Chapter 326.
The people of this city, looking up at Zhou An’s distant figure, all fell into deep thought.
Tonight, it was feared that someone’s head would fall to the ground.
This was everyone’s thought.
That recently silent for a long time, but not forgotten by the rivers and lakes of the knife pots and pans of the double best, finally in the limelight, carrying a sky full of murderous gas, left this city.
There were many rights and wrongs in the Jianghu, but when it came to that Zhou An, it was the rights and wrongs of others.
A few Jianghu people looked at the figure crossing in the sky, silently shrinking their necks, walking to the corner next to them, watching the figure in the sky disappear with envy.
In the silent and uninhabited wilderness, the woman in yellow was desperately running away.
She used all her strength to push the air in her body, transforming into a trail of residual shadows in mid-air, her destination being her lair.
Inside her body, the toxins of the residual Healing Poison Saint Body were corroding her Qi at all times, causing her to suffer from numbness at all times, and making her heart burn with anxiety.
The woman in yellow was good at stealth and charm, and she knew very well that there was no way to cut off the connection with this toxin remaining in her body.
Zhou An would most likely find it.
But there was no way for her to do so.
Nowadays, it seemed that there was only one path that would allow her to live, and that was to find her companion, and with the help of her companion, see if she could remove the toxin from her body.
If she could, then after removing it, she would erase all traces of it and hurry to hide.
If it can t, then …… go back first.
Going back, Zhou An won’t be able to find it, wait until he goes back, remove the toxin, and then come back to avenge this time.
With so many people, it was impossible to not be able to beat Zhou An.
With this kind of mood, the woman in yellow ran faster, and the distance to her destination, was getting closer and closer.
Ahead, was a clear lake, and one could see the fish swimming inside.
The woman in yellow came to stand in front of this lake, looked back at the deep darkness, and without hesitation leaped into the lake.
The lake was stirred up a wave, just in the blink of an eye, the figure of the woman in yellow disappeared at the end of the lake, leaving only a piece of ripples, constantly rippling on the surface of the lake.
After entering the lake, the yellow-clothed woman immediately acted as if she were a fish, swimming on the surface of the water.
Even in the water, she could see that there was a ball of light in the water that was constantly flickering.
There was a space at the bottom of the lake, a secret realm that they had opened up with a great deal of effort.
As long as they swam inside, they would be able to find the man in purple as well as the other companions.
The woman in yellow swung her slender legs and swam faster and faster.
However, just as she was about to approach, an accident suddenly appeared.
The surrounding current suddenly turned from soft to hard, like a bronze wall, confining the woman in yellow within it.
In the yellow-clothed woman’s terrified eyes, she saw a huge palm made up of water flowing towards her.
Not only that, in her ears, she also heard the voice that was even more bizarre than bizarre.
“It’s not good to play with anything, playing with water in front of me, are you worthy?”
The words had just fallen, and Zhou An’s figure, appeared in front of the woman in yellow.
“He is …… stronger in the water?”
The woman in yellow was filled with dismay and only felt her body trembling.
In front of her eyes, Zhou An was wrapped in water currents, which were like long dragons, guarding Zhou An in the center.
That’s right, it was precisely the guard.
At this moment, Zhou An, as if the Lord of Ten Thousand Rivers, the water currents could only submit to Zhou An’s feet.
The yellow-clothed woman then realized what kind of terrifying opponent the person they were dealing with was.
This was still a person?
“We …… shouldn’t be here, we should go to other worlds.”
This thought appeared, but it was also too late.
Zhou An made a mistake with his footsteps, transforming into a residual shadow and appearing in front of the woman in yellow.
His hand was gentle, and he pinched the neck of the woman in yellow, as if he was caressing it.
“Back there, is that your lair?”
Zhou An’s voice was so soft that one would think he was talking to a friend, but his eyes, however, seemed like cold ice, “Right?”
The woman in yellow was choked by Zhou An, and since she was in the water with no way to speak, she could only nod her head with difficulty.
Zhou An lifted the woman in yellow closer, “So, are many people in there?”
The woman in yellow continued to nod her head while pointing her finger to her mouth, as if she was trying to speak but couldn’t say anything in the water.
Seeing this, Zhou An gently waved his hand.
In the next moment, a transparent air mass isolated the surroundings.
The yellow-clothed woman trembled and shivered, “Master, I’ll take you in, spare me, I don’t want to die.”
Zhou An looked at the woman in yellow with a flirtatious look and tsked, shaking his head, “I thought it was some kind of important information, but it turns out to be begging for mercy.”
As the words fell, a long knife, suddenly penetrated the woman in yellow, running through the woman in yellow’s back.
The yellow-clothed woman lowered her head, looking at the long knife at her chest, and in her eyes, other than fear, there was more confusion.
At this moment, Zhou An’s voice, as if a demon whispered, rang in her ears.
“The bait is useless, what’s the point of keeping it?”
The long knife shook, and the yellow-clothed woman immediately turned into a bloody mess.
Zhou An turned his head and looked at the glow under the water, “This is the bigger fish.”
He had originally used the woman in yellow as bait, and now that the fish had been caught, the bait could die.
“Let me see just how many more big fish there are, tsk tsk tsk, the Absolute Enlightenment Realm being able to enter the Psychic Space, it seems that the origin is not small.”
Zhou An had already seen that the strength of the woman in yellow was an Absolute Enlightenment Realm that was even higher than the All Saints Realm.
The Psychic Space could not enter the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, even if it was the All Saints Realm.
For the other party to be able to enter, Zhou An knew that there might be a huge and incomparable secret waiting for him inside.
Thinking about this, Zhou An did not hesitate and executed Xuan Shadow Slay, transforming into a shadow, and under the effect of his natural water body, he quickly approached towards that light.
Inside the light.
It was a huge cave.
The man in purple and a large number of people were sitting together here.
There were roughly three dozen people, all of them at the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, and the man in purple and a few others were even at the peak Absolute Enlightenment Realm.
Recently, every once in a while, they would count their harvests here.
A man was holding a roster in his hands, “I recently killed five young generation Celestial Pride, without arousing suspicion, they were all made to look like they killed each other and covered it up.”
Another woman was embroidering a few names, “These are the ones I killed, you guys said you couldn’t make it too obvious, so you didn’t kill too many.”
The rest of them, too, were chiming in with their own.
The man in purple listened and nodded repeatedly, sort of affirming what these people had done.
At this time, he seemed to realize that something was wrong and frowned, “Where is Huang E?”
As the words fell, the group of people glanced at each other, all stating that they did not know.
The embroidered woman threaded a needle and erased all the names on the white cloth, “She’s busier than all of us, after all, this world, there is a psychic space, it’s normal to come back late, it’s better for you to talk to all the adults first.”
An embroidered woman opened her mouth, and the crowd nodded their heads, obviously the so-called lords, seemed to be more important.
The man in purple nodded and took out a piece of jade from his bosom, flicking it at the void in front of him.
In the next moment, an immense and incomparable black hole immediately surfaced under a wobble in the void ahead.
In the black hole, there were several figures, emitting a terrifyingly terrifying aura, that were constantly writhing inside.
It was impossible to see their true faces, but even just a mere hint of their aura leaking out caused one to feel trembling all over.
“Zi Huan, how is the situation.”
One of the figures was pitch black, and only the area of the eyes was a fiery red like the sun, “How long has it been, and you guys still haven’t resolved it.”
The purple-clothed man named Zi Huan hurriedly bent down, “My lord, nowadays, the current situation in this world is changing extremely fast, we are not yet able to grasp it, but it should be very soon, we will be able to have one of the lords, descend here.”
The dark figure nodded, “It still needs to be accelerated, the contamination is too fast.”
“Yes!” Zi Huan hurriedly said, “Don’t worry my lord, now there will be a battle of the barbarian kingdoms soon, at that time, we will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to kill more people, so that all the lords will have a chance to come to this world.”
With these words, the pitch-black figure then did not continue.
Zi Huan seemed to be relieved, and sweat covered his forehead.
He was about to continue speaking and talk about his plan behind him when, just then, the pitch-black figure suddenly stopped, and those fiery red eyes, like the sun, looked straight behind Zi Huan.
Zi Huan was slightly stunned and looked back, only to find an empty space behind him, nothing.
He had some doubts in his heart, not understanding this lord, what exactly did he mean.
But before he could open his mouth, the pitch-black figure slowly spoke.
“Failed.”
Three simple words caused Zi Huan to freeze on the spot.
The pitch-black figure continued, “Come out, junior, I didn’t expect that it would be this interesting.”
Another sentence, and Zi Huan only felt that within this space, it was as if there was some terrifying existence that was watching him.
At that moment, in the shadows, there was a shaking.
In the next moment, a long blade, emerged in this space.
The ebony-blue blade light filled the entire space.
With the addition of the Xuan Shadow Slaying, coupled with the addition of Zhou An’s various abilities, when this blade went down, the movements of the thirty or so people in this space froze in unison.
Whether it was the woman embroidering flowers, or the man holding the roster, or those companions, a line of blood suddenly appeared on their necks.
A gust of cloudy wind blew by, and Zhou An’s long black sword leaned on the ground with a clanging sound.
A human head, rolling down from the neck, rolled on the ground with the disbelief of being alive.
Zi Huan only felt a chill run through his body, the pores of his entire body instantly opening up, “Zhou An!”
Around him, were the corpses of his companions, making his scalp numb.
With just a single slash, it was like cutting through grass, killing everyone.
What kind of strength was this?
Zhou An faintly swept Zi Huan, “You can still live a little, don’t seek death.”
These words caused Zi Huan’s entire body to immediately freeze, not daring to utter a single word.
Only then did Zhou An turn his head, looking at the black hole in front of him, with an interested smile on his face, “You guys, are not from this side of the world, I was just now wondering why there would be someone from the Absolute Enlightenment realm, entering the Tongling space, if you guys aren’t from this side of the world, then it makes sense, after all, the rules aren’t universal.”
As soon as these words came out, the pitch-black figure in the black hole emitted a terrifying pressure.
Zhou An, however, felt nothing.
This was because he had heard the conversation of several people after he had entered the place.
To put it in one sentence, the other party seemed unable to come.
In other words, no matter how powerful, it was impossible to come to this world unless, there was a special way.
And this special way seemed to be related to Zi Huan and these people.
The pitch-black figure looked towards Zi Huan, and suddenly, those red eyes, which were like flames, erupted with a terrifying burning heat in an instant.
Zi Huan, who was trembling all over, suddenly froze his body, and immediately afterward, in front of Zhou An, he gradually fell apart.
Zhou An looked at this scene blandly, his face calm as usual: “Killing and exterminating, but that’s just it, since you guys have already appeared, there are signs to follow, it’s just a matter of time.”
He didn’t care about this living mouth, because it didn’t matter if this so-called living mouth was kept or not.
Keeping it, it was more convenient, not keeping it, there was also the possibility of finding out.
As Zhou An often said, a person, as long as in this world, there are always traces to follow, the difference is only in how much.
Under the accumulation of less and more, nothing can be hidden.
The dark figure said in a cold voice, “You will die.”
“Now?”
Zhou An faintly said, “It seems impossible.”
The pitch black figure’s tone was cold, “When we descend into this world, then …… the first one will be to kill you.”
Zhou An shrugged indifferently, “That will have to wait until you can descend, right now, don’t fart.”
As soon as these words came out, the pitch-black figure seemed to be infuriated by Zhou An, and the pair of eyes that were as fiery red as the sun released an even more scorching light.
However, this light only lasted for an instant, as the black hole, was gradually disappearing.
During the entire process, the pitch-black figure didn’t say a single word to continue on, as if the rest of the words, were no longer important.
However, that terrifying killing aura was constantly blooming on the pitch-black figure.
It was as if he wanted to completely memorize Zhou An and reflect it deeply in his heart.
After the black hole completely disappeared, the place was empty, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of headless corpses.
Zhou An lifted his long knife, and as the ebony-blue blade light flashed by, the corpses instantly turned into ashes.
After doing this, Zhou An stretched his waist, then, carrying the black long knife, he left this place.
Following this lake, Zhou An returned to the outside world.
Without stopping, he followed the way he came and arrived at the location where Eunuch Wei and the others were.
When he returned, Zhou An was thinking about what happened today, and after combing through the causes and consequences, he got an answer.
He didn’t have too many clues, but knew one thing.
These people, it seemed, were from another world, and they seemed to want to descend here, but there were so-called rule restrictions that prevented them from completely descending.
Zi Huan’s group of people seemed to have come here to break the rules, but before they could do so, they were killed by Zhou An.
For now, there were only these two points.
Of course, with these points, it was already enough.
Go back and talk to Eunuch Wei and the others, and you can’t leave yourself alone to think about this.
With this thought in mind, Zhou An had already arrived at the location of Eunuch Wei and the others.
At this time, the Far West King and the others had already gone back, the Chief Secretary and the others also had something to do, only Eunuch Wei, was still waiting here.
Zhou An had just arrived when he heard Eunuch Wei’s voice coming from inside.
“All smelling of blood, who did you go and kill again?”
Zhou An sniffed and pushed his way in, just to see Eunuch Wei sipping from a wine glass.
He didn’t make a fuss, and poured himself a cup, while telling the original story of what happened this evening.
When Zhou An had finished, Eunuch Wei put his wine cup aside and frowned slightly.
“This is the first time we’ve heard of it as well.”
Truly, this news was the first time that even Eunuch Wei had heard of it.
Eunuch Wei pondered slightly and continued, “Nowadays, the current situation was already gradually under control, yet a new change has appeared, in our time, it is truly a world of uncertainty.”
Zhou An downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, “Who says it isn’t, but for the time being, it’s better to exterminate the remnants of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms, as well as that disgusting group of brutes from the Barbarian Kingdom first.”
Eunuch Wei nodded.
After the two exchanged a little more, Zhou An left the place.
He had to go back and continue to go to the Liver Xuan Shadow Kill.
Zhou An felt that the faster the times became, the more he had to hurry up and straighten out his proficiency.
Eunuch Wei didn’t say much either.
This news came at the right time, and he also had to seize the time and hurry to report this information.
After Zhou An left the room, he returned to his own place and began to liver Xuan Shadow Kill.
On Zhou An’s side, he was livering Xuan Shadow Kill.
On the other side, the hiding place of the remnants of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms.
At this moment, a large number of figures in the mist were gathering together, not saying a word.
No one spoke, which in turn made the atmosphere seem a bit gloomy.
Time gradually passed, and the gloomy atmosphere was gradually increasing.
After about half a pillar of incense, among them, the tallest figure finally slowly opened his mouth.
The moment this figure spoke, it immediately caused all the figures to cast their gazes over.
“How many people have already gone out, but not a single bit of news has appeared.”
“If they didn’t die, they shouldn’t be like the Money Monarch, but instead found a place to hide.”
“If that’s the case, it might be a path.”
The many figures looked at each other and seemed to be more in agreement with this statement as well.
Although Zhou An had been fishing very carefully lately, the number of people here was dwindling, and even an individual could see that something was wrong.
So everyone here, too, had already realized it.
They were now gathered here for the purpose of discussing what would happen next.
“You can’t wait.” The other figure cast his eyes over and said in a calm tone, “Does it also want to go out first?”
The tallest figure didn’t chime in, but the meaning was already obvious.
It wasn’t just him, at this moment, all of the figures were looking around with that kind of eager gaze.
They had been trapped here for far too long, far too long, so long that they had forgotten the passage of time and the vicissitudes of the ages.
If it weren’t for the sense of age in their bodies increasing with each passing day, they would probably have forgotten everything about themselves.
Now that there was a chance to go out, no one wanted to let it go.
By going out first, one would be able to first appreciate the changes in the world, as well as the pattern of the world, and would also be able to find opportunities first, which was something that everyone was willing to do.
As soon as these words came out, the figures present seemed to start becoming tit for tat.
There were a few figures who had seen the fishhook with their own eyes, and they saw someone being fished out.
There was only so many fishhooks, and there were many of them here.
If they wanted to go out from here, how long would they have to wait?
Anyway, as of now, those who went out did not encounter any danger.
So when it came to them, they started to fight for the chance to go out instead.
The tallest figure seemed to sense that the situation was getting more and more anxious and becoming contentious, so he clapped his hands vigorously.
The ringing sound echoed through this space, immediately attracting the attention of all the figures.
After all the figures cast their gazes over, the tallest figure slowly spoke.
“Not even going out yet, and already started infighting, everyone is worthy of being the figures that came out of the Hundred Kingdoms Battle back then, but have you guys thought about it, this has long since not been our time, if we are not able to be united, I’m afraid that the ones who will die will only be us.”
When these words were spoken, the people present glanced at each other, all falling into silence.
The tit-for-tat aura on their bodies also disappeared and became calm.
At this time, after finally waiting for everything to calm down, the tallest figure, then made a decision.
“Recently, the ones who have been fished away one after another are all ordinary Ascending Heavenly Realms, but as we all know, the outside world may be far more profound than we imagined, so just those ordinary Ascending Heavenly Realms alone will not be able to make waves inside.”
“This time, I made a choice to let a peak Ascension Realm person go out if the fishhook appears again.”
“I just don’t know who here is willing to go out?”
When those words were spoken, besides this tallest figure, there were fourteen other figures that surrounded the area.
They were hidden in the mists, but with each figure, there was a terrifying aura.
They were all peak Ascension Realm existences, and the topmost people here.
However, when this tallest figure asked this, they fell into silence.
Going out, represented an opportunity, but going out, also represented a threat.
This was something that no one could say for sure.
They were all old monsters who had lived for so many years, who didn’t love their lives?
Regarding this silence, the tallest figure certainly knew exactly why.
He snorted coldly, “As expected, at first, they all said they wanted to go out, but once the truth was involved, they all became fearful in turn, in that case, you will go out.”
The tallest figure then pointed at one of them.
The figure that was pointed at let out a sharp voice, “Why me?”
The tallest figure slowly said, “You are good at hiding, after you go out, if there is any danger, immediately hide and run away, and look for our whereabouts and release us, this is the safest method.”
When these words were spoken, all the figures, all cast their eyes over.
Only this peak Ascension Realm figure that was being watched fell into silence.
