Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Mobilizing Troops

Zheng Jia Ru and Jiang Donghu entered, supporting two people who were none other than the two ghostly envoys sent to the Hongjun Sword Furnace to fetch the gun manual. Pei Yan stood up, supporting himself with the armrest, quickly stepped forward to squat down and examine the two injured trusted aides. One of them, Ghost Dalles, was just a soul with his breath wavering, looking at Pei Yan with a resentful gaze, trying hard to pull out an item from his arms, but after several failed attempts, he only managed to pull out half of it before his hand fell limply, and he sank into unconsciousness.

Seeing this, Pei Yan extended his hand to grasp the other’s wrist and frowned. The injuries were indeed severe, yet he managed to cling to life and return. As Pei Yan poured the Power of Origin from his own body into Dalles to alleviate his injuries, he reached out and took the item wrapped in blood-soaked silk from Dalles’ chest.

Upon glimpsing the corner of the exposed silk, Pei Yan recognized it as the item he had sent Dalles to retrieve. He did not unfurl it but handed it over to his sister beside him, then looked at Zheng Jia Ru and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"I don’t know! I was just outside on patrol when I suddenly sensed multiple unfamiliar presences rapidly approaching our base. Naturally, I ordered heightened vigilance! When I went to check, I discovered it was Elder Feng Tianhe from the Mo Sect bringing this pair in a rush with a few disciples. I immediately took over escorting these two inside, but I couldn’t inquire into what happened!" Zheng Jia Ru answered with confusion, wringing the blood-soaked sleeve.

"Where is Elder Feng and the others?" Pei Yan pressed with restrained anger.

"They are waiting outside for news."

"Invite them in for a talk!"

With a soft word, Jiang Feiyang darted out like an arrow to invite them in. During this time, Pei Yan pressed his forehead lightly and relayed the situation to Lin Junzhao, who was still a guest at the Immortal Palace.

"What do you plan to do?" Lin Junzhao’s voice came through after a long pause.

"Tell Lin Ruxue I need to borrow people from the Embroidered Robe Envoy, and I need to transfer people from the Investigation Hall! No matter who the assailant is, they need to know what kind of price there is for provoking me time and again!" Pei Yan roared this in his reply transmission.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Zixiong and his brothers exchanged uneasy glances, uncertain if this sudden incident was good or bad for them. Nevertheless, they resolved to relay the message swiftly, while Feng Tianhe, just entered from outside, went pale and weak in the knees upon hearing Pei Yan’s words, leaning against the courtyard column drenched in sweat.

Again, a dead silence ensued. Moments later, the response came not from Lin Junzhao, but directly from Lin Ruxue, the Lord of the Immortal Palace: "You can borrow people! I’ll order that from today, both the Embroidered Robe Envoy and the Luocheng Celestial Guard Six Armies, along with the Left and Right Divine Martial Guards, will be at your command! I’m curious to see who dares to continue their misdeeds within my Immortal Palace. However, Pei Yan, I warn you! You can use this opportunity to pressure some people, but you must not engage in a massacre without concrete evidence."

"Ah! Understood."

Pei Yan responded coldly, his inside carrying the powers from five sources couldn’t be wantonly exploited anymore, feeling capable to challenge even Candle Dragon’s duplicate from the Dragon Realm. Facing the true Master of Origin’s form, he believed he and Lin Ruxue could suppress one person without great difficulty. Hence, the Lin Family’s two Masters of Origin felt joy and fear over Pei Yan’s growth, indicating his presence was enough to influence the battlefield’s outcomes.

As Masters of Origin, they recognized the dreadful potential hidden inside Pei Yan, but the enemies still lurking in the shadows were evidently oblivious to it.

Then let them see how terrifying I can be when angered!

With his decision made, Pei Yan ignored Feng Tianhe, who had been ushered inside, instead turning to whisper to his sister, and after listening, Pei Jin frowned and asked in a lowered voice, "Must the commotion be this grand?"

"If there’s commotion, make it grand! Consider it a rehearsal for the coming battle. Inform Gu Chu it was my idea! We’ve trained long enough; it’s time to show whether they’re capable or not. It doesn’t matter if we lose face, but losing lives is unacceptable!" Pei Yan nodded firmly.

"Okay, I’ll go arrange for people immediately!"

"Hu Jiu! Escort Second Sister with caution. If anyone dares to assault you two, you know what to do." Pei Yan turned to Hu Jiu and commanded.

"Alright!" Previously eager for battle but unable to fulfill it, Hu Jiu, who was frustrated by yesterday’s events, understood Pei Yan’s true anger now and joyously leaped to Pei Jin’s side, readily agreeing, "Third Brother, should I call on some folks from the Dragon Realm for you? After all, I’m still somewhat the Young Clan Leader, which should accord me some respect."

"What kind of Young Clan Leader are you now? You haven’t established your name, if you go home to your father asking for people, the folks from the Dragon Realm will laugh at you! Rest assured, dealing with some petty crooks, your Third Brother isn’t lacking manpower!" Pei Yan’s mouth curled into a confident smile.

"Understood!"

Watching his sister leave the hall, Pei Yan continued to ignore Feng Tianhe’s repeated attempts to speak, instead looking at Xiang Zixiong inside and said, "I have just requested a transfer order from Spirit Lord Lin, what I’ve just said, relay it truthfully to your family’s Chief Commander, also tell him to assemble all Embroidered Robe Envoys within Immortal Palace at the investigation’s group outside to await my command."

"Mr. Pei, your meaning, I’ll relay every word to our Chief Commander, but whether we can actually transfer people must await the Spirit Lord’s official orders. This level of mobilization isn’t something even our Chief Commander dares to undertake lightly." Xiang Zixiong, knowing the magnitude of today’s events, cautiously responded.

"No problem! Just relay the message truthfully! Even if your Chief Commander finds it difficult and choose not to move, I won’t blame him, just don’t bother me while I’m handling affairs!" Pei Yan waved his sleeve indifferently.

"Yes! I’ll promptly report this news back! I don’t think it will take long for Mr. Pei to receive a reply." Xiang Zixiong quickly took his leave, signaling his brothers before hastily departing the hall.

With two routes of deployment set, Pei Yan sighed in relief, then looked at Feng Tianhe, now sweating profusely, and smiled, "Elder Feng! First, I must thank you for returning my two retainers safely. But, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
