I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 413: In the name of the God Son, his name moves the world (First update – asking for monthly tickets, recommendations, and genuine support)_1
 

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Wutong had arrived at the Da Peng City Investigation Team to start his job this morning.

However, he was shocked to discover that Pei Jinye still hadn’t come back.

“Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

“How would I know?” Ms. Xu Jing retorted irritably, with a bandage on her left arm and a slim cigarette in her right hand.

Gu Wutong paused for a moment, “You shouldn’t smoke if you’re injured.”

Ms. Xu Jing looked at him without a word but nonetheless put out the cigarette.

Gu Wutong thought about it but still didn’t mention the Ancient Martial Arts Secret.

The Federation’s control over the Ancient Martial Arts Secret was stricter than he had imagined.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his own mother.

However, one less person knowing about it indeed meant one less risk.

He was about to leave.

Ms. Xu Jing suddenly asked for his opinion on the Western Fire League.

“They’re pretty strong,” Gu Wutong pondered for a moment, “I haven’t had many encounters with them, and the strong ones have all been dealt with in advance. The ones that escaped the net have been injured, but they’re still very strong. I feel that if I ran into them alone, I might not necessarily win.”

“Very strong, right? Let me tell you, the Western Fire League has been completely eradicated,” Ms. Xu Jing suddenly sighed softly.

Gu Wutong was startled, “Eradicated… what do you mean ‘eradicated’? Wait, did you say ‘eradicated’?”

He repeated to himself several times before he fully grasped what she had said.

His eyes widened, completely dumbfounded and not having anticipated this at all.

The reason he was so surprised was entirely that he had dealt with the Western Fire League and heard much about them, which was how he knew how strong the organization really was.

But now his mother was telling him… the Western Fire League was gone?

Just like that, gone?

“What happened? Weren’t they posting on social media a few days ago about reclaiming their glory?” Gu Wutong said in astonishment.

At the time, he had been following the saga online quite closely.

The Western Fire League and the Sand Flame Association had been linked together for some time.

But after the Western Fire League was continuously suppressed in the second half of last year, they seemed desperate, exposing more and more of their high-tier combatants.

Yet, they were gone so quickly.

“All gone?”

“Yes,” Ms. Xu Jing said softly, “Uprooted overnight.”

“Overnight?” Gu Wutong gasped, “Such a massive move? If I remember correctly, the Western Fire League had Eighth Rank combatants, right?”

“The Eighth Rank power of the Western Fire League already showed signs of declining vitality a year ago, otherwise they wouldn’t have declined so quickly,” Ms. Xu Jing expertly took out a thin lady’s cigarette and placed it between her fingers, speaking at a leisurely pace.

Gu Wutong was so shocked that for a moment, he didn’t even pay attention to the cigarette in her hand and eagerly asked, “Who did it?”

“Some say it was a trap set by Elder Wuji of the Old Gods Association.”

“Hiss!”

No sooner had Ms. Xu Jing finished speaking than Gu Wutong couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath, “Is it the same one who invaded Da Peng City last time? He’s that ruthless? He didn’t seem so vicious when I saw him last time…”

Gu Wutong found it hard to believe.

Ms. Xu Jing glanced at him and continued, “Rumors have it that he cultivated a new Godson, who made a sensational debut this time, slaughtering seven Third Rank Extraordinary People and one Fourth Rank Extraordinary from the Western Fire League single-handedly, and even managed to escape unscathed from the pursuit of a Fifth Rank Extraordinary. His strength is exceptional, and he has thoroughly made a name for himself.”

“The New Godson of the Old Gods Association? Damn, that fierce?” The Ancient Martial Artist inhaled sharply for the third time, “What’s his background?”

“Probably no one knows except him,” Ms. Xu Jing said as the clear sound of her lighter echoed in her hand, taking a deep breath before speaking, “The power that the Old Gods Association has revealed this time is surprising the entire Five Continents.

The speed and force with which they removed the Western Fire League were flawless. I heard that many died when people from the Old Gods Association reached the Gongsun Family. Many families in Nagano were plundered, and the losses are said to be heavy.”

“What are they trying to do? Aren’t they afraid of offending everyone?” The Ancient Martial Artist asked curiously.

Ms. Xu Jing swept him a disdainful glance, “Offend? Do they look scared to you? They don’t even care about the Federation’s experts, let alone a little Nagano. You probably don’t even know that some families in Nagano even opened their doors willingly, allowing the Old Gods Association to take away their possessions, just to survive.”

The Ancient Martial Artist couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Having strength really allows one to do whatever they want, huh.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ms. Xu Jing flicked the cigarette ash and said calmly, “I’m telling you so much just so you’re aware. Don’t think that you can rest on your laurels from a little success in the past. There are always higher skies above. Be careful, or one day someone might just kill you off.”

“…You really are like my real mother,” the Ancient Martial Artist muttered under his breath.

Ms. Xu Jing glanced at him, “It was an accident giving birth to you in the trenches back then. If it weren’t for your father’s insistence, I might not have wanted to keep you. It cost your mother half a year when she couldn’t go to the battlefield because of you.”

“…”

It wasn’t long before.

The Ancient Martial Artist left the office dejectedly.

When the door closed.

Ms. Xu Jing leisurely smoked her cigarette, and under the smoke, an image appeared in front of her.

It showed the scene where the headquarters of the Western Fire League was being eliminated by the joint forces of many strong individuals.

Right at that moment, the voice of the Ancient Martial Artist’s Second Uncle came through.

“I’ve inquired a bit, and this time it appears to be a blatant setup by Elder Wuji of the Old Gods Association. Unsolvable by anyone, the Western Fire League was forced into a corner, and then tragically betrayed by the Sand Flame Association… It’s a pity that the Demon Bone at the headquarters of the Western Fire League was snatched by the Old Gods Association.”

“The Sand Flame Association really had the guts; they assured so confidently before that they would protect the Western Fire League, but now it seems like empty talk,” sneered Ms. Xu Jing.

The man also chuckled softly, “The Sand Flame Association has always been a bunch of hypocrites, but it seems they, too, got played by the Old Gods Association. And it’s the New Godson by Wuji’s side who is key to it all.”

“Oh? How so?” Ms. Xu Jing’s interest in the notorious New Godson grew.

“Rumors suggest that this New Godson possesses some mystical abilities, but exactly what remains unclear. All we know is that he’s the reason the Sand Flame Association suffered a major loss.” The man pondered for a moment, “The Old Gods Association has been silent for many years, and this sudden outbreak… I’ve got a feeling it’s not a good sign.”

But Ms. Xu Jing was unconcerned, “The Western Continent is already in such a mess, what good can come of it? Just pray that it’s not the end of the world.”

“Speaking of the end of the world reminds me of something…” the man spoke softly, “In Nagano, there’s a new, unknown toxin. Many Extraordinary People turned into monstrosities that are neither human nor ghost… It’s been confirmed that infection through a wound leads to assimilation into one of them.”

“Zombies?” Ms. Xu Jing was taken aback.

“That’s one term for it,” the man sighed lightly, “Fortunately, the only good news is that these ‘zombies’ don’t possess extraordinary abilities yet, so they can still be dealt with.”

“The way you’re talking, the toxin can evolve?” Ms. Xu Jing suddenly asked.

“There are indicators of that. Currently, it’s within a controllable range, the concern is… some may wish to create chaos,” the man whispered. “For some Demon Cultivators, this toxin might be just what they need to nourish themselves. No one can be certain what these madmen might do for their cultivation.”

“The start of year 404 is looking a bit dire,”

sighed Ms. Xu Jing, “By the way, can you sense Pei Jinye’s whereabouts? Xiao Wu has changed quite a bit; that Ancient Martial Arts Secret from him must have been to his liking. We should remember this favor.”

“I can’t sense him right now. There are three possibilities. Either he has a shielding Sealing Object on him, or something has happened to him, or he’s not in the Central State,” the man replied.

Ms. Xu Jing also instinctively ruled out the third option.

“Initially, he did not follow the main forces but acted alone to test for spies. Although he caught a few fish, he has now disappeared for two days. He can’t be planning to continue fishing, can he?”

“Now that you mention it, I actually quite like the kid. Seems like a good guy, quite honest.”
