My Life Anthem Covers the Globe-Chapter 358: Capturing Five People, Awaiting Punishment
This kind of means is truly shocking.
For those at their level, even a Catastrophe-level powerhouse could at most instantly kill them, but definitely could not so easily strip them of their Extraordinary Power, treating them like playthings!
"What have you done!?"
"Is this how you treat your human allies?"
In an instant, Lu Zhan and the others became extremely anxious. Their Extraordinary Power had always been their greatest reliance, and losing it so suddenly was something they couldn’t accept.
However, Su Qi didn’t offer much explanation. Instead, he used Light Attribute Extraordinary Power to drag them away, like capturing prey.
This stance was intolerable for Lu Zhan; his face turned beet red, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and his eyes were blazing with fury!
But the others quickly gave him a secret signal, urging him not to act rashly.
At this moment, they very clearly understood they had to insist that they came to provide support, that the assassination mission was non-existent!
They even kept brainwashing themselves on the way, telling themselves they were here for opportunities, and they hadn’t made contact before due to Pei Jing’s sensitive identity...
After silently repeating this to themselves hundreds of times, they couldn’t help but feel grateful they had been cautious before, not revealing their true intentions, or else what awaited them now would be slaughter.
Moments later, Su Qi carried the five of them through the altered landscape back to near the Ninth District.
This action was immediately noticed by Pei Jing, who had been keeping a close eye on this location.
Pei Jing quickly rushed over, examined the five people tightly bound by Su Qi, and asked, "Who are these people?"
"Oh, they claim to be from Nine Abyss Holy City," Su Qi replied.
Instantly, Pei Jing understood his student’s actions.
The Destruction-level Transcendents from Nine Abyss Holy City hadn’t contacted the Ninth District for some time.
Either they had ulterior motives towards him, or they were wary of his identity and dared not come too close.
"Since we are fellow townsmen, could you kindly introduce yourselves?" Pei Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Attempting to determine their real intentions from the factions they belonged to.
Lu Zhan and the others didn’t expect to meet the legendary Pei Jing in such a manner.
Under the hints of those big figures, they had imagined countless ways of meeting Pei Jing.
Some imagined angrily denouncing Pei Jing for betraying Nine Abyss Holy City after being nurtured by it, turning to other Holy Cities.
Others imagined directly taking action, subduing this rebellious character who shamed the Holy Sanctuary Family.
Some even thought of a one-shot kill, completely eliminating this lineal of the Holy Sanctuary Family, and thus ascending by currying favor with the big figures.
But they never imagined they would meet their target, whom they had been so focused on assassinating, as prisoners, with such a myriad of feelings.
But no matter how unwilling they felt inside, they could only honestly reveal their identities.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jing frowned, as a Holy City was indeed so vast, spanning millions of miles, with the Pei Family high and mighty, some small factions he really couldn’t recall immediately.
Seeing Pei Jing hesitate, Ning Zhengnan realized it was a good opportunity and stepped forward first: "I know you, Pei Jing."
"We initially didn’t want to get involved in this mess, but unexpectedly, we got dragged into it."
"Aren’t you afraid we’ll harm you? If so, you might as well just kill us, since your rebellious nature is already well-known in Nine Abyss Holy City."
"Killing a few more of us is also no big deal for you!"
Once he said this, Pei Jing immediately sensed the provocative undertone.
Feign retreat for an advance?
Pei Jing chuckled coldly, "My life doesn’t matter, but right now, I absolutely cannot tolerate any factors that could affect disaster resistance..."
"So, please..."
With that, Pei Jing’s gaze, as sharp as a knife, swept over the group.
Immediately, they felt a tremor in their hearts.
Sure enough, someone daring to fall out with the Holy Sanctuary Family must be hard to deal with.
A murderous heart that is not to be underestimated!
Just as they felt there was no way out, Pei Jing suddenly changed his tone: "Please settle down temporarily, when necessary, we will release you."
Once those words were spoken, Lu Zhan and the others instantly understood Pei Jing’s underlying message; until their true intentions were confirmed, they were safe, but once confirmed...
At this thought, Lu Zhan couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked: "How long do you intend to imprison us? With anomalies surrounding us, we could be attacked at any moment!"
"How is your action different from murder? I know what you fear, why not let us leave, from now on we’ll keep out of each other’s way!"
Pei Jing lightly replied, "Rest assured, with your Realm, it should take just over a day to recover your strength. Sheltering you for this time is no big deal for us."
"Of course, we won’t wrong any Transcendent who came to support. If we confirmed we overthought, we’d definitely offer our sincerest apology!"
"But if, after our investigation, we find out you have some special purpose aiming to sabotage the Ninth District’s disaster relief, the consequences are clear to you."
At these words, Lu Zhan and the others turned pale instantly.
Fear quickly seized their hearts, this sudden change caught them off guard.
Just days ago, they were proudly charging, ready to assassinate this Holy Sanctuary Family lineal, but suddenly fell into the opponent’s hands, life and death out of their control!
Without even engaging in battle, they ended up in this dire state.
The contrast was too great, leaving them struggling to accept it.
And all this was thanks to that young Destruction-level Transcendent!
However, it stands to reason that someone with hidden motives, falling into such a desperate situation, should have exposed themselves, even cursing a few times before dying wouldn’t be this stifling.
Yet Su Qi found, apart from considerable emotional fluctuations, these people didn’t display any extreme behavior.
Could it be they were wronged?
Or could it be...
They have other tricks, or helpers, making them act so unusually.
However, Su Qi didn’t dwell too much on it, as he still had to be wary of the ever-invading anomalies, so he left them for Principal Pei to handle.
Pei Jing thought for a moment and decided to temporarily detain them.
But the treatment during this detention was quite good, merely restricting and monitoring their movements, providing all daily supplies.
After all.
With proper etiquette, even if they caught the wrong people, there’s room for maneuver.
