Chapter 384: Chapter 382: Silence? Fear? (11 more updates!)

“Dongling Kingdom, Yuanshan County, the Ninth-Rate Sect—the Phoenix Sect—isn’t that right here?”

Liu Wu smiled at Shen Li, clearly brimming with confidence.

Ever since he had become a secret envoy for Nine Heavens Tower, up to now, not to mention the success rate of missions, he had never once gotten a location wrong.

“The owner said that everything inside this space ring will definitely be seen by Shen Li of the Phoenix Sect,” Liu Wu added.

“I am Shen Li,” Shen Li nodded in acknowledgment.

“Then, take a look,” Liu Wu suggested.

With a wave of his hand, those space rings immediately floated up into the void.

As Shen Li pondered, he swept over them with his divine sense, and instantly his eyes burst with astonishing light, his body shivered violently, and he couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

“So many spirit stones…”

Shen Li thought to himself, “Looking at the quantity, it’s practically a mountain. And one space ring simply can’t hold them all, not to mention the numerous Gold Cards, pills, and spiritual medicines…”

“Who sent these things? Could it be the Sect Master? But how could the Sect Master have so many spirit stones?”

“Could it be…”

Shen Li’s body shook again as he suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating lately about the Sect of the Battle God being robbed.

The identity of the thief remained unknown, with claims that they had destroyed two third-grade strongholds of the Sect of the Battle God and killed many people. Yet to this day, the Sect of the Battle God had revealed nothing about their findings.

If they had discovered anything, by now, the Sect of the Battle God would have already announced it to the world, proclaiming their power far and wide.

Only Shen Li within the entire Phoenix Sect knew that Su Han had gone out to take revenge for the ‘God-Slaying Pavilion’; no one else knew exactly what Su Han was out to do.

“It must be the Sect Master!”

Shen Li summoned a crystal stone into his hand, his fingers deftly tapping it several times, the tapping technique extremely intricate, so much so that even Liu Wu, who had been watching closely, had some difficulty seeing it clearly.

“Boom!”

As his fingers danced, the crystal stone erupted with a burst of light. The light merged into the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation, and the nearest gate of the sect slowly opened amid a resounding noise.

“The Phoenix Sect is no ordinary Ninth-Rate Sect…”

Liu Wu took a deep look at the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation, then stepped inside.

“Please, take a seat inside the hall,” Shen Li said.

“There’s no need.”

Liu Wu bowed with clasped hands, waved again, and the space rings immediately floated before Shen Li, accompanied by a piece of paper.

“This is the Contract Token from Dragon Martial Continent. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, sign your name on it, then my mission will be deemed complete,” Liu Wu said with a smile.

Shen Li nodded, took the Contract Token to inspect it—just some standard agreements about the delivery of mission items and the Phoenix Sect’s acknowledgment. Finding no issues, Shen Li signed his name on it.

“Thank you,” Shen Li spoke and handed the Contract Token back to Liu Wu.

“Now that the delivery is complete, I shall take my leave,” Liu Wu said.

After finishing his words, Liu Wu’s figure flashed, and he left the Phoenix Sect.

Once he had departed, Shen Li tapped the crystal stone again, and the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation promptly sealed off the Phoenix Sect.

Secret envoys like Liu Wu weren’t privy to the actual contents of their deliveries, and it didn’t concern them. Even if they could check, they wouldn’t bother.

This is the quality that the Nine Heavens Tower has managed to achieve nowadays.

Of course, some might inspect the goods, and there have been those who tucked the tasked items into their own pockets, but these people invariably found themselves the targets of the Nine Heavens Tower’s relentless hunt.

After Liu Wu had left, Shen Li took a deep breath and opened one of the space rings.

Inside the other space rings were either spirit stones, pills, gold cards, spiritual medicines, or similar items, but within this space ring, there was also a crystal stone.

This was a Sound Transmission Crystal.

He took out the crystal stone, his divine sense sweeping over it, and Su Han’s voice immediately transmitted from within.

“This time, I entrust you with two matters.”

“The first matter: among the space rings I’ve given you, there are one hundred and fifty million low-grade spirit stones, two hundred billion gold coins, forty thousand pills, and countless spiritual medicines of various grades.”

“By now, having seen these items, you must have guessed that the whole Dragon Martial Continent knows that someone has robbed the Sect of the Battle God, and that someone is me.”

“The second matter: within this approaching year, as the heavy snow continues to fall, dispatch your sect’s people to clear all the snow within a thousand miles of the Phoenix Sect, and allow not even the slightest trace to remain.”

“Heed my words well, do not delay in the slightest, for this heavy snow will be a great calamity!”

The last sentence was said with extreme solemnity by Su Han. When Shen Li heard it, he involuntarily cast his gaze upon the thick white snow in the distance.

“A great calamity?”

Shen Li watched for a long time, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

“If the Sect Master says so, there must be a reason. All I need to do is to follow the Sect Master’s instructions.”

Shen Li murmured, “It’s just that I don’t know how the Sect Master is faring now… Indeed, the whole Dragon Martial Continent is abuzz that the Sect of the Battle God is enraged over this affair. After all, it is a super sect, containing Dragon Emperor Realm experts, and even old monsters from the Dragon Venerate Realm.”

“However, the Sect Master managed to transport these items back, so he should still be safe for the time being.”

“With so many spirit stones, the strength of our Phoenix Sect should also undergo a substantial leap.”

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Li’s figure flashed and disappeared directly into the void.

In reality, he had entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, but if there were bystanders, they would not be able to see the presence of the Xumi Ring at all.

The Xumi Ring of the Holy Son could only be opened three times by Shen Li, but those were three times for all the members of the Phoenix Sect. As for Shen Li alone, he could enter and exit an infinite number of times.

…

Time moved on, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Shen Li received the space rings.

And at this moment, three months had also passed since Su Han had destroyed Jinye City.

During these three months, the Dragon Martial Continent had been calm, or rather, the transport routes of the Sect of the Battle God had been quiet.

The Sect of the Battle God had already prepared its defenses, setting up ambushes at all third-grade strongholds along the main route, waiting for the robber to appear.

But the robber, as if aware of these developments, had not made another move in three months, as though they had given up entirely.

Some speculated whether it was because the robber had enough loot, or, knowing that the Sect of the Battle God was in fury, had they out of fear already gone into hiding, changing their identity?

If that were indeed the case, then the Sect of the Battle God would have a hard time finding them.

The Dragon Martial Continent was so vast that even the mighty Sect of the Battle God couldn’t possibly search every single person.

Just when everyone thought that the person had gone into hiding, a fierce wind suddenly gusted through Wind Cold City.
