At this moment, Clan Leader Ye is having a conversation with Liu Xuanming, both with a hint of seriousness on their faces.

However, as the two of them exchanged the last sentence, Qin An sensed a bit of anomaly.

He was listening, but for an unknown reason, a sense of bewilderment suddenly arose in his mind.

Simultaneously, Qin An felt a special force as if something was summoning him, directing him to gaze at a certain spot.

It was a vast sky covered by golden sunlight, seemingly devoid of any abnormality.

Yet, Qin An could feel that it seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

Despite temporarily ignoring the exchange between Clan Leader Ye and Liu Xuanming, he meticulously stared at the edge of the sky.

Through the golden barrier, Qin An noticed a bit of anomaly.

At the end of the sky, a wisp of toxic gas seemed to be breeding.

This wisp of toxic gas was faint, and wouldn’t be detected unless one carefully sensed it.

Qin An closed his eyes, and the mystical sensation grew stronger.

At the same time, he heard a stable female voice.

This voice was full of mature charm, making anyone who heard it feel comfortable all over.

"I will help you break the barrier here, but you must pay a price. You need not speak, just contemplate in your mind."

Qin An instantly awoke, coupled with the toxic gas in the sky, he felt something was amiss.

Thinking along these lines, Qin An silently mused to himself.

"Who exactly are you?"

The female voice came again: "We’ve met three times, twice in dreams, and once in that forbidden area; we can be considered old acquaintances."

Met three times, twice in dreams?

Upon hearing those words, Qin An immediately knew who it was.

Wasn’t it the terrifying shadow encountered at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak?

But why would the shadow find him at this moment?

With this thought, Qin An asked again.

"How did you find me?"

The mature female voice quickly replied.

"You are in a small forbidden area, and I’m located at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, a large forbidden area. Naturally, clues can lead to finding you. Originally, I planned to enter your dream again to find you, but unexpectedly, it saved a lot of trouble." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Qin An frowned and asked: "You said you could help us break through, what is the price you require from me?"

Earlier, the female voice mentioned she could help them solve this crisis, but required him to pay a price.

He was curious about what price he would have to pay.

The ethereal female voice spoke again: "You just need to leave this forbidden area, and after you reach the next level, come find me at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak. I will then reveal the truth of this world and the answers you seek most."

Qin An frowned and asked: "What is the truth of this world?"

The female voice, seemingly distant, conveyed again: "This matter cannot be clearly explained in a short time, but you’ll understand upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak. Of course, you could disregard this promise and not come to see me, but I believe you will greatly regret it."

Qin An fell silent, and shortly after, asked inwardly: "How can I break through the current situation?"

The female voice returned: "Breaking through is simple, just ingest the toxic gas within you. Rest assured, this toxic gas is bearable for you; you specialize as a healer, so you’ll surely see that."

Qin An looked up at the faint toxic gas in the sky.

As an eighteenth-level healer, he could easily discern this toxic gas was indeed not intense.

It seemed more like a medium, allowing the owner of this voice to use it to help him break through the current crisis.

Qin An pondered briefly and nodded: "Alright, you can."

He was already at a dead end; without this method, he might not be able to break through the golden barrier.

If he couldn’t break through, it would mean death, and he’d rather attempt it.

Moreover, he still had the Life Substitution Needle; even if the other party had other strategies, he could use it to escape.

The ethereal female voice slowly replied: "Good, since that’s the case, open your mind and let me assist you in eradicating all these betrayers."

Betrayers?

Qin An heard an unfamiliar term and instinctively asked: "What are betrayers?"

The female voice did not answer, instead guiding the toxic gas at an unimaginable speed through the golden barrier and towards Qin An.

Seeing this, Qin An understood that perhaps all the answers could only be acquired by visiting the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

"There’s no rush now, solve the current crisis first."

With this thought, Qin An opened his mind, silently allowing the toxic gas to invade his body.

But the Void Essence in his body circulated, compressing the toxic gas into a corner, ready to be expelled anytime.

Meanwhile, Clan Leader Ye continued his conversation with Liu Xuanming.

Their discussion went on for quite some time without reaching a conclusion.

Even Guan Dahai and the Forbidden Land Envoys joined the discourse.

Those Demon Pseudo-Gods did the same.

But no matter how they planned to go all out, facing such absolute pressure, they felt overwhelmed.

The more they talked, the more they felt a desperate pressure engulfing them, as if they could turn to mere bones under despair at any moment.

It was at that moment that Qin An suddenly spoke.

"I have a way to break through."

With these words, whether Liu Xuanming and others, Clan Leader Ye, or the Leopard Demon Clan Leader, all turned their attention to him.
