Chapter 622: Chapter 578: The Truth (Part 2)

Xingmang thought, looking up at the disrupted starlight in the sky.

The scattered starlight suddenly seemed to respond, slowly falling from the sky. The moment it touched the ground, this starlight transformed into human shapes.

At this moment, these sudden human-shaped starlights suddenly knelt down.

One of them spoke respectfully: "If the Savior does not die, it will be a huge obstacle for us. Please, leader, give the order, and we will immediately mobilize the Demon Pseudo-God powers under our control to eliminate Qin An!"

Xingmang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "To kill Qin An, we must mobilize more Demon Pseudo-God forces, which would expose these Demon Pseudo-Gods to the Evil Extermination Bureau’s sight."

"We cannot leave the Forbidden Area, and if the Evil Extermination Bureau wants to deal with these Demon Pseudo-Gods, they probably won’t be able to handle it either."

"After the battle at Jinluan Holy Hall, those remaining forces, although powerful, are crucial chess pieces and cannot be easily employed."

The human shapes formed by the starlight fell silent.

The one who spoke earlier looked up and then down, speaking in a deep voice: "But if we don’t do this, wouldn’t Qin An be free and unrestrained? If he unites with the Defenders in the Forbidden Area and colludes with them, it will be difficult for us to deal with them in the future as well."

Xingmang shook his head again, stopping in his tracks, rhythmically tapping the void, as if tapping a table: "Prepare the Star Signal, I want to communicate with all the betrayers."

The speaker looked horrified: "But doing so will greatly deplete you, taking nearly a year to recover."

"Nothing is more important than information." Xingmang shook his head slightly, "Only by letting all the betrayers fully understand Qin An’s information can we have a new strategy. I can only do this for them once, let’s see what each has in mind to deal with Qin An."

To deal with Qin An, Xingmang had employed all his available means.

They couldn’t go out, so they had to pin their hopes on other betrayers.

The human shapes formed by the starlight fell silent, then silently agreed with Xingmang’s decision.

Xingmang spoke no more, closed his eyes, and operated the breath within his body.

At this moment, countless Star Power gathered around him, and the Star Power within his body soared to the sky.

The human shapes formed by the starlight, as if sensing something, followed Xingmang in circulating the Star Power.

Numerous Star Powers gathered on the star river in the sky, and shadows immediately appeared on the star river.

These shadows exuded a terrifying and ancient aura, even in the Celestial Cloud Path, they were dominators of life and death.

The shadow formed by the gathered stars slowly opened its mouth: "You actually activated the Zhou Tian Star Signal, so there must be something important, quickly explain the reason, do not waste everyone’s time."

This voice was filled with authority, as if it could speak for all the shadows.

Xingmang said in a deep voice: "I have found the Savior’s trace, fought him several times, but gained no advantage, please help in dealing with him."

The shadows in the void instantly fell silent, following which, killing intent spread through each shadow.

Their killing intent was almost tangible, causing a heavy pressure throughout the Starlight Forbidden Land.

Xingmang seemed oblivious, patiently waiting.

After a moment, the shadow that had initially spoken slowly opened its mouth: "What is his name? Quickly convey the Savior’s identity. Once the Savior is killed, the Defenders will be a group of weaklings."

Xingmang took a deep breath and said: "His name is Qin An, and I will share his information with you, please work together."

The shadows all fell silent.

Then, Xingmang’s slowly unfolding voice spread out.

The aura on the shadows flickered continuously.

After Xingmang finished speaking the last sentence, the first shadow gradually opened its mouth again.

"Alright, I understand, we will each take measures to quickly eliminate the Savior."

After speaking, the shadows disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Xingmang’s aura also became extremely weak.

He waved his sleeve and walked towards the depth of the isolated island.

"Do not disturb me for the next year, I need to recuperate."

Soon, Xingmang’s figure disappeared into the distance.

...

Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak was very far from the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land.

Even with Qin An’s current cultivation at the Tripod Aspiration Realm, he still had to traverse a long distance.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened along the way, and Qin An smoothly arrived at the entrance to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

He looked up at the towering peak reaching the clouds, a trace of emotion in his eyes.

The last time he came, he faced endless dangers.

But this time, he came as the Savior, which was somewhat ridiculous.

Qin An didn’t dwell on it, stepping into Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

As he stepped into the junction between Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak and the outside world, the scene before him changed.

Once everything became clear, he found himself back in that picturesque peak.

Every plant, every bit of greenery, including the trees, exuded a strong toxicity, daunting all who approached.

Once Qin An arrived, this toxicity seemed to recognize his identity, surging towards him.

The Colorless Void Essence within Qin An immediately surged, blocking all the toxins outside.

Then, Qin An looked up at the peak, and with the Void Essence operating, his words spread far.

"I have reached the Tripod Aspiration Realm, and have come here to see you, appear quickly, do not waste time."

The existence within Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak was very powerful. Being the one who controls this Forbidden Area, they would be able to know everything happening within it.

Qin An did not intend to waste time.

The toxin, originally surging like a sea wave, suddenly halted.

Then, as if recognizing Qin An’s identity, the toxins separated down the middle, forming a path to the summit.

A voice leisurely came, filled with endless sentiment.

"I didn’t expect you to reach the level we spoke of so quickly, I thought it would take you a very long time."

"Since you’re here, follow the path up, I will tell you everything you wish to know."

Qin An nodded slightly, hands behind his back, walking towards the upper mountain path.

Along the way, he encountered no danger.

The toxins did not trouble Qin An at all.

The various poisonous creatures hidden within the toxins gazed at him with a look of awe, as if seeing a terrifying existence.

Soon, Qin An reached the summit of Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

He found the space at the top to be very different.

It was bare, with no trace of toxins existing.

In the center was a round table and two stone stools.

On the round table were drinks.

On one stone stool sat a woman in black.

The woman had delicate features, a shapely figure, long hair cascading like a waterfall, and features as if painted.

But the woman carried an aura of terror, causing shivers despite the distance.

Upon seeing Qin An, she pointed to the seat across from her.

"I know you wish to learn the truth of this world, sit down and have a cup of tea with me, and I will tell you slowly."

Qin An knew this woman’s identity as the presence he had long corresponded with in Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

He wasn’t verbose, slowly making his way to sit across from her.

The woman gave a slight smile and said: "You can call me Leng Qing, or use any name. A name is just a label."

"What is the truth of the world? What are the Defenders and Betrayers?"

Qin An was direct, not hiding anything.

Leng Qing paused briefly, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"The matter dates back to a very ancient era before the Daqian Kingdom existed, during the time known as the Warring Nations."

"The Warring Nations was set to produce a victor, but the appearance of an entity turned that era into history."
