Destiny is ashes

Chapter 122: Escape from the Black Market (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xue Sang!)

Before, when traveling through the sewers, An Jing did not waste time, but tried his best to find relevant information from Ms. Nianqin's watch - there was a name on the watch - to complete the full picture of this "True Talisman Fighting Incident".

At first, An Jing didn’t think that he could get any valuable information from it.

Even bosses who do business away from home often carry several different mobile phones to communicate with different customers through channels, and important information will be recorded on some devices with higher confidentiality and will never be left on the "personal terminal" they carry with them.

As a smuggler who often does secret business, and who may even be related to the rebel group called the Guiyi Army, Nian Qin, no matter how careless he is, should not leave anything suspicious in his terminal, right?
But who knew it really existed!

However, this news is not in the watch.

At that time, An Jing, who was reminded by the sword spirit, contracted his muscles and exerted a little force to crush the metal straps on both sides of the watch, and an extremely thin "silk symbol" fell out of it.

There was nothing else on the silk talisman, just eight words written directly.

——A visitor from the wilderness, brown earth and golden flames!

If An Jing had not met Boyan, of course he would not understand the meaning of these eight words, but after meeting Boyan, how could he not know?

She was actually the 'contact person' in the black market who met Boyan, a monk from the Guiyi Army!
Moreover, Xiaozheshan belongs to Shouyangshan Group, which is consistent with the news of friction between Luofu and Shouyangshan outside.

However, it is still unknown at present whether Nianqin is a spy of the Guiyi Army lurking in Xiaozhe Mountain, putting the blame on the Shouyang Mountain Group for this incident, or whether he is a loyal official of Shouyang Mountain who has received instructions from the group and is secretly in contact with the Guiyi Army.

Identity is so complicated.

In any case, this is why Nianqin did not leave in time even though she was attacked by Fengdu Guards, but stayed in the store.

Then, the silk talisman seemed to sense the remaining aura of Bo Yan on An Jing's body and spontaneously combusted and disappeared - if it was still in the metal strap of the watch and Nian Qin met Bo Yan, the temperature of the spontaneous combustion would naturally remind her that she had met her target.

But for some reason, Bo Yan didn't go to find Nian Qin for such a long time... Maybe there was something wrong with the intelligence between the two sides, or even there was a traitor in either organization.

Nianqin's death was most likely caused by a sneak attack by her own people. So even though she was quite powerful and had talismans, firearms and other trump cards, she didn't use any of them.

The reason why Nianqin paid so much attention to herself was probably because in her eyes, An Jing was also a "visitor from the wilderness", which might be related to her mission objectives.

Obviously, the struggle over the True Talisman was very intense, and even the Purple Mansion monks of the Guiyi Army offered themselves as bait. However, Bo Yan, who was theoretically very safe, was still exposed, and An Jing was also dragged into it.

This means that there must be hidden players within the Guiyi Army.

"Spy among spy? You have my hidden agents, and I have your hidden agents. Are we infiltrating each other and diluting each other's intelligence?"

An Jing felt a headache: "This is a mess. Fortunately, I am a cultivator from another world. If I want, I can leave this mess."

But there are also many muddy waters in the Huaixu Realm. Thinking that the relationship between the Dachen Demon Cult is also like this, it makes people feel dizzy - if this world is a simple worldview of black and white, it would be great, but unfortunately it is not simple.

After An Jing got the real talisman, he naturally wanted to figure out the whole story behind it, but the more he explored, the more complicated it became - he was unwilling to leave according to the map left by Nian Qin because there was a traitor. The people from the Sky Monitoring Bureau were probably already squatting by the exit, ready to catch anyone who came out!
He remembered all of this in his heart: "Anyway, Fengdu Guards, Guiyi Division... and all the hidden traitors behind the scenes, I have remembered them all!"

But then again, wealth and honor are achieved through risk.

Being involved in the 'Tianxuan Zhenfu Incident' this time, although An Jing was in danger several times, his gains were also extremely rich.

Excluding the 'two six-qi lotus platforms', 'a speeding talisman', 'a qi-boosting pill' and 'a self-destructive drone' that had been damaged and used.

Today, An Jing still has the 'Six-Energy Lotus Platform and Ten Sub-machines', 'Three Self-Destructing UAVs', 'Field Survival Kit', 'Two Energy-Boosting Pills', 'A Speed-Saving Talisman', 'A Body Armor Jade Pendant' and nearly six taels of jade steel.

This does not include the sword box and other weapons that An Jing originally had, as well as the 'Tianxuan Zhenfu' he obtained later, and the 'Evergreen Wood Heart' and 'Charging Second-Level Spirit Stone' stripped from the Fengdu Armor.

Each of these two things is probably more expensive than the above combined! It is just that it cannot be converted into instant combat power for the time being. Although the "bulletproof raincoat" and "gas mask" on his body were not of much use just now, they are still magic tools after all. In the Huaixu Realm, they are useful for dealing with both the demons and the demon cult members.

Oh yes, there is also a 'stack of Qingfeng Talismans' given by Boss Jilu!
Thinking of this, An Jing cursed himself in his heart for not thinking carefully enough. He actually forgot about this talisman that could remove odors and conceal breath - no wonder the talisman burned as soon as it met him, because Bo Yan's breath was still lingering on him!

But it is not too late now. He immediately took out a Qingfeng Talisman and slightly activated his spiritual energy.

Immediately, the talisman paper turned into ashes, and a breeze swept across An Jing's body, sweeping away all the dust and the stench of blood!

"Now you can go with peace of mind."

After sniffing, An Jing confirmed that there was no smell on him anymore, and then he continued on his way with satisfaction: "I don't know what the boss is like now. He has more self-defense methods than me. It is very likely that he escaped before the fight in Zifu."

"See you again when we are destined."

It’s a pity that there is not enough time now. An Jing has no time to test the effectiveness of the Tianxuan Talisman. Moreover, it seems that he has to bury the talisman into his own flesh and blood and infuse it with the original essence before it can work.

Any slight use of the original essence will affect one's lifespan. An Jing will not use it before he understands its specific effects and side effects.

If Boyan had not lost an arm and was poisoned, he would not be willing to use his original essence to activate it.

Regarding this point, the sword spirit was quite proactive.

"This true talisman is related to the way of life. If it is not placed in the corresponding formation or ritual, it will naturally need to be nourished by the essence of life."

He is an ancient immortal sword after all. Even if he is not proficient in formations, his knowledge of the Tianxuan True Talisman is deeper than many people. "An Jing, you are not strong enough now, and you don't have enough time to nourish it. But when you defeat the Huaixu Demon Sect, I will use the 'Evergreen Wood Heart' to help you nourish your energy and improve it to the level of energy as fast as a tide."

"In this way, you can use your own essence to try to connect with the 'Taibai Evil Qi'... After the mark is placed, I have a way to bring it into the Sea of ​​Gods and help you refine it."

“By then, it will be clear what its specific effects are and how to use it.”

An Jing exhaled and said seriously: "Thank you, Fu Xie."

"You and I share the same destiny, and we are just helping each other." The sword spirit responded with a smile: "Not to mention, it and I are both ancient artifacts. If you refine it, I may be able to remember something."

At this moment, An Jing, who was constantly moving forward, had arrived at a sewer very close to the ground, and could even faintly sense the huge changes in spiritual energy in the distance.

This shows that the battle between the two Zifu has not yet been decided.

In other words, they also have a "consensus" to use the war as an excuse to block all channels around the black market.

"There's no one here."

An Jing practiced the Qingjing Sword View to enhance his perception, avoided several populated streets, and came to a sewer under an alley.

He made sure that the alley was sparsely populated, so he lifted the manhole cover without hesitation and left the sewer.

After leaving, An Jing immediately used a Qingfeng Talisman to clear away his own scent.

Afterwards, he turned on Nian Qin's watch, looked at the map to confirm his location, and strode towards the edge of Xuan Ye City.

Soon, An Jing blended into the crowd on the street, hurried all the way, and arrived at an unmanned unfinished building on the edge of Xuanye City.

At this moment, he finally escaped from the black market completely.
