"Task?"
Xu Xiwang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes."
Who is the mastermind behind this?
"...It's...a person wearing a mask."
"......"
"explain!"
Xu Xiwang increased the pressure on his hand.
"Ancient castle in the distant mountains".
"I'll spare your dog's life."
Xu hoped to throw it away.
The man clutched his stomach, curled up on the ground, groaning in pain, not daring to utter another word.
Xu Xiwang flagged down a car and headed straight for the ancient castle in the distant mountains. A vast castle stood there, shrouded in darkness, dark and eerie.
Xu Xiwang got off the car and walked towards the castle.
"Halt. May I ask who you are looking for?" The bodyguard at the door asked respectfully, bowing deeply.
"Find someone who wears a mask."
Xu Xiwang said calmly.
The bodyguards at the door immediately became alert and drew their guns.
"You'd better not move! Otherwise..." Xu Xiwang narrowed his eyes, "or else, I'll let you experience what it means to wish you were dead."
"You audacious madman, this is not a place for you to run wild. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Oh..."
Xu Xiwang sneered, his eyes filled with frost.
A sharp aura made the bodyguards feel a sense of danger.
"You are courting death."
As Xu Xiwang approached step by step, with each step, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, pressing down on one's heart.
"Go in and announce that the person he's looking for has arrived."
Xu Xu spoke indifferently, her eyes filled with ruthless decisiveness.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard at the door shuddered, deeply shocked. Although the old man appeared to be weak and powerless, he exuded an irresistible aura of authority, as if he were born a king.
"Okay, okay! Please wait a moment!"
One of the bodyguards quickly turned and ran into the castle.
Less than a minute later, he rushed out again and respectfully said to Xu Xiwang, "Sir, please come with me. That lord invites you in."
Xu Xiwang nodded slightly, then stepped into the castle.
The castle is luxuriously decorated and elegantly furnished, yet it is solemn and imposing, giving people a sense of oppression.
Welcome to the Ancient Castle in the Distant Mountains.
Xu Xiwang had just sat down when he heard a voice behind him.
He turned his head and saw a masked figure slowly walking down the stairs.
The figure was dressed in a black dress, with long hair cascading down to her waist, obscuring most of her face, but unable to hide her captivating purple eyes.
It was obvious at a glance that she was an absolutely beautiful woman, but she was wearing a mask to cover her true face.
"I heard you sent someone looking for me?"
Xu Xiwang's hoarse voice rang out, but it was filled with a strong sense of threat.
"good."
The woman in the black dress spoke slowly, her purple eyes shimmering and captivating.
Why are you looking for me? And how did you know my whereabouts?
"It's very simple..."
The woman in black raised her head, revealing an extremely wicked smile. "Xu Tianming, you know him, right?"
Xu Xiwang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Xu Tianming is the name of his second uncle!
"Do you know where my second uncle is?"
Xu Xiwang spoke coldly.
The woman in black smiled but didn't speak. Instead, she picked up a glass of red wine from the table beside her, gently swirled it, and the red liquid rippled, reflecting a bewitching light that captivated everyone.
"Who exactly are you?"
Xu Xiwang squinted his eyes.
"you guess."
She raised the red wine in her hand, took a sip, and her posture was elegant and noble, as if a queen had descended to earth.
"I don't like guessing."
Xu Xiwang's aura gradually turned cold, and a murderous aura spread from him.
The woman in the black dress chuckled softly, downing her drink in one gulp. "What a pity for you, once such a handsome young man, now so aged."
She gently traced Xu Xiwang's cheek with her fingers, looking regretful.
"Just say what you want to say, don't waste my time."
Xu Xiwang's voice was cold and sarcastic.
The woman in the black dress paused for a moment, then put down her cup and smiled, "My name is An Ran. Of course, I have another name that you may have heard of."
She paused and continued, "They call me the prophet."
"What? A prophet?"
Xu Xiwang's pupils suddenly contracted; he had heard this name before!
Rumor has it that there is a mysterious prophet in the Western world who can predict the future and everything that will happen. He has even predicted the future of a head of state, which is why he has aroused the fear of powerful figures from all sides.
Xu Xiwang had heard Tianji Shengjun talk about the Dao of Heavenly Secrets before, and later heard that there was a prophet in the West who could predict people's fate.
"what you up to?"
Xu Xiwang looked at the woman in the black dress warily. She didn't know the other woman's purpose, which was why she was so cautious.
"I want to work with you."
The woman in the black dress raised an eyebrow.
"oh?"
Xu Xiwang countered with great interest, "Cooperation?"
"That's right. I've been speculating about the future and discovered an incredibly powerful force within you. This force can distort the future and even alter the timeline. All of this stems from your recent trip to the West. Moreover, I've heard that the Celestial Saint Lord imparted to you the secrets of heaven, so I sent people ahead to await you. How about we cooperate and explore these secrets together?"
