Chapter 357: Sister’s Whereabouts (Seeking Monthly Ticket and Subscription)_1


    The Eye of Examination can see through all illusions…


    Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.


    This kind of Transcendent… inexplicably heightened his wariness.


    Once he really stepped out of Da Peng City, no one could be sure if they would encounter such an obscure Transcendent again.


    “The disguise of Form·Variant is still not safe enough… If I synthesize to Second Rank, perhaps the disguise effect would be better.”


    Pei Jinye sighed.


    He casually discarded the middle-aged man’s corpse.


    The soldier who came out of the nearby corridor was stunned as he watched the supervisor’s body thrown away by Pei Jinye. As of now, he couldn’t understand why two supervisors from the foundation would turn on each other.


    “Traitors never meet good ends.”


    Pei Jinye looked at him calmly.<div>


    The soldier was taken aback, but then immediately adopted a solemn expression, “Commander, the Nangong Family’s defenses have been breached, now requesting further instructions.”


    “Gather all resources, arrange for empty vehicles to return to base, and the rest head to the mountains,” Pei Jinye ordered quietly.


    The soldier was a bit bewildered but still responded with an “Understood.”


    He thought this supervisor wanted to take a roundabout approach, and he couldn’t help but admire the n in his heart.


    At that time, Pei Jinye strode into the Nangong Family’s treasure vault.


    This was just one of the strongholds belonging to Nangong Yan’s household; the real ancestral home was protected by formidable individuals… Unfortunately, the Ruby Foundation also did not dare to attack rashly,


    Pei Jinye entered the treasure vault and began to harvest greedily.


    What used to be “barren” personal storage spaces and Space Pendants were once again filled with “resources.”


    Even though he couldn’t enter the ancestral home.


    But who could have thought that the Nangong Family’s God Map was hidden inside Nangong Yan’s home, a secret not even Nangong Yan’s father was aware of.


    “Commander, we’ve detected arge number of people approaching…”


    The surveince personnel reported quickly.


    Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes, “Arrange for men to disguise as members of the Nangong Family and snipe them.”


    “Understood.”


    …


    In the outskirts of the mountains.


    “Commander!!!” The soldiers of the Ruby Foundation had never imagined that, suddenly, frost spread everywhere, catching everyone off guard.


    A Bloodthirsty Bead was dropped.


    The stored bloodlines within the Bloodthirsty Bead soared rapidly.<div>


    Soon, Pei Jinye had already amassed 3000 Vitality Value.


    Amidst the dense night.


    Pei Jinye stood in the mist, like the Grim Reaper.


    28 Variant Blood Individuals had been collected, which meant that Pei Jinye could advance to Fourth Rank as long as his Attribute Points were sufficient!<div>


    Ever since Pei Jinye discovered the wonderful use of the Bloodthirsty Bead, he realized thatpared to other Transcendents, the Crimson Series should definitely be upgraded first.


    After all, it had the innate advantage of Devour at any moment.


    However, Pei Jinye was also aware of the difficulty in increasing Attribute Points and did not act in haste.


    He continued to maintain a steady and steady ambush in the shadows.


    Noises came from not far away.


    Pei Jinye’s figure quickly disappeared from the spot.


    …


    “What is this…”


    The neers were almost unable to hold back when they saw the bodies everywhere.


    “What happened here?” someone said in shock.


    “All killed by a single sword strike,” an experienced individual stepped forward to investigate.


    No sooner had he spoken than those around him were startled,


    “A single sword strike?”<div>


    “Wait, all these people are members of the Ruby…”


    People looked at each other in dismay.


    Someone voiced their uncertainty, “Wasn’t it said that the Ruby’s people invaded the Nangong Family? Howe they ended up… dead here?”


    “What else could it be, obviously a master from the Nangong Family arrived.”


    “Don’t we have a Descriptive Writer? Let’s have one do a quick sketch to see.”


    Soon.


    A Descriptive Writer issued a sketch… quickly determined the appearance of the assants based on their attire.


    “It’s Gongsun Long!!!”


    “Holy shit! The Gongsun Family’s involved too?”


    “Gongsun Long, such an old hand, actually made a move…”


    “He’s an Extraordinary Fifth Rank being.”


    “That was in the past, he’s now Fourth Rank…”


    “Fourth Rank is just spection from the outside world… him being able to easily deal with so many people single-handedly is enough to prove that his strength isn’t as poor as the legends say.”<div>


    “The Ruby Foundation invaded the Nangong Family and retreated after their sess… only to be ambushed by the Gongsun Ancestor midway… This drama is damn epic!”


    “Masters of the Fifth Rank have already gotten involved; I’m outta here. Take care, brothers.”


    Some people chose to quit on their own.


    As precious as mutated species are, one’s own life and wealth are of utmost importance.


    The departure of many loose cultivators did not signify the end of this grand treasure hunt.


    On the contrary, as major families got involved…


    From the dead of night, the entirety of Nagano seemed to be enveloped in fear.


    Ordinary people dared not go out.


    The streets were filled with groups from organizations or descendants of noble families.


    …


    …


    “Why did our people appear in the mountains?”


    A high-ranking member of the Ruby Foundation wondered deeply upon receiving the news.<div>


    No one present could answer.


    “So, the mutated species is now in the hands of the Gongsun Family?”


    “Send someone, but keep it low-profile this time.”


    …


    Under the blood-red mist,


    Pei Jinye was currently in seclusion within a mountain range.


    Having devoured too much tonight led to excessive consumption.


    He had to rest properly.


    Luckily he had plundered and packed up the Nangong Family’s resources; otherwise, he would have to spend more effort now.


    In front of him on the groundy over a dozen empty ss vials of Blue Potion, along with many more spent bottles and jars.


    Pei Jinye found that after he practiced “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses”, the way he “digested” food reached a new level of efficiency that he had never recognized before.


    It seemed that as long as the food entered his stomach and he ran “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses”, these would be refined in an extremely short amount of time and replenish his body.


    Pei Jinye even suspected… that even if he consumed poison at this moment, it might be directly refined.


    However, he was too cautious to carry out this experiment.


    An hourter,


    the sky was still engulfed in darkness.


    But Pei Jinye slowly ended his practice.


    He calmed his mind,


    first using his mentalwork and Extraordinary Abilities to start evading thework detection in the Western Continent.


    The reason he didn’t go to the city center, but chose these remote mountains, was precisely because it could block out a lot of signals.


    Once he confirmed everything was safe,


    Pei Jinye swiftly activated the Lotus Mirror.


    As for this mysterious information exchange ce, what happened in Nagano surely couldn’t escape their notice.


    Indeed.


    Pei Jinye had just arrived in the Dark Sea,


    and while lurking there, he heard talk of some unfamiliar faces that rarely appeared here.


    [Number 340]: “Latest news, the Nangong Family suffered a tragic defeat, and the Ruby Foundation was also ambushed.”


    [Number 239]: “The Ruby Foundation really took a big risk this time. Even if the Gaia supeputer is currently dormant, aren’t they afraid of being held ountableter for what they did today?”


    [Number 340]: “Don’t forget who’s behind Ruby…”


    [Number 044]: “I heard that people from the Knight Order are also involved?”


    [Number 340]: “Yes, I saw that woman in Nagano’s Western Suburb; she’s really ferocious, I didn’t dare get too close.”


    [Number 239]: “The Knight Order typically doesn’t get involved in hunts for treasure, what’s going on?”


    [Number 340]: “I’m not sure about the specifics, only that it seems to be rted to the Gongsun Family. Later they stumbled upon the mutated species affair, and it seems she was looking for someone…”


    [Number 217]: “The Knight Order has many mortal enemies, she probably got targeted, right?”


    [Number 340]: “That’s right, it was actually the assassins from the Dark Shadow Association who were surrounding her, but they only managed to injure that woman…”


    Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye couldn’t restrain himself any longer and burst out of the water: “When did you encounter her?”


    [Number 340], upon hearing this, didn’t hide anything: “About 50 minutes ago, sir, do you know her?”


    “Just curious,” Pei Jinye answered sinctly.


    He knew his senior sister must be looking for him.


    However, themunicator had already malfunctioned… The scope of the signal blockade now included not only people from Central State but also those within Nagano.


    It seemed as if someone wanted Nagano to truly be the “Land of Eternal Night.”


    Without hesitation, Pei Jinye logged off before Number 340 could speak, and he quickly set off toward the Western Suburb.


    But on the way there, he suddenly heard a strange sound, as if it were a breathing sound. Although it was far away, the eerie sound seemed to be right next to him… now distant, now close.


    “Is that a breathing sound? Could there be some mysterious entity nearby?”


    Pei Jinye became alert and cautious.


    Then he stealthily approached the source of the sound.


    Ten miles away, he beheld a strange sight within a mountain gorge!
