Chapter 675.

A numbness in the neck, followed by a sharp pain, a sharp pain that no normal human being can resist ……….

Xu Qi’an, who had had two experiences, knew that this was the pain that arose from the Seven Extinction Compass further integrating into the body as it grew, stimulating the nerves in the spine.

Xu Qi’an sat still, closing his eyes and concentrating, enduring the pain.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the pain slowed down and then disappeared, the Seven Extinction Compass successfully passed the second stage of maturity and entered the third stage of “juvenile”.

Xu Qi’an didn’t open his eyes, scrutinizing the changes brought about by the Seven Extremities Compulsion, the ability of the Heavenly Compulsion remained unchanged, still “moving stars and changing buckets”, as the basic disk of the Seven Extremities Compulsion, the Heavenly Compulsion had basically been developed to the extreme.

As for the Heavenly Compass’s ability to spy on destiny, Xu Qi’an suspected that he would have to at least have the Seven Extremities Compass enter the Transcendent level, or even require a second-grade level to be able to do so.

The “Berserk” of the Force Compass and the “Poison Body” of the Poison Compass remained unchanged, but the Love Compass added a new ability – absorbing the power of lust from the surrounding beings.

This ability allowed him not to have to think about daily kun, as long as he nourished his love compulsion by absorbing the lust of the living beings around him, he would be able to steadily advance, just like a martial artist exhaling and practicing qi.

And, these erotic powers can be stockpiled and released against the enemy.

Lust is sometimes more deadly than a toxin because it is a stimulation of the body’s functions, and while a martial artist’s powerful life force may not be afraid of poison, it can never resist the frenzied production of hormones.

Secretion of hormones is not inherently harmful to the body and the body’s defense mechanisms do not resist.

The growth of necromancy lies in two things:

One, it can manipulate the walkers to increase in number and grade; two, the master’s will can descend on the walkers, which is equivalent to a bilocation, and control the walkers’ abilities.

The Dark Compass also had a transformation, its ability to increase at this stage was very balanced, the shadow jumping range was expanded, reaching the realm of “jumping as far as the eye can see”.

In addition, the number of people carrying has increased from one, to four.

The time of incarnating in the shadows was also extended, and as long as Xu Qi’an wished, he could remain latent in the shadows and not appear until his stamina ran out.

In terms of attacks, the Dark Compass has a new skill called “Blindsight”.

Casting a shadow over the enemy’s five senses and six senses, making him “blind”, but not able to restrain Takeshi’s premonition of a crisis.

In terms of defense, the Dark Compass also has a new skill called “Shadow”.

The simple explanation is that the body transforms into an invisible and intangible shadow, causing the enemy’s attacks to fall short.

Lastly, the heart compulsion, at today’s realm, Xu Qi’an finally understood why the heart compulsion was also known as the imperial beast compulsion.

The Heart Compass Mother Compass was like a central processor that could perfectly mobilize and dominate an army made up of beasts. There might be generals in the world who knew how to march and fight better than him, but there was no army in the world whose cooperation could surpass that of a Transcendent Heart Compass Master.

In addition, the Heart Compulsion can also affect beings of low intelligence, including but not limited to humans, beasts, and artifacts.

The higher the IQ, the harder the mind compulsion is to control, and vice versa.

However, this is not absolute; highly intelligent creatures that have been subjected to mind compulsion for a long period of time will turn into less intelligent creatures, and it will be difficult to get rid of the manipulation of the mind compounder again.

This made Xu Qi’an think of the forested areas permeated by the power of heart compulsion, in which the living beings, regardless of whether their intelligence was high or low, had all turned into dead soldiers who only knew how to follow orders.

However, Heart Compassionists had an Achilles’ heel, their individual combat power was too low and they did not have enough life-saving skills.

“The only ones who can compete with the Heart Compassionist on the battlefield are sorcerers, I really don’t know how Wei Gong won the Battle of Shanhaiguan back then. Well, the only means I can think of to restrain the Sorcerer’s Body Control and Heart Compassionist is artillery.

“Beneath the Range is Both Truth ……….”

Lamenting inwardly, Xu Qi’an opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting, his spine muscles tightening like a cheetah poised to strike.

Two feet away in front of him stood a yellow-haired monkey, his gaze mildly scrutinizing him.

Because he didn’t detect any hostile intent, Xu Qi’an pressed down on the urge to strike, but he didn’t completely slacken off either, because the means that could restrain a martial artist’s dangerous precognition happened to be available to the Compulsive Race.

Moving Stars!

“The old body came to see you.”

The yellow-haired monkey with a human mouth and a kindly voice was an aged granny.

“You are ………”

Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered, and a name surfaced in his mind.

“The children call me Granny Sky Compass.”

The yellow-haired monkey smiled.

Sure enough, it was her …….. Xu Qi’an remembered that Lina had said that the one who had entrusted her with the Seven Extinction Compass that day and asked her to bring it to the capital to look for a destined person was this Granny Sky Compass.

The wife of the old man of the heavenly compulsion.

“It’s said that the Heavenly Compass has the power to peer into the future, and now I’ve seen it.”

Xu Qi’an didn’t let his guard down, saying faintly, “Granny’s divine calculations, how could she calculate that I’ve come to the Southern Border and that I’m here.”

The yellow-haired monkey laughed, his tone calm and gentle:

“No, it was Longtu who told me that Lina had gone back to the clan, and I realized that you were on the southern border.

“There are many limitations to peering into the future, and it is not possible at any time and any place. Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t have lost the battle of Shanhaiguan in the first place. Well, it could also be that the Supervisor Zheng shielded the heavenly chances, making it impossible for him to peek at the outcome of the war. This trick is equally effective against sorcerers.

“It is said that Wei Yuan is a rare handsome talent, this is not false, but that supervisor of your Central Plains, what he did behind his back, is only more.”

Xu Qi’an nodded, “Granny personally came to find me, what is it about?”

The yellow-haired monkey slowly said:

“You must have a lot of questions to ask me, and I happen to have something to say to you.

“But this time I came over to give you a piece of advice, just a moment ago, Xu Pingfeng’s disciple approached me.

“He lobbied the leaders of the Companions’ various ministries to ally themselves with the Yunzhou rebels and join forces to attack the Dafeng and carve up the Central Plains.”

F*ck…….. Xu Qi’an’s face sank, “The chiefs of the ministries agreed?”

The yellow-haired monkey nodded:

“Twenty-one years ago at the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Companions lost, all the ministries were unconvinced, and so many people died. This fire has been suppressed for twenty years, and sooner or later it has to be vented.”

Xu Qi’an, who had studied history quite a bit in his previous life, nodded a bit, putting aside his position, the mindset of a defeated country harboring hatred and grudges and attempting to retaliate was normal.

“Long Tu didn’t promise, but if the war situation is unfavorable and the Companions are facing a crisis, there’s no way the Force Compulsion Ministry will sit back and do nothing, and the same goes for the Sky Compulsion Ministry.”

“I understand how difficult it is for my mother-in-law.”

The yellow-haired monkey nodded gently and continued:

“The Seven Extinction Compass is a backhand left behind by the old man, once Xu Pingfeng’s uprising fails, he won’t be able to fulfill his promise, and then the sculpture of the Confucian Sage won’t be able to be repaired.

“That’s why he left behind the Seven Extinction Compulsions as a backhanded way of picking up this karma.

“But what I’m going to say is that if Xu Pingfeng’s uprising can come to fruition, he’ll have to take on this karma by helping the Southern Border to build a nation, ceding the land of the two states, and using the means of a first-rate magus to gather qi for the Companions and repair the sculpture of the Confucian Sage.

“Then the Compassionate God will continue to sleep.

“From the standpoint of the old body, there is really no reason to refuse.”

Xu Qi’an was silent.

“Now a few children are ambushing the Force Compass Ministry, waiting for a chance to surround and kill you. If you don’t want to die, leave quickly. After a while, I’ll have Lina look for you, and I’ll convey to you through Lina the things you want to ask and know.”

The Heavenly Compass Granny maneuvered the yellow-haired monkey and said.

It seems that the determination of the Compulsion Clan to send out troops to Dafeng is not small, the clan has been harboring grievances for a long time, and even the Heavenly Compulsor Granny is not willing to go back on her words. Moreover, the promise Xu Pingfeng gave was to seal the Compassion God, which was a condition that the Compassion Clan could not refuse ………. Xu Qi’an frowned:

“I understand that the Companions want to fight Da Bong.

“The end will either be to destroy the Great Bong and divide up the Central Plains. Either it will break up what little qi the Companions have, and they will never be able to recover, and then they will be completely honest.

“Granny, isn’t there a compromise?”

Granny Sky Compass shook her head.

……… Xu Qi an was silent for a moment and suddenly remembered something and said:

“By the way, I have a magic weapon here that I snatched from Xu Pingfeng.”

He reached into his pocket and gently snapped the fragment of the ground book, taking out a string adorned with pieces of copper, colorful stones, and pieces of jade in the style of the Southern Border.

It was hard for Granny Sky Compass to take her gaze away from the string again, and her gaze was intertwined with complex emotions such as sadness, joy, and remembrance.

“Granny, think again.”

Xu Qi’an said.

Granny Sky Compass pondered for a moment and changed her words:

“The way is naturally there.

“Old me will first talk to you about the battle of Shanhaiguan back then, so that you can understand why the Companions are so hostile to the Great Feng.

“The Buddha Sect is dealing with, mainly, the Southern Demons who are delusional about restoring their country, as well as the Northern Demon Barbarians. The Da Feng dealt with the Witch God Cult, which has a grudge against Emperor Gaozu, and my Compassion Clan.”

“Among the seven ministries, You Corpse of the Corpse and Bone Ministry hated Da Feng the most because his father died under Wei Yuan’s Seven Day Killing Formation. Next is the Love Compass Ministry, back then, Da Feng’s army robbed more than half of the Love Compass Ministry’s women, abolished their cultivation, and filled them into the teaching departments of various places.

“The Poisonous Compass Ministry caused the Da Feng army to suffer heavy deaths and injuries, and Wei Yuan, in a fit of rage, personally led 30,000 cavalrymen in a thousand-mile raid to wipe out the Poisonous Compass Ministry’s warriors in one fell swoop, capturing 5,000 Poisonous Compass clansmen and pitting them in every way possible.

“To this day, the Poisonous Compulsion Ministry still has the smallest population of the seven ministries. However, it was precisely because the clan leaders and elders of the Poisonous Compulsion Tribe were killed or injured along with their elites back then that Tremendous Ji was able to stand out and become the leader.

“He himself doesn’t have much hatred for the Dafeng, and the Poisonous Compassion Ministry relies on the South Border’s abundant poisonous herbs and poisons, and has no ambitions for the Central Plains territories. He is barely considered a neutral faction. But his attitude doesn’t determine the clan’s attitude.

“The Poisonous Compulsion Ministry still hates Da Bong to this day.

“Heart Compass, Dark Compass, and Force Compass can’t talk about hatred like the sea to Da Bong, but they certainly don’t have good feelings is all.

“As for my old self’s Celestial Compass Ministry, hatred cannot shake the wisdom of the Celestial Compass, but the Compass God has always been an issue of importance to my ministry, and whoever can seal the Compass God will have our support.”

Wei Gong was also too ruthless back then, simply from the east street cut to the west street, the eyes do not blink the ruthless role ……….. Xu Qi An frowned.

There was no way that such a compulsion clan could be an ally of Da Feng.

Granny Sky Compass was wearing a smile on her face:

“I’ve said all that needs to be said. How you respond is up to you.”

After saying that, beckoning and ingesting the string, carefully wearing it on his wrist, the yellow-haired monkey raised his head and left.

…………

In the face of You Corpse’s questioning, the Grand Elder dropped his crutches, puffed out his chest to show off his lanky, swollen muscles, and coldly grunted:

“Xu Qi’an is a friend of the Force Compulsion Ministry.”

Yo Corpse said in a hoarse voice:

“It’s also an enemy of the Compass Clan, we won’t fight on the territory of the Force Compass Ministry. But if you guys dare to obstruct, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Several other elders had dropped their crutches and puffed out their muscular chests:

“Want to fight? Come on!”

Chunyan from the Heart Compulsion Department rolled her eyes and said without any goodwill:

“You don’t know what kind of character these muscular wild monkeys have? Playing with death to get their brains out?”

The clansmen of the Force Compulsion Department are the most impervious to agitation, and once they get on top of it, it’s all six of their relatives.

Luan Yu said with a smile:

“A few elders don’t get on his bad side, the Compass Clan is united by the same spirit, we can understand that the Force Compass Ministry is not good at stepping in.

“Just watch later, don’t worry, slave will keep him alive.”

The six elders then grunted as their faces improved:

“It’s your business if you want to trouble Xu Qi’an, but now get the hell out of the Force Compulsion Ministry territory. As long as he’s still in the Force Compulsion Ministry for a single day, you won’t be allowed to act recklessly.”

They still wanted to keep Xu Qi’an alive.

The leader of the Companions had come out in full force, and even if Long Tu did not intervene, this number of experts was not something Xu Qi’an could handle.

Although he had killed Vajra, even Lohan wouldn’t dare to kill the Companions single-handedly.

And if Xu Qi’an were to die here, Xu Lingyin, the little waif, would surely harbor resentment in the future.

Heart Compass Master Chunyan’s ears moved slightly, listening for a moment, and whispered:

“He is not in the Force Compulsion Ministry, not long ago, left with the elders of the Force Compulsion Ministry and did not return.”

She communicated with the snakes, insects, rats, ants, and birds around the Force Compulsion Department and pried information from them.

It’s worth mentioning that animals are extremely scarce around the Rikko section.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants and the like, it was mainly because of good hiding skills that they were not driven to extinction by the barbarians of the Likang division.

“Where to go!”

Yo Corpse asked in a deep voice.

“I don’t know.” Chunyan shook her head.

At that moment, her soulful almond eyes, fiercely bright, looked sideways to the end of the plain:

“He’s back.”

Without any hesitation, the Dark Compass leader drummed up a cloud of shadows that enveloped several of the leaders and disappeared into the shade with them.

The face of the Grand Elder and the others changed drastically, and with extreme vision, they saw a young man in green robes, standing at the end of the plains, not moving at all, seemingly waiting.

“Bad, how did he get back in time for this.”

The Grand Elder cursed angrily.
