61: Yan Nanshu
At this moment, Xiao Yan's shock quickly faded, replaced by a slow, lecherous smile.
He walked towards Zhou Mengyan again.
Just as Zhou Mengyan was about to retreat, three more Four-turn Grand Assassins materialized behind her.
All her escape routes were sealed off.
"Hahaha... Zhou Mengyan, I advise you not to resist. I will be very gentle. If you faithfully follow me from now on, I promise you will become the happiest woman."
Xiao Yan said, raising his hand to grab Zhou Mengyan.
However, just then, the four Four-turn Assassins surrounding Zhou Mengyan suddenly exploded into a mist of blood.
Xiao Yan and the other Strongs from the Xiao Corporation all changed their expressions dramatically.
More than a dozen Strongs from the Xiao Corporation quickly pulled out their weapons and aimed them at Zhou Mengyan.
However, another series of explosions rang out.
Only a series of bangs could be heard...
In an instant, more than a dozen Strongs from the Xiao Corporation all exploded into a mist of blood.
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He immediately retreated, simultaneously taking out the Forbidden Spell Scroll from his hand.
He didn't know what had happened.
But he knew that a huge crisis was approaching him.
And he would spare no expense to protect himself.
The situation here immediately attracted the attention of the official Ya Zi Guild members responsible for security.
They quickly moved towards Xiao Yan, but they also didn't know what was happening.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, as if dark clouds had obscured the sun.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky.
A giant Sky Soaring Celestial Deer, over several hundred meters in size, stood in the air.
Its body emanated a dazzling light, like a blazing sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Its snow-white fur shimmered with mysterious runes, each rune seeming to contain endless power.
"Why is the sky dark?"
"This... this is..."
"Mon... Monster!"
"This is the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer, a divine beast among flying pet beasts!"
Exclamations rang out from all over the Goblin Forest.
At this moment, whether they were new Professionals leveling up or veteran Professionals responsible for security, everyone felt the immense pressure from the divine beast.
The Dragon Nest Fighters hidden in the air immediately materialized, and figures in military uniforms quickly flew out of the fighters.
Leading them was Zhou Weiguo, the captain of the Dragon Nest Northern Theater.
At this moment, the Dragon Nest members looked at the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer in the sky as if facing a formidable enemy.
"It's alright, don't panic, it's one of us!" Zhou Weiguo suddenly said.
His voice spread throughout the entire Goblin Forest like a clap of thunder.
"Look quickly, there's a figure standing on that divine deer."
"One of us? I thought a Grand Magus from an enemy country was casting a Forbidden Spell again."
"Who is this person? To be able to control such a divine beast, he must be a Six-turn Strong, right?"
Several experts from small families responsible for security wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and said.
And at this moment, on the back of this majestic Sky Soaring Celestial Deer, an old man in a magnificent magic robe stood proudly.
Although his hair was as white as snow, his eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing endless majesty and indifference.
The staff in his hand glowed with dazzling light, as if it could control all elements between heaven and earth.
"Young man, don't use your ignorance to touch the bottom lines that shouldn't be touched!"
A voice rang out from the Magus's mouth.
Xiao Yan clutched the Forbidden Spell Scroll tightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Jiang Shan Yi," the Magus said indifferently.
Boom...
At this moment, everyone gasped.
Jiang Shan Yi? Isn't that the Seven-Rotation Grand Magus?
This is an existence that can casually cast Forbidden Spells, and there are only five Grand Magus in the entire Dragon Nation.
Now, such a noble, mysterious, and powerful existence appeared before their eyes.
"Old Jiang?"
"Jiang Shan Yi, one of the three Vice Hall Masters of the War God Hall?"
The two Five-turn Vice Captains of Dragon Nest both gasped.
War God Hall, the peak organization of Dragon Nation's high-end combat power.
Many people knew that at the top of this pyramid stood an Eight-turn Professional.
However, no one knew her name, nor did anyone know her profession.
They didn't even know if this big shot was a man or a woman.
People only knew that ten years ago, America-Alliance, in conjunction with India, launched a surprise attack on a rare mine within Dragon Nation's borders.
A mysterious person suddenly appeared and, with a single blow, suppressed three Seven-Rotation Strongs.
America-Alliance heavily publicized that Dragon Nation was hiding an Eight-turn Strong, spreading the Dragon Nation threat theory globally.
Soon after, Dragon Nest suddenly established an organization called the War God Hall.
Only the most outstanding members of Dragon Nest had the opportunity to join.
And the three Vice Hall Masters of the War God Hall were the already famous Seven-Rotation Grand Magus Jiang Shan Yi, the Seven-Rotation Sky Knight Zhong Wugai, and the Seven-Rotation Archery God Tu Nanyi.
These three were known as the Jiang Shan Yi, whose nature was hard to change, of the War God Hall.
Seeing that this big shot had killed so many Strongs from the Xiao Family but had not touched him, Xiao Yan immediately thought that this person must be wary of his Xiao Family's influence.
"Senior, my father is Xiao Yuanshan. I hope you will not meddle in this matter out of respect for my father."
"Xiao Yuanshan?" Jiang Shan Yi's face showed a hint of disdain. "Let alone Xiao Yuanshan, even your grandfather Xiao Hongtu would have to kneel and greet me."
Boom...
These words exploded in Xiao Yan's ears, making his inexplicable confidence vanish instantly.
Jiang Shan Yi snorted coldly, and a silver staff suddenly appeared in his hand.
A silver light illuminated from the staff, and the space-time within a hundred meters seemed to freeze instantly.
Everything in the world fell into a forbidden state, with only Zhou Mengyan unaffected.
"Nan Shu, the Hall Master asked me to inform you that her test for you has ended early, and your mission is also over. You can go back now; don't waste any more time outside." Jiang Shan Yi looked at Zhou Mengyan.
"Grandpa Jiang, please just call me Meng Yan." Zhou Mengyan said.
A bitter expression appeared on Jiang Shan Yi's face.
"Grandpa Jiang, please tell her for me that the test can end early, but I won't go back now.
I have kept my distance from Lin Ling as she instructed, but I absolutely cannot cut off contact with him." Zhou Mengyan said.
"Meng Yan, Lin Ling's identity shows no problems; perhaps everything is just a coincidence.
Moreover, Lin Ling's performance has far exceeded the War God Hall's expectations, and we plan to find an opportunity to formally contact him."
When Lin Ling was mentioned, Jiang Shan Yi's breathing became a little rapid.
"Grandpa Jiang, everyone has underestimated Lin Ling. You should have taken him away from the beginning.
His talent might not just be SSS-rank Laws Darling; I suspect he possesses a powerful ability we don't know about.
Such as deduction, or precognition, or even Time Travel.
In short... in short, I want to understand him more.
Give me some more time, and I will definitely figure all this out.
Although I genuinely believe Lin Ling is not a problem, behind us is the entire Dragon Nation's last line of defense.
In the face of national security, we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest; we must act with discretion and a sense of the bigger picture." Zhou Mengyan said very firmly.
"How do you plan to figure out Lin Ling's background?" Jiang Shan Yi's face showed a hint of approval. As expected of that person's daughter.
A blush suddenly appeared on Zhou Mengyan's face, "Can't I offer myself to him and conduct close-range reconnaissance?"
Jiang Shan Yi's beard trembled wildly.
Is this your sense of discretion and the bigger picture? What bigger picture are you talking about?
"The Hall Master asked me to remind you that before we figure out how he knows those top-secret pieces of information, you absolutely cannot let him know your true identity."
Zhou Mengyan's expression quickly returned to normal, and she nodded lightly.
"Grandpa Jiang, do you think it's possible for someone to be reborn and return to a certain point in the past after dying?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Shan Yi's eyes. "Time Travel can achieve that, but being reborn into the past is unlikely, isn't it? Why do you ask?"
"No... nothing." Zhou Mengyan chuckled, "Grandpa Jiang, do you think it's possible for a newcomer to cast a Forbidden Spell?"
"Young people have such wild imaginations. Oh, right, don't touch Xiao Yan; there might be a big fish behind him."
Jiang Shan Yi shook his head helplessly and looked again.
The Sky Soaring Celestial Deer soared into the sky and instantly disappeared above the high heavens.
Only then did the world, which had been paused, instantly resume.
The birds flew away again, and the Professionals in the forest did not notice any abnormality.
Zhou Mengyan put away her token, turned, walked to Youyou, and helped her up.
"We are leaving Ya Zi. Is there anyone willing to come with me?"
Zhou Mengyan asked, looking at the remaining Ya Zi Squad members.
