861: Chapter 850: The Importance of Nine Souls Jade 861: Chapter 850: The Importance of Nine Souls Jade Fei Peilie temporarily beca Ning Fan’s assistant.
His current identity is “Blade,” a very ordinary na.
Although his face-changing technique isn’t as advanced as “Thousand Faces,” the person who helped him disguise was Teng Yun Geshang.
It’s still difficult to discern his true appearance, and as long as he’s careful, he shouldn’t be exposed.
Ning Fan did not bring Fei Peilie to the company.
On one hand, he hasn’t completely trusted Fei Peilie yet and maintains a basic level of vigilance toward him.
On the other hand, Night Five might already be monitoring him, ready to strike at any ti.
He definitely doesn’t want to lead those people to crowded places.
“When do you think Night Five will make a move?”
Ning Fan curiously asked Fei Peilie beside him.
“Can you speak softer?
Are you trying to draw Night Five’s attention on purpose?”
Fei Peilie looked helplessly at Ning Fan.
Speaking openly about Night Five in public—who knew if Night Five might already be watching them nearby?
Nobody knew Night Five’s true appearance.
If they were hiding within the crowd, it would be almost impossible to notice them.
“Why are you so nervous?
Do you think Night Five would make a move in a place like this?
This is the busiest area in Zhonghai, with the largest crowds!”
Huaxia has a nickna overseas: the forbidden land for rcenaries.
And it doesn’t just apply to rcenaries, but also to other foreign powers.
If soone dares to stir up trouble here, the protective Huaxia won’t let them off easily.
Not to ntion, within Huaxia’s borders, there are many local forces who absolutely wouldn’t tolerate foreign powers interfering with the Huaxia continent.
Thus, foreign powers operating in Huaxia must tread cautiously.
“Don’t underestimate them.
For most people, Huaxia is a forbidden land.
But for those war machines, every place is the sa…”
“What do you an?
Are you saying Konstantin would allow them to make a move here?”
“Hmph, even if it’s him, I doubt he can completely control Night Five!”
Night Five are Cleaners—Umbrella’s war machines.
They won’t consider such things.
Konstantin had tasked them with taking action against Ning Fan this ti.
If he didn’t warn them to be mindful, once the opportunity arose, Night Five wouldn’t care about Ning Fan’s location, whether the setup was suitable, or the consequences afterward.
“So, Night Five isn’t that easy to control.
Is Teng Yun Geshang trying to use to eliminate them?”
“Don’t flatter yourself.
Do you think you could deal with Night Five?
Don’t make laugh.
Even if we joined forces, we’d only stand a chance to escape.
If Night Five were easy to handle, I wouldn’t be here next to you.
Be realistic!”
“What’s with that?
Looking down on like a dog?”
“…I’ve realized sothing—you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!”
Fei Peilie stared at Ning Fan furiously.
Even in a situation like this, Ning Fan still had the energy to tease him.
Fei Peilie admired Ning Fan’s nerve; if Night Five suddenly appeared right now, he’d like to see if Ning Fan could still laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan showed a look of surprise.
“I’m impressed you figured that out!”
He was indeed ssing around with Fei Peilie.
What surprised him was how calm Fei Peilie remained.
Ning Fan had expected him to lose his temper and start a fight, but it turned out he’d overestimated.
Right now, Fei Peilie was uncharacteristically composed and rational, all because of the threat posed by Night Five.
Fei Peilie didn’t have the luxury to fool around with Ning Fan.
He was genuinely worried that Night Five might be nearby, so he urged, “Let’s move to a quieter place.
You wouldn’t want innocent bystanders to get caught up in this, would you?”
“You’re so charitable, huh?”
“…”
It wasn’t that Fei Peilie was kind-hearted; he was thinking about Umbrella.
If there were large-scale casualties, Umbrella would incur Huaxia’s wrath.
Realizing Night Five could strike at any mont, Fei Peilie wanted Ning Fan to change to a less crowded location.
That way, even if Night Five acted, the aftermath wouldn’t be as catastrophic.
Ning Fan understood Fei Peilie’s true intentions.
He knew Fei Peilie wasn’t genuinely kind-hearted.
But he did have a point—dragging innocent bystanders into this wouldn’t be ideal.
If the commotion beca too great, Ning Fan couldn’t avoid the repercussions and would face significant trouble.
Thus, Ning Fan accepted Fei Peilie’s suggestion, and the two moved to the outskirts.
They didn’t plan to evade Night Five because it was impossible to escape entirely.
Since that’s the case, they might as well pick a better battleground—one that worked in everyone’s favor.
“It’s so quiet.
When do you think Night Five’s Hu Zi’ai will show up?”
“How would I know?
It’d be better if they didn’t co at all!”
Fei Peilie finished his sentence, then muttered sothing in Greek at rapid speed.
Ning Fan couldn’t catch what he was saying due to how fast he spoke.
“By the way, what about Lord Teng Yun Geshang’s earlier proposal?
Have you given it any thought?
If you agree, those two Nine Souls Gems—Lord Teng Yun Geshang can find a way to secure them.
You seriously wouldn’t be tempted?”
Fei Peilie didn’t forget about the previous issue and was puzzled.
Clearly, it was an advantageous offer, so why wasn’t Ning Fan agreeing?
Ning Fan shook his head and didn’t answer Fei Peilie.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to cooperate with Teng Yun Geshang, but he had to guard against treachery.
Still, Ning Fan coveted the Nine Souls Jade more than anyone else.
He already possessed five Nine Souls Gems in his hands.
If Teng Yun Geshang could help him get two more, it would be hugely significant—a milestone for his goals.
With those two Nine Souls Gems secured, only two would remain to complete the collection, bringing Ning Fan close to his final objective!
“I don’t get you.
Lord Teng Yun Geshang genuinely wants to groom you as a successor.
Do you even comprehend what your Phantom Guild is compared to Umbrella?
You’re a re ant!”
“That’s pretty harsh… And even if I refuse to join Umbrella, can’t we still be allies?
Or is it that if they can’t keep under their control, they have to destroy ?
Is Teng Yun Geshang scared of ?”
Ning Fan sneered, dismissing Fei Peilie’s words.
Compared to Chen Fengnan, Teng Yun Geshang’s attitude left Ning Fan unimpressed.
Even if he didn’t join Umbrella, it didn’t have to result in a life-or-death feud—they could work together!
But Teng Yun Geshang’s stance revealed his fear: fear that Ning Fan might one day surpass Umbrella, becoming a threat.
If Ning Fan couldn’t be used, then he’d have to be eradicated!
Ning Fan was once the ruler of Europe and North Africa, whereas Umbrella dominated the overseas Aricas.
The strength of Umbrella was undeniable—previously, Ning Fan couldn’t hope to challenge them.
But Ning Fan’s teoric rise left them trembling!
[So readers have said that the protagonist seed so powerful before, but now he’s turned weak!
Let explain: the protagonist’s strength earlier was due to facing a different world setup.
He was considered top-tier in the rcenary and assassin circles, but only within Europe and North Africa.
Powers like Umbrella are an overseas North Arican superforce—truly world-class!
The protagonist has only spent a few years rapidly building his force to the point where even they fear him.
That’s already incredibly impressive.
Additionally, the introduction of ancient martial artists now ans Ning Fan isn’t truly invincible.
As he encounters stronger martial clans, it’s natural not to dominate so effortlessly!
I don’t want to write the protagonist as totally unbeatable, or it would ruin the story’s purpose.
So, I want the story to develop naturally and progress slowly.]
