Chapter 324.
Inside the space filled with mists.
At this moment, a large swath of terrifying figures with a sense of age were constantly swaying in the mists.
Jin Rumei, who was one of the terrifying figures, was currently sitting cross-legged in one of the mists.
She was wearing a plain dress, her face was clear and beautiful, if it wasn’t for the deep sense of age on her body, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to tell her real age, and would have thought that she was just a young girl of a wonderful age.
However, if one were to take a closer look, one would realize that between her eyes and eyebrows, she carried a sense of exhaustion that had lasted through the years.
“Now, after all, there is hope of going out, but if I go out, what’s the use?”
Jin Rumei looked at the mists in the distance, especially those powerful and terrifying figures in the mists, and couldn’t help but shrink her body, making herself less conspicuous.
She was an expert of the Heavenly Ascension Realm, but in front of all the Heavenly Ascension Realm experts, she was the weakest one.
There was no other reason for this, Jin Rumei’s own line of work made her combat power the weakest.
And the reason why she could survive to this day was merely because she was sufficiently stoic.
Heavenly materials and treasures, she doesn’t fight for them.
Fighting with others, she took the initiative to admit defeat.
Even when facing some juniors, Jin Rumei kept a low profile.
Otherwise, I’m afraid that during the long period of the Hundred Kingdoms Battle, Jin Rumei would have already been turned into a shovelful of earth.
“To be alive is a good thing.”
These words were a guideline that Jin Rumei had practiced her entire life, and because of this, she had survived.
She had even seen many top geniuses, in the midst of that battle, turn into ashes in the sky.
Did she want to fight?
There was no need to ask this sentence, Jin Rumei would quickly give an answer – she wanted to.
However, she had no way to do so, because of the limitations of her lineage, she simply did not have the qualifications to compete.
Because Jin Rumei was a goddess.
This line of work was the most difficult one.
To say that the godmother is useless, but at some point, there is a little use.
But if you want to say that it is useful, think about it, the use is limited.
Calling Jin Rumei a Divine Woman to fight, Jin Rumei felt that it was a bit difficult.
“If I can get out, the first time I find a place, I will continue to stay.”
Jin Rumei thought in her heart, “I’m not going to fight with you guys, I’ll slowly wait until my lifespan is about to end myself.”
“If I can make a breakthrough to extend my lifespan, I will continue to live, if I can’t, I will just die silently.”
With such a mood, Jin Rumei began to wait patiently and continued to cultivate with her eyes closed.
Even the Money Gentleman was able to go out, Jin Rumei felt that with her own level of patience, even if she went out, she would still be able to live peacefully until she died of old age in the outside world.
The air in her body, surged for a while, and Jin Rumei was about to enter the cultivation state.
However, just at this time, an abnormality suddenly appeared.
In front of Jin Rumei, a thin crack suddenly surfaced in front of her eyes.
This condition, which had never appeared before, Jin Rumei immediately recovered from her cultivation, and with a vigilant gaze, she stared at what was within the crack.
A few moments later, Jin Rumei saw something that she had, throughout her life, felt extremely fearful of.
A fishhook, suddenly drilled out from the crack, and immediately afterward, hooked onto her own clothes in a lightning fast manner.
Jin Rumei was immediately startled, but she did not choose to make a sound.
She thought of something, something about the Money Monarch.
“Money Gentleman, could it be that it was by this fish hook, that he was fished out?”
As soon as this thought appeared, Jin Rumei immediately felt that there was a great possibility in this matter.
“If that’s really the case, will I go out or not?”
In Jin Rumei’s mind, she was instantly faced with a choice.
There were two choices in front of her today.
One, was to follow this fishhook and return to the outside world.
The second was to immediately call on the surrounding shadows, allowing those ancient existences around her to come to her aid.
The two choices were in front of Jin Rumei’s eyes, and that fishhook, had already begun to exert its force.
The force was so great that even Jin Rumei felt somewhat terrified.
In front of her, time was urgent, just in the twinkling of an eye, Jin Rumei had already made her choice.
She chose the first one after careful thought!
There was no other reason, because in Jin Rumei’s opinion, this might still have a chance of survival.
Choosing the second one, going out with everyone, not to mention other things, just whether or not you can go out, is still an unknown.
Even if they could go out, if they were asked to stand in line immediately after they went out, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Choosing the first one, there were more chances of survival.
Perhaps the outside world was dangerous, but one was not a person like the Money Monarch.
As long as one kept a low profile and held back a bit, there might not be no silver lining.
Combining the two points, Jin Rumei felt that it would only be better for her to choose the first one.
Thinking about this, Jin Rumei had already been pulled by the fishhook and hooked into the crack.
Soon, Jin Rumei’s figure, disappeared into this mist.
Outside.
Inside the immense and incomparable room.
At this moment, Zhou An dragged the fishing rod with great force, and not long after, a pale hand was seen, appearing from the crack.
In just less than a few breaths of time, a woman dressed in plain clothes with a clear look appeared from within the crack.
When this woman appeared, the people present instantly pulled their auras to the top.
Jin Rumei’s entire person, was dumbfounded.
She was never expecting that when she emerged from the crack, she was prepared to absorb the fresh air around her, but before she could make this move, she felt the terror around her.
“All …… peak Ascension Realm, and this killing aura, too terrifying.”
This scene caused Jin Rumei to immediately shrink her neck, and if there was dirt in the scene, she wouldn’t even mind drilling into it.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes and said, “This woman, she doesn’t seem to be as arrogant as the Money Monarch, and she’s even wimpy.”
Those present, all of them were experts in their own right, and of course, they could all sense Jin Rumei’s state.
Jin Rumei’s reaction was quick and wimpy, she knew that if the other party didn’t make a move, she had a chance to live, so she hurriedly opened her mouth.
“I am from the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms, but I am not good at fighting, I just want to live well, everyone …… let me go.”
The tone of his voice was as humble as it could be.
This was a person who wanted to live, using his best efforts to fight for a slight chance to live.
Zhou An smiled and said, “What’s your name, what’s your line of work, what’s the situation in your location, state it truthfully.”
“Don’t worry, we are all preachers, we won’t just do anything.”
Preachy people?
When those three words were spoken, the people led by Eunuch Wei all turned their gazes to the side with smiles at the corners of their mouths.
If Zhou An could even be called a man of honor, it would only be a redefinition of the word “man of honor”.
It was just that everyone here did not voice these things out, instead, they cooperated with Zhou An and nodded their heads with certainty.
Jin Rumei shivered and immediately explained her situation, one by one.
“My name is Jin Rumei, my line of work is Divine Woman ……”
Divine Woman?
After these two words were spoken, all of the people present raised their eyebrows.
It was said that when one searched for him in a thousand places, that person was in the lights.
Everyone was painstakingly searching for the Goddess, but unexpectedly, today, they were directly fished out by Zhou An, which was simply outrageous.
Jin Rumei sensed the gazes around her, and after only a slight pause, she continued, “In our hiding place, there are many experts, many in the Ordinary Ascension Realm, and in the Peak Ascension Realm, there are a total of fifteen.”
“The rest, I really don’t know anymore, I just want to live, I don’t dare to understand, I’m afraid that after they come out, they will kill me to silence me.”
“You guys believe me, I’m not hiding anything, you guys let me go.”
Zhou An sniffed and stroked his chin.
According to Jin Rumei, there were many Ordinary Heaven Ascension Realms, but the exact figures were unknown, after all, Jin Rumei wanted to stay alive.
As for the Peak Ascension Realm, there were fifteen of them.
This number, was somewhat terrifying.
Currently, excluding the Emperor, there were a total of four Peak Ascension Realm experts in the Great Chu Kingdom.
On the side of the Great Yue Country, excluding the emperor, there were three.
One emperor topped two, so add another four.
Together, there were only eleven peak Ascension Realm experts.
The other side had fifteen, don’t look at the difference of only four, but this was the Peak Ascension Realm.
Every gap was a huge distance.
The people on the scene had the same look of gravity on their faces.
It wasn’t just the peak Ascension Realm that was a problem, if there were too many ordinary Ascension Realms, it would also affect the overall situation.
“Gentlemen, we feel that we should settle this woman’s matter first.”
Eunuch Wei said, “After all, the line of Divine Woman is useful to us.”
The State Master nodded, took two steps forward, and said, “If someone closes their divine soul to hide from the terrible memories, do you have a way?”
“Don’t worry, we have no intention of harming you, we just want to ask you to do a favor, and after we’re done, we’ll naturally give you a peaceful environment to live the life you want.”
Hearing this, Jin Rumei immediately nodded, “Yes, I can, this is my old job.”
“However, for a self-contained one like this, if I want to invite the upper body, I’m only afraid it will take a while.”
The State Master continued to ask, “How long will it take?”
Jin Rumei laughed bitterly, “I’ll have to see the person, I have no way to guarantee this.”
For Jin Rumei, she did not have the qualifications to bargain now.
A person who was good at stoicism had a number in her heart, she knew that she needed to cooperate, and after she cooperated well, she would naturally have a chance to live.
Beside her, the Prime Minister nodded and said, “In that case, we will arrange for a Peak Ascension Realm to bring him back to the Great Chu Kingdom.”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Since it would take time, they should start before it was too late, being able to decipher the secrets of that person from another world would be of immense use to them.
“Wait, is there anything missing from where you are?”
Zhou An asked, “Don’t leave anything out, subsequent discoveries will be made, then no one’s face will be able to hang on.”
At these words, Jin Rumei shivered.
To be honest, she was truly puzzled.
This young man in front of her was clearly only at the All Saints realm, not even at the Absolute Enlightenment realm.
But there was just a powerful and terrifying pressure, and herself, an ordinary Ascension Realm, felt a bit scared in front of the other party.
However, she didn’t dare to think about it in detail, and carefully thought about it in her mind for a while, and then thought of something.
“That’s right, recently within the space, something happened, there was a small hole that was drilled open from the outside world.”
Jin Rumei said quickly, “In the last few days, those fifteen supreme existences, after studying it for a long time, finally discovered the source of the hint of aura left there.”
“Drilled open?”
Zhou An frowned and asked, “What kind of scent.”
Jin Rumei shrunk her neck and said, “It seems to be the aura of the …… emperor, the national fortune.”
“National Fortune?”
Upon hearing these two words, the one who reacted first was the Chief Secretary.
The Chief Secretary sneered, “It seems that it is undoubtedly the emperor of the Barbarian Kingdom.”
All the people present were smart people, and people who stood at the peak, so of course, within a short period of time, they had already discerned it.
In this world, there were only three emperors in total today.
First of all, this matter had to exclude Emperor Xingwu and Emperor Yunqi.
Other than these two, there was only one person left, and that was the Barbarian Kingdom Emperor.
“That said, the situation isn’t too good.”
Zhou An pondered for a moment before saying, “If this is the case, if the Barbarian Emperor possesses the ability to open it, when the door is opened under Fish Death, I’m afraid that we will be at a disadvantage.”
If it was assumed that the barbarian emperor, possessed the ability to open the door and release that group of people, then the subsequent trouble would only be more than that of the Great Qi Kingdom before.
“With my understanding of the Barbarian Emperor.”
Eunuch Wei pondered for a moment and said, “If it’s not a desperate situation, he wouldn’t want to open it, so the current matter targeting the Barbarian Kingdom is only going to be delayed.”
The truth was true, if the Barbarian Emperor possessed the ability to open it, then he would have to make the most prudent choice, taking into account whether he could cope with it or not.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “Gentleman Money, is also from your side, right?”
Jin Rumei hurriedly nodded, “Yes, he died outside.”
Zhou An raised his eyebrows and said, “You guys know about him being dead?”
Jin Rumei continued to nod, “Yes, because we all left a trace of our divine souls inside, if we die, our divine souls will die out, and at that time …… the inside will sense it.”
Zhou An let out an oh, “I see.”
After saying this, Zhou An walked back and forth for a while, and suddenly thought of a way to raise his head.
“Everyone, perhaps …… I have a solution.”
When these words were spoken, the people present, all cast their eyes over.
They were all waiting for Zhou An to continue.
After Zhou An organized his language, he slowly said, “If I start fishing, fishing them out one by one, and after I fish them out, instead of killing them, just waste them and lock them up, how about it?”
Eunuch Wei sniffed and frowned, “This matter, it seems feasible.”
Zhou An smiled, “Of course it’s feasible, there are residual divine souls on the opposite side, then we won’t kill them, the residual divine souls won’t be overwritten, and the other side won’t find out, and at that time, when the Barbarian Emperor opens the door, and sees the empty space, he’s only going to be very happy.”
Imagine, at that time, the Barbarian Emperor was all set to fish to death and opened the door with his teeth clenched, but in the end, when he realized that there was an empty space inside the door, he would only be afraid that he would immediately clench his teeth to pieces.
Zhou An was eager to see that scene.
Eunuch Wei and the crowd looked at each other, made eye contact with each other for a while, and nodded in agreement.
This was a good method, and for the time being, if the situation was to be broken, this method was inevitably needed.
“Then it’s still according to the old method.”
The Prime Minister stroked his beard with his hand, “We are here to escort the law, and we can take it down perfectly, but this time, I’m afraid it just can’t be too frequent.”
If the time was too frequent, fishing a few a day, even if no one died, the other party would still be suspicious.
As Jin Rumei listened to the conversation between the several people, she only felt cold all over.
Is this something a human could do?
Too insidious this wave of people.
Fishing one by one, scrapping one by one.
They were even considerate enough to fish for one person at intervals.
It was simply more than bizarre.
Jin Rumei weakly said, “Actually, there is still a way, if we can fish for a key, we can only solve it once and for all.”
“We did leave a key outside, if we can fish the key, the opposite side won’t be able to open the door.”
Zhou An sniffed and shook his head, “It’s not good, if the Barbarian Emperor really has a key, he is only afraid that he is collecting it with him, if I go to fish for the key, he is bound to find out and will startle the snakes.”
Nowadays, seeking stability, this was one of the most stable methods.
“Then fish for another one tomorrow.”
Zhou An narrowed his eyes and said, “Today, first send this woman to the Great Chu Kingdom.”
“The King of the Far West has been idle lately, so let him go.”
Eunuch Wei laughed, “In that case, it’s a great matter that has been resolved, and he will be happy to do so.”
That otherworldly visitor was about the entire world, no one would mess up anything else, so it was possible to let the Far West King go and deliver it.
The crowd nodded, and in response to this plan, they chatted for a while longer before Zhou An left.
Since he had nothing to do since he would be fishing tomorrow, he would go back and continue to liver the Shadow Spike.
After livering Shadow Stab to level 9, he would then think about whether to develop new skills or continue to upgrade his old skills.
Leaving this room, Zhou An did not stay, and in a short while, he took the Black Jade and returned to his home.
When he was at Eunuch Wei’s place, Black Jade had been very good.
However, after returning home, it was very familiar, and dragged out its own chair from Zhou An’s pink money bag, and ran to the corner alone to play, with a look of I’m very well-fed.
Zhou An also did not ink, so he prepared to continue to liver proficiency.
However, before he even started to liver, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Zhou An squinted his eyes and looked back and forth, then ran the air in his body.
The next moment, the Eye of Chaos, was cast out by Zhou An.
In front of his eyes, many tiny traces appeared in the surroundings where there was originally nothing moving.
These traces were very faint, and if a person in the line of work without the means of detection was here, he would not have been able to discover them at all.
Fortunately, Zhou An was not a very human being, and under the gaze of the Eye of Chaos, he realized that many places here had traces of people having been here.
“Who is it again?”
After Zhou An carefully surveyed the area, he wanted to follow these traces and find the other party.
But unfortunately, the other party was very cautious, only leaving behind traces that could not be erased in the room, and everywhere else was made clean, without the slightest trace.
“Do the math.” Zhou An did not withdraw his Eye of Chaos, and by the way, he also used his Heavenly Worker’s Divine Calculation.
Since there was an uninvited guest arriving, Zhou An would of course choose to take the initiative.
Subsequently, a round of golden, sun-like Eight Trigrams emerged before Zhou An’s eyes.
Zhou An began to utilize the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations to start projecting with this incident.
A moment later, Zhou An, with a serious expression, put away the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculator.
“Didn’t count.”
Based on the traces, Zhou An did not calculate the other party.
There could be two reasons for this, one being that the other party’s strength was high and profound, and the other being that the other party had the ability to hide themselves.
Either way, it was not to be underestimated.
Zhou An stroked his chin and secretly said, “You’d better not show up at my place for the second time.”
He was a very stable person, so stable that he would not feel comfortable in his heart until after he had cut all the threats, all of them, into the shape of an aunt.
If the other party dared to come a second time, Zhou An would definitely comb the other party from head to tail, and then follow the line, catch the other party’s lair, and cut all the enemies into fifty-six parts.
With such a mood, Zhou An felt that nowadays, it was still the most important thing to improve his proficiency first.
He didn’t care about anything else and continued to raise it.
A few moments later, in this room, only Zhou An’s figure that disappeared into the shadows for a while and then suddenly appeared to launch an attack was left.
The proficiency of Shadow Stab was gradually increasing.
On Zhou An’s side, he was frantically livering his proficiency.
On the other side, in an extremely hidden place, there were several men and women dressed differently, sitting and chatting.
“The current situation is changing too quickly, and we are unable to control it, and the Great Qi Kingdom has been destroyed just like that.”
One of the young men in purple, sighed, “I didn’t expect that all of this, happened so swiftly that we didn’t even react.”
When this man opened his mouth, another woman in yellow clothes, coldly snorted.
“So what if we found out, you would still interfere?”
The man in purple choked, then smiled bitterly, “That’s not going to happen, anyway, the harder they fight, the more beneficial it will be for us.”
He knew that this topic, there was no more need to continue, so he changed the topic.
“You went to Zhou An’s place, how did you feel?”
The woman in yellow shook her head and said, “From his residence, projecting the past and present life, it is impossible to project, behind him, is an endless mist, it is impossible to see.”
“However, this person’s popularity in the jiangxi, does not seem to be good.”
The man in purple shook his head and said, “This is not a problem, every genius, is not understood, observe for now.”
“Also, there are quite a few of the younger generation that can also be observed, such as Yu Hang and Ye Frost, the progress of these two, is also very fast.”
The woman in yellow nodded, then thought of something and said, “They are Zhou An’s closest friends, they need to be dealt with carefully.”
The man in purple shrugged, “That’s natural, anyway, right now, it’s far from the time for us to make a move, first cheat, cheat them, and then finally make a move to obliterate these living forces.”
The woman in yellow nodded and said, “It needs to be accelerated, it’s not easy to discover such a good world, it’s possible to let our world, live on for a while again.”
“After all, the cracks in the sky are blocked, and there’s some kind of psychic space underneath, all of this, simply exists for us.”
“Wait, wait until the right time, snatch it up!”
