Chapter 630: Chapter 582: Deduction, Mission_2

He thought for a moment, then got up and headed toward the Evil Extermination Bureau, no longer going to the clinic to cultivate his professional proficiency.

Upon arriving at the room of the Evil Extermination Bureau, Qin An slowly closed the door, then took out the Forbidden Land Envoy’s badge.

The badge kept vibrating, and as long as Qin An hadn’t viewed the contents inside, the vibration would persist.

Qin An paused briefly, then plunged his consciousness into the badge of the Forbidden Land Envoy.

When his consciousness entered, a light visible only to him appeared, condensing into words right before his eyes.

[Mission: There’s been an anomaly recently in the Reincarnation Forbidden Area, where two powerful forces within the forbidden area and natives have engaged in fierce battles, causing mutual damage among the three parties, and it continues.]

[The Reincarnation Forbidden Area seems to be brewing a massive conspiracy. All Forbidden Land Envoys who receive the mission should set aside other tasks and head to the Reincarnation Forbidden Area full force.]

The mission description was simple: those assigned the mission were to head to the Reincarnation Forbidden Area, followed by relevant information about the area.

Qin An read carefully, then dispelled the smoke before his eyes.

His action of dispersing it signaled that he had accepted the mission.

He thoroughly understood the information about the Reincarnation Forbidden Area.

As one of the large forbidden lands of the Celestial Cloud Path, it is filled with waves of the Power of Reincarnation.

The so-called Power of Reincarnation involves transformations—death to rebirth, youth becoming old, or age reverting to youth.

Anyone entering this forbidden land would be affected by its aura.

With one careless step, they might be corroded by the Power of Reincarnation, changing in the opposite direction.

Thus, within the large forbidden lands of the Celestial Cloud Path, it’s considered quite renowned.

According to Qin An’s understanding, even those of the Element Transformation Realm entering must proceed cautiously.

The Tripod Aspiration Realm might be slightly more relaxed, but not by much.

After pondering, Qin An walked outside.

With the mission handed down, according to the rules of the Forbidden Land Envoy, he must undertake it, or it would be considered task neglect, even defying orders.

This is a taboo for the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Qin An could only temporarily set aside matters of proficiency.

Once outside, he didn’t hesitate, obtaining a fast horse from the Internal Affairs Department and casually heading down the official road.

Soon, Qin An’s figure disappeared within the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Many from the Evil Extermination Bureau who had been watching Qin An’s movements were aware he had left and headed in a direction.

Buzz of discussion circulated incessantly within the Evil Extermination Bureau.

"Mr. Qin finally left the Evil Extermination Bureau, which means he’ll create groundbreaking events once more."

"Looks like Mr. Qin will gain fame across the Celestial Cloud Path this time."

The buzz gradually expanded.

News of Qin An leaving the Evil Extermination Bureau spread like wildfire throughout the Celestial Cloud Path.

People of the Celestial Cloud Path all focused their attention on Qin An, speculating about his destination after leaving the Celestial Cloud Path, even if they couldn’t get close.

...

The Reincarnation Forbidden Area, located at the Reincarnation Sea in the northern part of the Celestial Cloud Path, is a vast sea territory.

Though surrounded by towns and villages, the turbulent waves make accidents frequent, often stirring up monstrous waves, making even regular folk and fishermen unwilling to visit.

For this reason, the surroundings of the Reincarnation Sea have instead become a wasteland.

At this moment, the Reincarnation Sea stretched endlessly beyond sight.

If someone observed carefully, they would find that hundreds had gathered at an entrance to the Reincarnation Sea.

Everyone wore black clothing, the uniform of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

And they exuded exceptionally strong and terrifying auras.

If directly sensed, one would find that the weakest here were of the Tripod Aspiration Realm; those of the Element Transformation Realm couldn’t even compare.

Besides, they emanated an aura at least crafted by Void Shattering Realm levels of supreme foundation.

With such a foundation and realm, even across the Celestial Cloud Path, they’d be considered powerful.

Yet, over a hundred were gathered here.

Currently, the hundred Tripod Aspiration Realm members of the Evil Extermination Bureau were scattered about, some gathered in small groups, chatting about recent gains, while others sat alone waiting patiently.

The conversations rose and fell, revolving seemingly around one person.

"I heard Qin An took on this mission too?"

"You’re correct; I have solid information confirming this task was indeed assigned to Qin An."

"How could that be? He’s merely a Forbidden Land Copper Envoy; how could he take on a large-scale mission?"

"It’s said he’s stepped into the Tripod Aspiration Realm, just hasn’t advanced to a Silver Envoy yet, so the task naturally fell to him."

"Your tone suggests dissatisfaction?"

"Heh, who would be convinced? It’s just opportunistic trickery, coincidentally unveiling the secret of the Jinluan Holy Hall. If we went, it would be the same, no need for him to stand out."

"If he could decode it, he surely has some knack; don’t be too arrogant."

The discussions mostly split into two parts.

One part acknowledged Qin An’s status, while the other derided him.

Forbidden Land Envoys, among the few top-tier figures in the Celestial Cloud Path, who’ve had unimpeded journeys through supreme foundations, naturally carry pride rivaled by none.

Even with Qin An’s might, some would still refuse to yield.

Fortunately, everyone, while some dissatisfied, didn’t express excessive animosity.

More Forbidden Land Envoys gathered here.

And among the crowd, there was a rather ordinary figure standing before a tree trunk, leaning against the trunk, feigning a nap. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The voices of conversation reached Qin An’s ears loud and clear.

Yet he didn’t make much of it, not even bothered to speak.

His purpose in coming here was merely to complete this obligatory task.

Once done, he’d return to his cultivation of proficiency.

Since discovering the true secret of the forbidden land, Qin An viewed enhancing his own strength as the paramount priority.

As for other matters, he disregarded them entirely.

The gathering reached its limit, with no new additions, as the waves of the Reincarnation Sea grew more turbulent.

The Forbidden Land Envoys exchanged glances, silent.

At this juncture, one person stepped out from among the Forbidden Land Envoys.

As the person emerged, a faint ripple of discussion ensued.

"It’s South Palace Xuan!"

"Indeed, it’s South Palace Xuan; it’s said he is of Tripod Aspiration Realm Perfection, just one step from entering the next level, surprising he was summoned for this task."

"He steps out now, likely intending to be this mission’s leader; no one would likely contest him."

The young man donned black clothes, possessing exceptionally handsome features, yet his expression bore a glacial chill.

As he stood out, the eyes of many fixated on him.

South Palace Xuan softly spoke: "I’ll lead this mission; I suppose none of you object."

No one spoke; most opted for silence, as even among Forbidden Land Envoys, hierarchy exists.

South Palace Xuan wished to lead, and absent dissent, all tacitly agreed.

Seeing no reply, South Palace Xuan prepared to continue.

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted: "I believe though strong, you’re insufficient for this task; better pass the leadership to me."

The voice concluded as a woman in black attire stepped forward from the crowd.

Her features were strikingly beautiful, her figure voluptuous, topped with silver hair.

Her appearance stirred discussion anew.

"It’s Moon Wushuang; didn’t expect her here. She’s in the same realm as South Palace Xuan, always at odds; looks like there’s drama to watch this time."

Qin An, amidst the crowd, watched the scene with interest.

South Palace Xuan frowned sharply as Moon Wushuang stepped out.
