Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 653: Sneak Attack from Behind (Requesting Subscription)

Under the stern command of Bai Xuelin, Shi Xuelin and Jiang Jingyi knew it was inappropriate to act, but they disregarded the consequences and each employed their hand to summon their lifebound puppets, flying straight towards Bai Xuelin.

"Utterly shameless!" Gu Shenghui's anger flared as he bellowed, "Celestial Secret Pavilion! How dare you bully the few with the many, thinking no one is in the Investigation Office!"

Upon witnessing the situation, Shi Yuansi's face flushed with shame, regretting that he underestimated Pei Yan before the battle, failing to inform their senior brother of the two puppets in advance. Now caught in the act, he could only grit his teeth and argue, "We two did not take action, these two puppets were merely entrusted to us by our senior brother, and now returned to their rightful owner!"

"I don't believe you! A bunch of old things unwilling to show respect, if you don't follow the rules, don't blame the Investigation Office for not recognizing you!" Gu Shenghui shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for, capture the two and rescue Pei Yan!"

Everyone in the Investigation Office, already boiling with fury, immediately shouted in unison upon hearing Gu Shenghui's command, soaring through the clouds and racing towards the two.

"Block them, buy time for our senior brother!" Shi Yuansi realized the situation was irreparable, hoping the senior brother could either capture or kill Pei Yan, ending this farce so that the die would be cast. Even if the other party continued to press, at most, their reputation would suffer, but the sect would not gamble with this. With the sect's influence, they might endure the pressure and muddle through.

Having made up their minds, Shi and Bai two hesitated no longer, retreating rapidly while hurling various types of puppets from their treasure bag like heavenly flowers scattered around, attempting to halt the Investigation Office's advance.

However, this time they miscalculated, utterly underestimating the strength of the Investigation Office and its allies.

At the moment the Investigation Office erupted, Samikina sidled behind Xila and asked quietly, "Your Highness, should we take action?"

"Is that even a question? Now that the news of the alliance between the two realms is known globally, if we were to shrink away now, wouldn't we be ridiculed by the world? Take down the opponent first!" Xila frowned and scolded softly, and under his command, the Demon Race envoy, led by Samikina, followed closely behind the Investigation Office, heading to the battlefield.

"Disintegrate!" In a rage, Gu Shenghui revealed one of his hidden abilities in front of others for the first time. With a single punch, a metal puppet shattered into countless parts, scattering across the sky.

"Heavier than Mount Tai!" Xia Yu simultaneously invoked gravity and iron control abilities, solely pulling down more than ten puppets from the sky.

Not only her, everyone in the Investigation Office called out, each fighting against many, with Pei Jin, Ye Ruozai, and Zheng Jiaru joining forces. Every move shattered a puppet.

Until now, Shi Yuansi and other spectators finally felt the terror of the Investigation Office, originally thought to be only supported by Pei Yan and a few others. Unexpectedly, no one they brought was incompetent. Before the Demon Race members could intervene, Shi and Bai two's released puppets were all wiped out in a blink.

Now, Shi Yuansi, known for his calm and collected demeanor, was in disarray. In the sect, they were less positioned than Bai Xuelin, and aside from these regular puppets, only their lifebound puppets were their trump cards. Now that the lifebound puppets had been given to their senior brother, facing the wolf-like Investigation Office agents and the tiger-watching Demon Race cultivators, relying solely on their meager mechanical techniques beyond their semi-skilled techniques, it seemed they couldn't last a moment!

"Get out of my way! I'll deal with you two wastes later!" Gu Shenghui didn't even glance at them, directly passing by and heading straight to the battlefield.

Just then, a dark shadow plummeted swiftly towards him, and Gu Shenghui instantly recognized it as Pei Yan's mecha. Leaping, he clasped the other around the waist, and the force of the collision sent them flying backwards over a hundred meters before he barely stabilized, looking down at the broken mecha in his arms, his eyes reddened, and he choked, "Pei Yan! How are you!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The mecha mask in his arms slowly opened, revealing Pei Yan's paper-white face, barely speaking before spitting out a mouthful of pus-filled blood.

"Pei Yan! Elder Lin!" Gu Shenghui cried out in shock.

Not far away, Bai Xuelin, pursuing them, saw this situation, knowing that killing Pei Yan was still incredibly difficult, and had no choice but to slowly descend from the sky to observe the unfolding situation.

Earlier, when Gu Shenghui launched his attack, Bai Xuelin, who received his two junior brothers' lifebound puppet gifts, completed the reassembly of the puppets in an instant. This operation was practically effortless for someone who had researched mechanical techniques for years and mastered the puppet weak points of his sect. With the infusion of new power, Bai Xuelin instantly returned to peak state and moved swiftly towards Pei Yan.

Pei Yan, having battled twice today and displayed various methods, was already exhausted. He never expected Bai Xuelin would shamelessly disregard his identity, refuse to admit defeat, and rely on others to oppress him. His mind and body failed to react in time, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent rushed at him, delivering a punch to his abdomen.

The severe pain made Pei Yan's body tremble, but a furious Bai Xuelin clearly did not intend to let him go so easily. He grabbed Pei Yan's wrist, forcibly twisting it downward, while his other fist struck towards the armpit. A metallic cracking sound ensued, creating fissures on Pei Yan's mechanical arm.

"Arrogant! Try being arrogant in front of me again! Today, I'll completely cripple you!" A deranged Bai Xuelin combined punches and kicks, pounding Pei Yan's mechanical form like a fierce storm. Pei Yan wanted to counterattack, but at this moment, the long-dormant sea of psychic energy within him, stimulated by prolonged combat and today's insights into magic, began to surge violently.

Feeling this change, Pei Yan was overjoyed; his opportunity to break the realm had finally arrived! But just during this dazed moment, he suffered several more hits on his body, eventually being sent flying until Gu Shenghui caught him.

"Elder Lin, what's wrong with my brother?" Pei Jin rushed through the crowd, kneeling beside Pei Yan, urgently asking.

Elder Lin was silent for a while, with a heavy expression on his face, saying nothing.

"Oh come on, old man, what are you keeping a secret now! What's happened with Pei Yan!" Wang Wenze anxiously circled around, questioning Elder Lin while watching Zhao Yuanhu wipe blood from Pei Yan's mouth with a handkerchief.

Elder Lin glanced around, showing a helpless expression, and muttered quietly in common language, "His internal psychic energy is now as abundant as the sea, and these injuries no longer require external treatment, having already healed. He only needs rest because he is physically and mentally exhausted."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's hearts, previously high with anxiety, finally relaxed. Gu Shenghui, realizing Pei Yan was not in mortal danger, remembered the culprits behind the incident, rose, pushed through the crowd to the periphery, and stared at the three elders of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, pronouncing word by word, "None of you three will leave today!"
