A woman, with ice element bloodline and stunning beauty; a man, a devil cultivator; another woman, with a fire element bloodline; an old Daoist priest, a sword cultivator; and seven other young women.
The old man’s gaze fell on the nuclear energy crystal on the table, and a glint appeared in his misty eyes.
Then he nodded slightly, stretched out his wrinkled fingers and gently pressed them on the crystal, closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, the crystal had disappeared, replaced by an ethereal golden beam of light that entered his forehead.
“Please wait a moment.”
The old man slowly got up, turned around, and disappeared into the hidden door behind him.
The lobby fell silent. Hao Ling stood beside David, not daring to make a sound.
He occasionally stole glances at David’s profile, only to see that David’s purple eyes were calm like still water, without the slightest sign of anxiety or anticipation, as if everything in the world was under his control.
After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the old man reappeared from the hidden door, holding a piece of pale gold colored jade paper in his hand.
He placed the jade slip on the table, his wistful gaze fixed on David: “I have found some information about the customer. However the price needs to be increased a little.”
David then took out another nuclear energy crystal and placed it on the table.
The old man nodded slightly, pushed the jade scroll away, and said in a calm voice, “The female cultivator you are looking for has indeed been found.”
Three days ago, near the Blood Abyss outside Haoyue City in the southwest, a patrol team belonging to the Blood Refining Sect captured a female cultivator from outside the city.
This woman’s cultivation level was not high, roughly equivalent to a first level Grand Luo Golden Immortal, but she possessed the extremely rare ‘Mysterious Ice Dao Body’, with pure bloodline and powerful origin, which perfectly matched the ‘Red Sun Smelting Flame Technique’ cultivated by the Divine Blood Refining Sect Master.
The sect leader was overjoyed at the news and had set a good day to cultivate and fuse with the female cultivator, using the Xuanbing Dao Body to harmonize the Chiyang Technique, in the hope of breaking through the barrier of the fourth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
When David heard the words “Mysterious Ice Dao Body”, his purple eyes suddenly narrowed.
Jiang Xue Lan.
It’s definitely him.
The old man continued, “According to the information obtained by the Chamber of Commerce, the sect leader of the Divine Blood Refining Sect had imprisoned that female cultivator in the sect’s core forbidden area, the ‘Crimson Flame Heavenly Prison,’ where she was guarded day and night by several Grand Luo Golden Immortal elders, and there were also Grand Luo Golden Immortal protectors stationed at the outer perimeter.”
Although the strength of the Divine Blood Refining Sect was not the top in the Twenty-second Heaven, the sect leader himself had the cultivation of the fourth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his protective array was an ancient inheritance, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators below the fifth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to break through.
David’s expression remained calm, even though the chaotic energy around him increased slightly before quickly returning to a stable state.
He slowly asked, “Where is the Divine Blood Refining Sect located? What is the exact location of the Scarlet Flame Heavenly Prison?”
The old man glanced at David, a scrutinizing and curious look radiating from his misty eyes, as if he was assessing whether the young cultivator before him had the courage to barge into the territory of the Divine Blood Refining Sect to save the people.
But he didn’t ask any further questions, and just reached out again: “This is the price for additional information.”
David took out the nuclear energy crystal for the third time and placed it on the table.
The old man accepted it, and with his wrinkled fingers gently rubbed the jade plate. The words on the surface of the jade plate flowed slightly, turning into clear location coordinate lines and a topographic map.
The Divine Blood Refining Sect was located deep within the Blood Abyss Rift Valley, tens of thousands of miles to the southwest. The Red Flame Heavenly Prison was built in a magma cave at the bottom of the rift valley.
David put the jade scroll into his sleeve and turned to leave.
His gray robe fluttered in the wind, his steps were unhurried, and his manner was calm and collected, but everyone in the hall felt an invisible pressure, and even the air felt stagnant.
Hao Ling immediately followed, his steps quick, and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty are you going to force your way into the Divine Blood Refining Sect?”
David didn’t turn around, his voice calm but containing undeniable certainty: “They got my people.”
Six simple words, without unnecessary embellishments or deliberate threats, gave Hao Ling the creeps.
He watched David’s gray-robed figure from behind, his throat tightened, but he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and followed in silence.
After leaving the Void Merchant Guild, the two soared into the sky, turning into two streaks of light, one gray and one gold, then sped towards the southwest.
