They successfully sneaked into this small city called Yellow Sand City. This place was still at the border of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, so Yellow Sand City was not very prosperous. It could not even compare to Moon Trace City.
They went directly to a restaurant in the city. Before leaving, Xiao Chen had already asked Zhao Feng for a list of the Moonless Empire's spies in the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Yellow Sand City was at the border, so there was naturally an intelligence station of the Moonless Empire.
Striding into the restaurant, Xiao Chen silently showed a token to the waiter. This token was given to him by Zhao Feng. With this token, the Moonless Empire's spies would be able to confirm Xiao Chen's identity.
His actions were very secretive. Sure enough, after seeing the token, the waiter said without batting an eyelid, "Dear guests, please come in."
He led Xiao Chen and the others into the restaurant as if they were ordinary guests. They followed the waiter all the way to the backyard. Xiao Chen and the others were then led into a secret room. From the outside, it was impossible to notice that there was a secret room here.
There were no windows in the secret room, only faint candlelight illuminating the surroundings. After arriving here, the waiter bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, my lords."
"Call the person in charge here to see me," Xiao Chen did not waste any words in the face of the waiter's bow.
Hearing this, the waiter respectfully left the secret room. Clearly, he was going to inform the person in charge here to see Xiao Chen.
After the waiter left, Zhang Qi came to Xiao Chen's side and whispered to Xiao Chen, "Young master, the Burning Sky Ruler has already replied. He will secretly go to Hulao Pass to receive us in a month."
Xiao Chen had naturally informed the Burning Sky Ruler about the rescue of his mother, Bai Ruyue. However, he did not ask the Burning Sky Ruler to enter the Heavenly Wolf Empire with him.
There were two main reasons why he didn't allow the Heaven Scorching Ruler to travel with them. Firstly, if the Heaven Scorching Ruler were to travel with them, then the target would be too great. After all, the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar Dao Emperor Realm expert would probably cause anyone to investigate thoroughly. Presently, the Heaven Scorching Ruler was the Retired Emperor of the Moonless Empire, so the Heavenly Wolf Empire only had to investigate slightly before finding out. So, it wasn't suitable for the Heaven Scorching Ruler to sneak into the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Secondly, after Xiao Chen's group rescued Bai Ruyue's group, it was naturally impossible for them to return through the mountain range on both sides of Hulao Pass. This was because there were too many people. Zhao Feng had clearly stated that it was impossible for more than twenty people to return to the Moonless Empire through the mountain range. During this period of time, they would definitely alarm Yao Beasts. Furthermore, Xiao Chen's group was not familiar with the situation in the mountain range, so it would only be more dangerous.
Since they couldn't return in secret, there was only one path left, and that was to break through the encirclement from the front. In this way, they would naturally need the support of the Heaven Scorching Ruler.
According to Xiao Chen's plan, after rescuing Bai Ruyue, Xiao Chen's group would head straight for Hulao Pass. Afterwards, the Heaven Scorching Ruler would lead them and cooperate with the Mountain Suppression Army to launch a sudden attack on the army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. In this way, Xiao Chen's group would take advantage of the chaos to break through the defensive line at Hulao Pass and return to the Moonless Empire.
The plan to retreat had already been arranged, and the Heaven Scorching Ruler was naturally impossible to accomplish this. Just the Mountain Suppression Army alone was unable to throw the army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire into complete chaos.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly when he heard what Zhang Qi said. Now, the only thing left was how to rescue them, and this was also the most difficult part.
They didn't have to wait long in the secret chamber. Soon, a fat middle-aged man walked in. This person's cultivation was only at the Heaven Realm. At a glance, one could tell that he was a profiteer through and through. No one would associate him with a spy. It was precisely because of this that this person was able to become the manager of this station. This kind of person was the least likely to be discovered and suspected by others.
The fat man bowed to Xiao Chen's group. Seeing this, Xiao Chen said, "Now, tell us the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire in detail. Remember, it must be detailed, especially regarding the Bloodwolf King."
Xiao Chen's group had come here to inquire about the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Although the fat man was puzzled by Xiao Chen's words, he didn't refuse. After all, Xiao Chen had come here with Zhao Feng's token, so there was no need to doubt his identity.
Sitting in a circle in the secret chamber, the fat man explained the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire to Xiao Chen and the others in detail. According to the fat man, the situation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire wasn't very different from the Moonless Empire.
The imperial family was the actual ruler of the entire empire, and there were also four Princes under the imperial family. However, the only difference between the Moonless Empire and the Moonless Empire was that the four Princes of the Moonless Empire didn't have military power, while the four Princes of the Heavenly Wolf Empire controlled a large number of troops.
The entire army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire was divided into five groups: the imperial family's personal army and the four Princes' personal army.
As the name implied, the imperial family's personal army was controlled by the imperial family, while the four Princes' personal army was controlled by the four Princes.
This was the biggest difference between the Heavenly Wolf Empire and the Moonless Empire. All the troops of the Moonless Empire were controlled by the imperial family, the Chu family, but not the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Due to the large number of soldiers in their hands, the Four Princes of the Heavenly Wolf Empire possessed great authority. They were existences that ruled over a region. As one of the Four Princes, the Blood Wolf King controlled the one million soldiers stationed at Hulao Pass.
It could be said that the Bloodwolf King was in charge of the entire war in Hulao Pass. The imperial family of the Heavenly Wolf Empire almost never paid any attention to it. Only when a great war broke out would the other three Princes and the imperial family mobilize their troops.
After the fat man told Xiao Chen everything he knew in detail, Xiao Chen frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing the fat man's words.
He had never imagined that the four Princes of the Heavenly Wolf Empire would have such great authority. Compared to them, the four Princes of the Moonless Empire were like mere figureheads with no real power.
However, this was not good news for Xiao Chen. The greater the influence of the Bloodwolf King, the more difficult it would be for Xiao Chen to rescue them.
After all, the Bloodwolf King controlled a large number of troops. If anything happened, he did not need to report to the imperial family of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. He could make his own decisions, unlike the four Princes of the Moonless Empire, who needed to report to the imperial family before they could take action.
The difficulty of the rescue had undoubtedly increased by a lot. After being silent for a while, Xiao Chen did not have any good ideas. He looked at the fat man beside him. This person had lived in the Heavenly Wolf Empire for a long time. Xiao Chen thought that this person might have some ideas, so he immediately opened his mouth and said.
"This time, we were ordered to go to the imperial capital to rescue some people. These people are very important to the Moonless Empire. We cannot fail. Currently, we only know that this person is imprisoned in the imperial capital by the Bloodwolf King. So, do you have any good ideas to rescue this person?"
