Chapter 858 - 696: Breaking the Deadlock, the Heavenly Demon’s Identity (2)
"He will seek your tracks; perhaps finding them will take some time, but it won’t be long."
As he said this, Liu Changfeng closed his mouth.
Influenced by the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone, Liu Changfeng’s words were indeed the most useful information.
By closing his mouth at this moment, he confirmed he truly didn’t know what follows.
He had already said everything he could.
Qin An fell silent, pondering in his mind.
According to Liu Changfeng, this journey was essentially a plan of "killing three birds with one stone."
But in this plan, the most important part was the last strategy.
Now, the Celestial Demon General Envoy wishes to eliminate him as soon as possible.
Qin An thought for a moment and intended to ask more questions.
As for when the Celestial Demon Envoy would come to eliminate him, such matters could only be dealt with as they arise.
But just as Qin An was about to ask the question, Liu Changfeng’s expression suddenly changed.
He reverted from his wooden state to his original form and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
"No, no, no, I don’t want to die!"
Liu Changfeng desperately tried to struggle, yet the more he struggled, the more intense the pain became.
In this strong and fearsome agony, he wanted to scream, but his voice was faint, stuck in his throat, unable to make a sound.
It is well-known that when in extreme pain, one is often unable to call out.
Qin An guessed that someone from the Heavenly Demon’s side must have made a move.
It was just because of the distance that Liu Changfeng’s reaction had just begun.
However, whether or not they made a move at this point was no longer important, as Qin An had already learned what he wanted to know.
Even if Liu Changfeng were alive, Qin An would personally see him off.
Liu Changfeng dropped to his knees, his body trembling violently like a shaking sieve.
Accompanying this tremor, the flesh and bones on his body suddenly started to change.
The scene before was quite gruesome; in just a few breaths, Liu Changfeng became a pile of flesh on the ground, indistinguishable as human.
"Indeed remarkable." Qin An shook his head and said, "Even I can’t sense where the power came from, yet it was able to kill Liu Changfeng; the Celestial Demon General Envoy is truly extraordinary."
If he could perceive the source of their power, Qin An might have tried to prevent all this.
Although he had gotten the two most important pieces of information from Liu Changfeng, Qin An still wanted to know more.
But now there’s no way to stop it, so he can only let things unfold as they will.
Yang Huan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Master, what do you plan to do next?"
For Yang Huan, the news he just heard was truly shocking, leaving a deep sense of powerlessness.
After all, dealing with one Heavenly Demon was already difficult, and now there were a bunch of them waiting, each ruling over mighty worlds.
Such supreme beings can practically destroy worlds effortlessly.
Qin An shook his head, "For now, there’s no plan, we’ll take it step by step. By the way, can you go from this Forbidden Area to other Forbidden Areas?"
The clues seemed quite astonishing, but on closer inspection, they were still too few when pieced together.
The Celestial Demon General Envoy wants to kill him; now that he’s been sucked into the Forbidden Area, they must have received the news and likely taken action.
Qin An couldn’t stay in the Colorless Forbidden Land; he needed to go to more Forbidden Areas in hopes of finding a solution.
This was the only option he had right now.
As for anything else, Qin An couldn’t think of it, nor could anyone else, probably.
After hearing this, Yang Huan nodded slightly, "At other times, we perhaps couldn’t connect with other Defender Forbidden Areas, but this time, the Celestial Demon General Envoy has opened channels between us, and I can help the Savior reach other Forbidden Areas."
Qin An nodded upon hearing this: "If that’s the case, then tell me how to get to other Forbidden Areas."
He didn’t want to linger here; the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it became.
Now, only by constantly seeking a way out can he ensure survival.
Yang Huan pointed at the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone, "To go to other Forbidden Areas, we need these Forbidden Areas’ treasures to serve as channels. Wait for a moment, I will open the passage."
"But before that, I need to inform Mr. Qin, this process is extremely dangerous."
Qin An nodded without speaking, signaling Yang Huan to proceed.
If even the leader of the Colorless Forbidden Area states it’s extremely dangerous, then this must indeed be very perilous.
Yang Huan paused briefly, organized his thoughts, then continued, "During transmission, there may be channel barriers. After all, each world is different, and when encountering these barriers, Mr. Qin needs to use his strength to break through."
"These barriers are strong, there might be intense reactions during the breakthrough process, I hope Mr. Qin is mentally prepared."
Qin An nodded, "Alright, I understand, let’s begin."
No matter how many dangers lie ahead, this is the only path he can take now.
For him, the only escape now is entering various Forbidden Areas.
He has no choice.
Yang Huan naturally understood Qin An’s intentions, then said no more, and injected a wisp of Void Essence into the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone.
As Void Essence entered the stone, it instantly burst with splendid light.
Immediately, the light continued to shine as an invisible path appeared before Qin An.
This path seemed invisible, yet it could be subtly sensed when perceived closely.
Qin An thought for a moment and said no more, then walked boldly toward the path.
Soon, Qin An’s figure vanished.
Yang Huan waved his sleeve and put away the Five-Colored Exquisite Stone.
He gazed at the spot where Qin An disappeared, his eyes filled with a trace of worry, but more with expectation.
Though worried about Qin An’s ability to get through the barriers, he knew of Qin An’s Savior identity and witnessed his strength, having more confidence in him.
With this in mind, Yang Huan turned around and looked at the Defenders behind him.
"Let’s prepare ourselves. The Heavenly Demon’s arrival is drawing closer; we must exert all effort to enhance our strength to aid the Savior in overcoming this apocalypse."
All Defenders exchanged glances and then unanimously replied, "Yes, sir."
They didn’t think much further and left to find a place where they could slowly recover and heal their wounds.
...
As they were recovering, Qin An stepped into the invisible path and immediately felt a powerful pull.
He found himself entering a chaotic space.
This space seemed filled with endless myriad breaths mixed together yet clearly distinct, like sharply divided streams.
Before he could react, a wealth of information flooded his mind.
He realized he only needed to track the aura of a Forbidden Area, and he could immediately be transmitted to that place’s barrier, then break through the barrier to reach the Forbidden Area.
Simple.
However, the simpler things are, the harder they become.
Qin An thought for a moment and randomly chose a Forbidden Area’s aura.
Then the scenery before Qin An changed again, revealing an egg shell-like barrier.
This barrier exuded a tremendous power, yet through it, the scenery beyond the barrier was visible.
