Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 383: Chapter 381: Fourth Order Secret Envoy (10 more!)

“Worship, we must worship indeed!”

“This person is truly a role model for our generation, daring to challenge even the Super Sects. If the Sect of the Battle God fails to locate him in the end, their authority will be severely undermined.”

“The person is only in the Dragon God Realm. Why is he so hard to find?”

“Nonsense, the Dragon Martial Continent is vast, and from start to finish, those incompetents from the Sect of the Battle God’s branches don’t even know what he looks like, nor do they know his true identity. They only know he wears black clothes and a bamboo hat. Isn’t this ridiculous? There are many people dressed in black and wearing bamboo hats. What’s the use of saying these things?”

“Indeed, his disguise is excellent. The Sect of the Battle God doesn’t know his identity. As long as he changes into different clothes, who could recognize him?”

“The Sect of the Battle God really messed up this time. I wonder why they provoked such a scourge. You say he is after wealth, yet he specifically killed all those in Dragon Pill Realm. If he wasn’t after wealth and merely wanted to kill, why then did he release those in the Dragon God Realm and lower?”

“Speaking of this, it is indeed strange. He destroyed the Sect of the Battle God’s stronghold, yet specifically targeted almost all from the Dragon Pill Realm. Why is that?”

“This matter has nothing to do with us. If the Sect of the Battle God finds out we’re discussing this, we’ll be in trouble.”

“What’s there to fear? On the Dragon Martial Continent, there are ten Super Sects, not only the Sect of the Battle God. We are billions of miles away from them. Even if they had ears as sharp as the wind, they couldn’t hear us.”

“Hmph, I fear we are not the only ones discussing this at the moment. It is said that the entire Dragon Martial Continent knows about it.”

“Indeed, under this person’s efforts, the dignity of the Sect of the Battle God has been completely swept away. They are furious and have said they are preparing to have the Cold Gold Guard take action.”

“The Cold Gold Guard? Isn’t that the ace unit of the Sect of the Battle God? It’s said that each of them is in the Dragon God Realm, and at least in the Dragon God Realm Mid Stage, and at worst, they possess a Low-Grade Purple Gold Level Dragon Technique, with some even mastering several. The higher-ups of the Cold Gold Guard even possess Holy Spirit-Level Dragon Techniques!”

“It seems the Sect of the Battle God is truly enraged this time.”

“Nonsense, they’ve been hit right on the nose. If they weren’t angry now, then they wouldn’t be called the Sect of the Battle God.”

…

The entire Dragon Martial Continent is in a state of unease.

Almost everyone is discussing this matter.

The Dragon Martial Continent, under the suppression of the Top Ten Super Sects, has been peaceful for a very, very long time.

The sudden occurrence of such an event indeed became the talk of the town after meals.

But as casual as the chats were, the Sect of the Battle God is a Super Sect, a behemoth lying in the Central Domain of the Dragon Martial Continent. Everyone believes that this perpetrator is merely a flash in the pan, and under the wrath of the Sect of the Battle God, the culprit will soon be captured.

The power of one individual will ultimately not surpass the power of a sect.

Especially when the sect is a Super Sect!

…

In Dongling Kingdom, Yuanshan County, Phoenix Sect Residence.

All the individuals had entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son for cultivation.

That day, the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation suddenly shook.

Within the sect residence, a figure emerged from the void, it was Shen Li.

His cultivation base had reached the Dragon God Realm Late Peak, and he was on the verge of breakthrough.

The reason he appeared was naturally because he felt the tremors from the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation.

Standing in the void, he could see a person outside the sect residence, trying to get in.

The man had a somewhat unfamiliar face, not someone Shen Li knew. His eyes were fixed on the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation with a strange glimmer flickering in them.

“Who are you?”

Shen Li’s voice, like thunder, penetrated through the nine layers of clouds and reached the ears of this person.

This person shuddered slightly and then revealed a smile.

“Liu Wu, Fourth Order Secret Envoy of Nine Heavens Tower, here to transport items,” he said.

“Nine Heavens Tower? A Fourth Order Secret Envoy?”

Upon hearing this, a look of shock appeared on Shen Li’s face.

He naturally knew what Nine Heavens Tower was—it was an extremely powerful force, comparable to a Super Sect.

The primary businesses of Nine Heavens Tower were trading information, assassination, and transporting items.

Nine Heavens Tower had many branches, but the least of these were located in the imperial capitals of kingdoms; as long as one paid enough gold coins or spirit stones, they could transport items across the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

Of course, the longer the distance, the higher the price.

Furthermore, the cost was determined based on the rank of the Secret Envoy.

In Nine Heavens Tower, those who transported items were called ‘Secret Envoys’, and these envoys were ranked from First Order to Ninth Order.

Just like in a sect, a Ninth Order Secret Envoy was the lowest rank, possessing the lowest Cultivation Base, while a First Order Secret Envoy was the highest.

Above a First Order Secret Envoy, there were two further ranks—Silver Emissaries and Gold Emissaries.

These two ranks could be attained by envoys from First Order to Ninth Order based on their task completion rate.

A Silver Emissary’s starting price was one million spirit stones, while a Gold Emissary’s starting price was two million.

This means that even for a distance of ten meters, if one required these envoys to transfer items, the cost would not be less than one million to two million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

The enormity of these amounts was truly staggering and without extremely precious items, no one would hire them.

A Fourth Order Secret Envoy in Nine Heavens Tower already held a very high status.

Typically, to reach this level, one must possess at least a Dragon God Realm cultivation base. They all started as Ninth Order Secret Envoys and had been promoted step by step, having traveled an exceedingly long journey. Without sufficient cultivation, one simply couldn’t cross such distances in a short period, much less ensure the safe delivery of the items.

“May I know what items the esteemed envoy is transporting to our humble Ninth-Rate Sect?”

Although Shen Li felt shocked by this person’s identity, he was also puzzled and furrowed his brow as he asked.

Liu Wu smiled faintly and with a flip of his hand, he took out a token and several space rings.

Liu Wu was not his real name; it was merely a code name.

“This item is my Secret Envoy Token,” he said.

Liu Wu first extended the token for Shen Li to see.

He couldn’t see through the mist, but he knew Shen Li would definitely be able to see it.

The token bore two large characters—Fourth Order!

This clearly and definitively confirmed Liu Wu’s identity.

After putting away the token, Liu Wu continued, “These space rings are the items I’ve been assigned to transport by Nine Heavens Tower.”

As he finished speaking, Liu Wu waved his palm, and the space rings immediately floated in the void.

“Are these for my Phoenix Sect?”

Shen Li’s frown deepened; he couldn’t understand what kind of items would necessitate a Fourth Order Secret Envoy from Nine Heavens Tower to personally escort them, nor could he fathom who would send items to the Phoenix Sect.
