I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 153: 137 I decree the extermination of the Jiang family (Thanks to Cang Lei You Sheng’s Jifeng Wuyu and Fei Chenxin for their reward support)_1
Pei Jinye still didn’t understand.

However, the Faceless Elder had no intention of continuing the conversation.

“After the Transcendent awakening, there are many things in this world that are indescribable and beyond reason. All you need to do is follow your heart and choose what you believe is right,”

“Are you… not worried that I might betray the Old Gods Association?” Pei Jinye asked seriously.

Based on his current experiences and emotions, his feelings for the Old Gods Association weren’t deep enough to want to pick up the villainous banner and openly confront the Federation.

“I might worry about others, but you…” The Faceless Elder shook his head, “I’m not worried.”

Pei Jinye didn’t understand.

The Faceless Elder chuckled softly, approached the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, stretched out his hand, and, as if by some force, a painting of the Ancestor of the Jiang Family began to move… Under Pei Jinye’s doubtful gaze, a silver-white small sword radiating brilliant light was actually separated from the painting.

Pei Jinye looked at the small silver-white sword with some surprise.

“This sword, named Shenxiao, is a famous sword that the first Family Head of the Jiang family brought back from the Northern Continent’s Sword Emperor City. Unfortunately, his descendants lacked vision, leaving this sword to gather dust for many years,”

Having said this, he casually handed the silver-white small sword to Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye was stunned, seemingly surprised, “You’re giving it to me?”

“Otherwise?” Even though the Faceless Elder wore a mask, his eyes held a hint of amusement, “Consider it a gift for our long overdue reunion. Immerse it in your blood, then bond with it through your spiritual power, and you will be able to unlock its mystical abilities.”

“Is this sword very powerful?” Pei Jinye asked, not fully understanding.

“It was once ranked eighth among famous swords. Someone used it to move mountains, overturn seas, split the sky, and shatter stars,” The Faceless Elder’s eyes seemed to carry an age-old weariness, “Lost from the world for over four hundred years. Today, I hand it to you. Whether it will regain its former glory depends on your ability.”

“It’s too valuable,” Pei Jinye said the word ‘valuable,’ but his action of taking the sword was quite decisive.

“Thank you, Elder.”

The Faceless Elder silently gazed at the figure holding the sword in the painting.

“Do you recognize him?”

Pei Jinye’s question prompted the Faceless Elder to slowly retract his gaze, “The first Family Head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yijian. His given name is unknown. When he first entered the Jianghu, he gave himself the name of ‘One Sword’, claiming he would only strike once.”

“One Sword? Quite an arrogant name.” Pei Jinye took another look at the painting, unable to help himself, “Did he truly only strike once when facing an enemy?”

“Indeed, it was one sword. Either he took someone’s life, or if he couldn’t win, he would run.”

The answer from the Faceless Elder caused Pei Jinye to pause.

This was definitely not the answer he had expected.

He had thought…

“Did you think he would only strike once with great pride and dignity?” The Faceless Elder’s tone carried a certain mirth, “In this world, staying alive is the most important. Don’t be stubborn if you can’t beat them. Only if you survive do you have more chances to kill your opponent.”

Pei Jinye bowed his head in acknowledgment, “Thank you for the guidance, Elder.”

The Faceless Elder turned and looked up at the sky, “The world is already in chaos.”

Pei Jinye was slightly stunned and looked up as well.

The Faceless Elder strode toward the door, “Star Calendar Year 404, dire omens. That person in the North Continent surely knew earlier than us… I forgot to tell you, his name is Sword Ten, claiming to be the greatest swordsman in the world. If you ever get the chance, you might want to exchange a few moves with him. Before he went into seclusion, his favorite thing was to challenge others to duels everywhere.”

Pei Jinye kind of understood.

“The Federation has forcefully attributed the cause and effect of the strife in Central State to my Old Gods Association, but in reality everyone understands that all this calamity is just the trickery of those priests in the Southern Continent…” The Faceless Elder stopped, looked back at Pei Jinye who had fallen behind:

“You can continue to act in any capacity you find convenient. Should you have any needs, inform Silver Art; she will cooperate with all your actions. Don’t worry about this operation in Da Peng City, it doesn’t have much to do with you. I will follow your principle of keeping a low profile in everything.”

Pei Jinye remained silent.

 

This treatment…

The Faceless Elder slowly said, “You are unwilling?”

“I am simply overwhelmed by your favor.”

“This is the destined cause and effect…” The Faceless Elder’s words were very mysterious, and Jinye could not understand them. If he hadn’t been mindful of the other’s status, he probably wouldn’t have been able to avoid summing it up with the word “charlatan.”

“I am somewhat apprehensive…” Jinye bowed his head, his expression at that moment completely hidden from view.

The Faceless Elder said softly, “Do not be afraid, what you need to do is to become stronger as quickly as possible… A great calamity has already appeared in the Western Continent. Before the Federation sets their sights on you, you must become much stronger.”

“Does the Elder wish for me to lie in wait within the Federation?” Jinye did not entirely believe the other’s words.

There is no such thing as unrequited love in this world.

The other had given him a peerless famous sword, and all the chips were already on the table. It was now time for him to show his sincerity.

Jinye had thought about playing dumb… but the Faceless Elder showed no sign of ending the conversation, evidently waiting for a clear response from him.

“I don’t ask for much. When the Old Gods Association needs help, I hope you can lend a hand… Silver Art and the others will carry out the organization’s tasks. We will not trouble you unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Upon hearing the Faceless Elder say this.

Jinye sighed inwardly.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary… When the time comes for him to take the stage, it will be no small matter.

“Naturally, I will not let you face danger yourself…” The Faceless Elder seemed to perceive Jinye’s worry, “I will provide you with twenty death warriors of the Second Rank Extraordinary for your command. Keep this tiger tally well; they recognize only the tally, not the person.”

A tiger tally about three inches long was handed to Jinye. He examined it carefully before tucking it into his pocket.

“Is that settled then?”

Although the Faceless Elder’s smile could not be seen, when he spoke these words, Jinye distinctly felt a smile present itself on the face of this Demon Dao giant.

He smiled as well: “It’s settled!”

In the Federation, his greatest support was none other than Mr. Han, which was not secure enough.

The restrictive measures against the investigation team this time had already shown him just how deep the waters ran here.

Relying solely on his own power, if in the future he were to fall out with certain individuals, he had no way of getting out unscathed.

But if now he could also clutch at the thigh of the Old Gods Association…

Although the other party also had their own agenda.

At least for the moment, Jinye felt sincerity from the Faceless Elder.

Of course…

With Jinye’s usual disposition, he was not one to scrape by solely leaning on the hope of others’ kindness.

So in the end, he must become much stronger, as quickly as possible!

Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself, and avoiding misfortune by losing wealth is not as good as uprooting the problem entirely!

Approaching.

Black Shark arrived with his men, all kneeling on one knee.

“Elder, the Federation’s dogs have all been executed!”

The Faceless Elder was calm, “Proceed as planned.”

“Yes!”

 

Shadows swiftly dispersed around them, blending into the darkness as if they dissolved; this movement technique piqued Pei Jinye’s interest.

Silver Art and Hong Luo remained where they were, looking at each other.

The Faceless Elder asked Silver Art, “Do you still remember the task I entrusted to you?”

“Vaguely?” Silver Art was also unsure, “Protect the Demon King.”

The Faceless Elder didn’t seem surprised, “And the mission to investigate the Divine Blood. Did you keep that in mind?”

“I remembered.”

“Hong Luo, you too will remain in Da Peng City.”

“Yes.” The girl in the red robe seemed very afraid of the Faceless Elder.

The Faceless Elder turned to look at Pei Jinye, “Before I leave, if you want someone’s head, I can help you with that.”

The girl in the red robe couldn’t resist glancing at the Ghost Face Man opposite her.

She couldn’t understand why the Faceless Elder, who was otherwise so ruthless in killing, was being so approachable to this guy.

But…

She was so envious.

“Thank you for your kind offer, Elder, but I will do the killing myself,” Pei Jinye didn’t refuse out of mere bravado.

The main issue was that whether it was Xu Tian or Sky God International’s Lin Brothers, he wanted them dead… But if the Elder did the killing, how would he Devour their Transcendence?

Right now, the Faceless Elder clearly thought he was simply talented in martial arts.

But if he were to reveal that he could Devour Transcendents…

Who knows if the Faceless Elder would decide to kill him, worried about being Devoured himself?

Pei Jinye was not willing to bet his life on it.

Considering he had already had a clash with them before.

His strength had surged once again.

It seemed much easier now to go after Xu Tian.

Hong Luo took another glance at Pei Jinye after his straightforward refusal.

In her eyes, this stranger with mediocre strength had just rejected the Elder’s proposal with such integrity.

The last person who refused the Elder, she had heard, was still hanging at Chaotic Gravestone Ridge.

Just as Hong Luo was gearing up to watch what would unfold, she heard the Faceless Elder praise him, “You have spirit.”

“?” Hong Luo looked puzzled.

If she remembered correctly, the last time someone refused the Elder, he had scorned the person as a fool.

This…

The Elder is playing a double standard so slickly.

She became even more curious about the Ghost Face Man before her.

“I heard that Judgement Place has recruited a new member in Da Peng City. Do you know him?” the Faceless Elder asked Pei Jinye.

“I haven’t heard,” Pei Jinye shook his head, answering honestly.

The Faceless Elder seemed unsurprised and softly said, “Anyone noticed by Judgement Place is no ordinary person. I was going to kill him for you to prevent future complications for your actions. But since you prefer to handle it yourself, leave that Wei Family’s little fellow for you to kill, using the sword I gave you.”

 

Pei Jinye was somewhat helpless.

Do I look like the type who kills indiscriminately?

“The Old Gods Association had many brothers killed by Judgement Place this year… was it you who severed Xu Tian’s arm?” the Faceless Elder suddenly asked.

“It was,” Pei Jinye did not deny.

“Then you might as well kill him too.”

 

Do I look like a bloodthirsty person?

Pei Jinye silently looked up.

There was a flicker of light in the distance.

Black Shark came forward to report, “Elder, the Night Patrol Department and the Military Department’s people have arrived. We need to retreat.”

“Then let’s go.”

The Faceless Elder turned to Pei Jinye, “You should start moving in the southwest direction now.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, Black Shark’s expression changed.

That was the retreat route they had arranged in advance.

Did the Elder mean he intended to let the Demon King retreat alone?

“What about you, Elder?” Black Shark couldn’t help but ask.

“I changed my mind,” the Faceless Elder raised his head to look at the sky, “It’s going to rain. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give Da Peng a generous gift.”

Turning back, he looked at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye nodded, “Take care.”

After speaking, he merged into the night.

“Elder…” Black Shark wanted to say something to dissuade him.

However, the Faceless Elder intended to go through with his plan, his face indifferent. Black Shark swallowed the words he had been about to say.

“Three transformations lead to one certainty, nine transmutations reach the divine. In the beginning, embodying the day, secondly mirroring the moon…” The Faceless Elder silently reflected, his figure flashing into the air, with a flick of his finger, summoning a shocking thunderbolt that plummeted down.

A hundred meters away on Heaven Passage Road, lightning suddenly struck, filling the sight with blinding light.

 

Pei Jinye, retreating in the southwest direction, turned back to look.

He quickly averted his gaze and sped up his withdrawal.

Fortunately, he hadn’t taken action earlier; he couldn’t have overcome such a technique.

Pei Jinye decided then and there to thoroughly assimilate tonight’s gains when he got back and to further bolster his strength once he had everything sorted.

By that time…

“I… feel like I’ve seen you somewhere?”

An unfamiliar and indifferent voice suddenly came from the roadside, the person trying to step forward to stop him.

Pei Jinye didn’t hesitate; he swung his sword in a backhand strike.
