Upon receiving the reply from the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Bao Duoduo didn't waste any words.
He arranged for someone to collect the spirit stones, then sent over the information he had obtained.
“...This is absolutely firsthand information, seen by my cousin with his own eyes. You definitely won't lose out on this deal...”
“Lastly, as a bonus, the three major powers of our Northern Province have been looking for people from the Heavenly Demon Sect recently...”
Hearing Bao Duoduo's news, the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect fell into deep thought...
What did this mean?
Since when had his big client's sect become so popular?
Someone was looking for them? Someone was impersonating them?
A moment later.
The Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect gritted his teeth and decided not to care anymore...
For someone to impersonate his big client and commit evil deeds, they definitely wanted to make his big client the scapegoat...
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect decided to clarify things for his big client while making some money.
Then, the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect took out a sound transmission talisman and sent a message to the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect:
“Sect Master Nie... Do you want news regarding the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
“How much?”
Sect Master Nie hurriedly asked upon receiving the message.
This was because the Grand Elder of their Haoran Sect had recently made a trip to the demon race territory.
He was originally supposed to help Minister Fox of the demon race secure the position of Demon Emperor.
Then they would unite to launch an attack on the demonic cultivators of the Northern Province.
In the end, when the Grand Elder returned, not only had they failed to secure the position of Demon Emperor for the demon race, but the attack on the Northern Province was also called off!
Furthermore, he had returned in quite a pathetic state, clearly having suffered a setback outside!
Evidently, the plan had failed.
Following that, their Grand Elder issued an order.
He ordered him to arrange for people to investigate the news and whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
As it turned out, just as they began their investigation, they received news from Ye Fan of the Xinghe Dynasty.
Claiming that the Qingshan Sect was actually the Heavenly Demon Sect...
They had all been searching for the Qingshan Sect recently.
So, hearing that the Xiaoyao Sect had news about the Heavenly Demon Sect, he hurriedly asked.
“Five hundred thousand spirit stones!”
The Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect quoted the price directly through the sound transmission talisman.
Selling information bought for fifty thousand spirit stones to a fat cat for five hundred thousand wasn't too much, right?
If the other party wanted to bargain, as long as it wasn't too unreasonable, he could accept it.
“Deal. Just go to my Haoran Sect's merchant guild to collect the spirit stones...”
Hearing that the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect didn't even bargain, the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect was overjoyed.
He really was a fat cat, not even bargaining.
Immediately, he sent a copy of the information directly to the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect:
“Yes, yes... a Soul Transformation stage eunuch with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes. He's been pillaging, plundering, and committing all kinds of evil in the Northern Province...”
“Is the information accurate?...”
“Rest assured, it's absolutely firsthand information... Our scout's cousin had his sect wiped out by that person. His cousin saw it with his own eyes. May I be cursed if I'm lying...”
“That guy was struck by lightning because he did too many evil deeds, which was how the cousin found out. Otherwise, no one would have known he was a eunuch in disguise...”
The Sect Master of the Haoran Sect was curious: “How did he find out he was a eunuch?”
“By his voice! That unique, high-pitched voice—one listen and you'll know instantly...”
After the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect sold the news to the Haoran Sect, without another word, while the news was still hot, he quickly sold it again to the Dingyuan Sect and the Zixuan Sect.
...
After receiving the news, the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect did not dare to delay and quickly reported it to the Grand Elder of the sect.
“What? Someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared in the Northern Province? And he's a eunuch?”
“Yes... someone saw him with their own eyes,” the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect replied.
The Grand Elder of the Haoran Sect fell into deep thought. Who was this eunuch?
Could it really be someone from Wuhua Palace directing and acting out this play themselves?
Recalling the performance of Wuhua Old Monster in the secret realm, he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
He was beaten up just like everyone else. Or did he do it on purpose for effect?
But what would be his motive?
If the Heavenly Demon Sect belonged to him, he would already have the secret realm and the Break-Stage Grass. Why would he need to put on such a show?
Wouldn't it be better to just consume the Break-Stage Grass and break through to the Mahayana stage?
After all, absolute strength was the only thing that truly mattered.
Then, the Grand Elder of the Haoran Sect looked up at the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect:
“Ask around if the Heavenly Demon Sect has ever had any contact with Wuhua Palace.”
The Sect Master of the Haoran Sect nodded and immediately sent a sound transmission talisman to his intelligence department.
When that yielded nothing, he sent another sound transmission to the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect:
“Do you have any information regarding contact between Wuhua Palace and the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
“Wait a moment!”
Then, the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect began contacting his own intelligence department.
The result was also nothing.
Just as he was about to reply to the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, he suddenly thought of someone.
Immediately, he sent another sound transmission to Bao Duoduo.
“Ah... yes, I do...”
Hearing Bao Duoduo's reply, the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect lit up:
“Price is not an issue!...”
After agreeing on a price, Bao Duoduo transmitted back to the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect:
“This is an extremely secret piece of information. Almost everyone who knew about it died in the All Beings Equal secret realm...”
“Only someone with strong connections like me would know a thing or two... The Great Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect almost became Wuhua Palace's eldest brother-in-law back then...”
This piece of news was actually something Bao Duoduo had overheard from the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect after he was rescued by Lu Ming and the others.
He hadn't expected it to be worth so much money...
Upon hearing this news, both the Grand Elder and the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect fell silent!
Was there really such a dramatic entanglement of love and hate?
Could it be that they were in-law sects?
Just then, the Ancestor of the Dingyuan Sect sent him a sound transmission:
“A member of the Heavenly Demon Sect has appeared in the Northern Province... What do you think is going on?”
Following that, they also contacted the Ancestor of the Zixuan Sect.
The three of them exchanged information.
A dark glint flashed across the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Haoran Sect:
“Send people to capture him first. After all, they have no evidence to prove anything, and besides, that Eldest Senior Sister is already dead...”
Subsequently, the three sects each dispatched two Soul Transformation stage cultivators to form the Heavenly Demon Sect capture team.
They entered the Northern Province to capture this Soul Transformation stage cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
...
Meanwhile, after receiving the news, the Tower Lord of the Blood Fiend Tower also reported it to his Ancestor.
The Blood Fiend Tower Ancestor was also filled with suspicion upon hearing this.
Could those old schemers from Wuhua Palace really be the ones causing trouble?
Thinking of this, he immediately sent a sound transmission to the Ancestor of the Blood River Demon Sect.
They absolutely could not allow Wuhua Palace to quietly rise to power!
Upon hearing this news, Blood Refining Demon Lord immediately cursed:
“It's definitely those old schemers behind this...”
The Blood Fiend Tower Ancestor consoled him: “It might not necessarily be someone from Wuhua Palace. Let's capture the person first.”
“Lest it be a scheme cooked up by the righteous sects to disrupt the unity of our Northern Province. Don't forget, there are indeed eunuchs in the Eastern Province...”
Hearing the analysis of the Blood Fiend Tower, the Ancestor of the Blood River Demon Sect barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
Immediately, they continued to deploy more manpower to search for news of the Heavenly Demon Sect, while also dispatching multiple Soul Transformation stage cultivators.
They even issued an order to them: if they couldn't handle it, they could contact them, and they would take action personally.
In an instant, all three major forces of the Northern Province were frantically searching for traces of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
...
Tribulation Lightning returned to the Thunder Pool with a long face. Seeing his expression, Punishment Lightning was somewhat surprised.
Why did he look exactly like how he did when he struck the wrong person last time?
That shouldn't be the case. When striking someone undergoing a tribulation, he shouldn't have been able to make a mistake!
“Is your enemy a eunuch?”
Although Punishment Lightning didn't understand why Tribulation Lightning asked this, he still replied:
“No. When that fellow screamed, his voice was resonant. It was clear his Virgin Art was quite solid. He absolutely couldn't be a eunuch...”
“Then is your enemy a Soul Transformation stage cultivator?”
Punishment Lightning was somewhat speechless: “He hasn't even been whipped by you yet, so he's definitely not at the Soul Transformation stage!”
Hearing Punishment Lightning's words, Tribulation Lightning confirmed that he had indeed struck the wrong person.
“You struck the wrong person?” Punishment Lightning asked in confusion.
“It's all your fault!” Tribulation Lightning roared furiously upon seeing Punishment Lightning.
“Are you out of your mind? What do you mean by blaming me?” Punishment Lightning was completely bewildered.
Looking at Punishment Lightning's innocent expression, Tribulation Lightning got even angrier.
If it weren't for the sake of avenging this guy, he wouldn't have struck the wrong person in the first place!
“It's all your fault, all your fault! If it weren't for avenging you, I wouldn't have struck the wrong person...” Tribulation Lightning shouted angrily.
Hearing Tribulation Lightning's words, Punishment Lightning's eyes widened.
He had never expected that Tribulation Lightning would actually strike the wrong person.
“Did you strike him to death?”
“No!”
“If he's not dead, what the hell are you afraid of!”
Hearing this, Tribulation Lightning was also taken aback.
That's right, the guy didn't die, so what the hell was he afraid of!
He had intentionally struck the wrong person in the first place; he just hadn't struck the person he actually wanted to strike.
Besides, he had already prepared an excuse beforehand. Thinking of this, Tribulation Lightning immediately felt relieved.
“What happened? Tell me in detail...” Punishment Lightning asked curiously.
Following that, Tribulation Lightning recounted what had happened.
After listening, Punishment Lightning was also completely dumbfounded. Why would anyone in this world like to play that kind of person?
He must have some mental issues!
He deserved to be struck by lightning!
