Ch 329: Jin Yin (High-ranking official)
“Chuā!”
Jiang Chen pointed out again, the True Qi condensed at his fingertip shot out like a sharp sword, instantly hitting the Golden Eagle’s chest.
The powerful True Qi surged out, directly tearing apart the Golden Eagle’s protective demonic energy, and its body fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
“Roar——!”
The Golden Eagle let out a shrill scream, its body crashing heavily onto the sea, stirring up a sky full of waves.
The seawater was lifted several Zhang high by its impact, and then poured down like a torrential rain.
The Golden Eagle’s feathers were soaked with seawater, making it look extremely disheveled. There was a bloody hole in its chest, and blood kept gushing out, staining the surrounding seawater red.
“Cough cough cough…”
The Golden Eagle barely struggled to fly up from the sea. One of its wings was already broken, and its flying posture was crooked, obviously seriously injured and dying.
Its eyes were full of pain and fear, obviously not expecting that it would be defeated so thoroughly.
However, just as it flew up, Jiang Chen had already bent his bow and drawn the string, and the Four Symbols Bow in his hand emitted a stern, cold light. A dazzling arrow of light condensed on the bowstring, pointing directly at the Golden Eagle’s vitals.
Jiang Chen’s gaze was cold and sharp, as if he would release the bowstring at any moment, completely killing the Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle’s whole body was tense, feeling that stern killing intent.
Its feathers stood on end, and its eyes were full of horror.
It knew that if Jiang Chen released the bowstring, it would surely die.
“Don’t! Don’t kill me!”
The Golden Eagle finally couldn’t help begging for mercy, its voice with a hint of trembling.
Its tone was humble and fearful, obviously completely shocked by Jiang Chen’s strength.
“If you don’t want to die, then come over here.” Jiang Chen spoke coldly, his tone with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Hearing this, the Golden Eagle immediately flew over, rolling and crawling.
Its figure twisted in the air, instantly transforming into a burly man with thick eyebrows and large eyes.
This burly man was tall and muscular, but at the moment his face was full of fear, looking extremely disheveled.
“Cough cough cough… Se-, Senior, this little demon’s eyes failed to recognize Mount Tai, please be merciful, Senior, and spare this little one’s life.”
The burly man knelt on the sea, lowered his head, his voice with a hint of trembling.
His chest was still bleeding, obviously his injuries were very serious, but he didn’t dare to be negligent in the slightest, fearing that Jiang Chen would kill him if he was unhappy.
“What’s your name?” Jiang Chen lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze coldly staring at the burly man kneeling in front of him, his tone with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
The burly man trembled all over, quickly lowered his head, his voice with a hint of fear: “This little one’s name is Jin Yin (High-ranking official), and I am a member of the Silver-Winged Golden Eagle clan.”
“The Silver-Winged Golden Eagle clan?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone with a hint of doubt, “Then why would you come to this place?”
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Jin Yin’s (High-ranking official) eyes.
It didn’t want Jiang Chen to know the secret of this place. After all, it had been planning for the inheritance here for hundreds of years. If Jiang Chen got there first, then all its efforts would be in vain.
However, if it didn’t tell the truth, it would probably die here immediately.
Just as it was hesitating, Jiang Chen suddenly stepped forward and grabbed its throat.
His palm tightly clasped Jin Yin’s (High-ranking official) neck like iron tongs, the force so great that it almost suffocated.
“Don’t play tricks with me. Now that I’m already here, do you think I wouldn’t know anything?” Jiang Chen’s voice was low, as if carrying an invisible imposing pressure.
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) was intimidated by Jiang Chen’s aura, its mind was in chaos, and it quickly struggled to say: “Senior! I was wrong, I came here to plot for the inheritance of Xuanmiao Zhenren!”
“The inheritance of Xuanmiao Zhenren?”
Jiang Chen frowned, his tone with a hint of doubt, “Then why is there nothing here?”
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) was being choked by Jiang Chen so that it could hardly breathe, and quickly explained: “Senior, in another ten days, the inheritance here will reappear. Now the time has not come, and the inheritance will not be revealed!”
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He released his hand that was pinching Jin Yin’s (High-ranking official) throat, and said coldly: “Continue.”
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) was granted amnesty, and quickly coughed a few times, then said cautiously: “Xuanmiao Zhenren was an unparalleled expert in ancient times. The inheritance he left behind will only appear once every thirty years. And this time, it is the time for the inheritance to appear. This little one has been planning here for nearly a hundred years, just to obtain this inheritance.”
“I see.”
Jiang Chen suddenly understood, no wonder he didn’t see anything here.
He originally thought that there would be obvious ruins or enchantments on this island, but he didn’t expect that it was because the time had not come and the inheritance had not yet appeared.
“How much do you know about this inheritance?” Jiang Chen looked at Jin Yin (High-ranking official) with cold eyes, his tone with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) swallowed, and said with some guilt: “Senior, this ruin was told to me by a clan elder of my clan before he died. He only told me that this is the Cave of Xuanmiao Zhenren, and there are many treasures inside, as for the others… this little one knows nothing.”
Jiang Chen glanced at it, his gaze with a hint of scrutiny.
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) was frightened by his eyes and trembled all over, quickly lowered his head, and dared not look at him.
“Since that’s the case, then you can wait here with me for ten days.” Jiang Chen waved his hand and said indifferently.
Although his tone was flat, it carried an aura of irresistible imposing pressure.
“Yes! Senior.” Jin Yin (High-ranking official) cried bitterly in its heart, but it could only obey.
It knew that it had completely fallen into Jiang Chen’s control now, and if it dared to make the slightest move, it would probably die immediately.
One person and one demon came to a nearby island to recuperate.
This island was not big, but the vegetation was lush, surrounded by clear seawater, looking particularly peaceful.
Jiang Chen found a hidden mountain cave, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his breath to recover.
Jin Yin (High-ranking official) carefully guarded aside, not daring to make the slightest move.
Jiang Chen took advantage of this time to use the 【Reverse Knowledge of the Future】 Mystical Power to constantly deduce the various possibilities of the future.
His mind sank into the Sea of Consciousness, and a series of blurred pictures appeared before his eyes.
In these pictures, some were scenes of him fighting with powerful enemies, some were fragments of him exploring in the Endless Sea, and some were moments when he broke through realms.
However, no matter how he deduced, he could only see the future one year later.
Moreover, as the deduction continued, these futures became more and more assimilated, as if no matter how hard he tried, the future would move towards a predetermined ending.
