Central State, Dawn City.
Mr. Han suddenly received a tip-off…
He fell silent for a moment, seemingly caught by surprise.
“He lost contact with you?”
“Yes, Sir Han Sen,” Xing Tian replied.
Mr. Han’s fingertips drummed on the tabletop. “What do you think his chances of survival are?”
“50%.”
“…”
Mr. Han remained silent, glancing at the time.
At this moment, Xing Tian added, “It’s been two hours and seventeen minutes since Pei Jinye left. For the nearest combat unit to arrive and erase any traces, we would have to wait at least another 20 minutes…”
Mr. Han didn’t reply; he merely adjusted his glasses at a leisurely pace. “We control at least 90% of the Lu Family’s situation; the remaining 10% is exactly where our doubts lie.
Isn’t our goal to lure out the manipulator behind the scenes? If something has indeed happened to him, it indicates that the hidden manipulator has emerged.
With that kid’s cunning, he should not have gotten into trouble…”
“Sir Han Sen,” Xing Tian suddenly interrupted Mr. Han’s muttering.
“Hmm? What is it?” Mr. Han looked up.
Xing Tian reported, “I’ve just scanned intelligence from the Southern Continent. There’s been an incident at the Western Fire League.”
“Tell me the details.”
“A mysterious organization attacked the Western Fire League Red Sword Hall. This is a video segment I intercepted from the secret network of the Southern Continent.”
The virtual screen displayed the projection.
Soon, Mr. Han saw ice giants, tens of meters tall, striding forward, storming into the base of the Western Fire League Red Sword Hall…
Behind them was a dense horde of wild beasts.
Like a torrent cascading down, they easily breached the steel-forged base and the castle.
Beneath billowing dust and smoke.
Mr. Han’s expression slowly filled with surprise.
But there was one thing he was particularly concerned about.
“Isn’t the head of Red Sword Hall named Tuoba Zhenglian?”
“Yes, Sir Han Sen,” Xing Tian replied.
“The leader of the Western Fire League halls must be on duty 24 hours a day. He should be here by now. Check his whereabouts,” Han Sen suddenly said.
Almost instantly, Xing Tian’s voice came through: “According to estimates, he was last seen near the Lu Family, and it seems to be related to the disappearance of Pei Jinye, but it cannot be confirmed yet.”
Han Sen closed his eyes, lost in thought.
He asked as if offhandedly, “Who do you think attacked the Western Fire League? I heard that the Old Gods Association was in conflict with them recently.”
“Yes, Sir Han Sen. The intelligence network of the Western Continent has now initiated a dormant self-check; everything is following standard procedure, so Star Ring has not interfered. It is not ruled out that the league’s branch in the Southern Continent suffered an attack from local organizations… Humans have a saying, ‘beating a dog in the water,'” Xing Tian stated calmly. “I estimate that in three months, I will also enter a dormant self-check, and by then, Central State can only rely on human manpower.”
Han Sen opened his eyes. “Why has this year’s self-check been moved up so early?”
“This decision was passed by the Federation’s council. I am not privy to the specifics,” Xing Tian replied truthfully.
Han Sen narrowed his eyes.
“Chaos has already emerged in the Southern Continent, and Star Ring is just letting it happen? Maybe… those people in the Federation are plotting something.”
Suddenly, Xing Tian said, “Sir Han Sen, I have good news for you. Pei Jinye’s wristband showed fluctuations; this proves that he is still alive…”
“Hmm?” Han Sen’s gaze brightened slightly, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “I knew this kid was clever.”
…
Twenty minutes ago.
In a forest in the Southern Continent.
Pei Jinye turned his head toward the deep, green pool next to him. A vortex churned the water, and a giant creature’s head emerged, its lantern-sized eyes slowly opening amidst the rising wind and thunder, a glint of blood-red light appearing.
The water waves burst open, the evaporated mist swirling out in all directions.
Pei Jinye showed no sign of panic. With a Sword Intent pinched in his hand and the Transcendent power of Beast Resonance activated, he calmly said, “I think there is still potential for cooperation between us, isn’t there?”
The creature was silent for a moment, seemingly wary of the Sword Intent in his hand.
Its aura gradually subsided.
A chest emerged from the water’s surface.
As the ripples spread, the chest was gently pushed towards Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye didn’t walk over; instead, he stretched out his hand, and a three-meter-tall Shadow Giant walked over, effortlessly picked up the chest, and placed it in front of him.
The chest opened.
Instantly, a golden light burst forth.
Countless gold coins and varieties of jewelry.
Worth at least ten million.
Ironically,
Pei Jinye had stepped on an Earth Dragon and passed by this spot, where he was attacked by alien beasts. A battle broke out between them, and during the creature in the deep pool’s release of oppressive might, Pei Jinye decisively used the Sword Intent gifted by the Sword Immortal. Both sides immediately calmed down.
Pei Jinye was impressed by its combat power.
The creature was wary of the powerful Sword Intent in his hand.
In the end, Pei Jinye cajoled and deceived the creature, resulting in the beast army Han Sen saw.
But for now,
Seeing a chest full of treasures, Pei Jinye remained indifferent, calmly looking towards the giant creature’s head: “I’ve let your offspring eat much more; according to the principle of equivalent exchange, you should give me commensurate compensation. This isn’t enough; I need something similar to this.”
Pei Jinye gestured with the Talisman Bead in his hand.
The giant creature seemed dissatisfied.
(Greedy.)
“This isn’t called greed; this is called equivalent exchange. You can’t say you ate two hundred people when you have only eaten one hundred, right? That’s not ethical. If word got out, who would want to cooperate with you?”
