…

Dawn City.

Ms. Xu Jing looked at the satellite phone that was hung up in astonishment, then chuckled to herself: “Cheeky kid.”

She looked up and asked,

“What’s the word from Western Continent?”

Han Sen replied unhurriedly, “The Ouyang Family has gotten involved, and things have gone beyond their expectations… Nagano’s defection is almost a certainty, but it’s still unknown who the mastermind behind the scenes is.”

Ms. Xu Jing sighed and suddenly asked, “Do you… really believe in Pei Jinye that much?”

Han Sen looked at her wordlessly.

Ms. Xu Jing just smiled: “I heard that Star Ring descended upon Dragon Valley… I’m not sure.”

She didn’t press further.

Han Sen just looked at her deeply and said softly, “Let’s put an end to the matter of Dragon Valley. This is not what I intended, and you should not ask too many questions, lest it brings trouble.”

“I understand, it’s only because it’s you that I made casual small talk,” Ms. Xu Jing giggled, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”

“Take care,” Han Sen said.

The voice came from behind Ms. Xu Jing as she turned to look at him, “Same as always, a pleasure working with you.”

She waved and left.

Han Sen sat alone in his office, lost in thought… It seemed like many years ago, under a setting sun, a sister appeared in his world as if she had descended from the heavens.

“Xing Tian, is this world… really changing?”

[Respected Sir Han Sen, according to current scientific and Transcendent observations, the world is changing every moment,] Xing Tian replied calmly.

“Is that so?” Han Sen responded rhetorically.

“How many people have to die before it can be considered over?”

…

“Pfft!”

A sword pierced through the physical body, and Pei Jinye emotionlessly lifted his hand, sending the corpse in front of him flying with a Shock.

Gang Qi rolled around him.

It isolated the torrential rain from pouring down on him.

The Western Fire League assassin who died probably never expected why the sword could pass through the rain and stab into his heart without any obstacles.

“The ninety-seventh person…” Pei Jinye silently counted in his heart.

With an unchanged expression, he stepped into the courtyard.

“Continue the fight?”
