Chapter 249.

When this face appeared in that empty door, not only Shi Xi Yuan, even Zhou An felt a creepy illusion.
This human face was exactly like Shi Xi Yuan’s, but those eyes, however, were characterized by gloom and despair, and even tyranny and cruelty.
The entire face was expressionless, but precisely because it was expressionless, it was even more terrifying.
A gloomy and cold aura was constantly emanating from the second Shi Xi Yuan, the fake Shi Xi Yuan was holding the only half door with his hand, and was currently staring at them with a bloodthirsty sight.
But strangely enough, he didn’t step out from inside, as if that half door was a dividing line, and after stepping out, he would be struck by a thunderous blow.
On the scene, it fell into a kind of absolute silence, no one spoke or squeaked.
Zhou An turned his head, looked at Shi Xi Yuan, and asked, “Senior Master Shi, could it be that you still have a brother you’ve never met, or a half-brother or half-sister?”
When Shi Xi Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he almost couldn’t hold back from giving Zhou An a fishing rod, saying helplessly, “Lord Zhou, I know you want to liven up the atmosphere, but it’s not livening up at this time.”
The eerie aura echoed around him, and after Shi Xi Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the fake thing that looked exactly like him, and then raised his hand.
“There is only one Shi Xi Yuan in this world, the extra ones are bound to be fake.”
A piece of talisman paper appeared in Shi Xi Yuan’s hand, and after the talisman paper appeared, it quickly burned up, and immediately afterward, turned into ashes.
The talisman paper that turned into ashes, after turning into ashes all over the sky, surprisingly, in mid-air, gradually coalesced, and finally coalesced into a golden awl.
Zhou An looked on with vigor from the side and asked, “What kind of talisman is this again?”
Qi Practitioners had far too many tricks up their sleeves, and with the help of talisman paper or other props, they were able to perform many bizarre spells.
Even though Zhou An had read so many books, he still couldn’t fully recognize them.
“This is a talisman paper that I created uniquely, called the Cone Heart Talisman, even if the person who has been hit leaves, they will suffer from digging out their heart day and night until they die.” Shi Xi Yuan explained.
Zhou An sniffed and gave a thumbs up, “Senior Master Shi, are you sure this thing of yours is for the righteous?”
The consequences brought about by this so-called Cone Heart Talisman, after being hit, were simply too terrifying.
Come to think of it, suffering the pain of digging out one’s heart all the way to death was the same as the evil characters inside those novels Zhou An used to read.
Shi Xi Yuan rolled his eyes, “Lord Zhou, the art is not divided between good and evil, good and evil is only divided into people.”
Zhou An smiled awkwardly, he had heard this before, but did not bother to learn these things.
After all, his time was also limited.
While the two of them were chatting, the fake Shi Xi Yuan had been slumped so far in front of the doorway, just scanning them with those eyes, and couldn’t step out from inside.
Without hesitation, Shi Xi Yuan moved his fingers, and the golden cone condensed from the Cone Heart Talisman transformed into a bolt of lightning and stabbed straight towards the Fake Shi Xi Yuan.
Shi Xi Yuan suddenly had a feeling that he always felt as if he was killing himself with this action, in short it was very strange.
The golden cone that transformed into lightning arrived in an instant, directly and ruthlessly stabbing at the fake Shi Xi Yuan’s chest.
But the next scene, let Shi Xi Yuan eyebrows tightly wrinkled.
Only to see the fake Shi Xi Yuan similarly raise his index finger, after a talisman paper emerged, it transformed into a golden cone.
Before the other cone was about to arrive, the two collided with each other.
“Boom!”
The sound of roaring resounded instantly.
After the two cones collided with each other, they dissipated into nothingness, as if nothing had happened just now.
“How can he do it too? This should have been uniquely created by me, no one but me would know it!” Shi Xi Yuan said in shock.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “Master Shifu, do you think there is such a possibility that he is the part of your talent that you are missing, what did you learn? What did he learn as well?”
Shi Xi Yuan sniffed and thought for a moment, as if there was really such a possibility.
“To be precise, he seems to be more powerful than my cone.” Shi Xi Yuan said.
When the two cones touched each other, his cone dissipated in an instant.
But that fake’s awl even stayed for a while, a little bit more powerful than him.
Zhou An lifted his long knife and said, “Anyway, let’s slaughter it first, I always feel that inside the Nine Tier Tower, there is a shocking secret.”
With that, Zhou An swung out the long knife in his hand.
On top of the long knife, a layer of ebony-blue colored blade light emerged, and after the blade light appeared, it wrapped around the water current and stabbed straight towards the False Master Xi Yuan from top to bottom.
This knife, faster than the golden cone.
Flame, ice cone, gale, earth thorns ……
All sorts of special effects continued to emerge from Fake Master Xi Yuan.
The means of attack were particularly numerous, appearing somewhat fancy.
Seeing this scene, Shi Xi Yuan’s eyes widened, “This is all the Daoist talismans I used to cultivate!”
After the auburn-colored blade light arrived, it immediately collided with these attacks, which were filled with special effects.
In the blink of an eye, roaring sounds continued.
The surrounding silt and water currents were shaken to the point where they were constantly trembling.
The azure-colored blade light, like an unstoppable spear, broke through these attacks and ruthlessly stabbed at Fake Master Xi Yuan’s chest.
False Master Xi Yuan lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest, although his face was expressionless, there was more gloom in those eyes.
“I dislike your eyes very much.”
As Zhou An finished those words, the ebony-blue colored blade light that was stuck in Fake Master Xi Yuan’s body instantly exploded.
The False Master Xi Yuan was instantly turned into pieces all over the sky amidst this explosion.
This level of fragmentation was something that the previous aunt was not even close to.
As the False Master Xi Yuan turned into fragments in the sky, a white light ball suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The white ball of light was bright and dim, flickering with light, illuminating the dim surroundings with a flickering light.
When Shi Xi Yuan saw this white mass of light, he swallowed his saliva, “Lord Zhou, I sense that he is my missing talent.”
Just after these words were said, the white mass of light, unexpectedly crossed over this dark half-door and came straight towards Shi Xi Yuan.
“Be careful, Master Teacher.” Zhou An was just about to make a move to stop it when Shi Xi Yuan refused.
The light mass came close to Shi Xi Yuan and suddenly stopped, still flickering brightly and dimly.
However, there wasn’t the slightest bit of gloomy aura transmitted.
Shi Xi Yuan took a deep breath and then moved his hand closer to the white light.
He had a feeling that he would be able to make up for his shortcomings as long as he got closer.
Zhou An watched this scene and did not make a move.
The reason was simple, Shi Xi Yuan was an old man, and there was definitely a reason for him to make such a move at this time.
So he patiently watched on as well.
When Shi Xi Yuan’s hand came into contact with this white mass of light, the white mass of light finally moved, like a stream of water, spread out, wrapping around Shi Xi Yuan’s right hand.
Immediately afterward, it followed the right arm and wrapped around Shi Xi Yuan’s entire body.
At this moment, Shi Xi Yuan’s entire body was covered in white light, only an outline could be seen, but no abnormalities appeared.
Zhou An held the long knife in his hand and watched calmly.
After roughly half a pillar of incense, a long sigh came from Shi Xi Yuan.
“It’s finally replenished.”
The white light gradually disappeared and was taken into Shi Xi Yuan’s body.
Zhou An felt that at this moment, Shi Xi Yuan’s strength was gradually rising upwards, as if he was riding a roller coaster.
The original Shi Xi Yuan was an expert at the peak of the Passing Spirit Realm, and was only one foot short of the threshold to enter the All Saints Realm.
However, precisely because of the flaw in his talent, it was difficult to step into it, and when the talent was made up, Shi Xi Yuan’s strength soared, and in an instant, he stepped out of that step.
At the top of Shi Xi Yuan’s head, a faint round bead emerged, glowing with a white light.
Subsequently, Shi Xi Yuan opened his mouth, and this round bead was swallowed into it.
And on Shi Xi Yuan’s body, the powerful aura gradually stabilized.
Zhou An raised an eyebrow and asked, “Senior Master Shi, what you swallowed just now, is it the unique inner elixir of the Dao Sect after entering the All Saints Realm?”
Master Xi nodded his head farther, “Finally stepping into this step, for so many years, I have not been able to enter the All Saints Realm, I thought that it was because my talent was not good, but now I have also finally become an All Saints Realm expert.”
He was somewhat emotional.
After all, he was different from Ye Frost, he was much older than Ye Frost.
Now that Ye Frost had reached the Tongling Realm, if he had really reached the All Saints Mirror before him, it was estimated that this old face of his really had no place to put it.
Zhou An arched his hand and said, “Congratulations, Senior Master Shi.”
Shi Xi Yuan similarly arched his hand, “With Lord Zhou’s speed, stepping into the All Saints Realm is just a matter of time, when the time comes, I will have to congratulate Lord Zhou as well.”
After stepping into the All Saints Realm, he was indeed ecstatic, especially since he felt that he was able to catch a fish just by flinging his fishing rod, a feeling that had never been experienced before.
It made him so excited that he couldn’t wait to fling a rod now.
Unfortunately, this was a different situation now, and it wasn’t his time to fish.
After a burst of business blowing each other up, the two men rested their eyes on the dark half-door again, the gloomy and cold aura still emanated from inside the darkness, constantly, making people not dare to take a step forward.
Fortunately, these two people were not normal people, and they were not affected much.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “How did Master Shifu plan this?”
With this contraption appearing in this place, Zhou An always felt that there was a big secret hidden inside.
Just now, he already had a speculation.
To put it in a very simple place, if inside this Nine Layered Tower, all that was hidden were those defective talents, then this Nine Layered Tower would have a big problem.
That scene just now told him that all those talents could have been transformed into that strange thing, and they were still one point stronger than the main main one.
If in the future, all those people with defective talents accidentally came here, were attracted to it, and then encountered that missing part of themselves, only to be killed in return, what would be the consequences?
This was what Zhou An thought of.
Shi Xi Yuan wasn’t a stupid person either, and likewise associated it, and after contemplating for a while, he said, “What does Lord Zhou have in mind.”
Since this was a discussion, let’s listen to each other’s ideas.
Zhou An stroked his chin and operated the air in his body, a golden eight trigrams appeared in front of his eyes and was slowly rotating.
It was still the same saying.
If you don’t realize when things are going wrong, there is always nothing wrong with counting the trigrams first.
When the golden eight trigrams surfaced, Zhou An immediately measured, the good and bad fortune of this event.
A few moments later, a golden color appeared before his eyes, proving that if he entered this nine-tiered tower, there was no danger, and there were benefits for him.
With the Bagua Arithmetic underpinning him, Zhou An of course put his heart down.
He pointed at the dark door in front of him, “How about this, how about we go in and take a look?”
Shi Xi Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Then I will follow Lord Zhou in to take a look.”
To tell the truth, he was also very curious about what was inside this nine-tiered tower, so he also wanted to go and see what secrets were inside.
After the two of them made up their minds, they did not linger any longer.
Afterwards, Zhou An took the lead and stepped into that half door without hesitation.
And Shi Xi Yuan also followed closely behind Zhou An.
On his body, there were dozens of talisman papers made up of air floating around in a very spectacular manner.
Immediately after the two of them stepped into it, a cold wind hit their faces, causing goosebumps to rise.
Zhou An squinted his eyes, and his Thousand Miles Eyes continued to spread, taking in everything around them.
Although it was dark, the effect of the Clairvoyance was not obstructed by the darkness.
Just now, he couldn’t see it because it was blocked by the material of the Nine Layered Tower outside, but now after coming in, it was naturally not blocked.
After Zhou An saw everything around him, he slightly raised an eyebrow.
Shi Xi was far behind Zhou An, and although he did not have clairvoyance, as a person in the line and having now stepped into the All Saints Realm, naturally he would not be obstructed by the darkness, and he could also see clearly what was around him.
This layer, the bottom layer of the nine-tiered tower, was very spacious.
However, the things laid out on the floor sent chills down one’s spine.
One rectangular box after another was lined up in a row.
On this layer alone, there were hundreds of them.
The rectangular boxes were crafted out of wood and had seals attached to them.
On top of the seals, there was writing from the ancient early years.
Although Zhou An couldn’t read it, under the perspective of the Clairvoyant’s Eye, he saw what was contained in the rectangular wooden box.
— Ashes!
In every rectangular wooden box, there was a handful of ashes.
Even if time was like flowing water and the years were like carving knives, these ashes still existed.
These rectangular boxes in front of them were all urns that held ashes.
Zhou An turned his head and told what he had seen.
Shi Xi Yuan was also greatly surprised, then as if he saw something, he pointed in a direction and said, “Sir Zhou, that box is open.”
Zhou An looked over in the direction Shi Xi Yuan was pointing, and found that in the corner of the pile of urns, the lid of a wooden box was open.
And the ashes inside had long been empty.
Zhou An lapsed into silence, then as if he thought of something, he turned his head and said, “Master Shi, do you think there is a possibility that those are your ashes.”
The corners of Shi Xi Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly, “Lord Zhou, speak with all your words, that should be the ashes of my defective talent, no, to be precise, it is most likely the ashes of someone who once held my talent.”
Both of them were not stupid people, one was more refined than the other, if they were to dip their hands in the hair, it was estimated that monkeys could not even play with them.
So based on the scene in front of them, they already had a presumption that the ashes here should be those of the people in the line who had died in those ancient early years one after another.
Their talent, that is, the flawed part of them, was incorporated into the ashes and was placed here.
“But what is the purpose of this?” Zhou An frowned, thinking.
While he was thinking this, Shi Xiyuan had already arrived in front of one of the urns and examined it carefully.
“Lord Zhou, do you think something bizarre will happen if we open this urn.”
Zhou An sniffed, came to this urn, lifted his long knife, and plunged it in.
The speed was so fast that Shi Xi Yuan did not even react.
The wooden box, due to Zhou An’s knife, fell apart in pieces, and the ashes inside dumped onto the ground.
Shi Xi Yuan was shocked and was about to be alert when he realized that there was nothing.
What was the situation?
He was a little confused as to what had happened.
Zhou An slowly said, “If those in the flawed line did not come, they should not be able to inspire.”
Shi Xi Yuan then came to a realization, but he gave Zhou An a strange look, “Why is Lord Zhou so certain and so decisive in destroying the urn?”
Zhou An thought for a moment and said, “I guessed.”
Three simple words, causing Shi Xi Yuan to be unable to react, a little dazed.
What the hell, you just guessed and guessed, you’re relying on guessing alone, and then you just went straight to the knife, it’s simply outrageous.
What if you guess wrong, that is not to find their own guilt?
Shi Xi Yuan felt that Zhou An’s tactics were a little too direct.
Of course, Zhou An did not say that it was because he had done the math and there was no danger to do so, after all, there was no need to explain so much.
“All in all, there’s no danger at the moment, it’s just that if we dismantle all these urns, I guess nothing will appear.”
Zhou An looked at the dismantled ashes spilling onto the ground as he casually waved his sleeve.
A gust of wind gusted out, and the ashes were then blown away.
But next, a magical scene appeared.
The blown apart ashes re-coalesced, and the rectangular urn, too, flew back to life, quickly changing back to its original appearance.
Seeing this situation, Zhou An revealed a smile, “Can’t be destroyed? That’s really interesting.”
He swung his long blade once again, and this time, it brought out an endless amount of ebony-blue colored blade light.
The ebony-blue blade light swept and churned all the hundreds of urns in front of him.
The ashes that filled the sky drifted apart, and as Zhou An waved his sleeve, they were all blown to the corners and mixed together.
Shi Xi Yuan was secretly staggered, this Lord Zhou’s tactics were so skillful, could it be that he used to be a disciple of the Empty Sky Sect?
Of course, he only spat it out in his mind and didn’t take it seriously.
When this sky full of ashes, after being swung aside by Zhou An, there was another gust of wind.
Immediately after, these ashes unexpectedly separated on their own in an organized manner, each returning to its own place.
And those wooden boxes that had long been turned into debris also instantly returned to their original state.
In front of him, this scene was just too bizarre, and even Zhou An couldn’t help but be a little confused.
He thought for a moment, and then operated the Eight Trigrams Arithmetic.
In front of his eyes, a golden bagua appeared.
When the bagua appeared, Zhou An immediately began to calculate the clues of these urns, but the results were not as expected.
The Eight Trigrams Arithmetic could not be projected at all, which meant that these things came from a particularly large source.
Zhou An thought for a moment and then didn’t pay much attention to this matter, but instead turned his gaze to a corner of this floor.
There, there was a wooden ladder that led directly to the second level.
This tower had a total of nine floors, and this was only the bottom one, there were more upwards.
“Let’s go, continue to take a look.” Zhou An said.
Without hesitation, the two of them followed this staircase and directly arrived at the second level.
Upon arriving at the second layer, it was still the same as the first layer, filled with densely packed urns.
However, on the innermost wall of this layer, there was one more thing than the layer below.
A skeleton was hanging on the wall, its hands bound by chains, kneeling in the corner.
Although it was already just a skeleton, it exuded an ancient and desolate aura, as if it was an extremely powerful figure in life.
“Why is this person locked up here?” Seeing this scene, Shi Xi Yuan pondered.
“I guess it should be because he had a conflict with the person who built this nine-tiered tower, so he was kept locked up here until he died.” Zhou An surveyed the skeleton.
After saying that, he slashed out an ebony-blue blade light that landed on top of the chains of this skeleton.
A roaring sound rang out.
But the result was unexpected.
The ebony-blue blade light dispersed while the chains were unmarked.
“A very hard material, it seems that the person who cast this chain should be above me in strength.” Zhou An said calmly.
With his current strength, he could kill the Tongling Realm like nobody’s business, even the White King who had just entered the All Saints Realm back then was slaughtered by him.
Therefore, the power of this slash was simply not something that an ordinary person in the line could resist.
However, the fact that even this black chain could not be cleaved open, in addition to proving that the material of this chain was extremely rare, what was more important was that the person who had cast the chain was definitely stronger than him right now.
And from this, it was presumed that this skeleton should be at the same level, otherwise it wouldn’t have been locked by this chain.
“Continue looking up.” Zhou An’s eyes narrowed slightly.
There were still no clues, and just now, he had speculated again, and again, he couldn’t speculate anything, so he still had to continue upwards.
Without hesitation, the two of them once again followed the stairs and arrived at the third level.
The third level was even more abnormal, compared to the second level, there were hundreds of skeletons imprisoned here, nailed to the wall like individual sinners.
“Strange, so many powerful figures, why haven’t they turned into weirdness?” Shi Xi Yuan said suspiciously.
Zhou An pointed out the black chains, “This thing, can dissolve their grievances, so with this thing in place, then it can’t turn into weirdness, but once it’s detached from these skeletons, I’m afraid that it will turn into weirdness in a matter of moments.”
Zhou An possessed a seventh level Casting Self, and in the vein of casting, he certainly had his own unique insights and words, and with a glance, he could tell that this black chain was not an extraordinary object, and also had a special function.
“It seems that we still need to continue walking upwards.” Zhou An looked at the stairway.
The two of them continued to walk upwards, and next, there were imprisoned skeletons on every layer, and the number of them was increasing, and the aura they emitted was getting stronger and stronger.
After they arrived at the ninth floor, they finally saw something special.
Here, there were still many skeletons, bound to the wall by chains, in a kneeling position.
However, in the final room, there was an old man sitting on the ground.
The old man was wearing an ordinary green cloth garment, his eyes were closed, his chest was slightly heaving, and he was emitting a faint aura.
This aura, it was the aura of a living person.
“A living person?” Zhou An furrowed his brows, sizing up the old man sitting cross-legged.
Beside him, the talisman paper on Shi Xi Yuan’s body had grown more and more alert.
The excitement of encountering a living old man while inside this weird nine-tiered tower was even more outrageous than encountering a weirdness.
The sense of age here was so strong that Shi Xi Yuan had long ago guessed that it definitely came from an ancient age.
And a living person was meditating here, which meant that this living person had lived from the Ancient Early Era, until now.
What kind of terrifying person would that be?
There was a sharp contrast between Shi Xi Yuan’s caution and Zhou An’s calmness.
Seeing Zhou An’s state, Shi Xi Yuan strangely said.
“Lord Zhou, it’s better to be careful.”
He knew that Zhou An was strong, and that felling up against the odds was like drinking water, but at this time, it was still necessary to remind him.
After all, the situation was different now.
Hearing Shi Xi Yuan’s instructions, Zhou An nodded and laughed, “There’s no need to act mysterious, you’re not from that era.”
These words were addressed to the old man who was sitting cross-legged.
After the old man sitting cross-legged heard these words, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing an endless sense of vicissitude, and he sighed slightly, “It’s worthy of being you… Zhou An, how did you guess it again?”
Zhou An laughed, “It’s easy to guess, because you didn’t bring me a life and death crisis, much less that sense of oppression.”
He had met people from the Ancient Early Years.
When he was in the psychic space, under that black palace, he could feel through the illusion that whether it was the aged old man or the one-armed old man or that middle-aged sculptor, the aura on them was simply suffocating.
Not to mention the green clothes and Yang Lao that appeared behind them, that was even more terrifying.
Therefore, Zhou An concluded that the old man in front of him was not from that era.
Otherwise, after living for so many years, even if he was a pig, he would not be able to bring that sense of oppression.
“This doppelganger of mine, after going through a lot of trouble and escaping from various countries, I finally found this place, but before I could unravel this place, I met you, Zhou An, I don’t know if this is fate, but you really make me angry.”
Although the old man spoke of being angry, his face did not show half an expression, as if he was telling about a small and insignificant matter.
Zhou An stroked his chin, “You know me and have murderous intent towards me, let me guess, are you from the Verticality, or the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect?”
“Does it matter?” The old man stood up, “It’s just a mere detachment, it can’t help you.”
“I guessed it then.” Zhou An nodded.
The old man came to be interested: “You guessed it, then tell me who I am?”
Zhou An stroked his long knife, “Either the leader of the vertical sex, or the head of the Wild Taoist Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect, other than that, I can’t think of another, do you think I guessed correctly?”
“On what basis did you guess?” The old man asked.
Zhou An snapped his fingers, “Just now you said that you avoided the ears and eyes of various countries and used a doppelganger to come in, so your status is not low, otherwise you wouldn’t have been watched so closely by various countries and still managed to escape.”
“Merely relying on just one bilocation, then your main body should be extremely powerful.”
The old man sniffed and laughed, his laughter shaking the surrounding space.
Only after a while did the old man’s laughter slowly stop.
A sentence slowly came out from the old man’s mouth.
“I am the contemporary vertical leader, is this answer satisfactory to you?”
Zhou An raised his eyebrows, not feeling much surprise.
He had already guessed about eight or nine times just now.
Next to him, Shi Xi Yuan, however, shouted, “Surprisingly, it’s you, what is your purpose here?”
The old man lightly glanced at Shi Xi Yuan, “I’m talking to Zhou An, you have no qualifications to interrupt, even if you have the State Master behind you, so what?”
Shi Xi Yuan was momentarily speechless.
Only then did the Vertical Leader turn his head, look at Zhou An, and said, “Let’s talk about a deal, how about you guys leave here and pretend that you never saw it, and then at a later time, how about I leave you guys a life?”
“Do you think that’s possible?” Zhou An shook his head.
The Vertical Leader sighed and said, “I don’t think it’s likely either, but there’s always something to try.”
As his words fell, he was just about to say something, but who knew that at that moment, the light of the ebony-blue blade would come face to face.
Zhou An did not intend to let him continue.
The blade light arrived in an instant.
The Verticality Leader’s eyebrows jumped, and then, his right hand swung out.
In the next moment, on top of his right hand, all sorts of rays of light surfaced, with a total of eight different colors.
A roaring sound immediately resounded.
Under the violent wind, Zhou An’s ebony-blue colored blade light was shattered.
However, the right hand of the Verticality Leader appeared densely packed with cracks.
“Eight Jedi Techniques, it looks like you got all of them, only you don’t seem to be able to fuse them yet.” Zhou An said.
“After the efforts of successive generations of Verticality Leaders, it is true that you have gotten your hands on them.” The Verticality Leader shook his hand, the cracks were deepening, but he was unimpressed.
Zhou An did not speak nonsense and once again waved out the green-colored blade light.
And this time, the ebony-colored blade light was densely packed, getting all of this space covered.
“Zhou An, is there really no room to talk at all?” The Vertical Leader frowned.
Zhou An’s tone was calm, taking a step out, his long blade following him like a shadow: “Talk, what to talk about, if you obediently put your own head in front of me, perhaps I will still talk to the dead you.”
When he was at odds with Zong Shi, he was destined to have no room for a cooperative talk.
He didn’t believe that Verticality would let him go, so meeting was life and death.
The Leader of Verticality sniffed and no longer resisted.
In fact, he only had such a detachment, it was fine to deal with some of the Passage Realms, but it could not deal with Zhou An.
It was also impossible for him to send a powerful doppelganger over, as that would be discovered.
When the ooze-colored blade light attacked, the Verticality Leader transformed into nothingness, leaving behind a sentence.
“When I have the chance, I will personally remove your head.”
Zhou An retrieved his long blade and faintly returned, “Perhaps the person who serves wine with your head should be me.”
“Senior Master Shi.”
Shi Xi Yuan, who had been observing from the side, did not expect to point to himself and subconsciously agreed.
“Go.” Zhou An transformed the longsword into a ring and put it on his hand, turning around and walking towards the outside.
“Not continuing to investigate?” Shi Xi Yuan asked.
Zhou An left Shi Xi Yuan with a backdrop, “If you haven’t investigated, you won’t investigate, just leave this matter to the people at the top.”
The secrets here were pretty much gone, and the extra clues were also gone, so it would be better to leave it to the higher ups to take care of it, and he himself might still be able to get some news from the people above him.
Shi Xi Yuan thought about it for a while and felt that this was also right.
So he followed behind Zhou An and prepared to leave this nine-tiered tower.
Before leaving, Zhou An looked at the place where the Heavy Nature Leader had disappeared and pondered.
“Something’s not right, I obviously have benefits, but now I’m not getting any benefits, could it be that the Eight Trigrams Arithmetic has made a mistake?”
(Requesting monthly votes, Auntie hasn’t even made an appearance in a while.)
