Chapter 336: ?264?The life of the young master is worth a fortune, Pei Mou stepping in (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)_1
The afternoon in Da Peng City was shrouded in overcast clouds, making the weather somewhat chilly, and pedestrians on the road had switched to down jackets early on.
At this moment.
Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
The magnetic device was activated.
Under the influence of the Lord of Element’s Extraordinary Talent, Pei Jinye, dressed in thin clothes, clearly felt the power emanating from the magnetic device, which affected not only the Spirit Soil but also enveloped him.
Previously inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Wang Hewei had already experimented with it.
Even if some among them had elemental abilities, they could not achieve Pei Jinye’s fivefold enhancement. This kind of sensitivity to elemental aura was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.
After feeling it out briefly.
The upper limit of his spiritual power only increased by 0.1 after an hour, which wasn’t to say that there was no effect, but Pei Jinye decisively used the magnetic device on the Spirit Land instead.
Once he mastered the methods of forging in the future, he wouldn’t worry about lacking opportunities to forge Sealing Objects related to spiritual power.
The Bluebird landed near the Spirit Soil, its head tilted as it kept eyeing the magnetic device.
Pei Jinye got up to cultivate.
Play of Five Animals, “Twelve Lotuses”, including the Four Seasons Talisman practiced by Federation personnel.
…
He pulled up the attribute panel.
Third Blood Refining: 99%;
Still unmoving.
“Where exactly did the mistake occur?” Pei Jinye fell into deep thought.
“Buzz, buzz.”
The phone vibrated.
Gu Wutong had sent a message.
[Are you free tonight?]
Pei Jinye picked up the phone.
“Speak.”
The next second, Gu Wutong called him directly.
“You’re not sleeping, huh?”
Pei Jinye glanced at the sky, “It’s only five in the afternoon, do you usually sleep this early?”
“Haha, I was worried about waking you up.”
Gu Wutong’s awkward conversation made Pei Jinye raise his eyebrows, “Spit it out, what’s up?”
Gu Wutong fell silent on the other side of the phone for a moment, “Some opponent is looking for trouble with me, and I don’t have any friends over here to back me up…”
“Time, location,” Pei Jinye said succinctly.
Gu Wutong seemed taken aback by Pei Jinye’s straightforwardness.
“You… aren’t even going to ask who it is that’s causing me trouble?”
“I find it troublesome,” Pei Jinye said casually, “Don’t overthink it, you handle the fight yourself, I’ll just back you up.”
“That’s a given,” Gu Wutong said with a grin upon hearing this, “Buddy! If I were a woman, I would definitely fall for you! Handsome and magnanimous…”
“Enough with the flattery,” Pei Jinye urged, “Time and location.”
“Thirty minutes from now, at the river bank.”
…
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Pei Jinye sat in Gu Wutong’s car, toying with the machete in his hand.
“Are we expecting bloodshed today?”
“A life-and-death fight,” Gu Wutong said as if he was used to such events.
Pei Jinye nodded, “Are you confident?”
“I am, but I’m just worried the other party will resort to dirty tricks,” Gu Wutong parked the car not far from the river bank and gestured towards the figure at the entrance, “I told you, this guy challenges me to a fight and then brings so many people along.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
Along the river bank, more than a dozen motorcycles were parked, with fewer young men and women and a notable number of robust brawny figures instead.
At this moment.
On the riverside, the muddy waves churned and surged fiercely.
A figure stood amidst the howling wind, their clothes flapping loudly in the river breeze.
“Third bro, the guys are here,”
a chubby man said in a low voice beside him, “and they brought an extra hand with them.”
The young man referred to as “third bro”, named Ming Lu, was the third grandson of the current Governor of Storm City. He looked contemptuously towards the approaching car, “It’s unimportant.”
“Gu Wutong is as cringeworthy as ever,” he said with a light chuckle.
The chubby man beside him immediately looked at the arriving car with a mocking gaze, “What era are we in for him still to be playing individual heroics.”
The car stopped ten meters away.
Gu Wutong pulled out the machete from inside the vehicle and closed the car door.
Seeing this, Ming Lu hopped off the rocky platform and said without looking back, “Set up the Light Shield, I don’t want our business to cause panic.”
“Yes, third bro.”
The chubby man waved his hand.
In the woods not far off, the sound of firearms being readied could be heard.
Following a loud bang,
a spectacular arc of blue light instantly tore the silence of the riverside at dusk, casting a dome-like Light Shield as blue as the sky itself.
To outsiders, everything within the Light Shield was invisible.
…
“Rare indeed that he’s even prepared such things,” Gu Wutong looked up at the sky-blue Light Shield, “Old Pei, do you think they’ll play dirty?”
“Don’t panic, I’ve already notified your mom.”
“Hm??? When did you get my mom’s contact information?”
“That’s not important.”
“??? Then what is important?”
“Your mom says if you can’t win, just run, she doesn’t have time to save you.”
“…That sure sounds like my mom.”
Gu Wutong seemed already resigned to his fate, “Leave my back to you then. I’ll handle the Ming guy; if anyone tries anything sneaky, you help me out… though hopefully, this guy isn’t that ruthless… but should I make it out alive, I’m dragging you to the Ming family to demand compensation.”
“Does it have to sound so tragic?” Pei Jinye chuckled, “Had you said so earlier, I would’ve brought a weapon too.”
“I’ve got something for you,” Gu Wutong smoothly took out the Autumn Frost Sword from the car door.
He flashed a smile at Pei Jinye.
“Isn’t that considerate?”
“…”
Pei Jinye accepted the sword, moving with Gu Wutong towards the riverside.
Dozens of eyes landed on the two of them.
Gu Wutong stepped forward, “Ming, you’re so afraid of dying, bringing all these people! If you’re afraid, then beg granddad for mercy; he might be in a good mood and spare you!”
Ming Lu had a stony expression while the chubby man couldn’t stand it and burst out angrily, “Gu Wutong, if you kneel down and apologize to Third Bro now, he might just spare your life later on.”
