A muffled grunt.
The Gang Qi barrier in front of the middle-aged man blocked Pei Jinye’s punch, but the man was still pushed back more than ten meters, forcefully blasted out of the dust wave.
By the time the middle-aged man charged in, Pei Jinye’s figure had already disappeared, leaving only a line of words in front of him.
[In three days, I will take your dog life!]
“Bang!”
The middle-aged man, full of rage, stomped the words into the ground.
“Kill me in three days?” The middle-aged man’s face twisted viciously, setting aside the fact that he had been punched back, it was not the blatant message left to humiliate him that angered him so much.
What enraged him was that the Demon Bone had actually been stolen by the opponent!
“Respectful Envoy, some of our brothers didn’t manage to retreat in time and were hit by the backlash of the Demon Bone,” a figure knelt on one knee and lowered his head to report.
The middle-aged man’s eyes nearly burst with fury, “It’s all because of that guy!”
He turned around.
Suppressing the rage in his heart, he said, “Search! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground of Ghost Mountain Market, we must find out who that person is!”
“Yes, Respectful Envoy!”
The subordinate quickly left.
The middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the ruins of the building in front of him.
A red-haired woman appeared behind the middle-aged man, “Tsk, all this commotion just to deal with that person, if he’s not dead, wouldn’t you have made a big loss? I heard your men took on a kill order, that’s why you’re bent on killing him?”
“No Psychic Class Transcendent can withstand the backlash of the Demon Bone. As for those groundless matters, why are you so preoccupied with them?” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than the image of the mysterious person he had encountered before sprung to his mind.
His heart sank.
That person could actually trigger the Demon Bone.
“Get me all the information on Pei Jinye,” the middle-aged man suddenly said.
The red-haired woman raised her eyebrows, surprised, “What happened? Could he really be alive?”
The middle-aged man ignored her.
After entering the information, he compared it to the body type of the man in the mask from before.
As he waited for the results, for some reason, the middle-aged man felt uneasy.
He was even a bit nervous.
If everything turned out as he expected, it meant they had possibly underestimated Pei Jinye’s abilities from the start.
“The intelligence network from Central Continent has started to take over the signals here, we need to evacuate,” announced the red-haired woman after receiving the information.
However, the middle-aged man did not look up at her, his voice laden with concerns, “I know, arrange for someone to pull back first.”
As he was speaking.
The device in front of them flashed an error warning.
“Beep beep!”
“The two specimens do not come from the same biological system.”
Relief washed over the middle-aged man upon seeing that Pei Jinye and the masked man were not the same person.
His mood lightened.
He reiterated, “No Psychic Class Transcendent can resist the Demon Bone’s backlash!”
“We’ve got 5 seconds before we’re completely exposed under Xing Tian’s surveillance. Time to withdraw,” said the red-haired woman in a serious tone.
The middle-aged man nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Right after the two left the ruins,
the sound of breaking air swiftly came from the skies above the surrounding streets.
Swarms of military drones flooded into the streets, covering the sky.
Before long.
“Dada dada!”
“Dada dada!”
The masked assassins covering the retreat were ruthlessly shot down by the military drones.
However, most of the mysterious assassins had already evacuated in time with the middle-aged Respectful Envoy.
In the ruins, the smoke billowed.
A group of armed Transcendents got out of their vehicles and charged in.
Not far away, electronic eyes flickered red, silently watching everything.
…
Central Continent Dawn Tower.
“Bang!”
Sir Han Sen slammed his fist hard on the desk, causing the teacups on the rosewood desk to jump.
He said, word by word, “Do everything possible to find him. Even if… he’s already dead, even if it’s just a corpse, I want a definitive answer!”
“Yes, Sir Han Sen. Your orders have been conveyed,” said Xing Tian, still in that invariably cold, mechanical tone, nothing like the intelligent conversation with Pei Jinye at the last minute.
“How many more people remain unaccounted for regarding the opponent’s identity?” asked Han Sen again.
“We have currently locked down 33 individuals who serve as second or third in command across different departments in Central State,” Xing Tian replied. “There are still 39 individuals whose identities are pending confirmation, and we have the following analysis on the backing organizations based on what we have gathered so far…”
Han Sen looked up.
A spreadsheet appeared on the screen in front of him.
Both the Old Gods Association and the Sand Flame Association were included.
However, the most conspicuous first line displayed the name “Holy Alliance.”
“Holy Alliance?” Han Sen furrowed his brow.
“Yes, Sir Han Sen, there’s an 89.65% probability that it’s the Holy Alliance,” replied Xing Tian calmly. “However, traces of the organization are rare. To accurately locate them, I need to request assistance from the Star Ring at the headquarters.”
“This matter cannot yet be disclosed to Federation Headquarters, as we are still unable to determine how many people there have been swayed,” Han Sen said gravely.
Just then, Xing Tian interjected, “Sir Han Sen, I have received a top-secret report from Ghost Mountain Market regarding Lord Pei Jinye.”
“Go on,” said Han Sen, looking up in silence.
“We have found biological tissue at the scene that is suspected to belong to Lord Pei Jinye. It is currently being sent to the laboratory for DNA testing… Based on the site investigation, there is a high probability that Lord Pei Jinye has been sacrificed,” reported Xing Tian. “According to the information we have now gathered, two Fifth Rank Extraordinary People appeared at the scene. Their stay was brief, and their identities remain to be investigated…”
