Chapter 2801: Chapter 2802: Flaw

After all, it is widely acknowledged that under the same level, the strong of the Human Clan are utterly incomparable to the evil beings.

In this situation, who would be willing to court death?

Therefore, after speaking, Yun Lingxuan anxiously looked at Xue An.

She was afraid that this young man would react with fear, just like the others.

But she was wrong.

At this moment, Xue An not only showed no trace of difficulty, but was full of excitement.

Yes!

Excitement!

This strange expression left Yun Lingxuan somewhat puzzled.

"And then? What do you want me to do?" Xue An asked eagerly.

Suppressing her internal doubts, Yun Lingxuan solemnly said, "I want you to help me deal with this powerful evil being!"

"Alright! I agree!"

Almost as soon as Yun Lingxuan finished her sentence, Xue An nodded in agreement.

Such a straightforward answer took Yun Lingxuan by surprise, and she couldn’t help but say.

"Young Master, we are dealing with an unimaginably powerful evil King this time!"

"I know, if it weren’t such a being, I wouldn’t have agreed!" Xue An said calmly.

Yun Lingxuan: "..."

"But why did you seek me out? My strength in the Central Region isn’t particularly outstanding!" Xue An asked.

Yun Lingxuan gave a bitter smile, "Because you are the one who broke my strings!"

"The one who broke your strings?" Xue An was somewhat confused.

Yun Lingxuan nodded, "After I fled from the Yun Family, I eventually ended up at the House of Towers, where I studied under a teacher and learned my zither skills from them."

"After teaching me, this teacher gifted me a guqin and said that if someday someone breaks the strings, it means that what I wish for in my heart is about to be fulfilled!"

Only then did Xue An recall that the day he eavesdropped on Yun Lingxuan playing the zither at the General’s Mansion, he was amazed by her skills and commented on the emotions in her music, which incidentally caused her strings to break.

"I see. Is that why you invited me to the Central Region’s General Assembly?"

"Yes! After discovering you were the one who broke my strings, I wanted to invite you to the Central Region, but you refused at the time!" Yun Lingxuan showed a bitter smile.

"I was almost in despair, thinking the teacher’s prophecy was nothing but nonsense! But then you came around!"

Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, "I still don’t quite get why you have to act at this General Assembly?"

"It’s simple, this General Assembly will also be attended by this evil King, and it will be our best opportunity to act. Otherwise, if it retreats to its territory, we’ll have an even harder time approaching it!" Yun Lingxuan said.

All of Xue An’s questions were resolved by this.

He nodded, "Alright, I’ll help you this once!"

Yun Lingxuan was elated, bowing deeply again, "Thank you, Young Master, I will never forget your great kindness!"

"However, I have no knowledge of this evil King’s background. If we are to make a move, it’s best to know more about it."

"Rest assured, I have prepared for this!"

With that, Yun Lingxuan took a light ball from her sleeve and, with a gentle tap, images were projected into the void before them.

Some of these images were blurry, some flickered indistinctly, and what they depicted could not be clearly seen.

However, some were very clear, such as when one scene froze, it revealed an enormous octopus monster.

This was Tuan’er’s first-time seeing the adversary Yun Lingxuan spoke of, so upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Oh, Young Master, isn’t this the evil being we saw on our way over?"

"What? You saw this evil being on your way here?" Yun Lingxuan asked in shock.

"Yes!"

"Then how did you escape?" Yun Lingxuan asked with a grave expression.

"Escape? We didn’t escape. It was the Young Master who drove this monster away!" Tuan’er said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Lingxuan looked at Xue An in astonishment.

"Young Master, is what Tuan’er said true?"

Xue An smiled and nodded, "It’s true, but she exaggerates. We did encounter this evil being, but it should have been just a projection!"

"A projection?"

"Correct!" With that, Xue An recounted the events.

After listening, Yun Lingxuan suddenly understood.

"So that’s how it is. But Young Master, you were unafraid even when facing this projection and dared to confront it. It shows indeed your unparalleled might!"

Yun Lingxuan praised sincerely.

These past years, she had seen many who bragged loudly but wet themselves when faced with real danger and supposedly heroic figures.

By comparison, Xue An’s performance was perfect.

To this, Xue An merely gave a slight smile, "I’m far from deserving the term ’unparalleled,’ but from my observation, if this evil being’s projection is so formidable, its main body will be more powerful. So, during the General Assembly, we’ll need to be fully prepared!"

Yun Lingxuan nodded, "What you say, Young Master, is very true. In fact, I’ve been gathering information on this evil King through various means for years, allowing me to find a flaw!"

"Oh? What flaw?" Xue An’s eyes brightened.

"This evil King is indeed invincible, and it would be foolish for me to think of revenge with my strength alone, but the more formidable the being, the more hidden weaknesses it has!"

"And this evil King’s biggest vulnerability and weakness is this!"

With that, Yun Lingxuan slowly opened her hand, revealing the fragment of the Ancient Mirror in her palm.

Xue An’s heart stirred, "The Ancient Mirror fragment?"

"Yes! I accidentally obtained this treasure and discovered that this evil King has also been searching for these fragments, not to assemble them, but to destroy them!"

"After cross-referencing other gathered information, I concluded that these unknown Ancient Mirror fragments apparently impose a strong restraint on this evil King, driving it to search and destroy them relentlessly!"

Hearing Yun Lingxuan’s account, Xue An’s expression turned thoughtful.

Meanwhile, Yun Lingxuan added regretfully, "Unfortunately, despite my efforts and searches over the years, I only found this single Ancient Mirror fragment! If only there were a few more pieces, we’d have a better chance at success!"

"I have a fragment like yours too!" Xue An suddenly said.

Yun Lingxuan was startled, looking up at Xue An.

Xue An smiled, "And it should be larger than the one you have!"
