I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1061: Chapter 776: Back to Normal

The Ahn family knows a lot about Zheng Yichen, the Proxy Agent. Before the worlds were balanced, he was someone capable of God-slaying. Perhaps there was a chance to take out an agent like him... maybe?

After the worlds have been balanced, the strength of Proxy Agents will become increasingly exaggerated. Were they insane to provoke such an existence?

When faced with this matter, the minds of the Ahn family’s upper echelon were especially clear: investigate! They must thoroughly investigate.

Whoever is involved in this matter, without a second word, they would go straight for a cutting, the kind that cuts both the good and the bad flesh. As for concealment? Such foolish acts cannot be committed.

Even after finding out what’s going on, they couldn’t even carry out a silencing operation. The best thing to do would be to send those people to Zheng Yichen’s side and let him re-investigate them.

If things remain unclear, then forget about cooperating with this Proxy Agent in the future—just relocate. But if things are clarified, there is no need for them to relocate and start planning for advancement.

They can carry it out locally in Hazy City and continue to cooperate with this agent in the future.

In the past, when the surroundings weren’t high-grade enough, they could barely digest a complete set of magic knowledge. Now that the environment has strengthened, the Ahn family’s aspirations and pursuits have also grown higher.

After a thorough investigation, they weeded out quite a few problematic individuals, with even a couple of high-ranking family elders being dealt with. Fortunately, none of those dealt with had any ties with the Equilibrists.

As for those who were disposed of, in times of emergency, drastic measures are taken. The enhancement of the environment also represented a turning point for the Ahn family, and getting rid of those deeply hidden problems was greatly beneficial to the family’s transformation.

What’s done is done.

Ahn Qi formally handed over all operation records to Zheng Yichen, and Zheng Yichen was somewhat taken aback after hearing this—how ruthless the Ahn family was towards him.

According to Lilith’s analysis, with this round of purging, the core number of the Ahn family had shrunk by nearly one-fifth. The Ahn family focused their investigation on matters related to the Equilibrists, but in the process, they devised a new set of standards.

Any issues that exceed these standards were dealt with, while those that didn’t were left for the time being.

When a large family has developed for a long time, many in the family naturally engage in some ’private dealings’. Some do so without affecting the family’s interests, while others want more. Previously concealed well, this time they couldn’t hide anymore—finished.

"It’s not the Ahn family’s problem; even if other families are involved, it’s not something the Ahn family can investigate. However, we will pay attention to these matters."

With the family affairs sorted out, Ahn Qi spoke with much more confidence at Zheng Yichen’s side.

Other families? It would be best if they had problems. If they did, and Zheng Yichen wanted to take care of them in the future, the Ahn family could lend a helping hand in the matter.

Zheng Yichen was becoming more and more powerful. There wasn’t much the Ahn family could do to help him, but they were particularly eager to maintain a good relationship for the long term.

Unable to assist elsewhere, there were still many things they could do within their native world.

"We’ll see when we find out in the future."

Ahn Qi nodded and continued, "Our people have analyzed some issues. The Equilibrists, while trying to balance the worlds, may not come into contact with any family members."

They weren’t foolish—engaging with the families would indeed offer great convenience, but what Hazy City has in abundance are the Dusk mercenaries. Those families knew too much.

Contact with them might lead to failure. What if a member of those families got hold of an Equilibrist or two? Wouldn’t that let them hit the jackpot?

For the Dusk mercenaries supported by those families, that would be an extraordinarily profitable situation. Getting the merit points and sharing them fifty-fifty with the cooperating families was something all Dusk mercenaries were willing to do!

Almost like picking up merit points for nothing—who would refuse?

"The Aberrant creatures of Hazy City have been affected. Does this have something to do with you?" With the most critical issues taken care of, Ahn Qi brought up another topic.

The involvement of the Ahn family in the events of Hazy City was not significant this time; their primary focus was on internal investigations, leaving them little energy to do much else.

On her way here, she’d received news that the aberrant creatures in Hazy City had weakened. Someone had also spotted a huge ’aura’ outside Hazy City.

This aura floated above Hazy City, like the northern lights, and the changes in Hazy City must be related to this aura. Her family had also arranged for an investigation, only to find the aura was decoration-like—approaching it only touched air.

Energy fluctuations were detected with instruments, but those fluctuations were not something they could interfere with.

Next was locational investigation to find the aura’s center, but still, there was nothing there, just an ordinary building with nothing inside.

That place was the center of the aura, and someone had already purchased it for a large sum of money. In these special times, to forcefully take it would be tantamount to seeking death.

"I am a kind-hearted person; I cannot bear to see people die because of the Equilibrists," Zheng Yichen said with a smile.

Ahn Qi nodded, not pressing further. She remembered the flag planted in the yard when she arrived... surely Zheng Yichen wouldn’t be doing something trivial, right?

No matter what, the appearance of the light green aura improved the situation in Hazy City, and for the people here, it was a good thing.

Ahn Qi did not stay long at Zheng Yichen’s home. Having received new information, she naturally had things to attend to. The Ascension Plan began immediately after their self-examination was completed. The Ahn family was eager to take advantage of the changes brought about by the new environment.

The best way was to contribute more to Misty City, gain a better reputation, and take deeper roots here. If they didn’t act, other families would.

The Ahn family could not afford to leave the Misty City World now.

Overnight, the residents of Misty City discovered that the once troubled areas had undergone great change. Although the external vigilance remained, the official message had been released.

They announced that a new round of clearing could be completed within three days, ensuring residents’ normal travels, and work that had stopped could resume, among other things. The places that were once the most dangerous quickly climbed to the heights of the safest terrain.

New city planning was underway, and some noticed the halo encircling the skies of Misty City. That thing couldn’t be hidden, so the authorities straightforwardly stated that it was the halo that had weakened the Aberrant creatures in Misty City.

At the same time, they issued a significant reward, seeking those with information related to the halo. Upon confirmation of such information, various levels of monetary rewards would be provided based on the significance of the information.

Misty City officials wanted to find the person who created the halo, even engaging with local Dusk mercenaries and leveraging relations. The likeliness was that the person associated with Dusk was responsible for such a phenomenon.

Simply because the locals did not have such capacity.

Either the Dusk mercenaries brought back something valuable from another world, or some powerful beings arrived in this world through a Phenomenon and, seeing the dire situation in Misty City, lent a hand by creating the halo.

Other possibilities?

If it involved the locals, it wasn’t entirely impossible. The major families all had Alien Phenomenon hunting groups; perhaps they acquired something valuable from some world.

However, faced with this reward, the major families maintained their silence. They helped Misty City clear the Aberrant creatures and restore order and losses, but no one stepped forward on their own initiative.

They weren’t foolish. Beings capable of causing such a stir were probably not to be trifled with. Step forward to take credit? Some things could be reached for easily, but others courted disaster.

The world had just been balanced, and sticking one’s neck out was too risky.

Moreover, this matter might also be related to the Proxy Agents. So this particular ’credit’ was better forfeited. Of course, if they couldn’t receive it, neither should any other family.

Those who stepped forward? Fine, let them prove it first. Those who hadn’t stepped forward would become stern overseers in this matter.

Those stepping into the spotlight couldn’t hope to hide their involvement either. With such a substantial bounty hanging, the officials would heavily publicize it first.

Misty City gradually restored its normal order, a cause for celebration. Although the streets were patrolled more frequently, travel resumed to normal after a few days.

Though Phenomena could not be suppressed or eliminated, the force generated by the Holy Domain banner could act as a ’warning’ to the other end of a Phenomenon.

Beings capable of sensing this warning possessed a certain level of Strength, while those that didn’t, posed little threat even if they did come over.

This also resulted in a decrease in attacks from the other end of the Phenomena.

When Zheng Yichen went out with Liu Hongzhao and her group, they did not encounter any significant attacks.

He had thought if they did encounter one, he would just attack directly. Since the other side didn’t hesitate to attack, why would he be polite to them?

There was no negotiating, misunderstanding? There were no misunderstandings!

But since there were no encounters, there wasn’t much they could do. In the end, Zheng Yichen visited the southern forest, which had undergone huge changes in less than a month. The variety of species there had become richer.

There were many more creatures from alien worlds.

"Brother Chang Qing, it seems like the number of Phenomena in this area is still increasing?" Qi Xiangyun, looking at the corpse of some magical beast beneath her feet, swung her sword to collect the useful materials.

"It’s not an illusion, they are indeed increasing," Zheng Yichen observed as he looked at the Phenomenon nearby, where a pair of ice-blue Eyes could faintly be seen on the other side.

Facing those Eyes, Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, an aura of rampage emanating from him. The ice-blue Eyes trembled slightly before quickly disappearing.

"They’re gone," Zheng Yichen looked at the meat Qi Xiangyun had cut out, which would be their hotpot for the evening.

For ingredients, they stopped going to the market and instead went directly to the southern forest for their supplies.

As long as they came here, they would always encounter some dangerous magical beasts from alien worlds. Those with intelligence were avoided, but those without who attacked were considered ingredients.

After returning, Qi Xiangyun processed the ingredients while Zheng Yichen headed to the laboratory to find Ahn Ke and began their routine check. The characteristics of the Ark of Life remained as they were, as long as they did not weaken, there would be no issues.

Moreover, over the days that passed, the related characteristics had actually strengthened significantly. As long as a Life Archive could be completed once, everything would be stable.
