Jiang Junyi was seen grabbing Virgo's ankle with one hand and Leo's fist with the other.
"This isn't how you say hello."
With a shake of his hands, Jiang Junyi forced back the two Small Grandmaster Peak experts.
He naturally couldn't have done it with his own strength, but with the enhancement of Shadow Heart, Jiang Junyi's strength was infinitely close to Small Grandmaster Peak.
Even stronger.
True Qi surged around Virgo and Leo, clearly indicating they were getting serious.
Just then, Leo's nose twitched, and the surrounding True Qi also weakened.
"The Lord's power?" Leo asked curiously.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Virgo asked, puzzled.
Leo pointed at Jiang Junyi: "He has the Lord's power on him."
Virgo frowned tightly, looking at Jiang Junyi: "Who exactly are you?"
"Virgo, Leo, my master told me about you," Jiang Junyi said, crossing his arms.
That's right, this was why he dared to come here so brazenly.
Since the system had indicated that Shadow Heart contained the Lord's power, why shouldn't he also report to Black Palace?
This would make information transfer more convenient and allow for better mobilization of Black Palace.
A black ripple appeared in the arena, and Capricorn walked out: "You are Shadow?"
After receiving Virgo's notification, Capricorn rushed over without delay.
"That's right," Jiang Junyi nodded.
He had no idea what 'Shadow' was, but he figured he could just make up a fictional master and see Black Palace's reaction.
Now, it seemed Black Palace might have actually had such an existence in the past.
Capricorn's voice held a hint of nostalgia: "I didn't expect Shadow to still be alive after that battle back then. How is your master?"
Jiang Junyi's tone carried a touch of sadness: "He has passed away."
Capricorn was silent for a moment: "Is that so..."
Shadow was among Black Palace's earliest members; Virgo and Leo weren't very familiar with him.
Only Capricorn was familiar, as that was an old comrade he often fought alongside.
"Welcome, child."
"Don't diminish his reputation."
Capricorn stepped forward and patted Jiang Junyi's shoulder.
He turned to Virgo and Leo and said, "He's one of us."
After official identity verification, Jiang Junyi revealed information about Night Raven: "I've investigated and found that another force was involved in that incident back then: the overseas assassin mercenary group—Night Raven."
Capricorn frowned: "Are you sure?"
"Certain," Jiang Junyi nodded. "And recently, Night Raven has shown signs of activity, having robbed goods from Su Corporation in Jiangcheng."
Virgo, Wang Hao, and the others exchanged glances.
Could it be?!
"I intend to confront this so-called Night Raven, but I fear I can't do it alone, which is why I came here."
Jiang Junyi paused.
"Time waits for no one."
Capricorn's voice deepened: "Virgo, Leo, Wei Long, prepare for action. Everything will be under Shadow's command."
"Yes!"
Soon, a fully armed Wang Hao emerged.
Tactical helmet, combat uniform, combat boots, a row of square-shaped items hanging from his waist, and a large black bag on his back.
"No skin or flesh lost, no one left behind!" Wang Hao saluted.
At this moment, Virgo was also ready, wearing a black mask, a black and white tight-fitting combat suit, and her hair tied into a high ponytail for ease of movement.
Leo's attire was much simpler: a black and gold combat suit and a pair of metal knuckle dusters.
"I've already arranged the plane; Virgo is clear on the travel details," Capricorn said.
He himself had the same concerns as Uncle Wu when calling for help; it was not convenient for him to go out.
Jiang Junyi took a look: two Small Grandmaster Peak, one Half-step Grandmaster, plus me and Uncle Wu, should be enough.
This configuration, in an era where Grandmasters do not appear, can be described as quite luxurious.
Even if a Grandmaster appeared, there would be a chance to contend.
"Let's go," Jiang Junyi nodded.
"Let's go, let's go!" Leo clapped his fists together, appearing very excited.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Junyi's figure thoughtfully, while Virgo remained as expressionless as ever.
On the other side.
Wan Qingyun sat alone by the window, lost in thought.
Just as Jiang Junyi broke through to Little Grandmaster, she also broke through to Little Grandmaster.
And this breakthrough brought her something very different.
For example, images.
Now, when she channeled True Qi into her eyes, she felt the surrounding scenery appear in her mind.
However, the images presented in her mind were black and white, with chaotic lines, and very blurry.
But even so, she could still discern some directions and faint outlines of objects.
"What a pity... I wanted to see you first," Wan Qingyun murmured to herself, sitting by the window and holding the pendant on her chest.
"Oh my~ Have you finally broken through to Little Grandmaster~"
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in Wan Qingyun's mind.
"Who?! Who are you?!" Wan Qingyun's expression changed, and she looked around nervously.
"Don't look, I'm not around you."
"Where are you, and who exactly are you?" Wan Qingyun frowned tightly.
"Me? I'm right in your hand~"
Wan Qingyun was a bit stunned, in her hand?
She touched the star pendant in her hand: "This, is that you?"
"That's right, only when you reach the Little Grandmaster realm can the quality of your True Qi awaken me."
Wan Qingyun asked curiously, "So, what's your use?"
At this moment, she vaguely saw a mouth opening on the pendant.
"Me, I can answer all your questions!"
Wan Qingyun's expression darkened: "What do I have to pay?"
"Clever, you just need to feed me, and I'll be fine when I feel the value is matched."
"Be more specific."
"Hehehe."
The pendant let out a sinister laugh but didn't specify what it needed to be fed.
Wan Qingyun's expression grew even more unpleasant; could it be that it needed flesh and blood?!
After all, this thing seemed a bit evil.
Should she test it out?
Wan Qingyun hesitated; answering all questions, she had some needs now...
After a long time, she finally made up her mind: try it!
Wan Qingyun pulled out a strand of her own hair and fed it to the pendant.
"No, what can a strand of hair do... Ugh!!!"
The pendant suddenly glowed with an intensely black, incredibly rich light.
"You! Quick... ask!!!"
Huh? A strand of hair is enough? Is it that generous?
Wan Qingyun scratched her cheek:
"I want to know if Jiang Junyi will be in danger."
"No!"
"Ask again!"
Now it was Wan Qingyun who was confused; normally, shouldn't she only be able to ask once? She could ask again?
"You hurry up!"
"Oh, oh." Wan Qingyun could tell this guy was in a hurry.
"Then... what did he go to do?"
"Fight!"
"Ask again!"
Wan Qingyun let out a sigh of relief.
After all that, it turned out to be a fight.
But does fighting require going to a very distant place? I heard that offline real-life fighting is quite popular recently. Is Junyi doing that too?
Unconsciously, Wan Qingyun's thoughts drifted back to Jiang Junyi.
"Sister, can you hurry up?"
"Then, does he like me very much?" Wan Qingyun's small face flushed slightly.
"Yes, he f***ing likes you a lot!"
The pendant was utterly speechless.
What kind of decent person asks such questions?
Back then, those people would ask things like—
"The sky has fallen, can the yellow sky rise?"
"Can I replace him?"
"Where is the imperial seal?"
"If the enemy can go, can I go?"
And so on.
But how could this girl have such strong favor from destiny? It doesn't seem to be her own...
And when Wan Qingyun heard the pendant's answer, her expression brightened, and she pulled out another strand of hair.
The pendant cried out in alarm: "Hey, hey, hey? Don't come over here!"
