My Life Anthem Covers the Globe-Chapter 305: Nine Abyss Holy City, Those Harboring Sinister Motives
"I heard that Pei Jing has trained... a super genius who ascended to Destruction Level within a year of awakening?"
In the Tenth District, inside a luxurious villa, five Destruction-level Transcendents sat with cold expressions, discussing with each other.
They came from the Nine Abyss Holy City. Before coming here, they had received hints from some big figures in the Holy City to pay special "attention" to Pei Jing.
After all.
Pei Jing’s defection from the Nine Abyss Holy City had once embarrassed many people.
Now that news of Pei Jing advancing to the Destruction Level has come out, it naturally touched the sensitive nerves of many big figures once again.
There’s even talk that whoever can prevent Pei Jing from relying on any Holy City will receive a Supreme Secret Technique.
This notion of not relying on any Holy City is indeed thought-provoking.
Crippling him is fine, killing him is even better.
In any case, these five have been carefully selected, whether in terms of combat power or Transcendent paths, they are highly restrictive to Pei Jing.
"Hmph!"
"This is nothing more than a bait Pei Jing threw out because he sensed his unfavorable situation, trying to lure other strong individuals. You see, before this news was released, there were very few Destruction-level Transcendents choosing to guard the Ninth District. What is the situation now? Think about it, there’s obviously something wrong."
"Even if we take a step back, even if Pei Jing really discovered some unmatched genius, why didn’t it come out early or late, but precisely at this critical point? It’s too coincidental!"
A man with a deep voice analyzed earnestly, a middle-aged man with a stubbly face and extremely narrow eyes, almost unable to open them, but within them, there was a sharpness that no one could ignore. Just meeting his gaze could make your skin tingle, as if being scraped by a sharp, cold sword edge.
This man’s name was Lu Zhan, and he mastered a path of the Ancient Sword Immortal.
A pinnacle powerhouse among Destruction-level, rumored to have survived twelve bizarre calamities, each time vanquishing it with a single sword, his power terrifying to the extreme.
It’s even said that Lu Zhan is one of the few in the Destruction-level Realm who can walk the world without relying on the aura of a Supreme Saint Master. If not for lacking the confidence to counter the Heavenly Calamity Level anomalies, he might have already advanced long ago.
Of course.
This claim is also doubted by many.
After all, for someone who has long resided in the Holy City, unbothered by bizarre calamities, how could they suppress their own realm?
Though the truth of it is questionable, Lu Zhan’s strength is recognized by many in the Nine Abyss Holy City; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chosen to make a move this time.
"Yes, there are too many things about this that don’t stand up to scrutiny."
"However, Pei Jing can’t afford to play pranks on a hundred Destruction-level powerhouses, so I think that guy named Su Qi might indeed be a Destruction-level Transcendent. But perhaps he’s found some kind of Secret Technique to conceal his bone age, using this as a gimmick to try and let the Ninth District linger on in the impending disaster."
A woman who appeared to be around eighteen years old, possessed stunning beauty; her brows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all just right. Yet, when put together, it stirred a strange feeling in people.
Especially when she was sitting on equal terms with four other Destruction-level Transcendents.
If anyone underestimated her because of her appearance, their fate would be extremely miserable!
Because.
This woman’s actual age was two hundred, making her the oldest among them!
Her strength was equally terrifying, the path she mastered was almost never shown and remained quite mysterious. Most who had seen her make a move couldn’t recall it clearly.
To many in the Nine Abyss Holy City.
Tong Qi.
Frequently roamed places riddled with anomalies.
Beyond that, little information was known.
"Regardless, it is an indisputable fact that the Ninth District now gathers a large number of Destruction-level Transcendents."
"And we..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Though we pride ourselves as fearing no one among the Destruction-level, trying to act against Pei Jing under so many eyes isn’t easy either."
"What should our next step be? Let’s hear everyone’s take. Chen Luo, stop hugging that pillar all day without speaking. You might as well offer some suggestions," Tong Qi said, turning her head to look at an elderly companion sitting upright beside her.
Chen Luo was seen constantly rubbing a massive iron rod with his hands, making no other movements, resembling a statue, barely uttering a word from beginning to end.
With that iron rod, inscribed with strange runes, exuding an extremely eerie aura.
It looked incredibly heavy, seemingly bending the void around it.
It was the Divine Weapon manifested by Chen Luo, yet for some reason, his every thought was drawn to it, reaching a pathological level, as if he intended to use his life’s power to bring this weapon back into the real world!
Many scoffed at Chen Luo’s action, yet no one dared to underestimate him.
No matter what, being able to condense something lost to history to such an extent, his strength was terrifying; it was rumored he could display eighty percent of the strange Divine Weapon’s power.
Upon hearing Tong Qi naming him, Chen Luo paused and corrected, "This is not a pillar, it’s called Ju Que, the weapon of God."
At these words.
Everyone exchanged glances, showing unsurprised expressions and then selectively skipped Chen Luo, turning to the next speaker, a middle-aged man with silver hair.
This man adorned in silver, dressed in a retro style, appeared quite elegant, yet the sinister grin on his face broke this demeanor.
"I have no other hobbies, just enjoy torturing and killing so-called geniuses."
"If you all dare not, let me take the lead to test their strength. Anyone bold enough to call themselves a genius before me, killing them brings the most joy."
As he spoke, he viciously licked his lips, seemingly remembering something joyful, causing his body to tremble slightly.
The last one, upon seeing Ning Zhengnan exhibit such a perverse expression, quickly rebuked him, "Ning Zhengnan, restrain yourself at least a little. The orders we received aren’t to openly confront Pei Jing. Don’t mess around! If the higher-ups can’t save face, you’ll have a hard time."
Ning Zhengnan snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain, "Lu Chengjian, inheritor of the Shadow Assassin power, you’re so timid and afraid, your future achievements will be limited."
He then shifted his tone, "Compared to a person like Pei Jing, it’s those big figures above who I really want to kill. Hypocritical and high above, killing them would be more exhilarating!"
Upon hearing this direct jab at him, Lu Chengjian’s face darkened immediately, "I don’t need you to worry about my achievements; I can readily take you down right now!"
"Oh, really?"
"Want a go!?"
"Alright!" At this moment, Lu Zhan clapped his chair, stopping everyone, "Let’s observe for a while first. Calamity is about to descend; chaos everywhere will give us the opportunity we need!"
