Chapter 606: Chapter 570: Reaching the Pinnacle, Supreme Foundation (Part 2)

Without another word, he turned around and left Li Moyun’s room.

For the next three days, Qin An planned to spend time in the Confidential Library of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

To slightly enhance his Scholar Profession and prepare for the subsequent advancement to the next level.

Li Moyun did not hold him back, instead, he watched Qin An’s figure gradually fade into the distance.

Only when he disappeared beyond the horizon did he return to his senses.

He pondered for a moment, then went out the door, intending to inform Bai Lingfeng of this news.

...

In the Starlight Forbidden Land.

Stars glimmered across Xingmang’s entire body as he sat by the shore, gazing at the rippling sea.

A sound of footsteps approached, Xingmang turned his head and, upon seeing the visitor, nodded slightly.

"Not bad, you two have recovered well, now back to peak form without taking much time, I am very satisfied."

Behind him, Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian walked slowly.

Upon hearing Xingmang’s words, the two knelt down respectfully to respond.

"Thank you, Lord, for saving us and helping us regain our strength. From now on, we will follow you loyally."

Xingmang smiled faintly, his whole body shimmering like the Milky Way above: "You are mistaken."

Yu Caiyi hesitated, unclear about the meaning behind Xingmang’s words.

Xingmang continued: "What you need is not loyalty to me, but loyalty to all the Betrayers, to the existence behind the Betrayers. Remember, by following the Betrayers, you will not suffer losses."

Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian exchanged glances, finally understanding, and corrected themselves: "We are willing to be loyal to the Betrayers, and also to the existence behind them. From this moment on, we will fear no challenges."

"Well said," Xingmang waved, "but you also need to show some concrete actions. Since you have recovered, you can now prepare to deal with Qin An."

Yu Caiyi replied, "How should we deal with Qin An? If my guess is correct, based on previous intelligence, Qin An should be hiding within the Evil Extermination Bureau now. If that’s indeed the case, it might be very difficult for the two of us to infiltrate the Celestial Cloud Path."

She had formed a grudge with Qin An over time.

Regularly gathering information on Qin An, she also learned some of Qin An’s patterns from Feng Jiutian.

After completing a task, he would retreat within the Evil Extermination Bureau on the Celestial Cloud Path.

And whenever he emerged from the Evil Extermination Bureau again, his strength would have increased.

If he is indeed hiding in the Evil Extermination Bureau, Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian did not possess the strength to directly penetrate the Celestial Cloud Path.

Xingmang nodded, "I know this better than you. I won’t waste effort on fruitless endeavors."

"He is the Savior, you may not fully comprehend what that means, but all you need to understand is the Savior is different from ordinary people."

"He might venture to a place, a place of utmost importance to him."

"What place is that?" asked Yu Caiyi.

Xingmang’s gaze suddenly turned serious: "The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land."

Upon hearing this, both Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian displayed looks of astonishment.

Within their astonishment was a trace of horror.

If there is any place that could astonish people from upstream forces, it would be the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land.

The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land is widely recognized as one of the major forbidden areas.

Among all forbidden areas, its level of danger is among the top.

Even if they entered it themselves, survival would be challenging.

Xingmang spoke slowly: "I understand what you two are thinking, Qin An going there is already a certainty. If he truly heads for the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, then you must enter it to eliminate Qin An."

"You are from upper echelon forces, reaching the Perfection stage, can be compared with the Mountain Patrol Gold General."

"With your cultivation levels, defeating Qin An should be effortless, and I will also assist you."

Yu Caiyi did not speak.

Feng Jiutian asked cautiously: "May I ask what kind of assistance will the Lord offer us?"

Xingmang sneered: "The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land is very dangerous, there is a terrifying Defender within."

"But I can use thousands of star radiance to conceal your aura, ensuring you won’t be targeted by the dangers within the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land."

"Of course, if you provoke anyone, that would be another matter entirely."

Yu Caiyi’s eyes gleamed with joy: "If we’re not targeted by the dangers of the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, we can thoroughly search for Qin An and greatly increase our chances of killing him."

Feng Jiutian added: "Indeed, if the Lord assists us in this way, if we still can’t eliminate Qin An, we might as well die."

Xingmang nodded slightly and said: "Then, I will shield your aura temporarily."

At this, Xingmang lifted a hand.

Instantly, countless stars in the sky seemed to heed his call, casting radiant specks downward.

The glittering lights fell upon Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian.

As the light descended, the momentum on their bodies visibly blurred.

The feeling was strange; though they stood just there, it conveyed a sense of nonexistence.

Xingmang waved and said: "I pay a great price for this, as I mentioned before, if you fail to kill Qin An, you best find a place to hide, so I won’t find you, otherwise you will face the most severe punishment."

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped significantly.

Yu Caiyi and Feng Jiutian didn’t dare to speak further and knelt on the ground, respectfully saying: "We will do whatever it takes to slay Qin An." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Silence returned around them.

Xingmang paid no attention to their pledges, simply tilting his head to gaze at the boundless ocean ahead.

...

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

During these three days, Qin An was utterly absorbed in the Confidential Library.

In the meantime, he browsed through a miscellaneous book.

Just as he returned it to its spot on the shelf and was about to take another one, footsteps sounded from the staircase.

Qin An raised his head to see a Silver Dao Marshal hurrying toward him along the stairs.

This floor was also filled with Dao Marshals whispering among themselves.

Their conversations also revolved around Qin An.

As the Silver Dao Marshal approached Qin An, he attracted many gazes.

The Silver Dao Marshal reached Qin An, glanced around, then clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Li has asked me to tell you that you should temporarily set aside matters here and go to his residence."

Qin An nodded slightly.

He knew well what the matter was, understanding its importance, he didn’t continue reading there.

Thanking the Silver Dao Marshal, he headed toward Li Moyun’s residence.

As Qin An’s figure disappeared, the whispers resumed in this place.

"Looks like Mr. Qin is leaving the Confidential Library."

"Exactly, based on my observations, Mr. Qin usually maintains this pattern."

"When he leaves this time, he’ll probably create a sensation."

"But why is Mr. Li involved?"

"How would I know? Also, don’t nosily inquire, some things are only visible to those entitled to see them. If they aren’t for you to see, then just don’t interfere."

"I understand; I just have an appetite for gossip."

The exchanges gradually ceased.

By now, Qin An had arrived at Li Moyun’s residence.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Qin An noticed that besides Li Moyun, Chen Liuyun was also present.

Chen Liuyun was sipping tea at the table with Li Moyun.

As Qin An approached, Chen Liuyun immediately set down his teacup, looking at Qin An with a touch of sentiment.

"I’m merely at the initial stage of the Element Transformation Realm, yet Mr. Qin has reached Great Success in the Element Transformation Realm, truly astonishing."

Qin An sat beside the two and blandly remarked: "Mr. Chen, there’s no need for this. Let’s discuss the main business."

Chen Liuyun withdrew his complex gaze, nodding: "The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land is difficult to access, Lord Bai has made an effort and provided Mr. Qin a chance to enter. Next, I’ll accompany Mr. Qin to the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land."
