Chapter 758: Chapter 646: General Envoy, Trial (Part 2)
At that time, everything will naturally become clear.
Thinking of this, Qin An said no more, following Zhong Mucheng, heading towards the end ahead.
...
The end was an open plain, and on the plain, dozens of terrifying figures stood at the moment.
Everyone here was a leader of a Forbidden Area, each of them renowned in Xuanjing City, no matter how large the Forbidden Area was.
In any Tao-level city, even if all their Forbidden Land Envoys came out in full force, they would not be able to shake these people in the slightest.
At this moment, these leaders from the major Forbidden Areas of Xuanjing City were waiting for one person.
That person was Qin An, who was hailed as the Savior.
As Zhong Mucheng led Qin An quickly to this plain, the dozens of Forbidden Area leaders all turned their gaze, resting on Qin An.
Their expressions varied.
Some carried a hint of surprise, while others were pondering, and some wore a look of disdain.
Others had indifferent expressions, like a calm lake, concealing any emotions.
Qin An felt the many complex gazes around him, yet he remained composed, merely placing his hand on the knife handle at his waist, gently rubbing it.
His gaze hovered over the crowd, eventually noticing three particularly piercing stares.
The looks from these three, besides disdain, carried more of a challenge, as if they didn’t take him seriously.
Zhong Mucheng also noticed these gazes, smiled bitterly, and then brought Qin An forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Qin has arrived. I believe everyone is already familiar with Mr. Qin’s strengths and background, also aware that Mr. Qin, being a resounding Savior, has helped the Forbidden Area of Celestial Cloud Path achieve temporary safety."
"I won’t say more unnecessary words, next, I’ll invite Mr. Qin to speak about his purpose of coming here."
Regarding Qin An’s purpose here, actually everyone present already knew, but none revealed it.
Because in their view, regardless of Qin An’s purpose, it must be spoken by Qin An himself, which is also why they are gathered here.
Qin An’s eyes slightly sank, then he lifted them to survey the surroundings, speaking simply and directly: "I come here as per Emperor Xuanwu of the Daqian Kingdom’s wish, specifically to invite everyone to work closely with the Evil Extermination Bureau of the Daqian Kingdom, to eliminate the Demon Pseudo-Gods within the Forbidden Areas."
His words were direct, with no evasions.
For Qin An, he came to resolve this matter, if it can be done then he will, if not then he’ll find a way, if utterly impossible, he’d go back to inform Emperor Xuanwu.
Of course, what interested Qin An was the three Forbidden Areas mentioned earlier by Zhong Mucheng.
These three Forbidden Areas seemed to want to test him, and he also wished to know what that test entailed.
As Qin An stated this, all the Forbidden Area leaders exchanged glances.
A large portion kept silent while some raised their hands to indicate their willingness to cooperate with Qin An.
This was like what Zhong Mucheng said, his Savior status was still recognized here, some were willing to follow his command, believing in the old prophecy.
Yet a portion still remained, they neither kept silent nor showed agreement but first voiced opposition.
One Forbidden Area leader stepped forward, saying: "In ancient times, there was once a country, we believed in them, but they almost led us Defenders to ruin."
"If we hadn’t reversed the situation at the critical moment, this land would have been destroyed long ago; thus, Mr. Qin asking us to believe in Emperor Xuanwu of the Daqian Kingdom, we simply cannot."
Another leader stepped out, stating: "Though Mr. Qin is a Savior, the one capable of rewriting the situation as per prophecy, such absurd decisions we simply cannot accept."
Everyone remained silent, those against spoke one after another.
The general meaning was they respected Qin An’s identity, but held doubts towards his decisions, not entirely agreeing with every decision the Savior made as prophecy claimed.
Zhong Mucheng’s cold sweat gradually emerged, trickling down his forehead to his chin, falling to the ground, splashing a spray of water.
He felt the situation had gotten out of hand.
Their dissatisfaction was vocal but why display it thus?
No matter how dissatisfied, one ought to speak with some tact; expressing so bluntly, how would Mr. Qin handle it?
Zhong Mucheng felt uneasy, cautiously observing Qin An’s complexion.
Yet he found Qin An’s expression remarkably calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhong Mucheng was slightly stunned, thought Qin An must be contemplating some solutions, remained still for now.
Qin An pondered slightly, then pointed towards three people: "You three should be the strongest among those dissatisfied, I just heard you have set a test for me, if passed, then follow my decision."
"If that’s the case, then state your test. I’ve always been direct, if achievable then I will do it; if not, then this matter shall be considered finished. What do you think?"
To Qin An, since discussions had reached this point, there was no room for discretion.
Clearly stating his thoughts was better than using subtle phrasing.
Everyone focused their gaze on the three Qin An pointed out.
The three were indifferent.
These three were the most powerful leaders within the Forbidden Areas, leaders of the opposing faction.
The three exchanged looks, said no more, and stepped forward together.
Yang Sufeng of the Withered Wood Forbidden Land spoke first: "Mr. Qin, it’s not that we dismiss your Savior status, but having passed such a long time, as this current situation was arduously secured by us Defenders, only then does a Savior suddenly emerge, naturally we have some disbelief."
Xu Rulin of the Bright Forbidden Land continued: "Indeed, as Yang brother mentioned earlier, Mr. Qin wants to be the Savior, wants our recognition, then at least show some real skill, otherwise mere prophecy alone may not suffice for this position."
Jiang Anping of the Red Cloud Forbidden Land said flatly: "I agree with both brothers, Mr. Qin wants to stand as the Savior, hence he must have such capacity."
"But mere responsibility is not enough, if Mr. Qin in this Unity Realm Initial Mastery Level wants to convince us to help the Emperor of Daqian Kingdom, it’s quite child’s play."
Their words inspired agreement among the opposing leaders, seeming very convinced.
Qin An nodded slightly, stating: "Alright, since you three stepped forward and chose to speak so directly, then I won’t beat around the bush."
"Tell me now what your test is; if I pass your test, can this matter be facilitated?"
Yang Sufeng spoke first: "Naturally, as for the test, it’s simple, Mr. Qin might not know, we three can jointly perform a combined attack array, if executed by us three, its power will be exceedingly strong, called the Array of Ten Thousand Demons Slain."
"Mr. Qin is at Unity Realm Initial Mastery; we’ll compress our strength to Initial Mastery level for a battle with you; if you can triumph, not only do you earn our acknowledgment, but we’ll even present you a grand gift."
Qin An raised an eyebrow slightly: "What grand gift?"
Yang Sufeng reached into his sleeve, pulling out a wooden embroidered box: "This is what all in the Unity Realm desire, an item of supreme foundations for the next realm."
