Chapter 97: Chapter 89: Escape and Pursuit
The Fox Mother froze upon hearing the words, then revealed a mocking smile.
"Do you really think you can get information from ?"
Qin An nodded and said, "Just asking."
Since the Fox Mother was already powerless to resist, he casually asked a few questions.
If he could ascertain the Tree Lord’s movents, it would naturally be a good thing.
As for the matter regarding Ye Lengyu, Qin An had promised Ye Lengshuang, so it was just a matter of convenience.
The Fox Mother spat, her mocking tone growing stronger, "Brat, if you’ve got the guts, take this old woman’s head. Thinking you can glean any information from , you’re simply delusional."
As soon as she finished speaking, the flash of a knife swept by.
The fox’s head flew high, landing on the ground, eyes still wide, as if disbelief at how decisively Qin An had acted.
Qin An wiped the black knife on the fox’s tail, cleaning off the blood, his expression as calm as still water.
Wan Ziqing’s eyes flashed with a glimr of light, "Why so decisive?"
One mont he was asking for intel, the next he personally beheaded the Fox Mother.
This action by Qin An made Wan Ziqing sowhat perplexed.
Qin An looked up, "Her lips were too tight. If I can’t ask, then kill her to avoid future troubles."
Wan Ziqing’s eyes showed a bit of interest, "I’ve underestimated you. Your ruthlessness suits the Evil Extermination Bureau well. Too bad you’re following the wrong person."
Yang Quanfeng, standing aside, frowned and said, "Old woman, others may fear you, but I do not. To say such things in front of , do you wish to spar with my hamr?"
Wan Ziqing turned to Yang Quanfeng, her voice as cold as ice, "If you call
old woman again, let’s settle this in the arena after leaving the Tiger Clan’s secret hideout."
Yang Quanfeng chuckled, "Afraid of you? Hardly."
The two began to bicker.
Qin An reached into his pouch and pulled out a grain-sized Thousand Face Monkey.
The Thousand Face Monkey, upon appearing, saw the tragic deaths of the monkey and the Fox Mother and couldn’t help but stop breathing, a fawning expression on its face.
"You three masters have unmatched skills, slaying foul creatures and restoring clarity to the world."
It didn’t care at all that it was a mber of the monkey clan and flattered profusely.
But at this mont, a flash of a knife swept by.
The monkey’s head flew up and landed on the ground.
Qin An proficiently extracted the blood marrow and absorbed it into his body.
Yang Quanfeng, who was bickering, paused and frowned.
"Didn’t you say the Thousand Face Monkey’s thousand-faced ability was of great use, so why kill it?"
Qin An put away the black knife, "I lied to him. Such a capricious individual, with the current chaos and the Tree Lord lurking, it’s better to be safe than sorry."
Yang Quanfeng’s mouth twitched, "What have you experienced in Ding County to beco so cautious?"
The more ti he spent with Qin An, the more he uncovered about him.
Starting with astonishing talent and cultivation speed, followed by ruthless thods.
Adding his cautious character now, Yang Quanfeng’s admiration for Qin An grew ever stronger.
Qin An did not make another move.
Yang Quanfeng collected the monkey’s blood essence.
As for the Fox Mother’s blood essence, it was taken by Wan Ziqing.
Qin An had no intention of collecting it.
Wan Ziqing brushed her hair from her forehead, "You contributed to eradicating these creatures, but blood essence is precious, sothing we all treasure."
Qin An nodded, remaining silent.
Wan Ziqing continued, "I owe you a favor, and as I ntioned before about the great opportunity with the Evil Extermination Bureau, once you’ve perfected the Jade Bone Realm, I will help you."
Qin An raised an eyebrow, "Alright."
Wan Ziqing ntioned the great opportunity with the Evil Extermination Bureau several tis, insisting on perfection of the Jade Bone Realm, which piqued Qin An’s interest.
Yang Quanfeng was stunned, then recovered and asked angrily, "How can you speak like that!"
Wan Ziqing turned back, "I know you admire talent, but he is inherently suited for eliminating demons."
Yang Quanfeng put away his anger and fell into silence.
Wan Ziqing continued, "If he can achieve perfection before the ti cos, it will be his destiny."
"If he cannot, then it is not."
"His talent, thods, and character are all first-class. Neither you nor I can hold him back."
Yang Quanfeng sighed at these words, ceasing further argunt.
Qin An couldn’t resist asking, "What exactly is this opportunity, can you elaborate?"
Wan Ziqing shook her head, "You’re only at Great Success in the Jade Bone Realm, there’s still a long road to perfection."
"Like your forr superior Cheng Sufeng, he too wanted to reach perfection soon to seize the opportunity."
"Telling you now would only create unnecessary concerns and stagnate your cultivation."
At this point, Wan Ziqing seed truly unwilling to discuss it further.
After pondering for a mont, Qin An stopped asking.
After discussing with Yang Quanfeng for a while, Wan Ziqing led Qin An and the Silver State Guards in a specific direction.
Soon, the place was empty, no one left.
...
As ti passed, more and more Silver State Guards gathered, gradually breaking through different sections of the Tiger Clan’s secret hideout.
At this mont, a large number of mbers from the Evil Extermination Bureau had gathered at the grand palace.
Besides Yang Quanfeng and Wan Ziqing, the other two Jinzhou guards had also arrived.
The Silver State Guards too had arrived, though their numbers had decreased sowhat.
Everyone understood clearly in their hearts that many of these people might never return.
mbers of the Evil Extermination Bureau were used to licking blood from knife edges, casualties were inevitable.
No one grieved, all eyes were cast on the palace ahead, expressions heavy as ink.
Cheng Sufeng touched the bandage on his left hand, "Once this place is settled, the Tiger Clan’s secret will co to an end."
Qin An stood beside Cheng Sufeng, nodding without speaking.
Cheng Sufeng withdrew his hand, looking at Qin An whose appearance was only slightly dusty, and remarked helplessly, "You’re still so indifferent, but I never thought your strength would exceed mine by so much."
The stark contrast between Cheng Sufeng’s injuries and Qin An’s unscathed condition was evident.
