I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes
Chapter 269: [220] I’ll tell a shocking big secret…. (begging for double monthly passes)_1“`
By the pond in the small courtyard.
The Faceless Elder kept his fishing rod still, as a woman with White Fox Mask and tied-up hair emerged from the void beside him. Her age was indiscernible, but her presence was exceedingly powerful.
As soon as she arrived, the guards of the Old Gods Association immediately knelt on one knee.
“You’re just going to let him do as he pleases?”
The Faceless Elder, without turning his head, replied, “What’s this about doing as he pleases? Since when did my Old Gods Association have to watch the Western Fire League’s face?”
“I don’t mind him killing more people,” the White Fox masked woman said unhurriedly. “But Luo Lei has already set out. Aren’t you afraid he might get left behind?”
“Courage without wisdom is insufficient for taking on the role of God Son.” The Faceless Elder continued with his fishing, “Besides, that kid is quite slippery.”
The White Fox Masked woman slightly raised her head, “Do you really think so highly of him? You mobilized such a force to Central State, and everyone thought you were after the heritage of the Lord Lotus Island, but it turns out not…”
The Faceless Elder remained silent.The woman in the White Fox Mask didn’t finish her sentence, as if everything was clear to everyone involved. She turned around: “I don’t object to you creating momentum for him, but you should know the Federation has been making more moves lately… The assassinations against us in other continents have been over a hundred.”
“You needn’t worry about his affairs,” said the Faceless Elder indifferently.
The woman in the White Fox Mask looked at him seriously, then disappeared from where she was.
A sigh could be heard slowly spreading from the edge of the pond.
Not long after.
The Faceless Elder put down the fishing rod and also disappeared from the spot.
No sooner had he left,
than Lou Hai’s transport portal appeared.
Over seventy people, each carrying a large box, appeared. Some were injured, but the smiles on their faces were undeniable.
Even Lou Hai was beaming with joy.
It was hard to imagine they could not only escape successfully before Luo Lei, the Master of the Western Fire League, arrived, but also managed to move the inventory of the League’s base.
Only, it was a pity that they were short on manpower.
The Demon King’s order to blow up the treasury truly pained him.
However, Pei Jinye suddenly turned to look at the edge of the pond: “The Elder is back?”
“His Excellency just left,” the Guard replied.
Pei Jinye’s brows slightly lifted.
Is he avoiding me? Surely not… Is it just because I asked him for some Treasure Medicine last time?
He turned to instruct the others – those who needed to heal should do so, while the rest began to tally the spoils of war.
Pei Jinye sat on the lounge chair previously occupied by the Elder, smiling as he watched everyone count the loot, a far cry from his usually somber demeanor.
Lou Hai silently observed all this.
Feeling a bit strange inside.
But he guessed it might be because the Elder wasn’t there.
Truth be told, he was quite happy too.
“Lord Demon King, we have over two hundred kinds of medicinal herbs, more than three hundred weapons, and over seventy treasures…” After the tally was complete, everyone looked at Pei Jinye, waiting for his decision without taking any initiative.
Pei Jinye slapped the box he was leaning on: “I’ll just take what’s mine; you guys divide up the rest.”
Everyone’s faces lit up with joy as they thanked him.
Pei Jinye looked towards Lou Hai next to him: “You’re not taking anything?”
Lou Hai shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, “I didn’t really contribute much.”
“Take it.”
Hearing the Demon King’s words, Lou Hai hurriedly caught the jewel-encrusted dagger that was tossed to him, looking up bewildered.
Pei Jinye said casually, “You’re a major contributor. Keep that precious dagger; it’s worth a good few million at least if you sell it.”
“I don’t deserve this…”
“Beat it,” Pei Jinye couldn’t be bothered with his nonsense. “Just take it. If there’s nothing else, open a portal. It’s time for me to return.”
He attempted to take the Elder’s fishing rod but found that it wouldn’t budge, which piqued his curiosity.
Even this fishing rod is a treasure.
“Um… Lord Demon King?”
“What now?”
Pei Jinye looked back as Lou Hai coughed awkwardly, “That sword… it’s time to return it.”
“…” Pei Jinye’s face showed (un)willingness as he placed it back in the wooden box, “How could I possibly forget!”
Lou Hai just smiled awkwardly.
Then the spatial tunnel opened.

Meanwhile.
In a private club in Da Peng City.
After finishing his Ancient Martial training, Gu Wutong took several big gulps of water and then pressed the communicator on the wall, “I’m done with my practice. If you have a report, come in.”
Soon, an old man dressed in Tang suit hurried over with an anxious expression.
“Young master, it’s terrible. There’s been a big incident at Heaven God International!!!”
Gu Wutong leaned back to drink some more water while signaling him to continue.
The Tang-suited elder said earnestly, “Just this evening, one of Heaven God International’s training facilities was invaded. The general manager, Jin Xun, along with a dozen security personnel, were all killed. The murderer was a swordsman.”
“Pfft…” Gu Wutong sprayed the water out of his mouth, incredulous, “You’re not saying that Old Pei stuck it to Heaven God International, are you?”
The elder in the Tang suit looked helpless.
Gu Wutong urgently asked, “How many people did he bring?”
“According to the reports, he was alone,” the elder in the Tang suit said somberly. “He used what seems to be the Autumn Frost Sword of the patriarch.”
“Damn, that’s badass!” Gu Wutong slapped his thigh in awe, “What did I tell you? I said just one look at Pei Jinye and I knew this guy was ruthless. Look at him now, avenging the same day’s grudge all by himself, flipping his enemies, isn’t this just too thrilling?”
“`
“Young master,” the elder in traditional attire said anxiously, “Sky God International is no small company, and the branch in Da Peng City is just one of its many stores. If we really provoked the massive entity behind it…”
“Scared of what?” Gu Wutong dismissed, “Do you really think the Federation is incompetent? Old Pei is no ordinary person. I even suspect that Star Ring noticed him before… If that’s the case, give Sky God International ten times the guts, and they still wouldn’t dare to offend someone favored by Star Ring. Haven’t you seen enough big shots played to death by Star Ring…”
“Young master, watch your words!” The elder in traditional attire nearly broke into a sweat when he heard the latter part of the statement.
Gu Wutong waved nonchalantly, “There’s no one else here. Forget it, I need to go find Old Pei…”
Right then,
He signaled, “Do we have any of the family’s healing medicine? Give me some.”
“Young master, what do you need it for?”
Without looking back, Gu Wutong replied, “Old Pei is probably somewhere licking his wounds like a lone wolf right now. I’m off to bring him some warmth.”
“…”
…
Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised but gave the address all the same.
Soon after,
The two met at Pei’s Dalhae Lao.
Inside the private room,
Pei Jinye turned a blind eye to Gu Wutong’s winks and gestures, pointing to the fatty meat on the plate, “Stop grinning like an idiot, and eat something warm to heat up your body.”
“Hehehehe, okay!” Gu Wutong took a bite of fatty beef and made a sound of relishing the delicious taste.
Pei Jinye smiled silently.
It was impossible to tell he had just gone through numerous life-and-death crises. He seemed more like a gentle and remarkable boy next door.
“Old Pei, to be honest, I knew you were no ordinary person the moment I saw you at the base entrance,”
Gu Wutong’s mouth was hot from the food, but he was eager to express his thoughts, which made him look quite comical as he spoke.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle and shook his head without saying anything.
After cooling his mouth with a few breaths, Gu Wutong sincerely admired, “I must say, I’ve traveled far and wide for many years, and your hot pot restaurant is the most unique. Such perfect service; have you ever thought of going public?”
At that, Pei Jinye could not help but laugh, “We’ve only been in business for a few days and you’re already asking me about going public. Eat up, it won’t taste good once it gets cold.”
Gu Wutong smiled and said, “This afternoon at the gym I tried the method you taught me, and it really does save a lot of effort when exerting force, and the power is wickedly strong. There’s just one part I’m still not quite clear on…”
The two chatted while they ate.
After hearing a few tips from Pei Jinye, Gu Wutong wished he could put down his chopsticks and practice on the spot.
Pei Jinye laughed and shook his head, “Eat first; we can practice later. After all, no matter how much we talk, it’s not as direct as actual combat.”
Gu Wutong wholeheartedly agreed.
Half an hour later, outside the door of Dahailao,
Gu Wutong patted his belly and exhaled deeply, “Refreshing.”
Pei Jinye smiled silently, straightening his clothes, “I’ve recently acquired a sword sheath. I’ll send it over in a few days to add to your Autumn Frost Sword.”
“That’s awesome, I’m definitely not going to be polite about taking it from my own brother,” Gu Wutong said with a laugh.
Pei Jinye chuckled.
“Where to? I’ll drive you,” Gu Wutong’s driver came up with the car.
Pei Jinye gestured towards the hot pot restaurant behind him, “I’ll walk later, you drive back slowly, we’ll catch up some other time.”
“Got it.”
Just as Gu Wutong was about to leave, he could not help but ask, “The sword, is it good to use?”
Pei Jinye smiled without a word, giving an assessment that it was “a good sword.”
“Off I go, then,” Gu Wutong laughed heartily.
Pei Jinye then also turned to head into the shop.
Both the elders had already gone home.
He was just dropping by to check things out.
After a short while, he also left the hot pot restaurant.
Twenty minutes later,
At Jiang’s Family Back Mountain,
Pei Jinye soaked in the medicinal bath, with white mist spraying around in all directions, steadily gathering upwards. He lay quietly in the pool… as his three attributes swiftly recovered.
Gu Wutong’s call was unexpected, so it had delayed him a bit.
As for the matter with Sky God International, he couldn’t care less.
Whether they were playing dumb or simmering with rage, his sister had already spoken; under the rules, strength was king.
If Sky God International didn’t comply, someone would take care of them.
Sister Lin Xiawei’s message was clear; Sky God International was just a whetstone, and if someone was too strong, she would deal with them.
“It feels really good to have someone powerful backing you.”
The assassination attempt this morning was just found out by Brother Bi and Zhou Ye, so they especially sent a message to show their concern.
“So heartfelt.”
…
His thoughts sank.
In an instant, Pei Jinye activated the Lotus Mirror and appeared within the Dark Sea.
His timing this visit was quite coincidental.
Just as someone was discussing something,
“The Western Fire League suffered heavy losses this time, with four strongholds pulled out one after another, severely damaging their vitality…”
“Was it the Old Gods Association’s doing? I hear those two powers are at loggerheads in the Western Continent.”
“Even the Western Fire League Master in person couldn’t keep the opposition at bay?”
“More than that, the Old Gods Association’s people detonated a bomb right in front of him, easily a hundred tons of explosives, man, they’re truly ruthless…”
The atmosphere inside the Dark Sea was lively.
Pei Jinye submerged himself in the deep sea, quietly observing everything.
Isn’t there anything more nutritious to talk about?
Just about to log off, suddenly Pei Jinye pricked up his ears.
“Here’s an earth-shattering secret, someone discovered…”
