Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 390: Chapter 388: Purchasing Information (17th Update!)

The man in white was, of course, Su Han, who had already changed out of his black clothing.

Su Han’s current appearance was not his true face, but one he had disguised.

If one were to speak honestly, his actual features were vastly different, normally described as delicate and tolerable. However, Su Han now possessed an indescribable handsomeness, as if his entire being was enveloped in a soft glow; the faint smile that perpetually graced his lips caused the hearts of the women who made eye contact to flutter like little deer, their cheeks blushing red.

“Is appearance really that important?”

Su Han shook his head and smiled faintly, as he wasn’t particularly interested in beauty.

An hour later, under the watchful gaze of many, Su Han arrived at a massive building.

This building was none other than a branch of the Nine Heavens Tower.

“Sir, your countenance is truly a masterpiece of nature, crafted with intent. I am immensely envious,” said a young man standing at the door, unable to help himself from speaking as he saw Su Han approaching.

These words were not flattery but heartfelt. However, the young man had no idea that Su Han had altered his appearance.

Su Han flipped his hand over, revealing a pouch containing one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which he threw directly to the young man.

“Take me to a quiet place.”

“Yes.”

The young man’s expression brightened, and as his Divine Sense swept over the pouch and detected the Spirit Stones inside, he became ecstatic and led Su Han up to a room on the fifth floor.

“Sir, every room in the Nine Heavens Tower is sealed with a special Secret Technique. Although this establishment is just a branch, I’m not exaggerating when I say that even a Dragon Emperor standing outside the door couldn’t hear what we’re discussing,” the young man said with a hint of confidence and pride.

“That would be best,” Su Han nodded slightly.

“What does sir wish to do here? Hire an assassin? Deal in trust trades, or perhaps transportation of goods?” the young man inquired again.

“I want to purchase some information,” Su Han’s eyes flickered.

He had originally planned to send the more than two billion Spirit Stones he had acquired in Wind Cold City back through Nine Heavens Tower, but upon reflection, even though Nine Heavens Tower was extensive, all transportations within it had to be reported up the chain. The first time might have been fine, but this time, it would certainly raise suspicions.

Because his shipments were both after the destruction of that stronghold, coupled with the current warrants issued by the Sect of the Battle God, Su Han felt it best to err on the side of caution.

At this point, he wasn’t afraid of the Super Sects besieging the Phoenix Sect because he had the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son. As long as he entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, Su Han believed that even the Dragon Venerates of the Dragon Martial Continent wouldn’t be able to find them.

But regardless, the Phoenix Sect still existed on the surface of the Dragon Martial Continent, and it was always better not to expose oneself if possible.

“What information does sir seek to purchase?”

The young man smiled as he began to speak, but before Su Han could utter a word, he continued, “You wouldn’t happen to be here to purchase information about that Battle Slave, would you? So many people have been coming to buy information about this person recently. However, this individual has hidden themselves quite well, not leaving the slightest trace. Even we at the Nine Heavens Tower haven’t managed to pinpoint their whereabouts.”

“Battle Slave?” Su Han was taken aback.

“You don’t know?”

The young man too paused in surprise, then incredulously said, “Are you even from the Dragon Martial Continent? You don’t know about that Battle Slave? Before, this person single-handedly destroyed three strongholds of the Sect of the Battle God. The whole Dragon Martial Continent was shaken by this, and the Sect of the Battle God is furious. They’ve issued a continent-wide warrant…”

Before the young man could finish, Su Han waved his hand and coughed lightly, “I’m aware of this matter. But why is this person now known as ‘Battle Slave’?”

“Well…”

The young man smacked his lips and said, “If you ask me, this person is courting death. Who would purposely offend a Super Sect? Are Super Sects that easy to provoke? There are only ten Super Sects in the entire Dragon Martial Continent. If it were so easy, everyone would damn well be a Super Sect.”

The young man seemed very talkative, yet Su Han’s frown deepened. He coughed again lightly, “Can you get to the point?”

At these words, the jovial young man stumbled in his speech, somewhat embarrassed as he replied, “Sorry, sorry. I got carried away. The Sect of the Battle God has spread the word that if someone captures this individual, they shall refine them into a Battle Slave. Their soul will be obliterated, forever turned into a puppet to be commanded by the Sect of the Battle God. I’m not sure what a Battle Slave is, but the term comes from there.”

“I see…”

Su Han nodded, a glint of cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

“By the way, what information do you need?” the young man asked again.

After a brief contemplation, Su Han answered, “To be frank, I am Yao Lin, a Registered Disciple of the Jade Void Palace. I am on my way to report to the Jade Void Palace, but the journey is extremely long. With my cultivation base, I cannot immediately get there, and I’m worried about potential dangers along the way. Hence, I came to buy some information about the experiences of Jade Void Palace disciples.”

As he spoke, Su Han released his aura at the Peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm.

Feeling Su Han’s aura, the young man immediately had a realization and bowed with his hands clasped, “It turns out you are a disciple of the Jade Void Palace. My apologies for the oversight. But to be honest, with your level of cultivation, traversing these hundreds of millions of miles to the Jade Void Palace is indeed an arduous task. Not to mention the safety of the road, just the duration of the journey alone is already significantly long.”

“With the cultivation base of the Dragon Spirit Realm, it will take at least a decade to reach the Jade Void Palace from here. I fear that by the time you arrive, the Jade Void Palace might have already forgotten about your status as a Registered Disciple.”

“Indeed…”

Su Han expressed a sense of shared understanding, “I was unknowingly taken in as a Registered Disciple by an Elder of the Jade Void Palace. I originally thought he would bring me with him, but instead, the Elder asked me to go by myself. He said that the journey itself is an experience. If I can arrive safely, I will be promoted directly to an Outer Sect Disciple.”

“But with my cultivation base in the Dragon Spirit Realm, how could I possibly cross such a vast distance? Between here and there lies the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, a River of Destiny, and almost an ocean-sized lake of crystal. Not to mention other places, just these four alone are filled with countless dangers.”

“That’s what it’s like in a Super Sect. Each disciple of a Super Sect is extraordinary,” the young man said with a sigh.

Su Han clasped his hands in a salute, “Therefore, I would ask you to bend the rules, and provide me with some intelligence on the training journeys of Jade Void Palace disciples. If I can join them, then I can safely arrive at the Jade Void Palace. I will remember this kindness from you, Yao owes you a favor.”

Having said this, Su Han rose to his feet, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply.
