Chapter 15 - The Wind Rises

Ke Bei looked at the cold body of the young man in white, furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and then quickly headed in the direction of Lingfeng City.

"I must get back as soon as possible."

Ke Bei ran with all his might, his mind quickly thinking of countermeasures.

He had already guessed that the young man in white had an extraordinary background. Now that he had left a survivor, once the escaping guard told the young man in white's family about the situation, they would surely be waiting for him at the city gate.

"I must get home before they are prepared."

Lingfeng Base City was very large, with a population of about seven or eight million. Once Ke Bei returned to the city, and since the escaping guard had never seen him before, it wouldn't be easy for the young man in white's family to find Ke Bei.

With Ke Bei's current strength, when he ran at full speed, he was very fast. In less than half an hour, he reached the city gate. When he arrived at the city gate, Ke Bei didn't rush in. Instead, he carefully observed secretly for a few minutes. After making sure that no one was lying in wait, he quickly crossed the city gate and headed towards his home in Wanpengku, the South City.

He rushed all the way. It was only after he got home and closed the door tightly that he let out a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Qianqian, who was wiping the table and tidying up the dishes, asked softly when she saw Ke Bei come in looking flustered.

"It's nothing."

Ke Bei shook his head and perfunctorily replied, distracted.

"Go and buy more food. I won't go out for the next month."

Ke Bei looked at Li Qianqian, whose small face was full of worry, and handed her a few red crystal coins.

"Okay."

Li Qianqian nodded obediently and, being smart, didn't ask any more questions. She took the red crystal coins Ke Bei handed her and went out.

"I must enhance my strength as soon as possible."

Lying on the big bed somewhat prostrate with exhaustion, looking at the dark ceiling, Ke Bei clenched his fists tightly.

"I can't go out of the city recently. No matter how powerful the background of the young man in white is, it won't be easy for them to find me, who lives in Wanpengku, in a short time."

"One month. I only need one month. Once I fully accept the inheritance of Volume One of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, I won't have anything to be afraid of even in the face of a tempest."

The power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique far exceeded Ke Bei's imagination, and it was also his only hope of survival. At this moment, Ke Bei felt a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to break. This oppressive feeling made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ke Bei desperately desired great strength.

"Peiyuan Gong, it's all up to you this time."

He silently sat cross-legged, and the cultivation method of the Peiyuan Gong flashed through his mind.

Ke Bei had to enhance his strength as soon as possible because he didn't know when the forces behind the young man in white would come looking for him, and the key to enhancing his strength lay in the Peiyuan Gong.

"Hoo~~ Breathe~~~ Hoo~"

According to the requirements of the Peiyuan Gong, Ke Bei tried his best to make his breathing even and long, focused his mind on the dantian, and his mind became completely clear. After a while, he entered a state of meditation.

With Ke Bei's breathing that contained a unique rhythm, suddenly he felt a warm current rise in his lower abdomen. Feeling the warm current wriggling like a small snake in his lower abdomen, Ke Bei was delighted. He knew that this was the true qi mentioned in the Peiyuan Gong. Sensing the warm current, the first step was considered completed.

Next, he needed to use his mental power to guide this current to wander through the meridians in his body.

This was Ke Bei's first encounter with such a miraculous thing. He felt both interested and nervous, so he didn't rush to move this thin strand of true qi. Instead, he continued to nourish it. It was only when this warm true qi became a bit thicker that he carefully wrapped it with his mental power and guided it to wander along the meridians.

"Whir~"

The moment the true qi started to move, Ke Bei's muscles all over his body suddenly trembled, like a beggar who had been hungry for a long time, greedily absorbing the warm true qi.

The warm feeling was extremely comfortable, and Ke Bei couldn't help but let out a moan. He could clearly feel his body gradually getting stronger.

Ke Bei's true qi was really too weak, and this comfortable feeling soon ended. The moment the true qi was completely absorbed by his muscles, Ke Bei suddenly opened his eyes.

"I'm so hungry~"

The first thing Ke Bei felt when he opened his eyes was hunger. His stomach rumbled, and he felt his stomach was empty.

"You're awake. You must be hungry. Come and eat something."

Li Qianqian sat on the stool, holding her chin with her small hand. She had been quietly watching Ke Bei when he was practicing the Peiyuan Gong. When she saw Ke Bei suddenly open his eyes, She felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness in her heart, and her small face instantly turned red.

"Thank you."

Ke Bei looked at Li Qianqian, who was pinching the corner of her clothes and looking nervous, and softly said thank you. Then his attention was drawn to the large amount of food on the table.

He was really starving and started to wolf down the food.

In the small house under the moonlight, Ke Bei let out a satisfied burp, feeling very comfortable.

In contrast to Ke Bei's ease and comfort, in a luxurious villa in the East City of Lingfeng City, everyone's heart was shrouded in an inescapable haze.

"Do you know who that person is?"

The figure in cyan sitting on the purple jade chair looked expressionlessly at the man kneeling in front of him.

"No, I don't know..."

The man knelt on the cold floor, his body trembling slightly. Cold sweat dripped from his brow, soaking the floor in front of him.

"Then why are you still alive?"

The figure in cyan looked down emotionlessly at the man shivering below and casually asked.

"I... I'm the only one who knows what that person looks like."

The man kneeling on the ground wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't want to die. Remembering what that person looked like was the only reason he could stay alive. Driven by his survival instinct, he mustered all his courage, suddenly raised his head, and looked at the calm figure in cyan, saying each word clearly.

The figure in cyan sitting on the purple jade chair didn't speak. The empty hall was terrifyingly silent. Apart from the sound of the man's cold sweat dripping, there was complete silence.

After a long silence, the figure in cyan sitting on the purple jade chair slowly stood up.

"There are a total of 437,652 genetic enhancers above the second level and below the third level in Lingfeng City. I'll give you ten days to find that person."

"This is your only chance."

The figure in cyan on the purple jade chair walked slowly in front of the man and threw a black tablet emitting a faint light at the man's feet.

"Within ten days, you have the right to mobilize all the members of the Blood Sword Alliance."

"Don't let me down."

The figure in cyan stretched out his thin and broad palm, gently patted the man kneeling on the ground, and walked out of the hall expressionlessly.

The man who had been kneeling on the ground only trembledly picked up the black tablet representing the power of the Blood Sword Alliance after the figure in cyan had disappeared for a long time.

"Send the order to find all the second-level genetic enhancers who are proficient in using flying knives."

Holding the cold black tablet, the man suddenly felt extremely important.

"Yes."

"Yes."

In the hall, whether they were first-level genetic enhancers, second-level genetic enhancers, or even third-level genetic enhancers, upon hearing the man's order, they all bent over respectfully.

"Is this what power is?"

Holding the cold black tablet and seeing the third-level genetic enhancers who were arrogant and overbearing on ordinary days bow respectfully to him, the man straightened his back even more.

A strong wind blew in Lingfeng City, a wind stirred up by the Blood Sword Alliance. As one of the three major free alliances in Lingfeng Base City, the Blood Sword Alliance had the strength to stir up such a wind.

For a time, Lingfeng City was in a state of fear and unease, and a tense atmosphere pervaded everywhere.
