Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 526 - 515: Entering the Gale

The room was initially very quiet, and the atmosphere was quite heavy, so much so that even the slight breeze couldn’t bring any sense of coolness.

It even made one feel a chill that seeped through the entire body.

After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, the Alliance Hierarch’s hand, which was holding a cup of tea, suddenly shook, causing the teacup to fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

He abruptly looked up, slapped his hand on the table, and stood up, saying, "Pill Master, your approach is unacceptable; it violates the iron laws of the Evil Extermination Bureau."

"If the Evil Extermination Bureau finds out that we made a move against a Tong Daoshuai, no matter how low his status is, we will face extermination by the Evil Extermination Bureau, and the Alchemy Master Alliance will be left with nothing."

Saying this, the Alliance Hierarch looked at Zhang Tianyi with eyes filled with an inscrutable feeling.

He felt that Zhang Tianyi was too reckless, so much so that he couldn’t understand it.

No matter how troublesome Qin An was, one couldn’t harbor the thought of killing him, or else, judging by the temperament of the Evil Extermination Bureau, even if the Alchemy Master Alliance is a top influence in Tianyun Dao, it will be annihilated.

The Alliance Hierarch knew very well that the reason lay in a particular taboo involved here.

If a demonic creature or Pseudo-God killed a Tong Daoshuai, it would just be a mutual exchange.

But if a human force did this, it would be considered betrayal to the Evil Extermination Bureau.

After hearing the words of the Alliance Hierarch, Zhang Tianyi’s fingertips tapped on the table lightly, then he waved his sleeve coldly, "So tell me, what should we do now?"

The Alliance Hierarch was choked by this question.

After thinking for a long time, he remained silent.

He had no options; if there were, he would have used them already.

The only plan had been broken by the Dragon Palace.

And now those alchemy influences are opposing the Alchemy Master Alliance one after another.

No matter how large the power of the Alchemy Master Alliance, it couldn’t manage so many alchemy influences.

Zhang Tianyi, seeing the Alliance Hierarch at a loss for words, patted the table, producing a series of knocking sounds, "I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want to offend the Evil Extermination Bureau. You want to use those weak plans to deal with Qin An, but that won’t work."

"What we need is a permanent solution; otherwise, given the current situation, the Alchemy Master Alliance won’t even be able to earn resources and will face continuous losses. How long can you sustain that?"

"You are supporting so many people. If there comes a time without a source of benefits for them, and they can’t get any benefits, they will all leave you, and the Alchemy Master Alliance will just be an empty framework, and you would be an empty framework as an Alliance Hierarch!"

Every sentence was like a knife, stabbing directly into the heart of the Alliance Hierarch.

The Alliance Hierarch thought for a long time, then with a somewhat dejected look sat slumped in his chair, placing his hand on the table next to the chair, clutching the edge of the tabletop, scratching marks on it.

The conflict in his eyes grew more intense.

Zhang Tianyi remained silent, picked up the teacup nearby, took a sip, appearing quite refreshed.

The Alliance Hierarch was currently in a dilemma, but from his perspective, this was utterly unnecessary.

He also knew the final choice of the Alliance Hierarch.

So he looked very confident.

After a long time, the Alliance Hierarch finally released his grip on the edge of the table. He seemed to have lost all strength, leaning back against the table’s edge, saying.

"Then, in your view, how do you plan to kill Qin An?"

At this moment, the Alliance Hierarch came to terms with it.

Even if he couldn’t, someone would make him understand, that someone being Dan Wang Zhang Tianyi.

If this situation is left unchecked, what awaits the Alchemy Master Alliance is complete disintegration.

He, the once recognized leader, second only to one, above thousands, would also be completely reduced to an empty title.

At that time, those demonic creatures and Pseudo-Gods he offended would all come for revenge, and he would end up with nothing left of his bones.

Zhang Tianyi laughed softly, "I have an acquaintance in the Evil Extermination Bureau, and that guy told me that they will soon head to the Gale Mountain Range to obtain the Heart of the Gale Wind inside, and Qin An will be there too. If Qin An accidentally dies in the mountain range, it can at most be considered an accident during the mission."

"I think by then, no one will know of Qin An’s death being related to us."

"The Gale Mountain Range, it’s a medium-sized Forbidden Area, full of dangers." The Alliance Hierarch’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "If Qin An indeed can be killed in the Gale Mountain Range, then surely the Alchemy Master Alliance won’t be suspected. But how do we do that?"

He knew it was a golden opportunity, but how to seize it?

Not to mention anything else, their people were simply not skilled in combat.

Entering the Gale Mountain Range is incredibly difficult.

Even if they could enter, how could they kill a Tong Daoshuai of the Evil Extermination Bureau?

After all, during that time, there would be many people from the Evil Extermination Bureau, including Silver Dao Marshals; attempting to kill Qin An in the presence of Silver Dao Marshals and numerous Tong Daoshuai is basically empty talk.

"We certainly can’t make a move." Zhang Tianyi waved his sleeve, then sat up slightly, "Think carefully, if our people act, the Evil Extermination Bureau’s ability to trace clues can easily lead them back to us, and our plan would be in vain. So we need someone to help."

The Alliance Hierarch showed a look of realization, "Are you saying we should have someone from the Evil Extermination Bureau help kill Qin An? That doesn’t seem realistic."

"Of course not realistic." Zhang Tianyi looked at the Alliance Hierarch with disdain, "I don’t know how you manage to be the Alliance Hierarch; you don’t use your brain at all. Asking people from the Evil Extermination Bureau to kill one of their own, isn’t it making ourselves even more vulnerable."

"If you dared say that, and if one of the guys from the Evil Extermination Bureau got a sudden impulse to report us all, forget about killing Qin An, we’d have to pack up and leave right now."

The Alliance Hierarch’s face turned red, and anger brewed in his heart.

He felt this old coot had no respect for him, and even dared to scold him here.

However, he needed this old coot to resolve the current situation.

So he forcibly suppressed his anger, even lowering his stance.

"Then who should we find to help?"

"It’s obviously the demonic creatures inside."

Zhang Tianyi’s eyes grew more disdainful, "Think carefully, if a demonic creature or Pseudo-God kills Qin An, at most, it would be considered a loss during the mission, unrelated to us. I happen to know a demonic power, they are wind-attribute creatures called Qing Xuan Birds."

"And the Qing Xuan Birds also happen to be entering the Gale Mountain Range. By then, we only need to pay a small price to kill Qin An."

At this point, Zhang Tianyi took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to the Alliance Hierarch.

After a slight pause, he continued speaking.

"Take a look, this is the request from the Qing Xuan Bird clan."

Zhang Tianyi took out a list.

Upon seeing it, the Alliance Hierarch revealed a shocked expression: "This list contains far too many items."

The list was densely packed with names of a myriad of pills.

All of these items together form a terrifying amount of resources.

"Better to endure short pain than prolonged agony," Zhang Tianyi shook his head and said, "Besides, I’ve already discussed with the Qing Xuan Bird clan. If they succeed in killing Qin An and then come to us, we’ll give them these pills; otherwise, these pills won’t be given away. It’s a very profitable deal."

"Today’s losses will be doubled in future gains."

The Alliance Hierarch fell silent.

Zhang Tianyi suddenly became somewhat exasperated, slammed the table forcefully, producing a loud clatter: "Indecisiveness will ruin great plans. If you are like this, I won’t cooperate with your Alchemy Master Alliance anymore, I might as well start an Alchemy Influence, much better than yours."

"Will you do it or not, I’m giving you three breaths’ time for a straightforward answer."

The indecision in the Alliance Hierarch’s eyes gradually disappeared following Zhang Tianyi’s words.

He seemed to lose all his strength, slumped in his chair, gazing at the ceiling weakly.

"Let everything proceed according to the Pill King’s plan. I will find a way to gather these materials. As long as we can kill Qin An, none of this matters."

Zhang Tianyi’s lips slightly curved up, and he said lightly, "Alright, then let us hope for success!"

The room fell silent, so quiet a pin could be heard dropping.

...

Time passed, in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

Over these days, Qin An didn’t go anywhere else, instead focusing entirely on training his proficiency as an Array Master in his room.

The proficiency of the Array Master leveled up slightly.

However, it hasn’t successfully reached level seventeen yet.

Qin An estimated it would take a somewhat longer time to reach level seventeen.

Today, Qin An did not continue to train proficiency because the task was imminent.

After a simple wash-up, he first went outside for breakfast, then headed towards Zhu Xueshuang’s courtyard.

At this moment, in Zhu Xueshuang’s courtyard, a large number of Tong Daoshuai had already gathered.

Each of them looked extremely serious, all eyes fixed on Zhu Xueshuang ahead.

Once Qin An and the remaining Tong Daoshuai arrived, Zhu Xueshuang said icily.

"Set off."

No unnecessary words, not even an opening remark.

This is the style of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Meanwhile, not only Zhu Xueshuang but also several Silver Dao Marshals led their Tong Daoshuai, leaving the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Their direction of departure was all towards the Gale Mountain range.

...

The Gale Mountain range, one of the Forbidden Areas of the Tianyun Dao, and a medium-sized one at that, is rarely visited.

That’s because the Forbidden Area is enveloped by gale winds year-round, and those winds can blow away human flesh and marrow, making it impossible even for cultivators to take a single step within.

However, at this moment, the Gale Mountain range was not as deserted as usual, with numerous figures gathering.

Zhu Xueshuang led many Tong Daoshuai to one of the entrances of the mountain range.

Not far from them were three male Silver Dao Marshals.

This time, four Silver Dao Marshals were mobilized, and their subordinate Tong Daoshuai were even more numerous.

One could say it was an extremely magnificent team.

However, including Zhu Xueshuang, these four Silver Dao Marshals didn’t communicate at all.

They each occupied a region, attending to their own tasks.

This time, they were here to find the Heart of Gale Wind, so they had already communicated before now.

Now, they wouldn’t waste time with other nonsense.

Qin An looked at the endless mountains, feeling the sound of the whistling wind inside, his eyes slightly heavy.

Before coming here, he had already prepared accordingly and knew some special conditions of the Gale Mountain range.

After entering, the first thing to guard against is not the various dangers within the Gale Mountain range, but the fierce gale winds.

Every hour, the gale wind will kick up, capable of scraping human bone marrow.

And the only way to deal with it is through protective techniques.

If one can withstand for an incense stick’s time, the gale will diminish.

As for other dangers, they arise from various entities within the Gale Mountain range.

These need to be dealt with upon encounter.

This time, entering the Gale Mountain range, not only people from the Evil Extermination Bureau but also human forces and demon creature Pseudo-God Power.

As for when they will appear or enter, these are uncertain factors.

Seeing the crowd silently coping, Zhu Xueshuang then raised her hand and waved.

A map floated out of her sleeve, hovering in mid-air, making it visible to everyone.

As everyone’s gaze fixed on the map before them, Zhu Xueshuang’s voice slowly echoed...
