Just as he was wondering whether or not to go see her, the Dark Gang sent him another message: "I mean no harm. I know that you didn't kill Yin Huan. It was Zhu Yanqing."
Since that's the case, there's no harm in going to see him.
After all, they are the only group of indigenous people on this grassland who, like them, use props.
She replied to the message: "Where should we meet?"
The gang sent an address, and Lao Si glanced at it. "It's a very open place, not easy to set up an ambush."
This is the underworld gang expressing goodwill towards them.
Yun consulted several people for their opinions.
Fourth Brother: "I don't care, I'll listen to the eldest brother anyway."
Bai Yu: "I'm the same as Lao Si."
Xiao Zhen...
Yun didn't even bother to ask.
She looked at Lü Ping one last time.
While studying the astrolabe, Lü Ping casually replied, "What's the use of me objecting alone? You guys still have to go, and I'm quite curious about this secret gang. It wouldn't hurt to meet them; maybe they just happen to know how to use this astrolabe!"
After agreeing on their plans, the group headed towards the location given to them by the Dark Gang.
When I arrived, there were only two men standing there.
Upon seeing them approach, he smiled and nodded in greeting. The man at the head of the group introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Jiang Zifan, and I am the head of the Dark Gang. This is Wu Ming, a hall master of my Dark Gang."
Yun Jian nodded in response: "Yun Jian".
Bai Yu, Lao Si, and the others behind him also introduced themselves.
"I wonder what Chief Jiang wants to discuss with me?"
Jiang Zifan glanced to his side, and Wu Ming took out a mirror and showed everyone a scene without saying a word.
They could vaguely see that the image in the mirror was where they were, except that in the mirror, the grass was withered and yellow, and the cattle and sheep were thin and bony, lying on the ground because they had no food, and it was unclear whether they had fainted or starved to death.
The people on the grassland were panting heavily, listless, as if they could be blown over by the wind. The moon in the sky was an abnormal blood red.
Immediately afterwards, the world in the mirror collapsed inch by inch, revealing endless darkness. Humans and cattle all fell into the endless void, their fate unknown.
Yun Jian asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is this?"
Jiang Zifan: "Wu Ming's mirror is called the Realm of Peeping. It can occasionally show some scenes that happen in the future. What I just showed you is the final fate of the grassland."
He paused, then sighed heavily, "By then, we'll probably all be dead."
"So you called us here to discuss how to change this outcome?"
Jiang Zifan nodded, "I think you are not the same kind of people as those idiots from Fengshen Shengtian. You have strength and can listen to advice, unlike those stubborn idiots who only care about power struggles."
Yun laughed, "Why do you think we don't want to compete for power?"
Jiang Zifan smiled and then had Wu Ming play a video clip, which was the scene where Bai Yu had stated at the entrance of Shengtian that he was not taking sides. "If you want to compete for power, you can use the power of one side to eliminate dissidents, but you did not. And if I'm not mistaken, you should already have nearly a hundred divine flowers. With these resources, you could build a power, but you don't. So, you are different from them."
Yun Jian remained silent for a moment.
After a long pause, he finally asked, "How can I believe that what you're saying is true?"
Jiang Zifan laughed and said, "The fact that you are not taking sides is a sign from the Mirror of Probing. If you don't believe me, I can show you another prophetic scene. Once it actually happens, you can decide whether or not to come to me."
After saying that, he turned his head and gestured to Wu Ming.
The voyeuristic realm reappeared, but this time, the main characters in the scene were them and the charred corpse.
The charred corpses, obscuring the sky, hovered overhead. Bai Yu clutched his arm, his expression pained.
Black threads could be vaguely seen emerging from his arm. Mr. Luo sneered, "Once you're hit by my threads, no matter what method you use, you're powerless to save him! If you don't want Bai Yu to become a charred corpse, Yun Jian, bring all the divine flowers to Sheng Tian to find me."
The scene slowly ends with Mr. Luo's burst of laughter.
After seeing this, the expressions on their faces all turned rather unpleasant.
Bai Yu subconsciously covered the spot where he was injured in the mirror, and laughed awkwardly twice. "This prophecy must be false. How could someone as wise and powerful as me fall for it?"
The fourth brother hesitated for a moment, glanced at Bai Yu, and then said nothing.
Xiao Zhen still looked at Bai Yu with disdain, but silently took two steps closer to him.
Yun Jian suddenly thought of a question, "According to you, anything that the Mirror of Peeping foretells will definitely happen?"
"Not necessarily. If you interfere too much with the foreshadowing, things may go astray or not happen at all. Good luck."
After saying that, he added, "I'll wait for you to contact me."
Having finished speaking, Jiang Zifan bowed slightly to Yun Jian and the others as a farewell.
"Wait a minute!" Lü Ping suddenly called out.
Jiang Zifan stopped and turned to look at Lü Ping with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable. Could you please tell me how to use this astrological chart?"
When Jiang Zifan saw Lü Ping take out the astrolabe, his pupils contracted, and then he chuckled, "This astrolabe is a valuable item, the lifeblood of stargazers. Now that Miss Yun has it, don't return it. Don't sell it for any amount of divine flowers. If used properly, it can help avoid some disasters. As for how to use it, you only need to bind it to your blood."
Upon hearing this, Lü Ping glanced at Yun Jian hesitantly, unsure whether to believe him.
Yun Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang is so sincere, he probably wouldn't lie to you."
Lu Ping nodded, cut his finger with a knife, and dripped a drop of blood onto the astrolabe. Instantly, the astrolabe's luster changed; from its previous dullness, it gradually gained a metallic sheen.
Lu Ping looked up at the sky and, strangely enough, had a subtle feeling.
Jiang Zifan smiled. "It seems this gentleman is more compatible with this birth chart than the stargazer!"
After saying that, he left with Wu Ming.
Yun Jian and the others were left with heavy hearts.
Bai Yujian was a little downcast, but he didn't care and said, "Hey, don't worry. If things get bad, I'll just burrow into the ground. I don't believe that Mr. Luo's thin thread can catch up to me and prick me in the ground. Don't worry, I can escape faster than anyone else!"
The fourth brother looked at Bai Yu, still worried, "Brother Yu, when the time comes, you must quickly burrow into the ground, don't worry about anything else, if you encounter a charred corpse, just dive down!"
Bai Yu pressed his fingers. "No need to remind me. I value my life so much, I just went down on instinct."
Lu Ping looked at Bai Yu, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Sheng Tian.
Luo Tangping and the stargazer were like intelligence gathering machines, recounting the situation on the grassland to Mr. Luo in detail.
Suddenly, the stargazer coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over the ground.
Luo Tangping quickly asked, "What happened?"
"My horoscope has been claimed by someone else!" The stargazer clutched his chest, his face full of resentment.
