Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1340 - 767: Heavenly List and Black List (Shao Siming, Chen Yu +1) (2)

But... where is Yan Jingan?

Sui Yi turned over the page and found records of various masters’ life stories. Although not entirely accurate, they were quite detailed. The capability of Sky Asking Tower was truly frightening...

Flipping through the pages, Sui Yi suddenly saw a note on one page.

——The Heavenly List is updated every hundred years, while the Black List changes every ten years, and might not be 100% accurate. However, it is certain that these people’s strength is indeed at the upper stage. Moreover, there are only two kinds of people who can escape our Sky Asking Tower’s ranking survey and be independently ranked elsewhere. First, those who have been missing or have kept a low profile for a hundred years, and second, those with special identities.

What special identities?

Sui Yi pondered, then turned another page....

"Four Great Districts’ City Lords.... East District Governor Ye Gucheng, South District Governor Xiong Ba, West District Governor Zhang Sanfeng, North District Governor Qing Zheng, "

No mention of the City Lord.

Sui Yi looked at the names of the Four Great Districts’ City Lords... thinking inwardly, these were figures with considerable command abilities in the original world. Whether it was Ye Gucheng or Xiong Ba, they were both great overlords who dominated regions, and Zhang Sanfeng was also a sect leader who influenced the entire Taoist Sect. As for Lord Qing Zheng... Sui Yi suddenly recalled hearing this name before, referring to those scoundrels she encountered when she first arrived, mentioning that this area was under Lord Qing Zheng’s jurisdiction?

This place is in the North District.

Sui Yi closed the book and quietly breathed out a sigh.

"Thankfully, Eastern is in the rankings too."

However, Eastern’s ranking was higher than she imagined.

Second on the Black List.

She probably recovered much of her strength, but this world itself also has ’bloodsucking’ abilities. I wonder what her peak strength was.

Sui Yi fell into contemplation....

After a while, Sui Yi suddenly heard noises outside.

Sui Yi picked up a chronicle detailing the history of the Lost Lands and went outside, seeing Yan Jingan talking with a man.

This man was unremarkable in appearance, about thirty-four years old, dressed simply in a green shirt, organizing books, while Yan Jingan leaned against a table, casually holding a book...

Their appearances were undoubtedly very different, but Sui Yi could sense that Yan Jingan and the other were very balanced in aura.

The same kind?

Sui Yi stepped forward.

The man glanced at Sui Yi, "One book?"

"Hmm"

He raised an eyebrow and said, "She indeed knows you well to have guessed correctly."

Hmm? Sui Yi looked at Yan Jingan, who made no comment, saying lightly, "The quality of books here is not much, hardly worth her attention; managing to choose a chronicle from you is already a stretch."

The man, unoffended, laughed, "Last time you came, you didn’t say so... but since you claim she writes excellently, why not bring her work for me to see?"

Sui Yi felt these two were old acquaintances. Since being here, they probably couldn’t talk freely, so she said, "I’ll go buy something outside...."

Saying that, she walked out.

The man leaned against the chair, watching Sui Yi’s silhouette, seemingly deep in thought.

Yan Jingan did not lift her eyes, calmly replying, "Why would she write books for others to see?"

Others, highlighting a clear sense of detachment.

"You still fiercely protect, but maybe few would make you do so... Your two cherished disciples have been causing quite a stir lately..."

"They’ve grown too, can’t be controlled anymore, let them cause a ruckus on their own."

Yan Jingan’s tone was faint, and she looked at the Study Room Sect Master, saying, "I feel these days are fraught with mysterious changes, coinciding with the ten-year Black List overlapping with the centennial Heavenly List..., things might get chaotic then..."

"Hmm"

The man looked outside at the bustling crowd, saying, "I can feel it.... the Instigator seems ready to act... more intensely than ever before."

He paused, turning to Yan Jingan, saying, "By then, neither of us knows how much strength will be taken from us...."

Then silence fell.

Losing cultivation wasn’t what concerned them most.

Rather... why is the other party seizing so much cultivation, what kind of person can digest such enormous power, and what are they plotting...

Concern for the world was probably the greatest reason they maintained contact over these years.

Of course... this man didn’t mention Sui Yi, as he saw Yan Jingan didn’t wish to speak.

If she did not want to say, why ask.

For a long while.

Yan Jingan spoke a sentence.

"Sky Asking Tower seems to be looking for Elder Tianji"

"Elder Tianji’s strength is extraordinary; they can’t catch him.... Does he supposedly have a granddaughter?"

"Scouts report she fled to the North District"

The man squinted his eyes, "It’s not suitable for you to act, I will."

"Aren’t you worried that acting will expose you?"

Yan Jingan looked at the man, smiling lightly, "Since your sister-in-law left, you no longer concern yourself with Jianghu affairs... It’s a pity a Void-breaking arrives at this place.... Finally settling in peace, if you act again... those people won’t let you have peace again."

Truthfully, only one person in this world could be treated so cordially by Yan Jingan...

"Are you mocking me?" Lang Fanyun stacked the sorted books and stood up holding them, smiling, "Don’t forget, you are also involved... not to mention you have Pang Ban hanging behind you, now you recklessly have another handsome man by your side, even if he doesn’t mind, those below him may not be content."

If one falls into a pit, all fall together.

No one laughs at another.

But mentioning Pang Ban.... Yan Jingan’s expression turned somewhat helpless, "Lang Fanyun, you’ve increasingly lost your manly charm from back then, using this matter to mock me? It’s not as if you don’t know my relationship with Pang Ban is far from the rumors.... As for Sui Yi... can’t you see she is a woman?"

"I can see, but it doesn’t mean others can, frankly speaking, she doesn’t seem like an ordinary woman" Lang Fanyun placed the book in the shelf, suddenly asking, "Where is she?"
