Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: The Big Fish Bites
"Pei Jin! Your investigation hall should not be triumphant over your successful schemes, whether it’s you or that Du Guangyuan! My family and I will make sure you pay the price! Hehehe." With that, Radu looked up and continued to coldly laugh, "Since Du Guangyuan could disguise you as pureblood, this means he’s already met with my elder brother. I think he should also know that he has a son surviving in this world. Please inform him that very soon he will meet a part of his son’s body. And you! Pei Jin, you and your family will be the next target for hunting."
"Oh! Is that so!"
A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Radu into a cold sweat! Pei Jin was still in front of him! Who? Who appeared so close to him, yet he had no idea! Not even a hint of the person’s presence.
Compared to his brain, which was still in shock, his well-trained body responded first, reflexively sweeping his palm behind him, but hit only air. Radu barely had time to react with a second move before he groaned and his body plummeted like a shooting star.
Bang! The dull sound of a high-altitude fall shook the chaotic battle in the garden, and Depeo had already noticed the change in the air. After seeing Radu falling from the sky, an anxious Depeo took a punch from Zheng Jia Ru and used its force to dash towards Radu’s falling direction.
"Get off! I’m not at the point where I need someone to support me!" Radu shoved away Depeo’s goodwill, shouting angrily as he looked up into the sky to find his attacker.
"What just happened? Wasn’t that Cai Peishen?" Depeo asked, looking at the woman who transformed her appearance. Radu did not answer him and he didn’t pursue it further, as their gaze quickly focused on the man who had suddenly revealed himself and was talking with Jin.
"Pei, Pei, Pei Yan!" Though he expressed disdain for him before meeting, upon the man’s true appearance in front of him, Radu couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear recalling his previous infamous reputation, and his speech became clumsy.
Apparently feeling everyone’s gaze, Pei Yan, after a brief exchange with his sister, scanned the battlefield. He slowly descended from the sky, loudly commanding, "Stop! No more fighting!"
This shout quieted the chaotic battlefield immediately. At Pei Yan’s words, those from the investigation hall retreated and jumped out of the battle, while the Blood Race and their side took this opportunity to gather their forces to reassess the battlefield situation.
However, not everyone could act so rationally. Just as both sides began to withdraw, a member of the Blood Race, who was seeing red, spotted his former opponent dying under his grip. He wouldn’t let just a few words stop him, so even as the injured opponent retreated, he pursued relentlessly, aiming to kill him on the spot.
"Do you not understand human language? I said stop! Don’t you get it?" Pei Yan’s dissatisfied voice stated again! Followed by his whole body erupting with no longer restrained powerful aura; under a deluge of source energy, everyone present had to release their source energy to resist. However, the Blood Race member who attacked indiscriminately felt unstable the moment he stepped forward. When he came to, he realized his leg had already separated from his body, and after a scream, he fell to the ground.
Bang! His fingertip released a triple barrage of dead flame into the person’s skull. The spreading death energy swiftly devoured all vitality within, silencing the howling with only a courtyard of people left, trembling at the sight of the former lively body turning into a shriveled corpse.
"Pei Yan, you’re here! How’s the match?" The investigation hall’s side relaxed with the strong reinforcement, and Xia Yu happily greeted Pei Yan, who had exited the battlefield.
"Are you dumb? He’s here safe and sound, he must have won the final match! Right?" Zheng Jia Ru tilted his head and laughed at Pei Yan, "Hey, you winning there should have been cheered for on site, what are you doing here? We can handle this!"
"That’s minor! I know you both, with your ability’s destructive power, this battle would probably leave this residence with not a tile left. Ugh! Lin Ruxue already designated this land as the investigation hall’s permanent site in Daoist Realm. If it’s destroyed, I can’t say for sure if she’ll come to restore it again the same way." Amid his teasing, Pei Yan’s gaze swept across the site and his face darkened, he sighed heavily with a hand to his forehead, "Such a mess! Who did this?"
Following Pei Yan’s gaze, they saw Yirong Pavilion’s iconic landscape: the pond, which Pei Yan loved, used to brush his teeth every morning, was now completely wrecked with the spring water showing the bottom, and dozens of koi dead around it in an extremely gruesome manner.
"It wasn’t me! It was them!" Zheng Jia Ru immediately pointed at Depeo, accusing.
"Lies! It was clearly! Clearly you who detonated it with a punch!" Despite feeling childish to argue over this issue, Depeo was provoked enough by the man’s shamelessness to defend himself, knowing it was he who laughed wildly during the battle, hitting the water with punches to harm the enemy. It hadn’t been long, and he disowned it, shifting the blame to him.
"Ugh!" Pei Yan felt a headache, this pond truly clashed with the investigation hall; even since moving here, this was the second time it got destroyed, wondering if Lin Ruxue would restore it again.
Without interest in the matter, Pei Yan scanned the two attacking teams. Everyone his gaze crossed felt unnerved, vigilance heightened under the pressure of a strong opponent, the teams involuntarily crowding each other, seeming to leverage numbers to find a sense of security against Pei Yan.
Finally, Pei Yan’s eyes settled on Radu, the core figure of the team. Looking at this young man resembling Little Vlad II, Pei Yan’s face finally showed a smile, clapping his hands as he smiled, "I heard from my sister just now, are you Little Vlad II’s brother?"
"Don’t call him Little Vlad II, he’s been removed from the family inheritance sequence!" Radu lifted his head proudly to respond.
"Oh~!" Pei Yan nodded in understanding, curious, "Then how should I call him? And how should I address you?"
"As long as you don’t attach the family name, whether it’s Moira now or once Cai Peishen, you can call him as you like. As for me, you can call my name Radu, or Little Vlad II!"
