Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 512 - 501: Visitors from the Seven-Colored Fish Sect

Chapter 512: Chapter 501: Visitors from the Seven-Colored Fish Sect

At this moment, within the battlefield, the ground was strewn with blood, and dark red stains were visible everywhere.

The corpses of the Fox Demons were also spread out here, filling the air with a nauseating stench.

The Tong Daoshuai present were accustomed to various forms of slaughter, so they were quite used to such an atmosphere.

Compared to these terrifying battlefields, the attention of the numerous Tong Daoshuai was actually more focused on Qin An.

As the battle was about to conclude, they had all come to realize Qin An’s formidable power and how he single-handedly held back Hu Yan’Er.

Therefore, a hint of fear was present in the eyes of many Tong Daoshuai as they looked at Qin An.

Actually, this hint of fear was more akin to reverence.

After all, there are countless strong individuals in this world, while the weak always admire the strong.

Hence, when Qin An’s gaze passed over Zheng Rou and looked behind her, the present Tong Daoshuai instinctively shifted their sights to where Qin An was looking.

Subsequently, they found that Qin An’s gaze was focused on the bundles carried by a group of Fox Demons.

A robust Tong Daoshuai, seeing this scene, showed a look of confusion on his face.

Just as he was about to ask Qin An for the reason, he saw Qin An under the watchful eyes of everyone, walking toward those large bundles.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Qin An began to open the bundles one by one, revealing what was inside.

Once the contents were revealed, all the Tong Daoshuai present showed looks of astonishment.

Inside the bundles were weapons, alchemy pills, treasures of all kinds, gold and silver items, and numerous demon souls, all sorted and packed neatly.

Zheng Rou, seeing this situation, quietly said, "These should be the treasures placed in the auction pavilion by various shops, perhaps intended for the next auction. But since Hu Yan’Er knew her time was up, she brought these treasures intending to flee the auction pavilion."

"Maybe she wanted to take them to the Fox Race to gain their protection and rewards."

With this explanation, the numerous Tong Daoshuai understood clearly as well.

However, they didn’t understand Qin An’s purpose in doing this.

Qin An wandered among these treasures, picking the demon souls from each bundle.

There were a total of twenty demon souls.

After wrapping the twenty demon souls in cloth, he finally looked at the numerous Tong Daoshuai and said calmly.

"What are you waiting for? Let’s divide these things up."

Upon hearing this, both Zheng Rou and the other Tong Daoshuai were left standing in stunned silence.

Zheng Rou stammered, "This... this doesn’t seem to be in line with the rules."

There was a clear distinction between the Tong Daoshuai and the patrol commanders.

When patrol commanders completed missions, it was usually within the sites of Ancient Battlefields, and the items they acquired did not need to be handed over, as they were considered personal belongings.

But it was different for these Tong Daoshuai.

When they executed tasks, perhaps they could collect the demon souls of the demons they killed, but to divide up such treasures as Qin An suggested would indeed violate the unwritten rules of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Seeing the hesitation among the crowd and hearing Zheng Rou’s words, Qin An didn’t answer but shifted his gaze to the end of this secret path.

"I imagine Hu Yan’Er left in a hurry, and there must be more valuable items that weren’t taken. These things were earned with everyone’s efforts, and it doesn’t hurt to divide them evenly. Unwritten rules are not laid bare; if you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, then who would know?"

With these words, the scene fell silent,

and a few Tong Daoshuai showed a look of interest, somewhat swayed by Qin An’s suggestion.

They risked their lives indeed to safeguard the lives of the people of Tianyun Road and the prosperity of the entire Tianyun Road.

But there was another point; that was to exchange their life-risking feats for more resources, to enhance their own strength.

Now, the items before them were resources.

Even though Qin An took all the demon souls, the other valuables represented significant benefits to them as well.

Just as Qin An said, as long as no one speaks of this, these things would be theirs.

Zheng Rou attempted to stutter out another protest, but a single glance from Qin An silenced her, pressing her to lower her head quickly without uttering another word.

Qin An then retracted his gaze and said, "Everyone, if we continue to wait like this, it’s uncertain when there will be another chance to get so many good things like this again."

With these words, the present Tong Daoshuai swallowed hard, and soon one after another stepped forward, agreeing with Qin An’s viewpoint.

When one person steps out, a chain reaction occurs, and within a few breaths, all the Tong Daoshuai in that space agreed to Qin An’s proposal.

The corners of Qin An’s mouth lifted slightly, and then he led the way towards the auction pavilion.

As for these items, the Tong Daoshuai behind would naturally divide them up; it wasn’t something he needed to worry about.

Qin An proposed this suggestion after careful consideration.

Such black market items could never see the light.

Many items were cleansed through the black market, and with most black market shops wiped out this time, it was considered the most successful cleansing.

There were many items here, and Qin An felt that if he didn’t take some, it would be a pity.

In these times, everything emphasizes competition.

Morals are important, and principles are important too.

Qin An felt that taking these things did not violate his principles.

If you don’t compete, and one day you’re dead, having nothing, that would be the biggest regret.

Soon, everyone returned to the auction pavilion and searched it meticulously,

taking away the relatively precious items, whereas items not deemed precious were left in their original place to report to the Evil Extermination Bureau as found items.

When everything was finished, they stood silently in front of Qin An.

Previously, they followed Qin An because he initiated the plan.

Now they still took Qin An as the leader, for his strength had deeply impressed them.

Qin An was sitting on a deck chair at this moment, eyes closed and deep in thought.

Upon sensing everyone returning, he slightly opened his eyes and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter has been resolved, so there’s no need to remain here. Today, everyone has benefited, so I hope you won’t spread this around. After all, if the Evil Extermination Bureau finds out how we handled things, even if they won’t impose severe punishment, it wouldn’t look good."

All the Tong Daoshuai present nodded in agreement.

Qin An turned his gaze to Zheng Rou and said, "Zheng Rou, could you help me with something later?"

Zheng Rou was startled for a moment, then nodded and asked, "What kind of help?"

"I don’t want to write the report, so could you do it for me? Just write according to the facts, and omit parts where necessary, like the distribution of these items," he replied.

Zheng Rou showed an understanding look and agreed.

Qin An didn’t say more and walked out toward the auction pavilion.

Many Tong Daoshuai exchanged glances and followed Qin An, leaving the Black Market and heading toward the Evil Extermination Bureau.

The Black Market returned to its usual tranquility once again.

But this time, the involvement of the Evil Extermination Bureau caused quite a stir in the Black Market.

Stores that didn’t overstep remained intact, but seeing neighboring shops reduced to rubble with everyone inside dead, a chill ran through them.

They were thankful for not being driven by greed to violate the Bureau’s rules, otherwise, they might also have ended up as corpses on the ground today.

Many in the Black Market silently cleaned up some bloodstains.

At this moment, a special guest arrived at the Black Market.

A tall and slender man, draped in a pitch-black cloak, had just stepped into the market when he was struck dumb by the scene before him.

A shop owner happened to walk past him at this moment.

The man cloaked in black immediately grabbed the shop owner and asked, "What happened here?"

The shop owner, caught by his arm, instinctively glanced at him and then froze slightly.

Through scattered light, the shop owner could see layers of fine scales on the face of the tall slender man.

If one didn’t look closely, it might not be noticeable.

"Are you a creature from the water?" the shop owner asked instinctively.

The tall slender man didn’t hide it and nodded, "Indeed. I don’t know what happened here. Can you tell me about it?"

Saying this, he took some items from his pocket and placed them in the shop owner’s hand.

The shop owner looked at the items in his palm in surprise, then quietly pocketed them and explained the events comprehensively.

The tall slender man remained in a daze.

After the shop owner quietly left, he finally came to his senses.

"Why are there always such disturbances lately?" The man thought to himself, "The Sect Leader sent me from the Rainbow Fish Sect specifically to gather resources from this Black Market, but now it’s been cleansed by the Evil Extermination Bureau, it’s going to be difficult to recover."

"I can’t go back like this. If the Sect Leader finds out, I’ll definitely be punished. I need to think of a way to sweep this under the rug."

The tall slender man paced around, suddenly remembering something: "Wasn’t the Carp Demon killed by someone? I should investigate who did it. If I can take down this person and return with his head, at least I can cover up the issues at the Black Market. Not seeking merit but avoiding fault."

Thinking this, the tall slender man didn’t hesitate any longer. His figure flashed, leaving the Black Market, heading toward the nearest water body.

...

Not far from the Black Market, there was a rushing river.

When the tall slender man arrived at the riverbank, he gently stomped his foot.

The once surging seawater suddenly slowed down its flow.

Soon after, a carp emerged from the water.

The carp emitted a faint trace of Evil Qi, and upon emerging, it transformed into a creature covered entirely with fish scales, prostrating itself before the tall slender man.

"This humble creature greets Lord Yu."

Yu Jiu nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Today, I have a task for you. In the Rainbow Fish Sect, a Carp Demon under our command has been killed. Find out who did it."

The Rainbow Fish Sect’s base in Sky Cloud Dao is deep under the sea, but that doesn’t mean these rivers lack their influence.

In fact, most sea creatures have land-dwelling water creatures as affiliates.

Therefore, what Yu Jiu thought was to first approach the nearest river and ask the creatures there to help find clues.

The Carp Demon hurriedly nodded in agreement, "This humble creature will certainly find the murderer of the Carp Demon for Lord Yu."

Yu Jiu nodded and said, "Find me a place to stay, and also deliver my orders to all affiliate water demons in the Rainbow Fish Sect, letting them help find out who the murderer is. I need this information as quickly as possible."

Having heard this, the Carp Demon promptly said, "I have a place at the riverbed where I stay. If Lord Yu doesn’t mind, please follow me into the river."

Yu Jiu said no more, transforming into a fierce carp and leaping onto the water surface, disappearing swiftly.

...

Back at the Evil Extermination Bureau, it was already dusk.

Qin An didn’t continue practicing proficiency, but retired early for sleep.

It wasn’t until the next day arrived that he habitually went to the medical hall, resuming his usual routine.

His days consisted of traveling back and forth between the medical hall and the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month silently slipped by.

Today, when Qin An returned to the Evil Extermination Bureau, instead of heading to his residence, he made his way to the Bureau’s Confidential Library.

As for why he didn’t go to his residence to rest, it was because through this period of dull and tasteless practice, his medical profession finally reached level seventeen.

On his way to the Confidential Library, Qin An walked while staring at the void ahead.

Before him, mist shifted, then coalesced into lines of text in the void.
