Chapter 546: Chapter 535: Bai Lingfeng’s Identity
At this mont, the path of the Evil Extermination Bureau is extrely quiet, with no one passing by.
Only Qin An and Chen Liuyun are present here.
After Chen Liuyun spoke these words, he said no more, waiting for Qin An’s response.
Qin An pondered slightly, nodding: "Alright, let’s find another place to talk."
Originally, he ca here to look for Zhu Xueshuang, and see if there were any tasks he could take on.
But since Chen Liuyun ntioned there were other matters to discuss, Qin An didn’t mind, he’d first find a place to talk with Chen Liuyun.
After all, both of them indeed ca from Xunyang Prefecture, and Qin An was quite curious about Chen Liuyun’s current status.
Neither a person of the Evil Extermination Bureau nor part of the previous General Mansion, then what exactly was his identity?
The two left this path, walked to a stall outside the Evil Extermination Bureau and sat, ordering a pot of tea.
Because Qin An was wearing official robes, no common folk sat at several tables outside this one, providing the two with enough space for conversation.
Qin An raised the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked: "Mr. Chen, since we’ve found a quiet place, can you now tell
exactly what’s going on with you."
Chen Liuyun took a sip of tea, then set the cup down and said, "After arriving at the Evil Extermination Bureau, I indeed joined the camp of Tong Daoshuai, but not long ago, I broke through to the Elent Transformation Realm and am preparing to beco a Silver Dao Marshal."
"Or perhaps inquire on how to advance to a Mountain Patrol Marshal, gaining my fortune at the ancient battlefield ruins."
"But unexpectedly, before I could find my superior, soone stopped ."
At this, Chen Liuyun showed a few signs of emotion.
Qin An slightly frowned: "Who stopped you?"
Chen Liuyun’s gaze beca gradually serious: "The person who stopped
was called Bai Lingfeng."
Upon hearing this, Qin An’s hand gripping the teacup tightened slightly.
"So it was Bai Lingfeng."
He recalled who this was; it was the pale figure he encountered in the ancient battlefield ruins.
Back then, he saved him, and Bai Lingfeng provided him the supre foundation to reach the Unity Realm.
But Qin An didn’t expect that after coming to the Evil Extermination Bureau, it was Chen Liuyun, from the General Mansion, who first interacted with Bai Lingfeng.
And judging from Chen Liuyun’s aning, Bai Lingfeng’s identity must be far from simple.
Thinking of this, Qin An said nothing but gestured for Chen Liuyun to continue with his story.
After a brief pause, Chen Liuyun continued: "I know what you an; as you might imagine, Bai Lingfeng’s identity is indeed not simple. Even Li Moyun standing behind you would address him as Lord Bai upon seeing him."
"He’s not a Mountain Patrol Marshal, yet in the Evil Extermination Bureau, he holds a position even more unique than that of a Mountain Patrol Marshal."
At this point, Chen Liuyun paused in his speech.
Qin An’s curiosity was piqued, so he asked: "What exactly is his identity?"
While promoting to Scholar Profession, Qin An often perused various miscellaneous books in the Confidential Library; thus, he was quite familiar with the ranks in the Evil Extermination Bureau.
Yet in Qin An’s understanding, besides the Mountain Patrol Marshal and Tong Daoshuai, there should be no other positions in the Evil Extermination Bureau.
But now, Chen Liuyun claims Bai Lingfeng is neither a Mountain Patrol Marshal nor a Dao Marshal, yet ranks above Li Moyun. Where then does this rank above co from?
Chen Liuyun paused briefly before saying: "Lord Bai also holds another identity, which is the Forbidden Land Envoy of the Evil Extermination Bureau."
With this, Qin An was first taken aback, then he reacted.
"Mr. Chen ntioned the Forbidden Area earlier; does this refer to the various Forbidden Areas within Tianyun Dao?"
Chen Liuyun nodded without hesitation: "Correct, it’s exactly as you imagine. The so-called Forbidden Land Envoy roams each Forbidden Area, maintaining the balance of these areas."
Qin An raised his hand to interrupt: "Wait a mont, Mr. Chen, you ntioned maintaining the balance of the Forbidden Area. From what I know, Forbidden Areas are akin to ancient battlefield ruins, full of various dangers. How does one maintain this?"
Chen Liuyun shook his head and said: "Forbidden Areas are deeper than you imagine, but I cannot reveal the specific situation now."
"So why have you co back to tell
this, besides conveying this information?" Qin An asked again.
From Chen Liuyun’s previous words, Qin An deduced a few things, most significantly related to the Forbidden Area.
Perhaps the Forbidden Area isn’t as chaotic and dangerous as he envisioned.
There might be corresponding rules within; otherwise, there wouldn’t be the position of a Forbidden Land Envoy that Chen Liuyun ntioned.
After a brief pause, Chen Liuyun continued: "The reason I ca to inform you is actually at Lord Bai’s behest. Lord Bai asked
to reveal a bit to you to see if you wish to beco a Forbidden Land Envoy."
Qin An pondered: "What are the requirents?"
Chen Liuyun said: "First, you must have the cultivation of the Elent Transformation Realm; secondly, before achieving this, you must possess supre foundations, capable of forging them to the Unity Realm at least."
Qin An touched his chin and said: "The requirents are indeed high."
Elent Transformation Realm is attainable; in fact, within Tianyun Dao, there are quite a few in the Evil Extermination Bureau at the Elent Transformation Realm.
However, according to Chen Liuyun’s explanation, it is exceedingly difficult to forge supre foundations to the Unity Realm.
After all, in the preceding realms, if any realm fails to forge supre foundations, then it essentially isn’t considered supre foundation.
Thus, each step is extrely challenging.
Chen Liuyun forged supre foundations in the Unity Realm; Qin An doesn’t know if he forged them in the Void Shattering Realm. Yet, according to Chen Liuyun, becoming a Forbidden Land Envoy is exceptionally arduous.
Qin An fell into silence, then after a long ti, raised his head: "Pass a ssage to Lord Bai for , say that if I achieve the Elent Transformation Realm, I’ll await good news from Lord Bai."
Chen Liuyun nodded and said, "I knew Mr. Qin would be willing to join the Forbidden Land Envoy. I can only say the Forbidden Land Envoy is excellent. Although it’s even more dangerous than the Mountain Patrol Marshal, the rits you gain are greater. Moreover, it has more power and freedom than the Mountain Patrol Marshal and Dao Marshal."
Qin An nodded and said, "Such a good thing, of course, I have to participate in it. But if I reach the Elent Transformation Realm, how do I inform Lord Bai about joining the Forbidden Land Envoy?"
Chen Liuyun shook his head, "By then, Lord Bai will naturally send soone over, don’t worry. Lord Bai is very attentive to you, and when you reach the Elent Transformation Realm, he will naturally have you join the Forbidden Land Envoy."
At this point, Chen Liuyun stood up and then took a Mountain Patrol Marshal badge from his waist and hung it on.
When Qin An saw the item, he frowned.
"Mr. Chen is not a Forbidden Land Envoy? Why are you putting on a Mountain Patrol Marshal badge?"
Chen Liuyun shook his head, "When you reach the Elent Transformation Realm, you’ll understand. Saying it now isn’t in line with the rules of the Evil Extermination Bureau."
"I ca over just to convey Lord Bai’s ssage to you. Now that it’s explained, I will take my leave; I still have tasks at hand and won’t stay longer."
He ca quickly and left quickly.
After finishing this final sentence with Qin An, he turned away before Qin An could get up to see him off.
Qin An watched Chen Liuyun’s gradually receding figure, pondered for a mont, then got up and walked toward Zhu Xueshuang’s residence.
The conversation with Chen Liuyun actually touched upon a clue, but the clue wasn’t apparent.
However, that’s not important. Once he reaches the Elent Transformation Realm and joins the so-called Forbidden Land Envoy, everything will naturally beco clear.
As for why he wants to join the Forbidden Land Envoy, Qin An has his own thoughts.
Having extrely high freedom and obtaining nurous rits—even if it’s a bit dangerous, it’s worth it.
What he wants most is freedom, which can provide greater convenience for mastering his practice profession.
The way back was uneventful.
When Qin An arrived at Zhu Xueshuang’s courtyard, Zhu Xueshuang was as usual, looking over recent docunts in the yard.
After reaching the Silver Dao Marshal level, one becos entangled in affairs, making it very troubleso.
This is also the reason why Qin An is reluctant to rise further.
Upon sensing footsteps, Zhu Xueshuang looked up to see Qin An already in the courtyard.
She put down the docunt in her hand and asked, "You’ve been quite quiet lately; what’s brought you here for a stroll today?"
She frequently watches Qin An, fulfilling the task given by Li Moyun, thus knowing Qin An hasn’t left Tianyun Dao much these days.
He’s been quite regular, only going out besides eating and sleeping to visit blacksmiths or butcher shops.
Unclear what exactly he’s up to.
Today, Qin An ca to see her, sparking her curiosity about his current agenda.
Approaching Zhu Xueshuang, Qin An said, "Naturally looking for tasks from Lord Zhu, checking if there are any tasks I can take on."
Zhu Xueshuang frowned, "If you want to find tasks, just directly go to the Internal Affairs Departnt Daoist Official; I posted all the tasks there."
The Evil Extermination Bureau has its own rules, so if Qin An wants tasks, he can go to the Internal Affairs Departnt Daoist Official.
It’s the first ti Zhu Xueshuang has seen Qin An actively seek tasks from her.
Qin An shook his head and said, "I want to find a task nearby, ideally close to Tianyun Dao. If I go through the Internal Affairs Departnt Daoist Official, it’s quite troubleso to search, so coming to you saves a lot of ti."
The tasks at the Internal Affairs Departnt Daoist Official are nurous.
Qin An has to ticulously screen them.
Such search wastes a lot of ti.
And wasted ti affects his profession mastery, so directly coming to Zhu Xueshuang, the task issuer, it’s simpler.
Zhu Xueshuang revealed an understanding expression, "You truly pursue efficiency, but if you want a task close to Tianyun Dao, I indeed have one to offer."
She understood Qin An’s approach since she’s smart enough, knowing Qin An offended forces of the Green Xuan Bird Clan and Seven-Colored Clouds Sect on Tianyun Dao.
If those two mystical forces knew Qin An was still alive, they surely wouldn’t let him go.
Therefore, staying closer to the Evil Extermination Bureau implies more safety for Qin An.
Qin An asked, "What is the task?"
He didn’t expect Zhu Xueshuang to so swiftly offer a task, becoming curious about what it entails.
After a brief pause, Zhu Xueshuang took a docunt from the piles beside her and pushed it across the table to Qin An.
"This task is sowhat special; it isn’t about dealing with mystical beings or Pseudo-Gods but a mission to escort—just fifty miles north of Tianyun Dao."
"An escort mission?"
Qin An rubbed his chin, "That’s quite rare."
Entities in the Evil Extermination Bureau are primarily weapons against demons and fiends, exceedingly adept at dispatching mystical beings and Pseudo-Gods or those betraying humanity.
Escort-type tasks are almost unprecedented.
And even if escort missions arise, they are far from Tianyun Dao.
But now Zhu Xueshuang handed such a task to him, sparking curiosity about its nature.
Before Zhu Xueshuang, Qin An opened the docunt, thoroughly read through it, slightly nodding, "I’ll take this task."
With a serious expression, Zhu Xueshuang said, "I was contemplating who’s suitable for this task, and since you’ve taken it, you need to be diligent. After all, the person you are escorting holds a very special identity..."
