I Am Your Natural Enemy

Some are puzzled, you found that kind of space that can exist for long, yet you’re talking about it here?

And others hadn’t received any advance information.

The uncle who spoke presented an image, depicting a not entirely round gold coin.

"We speculate that it might be related to this kind of gold coin.

This gold coin is likely cursed; all holders who enter the ocean’s range eventually drown at sea.

But about this gold coin, we can also deduce, it is a key to a certain space.

Related to those giant beasts, according to the data we have, it might also be connected to the Tree of Immortality."

This statement caused a stir among the crowd.

Wen Yan glanced at Yan Zhikong beside him, who seemed to be in a state of meditation, but also lifted his eyelids, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yan young man, have you heard of it?"

"I’ve heard, the most widely spread are five related legends.

The Immortal Nation, Immortal Grass, Immortality Elixir, Tree of Immortality, Fountain of Youth.

The Tree of Immortality and the Fountain of Youth are the most widely spread outside the Divine Land, but it’s uncertain if they are the same thing.

They are also the most believed in."

"Do you believe it?" Wen Yan casually asked.

"I don’t believe it, do you?"

"I do think there might be some truth in what he said.

I also feel there might indeed be related things.

But I don’t believe what this person said, he’s too deliberate.

Almost as if saying outright that he discovered something, has actual evidence, but has no capability to continue exploring, needing others to fill the gap, only pulling out a gimmick to attract people."

Yan Zhikong chuckled softly, Wen Yan’s words were indeed a bit too straightforward.

Wen Yan also smiled, he only believed in that gold coin because he already had three in his hand.

As for the rest, he didn’t believe even a punctuation mark.

The speaker believed he himself understood that almost no one would fully believe.

Even those who believed a part would be very few.

But this gimmick was simply too enticing.

Especially under the circumstances of the pawnbroker being overturned and the shortage of Gold Foil Chocolate thereafter.

Surely there will be many people needing other solutions and paths.

Those in need, having money and resources, might not know where Gold Foil Chocolate came from but mostly had bought it.

Thinking this way, the guy speaking up now really knows how to seize the moment, who knows who’s behind him though.

Their sense of smell is truly sharp and really bold.

At such a time, speaking of such topics.

Until now, Wen Yan started to think this otherwise meaningless meeting appeared to have some interest.

Wen Yan continued to listen, waiting until the afternoon meeting ended when he saw several people leaving with that uncle, likely to discuss something privately.

He also sensed that a few people were watching him here, not waiting for others to act, Ji Shanyue appeared like a ghost in front of Wen Yan, inviting Wen Yan and Yan Zhikong to dine together.

To refuse such a thing would be too disrespectful.

Dining together at the hotel, Ji Shanyue used nearly the same phrasing to invite Yan Zhikong, which Yan Zhikong refused due to the inconvenience of sharing his knowledge, and what he could share he simply wouldn’t.

Ji Shanyue wasn’t embarrassed, starting to consult Wen Yan on how to handle those remains from the Nanyang Union.

Hearing this, Wen Yan thought to himself, this guy isn’t consulting Yan Zhikong the Taoist Master, why consult him, a Martial Artist?

So it was known that he had some relation to the previous Lost Souls?

Wen Yan hesitated, but still told the truth, giving a proper suggestion.

"Handle it normally, just don’t deal with it carelessly."

Ji Shanyue nodded in appreciation, saying he’d personally visit the site later to ensure no issues arise.

These words made Wen Yan feel that it wasn’t just superficial talk but seemed specifically directed at him.

At night, Wen Yan rested at the hotel; there was another meeting tomorrow.

On the other side, Ji Shanyue returned to the Oceanic Administration Department in the capital and met his Minister.

"Did you discuss anything?"

"No, all were politely declined."

"What about other matters?"

"That Taoist from Mount Laojun doesn’t seem related to the previous events, his actions were too straightforward and harsh.

Based on his style and what I learned about Mount Laojun, it shouldn’t be him.

However, that Martial Artist from Fuyu Mountain might indeed be related to previous events.

But perhaps only at the beginning, afterward, it’s unlikely he could control it.

I consulted over a dozen experts from various places, including those from Europa and the Divine Land.

Their opinions were generally consistent, all believing that the excessive number of Lost Souls, and numerous victims had triggered a qualitative change, birthing a Monarch.

And those Lost Souls had been taken by that Monarch of the Dead Souls.

With the experiences and grievances of those Lost Souls, there was bound to be great resentment towards the living.

Besides that Monarch, no one else could control them."

Ji Shanyue spoke of the results of his investigation and consultations.

The Minister of the Oceanic Administration Department nodded.

"What about the other matter?"

"Currently, many are interested, but due to recent circumstances, it’s unlikely there will soon be any strong forces coming."

The Minister sighed, looking weary.

"Our voice and power are still too weak, fundamentally unable to resolve troubles.

Every time attending meetings, it’s endless arguing over interests and rights.

Do they not understand if the number of exotic and giant beasts appearing in the sea increases.
