"I found out from many people that according to legend, there were three founders of the inner world. They were a Dragon Tribe, a nine-tailed fox demon, and a Buddhist Tribe monk. This was later confirmed through underground information channels. It's not just a legend.
"However, these three founders were only active for a while in the early days of the inner world's establishment. Soon after that, they went silent one after another.
"Not long after the three of them went silent, high-level Heavenly Gods rose to prominence in the inner world one after another. Most of them were short-lived. This situation only stabilized three thousand years ago. The six overlords each dominated a region and kept each other in check.
"Among these six, two of them rose to prominence the earliest, almost within a hundred years after the three founders went silent.
"One of them is a four-faced individual. He has four faces and four different personalities. Each personality has a different divine power and technique."
"The other person was a three-tailed snake lady. She was adept at illusory techniques and was born with a natural charm.
"If there's anyone who's most likely to know about the castellan's seal, based on the timeline, it's definitely these two. It's even possible that they have fragments of the castellan's seal with them … "
Lin Huang briefly described the results of his investigation. At the same time, he projected the information he had found using Divine Power.
Of course, only the three of them sitting around the table could see these projections. This was because Virtuoso had set up an illusion shield around the table.
Outsiders could only see the three of them drinking and chatting.
Saber9 only spoke after going through the information Lin Huang had gathered.
"What I found was similar to what Lin Xie found.
"After finding out about the three founders, I spent a lot of effort to find out what happened to them after they went silent, but I found almost nothing. What I found was unverifiable. There were dozens of different versions of where the three of them ended up.
"Later on, I shifted my investigation to the six overlords. However, I was afraid of alerting them, so I didn't find much useful information."
Lin Huang could not help nodding when he heard this.
"I had the same idea as you. Initially, I wanted to start with their subordinates. However, after careful consideration, I gave up on that idea. I didn't want to alert them.
"It's not a bad idea to start with their subordinates, but we need to make a plan first." Virtuoso nodded as well. "After all, those six are top-notch powerhouses among Heavenly Gods. It's too difficult to attack them directly."
"Moreover, Lin Xie narrowed the target to two people based on the timeline. This cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate. There was also the possibility that these two people did not know anything about the City Lord Seals, and the secret was with the other four people. We must obtain more and more accurate information before we can make a final judgment. "
"Try to lock onto the target in one shot and hit it in one shot!"
"If we don't get it the first time, the other five will definitely be on guard, which will greatly increase the difficulty of obtaining the City Lord Seal."
"In the past two days, I've also conducted some investigations. The information we got is basically the same as what you just said. "
"The castellan's seal is most likely split into three parts and is in the hands of the three founders of the Inner World. As for why the three of them had disappeared, it was possible that they had gone into hiding to prevent others from stealing their City Lord Seals. It's also possible that something happened to him and he was robbed. "
"If that's the case, one of the current six overlords should know something about the castellan's seal."
"The second possibility is that one of the current six overlords has a fragment of the castellan's seal in his possession."
"If this possibility is true, it's most advantageous for us. This is because as long as we lock onto the person who has the fragment, we can think of a way to get it. "
"The third possibility is the most troublesome — the castellan's seal may have fallen into the hands of an unknown person after the three founders went silent. The rise of the six overlords has nothing to do with the castellan's seal, and none of them have any clues about the castellan's seal. "
"If that's the case, it means that everything we've done so far has been a waste of time. We must look for other clues."
"If it's the third possibility, I don't think there's any need for us to continue wasting time in this phantom city. Let's go straight to the next phantom city. "The expression on Saber9's face did not look like he was joking; that was what he really planned to do.
Although what he said was said in a fit of anger, it was considered a rational decision.
This was because, judging by the current situation in this phantom city, searching for new clues might be even more difficult than searching for the castellan's seal in another phantom city.
"After all, we only have two days. The information the three of us have obtained is limited. Based on the limited information we currently have, all three possibilities are possible. Let's put together the detailed information we've gathered, then discuss the details of our next move. "
As Virtuoso spoke, they organized their information and transmitted it to Lin Huang and Saber9 through their consciousness.
Lin Huang and Saber9 shared the information they had obtained as well.
Very soon, the three of them finished digesting the information they had gathered.
Virtuoso glanced at the two of them. "I'll go first.
"Right now, we have no way of confirming which of the three possibilities the castellan's seal is in. However, the most suitable breakthrough point for now is still the six local overlords.
"According to Lin Xie's analysis, the four-faced individual and the three-tailed snake lady are undoubtedly the two most suspicious among the six. Apart from the timeline, we have no other clues to prove that the other four are more likely to have information about the castellan's seal.
"Therefore, I think it's appropriate to choose these two as our first breakthrough target."
Lin Huang nodded slightly when he heard this.
Saber9, who was next to him, also spoke up, "I have no objections."
"Then, in the next few days, we'll have to think of a way to obtain more information from these two's subordinates …" Virtuoso continued, "We'll confirm the list of their subordinates and some basic information first. Then, we'll attack when they're alone …"
"There's one more thing we need to take note of — don't kill them." Virtuoso suddenly reminded them, "Their subordinates might have set up warning devices like Soul Lamps. As soon as a member dies, the corresponding Soul Lamp will be extinguished. That'll alert the enemy. "
Lin Huang nodded slightly when he heard this, but Saber9, who was next to him, frowned slightly.
"If we act separately, even if Lin Xie and I force information out of them, we won't have a way to erase their memories …"
Lin Huang remained silent when he heard what Saber9 said. He did not explain that he had a similar method.
Virtuoso, on the other hand, glanced at Saber9. "Knock them out, then I'll deal with them.
"We'll contact as many of their subordinates as we can, regardless of their rank. We'll try our best to obtain as much information about the four-faced individual and the three-tailed snake lady as we can. It doesn't matter even if a lot of the information is repetitive or redundant …"
Virtuoso quickly summarized the plan, and the three of them quickly began discussing the specific implementation details.
