Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 57 Come to the door
"died."

Ji Fuyou suddenly opened his eyes, and a fine layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

You don't actually die in dreams.

But the feeling of death...

It's so clear.

The moment his body was torn in two, he could clearly "see" his internal organs gushing out wildly, his upper body leaning forward while his lower body remained in place...

All reason told him that he was going to die; injured like that, he was certain to die.

That panic, that emptiness, that helplessness...

It nearly swallowed his consciousness completely.

"call!"

Ji Fuyou let out a breath.

Calm your mind.

He lay on the bed for half an hour before he could finally calm himself down and subside the trembling caused by the fear and emptiness.

A few minutes later, he returned to meditation.

The fact that one does not truly die in dreams is an advantage that no one else can match.

He must maximize this advantage and minimize mistakes through repeated attempts and training to ensure that he will not die when he actually faces the mutated blood bats.

Therefore, this little bit of pain is nothing.

Having recovered somewhat, Ji Fuyou once again activated the Great Dream Scripture, guiding himself into a dream and immersing himself in it.

……

Ji Fuyou thought that the dispute between Pei Zhaoye and Zhang Yongsheng would not affect him, but as a result, trouble came knocking on his door the next morning.

Pei Zhaoye and several others had already personally visited the villa.

"Brother, you have to help me with this."

Pei Zhaoye said earnestly.

"Captain Pei, you flatter me. I am just an intermediate-level mental ability user. My voice carries little weight. How can I possibly be of any help to you, Captain Pei?"

Ji Fuyou said, and immediately added, "Of course, when it comes to the vote, I will definitely cast my vote for Captain Pei."

“Voting…we originally intended to elect the president through elections, but that arrogant guy Zhang Yongsheng doesn’t follow the rules!”

Pei Zhaoye said sincerely, "Others may not know, but I do. You are a hidden master. Your spiritual power may not have liquefied yet, but your spiritual value is definitely above 15, which is equivalent to a quasi-advanced spiritual ability user. With your help, my trip to Huanglong Cave will definitely be much smoother."

"Huanglong Cave?"

"Yes."

Pei Zhaoye said, "Brother Ji must know about the Huanglong Cave. This time, I sincerely invite Brother Ji to join us and form a large team with the nine of us to go deep into the Huanglong Cave! I can assure you that I will not take a single source crystal during this trip, and I will not take the corpses of the strange beasts either. You can exchange them for hunter points. I only need the giant scorpion's tail stinger."

Ji Fuyou was speechless when he heard Pei Zhaoye's request.

Places like Huanglong Cave are shrouded in mist and teeming with strange beasts; venturing into them is tantamount to risking one's life.

Pei Zhaoye did indeed do him a favor by giving him a demon-suppressing and spirit-refining technique, but this technique was exchanged for his votes when he was elected president.

Transactions with clearly marked prices.

Although some unexpected events prevented the election from continuing.

But that's not his fault. Right now, a copy of the Demon-Suppressing and Spirit-Refining Technique, which can be bought for a maximum of a few hundred thousand on the official website of the Central Plains Spiritual Ability Association, and can even be downloaded for free if you have an associate senior professional title, is supposed to make him risk his life in the Yellow Dragon Cave?

Is Captain Pei overthinking things?
"I'm sorry, Captain Pei, the danger of Huanglong Cave goes without saying. Even a senior associate might gain something by going in, but for us intermediate-level professionals, it's just gambling. Therefore, I have no intention of going deep into Huanglong Cave."

Ji Fuyou refused outright.

“Brother Ji, it is indeed very dangerous for an intermediate-level professional to venture into the mist alone. But you are traveling with us. My team already has nine people. In addition to myself, there are four advanced-level martial artists. They will protect your safety. You only need to sense the location of the beasts and command the martial artists to hunt them in the mist. They will never let you get hurt.”

Pei Zhaoye quickly replied.

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

"Captain Pei, I will not enter Huanglong Cave without sufficient certainty."

Four advanced-level martial artists.

Let alone how many of these four advanced-level martial artists could actually protect him, even if they were all assigned to his side, what difference would it make?
Are advanced-level martial artists immune to death in the mist?

The fact that Pang Hu and his team were almost completely wiped out by the Spider-Man is the best example.

Let alone associate senior level, even senior level, once inside the fog, no one can say they are absolutely safe.

Even without the premonition in his dream, Ji Fuyou was still walking a tightrope between life and death.

Hearing Ji Fuyou's repeated rejections, Pei Zhaoye felt somewhat embarrassed.

after all……

Ji Fuyou can be said to have grown up right before his eyes.

When I first met him, although he was somewhat brave and had undergone a mental mutation, becoming a natural-born mental power user, his actual use of mental power was extremely crude.

At the foot of Mount Fulong, if he hadn't intended to use the Soul-Suppressing Curse to directly subdue him, he wouldn't have suffered a backlash from the secret technique and hadn't had to suffer in silence.

In other words, at that time, he could have easily killed Ji Fuyou if he wanted to.

In a way, he showed him leniency and spared his life.

Not to mention that he later gave him the Demon-Suppressing and Spirit-Refining Technique, guiding him onto the path of a spiritual ability user.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has shown me great kindness in guiding me onto the path of enlightenment.

As a result, he didn't know how to be grateful before. It was one thing for him not to visit and show filial piety during festivals, but now that he's in trouble, he refuses to help go to Huanglong Cave and makes excuses all the time!
Isn't this an ungrateful wretch?!
"Brother Ji, are you really unwilling to help me with this favor?"

Pei Zhaoye's tone was filled with anger: "Do you still feel that with Zhang Yongsheng's arrival, I can no longer hold the position of chairman, and that he looks down on me?"

"I have never looked down on Captain Pei."

Ji Fuyou spoke earnestly, then added, "On the contrary, I will not enter Huanglong Cave again until I am absolutely certain of my safety."

"Seasonal Floating".

At this moment, a man behind Pei Zhaoye couldn't help but say, "Don't forget, if it weren't for Brother Pei's support and the cultivation techniques he bestowed upon you, you would never have the status and position you have today, let alone live in such a luxurious mansion! You should learn to be grateful!"

“I naturally kept it in mind, so when the Su family came looking for me, I didn’t even see them.”

Ji Fuyou glanced at him.

Before the man could speak again, Pei Zhaoye raised his hand and said, "Zhou Yan, sit down."

After stopping the man, he turned his gaze back to Ji Fuyou: "Brother Ji, not long ago, a murder occurred at Longhu Manor. I wonder if you remember it?"

He sneered, "The death of that Boss Zhou is very suspicious. It was definitely committed by a psychic. The method he used looks very familiar to me. What do you think?"
