As they walked deeper, Taishi Thunder King brought Wutian and Yun Yuting to a secret room.
The room was about three hundred feet wide. There was nothing in it except for a few chairs and a tea table.
"Please take a seat. Let's talk."
Taishi Thunder King looked at the two of them for a while and shook his head speechlessly. Then, he called out to the others and sat down on one of the chairs to make tea.
After ten minutes, Taishi Thunder King finally asked, "Did you find any information about the spy from the memories of the four city lords?"
Yun Yuting was about to speak when she felt a warm hand on her hand. She looked down and saw that the owner of the hand was Wutian.
She looked at him in confusion. Wutian laughed and teased, "Your skin is not bad. It's quite smooth."
"Shameless, rogue!"
Yun Yuting cried out and swung her palm with all her might. She slapped away Wutian's hand without holding back at all. She turned her head to the other side, and there was a hint of redness on her average-looking face. She did seem rather charming.
Of course, if she had her original appearance, she would be even more attractive.
Seeing Taishi Thunder King looking at him strangely, Wutian smiled and said vaguely, "I did find something, but not much. Tell me about Kongbi Ming King first."
"Little fox."
Taishi Thunder King cursed in his heart. He took a sip of tea and explained, "Kongbi Ming King is the Deputy City Lord of Samsara City. He is also one of the few Spiritual Bodies of Light in the entire Eastern Region."
When Wutian heard this, the emotions on his face quickly receded like the tide. What replaced it was coldness, a bone-piercing coldness!
If he remembered correctly, when he let Yu Xiaohao and the others go, he didn't get anything. Instead, he was wanted by the Eastern Region. The person who issued the arrest warrant seemed to be the Deputy City Lord of Samsara City.
"By the way, I don't know if you have heard. Half a year ago, Kongbi Ming King issued a new arrest warrant for the eight of you. The reward has increased by several times! It can be said that the eight of you are now in high demand in the Eastern Region. So, don't get hurt! Because many people are looking for you, taking advantage of your weakness to take your lives! "
The Taishi Thunder King said. He seemed to be concerned, but he was actually mocking them. He was hinting that they had better listen to him in the future, or else he would sell them out.
Wutian was slightly stunned. He was a smart man, so how could he not understand what Taishi Thunder King was hinting at?
However, he was surprisingly not angry. The coldness on his face quickly disappeared. He looked at the Taishi Thunder King with a faint smile and said, "Don't forget that you were the one who ordered us to kill the four city lords."
"Ugh!" Taishi Thunder King was startled and said, "Little brother, everything needs evidence. If there is no evidence, some words cannot be said carelessly."
"Evidence?"
Wutian shook his head. He took out the Wanxiang Token and waved it in front of Taishi Thunder King. He smiled and said, "I never do things that I'm not confident in. For example, when I killed the vice city lord."
What an ulterior motive!
The Taishi Thunder King finally realized that this little bastard had secretly set him up when they were discussing the cooperation.
"Not only a little fox, but he is even more difficult to deal with than an old fox." Taishi Thunder King felt bitter. The longer he interacted with this kid, the more difficult it was to deal with him.
Feeling helpless, Taishi Lei Wang said solemnly, "Wutian, this old man has to warn you seriously. Our cooperation cannot be exposed. Otherwise, you and this old man will be finished together. So, you better erase all the contents inside."
"Erase?"
Wutian smiled and shook his head, "It's impossible to erase it. Who knows if you will sell us out when the time comes? In other words, as long as you don't play any tricks, the contents of the Wanxiang Token will be our secret. "
"Tell me! What were you discussing with Kongbi Ming King? "Wutian kept the Wanxiang Token and looked at Taishi Thunder King with a smile.
In fact, when they were discussing the cooperation, he did not record the contents of their conversation. He was just bluffing Taishi Thunder King and taking the initiative. He did not expect Taishi Thunder King to be so foolish that he actually believed him.
Taishi Thunder King was furious when he heard that. He wanted to intimidate this arrogant little bastard, but he was the one being led by the nose.
"How difficult!"
He sighed again. If it were not for finding the spy, he would not want to deal with Wutian at all.
Back then, when he received Qiu Yu's message from the staff of the War Merit Holy Hall, he was still considering if he should take Wutian as his disciple. Now that he thought about it, he found it funny.
How could he teach such a scheming, shrewd, and extraordinary young man?
After pondering for a while, Taishi Thunder King sighed and said honestly, "To be honest, Kongbi Ming King is the wife of the Lower Profound Saint. She came to find me this time to rope me in."
"The wife of the Lower Profound Saint?" Wutian was surprised.
Taishi Thunder Lord nodded and said solemnly, "Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. In fact, in terms of scheming and strength, she's not inferior to the Lower Profound Saint. There are even rumors that Kongbi Ming King was the one who was truly qualified to become one of the four Great Saints. However, due to some unknown reasons, he gave the position to the Lower Profound Saint."
Wutian said in surprise, "Is there such a relationship?"
It was no wonder that he only sensed Taishi Thunder King's aura in the hall, but Kongbi Ming did not seem to exist. It turned out that he was an expert who was not inferior to the Lower Profound Saint.
Taishi Thunder King nodded, then shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, from our contact over the years, I can see that she is a very difficult woman to deal with. Moreover, the Lower Profound Saint has to ask for her opinion first. In other words, as long as you can obtain her trust, you can really get close to the Lower Profound Saint. Don't you think this is a big deal?"
Wutian nodded, but he did not feel apologetic at all.
Taishi Thunder King glanced at Wutian and added, "If you have found the spy, you have helped me. At least I don't have to waste my time dealing with that woman."
Wutian squinted his eyes. For Taishi Thunder King to have such a high evaluation of a woman, it was definitely not baseless. It seemed like he had to be more careful when facing Kongbi Wisdom King in the future.
Wutian smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I do have full confidence in finding the real spy, but I still need some time."
Taishi Thunder King was overjoyed and said anxiously, "So you already have an idea?"
Wutian only nodded and did not answer directly.
Taishi Thunder King was annoyed when he saw this. He said angrily, "In any case, I have paid you. What information do you have that I don't have the right to know?"
Wutian hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, of course you have the right to know. However, for safety's sake, I will tell you after I find the spy. Don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't trust you at all."
"Pfft!"
Yun Yuting was amused when she heard this. She looked at Wutian strangely. She did not expect this shameless guy to have such a humorous side.
On the other hand, Taishi Thunder King's face was dark. The beard on his chin was curling up and down. He seemed to be very angry.
"Alright, let's get back to business. I came to find you this time because I want you to give me a set of detailed information on all the upper echelons of the Eastern Region." Wutian shook his head and smiled, revealing the real purpose of his visit.
That was because he knew his limits. He should stop when it was time to do so. Otherwise, Taishi Thunder King would definitely fly into a rage. Moreover, after this round of teasing, the accumulated resentment in his heart had dissipated quite a bit. There was no need to continue pestering endlessly.
"All of them?" Taishi Thunder King raised his eyebrows.
Wutian nodded.
"Why do you want their information? Is it very important? "Taishi Thunder King was confused. His old eyes shone brightly, as if he wanted to see through Wutian.
"It concerns whether we can find the spy or not. Do you think it's important?"
Taishi Thunder King's expression changed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "In order to find the spy, this old man will give it his all. However, this old man has to give you a piece of advice. I have the information, but you can't leak it out."
Wutian frowned. He did not understand, but he nodded in agreement.
After getting Wutian's promise, Taishi Thunder King did not do anything. A rectangular stone box shot out from his body and was placed on the tea table.
This item was one foot long and half a foot wide. Even with Wutian and Yun Yuting's sharp eyes, they could not see a single gap. It was perfectly integrated.
Raising his head to look at the two of them, Taishi Thunder King actually cut his finger. A drop of dark red blood quickly flowed out and dripped onto the stone box with a drip sound.
Suddenly, under Wutian and Wushuang's astonished gazes, the stone box overflowed with a hazy blood-red light. Suddenly, there was a clanging sound, and the originally intact stone box actually split into two, revealing a manual made of animal skin.
Taking out the manual from the stone box, Taishi Thunder King's eyes shone brightly. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be explaining to Wutian and Yun Yuting, "This manual was made by my master after he opened up the Eastern Region. The content inside was also written by him for hundreds of thousands of years. It recorded the information of all the higher-ups in the Eastern Region."
Wutian heard this and was immediately filled with respect.
Wutian was not only indebted to the Flood Dragon Emperor, but he had also put in all his effort for the Eastern Region. Such a formidable person was worthy of Wutian's respect.
"Originally, this manual had always been kept by my master. However, a few years ago, on the first night he went to the Xuanhuang Battlefield, he suddenly appeared in front of me and handed this manual to me. He repeatedly warned me not to peek at the information inside unless it was a critical moment, and not to let the manual fall into the hands of others, especially the intelligent creatures in the Western Region. Therefore, I have always kept it in my Sea of Qi and protected it like my life."
"Why would the Flood Dragon Emperor give you the manual?"
Wutian was puzzled. Taishi Thunder King's words and actions were enough to prove that the manual was definitely a treasure that concerned the survival of the Eastern Region.
Moreover, Taishi Thunder King also said that the manual had always been kept by the Demon Emperor. Why would he suddenly give it to his disciple?
