Chapter 236: Prediction, Big Disaster

This kind of master, this kind of aura, just from the outside, you will feel that it is unusual.

Zhou An is also a master, so he can naturally see that the opponent's strength is definitely above the psychic realm.

But what the old man does now is not in line with his temperament, and even feels inconsistent.

Through his clairvoyance, Zhou An could see that the old man was busy cooking in the kitchen.

In the kitchen room, the old man skillfully lit the fire, served dishes, put ingredients, and stirred the pot...

The whole process gives people the feeling of cooking frequently and is extremely familiar.

In the dining room, a lot of food was already laid out, and it was obvious that it had just been cooked not long ago.

When the last soup dish came out of the pot, the old man put the soup on the table and sat down slowly.

Then, the old man's mouth moved. Although he didn't speak, he could tell from the shape of his mouth.

"Here you come, just come in."

This sentence was said to Zhou An, because there was no one else here.

At the level of Xu Nian, under Zhou An's clairvoyance, he naturally sensed that someone was monitoring him through special means.

This is Huaixi Capital, and it is also Zhou An's house. Apart from Zhou An, it is difficult to find another person who can use this unique method.

So Xu Nian quickly guessed who it was.

Zhou An stood outside the door, touched his chin, then took the black jade, opened the door, and walked in.

"Go in and take a look before we talk."

Now it seems that this old man from the Holy Realm does not have any bad intentions, at least not for now.

Zhou An was also curious as to why the old man suddenly ran to his house and cooked such a lot of food.

When Zhou An came to the room, before he could speak, the old man threw an object over.

Zhou An took it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and was slightly stunned: "Relic?"

What was given to him was the relic of Chi Chan.

Zhou An had two of them before, so he could tell them at a glance.

"A famous elder from the Wild Buddha Sect robbed the Yang family's magical medicine, but I killed him."

Xu Nian said calmly: "Although the relics of the Wild Buddha Sect are a little weak, they can still be used."

"I know you want this, so I'll give it to you."

Zhou An didn't say anything, put away the relics, and then asked: "Senior, what do you call me?"

A master in the Holy Realm is still a monster among the older generation. Of course, Zhou An must ask clearly about the purpose of his visit.

"My name is Xu Nian, and people in the world call me Ba Dao. Maybe you should have heard of me."

Xu Nian pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile: "Let's talk while eating. I haven't cooked for a long time, so after seeing it, I made some food."

In this world, everyone has unique hobbies, especially those in the industry, and their hobbies are infinitely magnified.

For example, learn from Xi Yuan’s fishing.

For Xu Nian, in his early years, he had no sect and no sect, so he relied solely on his own sword.

On weekdays, besides knives, his hobby is cooking.

If he hadn't been more talented with knives, he would probably have become the cook. Unfortunately, he didn't become the cook and killed a lot of people.

When Zhou An heard the word "Ba Dao", he already knew the identity of the other party.

He has read a lot of information now, so he naturally understands it.

"Senior Ba Dao is here, but what does Eunuch Wei want to tell me about?" Zhou An asked.

Regarding the matter between Xu Nian and Eunuch Wei, there were loud rumors in the world, and Zhou An certainly knew about it.

He had a happy-go-lucky temperament. He casually took the black jade with him, sat down in his seat, and really started to eat.

"Senior Xu's craftsmanship is really good." Zhou An even praised it.

Xu Nian narrowed his eyes and said, "You boy, you are indeed an out-of-the-box person as Old Thief Wei said."

"Ordinary geniuses, after meeting me, are all respectful as if they were worshiping gods, but you treat me like an ordinary old man."

"good."

What this meant was that Xu Nian did not blame Zhou An for his attitude, but rather praised it.

Zhou An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior Xu, I am used to seeing those prodigies who are only obedient. It would be nice to have a different taste."

"Yes, yes, indeed."

Xu Nian also smiled and changed the subject: "Let me see your knife skills. I have heard of your knife and pot skills for a long time. The knife is in front, so it should be stronger."

As an older generation in the All Saint Realm who uses swords, Xu Nian can be said to be the leader in this aspect.

It just so happened that Zhou An could also use a knife, so Xu Nian came up with the idea of ​​giving pointers. After all, his favorite thing to do was to give pointers to juniors.

Zhou An ate another meal, and without talking nonsense, he used the gold ring to imitate a long knife.

Although Zhou An wanted to say that he seemed to be more aggressive in his pot, it was not the right time to say so.

Having said that, it’s just to save other people’s face. People still need to have some emotional intelligence.

Seeing this, Xu Nian frowned: "Metal is indeed a good thing, but people who use swords should not overly pursue the value of the sword."

As soon as he saw this gold, Xu Nian had some ideas.

He often told his juniors that a knife is a weapon, but what really matters is the person who uses it.

Therefore, the sword is the auxiliary, and the talent is the master.

Xu Nian shook his head a little.

He felt that Zhou An, like those juniors, had fallen into this misunderstanding and regarded the knife as more important.

"I have to give you some advice. I can't let this kid go into a misunderstanding. I can also help old thief Wei."

Xu Nian thought to himself.

Zhou An didn't refute anything, but just swung his sword a few times at will.

The way he wielded the long sword was based on the move of Pao Ding's sword.

Although there was no sword light, in the eyes of a master like Xu Nian, there was no need for those things at all.

With the sword, he understood it without saying anything.

"What a strange sword technique. This sword technique actually targets the various vulnerabilities of the human body."

Xu Nian was slightly surprised and said: "With one slash, you can tear a person into pieces without using Qi. If you use Qi, it will be even more powerful."

In just one sentence, he highlighted the essence of Chef Ding's skill with the sword.

What is understanding people?

Literally, everyone understands it.

In Xu Nian's life, he has seen many sword skills and killed many people who used them.

Some swordsmanship is powerful, some swordsmanship is sinister, and some swordsmanship emphasizes calmness.

But this was the first time I saw this kind of sword technique, so I was a little surprised.

To learn this sword technique, you must first have an extremely detailed understanding of the structure of the human body.

"Senior is indeed very discerning. Once this knife is used, there will be no whole body. My aunt was cut into fifty-six parts by me back then. I still miss her so much."

Zhou An smiled and put away the long knife.

When Xu Nian heard this, he became a little interested: "If you can divide it into fifty-six parts, you can swing not only one sword but several swords. I'm afraid your aunt is also a master in the psychic realm."

Zhou An wanted to say what it was like to be in the psychic realm, but he felt that it would not be very good to say it at this time.

"This is the first time I've seen your sword skills. To be honest, you have your own sword skills. I don't want to say more, and there's nothing else I can say."

Xu Nian thought deeply: "But you have to remember that if you want to improve your sword skills, you need to use the sword as a supplement."

When he taught others, he first saw their flaws and then taught them.

But Zhou An's current situation does not require any guidance, because this sword technique is considered a new method developed by Zhou An.

He wouldn't interfere, but he still said a few words about using a knife.

Knife as a supplement?

Of course Zhou An could understand. What it meant was that he was putting the cart before the horse when he used the Taoist sword made of gold.

In fact, if you are really obsessed with sword skills, maybe these few tips are indeed correct.

But Zhou An is different.

It doesn't matter to him, he only needs liver proficiency and does not need to understand any sword skills.

Of course, Zhou An quickly said yes and said he understood.

After saying that, he took several more bites of food before returning to the topic.

"Senior, you must have something important to do when you come here this time, right?" Zhou An asked.

Xu Nian nodded: "Escorting the magic medicine is just a promise to Old Thief Wei. The other thing is to come and see you."

At this point, Xu Nian paused slightly and continued.

"You should know something about the psychic space, the secret about the White King."

Zhou An heard this and said that he did know.

King Bai, the younger brother of the current emperor of the Man Kingdom, once died in the psychic space.

It can be regarded as an early death, otherwise with this status, he should be a big boss level figure now.

Back then, before King Bai died, he once said that the place of death, an ancient city in the psychic space, held huge secrets.

That ancient city has been transformed into something strange, but it is difficult to find.

The reason is that the psychic space is so huge that even if it contains all the psychic realms in the world, it is still vast.

Because of this, it is extremely difficult to find the secret that King Bai said.

The Barbarian Kingdom is despised by other countries. If you want to gather your people in the psychic space to find the secret, you need to have a suitable cover-up.

Therefore, those people in the psychic space who are doing banditry are caused by the barbarian country.

They disguised themselves as bandits, and it is said that many of them have gathered inside the psychic space, using this name to explore the secrets told by the White King.

Of course, if this matter is not known to other countries, it will really be done by him.

Unfortunately, other countries knew about it and took advantage of it.

You, Manguo, help me explore the secrets. Once you have discovered them, they will no longer be discovered by you, Manguo.

"Is it related to the White King in the psychic space?" Zhou An asked.

Xu Nian nodded and said: "It is indeed related. According to what Eunuch Wei said, King Bai seems to have appeared. Of course, it has become strange and was discovered by a master in the psychic realm."

The White King appears?

Zhou An was slightly startled.

He knew that King Bai died in the psychic space, and the ancient city became strange, so he allowed King Bai to die.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal. They are all dead, and they are still dying in the ancient city. It is normal for them to become weird.

"So, if you find King Bai, you might be able to discover the ancient city and find out the secrets related to the ancient city?" Zhou An touched his chin and asked.

Xu Nian nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Zhou An's mouth twitched and said, "But I'm only in the innate realm and can't enter the psychic space."

In fact, he could go in, but subconsciously, he wanted to shirk the matter. After all, he was really not interested in it.

If it's related to liver proficiency, that's what he's most interested in. If it has nothing to do with proficiency, then there's no need.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Xu Nian seemed to have known that Zhou An would say this, and shook his head.

"Eunuch Wei already knew that you would answer this way, so he asked me to come here to tell you something."

Xu Nian said slowly: "The people from the barbarian country are preparing to deal with you. It is said that they are going through the psychic space. As for the specific reason, we don't know yet."

Barbarian people, deal with me?

Zhou An touched his chin and said: "It's reasonable. I killed their people before. These guys also pay attention to revenge."

It's a barbarian country. If it weren't for revenge, it probably wouldn't be a barbarian country.

"Eunuch Wei speculates that it is related to King Bai's secret?" Zhou An asked.

"Nowadays, it seems that this is the only way to deal with it according to the barbarian country." Xu Nian said.

Since the Man Kingdom has decided to deal with Zhou An through the psychic space, and King Bai has appeared again, there is a high possibility that there is a connection between the two.

"I understand. If you enter the psychic space, I will go and have a look." Zhou An nodded.

Xu Nian glanced at Zhou An and said, "You seem to be perfunctory."

Zhou An shook his head and said: "This is just one clue now. If there are more clues, I won't be too late to go."

He didn't mean to be perfunctory.

Just like what he said, there are almost no clues now, just the White King. How can that be a clue?

Bagua arithmetic can’t be calculated either.

Otherwise, with Zhou An's temper, he would have gone to the psychic space with a knife to look for them, and when he found them, he would have turned them all into ashes.

After all, killing everyone is Zhou An's style.

He is currently more proficient in Anxin Gan. He will wait until there are clues, and then he will do it all at once.

After Xu Nian heard this, he understood that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou An said, and it was indeed the case.

"Okay, I won't have to worry too much about you young people's affairs. Anyway, if Eunuch Wei asked me to take care of you, I have already brought you."

"I will leave tomorrow."

Zhou An smiled and said, "Senior, don't you stay a few more days?"

Xu Nian shook his head: "You kid, maybe you want me to leave early."

"I still want to go back to the palace. After all, I still have to continue what I promised Old Thief Wei."

Zhou An then nodded and said: "Then I will clean up the room where senior lives."

He got up and prepared to go to the guest room to tidy up.

Unexpectedly, Xu Nian refused before he could even take two steps.

"As an old guy, I won't bother you anymore. I have a few old friends here in Huaixijing, so I'm going to visit them."

Xu Nian stood up and disappeared into the room without lingering.

Masters in the All Saint Realm naturally have to pay attention to their standards. For example, right now, they don't even go through the main entrance.

Zhou An looked at the empty room and the pile of food on the table, and shook his head helplessly.

After he put away the meal, he didn't think about the psychic space. Instead, he went to the pool in the backyard of the house and jumped directly into it.

He has to make trouble, and he is getting closer and closer to the psychic realm. Once he reaches the psychic realm, with his current bonus, he will be invincible.

The night was very dark, and there was a surge in the pool in Zhou An's yard. At this time, Zhou An seemed to be integrated with the water.

…

Psychic space.

In a huge, dilapidated ancient city.

At this time, hundreds of masters in the psychic realm are gathering here.

Although this ancient city is dilapidated, it has not become a strange sign, so these masters can stay here safely.

The leader was a voluptuous woman wearing a red dress.

The woman has a feminine appearance and an explosive figure. She is the type who cannot see her toes when she lowers her head.

Especially the charm that radiates from the inside out, coupled with her appearance, will make many men unable to take their eyes away.

The soft and charming woman in red moved her steps slightly, and her chest rose and fell, causing many of the people present to swallow their saliva.

But they didn't dare to look more, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Generally, among masters in the psychic realm, men don't care much about appearance, but women are different.

There are some ways for women to maintain their youthful appearance and figure without feeling old.

For example, the woman in red looks very young, but she has reached the psychic realm, so her real age must be quite a lot.

"Have you found out where the prince is?" the woman in red asked.

A middle-aged man quickly replied: "Coming back to the commander, the person in the industry who saw the prince didn't seem to know which direction the prince went from."

They are, ostensibly, members of the bandit trade within the psychic space.

But in fact, they are all from the barbarian country. In this way, this group of teams has been entangled.

And this woman in red, named Lei Xue, is their leader here.

Lei Xue is also very famous in the world, and is also a top master in the psychic realm.

She is a martial artist and is good at double swords, named Yanhong Double Swords.

It is said that when the two swords are used, bright red Qi will emerge.

Anyone in the industry who is covered by this Qi will have their blood boil and eventually rush out of the body and die.

The combat power cannot be underestimated, otherwise Lei Xue would not become the leader here.

Lei Xue frowned when he heard the report from his subordinates: "Keep looking, haven't you recruited a lot of people? Let them know together and let them find it."

"Yes!" the middle-aged man replied quickly.

Lei Xue waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say another word.

The middle-aged man and the others looked at each other and left quietly.

After they left, the place was empty, with only Lei Xue left.

Lei Xue suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, faced the void in front of him, and said respectfully: "I have met the prince."

In front of Lei Xue, the void twisted, and a young and handsome man appeared next to Lei Xue.

"Get up." King Bai said calmly, as if he hadn't seen him.

Lei Xue then stood up, but still lowered his head and said nothing.

"Is the Zhou An you are talking about really so important?" Bai Wang asked with a frown.

Lei Xue nodded and said: "It is indeed important, Your Majesty, please give me your research results. Zhou An must die, otherwise the Great Chu Kingdom will inevitably rise."

The White King fell into deep thought.

Lei Xue continued: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has said that he will not delay you or even put you in any danger of being exposed."

"The Man Kingdom has done a lot for the prince, and the prince has stayed in the psychic realm all his life for the sake of the Man Kingdom. Both sides complement each other."

"Zhou An is dead, and the prince's research will be safer."

After hearing this, King Bai finally broke the silence: "This research is incomplete after all. You can't be sure if it exposes me."

"No, whoever implements this plan will not let him come back alive, not even the Imperial Master of the Chu Kingdom can count on him."

Lei Xu continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the future of the Barbarian Kingdom."

King Bai pondered for a long time and said slowly: "In three days, when you come here, remember, you are the only one."

After saying this, King Bai disappeared.

The entire psychic space became empty again, even lonely.

Lei Xue then stood up and took a deep breath, feeling like he was finally relaxed.

"Countries have spies from each other. You know our affairs, so why don't we know your plans?"

The red clothes on Lei Xue's body were like blood: "Unfortunately, you will never know that the original White King is not actually dead."

"And Zhou An, the future pillar of your great Chu country, is probably going to be destroyed soon."

Thinking of this, Lei Xue's figure flashed and disappeared into this psychic space.

…

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed like this.

At this time, still in this psychic space, Lei Xue had appeared.

Still dressed in red, he stood respectfully and said nothing.

After about a stick of incense, King Bai appeared from the void dressed like an ordinary person.

In King Bai's hand, he held a wooden box, about the size of a fist.

"Take the things away. From now on, don't come to me again. I have nothing to do with the barbarian country."

King Bai handed the wooden box to Lei Xue and said, "My brother who is the emperor does not need to threaten me anymore, because the psychic space is too big. Even if someone knows that I am not dead, they cannot find me."

"You have to understand that it was me who found you, not you who found me."

Lei Xue fell into silence.

But she didn't hesitate, took the wooden box in her hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, but did not open it.

"My lord, you are from the barbarian country after all." Lei Xue said in a low tone.

"No, it used to be." King Bai glanced at Lei Xue and said slowly: "Now, I am just a person who explores the truth, and I have nothing to do with your barbarian country."

Lei Xue sighed: "I will tell Your Majesty about this."

"It's up to you." King Bai didn't seem to care. His figure flashed and disappeared into this space again.

Lei Xue looked at King Bai's disappearing figure, clenched the wooden box in his hand, and then circulated the Qi in his body.

After her Qi started to circulate, a bunch of masters in the psychic realm appeared beside her.

"Let those people go to the ancient city I mentioned, pass the news on, and then...let them die."

Lei Xue's tone was cold.

A subordinate was stunned and his tone became urgent: "Sir, they are also from the barbaric country. This..."

"Someone has to die."

A look of indifference appeared in Lei Xue's eyes, and he said slowly: "Only if they make things bigger in the psychic space, will I have the opportunity to kill Zhou An and get rid of this person who may become a formidable enemy in the future."

"Their deaths are worth it. Don't tell them. This will make it more realistic."

After hearing this, the subordinate put away his surprised expression and nodded.

Even though orders were given from above, he didn't dare to say more.

At this time, Lei Xue's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the psychic space.

The subordinates did not hesitate and left quickly, setting up the arrangement according to Lei Xue's method.

…

After leaving the psychic space, Lei Xue appeared in a remote village in Huaixijing. The red clothes on her body had turned into ordinary clothes.

In her hand, she still held the wooden box, as if she had some treasure.

This village, even in a prosperous place like Huaixi Capital, is remote and small, which is perfect for Lei Xue to hide.

It is said that the Barbarian Kingdom paid a high price to send her in. Many spies were discovered by the Chu Kingdom and executed secretly.

Lei Xue looked in the direction of Huai Xijing and thought silently: "This time, Zhou An will probably die."

In this world, unlike those scripts, there is no evenly matched opponent.

To put it bluntly, Zhou An today, those forces want to get rid of him quickly, and they can't wait for Zhou An to die immediately.

After all, in their opinion, Zhou An's future must be at the top, and he is an extremely dangerous opponent.

Forces such as Zong Xing, Ye Dao Sect, Ye Buddhism Sect, and Barbarian Country, if they were not trapped by other situations, would like to directly dispatch the top masters.

For example, Zongxing, if possible, even the leader of Zongxing would personally get rid of Zhou An.

Therefore, the Barbarian Kingdom spent a lot of money this time.

Only a few people know that King Bai is not dead. He has discovered important secrets in the ancient city and is gradually researching them.

The wooden box in his hand is a research object and a useful thing for Zhou An.

"I need to wait for a few days until there is some noise in the psychic space, then it's time for me to take action."

Lei Xue thought to herself.

In the small mountain village, the faces of the people were dull, and red Qi was flashing between their eyebrows.

…

Within the psychic space, clouds are moving in all directions.

Zhou An didn't know it, because he was now addicted to proficiency and couldn't extricate himself.

Especially the skill of making trouble, it is really cool to play.

It’s not the feeling of increasing proficiency, but the feeling of increasing intimacy with the water flow.

Every time he improves his proficiency, he becomes more and more familiar with the water flow. Only Zhou An can feel the refreshing feeling without any sense of isolation.

It's like one shot to the end, no lag.

So in the past few days, Zhou An has really stayed at the front door and never taken a step forward. Even if he wanted to eat, he would take the shortest way with Black Jade.

Nowadays, proficiency is rising rapidly and has been greatly improved.

Of course, he is still a little far away from making waves at the seventh level. It can only be said that the distance is not far.

As for the stored proficiency, it is almost full and Zhou An will be able to use it soon.

"Let's go and eat!"

Zhou An called Hei Yu, speaking concisely and to the point, and planned to go back to liver proficiency after finishing the meal.

"oh."

Black Jade agreed and followed Zhou An silently.

After the two went out to have a meal, they were ready to go home.

But on the way home, Zhou An met Zong Shanyin, who looked very anxious.

"What's wrong?" Zhou An asked.

Zong Shanyin replied: "Sir, something happened in the psychic space. It is said that... King Bai's ancient city appeared."

"The ancient city of King Bai appeared?"

Zhou An frowned.

To be honest, he has been so obsessed with it recently that he has put this matter behind him.

"Tell me more about it and what you think." Zhou An said.

Since everyone has come to find him, there must be a reason. Zhou An waited for Zong Shanyin to continue.

Only then did Zong Shanyin begin to talk...

"The thing is like this..."

As Zong Shanyin narrated, Zhou An gradually understood the whole story.

According to Zong Shanyin, King Bai's ancient city was discovered in the psychic space.

A large number of people have already passed by, ready to see the secret of King Bai, and among these people, there are naturally people from the barbarian country.

Dachu State and other countries also took notice of the news and prepared to send people to the psychic space to intercept Hu.

The same is true for Huaixijing. To suppress the secret agents, half of the masters of the psychic realm need to be dispatched to go to the psychic space in person.

Zhou An touched his chin with his hand, thinking secretly about what Zong Shanyin said.

After a moment, he did not answer, but circulated the Qi in his body.

At first, there were no clues, so Zhou An couldn't be counted.

Now that he had a clue, Zhou An simply tried using Bagua arithmetic to see if he could figure out something.

In front of his eyes, golden gossip appeared, spinning continuously in mid-air.

After a while, Zhou An shook his head.

I didn't calculate it, maybe there were too few clues, and the other party hid it too deeply.

"Since it's the director-general's wish, you can just follow this method." Zhou An said.

The general secretary's intention is to go in half, but the person in charge of each city needs to be outside with the remaining half to guard.

As for how to command the half that entered, they naturally had a way.

In other words, Zhou An should stay outside and be responsible for maintaining the safety here.

"yes."

Zong Shanyin replied: "This subordinate is here to inform Mr. Zhou of this matter. In this case, I will leave."

Since it was Si Jing and this matter was a big deal, it was natural that Zhou An should know about it.

Zhou An nodded and asked Zong Shanyin to leave, but he still gave a few instructions to the members of the Zhenshisi who entered the psychic space to pay attention to their safety.

Zong Shanyin also agreed and left quickly.

The matter was important and he did not stay long.

After Zong Shanyin left, Zhou An thought for a moment and felt that in the current situation, he seemed to be unable to be a shopkeeper.

Since he stayed outside, he decided to go and sit down with the Guisi, or dig a pool at the worst possible time.

"That's okay. Go to suppress the spooks, you can react quickly, dig a pool, and you can improve your proficiency."

Thinking of this, Zhou An did not choose to go home, but planned to go to suppress Guisi.

But before he could take two steps, he suddenly reacted and slapped his head.

"I almost forgot, why didn't I calculate the good or bad luck?" Zhou An thought.

Now that the calculation has come to this point, even if the specific situation cannot be calculated, it is still possible to calculate the good or bad luck.

Thinking of this, Zhou An continued to run the Bagua arithmetic and began to calculate the impact of this incident on himself.

The next moment, the golden color in front of him disappeared and was replaced by another color.

"It's so dark... it's shiny!" (End of this chapter)
