Chapter 696 - 615: Celestial Demon Envoy’s Plan (Part 2)
He needs to tend to his injuries, return to peak condition, and calm his mind.
Everyone understood Qin An’s thoughts, and then the Forbidden Land Envoys took out pills and consumed them.
These compound pills were also refined by Qin An, playing a significant role in the previous battle.
Soon, when everyone had mostly recovered, they began to clean up the battlefield.
The battlefield here had long since turned into ruins, devoid of any vitality.
Before long, everyone’s gaze swept over and landed on Qin An.
At this moment, Qin An had already returned to normal, Cold Star was sheathed, and Reincarnation turned into spirituality, deeply hidden within Cold Star.
He no longer rested, then said, "It’s time to go."
The mission was completed, and the crisis here had vanished; it was time to leave, as there were matters he needed to attend to afterward.
This time, he had gained tremendously, and the Origin Power brought Qin An unexpected joy, not only defeating enemies but gaining considerable rewards.
Now, Qin An only lacked the Fire Origin and Water Origin; once he collected them all, he could forge the supreme foundation of the Tripod Aspiration Realm.
Before that, Qin An planned to return to Celestial Cloud Path first and advance the Scholar Profession to the next level, enabling him to enter the Unity Realm at any moment.
Bai Lingfeng nodded and said, "Although there is no mission this time, I will temporarily create one for you, providing you with substantial merit."
The Forbidden Area missions are extremely complex; being in the position of Forbidden Land Golden Envoy, he had such authority.
However, this authority must not be abused, and the review was exceedingly strict.
But he believed that based on today’s battle, even the strictest review could be passed, and he did not violate any rules, nor did he have concerns about other matters.
Qin An nodded slightly.
Subsequently, everyone did not speak much.
The Forbidden Land Envoys martial saluted Qin An in thanks, while Hei Feng once again expressed his admiration.
Qin An responded to each one, avoiding further idle talk.
Afterward, they left this Forbidden Area and departed one after another.
The Forbidden Area fell back into tranquility, as if no battle had ever happened.
Yet, the ruins here vividly hinted at the fierce battle.
...
A tranquil Forbidden Area, littered with black water.
Each drop of black water weighed a thousand pounds, as if capable of crushing everything under the heavens.
Amidst this black water, two figures tread upon the surface.
The Celestial Demon Envoy stood with hands behind his back, expression calm like autumn water, yet fists tightly clenched beneath his long sleeves.
Next to the Celestial Demon Envoy, another figure slightly lowered their head, filled with ceaseless humility, daring not to utter a single word.
After a long time, the Celestial Demon Envoy’s clenched fist slowly relaxed, his tone ice-cold.
"Ever since I pledged allegiance to Lord Celestial Demon, I’ve never suffered such humiliation. He’s good, truly good; he was able to humiliate me like this, and he doesn’t fear me. I am furious."
The silhouette quickly lowered their head, a trace of panic on their face: "Envoy sir, please do not be angry; he is merely an ant-like existence. Though Black Demon failed, it does not mean we will fail forever; eventually, we will find a chance to ensure he dies without a grave."
The Celestial Demon Envoy sneered: "You sure know how to talk. I asked you to investigate; what did you find out? What are those Defenders up to?"
Upon deciding to kill Qin An, he felt a very strong sense of unease.
Lately, he’s been mingling among various traitors, the purpose simple: understanding the intentions of the Defenders through these traitor Forbidden Areas.
While passing through this Forbidden Area, he voiced his inquiries.
Initially harboring little expectation, as soon as his words fell, the person before him suddenly raised their head and spoke.
"Reporting, Envoy Master, after a period of investigation, having paid a great price, we finally acquired some results."
The Celestial Demon Envoy showed slight surprise: "Oh? Acquired some results? Well then, tell me now what the results are. If it’s substantial news, I will certainly credit you accordingly."
The silhouette quickly cupped fists: "According to our knowledge, those Defenders seem to be assembling something. That item presents a devastating threat to our traitor Forbidden Land; additionally, they intend for Qin An to use that item."
The Celestial Demon Envoy furrowed his brows: "Any other news?"
The silhouette shook their head slightly: "No more news, we’ve exhausted our efforts, yet only uncovered this much. After all, those Defenders are extremely cunning, even we cannot probe further."
The Celestial Demon Envoy fell into silence.
The silhouette stood respectfully beside him, patiently waiting.
He understood the Celestial Demon Envoy’s temperament, comprehending that he cannot be disturbed during contemplation, else he’d face exceedingly harsh punishment.
Time slipped away rapidly, moments passed in an instant.
The Celestial Demon Envoy raised his head at last, sneering: "Very well, I understand. I have arrangements for this matter."
The silhouette hesitated slightly but still spoke: "Master, how have you arranged it?"
Considering his words audacious, yet had to ask.
For them, killing Qin An was undoubtedly vital, yet confronting those Defenders was equally significant; neglecting a major matter for a minor one cannot occur.
The Celestial Demon Envoy laughed: "I recall you have the Water Origin here?"
The silhouette paused momentarily, then nodded: "Yes, sir, I indeed have the Water Origin here."
The Celestial Demon Envoy raised his right hand, from his palm emitted scorching light.
The light converged swiftly into a fireball, akin to a blazing sun.
Seeing this scene, the silhouette’s eyes flashed with astonishment: "Is that the Fire Origin? Has sir ventured into that Forbidden Area to seize it?"
The silhouette was not surprised that the Celestial Demon Envoy possessed the Fire Origin.
The Fire Origin had always been hidden within a particular Forbidden Area; given the Celestial Demon Envoy’s noble status, acquiring it was practically effortless.
The Celestial Demon Envoy nodded slightly, storing the Fire Origin, then said: "Where is your Water Origin?"
The silhouette hesitated for a moment, raising a hand to point at the black water upfront.
The water surface immediately formed a vortex, amidst the terrifying tearing force, a crystalline water orb leapt from the depths, hovering steadily mid-air.
"Reporting sir, this is the Water Origin." The silhouette bowed, "Please accept it, Envoy sir."
They were unaware of the Celestial Demon Envoy’s purpose in acquiring two Origins, but knew he certainly has a plan beyond their comprehension.
The Celestial Demon Envoy wasted no time, waved his sleeve towards the Water Origin.
The Water Origin immediately dashed into his sleeve, its massive aura seemingly never appearing.
After completing this, the Celestial Demon Envoy gazed at the dark and somber sky, immobile like a statue.
Standing beside him, silhouette dared not utter a word.
Only after a stick of incense time passed did the Celestial Demon Envoy regain awareness.
"This task is entrusted to you; it’s vitally important, I don’t wish for you to fail, for if so, I will face great difficulty," the Celestial Demon Envoy expressed.
"Yes, sir! Regardless of how difficult the task, we will surely complete it; rest assured entrusting us, after all, we are not like the waste that is Black Demon," the silhouette promptly responded.
The Celestial Demon Envoy waved his hand casually, immediately afterward, the powers of Water and Fire Origins floated ahead.
Pointing at these two Origins, his tone icy: "I need you to exhaust all means, hand these two Origins to Qin An."
Upon hearing this, the silhouette froze utterly, his face full of disbelief.
"Didn’t Qin An recently acquire three Origins? If adding these two, wouldn’t he collect all five, forging the supreme foundation of the Tripod Aspiration Realm?"
He was perplexed, unable to fathom why the Celestial Demon Envoy would make such a decision.
After all, to him, it seemed like aiding the enemy.
Yet after the words fell, the Celestial Demon Envoy’s visage widened in a cold smile.
"Once he gathers all five Origins, forging an ultimate foundation, the moment he enters the Unity Realm, they will perish without a grave."
