Chapter 231: The Informant, Qin Chuan
🕑 Added 2024-10-16 14:47:03 +0000 UTCChiming Academy!
As the premier academy of the Chiming Domain, its status was equal to that of the entire region itself. It was the principal academy of the southwestern territories.
Its stature was even higher than regular academies like Ziyun Academy, and naturally, its foundation was much stronger.
Chiming Academy had a Martial Emperor overseeing it, and the elders of the academy were mostly at the Quasi-Emperor level!
At this moment, inside the grand hall of Chiming Academy, all the elders were gathered.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
"This time, after the Immortal Grass Secret Realm was opened, it seems that all the disciples we sent have returned empty-handed. This is unusual," said one elder.
"Indeed, many of these disciples have strong family backgrounds. Their elders must have given them information about where the immortal grasses were located. How is it that not a single stalk was found?" another elder frowned.
"It’s obvious something is wrong here. But the disciples refuse to speak, as if they’re deliberately hiding something."
"And it's not our place to force them. It’s their own matter. If they don’t want to say anything, we can’t make them," another elder added.
At this moment, one of the elders spoke up:
"I’ve heard from an old friend in the Bei Emperor Wang family that their young ones are facing a similar situation."
"What?!"
"This..."
All the elders were shocked.
If it had only been their academy's disciples experiencing this, it could have been written off as bad luck. But if everyone was encountering the same issue, then it wasn’t just a personal problem—it was an environmental one.
Which meant...
Something might have happened in the Immortal Grass Secret Realm!
"Should we report this to the Palace Master? If something went wrong in the secret realm, it’s proper that the Palace Master inform the Sacred Hall."
An elder asked.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a breeze swept into the grand hall, swirling around the main seat before manifesting into a handsome, white-haired young man.
"No need. I’m already here."
The white-haired youth reclined lazily on the throne, propping his head up with his right hand, his expression relaxed.
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
All the elders quickly stood and saluted, their eyes filled with respect.
Their respect wasn’t just for his position; it stemmed from the fact that he was a true Martial Emperor!
A Martial Emperor held an extraordinary significance across the Jiucang Continent, embodying the faith and awe of countless people.
They were legends.
They were myths come to life!
The white-haired youth scanned the crowd and smirked playfully.
"This matter is indeed worth reporting to the Sacred Hall. Who knows... we might catch a big fish."
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, his head snapped up, and his eyes shone with brilliant light. His terrifying Martial Emperor’s divine sense shot into the sky, piercing through the grand hall and into the heavens!
Then, he paused.
"Palace Master, what is it?" the elders asked nervously.
The white-haired youth was silent for a moment, then burst into a bright smile.
"A good person, who wishes to remain anonymous, has just sent me a huge gift... a very, very big gift."
A good person?
A huge gift?
The elders were dumbfounded, but the white-haired youth flashed them a mysterious grin. Without saying another word, he vanished from the hall.
The elders exchanged puzzled glances.
In the next moment, the white-haired youth appeared in the sky above Chiming Academy, his hand reaching out to catch a simple black iron spear that had flown in from afar.
The spear was engraved with a wealth of information.
It contained maps, diagrams, and written records—combined, it detailed the methods and procedures to infiltrate the Tianheng Clan’s Tianxuan Palace...
All in meticulous detail.
While outsiders might be clueless, an expert like the white-haired youth, a Martial Emperor, needed only a glance to confirm its authenticity!
His breath quickened.
Tianxuan Palace!
That was one of the Tianheng Clan's most significant organizations, hidden deep within the Jiucang Realm. Not only was it a powerful force, but it was also highly skilled in the study of formations, constantly scheming to unseal the imprisoned Tianheng Clan powerhouses.
For the Jiucang Human Sacred Hall, they were a thorn in the side.
Many Martial Emperors found it unbearable that this force still existed!
But the Tianxuan Palace was adept at concealment. Despite years of searching, the Jiucang Sacred Hall had never managed to find their lair.
That only made things more frustrating.
It was like a fly buzzing endlessly in front of your face—annoying, but impossible to catch!
But now...
The location of Tianxuan Palace had been found. The excitement swelling in the white-haired youth's heart was indescribable.
"Such vital information... inscribed on a simple black iron spear? Brother, just how stingy can you be..."
The white-haired youth took a deep breath, half laughing, half crying. At the very least, this kind of information deserved to be engraved on an imperial weapon!
"Still, I can’t trust this completely."
"After all, this is unverified information. It could very well be a trap set by the Tianheng Clan for us."
"If the Sacred Hall’s Martial Emperors charge in recklessly, they could be teleported into a killing formation, leading to disastrous losses."
"I’ll have some confident young people go in and scout first. If it’s really Tianxuan Palace, then the Martial Emperors can storm in."
With these thoughts, he began to send a message to the Human Sacred Hall.
"Buzz!"
With a wave of his hand, the space in front of him distorted, revealing a golden vortex. Soon, the face of an elderly man appeared on the other side.
The elder waved his hand, establishing a spatial connection between them.
"Palace Master Bai, what can I do for you?" the elder asked politely.
"I have urgent news for the Sacred Hall. It’s a matter of great importance."
The white-haired youth’s tone was serious.
The elder's expression also grew grave. "Understood. Please send the information over."
The white-haired youth used his Martial Emperor’s divine sense to copy the information from the black iron spear and condensed his own thoughts and suggestions into a golden scroll. He sent it through the vortex.
A few seconds later, the elder on the other side retrieved a golden scroll from the vortex, waved it at the white-haired youth, and said:
"I’ve received it. I’ll report it to the Hall Masters immediately."
With that, the elder closed the vortex, and the one on the white-haired youth's side vanished as well.
"Let’s hope everything goes smoothly."
The white-haired youth took a deep breath, then smiled.
He cast a fleeting glance at the sky, chuckled, and shrugged before turning back to Chiming Academy.
His instincts told him that the person who had sent the message was still nearby. But since this person wished to remain hidden, he decided to respect their wishes.
Besides, this individual’s concealment skills were top-notch. Even if he wanted to find them, it wasn’t guaranteed that he could.
Meanwhile...
Far away in the sky, an invisible Qin Chuan finally relaxed, secretly amazed at the sensitivity of Martial Emperors.
"But... these Martial Emperors are really playing at a high level. Bluetooth-like connections, spatial wormholes—are these guys scientists in disguise?"
Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s often said that the end of science is theology. But could it be that these gods have looped back around and started dabbling in science?
After a brief chuckle, he began pondering more seriously:
"Emperor Kun is still trapped in the secret realm and hasn’t escaped, so any news about Nightingale's mishap won’t reach Tianxuan Palace. They’ll assume that Nightingale is still rescuing Emperor Kun in the secret realm."
"As long as Nightingale isn’t dead, even if Tianxuan Palace has something like a soul lamp, they won’t know he’s already in trouble."
"Tianxuan Palace won’t realize something is wrong for now, and they won’t change their entry procedures—updating it is too complicated anyway."
"So, as long as the Jiucang Sacred Hall follows the steps I gave them, they’ll be able to launch a successful strike against Tianxuan Palace."
"Tianxuan Palace... is finished."
