“How come you didn’t say a word when you came back? I would have prepared a meal for you. Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to make you something?” Mother Pei was a bit surprised to see Pei Jinye return.

Carrying two parcels in his hand, Pei Jinye had secretly moved the cultivation resources after the recent fierce battle.

Luckily he now understood networking and could transfer assets without anyone being the wiser, otherwise who knows who would have benefited from these cultivation materials worth over eight million and the funds deposit of more than three million…

He didn’t touch the Old Gods Association’s weapons to avoid suspicion.

Taking three blood-red carps out of the package, Pei Jinye said with a smile, “Mom, I’m going to trouble you. Let’s have one tonight, and stir-fry the other two tomorrow.”

Father Pei had just come out of the bedroom and was momentarily stunned by the size of the carp, “This fish doesn’t look cheap.”

Pei Jinye said with a smile, “It’s a gift from the association, it can replenish some vitality. Let’s eat together.”

The old couple deliberated for a while but ended up not eating, thinking it better for Pei Jinye to replenish his strength more.

“Look at how pale you are, have you been working too hard on your practice lately? Take care of your body, don’t exhaust yourself. Health is the most important thing…” Mother Pei began to nag as before.

“I got it, I got it.” Pei Jinye spat out a fish bone and simply smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals, nowhere near the dreaded “Demon King” reputation he had in the city hall.

Late at night, desolate.

Inside the city hall’s high-level conference room.

Several imposing figures gathered together, with Xu Tian sitting on one side with his eyes closed, silent.

In front of the projector, a middle-aged man was reporting the results of the operation.

“The identities of the bodies have been confirmed. Member of the Old Gods Association, Tai Yuan, has been confirmed dead; real name Sun Meng, 29 years old, served as a mercenary for five years…”

“Member of the Old Gods Association, Red Rose, has been confirmed dead; real name Yang Bingqian, according to records, she had already perished in a fire at a welfare home ten years ago…”

“Member of the Old Gods Association, Shadow Bow, has been confirmed dead; real name Pang Haishan, was affiliated with the Pang family of Haiyang City, the Pangs were executed for betraying the Federation in Star Calendar 390 years…”

“Member of the Old Gods Association, Heavenly Calculation, has been confirmed dead; real name unknown, this person was born a hacker, and his files in the Federation have been destroyed, [Punishment Heaven] is initializing calculations, we expect to get related information about him in 12 hours.”

“In this battle, four main members of the Old Gods Association have been annihilated. The persons in charge of this base, Black Shark, Silver Art, and Demon King, their whereabouts remain unknown… Black Shark and Silver Art were personally handled by Captain Li Wentian, Captain Li is currently severely injured and unconscious… Demon King encountered interception by Chief Xu Tian before his withdrawal, and our people are still searching in Wangbei Lake…”

Xu Tian opened his eyes, “Expand the search area, my palm strike is enough to shatter his heart meridians, unless he’s not made of flesh and blood, even if he had divine pills, he couldn’t have gone far!”

The middle-aged man nodded, “We have already sealed off the three nearby villages, as long as he can’t fly or burrow into the ground, he can’t escape.”

He paused, then added:

“We have a lead on the whereabouts of Black Shark and Silver Art. The suspects were captured on camera at the harbor just thirty seconds ago, apparently preparing to escape by boat. We have sealed off the relevant sea area.”

“Make sure you catch them!”

After the meeting.

Xu Tian was suddenly called, he turned around and greeted calmly, “Governor.”

The imposing Governor of Da Peng City Hall approached, patting his shoulder, “We’ve found the body of your junior, the cause of death is still under investigation. Do you want to go and see?”

“No need. Judgement Place will send someone to collect his body tomorrow.”

Xu Tian’s indifference gave the governor a slight pause.

“Governor?” The secretary-general saw Xu Tian leaving and couldn’t help but frown, moving closer and speaking in a low voice, as if he wished to say something.

But he was stopped by the governor raising his hand, “Let’s not interfere with Judgement Place’s business. Seal off that body and wait for Judgement Place to collect it themselves, let them investigate the cause of death.”

The secretary-general nodded hesitantly, “I heard the victim suffered 17 knife wounds and 39 fractures, he was beaten to death while alive…”

The governor retracted his gaze, frowning, “Such ruthless methods, who do you think it could be?”

The secretary-general looked at him, not daring to speak.

The governor shook his head, “Heaven God wouldn’t dare to kill a person from Judgement Place, it must be someone else. By the way, who exactly is this Demon King?”

“Currently… there is very little information about him. According to what we know, his martial arts are strong… He must have practiced relevant body refinement techniques, or perhaps he’s naturally inclined towards the Body Technique System.”

“Settle this matter as quickly as possible.”

“Understood.”

As night deepens.

Pei Jinye sat cross-legged on his bed, the night wind outside the window started howling, soon followed by a downpour as expected.

With the activation of “Twelve Lotuses”,the medicinal effect of the blood-red carp was fully absorbed.

Vitality Value quickly recovered after a brief decline.

In a moment.

He opened his eyes and began using the Heavenly Calculation’s ability, attempting to locate Black Shark and Silver Art.

Innumerable pieces of information on the internet flashed by like a torrential stream.

In Pei Jinye’s spiritual world.

He pushed open a door before him, and a myriad of code-formed virtual portals appeared. Some doors were wide open, some virtual portals were tightly closed with giant red locks, and some locked portals were slightly ajar, with the red locks merely for show.

Having devoured Heavenly Calculation’s memory, Pei Jinye felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

These virtual portals in front of him signified pathways.

The red locks were equivalent to firewalls…

Each door had different levels of security… the presence at the furthest distance, shining like the blazing sun, was the Intelligent Brain [Punishment Heaven].

Pei Jinye moved as if cloaked in invisibility, avoiding drawing the attention of [Punishment Heaven].

Then, taking a step forward, he entered the nearest door.

But the next second he backed out, exasperated.

“What the hell, a tiny folder of just 10GB worth of movies locked down with three hefty locks???”

He turned and entered the next door.

After that, he began traveling through one virtual door after another.

Time passed by unnoticed.

Pei Jinye suddenly stopped.

The figures of Black Shark and Silver Art appeared in a segment of surveillance data; they were being pursued by the Night Patrol Department and the Investigation Team together.

The rainstorm poured down.

Yet nobody noticed that a surveillance electronic eye at the harbor was watching this assassination unfold.

A swordsman from the Federation made two consecutive cuts, shattering countless silver sparks in the raging wind.

The swordsman’s third cut rose—

Suddenly, a bright red patch appeared beneath the surface of the water.

A massive fireball shot straight up into the sky.

Within hundreds of meters, the terrifying force of the bomb engulfed the entire Black God River.

“What happened?”

“The missile silo beneath Black God River was invaded…”

“Even such a place can be invaded, what are you all doing!”

Pei Jinye’s eyes, through the surveillance camera, witnessed the entire process of Black God River’s explosion.

“It’s over,”

he sighed softly.

However, the riverbed bomb wasn’t set off by him… obviously, someone didn’t want the members of the Old Gods Association to leave alive.

Countless sparks of fire splashed into the Black God River, as if a shower of fire had descended.

Xu Tian’s face was ashen.

The captain of the ninth squad hurried over, “We’ve just received some good news. Our men found a highly corroded body downstream on the south bank, suspected to be the Demon King, and identity analysis is underway.”

“Good news over one body?” Xu Tian said coldly and walked away with a flick of his sleeve.

The ninth squad captain opened his mouth, at a loss, and gestured helplessly: “Proceed to the port for rescue.”

His subordinates of the Night Patrol Department rushed to the rescue.

The drizzle tapped against the windowpane.

Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.

Under the cover of night.

He sat there in a daze.

Everything seemed to have ended.

November 3rd.

The sky was overcast, and the desolate chill wind swept the fallen leaves across the streets.

Inside the principal’s office of Da Peng City No. 2 Middle School, Principal Wang brewed two cups of Spiritual Tea and handed one over, “Have some to warm yourself up. We’ll be leaving soon.”

Pei Jinye took the Spiritual Tea and took a sip.

This Spiritual Tea was different from the tea house’s; it didn’t increase Blood energy much, but after drinking it, Pei Jinye’s thoughts became clearer, and his spiritual power returned to its peak, seeming unlikely to decline easily for a while.

He looked at Principal Wang with surprise and uncertainty.

Principal Wang smiled gently, “This is Qingming Tea. It’s very helpful for the recovery of spiritual power. I specially requested some from an old comrade. When your exam is over, you can take this packet with you. It was also specially prepared for you.”

Pei Jinye’s expression showed his interest, but without undue formality, he simply expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for your concern, Principal Wang.”

Principal Wang waved his hand nonchalantly, “Did you hear about what happened in the West Suburb the day before yesterday?”

Pei Jinye looked up with his teacup in hand, “Is Principal Wang referring to the Old Gods Association?”

Principal Wang nodded, “Correct. To my knowledge, the City Hall won a complete victory. The person in charge of the Old Gods Association in this area is expected to have perished in the inferno, and the bodies of all individuals on the list have been found… The atmosphere in Da Peng City should improve somewhat, and I have less to worry about. However, you must still not lower your guard; there are more bad people out there than just them.”

Pei Jinye nodded and took a sip of his Spiritual Tea, bowing his head.

Nobody knew who the Demon King was…

So he deliberately selected a corpse with a similar physique from the Old Gods Association’s laboratory, disguised it as the Demon King, and processed it with the abilities of Heavenly Calculation…

From this world forth, there would be no more Demon King.

“The elimination of the Old Gods Association’s stronghold indeed comes as a great relief to everyone.”

Principal Wang smiled, “There’s another piece of good news to share with you in advance.”

Pei Jinye looked curious.

Principal Wang whispered, “I’ve received the latest news that this year’s elite examination has been revised. In the past, your group of candidates would be sent to a secret military island, but this year to prevent a surprise attack by the Old Gods Association, the headquarters’ Intelligent Brain [Starry Ring] has developed a new examination system, which will allow you to take your exams right here.”

Pei Jinye pondered, “Will it affect one’s strength?”

Principal Wang shook his head, “The exams will correspond to the abilities you’ve reported. [Starry Ring] won’t make mistakes on that. The surprise appearance of the new system does indeed catch people off guard. You don’t need to panic during the exam; everyone is experiencing it for the first time. Thus, families with prior experience lose their advantage, and now you all start from the same line.”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Watching him remain calm, Principal Wang inwardly nodded in approval.

He hated the idea that Pei Jinye might get flustered upon learning of a change in the examination system just before the test, but thankfully, he had not misjudged the man.

Then, he shared another piece of news.

“In addition, three candidates from Da Peng City have applied this year, exceeding the standard of previous years and attracting the attention of higher-ups. They say an important person will come, but I don’t know who… All three of you have entered their vision, and whether you can win their friendship depends on your performance.”

“Knock, knock, knock—” The door was knocked.

The head of the principal’s office stood at the door, “Principal, we are ready and can leave now.”

Principal Wang nodded, looked at Pei Jinye, and said, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you.”

Pei Jinye set down his empty cup, nodded, and got up.

The official car sped down the road.

The scenery outside the window receded rapidly.

Principal Wang’s voice broke Pei Jinye’s train of thought, “No matter how the examination format changes, it will always satisfy 50% of the basic Transcendent applications, 30% will test the candidate’s own physical conditions, and 20% the ability to respond to special events. So if you encounter a thorny issue, don’t act rashly. Think calmly; we’re not looking for speed, only stability.”

“I understand.”
