Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 746 - 740: The Secrets of All Heavens and Myriad Realms_1

「An hour later!」

Qin Wudao, Jia Xu, and Hei Jiu returned to the Imperial Study, intending to discuss certain matters.

"Sit!" Qin Wudao commanded. He was seated on the throne, and with a wave of his right hand, numerous rays of light from a Formation shot through the air, coalescing into a terrifying array that sealed the celestial mechanisms and isolated everything from the outside world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Xu said with a bow, taking a seat on a nearby chair.

"N-no... no need. I... I'm fine standing!" Hei Jiu stammered, not daring to take a seat.

After the Slave Mark had been integrated, Qin Wudao had bestowed upon him a medicinal pill. While it had almost healed his physical wounds, the trauma to his soul remained incurable. His fear of Jia Xu had seeped into his very bones and soul, a terror that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

And Qin Wudao, who could make even a great demon lord like Jia Xu pledge loyalty—wasn't he even more terrifying? Even more brutal?

Seeing Hei Jiu disobey the imperial command, Jia Xu's expression soured. "If I tell you to sit, then sit! Enough of this nonsense!" he rebuked coldly.

It's over! The demon lord is furious!

Hei Jiu's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground. Coming to his senses, he flapped his wings, landed precariously on the chair, and sat there trembling.

"Relax." Qin Wudao chuckled, amused by the scene. Shaking his head, he asked, "Hei Jiu, tell Us about the secrets of the All Clans and your role within them."

He was still quite curious about Hei Jiu, especially regarding his Divine Skill that allowed him to traverse the Void unimpeded—a skill that not even the Great Wall could obstruct.

"Your Majesty, there are many secrets within the All Clans, and I do not know many of them," Hei Jiu said, his body trembling and head lowered. He could almost picture the furious expressions of Qin Wudao and Jia Xu. "This is because my tribe serves as scouts for the All Clans, so many secrets are deliberately kept from us!"

However, Qin Wudao and Jia Xu did not show any anger upon hearing this. A Scout's duty is to gather intelligence. If they knew too many secrets and were captured by the enemy, they might reveal those secrets under interrogation, causing immense losses to their faction. It was similar to members of the Hidden Guard, who typically operated in isolation, knowing nothing beyond what their direct superior told them.

"Then, tell Us what you know," Qin Wudao said.

"As you wish!" Hei Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained, "The All Clans have a special internal intelligence transmission network. That network is my tribe, the Void Raven Tribe. We can traverse the nine heavens and are responsible for relaying information up and down the hierarchy..."

Qin Wudao and Jia Xu listened attentively, their minds racing as they analyzed the value of the intelligence Hei Jiu provided and extrapolated useful information.

Two hours later, Hei Jiu finally finished speaking.

Qin Wudao tapped his fingers on the armrest, recalling what Hei Jiu had shared. It mainly consisted of three points.

First, the Void Raven Tribe. With their unique Divine Skills, they had become the largest intelligence organization within the All Clans, wielding considerable power. However, Hei Jiu's own strength was relatively low, so he was only responsible for information transmission within the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Second, the All Clans' deployment in the Middle Thousand Worlds. Since the beginning of the 'Kindling Era,' they had dispatched numerous armies, concealing them in the shadows. Their ultimate purpose remained unknown.

Third, there was a list of names. It recorded those individuals who had betrayed the Human Race and defected to the All Clans.

"I never expected there to be so many traitors to the Human Race!" Jia Xu, sitting beside him, gazed at the long list. It contained tens of thousands of names, including many top experts of the Fifth Heavenly Layer. His expression turned exceptionally grim.

This is a fatal threat!

Just imagine: if the two sides went to war and the All Clans activated their hidden agents to defect mid-battle, it would undoubtedly inflict a devastating blow to the Human Race's forces.

Moreover, this list only included those known to Hei Jiu. In the Middle Thousand Worlds, there were tens of thousands, possibly even more, Void Ravens like Hei Jiu. If each of those Void Ravens held a list of over ten thousand Human Race traitors, then...

"Hei Jiu, We ask you, how can We obtain the lists held by your fellow tribesmen?" Qin Wudao asked solemnly, his gaze as sharp as a sword, staring directly at Hei Jiu and making the latter's heart pound.

Hei Jiu thought for a moment before replying, "Your Majesty, the Void Raven Tribe in the Middle Thousand Worlds is under the jurisdiction of the Crown Prince's Manor, the Third Prince's Manor, and the Eighth Prince's Manor. However, since the three Princes have long since ascended to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, day-to-day control is wielded by the director of each Prince's Manor in the Middle Thousand Worlds. Within each Prince's Manor, power is held by three factions: the Prince's trusted aides, the Golden Crow Guard, and experts from the Void Raven Tribe. Therefore, to obtain the lists from my fellow tribesmen, one must become the director of a Prince's Manor. Even then, one could only obtain the lists of traitors relevant to one-ninth of the Middle Thousand Worlds!"

Qin Wudao and Jia Xu exchanged surprised glances, gaining a deeper understanding of the All Clans' intelligence network in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Extremely difficult to handle! Immensely powerful! Obtaining the complete list of traitors is virtually impossible!

"What are the prerequisites to become a director of a Prince's Manor?" Jia Xu asked, his eyes glinting.

"The requirements are exceptionally stringent. Besides reaching the peak of the Luo Tianxian realm, one must also have accumulated substantial merit!" Hei Jiu clarified.

Jia Xu fell silent, pondering for a while before saying, "You may leave now."

Hei Jiu nodded and fled the Imperial Study as if escaping.

After Hei Jiu had left, Jia Xu stated formally, "Your Majesty, we must obtain the list of Human Race traitors. I intend to support Hei Jiu!"

Judging from the previous 'Genius War,' it was clear that the All Clans were determined to destroy the Qin Dynasty. Given the Qin Dynasty's current strength, they couldn't challenge the All Clans head-on for the time being. During this period, the Qin Dynasty must rely on the Human Race. Therefore, the Human Race must remain stable; no incidents could be afforded.

"Granted." Qin Wudao nodded. "From this day forward, your primary mission is to dismantle the All Clans' intelligence network and uncover the list of Human Race traitors," he commanded authoritatively.

"This servant obeys!" Jia Xu saluted respectfully and left the hall.

In the empty hall, Qin Wudao held the lengthy list. His expression was exceedingly complex, filled with killing intent towards the traitors and concern for the future of the Human Race.

Alas, the Human Race...

The Human Race... is a complicated race.

「The Southern Starfield!」

Song Jiang led the generals of Liang Mountain to the star where the Red Dragon Immortal Mansion had appeared. Gazing upon the Immortal Mansion – from which immortal qi billowed and the Power of Laws surged skyward – he immediately ordered the deployment of the Heavenly Stems and Earth Evil Formation to seal off the surrounding Starfield.

RUMBLE!

The Heavenly Stems Qi ascended!

The Power of Earth Evil descended!

The nearby starry sky ruptured, and brilliant starlight erupted, revealing one hundred and eight stars. Each star exuded a terrifying aura, overwhelming all in its presence. Within each star stood a general from Liang Mountain. Their faces were frigid, their eyes filled with a dreadful killing intent that threatened to annihilate the Starfield and shatter the cosmos.

Boundless starlight enveloped an area billions of miles wide. The Power of Stellar Laws manifested, laying out the grand Heavenly Stems and Earth Evil Formation, which suppressed the firmament and shook the endless void.

Meanwhile, countless experts activated their movement techniques. Riding beams of immortal light, they rapidly converged on the Red Dragon Starfield, leaving shimmering trails in their wake.

Only upon reaching the border of the Red Dragon Starfield did they pause, their eyes filled with apprehension. After a brief hesitation, they gritted their teeth and plunged into the Starfield.
