Chapter 2759 - 2756: Silencing the Witness

"Ah?" An Qi was stunned, "Why go to a place like that?"

"You don’t need to ask questions, just take us there. Once we get the results we want, I’ll naturally let you go."

Hearing that he would be released, An Qi immediately exclaimed with joy, "Really? You’ll really let me go?"

"Yes, as long as we get the results we want!" Shui Nian nodded and smiled.

"Alright, although my memory is a bit hazy, I still vaguely remember the location. I’ll take you there now."

An Qi strapped his big bag on his back and prepared to set off.

Ling Feng had already summoned Little Fei, then grabbed An Qi and tossed him onto Little Fei’s back. Seeing An Qi’s terrified face, he said, "Still relying on walking? If we walk, when will we ever get there?"

An Qi had never seen a creature like Little Fei before and his eyes were filled with amazement and curiosity.

Shui Nian turned to Shui Kai and said, "You go back and continue guarding. If anything unusual happens, send someone to report to Clan Leader Shui Kong. I’ll first go investigate the place."

"Yes!" Shui Kai shouted loudly, "Please, Great Elder, be vigilant. The folks from the Clan of Darkness are very crafty!"

Shui Nian nodded with a smile and said, "Don’t worry, no matter how crafty they are, they can’t fool me! You go back now!"

Watching Shui Kai run back, Shui Nian nodded lightly, then summoned the Shui Demon Beast and flew into the sky with Ling Feng and the others.

An Qi, who had just flown into the sky, was still a bit scared. After all, his status in the Clan of Darkness had been extremely low, with no cultivation ability, so he had never experienced the feeling of flying. It was his first time being so high up.

After flying for a while, An Qi finally dared to look down. He cautiously peered out to see the mountains below and nodded in admiration, "Wow, it’s really grand. I can actually fly this high!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but retort, "You really think you’re here for sightseeing? Quickly point the way, no tricks!"

An Qi turned and laughed, "Hehe, sorry, got a bit excited. I’ll guide you now,"

"It’s just around the mountain ahead, then before the river, then turn left, behind that mountain..."

Following An Qi’s directions, Ling Feng drove Little Fei to fly, but the more he listened, the more something felt wrong. He looked at An Qi with suspicion and said unfriendly,

"Are you sure you’re not leading us astray? When did you come here? You’ve passed through so many places, do you really expect me to believe that with your skinny body, you actually managed to traverse these mountains and rivers?"

An Qi laughed, "It’s true, I may not be able to cultivate, but I run very fast and, to do business, I certainly can’t afford to waste time. We’re almost there, don’t worry, I’m not lying,"

"I warn you not to try wasting our time. Even if Shui Nian intends to let you go, I won’t spare you!" Ling Feng glared at An Qi and said.

"Of course, of course, how dare I deceive you, we’re almost there, after those two mountains, then the plain ahead!"

Ling Feng turned his head to urge Little Fei to speed up, and they surged through the clouds and mist at a rapid pace, frightening An Qi, who crouched on the ground, afraid to even lift his head.

Finally reaching the plain An Qi mentioned, Ling Feng had Little Fei lower his flying altitude, and An Qi pointed to a patch of black land and said, "That’s it, over there. That’s where we came across."

Shui Nian and Ling Feng landed on the ground, approaching the "black mark" seen from the sky, and finally realized it wasn’t black soil but a charred-looking black array, having burnt the plants to charcoal.

The center of this array had an eye-like pattern, seemingly watching Ling Feng and the others, sending a chill down their spines.

Shui Nian approached the array but remained silent for a while.

Ling Feng tugged An Qi over to him and watched Shui Nian in silence, then asked, "How is it, any discovery? Have you seen this array before?"

Shui Nian finally shook his head and said helplessly, "I’ve never seen such a bizarre array. In the centuries-long enmity between our Shui Clan and the Clan of Darkness, I’ve never seen anyone use such an array,"

"But I’m sure this person didn’t lie; this place should indeed be their space traversal landing point, and this array is the trace left after the space traversal,"

"If you look carefully, you can see this array consists of two layers, coinciding with what he just said about traversing twice, once for An Qi and another time for the other members of the Clan of Darkness."

"But what good does this do? We still don’t know where Ling Yao is or where the members of the Clan of Darkness are?" Ling Feng said deeply, then turned to An Qi, gripping his black robe and questioning,

"Do you have any useful information, otherwise why should I spare you? Now, tell me where your clansmen are, where they plan to go. You came with them, I don’t believe you really don’t know,"

Ling Feng shook An Qi, but An Qi only shook his head, repeatedly saying "I really don’t know," as Ling Feng’s temper flared up, ready to act.

Song Ruozhao shook his head and said, "Ling Feng, don’t get upset, this guy probably really doesn’t know. I didn’t sense any strong aura from him, and since those Clan of Darkness members sneaked in to catch the Shui Clan by surprise,"

"Then those mission contents, meeting points, and the return method are certainly not something this guy would know. Forcing him will be futile; it’s better to have your pet send some insects to search around."

Upon hearing the narrator’s calm words, Ling Feng gradually calmed down, released An Qi’s black robe, and said in annoyance, "Useless guy!"

Then Ling Feng began communicating with Little Fei.

An Qi looked at Shui Nian examining the array with hope but cautiously asked, "Great Elder, can I leave now?"

Shui Nian straightened up, glanced at An Qi, and then nodded, "You’re of no use, go ahead!"

"Thank you, thank you!" An Qi immediately expressed his gratitude, then turned and left with his bag.

Watching An Qi’s departing figure, Shui Nian suddenly gathered power in his hand and shot a water cannonball straight at An Qi’s head!
