In the past few days, Boy of Blessings had already figured out the identities of the members of the Blood Demon Church who had participated in the secret meeting. Among those people, except for one who was a famous pirate leader, nicknamed the Seven Seas Shark Monster, the others all had different identities in Shang Jing City.
However, he still did not know who the Altar Master was.
When he heard Xia Pingan mention that person's name and that person was actually in charge of the restriction of entering and exiting the imperial city, Lan Wuwei could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The Judgment Army's investigation was necessary, but since the "mysterious person" could name this person, there should be no mistake.
Fortunately, the Judgment Army and the Dark War God Church wanted to track down the traces of the members of the Blood Demon Church all day long. They did not expect that the members of the Blood Demon Church had already taken root in the imperial city and were even in charge of the security restriction of the imperial city. They could enter and leave the imperial city as if they were playing, right under the nose of the Judgment Army and the Shang Dynasty. This was simply a great irony.
Previously, Lan Wuwei felt that the price of the information that the mysterious person asked for was too high. After hearing the identity of Lieutenant Xu, Lan Wuwei felt that the previous transaction was too worth it.
What was 100,000 gold coins and the Holy Spring that could allow a summoner to break through to the Five Suns Realm?
If the member of the Blood Demon Church in the Judgment Army was not exposed, the people in the imperial city would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. It was unknown when an earth-shattering chaos would occur. At that time, the entire Judgment Army would be covered in dirt and might even be implicated.
Lan Wuwei suppressed the lingering fear in his heart and asked, "Other than that, what else did that person say?"
"That person said that he had more important information about the Judgment Army!"
"More important information? What is it?"
"That person said that the members of the Blood Demon Church hidden in Shang Jing City were not just these two people. Apart from these two people, there are more hidden members of the Blood Demon Church in Shang Jing City. Recently, these people of the Blood Demon Church are planning a major event, and they want to assassinate an important person in the imperial city!"
"Assassinate an important person in the imperial city?"
"Yes, an important person in the imperial city. That person said so. He said that there are at least five important people of the Blood Demon Church hidden in Shang Jing City, and there is another one in the sea!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lan Wuwei was still shocked by the news.
There were many important people in the imperial city. Someone who the Blood Demon Church wanted to assassinate was definitely someone of great importance. Once the Blood Demon Church succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xia Pingan did not reveal the identity of that person. If he revealed that the target of the Blood Demon Church was the Crown Prince, Beitang Wangchuan, it would not be easy for him to continue acting. If Beitang Wangchuan was prepared and changed his itinerary, how could he sell the information at a high price? Furthermore, that mysterious person would not be so "stupid" as to reveal the Blood Demon Church's goal before receiving any benefits. Therefore, this goal could not be made too clear.
However, Xia Pingan also believed that this news was enough for the Judgement Army and the higher-ups to deal with it with 200% of their attention.
Lan Wuwei stared at Xia Pingan with a solemn look. After taking a deep breath, he asked directly, "What does that person want in exchange this time?"
"500,000 gold coins, Six Sun Realm and Seven Sun Realm Holy Spring, and all the information about the Dark Tower that the Great Shang Kingdom has!"
This price tag was something that Xia Pingan had thought of for a long time.
If the Great Shang Kingdom had a Holy Spring above the Seven Sun Realm, Xia Pingan would not be polite. However, it was a pity that a Holy Spring above the Seven Sun Realm could only be found by chance. It was said that the Holy Spring was like a living thing that disappeared in the blink of an eye. It only existed in some Void Secret Realms and could not be brought out. Therefore, no matter how strong or rich the Great Shang Kingdom was, they could not take out a Holy Spring above the Seven Sun Realm.
It was a little risky to ask for information about the Dark Tower from the Great Shang Kingdom. It might expose some things. Xia Pingan was not sure if there was anyone else who was interested in the Dark Tower other than a "Spacewalker" like himself.
However, Xia Pingan had no other choice. These days, he had already gone to the Great Shang Dynasty's library in the capital. However, after arriving at the library, he looked up some information and consulted some professionals. It was only then that he found out that all information and books related to the Demonic Overlord and the Blood Demon Church were taboo items in the Great Shang Dynasty. They were kept in the royal library and the Dark Battle God Church's Scripture Hall. These things could not be found in the library that was open to ordinary people.
Destroying the Dark Tower and preventing the Earth from being invaded by space was the mission of Xia Pingan and the others in this world. At this time, Xia Pingan could only maximize the value of the information he had about the Blood Demon Church and take the opportunity to make this request.
Lan Wuwei left the room.
Xia Pingan waited in the room, feeling a little nervous.
This time, he waited for more than three hours before Lan Wuwei re-entered the room through the secret passage. Then, he placed two boxes, one big and one small, in front of Xia Pingan.
"The Divine Spring of the Seven Sun Realm is already extremely precious, and it is difficult to obtain even with money. Moreover, there are strict requirements for the storage location. Although the Great Shang Empire has some storage, the storage location for the Divine Spring of the Seven Sun Realm is not in the capital. It takes more than a month to transport the Divine Spring of the Seven Sun Realm from the storage location to the capital. Therefore, we can only provide the Divine Spring of the Six Sun Realm this time. Here are five hundred thousand gold notes, and the jade strip in this box contains all the information about the Dark Tower that the Great Shang Empire possesses …"
The copy of the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring in the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring is in the copy of the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring, "You can tell that person that as long as the information he provides this time is accurate, we promise him in the name of the Judgement Army that we will provide him with the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring on time in a month. He can come and collect it at any time!"
"Okay, I will pass on the message!"
Xia Pingan put away the items without a change in expression.
As expected, when it came to the safety of the important figures in the imperial city, the Judgment Army agreed to the price offered by the mysterious man without any bargaining. They didn't dare to delay at all.
As for the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring, Xia Pingan was not confident that he would be able to obtain it in a month. Perhaps this was the will of the heavens. Nothing could be perfect.
This was because this would be the last time Xia Pingan would come to the Fearless House. Once he obtained these items, Xia Pingan would be prepared to 'disappear'.
The last few visits to the Fearless House had been like walking on a tightrope on a ten-thousand-meter cliff for Xia Pingan.
As more and more members of the Blood Demon Church were exposed, his identity as a 'Spacewalker' could be exposed at any time. With each passing day, the chances of Xia Pingan's identity being exposed increased. This was especially so when he had taken the risk to ask for information on the Dark Tower. If the Judgement Army learned of his identity as a 'Spacewalker', he might be exposed.
Xia Pingan calmly walked out of the Fearless House, his little heart thumping non-stop.
As soon as he walked out of the Fearless House, he called out the Child of Fortune and had him sit on his shoulder so that he could keep an eye on the surrounding environment and situation.
Fortunately, this time was the same as the previous two times.
There was nothing abnormal in the surroundings.
Or perhaps the Judgement Army was more worried that the 'mysterious person' would drop the ball and leave at this crucial moment, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Xia Pingan left the Fearless House unscathed and disappeared into the sea of people in Shangjing.
…
Shopkeeper Lan of the Fearless House was waiting for news from Xia Pingan. The entire Judgement Army was also waiting for news from Xia Pingan.
…
The next night, an inconspicuous large black dog silently passed through Hundred Spirits Alley and arrived at the entrance of the Fearless House.
There were still two workers standing at the entrance. The large dog glanced at the signboard of the Fearless House and immediately rushed inside.
"Ah, why did this dog also rush into the Fearless House …" The two workers guarding the entrance hurriedly chased after the large black dog.
However, the big black dog was extremely fast. Before the two workers at the door could react, the big black dog had already rushed to the front hall of the Fearless House. It barked at Lan Wuwei, who was still behind the counter in the front hall, and successfully attracted Lan Wuwei's attention. Then, the big black dog ran directly to the back hall of the Fearless House and squatted down in front of the door of the Auspicious Room in the back hall.
"Manager, that big black dog ran in when we weren't paying attention …" The two workers from Fearless House ran in while panting.
"I'll take care of that dog. You don't have to worry about it. Go back!" Lan Wuwei was shocked when he sensed that the dog had actually run to the Auspicious room in the back hall and squatted down. He hurriedly told the two workers to go back. He quickly went to the Auspicious room in the back hall and took a closer look at the dog. Only then did Lan Wuwei realize that the large black dog wasn't a real dog but a summoner's summoned creature.
"Who told you to come?" Lan Wuwei asked.
The large black dog didn't bark. It only raised a front paw and pointed at the Auspicious room's door.
This dog was too clever!
Lan Wuwei's heart skipped a beat and he immediately opened the Auspicious room's door.
The big black dog walked into the room, and so did Lan Wuwei.
"Can you speak now?" Lan Wuwei asked.
The large black dog was lying on the coffee table in the room. It lowered its head and spat out a sealed white wax pill from its mouth.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the wax pill, Lan Wuwei picked it up and crushed it.
Inside the wax pill was a rolled up piece of paper. When the paper was unfolded, there was a letter written in small letters.
— — Shopkeeper Lan, the Blood Demon Church's target is the crown prince, Beitang Wang Chuan. They are preparing to assassinate his highness the crown prince on the 15th of May when his highness the crown prince goes to Bei Hai port to participate in the launching ceremony of the Shang Dynasty's new navy and the fleet review that will follow.
Other than the two exposed members of the Blood Demon Church, an altar master of the Blood Demon Church will personally participate in this operation.
Other than the Altar Master, the other main members of the Blood Demon Church who were hiding in Shangjing City and would participate in this assassination were: Hong Defa, the president of the Shangjing Trading Association; Zhou Dashan, the blacksmith of the Hundred Refinements Ironware Shop; Hu Mo, the leader of the Dragon Rider Sect; Old Lamp Luo, the night watchman of the Southern Street of Shangjing City; Di Jingjing, the shopkeeper of the Antu Inn outside the city; and Yu Xinglong, the demon shark of the seven seas …
That mysterious person said that if this cooperation goes well, he may provide us with information in the future.
…
The last signature on the paper was "unknown."
The Blood Demon Church's target was the crown prince. This made Lan Wuwei's heart tighten.
The news that Xia Pingan brought was extremely urgent. It was too shocking …
However, why didn't Xia Pingan come? Why did he send a dog to deliver the letter? What did this mean?
Lan Wuwei was full of doubts and couldn't understand. He looked at the large black dog that delivered the letter, but he found that the large black dog's figure gradually became blurry. It actually turned into light and disappeared in front of him, leaving no clues behind.
No matter why Xia Pingan didn't come, this news must be reported to His Excellency immediately …
…
