Angelina exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's the same as yours?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "How would I know? It's probably a coincidence. Why don't you choose again?"

The Fortune Teller laughed and said, "Although it's the same five cards, the result is completely different. Let this old one explain it to you."

"We don't need your explanation. Let's go!"

Jiang Chen left with Angelina, who looked back reluctantly.

The Fortune Teller shook his head and sighed. "What a pity..."

The Fortune Teller silently packed up his stall. Time to go home!

「From then on, that Fortune Teller was never seen again, until several years later.」

The three of them passed through the Teleportation Array and left the black market.

After several turns, Jiang Chen and his companions appeared in the Xileruo World, still wearing their masks. Just as Arno was about to remove his mask, Jiang Chen said, "Wait, don't remove your masks yet."

"Why not?"

Jiang Chen turned around and, with a flash, placed his sword on the neck of a young man. The young man's expression changed upon realizing he had been discovered.

The young man began to gather his True Qi.

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Let's see if your True Qi is faster or if my sword is. Before you can release your True Qi, I will cut your throat."

The youth lowered his right hand.

Jiang Chen demanded, "Now, I ask, you answer. Understood? If you don't, you'll know the consequences."

The young man nodded.

"Why are you following me?"

"Our boss wants to know who you are."

"Your boss is the Wanderer, the one from the tavern?"

The young man nodded. "Yes."

"What is her objective?"

"I don't know what the boss's objective is; she just told me to follow you. She wants to know your identity and what connection you have with Siyuan."

"Do you know Siyuan?"

"No."

"So, does your boss know Siyuan?"

"I don't know."

"Which association do you belong to?"

The young man was silent for a moment. Jiang Chen's sword pressed in another fraction, and a drop of blood trickled from the blade. The youth's expression changed drastically. "Heavenly Earth Association."

"Is the Heavenly Earth Association Leader Chen Jinnan?"

"No, it isn't."

Jiang Chen sheathed his sword and said coldly, "Get lost. Don't follow me again, or I won't hesitate to kill you."

The young man watched as Jiang Chen walked away. He had no choice but to return.

Arno asked, "Who is Chen Jinnan?"

"I was just asking casually."

Who is Chen Jinnan? Arno muttered to himself. Could he be a powerful figure? I need to find an opportunity to find out who this person really is.

Before leaving, Arno gave Jiang Chen a Black Market Token. Jiang Chen placed it into his Space. He definitely needed this token.

In the future, accessing the black market would be much more convenient. It would also allow him to uncover many secrets.

「At the Fallen Tavern.」

Jin Yunxi asked, "How did the tailing go? Do you know the target's identity?"

"It failed."

"You were discovered?"

"Yes, this person's Perception is very strong, as if he knew I was following him from the start. This person is definitely not one of us. He didn't have True Qi; he's a Hero from the Continent of All-Gods."

Jin Yunxi said, "I know that. Did you find anything else?"

"I don't know who the man and woman are, but I do know one of them. He is Gregory Arno from the Gregory Family, and he often comes here for barbecue."

"Don't underestimate him; he's certainly not just here for meat. You're dismissed. I'll have someone investigate."

The scout left, then stopped in his tracks.

"Is there something else?"

"That person asked me if the Heavenly Earth Association Leader is Chen Jinnan, so he might know Chen Jinnan."

Jin Yunxi nodded. Chen Jinnan? Who is this person? Could it be that another powerful expert has emerged within the Heavenly Earth Association?

"I will investigate."

Jin Yunxi turned and walked out, heading to the neighboring Orc Assassination Guild. As she entered, the attendant, seeing Jin Yunxi come in, smiled and said, "Madam Boss, what brings you here?"

"I want to know the recent situation of the Gregory Family. Has any powerful individual wielding a Thin Sword appeared recently?"

"You should know the rules."

Jin Yunxi took out a card and handed it over.

Soon, the attendant had found some information.

"Indeed, there is a Swordsman who wields a Thin Sword. This person is named Jiang Chen, and he comes from the Human World. He is now within the Secret Sword Legion, where the legion leader is Gregory Arlin. Huh, this person's danger rating is extremely high."

"This person once participated in an operation to encircle and suppress Wanderers, disappeared for two days, and killed one Wanderer."

"He recently participated in the battle against the Defiled Camp, slaying 130,000 Corrupted Heroes. Single-handedly, he withstood an Evil Army of one million."

"Even the Son of God from the Defiled Camp couldn't kill him. According to our intelligence, killing him would require a surprise attack by an assassin of Fourth-stage or higher."

Jin Yunxi pondered. Fourth-stage professionals. Indeed a powerful expert.

"Do you want to post a mission?"

"No, I'm just here for information, not to post a mission."

Jin Yunxi turned and left.

He's a Swordsman... could he be a spy planted by Siyuan? Jin Yunxi knew what being a Swordsman implied. It meant that, like them, his ancestors were also Wanderers. However, some had surrendered to the Alliance of All-Gods, while others had roamed free, eventually becoming the current Fallen. And the Swordsman Class was a profession that had evolved based on the combat styles of The Fallen. At this moment, Jin Yunxi was greatly shocked. Judging from the data, this Swordsman Class had already surpassed their Wanderers' Sword Qi. What kind of Swordsman could slaughter 130,000 Corrupted Heroes? What kind of Swordsman could withstand an army of a million? Jin Yunxi had never imagined that such a powerful Swordsman could exist. Even she would be incapable of killing 130,000 Corrupted Heroes. Even if they just stood there and let her cut them down, it would probably take her half a year. She had to report this immediately. Also, that Chen Jinnan fellow... this Jiang Chen definitely knew him. She needed to investigate Chen Jinnan's background too.

Just as Jin Yunxi was leaving, a Hero entered the Orc Alliance.

He casually took out a purse.

"I want to look someone up."

"Who?"

"Chen Jinnan... He's a Wanderer, and quite possibly the Heavenly Earth Association Leader."

Another Hero entered.

"I want someone killed."

"Who?"

"Secret Sword Legion, Jiang Chen..."

"The price is 3 billion."

Jiang Chen and Angelina returned to the Legion Alliance.

It was already nighttime.

Angelina asked, "Jiang Chen, why is our future the same?"

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words. "Why are you thinking about this again?" What was wrong with this woman? Her expression had been grim ever since they left the black market; she'd been gloomy the entire way.

"I just want a definite answer. Why are our Tarot Cards the same? I think it must not be a coincidence. Could it be that I will die just like you will?"

Jiang Chen placed his hands on Angelina's shoulders and said earnestly, "You should never believe in any predictions about the future; they are all deceitful tricks. Angelina, you must believe that destiny is always in one's own hands, not in some nebulous fate."

Angelina nodded. "Oh."

"Then next time we go to the black market, we should ask the Prophet again."

Jiang Chen was completely speechless. Why is this woman still talking about this? Couldn't she talk about something else?
