Chapter 61: Bloodline of the Age of Gods, the Big Shot Jiang Yan! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Damn it!"

Such a bloody scene made many soldiers' eyes fill with indignation as they gripped their weapons tightly.

A mere Bai Ying, daring to commit such insane acts on the land of Great Xia?

Zhao Yan’s gaze was cold and sharp; she waved her hand casually.

"Sun-Chasing Bird!"

Accompanied by the cry of a bird, golden light swept through, steaming the blood pool and turning it into wisps of blood Qi that merged into the children's bodies.

Crack, crack, crack!

The nails and ropes on them all turned to ash, and then, lifted by an invisible force, they floated over and were caught by the soldiers one by one.

A soldier said excitedly, "There is still a sign of life!"

"Their three souls and seven spirits are still there, but their vital essence is nearly dried up. I just used the blood pool to replenish them a little; send them to the Heavenly Medical Department for emergency treatment immediately."

"Detain everyone from Shenying Biotech and lock them in the Black Prison."

"Freeze all assets related to Shenying Biotech, close all laboratories within the territory, issue wanted notices for all personnel currently abroad, and notify the Bai Ying royal family to give an explanation, otherwise the personal safety of Bai Ying transcendents will no longer be guaranteed."

Zhao Yan issued her orders with swift and decisive action.

Watching this scene, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel envious.

The History Correction Bureau of a major city is truly imposing; they demand an explanation from foreign nations at the drop of a hat.

Unlike their Pan'an Branch, which has a total of seven people, two of whom were borrowed by headquarters to do manual labor, leaving only the old, the weak, the sick, the young, and one beast of burden.

The Ming Dynasty old zombie Zhao Yinman, the competitive Ba Lie who goes everywhere looking for chances to show off, the legal loli Yin Yiyi, and his sick self.

At this moment, the voice of Kurokawa Sosuke rang out: "I did all of this. It was my own greed at work; I wanted to use blood sacrifice to improve my strength. It has nothing to do with the Kurokawa family."

His expression was dejected, looking like someone willing to accept the consequences of losing a gamble.

"Trying to shoulder everything alone to trade for your family's safety? What a pity, you aren't worthy, though I can certainly fulfill your wish for the whole family to be reunited."

Zhao Yan sneered: "The head of the Kurokawa family, I recall it's Kurokawa Ryuichi, right? A Mid-stage Old Record who is about to die of old age is still so fond of causing trouble? Then put him on the [Tai Bai Record] so he can jump around even more happily."

Upon hearing this, Kurokawa Sosuke’s face changed. He shouted with a fierce but cowardly tone: "No, you can't do this! Our family head is a high-ranking noble appointed by the Emperor, a branch of the Fujiwara family, with the noble bloodline of the Age of Gods flowing in his veins! You are declaring war on Bai Ying!"

The reason for such a fierce reaction was that the Tai Bai Record governs slaughter, and its significance is equivalent to a foreign Inquisition.

And it is far more severe.

One will be hunted by the History Correction Bureau, never to rest until death!

A Kurokawa family without the Old Record is just a piece of fat; they will soon be hunted by other Bai Ying families, and falling into their hands is...

A fate worse than death!

"Idiot, you think too highly of yourselves."

Zhao Yan scoffed. Would Bai Ying tear up its relationship with the Great Xia Alliance for the sake of an Old Record who is about to die of old age?

Even those above the Old Record, the [Heavenly Officials] who have mastered the "Law," wouldn't dare.

As for the bloodline of the Age of Gods, that is even more of a joke; it is nothing more than becoming a slave to those twisted Bai Ying gods and an anchor point for the present world, yet they actually treat it as an honor.

Truly bizarre.

In reality, if it weren't for building a common front to resist the mutations in the River of History, they wouldn't even bother to care, even knowing that the Bai Ying nation might be colluding with monsters.

Let the Bai Ying people suffer a little, anyway.

If Bai Ying were completely wiped out, it would cause the mutated creatures within to flood into the present world and establish a demonic kingdom on earth, increasing the defensive pressure on the History Correction Bureau.

Otherwise, many of the old guard in the History Correction Bureau would have long ago wanted to settle the score for Bai Ying’s previous backstabbing of Great Xia.

And not just stop after slaughtering a few counties.

Of course, back then, Bai Ying had divine artifacts and the gods behind them intervening, otherwise these nobles and the royal family would have been extinct long ago.

In recent years, the Bai Ying side has acted with extreme caution, fearing that the Great Xia Alliance would find an excuse to give them a few good punches.

Now that the evidence has been delivered to their doorstep... they must make Bai Ying bleed heavily.

Zhao Yan sneered: "I will personally interrogate you later to figure out what you are trying to do. Of course, you can continue to be stubborn; I am also quite curious to see if your old bones can survive the Iron Thorn Mountain? Or the Sea of Karmic Fire?"

Kurokawa Sosuke’s expression was one of despair.

After finishing, Zhao Yan looked around and said thoughtfully: "This space seems to have been opened and stabilized using some kind of treasure, but now the spatial structure has collapsed, and I don't see this treasure..."

"Um..."

After listening, Jiang Yan coughed lightly and was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhao Yan.

She held her stomach and laughed loudly: "Haha, little boys are so fun. I know you took it, and Kurokawa Ryuji was also slaughtered by you."

Jiang Yan slowly typed out a "?".

Zhao Yan laughed for a while and said: "Don't worry, you completed the mission. As long as it isn't an item specified by the mission, or related to ancient existences, or suspected of spreading pollution, the History Correction Bureau defaults to treating them as personal spoils of war and they don't need to be confiscated. This is an unspoken rule.

You have great talent, but I appreciate even more that you don't act arrogant like some geniuses who only know how to charge in brainlessly. You know how to borrow our strength, and you do things steadily and meticulously. Remember, the History Correction Bureau will always be your strongest backing!"

"I'll be going now. Next time we meet, I expect you'll need to address me as [True Person of the Old Record]!"

Zhao Yan patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder and left in a streak of golden rainbow light, taking Kurokawa Sosuke with her.

"Are all practitioners of the Great Sun Method so impulsive?"

Jiang Yan complained, while Zhao Yinman beside him wore a cold expression that said, "I'm just a zombie, don't ask me."

Although he also wanted to go back early to see the treasure he had just obtained, he was the one who ordered the building to be sealed, so he had to be responsible for the cleanup.

Soon, Kurokawa Seihime and the others were put in handcuffs and leg shackles specifically for transcendents, to be escorted to the transcendent prison—the [Black Prison].

Especially Kurokawa Seihime; this princess who was high and mighty and surrounded by stars half an hour ago had now fallen into the mud and become a prisoner.

Her family was also going to perish.

The change was so fast that she felt a bit dazed.

Before leaving, she took a deep look at Jiang Yan, her mood complex.

In the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

"Finally finished!"

Xu Xiaoman finished her overtime, stretched, her chest heaving, and then walked with several female colleagues to the rental apartment not far from the company.

They chatted as they walked, from cosmetics to complaining about black-hearted capitalists, and finally talked about Jiang Yan.

"It was boring at work, but at least I could look at a handsome guy to feast my eyes on, or ship him with Xiao He from the next team. Now it's all gone."

"Isn't Xiao He a guy? You fujoshi, get lost!"

"Do you think Jiang Yan quit because of his salary?"

"Very likely. Looking at how hard he worked overtime, his family background should be average. Based on his current salary, even if he struggles for ten years, after daily expenses, the money saved probably wouldn't even be enough for a down payment in the suburbs of Hangcheng."

"Sigh, being handsome is good, but you can't eat it. I still want to live the life of a rich person; I'd even endure it if they were a bit ugly."

"Who says you can't eat being handsome? If Jiang Yan went to be an influencer, there would definitely be plenty of rich women lining up with cash, and they would have their chance."

"You're so dirty!"

As they gossiped, Xu Xiaoman pondered, not mentioning that she had seen Jiang Yan today.

Speaking of rich women, she thought of Zhao Yinman, who was by Jiang Yan's side.

Judging by her temperament... she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Could it be that Jiang Yan was preparing to marry into a rich family?

While talking, they happened to pass by Shenying Biotech. The military was still there, and they had set up a cordon.

In the internet age, the slightest disturbance would cause a sensation.

Let alone a well-known company like Shenying Biotech, which was a dream company for many, especially since the company president was a great beauty and a noble lady from a major Bai Ying family.

This added even more mystery.

Once an incident occurred, it was like a torpedo thrown into this stagnant pool, spreading to every company.

A short-haired female colleague beside Xu Xiaoman stood on her tiptoes, looking curiously, and said: "Even if it's tax evasion, it should be the tax bureau, right? It shouldn't be sealed off by the military, should it? Could it be a spy operation?"

In the afternoon, the glass on the top floor of Shenying Biotech shattered, making them let their imaginations run wild. Could there have been a fierce battle inside?

But it was quickly debunked, with the notice saying it was a building construction quality issue, a coincidence.

Another female colleague said with lingering fear: "Who knows? It's best not to get involved in such troublesome things. It would be a hassle if we were taken in for tea; we still have to work tomorrow."

Everyone agreed. Just as they were about to leave, they saw many soldiers lining up to salute.

As Great Xia people who love to eat melons their whole lives, the few female colleagues naturally couldn't move their feet and stood on their tiptoes to take a few looks.

However, the distance was too far, and there were too many soldiers, so they couldn't see clearly.

They could only see a figure shaking hands with the leading officer, and then getting into a Maybach.

"This is definitely a big shot!"

Everyone sighed, and having no interest in causing trouble, they walked to the traffic light to wait.

At this time, the Maybach just happened to turn out from the internal road, and the rear left window was half-open for ventilation.

One could see a young girl wearing Ming-style Hanfu sitting inside, looking stunningly beautiful, and beside her was a blurry figure.

That should be the big shot from just now.

"So beautiful, is this a child from the Heavenly Palace?"

Everyone sighed, envious of others having both money and looks, but they didn't notice that Xu Xiaoman beside them had already frozen.

Because, isn't this...

The colleague she saw with Jiang Yan today?

Zhao Yinman also felt the gaze at this time, and seeing that it was Jiang Yan's former colleague, she nodded slightly to acknowledge them.

Lesson one of being a modern zombie: be polite!

"It really is her!"

Xu Xiaoman widened her eyes. Zhao Yinman was here, and although the figure beside her couldn't be seen clearly, the build was about the same as Jiang Yan's.

Could it be that the big shot from just a moment ago was...

"Xiaoman, the light is already green, what are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

Her colleague's shout roused her from her shock.

She watched the Maybach as it drove away, took a deep breath, and felt her heart pounding in her chest, so hard it made her eardrums ache.

"Coming!"

She replied, quickening her pace to catch up, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly; she seemed to have discovered a...

Massive secret!
