At this time, outside Kunyu City, a man in black robes briefly investigates the area where Huangpu Xin and they were fighting before leaving.
"Report, it has been confirmed that the target came from the west of the city, and there are signs of a fierce battle on the way. It is very likely the protected person of 1428." The man in black hurriedly contacts an unknown location.
"Keep watch, investigate thoroughly, seek local assistance once clear, and provide protection as requested by the client."
"Yes"
"if Master En wants information, The Secret Pavilion is the best choice," Cui Cui suggested.
Huangpu Xin turned around and said, "I didn't expect to find a place like this here."
"Does your hometown also have this?" Cui Cui asked in surprise.
Huangpu Xin shook his head: "It's not that, it's just that our neighboring country has this kind of intelligence organization."
Cui Cui stopped asking further and only said, "This The Secret Pavilion is an intelligence organization, but it's not an ordinary one."
Huangpu Xin thought to himself, "Could it be that they are still carrying out assassinations?"
Cui Cui replied, "Not exactly. What you mentioned is related to the affairs of the Stormy Tower. The Secret Pavilion not only has a network of intelligence across the five continents, but also provides protection and transportation services."
Chenhao frowned, "Why didn't the empress let The Secret Pavilion escort us?"
"The benefactor is from outside, unaware of The Secret Pavilion's history," Cui Cui whispered, "It is said that decades ago, the heir of the Golden Dragon Kingdom made a mistake under The Secret Pavilion's care, and overnight, the entire kingdom was uprooted. Some say there was a traitor during the escort by The Secret Pavilion, but the details remain unknown. Since then, the royal families of various countries have held a grudge against The Secret Pavilion."
Huangpu Xin nodded and said, "Then let's go to The Secret Pavilion."
"Now, what we know from Cui Cui and the books is just common knowledge, and the old man only gave us hints," Huangpu Xin concluded. "If we want to carry out our previous plan, we still need detailed information."
The crowd walked towards the south of the city, to the Secret Pavilion.
"Customer 1428, your target has been located. Do you need an immediate escort?" The stone on the table spoke.
Noble Consort Su frowned, "Could there be someone else around Lin'er?"
"Yes, one of them matches the description of your follower, the other five do not."
She began to pace. At this time, being entangled with Cui Cui, could it be that those people have made a comeback...? "Double the price. In addition to protecting the target, find out the origins of these people and Follow-up contact me."
"Thank you for your support"
The crowd arrived at the south of the city and easily spotted the tower of The Secret Pavilion, the tallest building in the south of the city, which was quite conspicuous.
"This The Secret Pavilion is even more ostentatious than the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the east of the city is just a two-story building," whispered Chenhao.
" Huangpu Xin took the lead and said, 'It takes some skill to be able to survive in such a chaotic place.'"
The tower had no door, only two curtains hanging at the entrance, and a signboard with a cat lady pattern standing next to it, indicating that it was open for business.
"..." Except for Cui Cui, several people stopped in their tracks.
Huangpu Xin and Chenhao started discussing in telepathy.
"What's this?"
"How would I know? Could it be that this organization is run by time travelers?"
Huangpu Xin Let's stay silent for a moment and transmit our thoughts to everyone. [Let's stay calm for now. We are here to gather information. We can discuss other matters later.]
Cui Cui Looked at everyone walking with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency, is there a problem with the orc slaves?"
"No, no," Chenhao quickly said with a smile.
The few people entered the tower, each with their own doubts.
"Excuse me, are you escorting or asking for directions?"
Huangpu Xin gestured to Cui Cui to answer, and Cui Cui stepped forward and said, "Asking for directions."
"Please follow me," the masked figure led the group to a separate room.
"This is our soundproof room. We have a strict confidentiality policy and will not disclose any customer information," the figure looked at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Huangpu Xin, assuming they were a foreigner and added an extra explanation.
Huangpu Xin nodded: "We want to know the latest news about the secret realm, as well as the shortest route to Junen City."
"Do you want the detailed or rough route?"
"More details are always better," said Huangpu Xin.
"Sincerely offering one hundred taels of gold."
"How much is it?" Zhuge Ning shouted, "You want ten spirit stones for such a small matter?"
Before leaving the teahouse, to prevent being cheated, the group specifically asked about the exchange rate between low-grade spirit stones and gold, which was 1 to 10.
Huangpu Xin also frowned: "The Great Emperor's Realm opens once every hundred years, and it has its own rules. Everyone enters and exits according to the process, and the entrance is two hundred miles north of the city. And Junen City is not a place where few people go. Although we are foreigners, how dare you deceive me?!"
Facing Huangpu Xin's deliberate intimidation, the man in black seemed to ignore it: "Guest, you have misunderstood. We at The Secret Pavilion uphold honesty and would not dare to deceive our customers. The route to Junen City is complimentary, but the latest information about The Great Emperor's Realm is worth one hundred taels of gold."
"What's so special?" Chenhao frowned and asked.
"This is the information our people brought back this morning. We need half the payment upfront before we can share it with you," the man in black demanded money first.
"…This is fifty taels," Huangpu Xin took out a stack of silver notes.
The man in black put it away, then knocked and tapped on the wall from the side, popped open a hidden compartment, and took out a scroll: "This is the information you requested."
Huangpu Xin took the scroll and everyone began to read it. It only had a few words written on it: "New entrance discovered, unexplored territory, suspected to contain the remains of a great emperor!"
This is indeed a major piece of news. It's important to note that there is a world of difference between an explored relic and an unexplored one, which has been explored for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Not only the precious spiritual fruit, but even the immortal's inheritance is also completely different. The former may just be a landscape, while the latter is like a treasure waiting for someone to dig it up.
"Here's another fifty taels," Huangpu Xin said without hesitation, and the man in black also readily handed over two scrolls. One was a map of the new entrance to the secret realm, and the other was a route map to Junen City.
"We also want to learn more about the southern part of the city." Huangpu Xin rolled up the three scrolls.
After a few people came out, they found a nondescript regular inn in the civilian area based on the situation of The Secret Pavilion and stayed there.
"Although there are many thieves and robbers in the southern part of the city, we shouldn't have a behemoth like the four major families. We just need to be careful ourselves," said Huangpu Xin.
"Isn't it said that the four major families are all over here?" Zhuge Ning asked in confusion.
"The four major families are indeed spread throughout the city, but they are not personally involved in everything. Places like the southern part of the city, which are full of chaos and not very profitable, are mostly managed by local bosses," Huangpu Xin explained.
"Oh, I see. So the four underworld bosses in the south of the city are supported by four major families?" Zhuge Ning suddenly realized.
"It's more or less the case. And since no one pays attention to the south of the city, if the pursuers come, we can also take advantage of the chaos and act after careful planning," Huangpu Xin continued with a frown. "We should have first understood the situation before deciding where to stay. We'll have to do the same in every city we go to in the future."
The crowd nodded.
"Alright, it's noon, the food should be coming up, let's all go back to our rooms to eat," Huangpu Xin dismissed the crowd, but found that Wang Na was still standing by the wall.
"This world may not have universal identification items. We could have thrown away things like a prince's long ago. In my opinion, you are not a person with overflowing sympathy," Wang Na stared at Huangpu Xin and said.
