The night of Da Peng City was suddenly disrupted by a burst of gunfire.
Panic ensued.
The heavy rain, like a bucket of water poured over Da Peng City, came down in torrents.
…
“Master, the situation around Northern Ring Road has been sealed off, and no news has leaked out so far…”
The middle-aged butler had climbed out of bed the moment he heard the news.
Even with a million guts, he wouldn’t have thought that behind all this was the revered “Jiang Clan Manor Head” standing before him.
“It’s just a bit of rain and a few claps of thunder, what’s the rush?”
Jiang Qingcang, the Jiang Clan Manor Head, slowly glanced over.
The middle-aged butler quickly straightened his clothes and bowed his head in apology, “Master, you are right to correct me.”
Pei Jinye seemed to remember something, “Can you get a Yuanli Button?”
“Master, I’m afraid that might be difficult… Such magic weapons are scarce to begin with, and they are mostly found in major places, not in smaller ones like ours…” the middle-aged butler said rather troubled.
But still considerately asked, “Does Master need a magic weapon of the Psychic Class? DaFang Business Firm might have some, I will get a list.”
He glanced at his wristwatch.
The middle-aged butler said with concern, “Master, it’s getting late. You should rest now. The weather is turning cold; don’t hurt your health.”
…
A great fire circled above Da Peng City, resistant to the pouring rain that could not extinguish it immediately.
The lingering smoke could only tumble among the ruins, confined by the heavy rain, unable to display its fury.
Inside the back hill house, Pei Jinye was sitting in front of a cup of hot water, his eyes under the bright lights giving off a faint glow.
His “vision” spanned half the city, fixating on the battle scene.
He was lucky he hadn’t foolishly gone there alone.
With Teacher Chang’s current display of techniques, to put it precisely, he had no ability to handle it.
Although the consumption this time couldn’t guarantee Teacher Chang would be left with mere scraps of health, the old man clearly had wicked intentions in luring him out!
A Yuanli Button tumbled between his fingers.
Pei Jinye silently “watched” the battle unfold.
Even a Yuanli Button couldn’t ensure his survival from certain death!
However, to his surprise, Teacher Chang, desperate and cornered, still managed to escape, even at the cost of an arm.
“This man’s tenacious life force is terrifyingly strong…”
Just as Pei Jinye was about to retract his sight.
Suddenly, he “saw” Chu Tianye move his lips, saying something unknown. He didn’t pursue the escaping Teacher Chang but withdrew instead.
The nearby soldiers also began to distance themselves.
Just as Pei Jinye seemed to realize something.
There was a “boom.”
A massive thud emanated from the void, resonating across the skies of Da Peng City.
In that instant.
At least one-third of the rain curtain in the sky suddenly froze, turning into a vacuum.
Even Pei Jinye, who was tens of kilometers away from the battlefield, felt a moment of dizziness.
When he looked again, the figure of Teacher Chang, who had been fleeing, was hit by a sudden descent of a laser from the sky and instantly turned into slag.
The God Exterminating Cannon!
Pei Jinye recognized it.
In that moment, he finally understood the Federation’s confidence.
God Exterminating Cannon, a mysterious trump card for the public, rarely seen in the public eye.
But to Pei Jinye… more accurately, to a certain memory he had devoured, he knew all too well that this weapon, which required the authorization of an entire continent, could eradicate nearly ninety-nine percent of the Transcendents in Da Peng City!
Because it was so powerful, it was named the “God Exterminating Cannon.”
Usually, to deploy it, it required a report to the city hall, data analysis by Xing Tian, and submission to the Central Continent Deliberation Room.
After all, it’s a highly lethal weapon, so the protocol to use it is extensive.
But undeniably…
The appearance of Teacher Chang had unsettled all of Da Peng City.
Even a handful of people in Central Continent felt uneasy.
Otherwise, such a complex approval process would not have been passed overnight in just a few hours.
Using electronic eyes, Pei Jinye watched as Teacher Chang turned to ash in the world for the last time, departing in a definitive manner.
Confronted and even skipped questioning by him, without a single piece of the sought-after information… there was only eradication!
This kind of annihilation obviously had a sense of urgency, as if unwilling to let some information spread.
Pei Jinye shivered for a moment.
What did it mean to stand opposite the Federation…
Pei Jinye sighed.
It was rather regrettable that such a powerful figure couldn’t be devoured by him; he was very eager for Teacher Chang’s memories!
Watching as the Night Patrol Department and the Military Department began to repair the scene, he withdrew from spectating.
For him.
Whether joining the Old Gods Association or the Federation.
Essentially, he was only seeking a reasonable claim to resources for himself.
Publicly, he was an outstanding graduating student at No.2 Middle School of Da Peng City, now employed by the Central Continent Independent Law Enforcement Investigation Team, enjoying a public position.
In secret, he remained a member of the notorious criminal organization, Old Gods Association, with prospects of promotion to a core member.
He also acquired an additional identity as the Jiang Clan Manor Head.
While it seemed easy for him to gain control, in fact, if not for the memories from before, he would not have had such a smooth transition… after all, if it weren’t for the last-minute support from Silver Art and her companions, it would have been hard to say whether Pei Jinye could have escaped at all.
