Chapter 663 - 599: Scholar 22, Great Success in Dominating the Summit
The moment the footsteps sounded, Qin An immediately shifted his gaze toward the direction they came from.
Soon after, he slightly furrowed his brow upon seeing a familiar silhouette.
At the end of the darkness, a graceful figure slowly emerged, approaching him.
Yet, surrounding her was an extremely intense toxicity, making one shudder, like a poisonous flower.
As the figure drew closer, Qin An could see the complex expression in her eyes.
Qin An pondered briefly and said, "Contacting me through dreams again, what exactly has happened?"
Standing before him was the presence he had once encountered at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.
Leng Qing sighed softly, the complex expression in her eyes gradually fading away.
She gazed at Qin An and slowly said, "Meeting you this time came at a cost, but I must see you; it seems something has happened in the Forbidden Area lately."
"What happened?" Qin An asked, "It must be significant for you to come to see me."
Leng Qing was the leader of the Defenders in the large Forbidden Area, holding an extremely prestigious status at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.
For this person to come personally to see Qin An, he felt the matter must be significant.
After asking that question, Qin An then shut his mouth, refraining from continuing, patiently awaiting Leng Qing’s response.
Leng Qing paused briefly before saying, "Those betrayers are up to something significant; through the Celestial Demon Envoy, they’ve breached some barriers between the Forbidden Areas, allowing movement back and forth among several Forbidden Areas."
"Celestial Demon Envoy?"
Qin An was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Once again, he heard the familiar name.
Back when he obtained the Golden Origin, that giant tree had also mentioned this person.
Just by thinking, he knew this person’s identity was far above most betrayers.
"But why would they spend such a huge cost to break the barriers of the Forbidden Area?"
Every Forbidden Area is like a cage; breaking the barriers is not achievable by human effort.
Leng Qing shook her head and said, "The exact reason is unclear to me, but I can confirm they’re doing this to harm you."
Qin An rubbed his chin and said, "If that’s the case, I’m in more danger than before."
Because Qin An is a savior, not a simple role, he felt he faced more threats now, with those betrayers eager to eliminate him.
Leng Qing nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, but I do have some strategies to counter them, though it requires some sacrifice; right now, we’re in a dream, so what I can say is limited; let’s wait a while."
"Wait a while longer, and I’ll enter your dream again to tell you what I’ve prepared; you should visit the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, and we’ll plan together."
As she spoke, Leng Qing’s figure gradually faded away.
Before long, signs of collapse appeared in this dream.
Soon, Qin An awoke from the dream.
...
The next day, as the first ray of sunshine streamed through the window, casting a shadow on the ground, Qin An woke slowly and rose.
He rhythmically tapped the sheath of Cold Star with one hand and placed the other on his knee, contemplating last night’s conversation with Leng Qing.
Qin An found the situation becoming increasingly enigmatic.
Danger was secondary, but the newly appeared Celestial Demon Envoy posed far more of a threat than he had imagined.
The moment they appeared, they caused such a stir, and Qin An was convinced they were targeting him.
After thinking for a long time, Qin An felt a slight change in his heart, the heavy atmosphere diminishing significantly.
He then rose and headed toward the Confidential Library.
Regardless, he needed to first enhance his strength to Great Success in the Tripod Aspiration Realm.
If he could elevate his strength to Great Success in the Tripod Aspiration Realm, complemented by his numerous secret techniques and immense foundation, no one should be able to oppose him in that realm.
With this thought in mind, Qin An closed the door and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
...
Time flew by, and before we knew it, months had passed.
During this time, although there were disturbances in the Celestial Cloud Path, mostly it remained very peaceful.
Whether among those in power or the common folk of Celestial Cloud Path, there was profound sentiment.
Because they had never experienced such a peaceful Celestial Cloud Path.
Those in the know were aware of why this peace had come.
Yet Qin An, who caused the Celestial Cloud Path to quiet down, was living a routine life within the Evil Extermination Bureau.
Those familiar with Qin An knew that this time he stayed in the Evil Extermination Bureau longer than usual, and the longer he stayed, the more eventful things would be once he left.
This led many within the Evil Extermination Bureau to even subtly anticipate, anticipating the moment Qin An would emerge.
Inside the Confidential Library.
Qin An placed the token and Cultivation Technique on the table and said to the Internal Affairs Department Daoist Official, "I’ll exchange for this Heart Method."
The Daoist Official respectfully lowered his head, avoiding looking at Qin An, and respectfully responded, "Your humble servant complies."
Only those in the Evil Extermination Bureau knew how esteemed Qin An’s identity was; a little Internal Affairs Department Daoist Official naturally dared not act arrogantly in front of Qin An.
Before long, the Daoist Official brought a Cultivation Technique.
When he placed the Heart Method on the table, Qin An, not needing to say much more, picked up the Heart Method and walked toward his residence.
Back in his room, Qin An shut the door behind him, and a line of smoke immediately emerged before his eyes.
