“The Mask Association… Sea Boss orchestrating… the only Transcendent is White Knife… So they are now in Siyuan Inn?”
Pei Jinye woke up from White Knife’s memories.
When he opened his eyes, beneath the calm that burst forth, there was a trace of chilliness.
They had come specifically for him.
Not only for revenge but also with the potential to harm the innocent, White Knife didn’t care about the life and death of a high school student; he aimed for the massive bounty that would come from killing Sun Ruofan by creating a diversion.
Pei Jinye sighed.
He felt very fortunate, had he not happened to visit home today, it’s hard to say what might have happened to his parents.
White Knife was a professional assassin and a transcendent with telekinesis, easily capable of evading surveillance. Killing two completely defenseless ordinary people would have been a breeze for him.
“This Mask Association, they’ve got to be wiped out tonight!”
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.
He thought for a moment.
A new idea formed in his mind.
He made a phone call to his home.
“The electrical box is broken, an old man from the first floor has already called property management to come fix it. I bumped into an old friend here, I’ll be back after a chat…”
While holding onto White Knife’s corpse, he spoke gently on the phone to his family. After hanging up, he began skillfully cleaning up the body.
At the same time, his attributes panel updated.
[Name]: Pei Jinye;
[Extraordinary Genes]: Devour·First Form (7/100) (Psychic·Shadow Spear (1/3, can fuse with Telekinesis), Body·Diamond (1/3), Spirit·Shadow (1/3), Form·Mutated (1/3), Strength Series Fragments (1/3));

Pei Jinye was relieved that he had been crazily honing his blood energy lately, hence even with his vitality and physical strength declining, he was still not in the danger zone.
Psychic·Shadow Spear and Telekinesis instantly fused, updating the attributes panel: [Psychic: Light Lance]
“What kind of second-rate name is that?”
However, Pei Jinye didn’t dwell on it, as he still needed 93 more Extraordinary Gene Fragments to have a chance to enter the Second Form.
Instantly, he vanished from the spot.
In a villa district in Da Peng City.
Qi Hengtian was on the phone in his study when he suddenly heard something. He covered the phone’s receiver, listening carefully, then quickly said something to the person on the other end, hung up in a hurry, and walked out of the room.
A bodyguard appeared with a note in hand.
“Boss, this was just found.”
Qi Hengtian opened the note, his gaze flickered, and he looked up to ask, “Did you see who it was?”
“No.” The bodyguards shook their heads one after the other.
Qi Hengtian said thoughtfully, “Increase manpower. I’m going to make a call.”
After saying that, he hurried back to his study.
He held the note he had just received in his hand.
He pondered for a while.
Then he dialed the City Hall’s number.
“Old Zhou, do me a favor; I need Xing Tian’s clearance to investigate the truth… It involves the Mask Association, okay I’ll wait for you.”
In less than a minute.
The comparison results were out.
Qi Hengtian received affirmative news, he was startled and looked at the note in his hand again.
“Who could it be?”
At 9:17 PM that night.
The City Hall issued an urgent command overnight, mobilizing an elite Night Patrol Department squad to rush to Siyuan Inn.
At 9:26 PM.
“Hasn’t Old Bai returned yet?”
“Could something have happened?”
“Unlikely, it’s just a high school student, he probably just hasn’t found the right opportunity…”
“Sea Boss, what do we do next? Hiding out here isn’t a solution…”
Everyone looked at Sea Boss who was billowing clouds of smoke.
But before he could speak, suddenly, the circuit breaker tripped, and the seven doors of the floor were simultaneously forced open.
“Don’t move!”
“Don’t move! Put your hands on your head and squat down!”
Then came the crackling of gunfire.
“Quick, go after them!”
Roars and sounds of combat echoed through the corridor.
Inside a certain villa complex.
Qi Hengtian stood on the balcony with a cellphone beside him, waiting for something.
Behind him came the voice of Sun Ruofan, “Dad, what’s troubling you?”
Qi Hengtian turned around, his face softening with warmth, “Even you’ve noticed. But Dad isn’t troubled about anything, just pondering a question.”
“What question? Can I know?” Sun Ruofan asked cautiously.
Qi Hengtian chuckled, “Of course. Dad is wondering which university to pick for you next. Do you want to stay here, or go to Dragon City?”
“Isn’t it too early to think about this now?”
“Maybe it is, it’s chilly outside, go to sleep,” said Qi Hengtian with a gentle smile. Just as Sun Ruofan was about to head back to her room, he suddenly spoke again, “By the way, Ruofan, did your classmate ever mention knowing any powerful Transcendents?”
Sun Ruofan cocked her head, “Teacher Chang? Senior Sister Li Xiaoying? Brother Tang is stronger than me, but he’s not a powerful Transcendent… Dad, why do you ask this?”
“It’s nothing, just asking. Go on to bed.”
After Sun Ruofan had left.
Qi Hengtian’s cellphone vibrated, and he answered it immediately.
A confidant’s report came through.
“Boss, Sea Boss has run away.”
“He escaped just like that? A bunch of good-for-nothings!” Qi Hengtian was slightly irritated.
The night was dark and gloomy.
Under the rustle of the evening breeze, three figures darted into an alley, swiftly fleeing towards the outskirts.
The one in the lead was none other than Sea Boss.
“What do we do now, Sea Boss?” someone beside him couldn’t help asking.
Sea Boss’s face was grim.
He didn’t know what to do!
The Night Patrol Department came too fast.
They hardly gave him a moment to breathe before almost completely rounding up all his brothers.
How did they get exposed in the first place?
“Brother Knife!” Suddenly, someone exclaimed beside him.
Seeing “White Knife” appear, Sea Boss was also stunned, but then he lowered the large firearm in his hand.
Confidence surged within him.
White Knife was a Transcendent!
“Where did you go? The inn was just raided! Damn, the Night Patrol Department moved too fast. I thought it would be at least a couple of days before they caught on…”
The trio headed by Sea Boss quickly moved towards “White Knife.”
But “White Knife,” who was also moving towards them, suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Within three feet, sword light surged.
Sea Boss, with disbelief on his face, fell to the ground clutching his throat.
In an instant.
Three bodies lay in a pool of blood.
Pei Jinye looked on emotionlessly before shifting his gaze and starting to search the bodies.
He also glanced at his consumption of psychic power.
“Not bad, didn’t use much…”
He squatted down, wearing professional gloves, unloading the packages from the bodies, tossing aside all electronic devices, and gathered 70,000 in cash, three firearms, a golden watch…
Ten minutes later.
Qi Hengtian listened intently to his confidant’s report, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“Dead?”
The confidant on the other end affirmed, “The Night Patrol Department has confirmed that the three bodies are indeed the Sea Boss and his two associates who were fleeing. All were killed with a single sword strike to the throat.”
“A sword strike to the throat?” Qi Hengtian was taken aback, “Did they find who did it?”
“No, Sea Boss had avoided surveillance during his escape, and this place is deep in the mountains and forests with no surveillance installed. They have checked the surveillance at the exit, but no suspicious persons were found…”
Qi Hengtian’s doubts increased.
Just who was helping him from the shadows?
His fingers drummed on the table surface, then suddenly stopped.
He slowly realized… from the moment the note was delivered to the killing of Sea Boss, someone had been covertly watching the whole time.
They did not want Sea Boss to live!
No… that wasn’t the right way to think about it.
Qi Hengtian frowned deeply in thought… If that mysterious swordsman hadn’t appeared, then Sea Boss might truly have managed to escape from Da Peng City today.
The person didn’t act to cover up the real culprit by killing to silence them, but rather didn’t want them to leave alive… so it was a personal vendetta?
Thinking long and hard, Qi Hengtian exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face somber.
“Ever since the Old Gods Association arrived here, Da Peng City has become filled with clouds and fog… truly damn strange!”
