“Imperial Gate Bei Qing!” A beautiful woman dressed in unique clothes appeared in Zu An’s mind. He had seen a projection of Bei Qing, and she had even spoken some cryptic words to him. Zu An had been left with the impression that she recognized him, but because of the laws of spacetime, she couldn't tell him the truth. Could it be that they'd only met each other after he came to this ancient period?

Mojard couldn't help but say with a sigh, “That Imperial Gate Bei Qing was quite the incredible woman. Following the Fiend Emperor’s death, this world’s resistance had already been utterly defeated, and yet this Imperial Gate Bei Qing suddenly came out of nowhere and miraculously gathered the defeated troops to gradually regain their footing. The Monster Lord’s army even suffered several defeats as a result. It seems everyone in this world calls her a saintess!”

Pei Mianman couldn't help but grow fascinated. “Someone like that really seems as if they descended from the heavens. She really deserves her reputation of saintess!”

Jiang Luofu also said, “I recall that there were some books from ancient times that mentioned this Imperial Gate Bei Qing in the past, and even my late teacher admired her a lot. However, there were only a few isolated phrases in the records that mentioned her, making it quite difficult to understand what kind of person she really was.”

Suolun Shi also said, “I’ve heard stories of Imperial Gate Bei Qing that were passed down in my clan. She was a heroine for everyone in the Fiend races, and many women from our side use her as their role model. But the Fiend races only claim that she led the great races to defeat the foreign monsters. As for what happened after the monsters were forced back, there is no information at all. It’s almost as if she disappeared from the later history of this world altogether.”

Salamay said with a sneer, “That woman might’ve already been killed by my father, so of course there would be no history left to tell.” She felt really awful when they kept praising an enemy of the Monster World.

The women rolled their eyes. They just treated it as Salamay being catty and didn’t feel like paying her much attention at all.

Zu An asked Mojard, “Then do you know where Imperial Gate Bei Qing is right now? As well as the Monster Lord and his army's current movements?”

Mojard shook his head slightly. “Imperial Gate Bei Qing is the leader of the resistance army, so her whereabouts are extremely mysterious. If I had known where she was, the monster army would’ve eliminated her a long time ago. However, I should have a rough understanding of the Monster Lord and his army’s position.”

As he spoke, he drew a simple and crude map on the ground that approximated the Monster Lord and his army’s location. Zu An asked a few more questions, and Mojard answered them all one after another.

Even Salamay was starting to get annoyed. “Are you done yet? Uncle Mo already replied to so many of your questions. You should let us go already, just as we agreed.”

Even Mojard was getting a bit nervous. The reason why he was sharing everything he knew was because he was worried that Zu An could go back on his word.

Zu An nodded. “Alright, you two can go now.”

Salamay sighed in relief. She gave Pei Mianman and the others a look, then turned around confidently to walk into the distance with a harrumph. However, she was sneering inside.

This Zu An might be strong, but isn’t he a bit too naive? He actually really let me leave.

Once I find my daddy, I’ll definitely make him kill Zu An! This world’s source power is abundant, and father’s strength hasn’t been reduced at all. There’s no way he would lose as miserably as the Monster Lord.

…Wait, this kid does have some looks. Let’s have daddy cripple his cultivation first, and then he’ll be bestowed upon me as a slave. I’ll let him experience the taste of how he bullied me a hundred times over.

And those lowly women! They relied on their looks to gain Zu An’s favor so they could do whatever they wanted. I’ll throw them into the barracks for the soldiers to toy with them for a few days. They’ll learn what the result of offending this first miss is then!

When she thought about how those women would be weeping bitter tears, she couldn't help but grin. Just then, however, her vision blurred and Zu An instantly reappeared in front of her and Mojard.

Salamay’s expression changed. “What, are you going to go back on your word? With your status, breaking an oath will cause you to be devoured by the heavenly dao rebound!”

“I already fulfilled my promise to let you two go, but now I’ve recaptured the two of you. Whose fault was it for not escaping far enough?” Zu An replied, looking at her with a big smile.

Salamay and Mojard were speechless.

When they finally reacted to what was going on, the two monsters almost vomited blood. “Bastard Zu, you’re shameless!”

You have successfully trolled Salamay for +745 +745 +745…

You have successfully trolled Mojard for +745 +745 +745…

Zu An was unfazed. “When dealing with shameless people, using unorthodox methods is unavoidable.”

As he spoke, he sealed up the two monsters’ acupoints. They fell to the ground with unwillingness in their wide-open eyes.

The women surrounded them. Pei Mianman couldn't help but smile. “I was worried that you would really let the tiger return to the mountains out of pity for the fact that she was a woman.”

Zu An retorted impatiently, “Am I the type to not understand the gravity the of situation?”

In this age where the monster army actually had the absolute advantage, if he let Salamay and Mojard return to the Lord of Slaughter’s side, it really would have caused no end of trouble. He couldn't afford that much risk.

“We know that you’re naturally clear-headed when it comes to men, but toward pretty women…” Pei Mianman didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

The other women all nodded. They clearly agreed with her.

Zu An was speechless. He coughed lightly and turned to the True Demon elders.

The elders were so scared that they took a few steps back. This regent wasn’t only profoundly strong, he was also cunning and shameless. Just who were the real monsters here?

“You guys should just stay here for now,” Zu An said. He didn’t know where to put them for the time being either. The Time Scribe said that they shared fate with this world, so they could really end up being helpful.

When they heard that he wasn’t going to kill them, the True Demon elders actually felt a bit of gratitude. At the very least, they hadn’t ended up in a situation as bad as Salamay's.

Zu An then turned to the women and said, “I need to go on a trip to the Ocean races' territory to see if I can get any information about the Aurora Poison Dragon.”

He'd actually discovered that he had lost connection with the World Law Beacon as soon as he arrived in this world. This was within his expectations too. After all, he had the law beacon of the latter world, and not the one from this age. This era’s Cultivation World was countless times more powerful than his era, so there was no way for him to rely on that weak law beacon to control this world. But he hadn’t revealed anything because he was worried that the Time Scribe, as well as Salamay’s group, would be tempted to go against him because of it.

This was the perfect time to go on a trip to the Ocean races' territory. Not only could he find the Aurora Poison Dragon, he could also see if the law beacon was still there.

Jiang Luofu also said, “Then we’ll move separately. I’ll start searching for the Brilliant Pinflower and see if I can get my hands on it.”

Zu An was a bit worried at first, but he remembered what they'd said about how they weren’t subservient to anyone. They were the world’s most outstanding women to begin with, and didn’t need to hide under his wings. Thus, he replied, “That’s fine too. This will save us a bit more time.”

Yun Yuqing said, “I will go with Luofu. We can take care of each other.”

Jiang Luofu was a bit moved, saying, “Thanks.” She naturally needed Ji Xiaoxi and her medicine skill if she wanted to find the Brilliant Pinflower, but she'd been worried that she wouldn’t be able to take care of Xiaoxi well by herself. Now that she had Yun Yuqing’s help, she felt much more relieved.

Yun Yuqing laughed. “Is there a need to be so polite between us?” Even though she really wanted to be with Zu An, her relationship with Jiang Luofu was the best. She naturally couldn't let the latter go alone.

Pei Mianman thought for a bit and said, “Then I’ll try to find a way to find out the whereabouts of the resistance army, and it will be even better if I can find out where Imperial Gate Bei Qing is.” She really wanted to go with Zu An too, but if even the other women were handling important matters, how could she just spend her time flirting?

Suolun Shi thought for a bit and said, “Then I’ll stay behind and watch over these monsters.”

They couldn't just leave the monsters with no one watching them. Someone had to do that. In the end, she was probably the one most suitable for this role.

Zu An hadn’t expected the women to divide up the roles so quickly and efficiently. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement. They really were the world’s most outstanding women after all.
