"Is it truly the will of Heaven to destroy the Xu family?"
Xu Qinghan's face was now filled with despair.
Because she sensed a terrifying energy emanating from behind her.
Although she was a favored daughter of heaven, she was only at the third level of the Divine Power Realm. Moreover, she had been constantly on the run from the Yinming Palace. Now, she had been chased all the way from the Southern Wilderness to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and her spiritual power was almost exhausted.
The scarred man was at the peak of the ninth level of the Profound Realm, and he was not weak among those of the same realm. His strength was far beyond what Xu Qinghan could currently withstand.
"Since fate decrees my death, I will not die!"
"If Heaven wants to destroy me, then I will defy Heaven!"
Xu Qinghan knew that she might really be at her wit's end, and only by fighting for her life could she have a sliver of a miracle. Without hesitation, she directly burned her own source energy, and the aura within her body surged instantly.
Burning one's source of power can, at best, damage that source, deplete one's potential, and cause one's cultivation level to stagnate.
In severe cases, the meridians may be severed, rendering the person useless.
Even if he manages to escape by chance, Xu Qinghan will never have any hope of taking revenge on the Yinming Palace in this lifetime.
However, just as Xu Qinghan was burning his life essence, preparing for a final gamble.
The space suddenly trembled, as if countless times and spaces overlapped. A white-clad figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qinghan, his whole body intertwined with immortal light, his Daoist charm rising, revealing an indescribable mysterious aura.
What is most striking is the purple mask worn on the face of the white-clad figure, making him appear like an unparalleled celestial emperor, ruling over all living beings and controlling all paths, exuding supreme nobility.
Yang An, following his intuition, looked at the girl in the light blue dress with a strange expression. Her face was filled with resentment, anger, and determination.
The girl looked extremely disheveled, like a wounded little animal. Bloodshot eyes and tear stains were clearly visible on her cheeks. Even her once flowing black hair was turning white at a visible speed, a result of the burning of her essence and the loss of her life force.
Xu Qingxue looked at Yang An, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, with a wary expression, while endless despair rose in her heart.
At this moment, the scarred man suddenly stopped his pursuit, looking warily at the mysterious man wearing a purple mask who had suddenly appeared in front of him, thinking to himself.
"Wearing a mask? Could he be a powerful figure from the underworld?"
Since the Underworld wiped out the Golden-Winged Roc clan in a single day, its prestige is now known to everyone in the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain.
Members of the Underworld always wear masks when they move around. Even the lowest-ranking member who wears a black mask is a powerful being in the Life and Death Realm.
As the reputation of the Underworld spread, many forces also conducted detailed intelligence work on it.
Members of the underworld wear three types of masks.
Black, silver, gold.
The scarred giant naturally had some basic knowledge of the underworld.
However, there has never been anyone wearing a purple mask.
It doesn't matter what kind of mask you wear.
Ever since this mysterious being stepped directly out of the void, the scarred man knew he was no match for this powerful figure.
However, Xu Qinghan also represents Dao soldiers and top-grade Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, so he was unwilling to give up just like that.
then...
"Senior, this woman is a wanted person by our Yinming Palace, a remnant of the Xu family, Xu Qinghan."
"I hope you can entrust this woman to me, senior. The Yinming Palace will certainly repay you handsomely."
The scarred man said somewhat nervously.
If anyone finds out that he is impersonating someone from the Yinming Palace, he will definitely die!
Although the Yinming Palace is a demonic force with no taboos, it is not a place that just anyone can join.
Similarly, not just anyone can impersonate someone.
"The Underworld Palace?"
Yang An found it somewhat laughable. If they were truly from the Yinming Palace, they would have turned around and left without hesitation.
As one of the twenty-four constellations, Haozai surely wouldn't be unaware of what a purple mask represents.
The Six Offices of Merit Officers have always been in charge of the transactions of the Treasure Pavilion. Although the heads of the Six Offices of Merit Officers are mysterious, they occasionally appear in front of various forces, and they wear purple masks.
Those top powers must have given their disciples some instructions.
However, outside of the top powers, some information is likely being blocked.
Not everyone hopes that the Underworld can develop smoothly. The Six Ministries of Merit and Clerk are currently the weakest in terms of strength. According to the speculation of various forces, the chief ministers of the Six Ministries of Merit and Clerk are even the younger generation of the Underworld.
Other forces would be happy to see it cause some trouble for the development of the underworld.
However, the scarred man clearly did not understand the implied meaning in Yang An's words. He only sensed that Yang An seemed somewhat puzzled, and secretly rejoiced.
"Yes, the Yinming Palace is one of the twenty-four palaces of the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain, and it is presided over by a sage."
"This woman is the one that the young master of Yinzhu Palace specifically requested."
"And the Yin Candle..."
Just as the scarred man was still explaining the power of the Yinming Palace, a chilling, towering sword pierced through him.
The scarred man's eyes still held a hint of astonishment and confusion, but no one could answer him.
"The Yinming Palace, Young Master Yin Zhu"
Yang An now understood why the girl in front of him was in such a miserable state, and even why she had suddenly decided to have this idea.
If he wasn't mistaken, the girl in front of him was probably another person with great fortune, but the kind of person with great fortune who was rather unlucky.
However, because of his own actions, he subtly altered some predetermined fates, causing a slight change in the life trajectory of this woman of destiny.
This girl... is no ordinary person.
It should be noted that even a chosen one with golden potential could not elicit a whimsical reaction from Yang An.
Looking at the stubborn girl standing before him, Yang An spoke calmly.
"I mean you no harm. You are a person of great fortune, and your life is not meant to end."
"If you wish to change your destiny, you may participate in the Fortune Auction at my Heaven and Earth Auction House. Here you will find items that can help you alter your fate, or even avenge your wrongs."
"Ten days from now, our Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce will hold another large-scale auction in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
Yang An ultimately did not choose to bring Xu Qinghan to the underworld.
In his view, Xu Qinghan's condition was too strange. A child of destiny with at least gold potential had nothing special about him. In fact, if he hadn't intervened, Xu Qinghan might have died right there.
If she happens to be a woman of destiny who relies on sacrifice, then Yang An will truly be devastated.
However, he still gave Xu Qinghan a chance.
"Thank you for saving my life, senior."
Xu Qinghan realized that the person wearing the mysterious purple mask was probably a mysterious being from the underworld, and immediately expressed his gratitude from afar.
Yang An nodded and pointed, and two streaks of light flew toward Xu Qinghan.
One stream of light entered Xu Qinghan's body directly, while another stream of light transformed into an invitation card, which was placed in Xu Qinghan's palm.
After doing all this, Yang An disappeared from the spot, leaving Xu Qinghan alone and stunned.
