Chapter 2253 - 645: Anpei’s Past and the Operation! (Part 5)

Pinchuan Huazi laughed, and Anpei Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Anpei Yutian gained a son and was overjoyed. In the following years, Anpei Lan continued to have little presence, his talent for the Yin Yang Technique was not high, and his personality was introverted, so Anpei Yutian simply abandoned his training.

A few years later, Anpei Feng’s twentieth birthday was approaching, which also meant he was about to officially become the Anpei Family Young Master.

Pinchuan Huazi and Anpei Feng would often wake up laughing from their dreams those days, however, the night before Anpei Feng’s birthday, Anpei Yutian fell asleep and never woke up.

Anpei Yutian’s death threw the Anpei Family into complete chaos. Pinchuan Huazi took the opportunity to rally factions, aiming to elevate Anpei Feng. Yet, the always quiet Anpei Lan suddenly stepped forward, presenting a handwritten letter by Anpei Yutian.

The letter announced the next Family Head of the Anpei Family— Anpei Lan!

Naturally, Pinchuan Huazi did not believe it, crazily shouting that Anpei Lan killed Anpei Yutian and forged the letter. However, after verification by everyone and experts, it was found that the letter was indeed written by Anpei Yutian, with neat and powerful writing, definitely not forced.

Thus, with the support of the Anpei Family forces secretly rallied by Anpei Lan, he officially became the new Family Head of the Anpei Family. As for Anpei Feng, who was about to become the Young Master, his dream shattered overnight.

Since ancient times, victories and defeats became irrelevant, and no one cared about the whereabouts of Pinchuan Huazi and Anpei Feng. Unknown to others, Anpei Lan turned them into human livestock, displayed them in underground places for people to watch and play. Also unknown was that years later, Pinchuan Huazi and Anpei Feng passed away one after another, unable to endure the torture.

Even less was known about the kind of life Anpei Lan experienced during those years of living alone.

Perhaps some knew, but Anpei Lan silenced them all, leaving them unable to speak.

After reading the files, An Yiqing closed her eyes, lost in thought. Perhaps she had guessed the reason Anpei Lan’s personality drastically changed in Country Fei.

However, some time and investigation are still needed to prove it.

"Miss, everyone is ready." Zhang Yufeng entered the room.

"Hm," An Yiqing opened her eyes, her gaze clear. She stood up, shook the black camouflage uniform on her body, "Let’s go."

...

In Country Bai, Lemin Mountain is revered by all the citizens. Yet, none knew that beneath Lemin Mountain was a tunnel extending deep into the earth’s core. This was excavated by Anpei Lan’s people over nearly a month, consuming countless human and material resources.

In the distance, a group approached slowly. Leading them was a man in a beige leisure suit, his handsome face sporting a gentle smile, exuding the charm of an elegant gentleman. Beside him were two foreign men dressed in white robes. Following the trio was a group of thirty people.

The leading man was none other than the current Family Head of the Anpei Family, Anpei Lan. Beside him, one was Archbishop Pachi Orwell from the Divine Country, and the other was Ossero, second only to the Archbishop in the Church.

Behind them was the Anpei Family’s Onmyoji team and people from the Church.

The group slowly entered the hidden underground entrance of Lemin Mountain, descending the steps towards the depths. Behind them, the crowd followed closely, silent.

Anpei Lan’s group moved very quickly; practitioners had the ability akin to shrinking the earth into inches. In less than half an hour, they had covered approximately half the distance.

"Mr. Anpei, how much longer?" The surrounding temperature grew increasingly scorching, Pachi frowned deeply, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"It’ll still take some time; we’re now close to the center of the earth’s crust. According to the ancestors’ calculations, the Divine Herb should be near the lava below." Anpei Lan was also unbearably hot; the surrounding temperature was over fifty degrees. Although not yet officially at the crust, it was already blisteringly hot.

"Everyone, hang in there; once we reach the crust line, we’ll be at our destination." Entering the lava center is unrealistic; the human body cannot withstand such a temperature. Today is the awakening day of the Divine Herb; they have prepared the aroma the herb likes and simply need to attract it once it awakens.

Upon hearing Anpei Lan’s explanation, Pachi and Ossero looked better. Wiping the sweat off their bodies, the team continued onward.

Soon, Anpei Lan and his team reached the crust line. The temperature here was extremely hot, approaching boiling water’s temperature. If not for their cultivation protecting their bodies, they might already be roasted human jerky.

"We can’t go further; ahead is the lava center circle, a temperature we cannot endure." Anpei Lan exhaled scorching hot air and took out a black crystal from his bosom.

"What is that?" Pachi asked.

"The Divine Herb likes heat and also the scent of Spiritual Energy. This is a treasure collected by the ancestors a hundred years ago, containing abundant Spiritual Energy inside. Once the Divine Herb awakens, it’s sure to come when it smells this aroma. We’ll hide and wait." Anpei Lan explained.

Pachi and Ossero nodded, and everyone found a concealed spot in the secret passage to hide, holding their breath, awaiting the Divine Herb’s awakening.

After a long while, a surge of overwhelming heat waves spread from the lava center. Everyone felt their hair singed and curled, as if they had just been fished out of the water, soaking wet.

At this moment, a warm yellow light approached from afar. Anpei Lan immediately made a silent gesture, indicating that the Divine Herb had awakened.

In the crowd’s breath-holding anticipation, the warm yellow light drew nearer, directly towards the black crystal.

Seeing the yellow light mass settle on the black crystal, Anpei Lan’s eyes gleamed with joy and immediately leapt forward. Meanwhile, Pachi and Ossero also sprang into action, rushing forward with the people from the Church.

Sensing danger, the light mass quickly ascended into the air, emitting a vast heat source, almost causing people to faint.

Anpei Lan and Pachi clearly did not expect the Divine Herb’s power to be so great; they exhaled difficult breaths, leaping from the ground.

Just as they were about to grab the Divine Herb, Anpei Lan’s eyes shone brightly. Suddenly, a large hand wearing a black leather glove appeared out of thin air and grabbed the light mass.

"Return my Divine Herb!" Anpei Lan’s face darkened, shouting as he charged at the man, and they instantly tangled in battle.

Pachi and Ossero exchanged a glance and joined the fray. Meanwhile, the Church people and Onmyoji’s gaze fell towards the entrance, where a group of men and women in Xuanjin Retro Outfits eyed them menacingly.

The visitors are hostile!

Anpei Lan and the man remained tangled in battle; Pachi and Ossero’s joining intensified the situation. The man, fighting three on one, showed no signs of faltering, alarming and hastening Anpei Lan and his companions’ actions.

At this moment, two figures flew quickly from the door, joining the battle behind the man.

Bang—a fierce impact landed on Ossero. His body shook and flew backward, crushing Anpei Lan and Pachi beneath him.

Both sides landed, Anpei Lan and Pachi rose, watching the opponent vigilantly.

"Who are you?" Anpei Lan asked in international speech.

The man with leather gloves was dressed in black retro attire, his hair thick and neat, his appearance ordinary yet exuding an indescribable aura.

He stared at Anpei Lan, his tone filled with dead silence: "Xiao Yu."
