Elder Gou was speechless for a long time. He looked at Nie Li. Although Nie Li didn't seem to have changed, he could sense that something in his body had started to change.
"I have completed my mission," Nie Li said coldly. He still hadn't gotten over what had just happened. He didn't blame Elder Gou because this was the path he had chosen. He wanted to become stronger.
Therefore, he had to give something in return.
"Good, good, very good." Elder Gou didn't say anything. Instead, it was Emperor Song who spoke. He looked at Nie Li. Although Nie Li's murderous aura didn't seem to be righteous, he didn't care so much as long as Nie Li could help him.
"Since you have broken through to the Xiantian Realm, I hope you can do something for me." Emperor Song looked at Nie Li. Although Nie Li's strength wasn't outstanding, it was enough.
"Yes, Sir." Nie Li looked at Emperor Song. Emperor Song's refined and handsome appearance gave off an easy-going feeling. However, the imposing aura between his brows made it hard for others to breathe. Even though Emperor Song wanted Nie Li to help him, his tone was unquestionable.
"Sneak into Prince Jingyang's Mansion and gather information." Emperor Song's words made Nie Li panic. Emperor Song wanted him to sneak into Prince Jingyang's Mansion. The meaning behind it was enough for him to think about.
"I'm sure you've already guessed it. My brother is good at everything, but he has a shortcoming. He is too ambitious. He thinks he has done it flawlessly, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. I hope you can sneak in and be a knife hidden by his side. "Emperor Song didn't hold back and said directly.
"Sir, you must know that I have a conflict with Zhao Chu 'an. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to sneak into Prince Jingyang's Mansion." Nie Li thought of Zhao Chu' an. As the son of Prince Jingyang, he definitely wouldn't let him have an easy time.
"It's okay. I think you still have the Earth Dragon Fruit. My niece also needs it to save her life. Prince Jingyang has been recruiting talents. If you go, he won't have a reason to refuse. Don't worry. If you succeed, I will reward you greatly, "Emperor Song said.
"Okay. I hope Your Majesty can give me a piece of Divine Spiritual Wood when I succeed." Nie Li stated his condition. His goal was a piece of Divine Spiritual Wood.
When Emperor Song heard Nie Li's conditions, he was stunned. But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous easy-going self. "It's just a piece of Divine Spiritual Wood. You can choose any of the divine weapons and martial arts manuals in the national treasury. This is what I promised you. "
"Alright, I promise you." Nie Li nodded. He had no reason to refuse Emperor Song's offer. Furthermore, his status didn't allow him to refuse.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, there will be people to meet you inside and outside." Emperor Song didn't say much, but Nie Li knew the deeper meaning. Emperor Song had planted someone around Prince Jingyang.
"Then I'll go down and prepare first." Nie Li cupped his hands in farewell, picked up the clothes and Qiu Yu from the table, put on the mask, and limped away.
"Your Majesty, there are so many people among the Patrol Envoys. Why pick Nie Li? He's still too young after all." Elder Gou knew how dangerous this mission was. The forces involved were probably something that Nie Li didn't even dare to think about.
"Because he's ruthless enough. Most importantly, he doesn't have any burdens." After Emperor Song finished speaking, Elder Gou fell silent. To put it bluntly, Nie Li's ruthlessness and his loneliness were the reasons why Emperor Song valued him. Such a person had no weaknesses.
"Don't worry. With Tan Lang around, this kid won't be in any danger."
"But Tan Lang is too young. In this battle, it's like walking on thin ice."
"Elder Gou, they all need to experience and grow. Living under your protection, do you want the next Seven Kills to be such a person? I believe in your foresight. Nie Li might really surpass you and become the strongest Black Envoy. "After Emperor Song finished speaking, he put on the mask and left.
Elder Gou's sigh came from the room. After returning to the inn, Nie Li called Little Head Mo.
"You broke through." Little Head Mo observed Nie Li and noticed the vigorous aura coming from him. This kid was too abnormal! When he first met Nie Li, he was only in the Qi Condensation Realm. In just a few months, he had reached the Xiantian Realm. If this spread out, even the geniuses of the aristocratic families would feel ashamed.
"I just broke through today. In a few days, I will join the Prince's Mansion. I came here today to ask you to help me gather some information. It's about Prince Jingyang. " Nie Li stated his request. Since Little Head Mo was from the Dawn Sky Pavilion, it was very easy for him to gather information.
"Okay." Little Head Mo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Also, Liu Zhong, Zheng Ming, and I will coordinate with you outside," Little Head Mo said. He knew why Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming had followed Nie Li back then. Therefore, he didn't let them follow him this time because he had his own plans.
"Okay." Nie Li nodded. Little Head Mo left immediately. He should be going to gather information. As for Nie Li, he was meditating. This breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm was really rushed. He needed to stabilize his realm.
While Nie Li was immersed in his cultivation, inside a towering building in the Song Capital, the lights were dim, making it impossible to see the building clearly. However, the building was completely empty, with only the sound of light footsteps echoing inside.
A man in a black robe stood in the middle. "Give me all the information about Prince Jingyang." He didn't know who he was talking to, but his voice echoed in the building. When the voice quieted down, a scroll fell from the top of his head. The man in black took it and turned around to leave.
"Old Mo will arrive in the capital of Song in a few days." A voice came from the top of his head. The man in black stopped for a while and continued to stride away.
The next day, Nie Li dressed up and took out the Earth Dragon Fruit from the wooden box. He picked up the Autumn Rain Saber and found a scroll on the table. Nie Li opened it and saw the information about Prince Jingyang.
Looking at it carefully, Nie Li frowned. According to the records, it seemed that this matter wasn't simple.
After reading the scroll, Nie Li lit it with a candle. He opened the door and walked out, calling Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming. The three of them went to the Prince's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion occupied a large area. At least, Nie Li saw that the whole street was the Prince's Mansion's territory from the beginning to the end. There was a vermilion gate and two stone lions at the gate, looking at each other.
Four guards stood at the gate. They were dressed in silk and had swords and sabers at their waists. They looked aggressive and were also in the Acquired Realm. Nie Li couldn't help but sigh at the background of the Prince's Mansion.
He stepped forward. "Stop." The guards at the gate crossed their swords and stopped Nie Li. They took a closer look at the man in front of them. His red robes and elegant face made him look a little demonic. Combined with his proud and aloof temperament, his disheveled hair made him look unruly. His cold eyes made people not dare to look at him directly, and his aura was not to be underestimated.
"Nie Li wants to see Prince Jingyang." As Nie Li spoke, he released his aura. The monstrous blood aura caused the four guards to break out in cold sweat and tremble.
"Young Hero Nie, you don't have to bully these small people. I'll take you to see Prince Jingyang." A low voice sounded. Nie Li immediately withdrew his momentum. The four guards sat on the ground and looked up. They quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Steward Zhao."
The man in front of them was about forty years old. His cheeks were chubby and his body was round. He looked very cute. But his narrow eyes revealed a trace of cold light, which made people not dare to underestimate him.
"Quickly thank Young Hero Nie for not killing you." Steward Zhao smiled and teased Nie Li. But it was obvious that he was mocking Nie Li.
The four guards kept saying all kinds of good things. Nie Li was annoyed and looked at Steward Zhao. "I think Prince Jingyang has been thinking about the Earth Dragon Fruit day and night." Nie Li didn't show any mercy and retorted.
The flesh on Steward Zhao's face trembled, but he immediately put on a smile and led Nie Li into the mansion. After seeing the Prince's Mansion, Nie Li felt that the previous mansions could not be compared with it. The difference was too big.
After half a cup of tea's time, Nie Li crossed the front yard. "Wait here, I'll go report." Steward Zhao passed through the arched door. Nie Li saw Prince Jingyang eating from afar. He didn't expect Prince Jingyang to be so simple. He was eating with his wife and several children in the hall, including Zhao Chuan.
Half a cup of tea's time, Nie Li stood outside and looked at Prince Jingyang. Steward Zhao walked in front of Nie Li and nodded, indicating that he could go in.
Entering the hall, Nie Li saw the so-called Prince of Jingyang. Zhao Qining looked to be in his thirties, with a short beard. He didn't look like Emperor Song at all, but the temperament he cultivated was exactly the same, except that Emperor Song's was more dignified and overbearing.
Zhao Qining and the others also looked at Nie Li. They had to admit that they were amazed that there was such a handsome youth in the world.
"What business do you have in my mansion?" Zhao Qining's tone was stiff and his attitude was unfriendly. Nie Li glanced at Zhao Chuan and found that the latter's eyes were burning with flames. That gaze was filled with killing intent.
"I have an Earth Dragon Fruit. I heard that the princess needs it, so I came to offer it." Nie Li took out the Earth Dragon Fruit. Zhao Chuan couldn't sit still! He slammed the table.
"Bastard, it was originally mine, but you took it away." Zhao Chuan finished speaking and was about to rush over.
"Chuan, sit down." Zhao Qining lightly shouted. Zhao Chuan glanced at his father and sat down unwillingly.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Say it! What do you want? "Zhao Qining stared at Nie Li.
"The Divine Spiritual Wood," Nie Li said.
"Are you crazy? You think you can exchange it for the Divine Spiritual Wood with an Earth Dragon Fruit? Not to mention one, even ten Earth Dragon Fruits are not enough. "Zhao Chuan was very surprised when he heard Nie Li's condition.
"That's what Chuan said. Even if you give me the Earth Dragon Fruit, I can't give you the Divine Spiritual Wood. Change your condition! "Zhao Qining didn't expect Nie Li to have such a big appetite.
"I can work for you as long as I can obtain the Divine Spiritual Wood," Nie Li said. He was betting that Zhao Qining wouldn't refuse.
"You're just a kid in the Houtian Realm. You want to work for my father? Any guest in the mansion can crush you to death." Zhao Chuan looked at Nie Li with resentment. However, Nie Li's gaze was fixed on Zhao Qining.
"Sure. I hope you can make more contributions. Only then can I help you." Zhao Qining agreed.
Zhao Chuan didn't expect his father to agree. Didn't his father know that he had a grudge with this kid? His martial arts were ruined because of this kid. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhao Chuan threw down his bowl and chopsticks, turned around, and left.
When the others saw the silent atmosphere, they also lost interest in eating.
"I'm Zhao Chujian, the elder brother of Zhao Chuan and Zhao Chutong. I'm still very grateful to you." Zhao Chujian stood up and cupped his fists to express his gratitude. Only then did the atmosphere ease a little.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Qining didn't say much and just watched.
