As long as we find the anchor of the Book of Changes...
He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the entire Happiness Community.
At this moment, most of the people present were strangers or neighbors. Although there were many acquaintances, if Zhou Yiwang really had an incarnation here, he would definitely not choose ordinary people.
Of the martial arts experts who came to capture him, only Tang Shengzong had met him before, so it shouldn't be him...
Chai Haotian can also be ruled out, because he is the city lord of Jingcheng, and his identity is too sensitive. If he has any problems, Gao Wenyuan will definitely notice...
Shen Qian's gaze swept across the crowd below again, and there was only one girl among them who could be considered friendly. It was probably not Huo Ling'er... because, as it turned out, all of Zhou Yi Wang's incarnations were male, and Huo Ling'er and Shen Qian also had an ambiguous relationship.
If Huo Ling'er is also an incarnation of King Zhou Yi, that's just too far-fetched.
It's impossible for a Martial King to transform into a young girl and be all lovey-dovey with Shen Qian, right?
If Zhou Yiwang can really lower himself to that extent, then I'll accept the consequences.
"No... I don't suspect anyone..."
The sinking man, whose consciousness was being swallowed up, was somewhat anxious.
A male... martial artist... must be someone relatively familiar with me to be here...
Suddenly, Shen Qian remembered something.
He remembered that he was not alone when he went up to the rooftop. If he remembered correctly, there should be another person on the rooftop right now.
Frozen in the starlight, Shen Qian turned around with difficulty and immediately saw the man standing in the corner of the rooftop, staring at him with a look of astonishment.
“Song Ye…”
He uttered a name that had become somewhat unfamiliar in a low voice.
The man in the corner paused, then took a few steps forward and asked cautiously, "Shen Qian, are you alright? What are these starlight...?"
Shen Qian stared intently at the other person, momentarily unsure of what to do.
Song Ye is a captain in the Jingcheng Police Warriors South Branch. Before he was arrested for killing a scavenger, it was the other party who took his statement.
Afterwards, due to various entanglements, Song Ye could be considered one of the few friends in Jingcheng society before he was slept.
His younger brother, Song Ben, served in the Southwest Army. He was killed on the way back from Mingcheng when he was escorting Shen Qian and others.
Could such a man be the embodiment of the Zhou Yi King?
Shen Qian was unaware that, at least in the past, he had never discovered anything wrong with the other party.
But when all the impossibilities are eliminated, this seems to become the only possibility.
He had some status, but not high status; he had some strength, but not great strength. In Jingcheng, a city with hundreds of thousands of residents, he was just an inconspicuous ordinary person. Even Gao Wenyuan would not have paid attention to such a person.
"Shenqian, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Shen Qian was staring at him without saying a word, Song Ye hesitated and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
At this moment, Shen Qian's consciousness was becoming increasingly weak, and darkness was constantly squeezing into his soul. He knew he could no longer hesitate, so he barely mustered his last bit of strength and lunged forward, punching Song Ye in the throat.
Although Shen Qian was only a beginner martial artist at this time, his combat strength was close to that of a high-level martial artist, while Song Ye only had the strength of a mid-level martial artist. Given his own level, it was absolutely impossible for him to dodge Shen Qian's sudden killing move.
Shen Qian didn't know what the consequences would be if he mistook Song Ye for someone else and actually killed him, but at this point he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Song Ye's expression turned to astonishment, mixed with a hint of anger. He shouted, "Shen Qian, what are you doing!"
But Shen Qian was moving too fast and showed no sign of stopping. In the blink of an eye, his fist was about to touch Song Ye's throat.
In that instant, Song Ye's expression suddenly changed, from surprise and anger to indifference and helplessness.
"You actually found it..."
"Song Ye" shook his head, and with a light flick of his sleeve, deftly neutralized Shen Qian's deadly attack.
At the same time, Shen Qian felt the suffocation from the depths of his soul suddenly ease, and he was able to breathe freely again.
Conversely, everything around them froze, including the powerful figures in mid-air and the residents watching in the Happiness Community; they were all frozen in place, as if time had stopped.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qian was overjoyed, knowing that his guess was correct. Zhou Yi Wang might be able to reverse time and space, but if he wanted to steal his own destiny, he had to do so silently, which was due to the rules of the "path of destiny".
Once the anomaly is detected, the theft process will cease.
“I initially thought you rose to prominence because of the ‘spark,’ but now it seems your own talent is quite good as well, as you discovered the coincidence of ‘fate’ in such a short time.”
"Song Ye" said with a smile.
"Coincidence?" Shen Qian frowned.
"This is one of the necessary conditions for using the 'Way of Destiny'; conversely, its absence is its loophole and weakness."
The King of Zhouyi patiently explained, “There is no absolutely invincible ‘Tao’ in this world. Fate is unpredictable. Only the unseen fate is fate. When you discover the carefully arranged incarnation, it is equivalent to seeing fate, and this Tao will collapse on its own.”
Shen Qian was stunned as he listened, and could only marvel at the peculiarity of the Dao of Destiny. He could not fight against King Zhou Yi's "Dao" in a normal way, but similarly, King Zhou Yi could not steal his destiny by brute force.
"Brother Song...when did you become my incarnation?"
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked.
"Hehe, this was just a chess piece I casually placed during my travels in Jingcheng more than ten years ago. At the time, I only had a feeling about it, but I never expected that this piece would almost play such a big role. What a pity..."
