Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss Chapter 118: An Important Message

In the pavilion outside the city lord’s residence.

Fu Ren looked far away into the distance.

Flying Snow City is the third largest city in Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

There were countless upper-level experts of Perfected Person in the city, and the city lord was a half-step Virtual Realm expert.

He thought about how he was held hostage by Qiu Baihui.

He never expected that Qiu Baihui would bring him to Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

It turned out that Qiu Baihui, the one who attacked Xia Mu, was from Qianyuan Sacred Ground. At that time, he was even worried that Qianyuan Sacred Ground was going to attack Xiamu Sacred Ground.

It was only later did Fu Ren find out Qiu Baihui’s identity, and he was relieved.

That was when he became a spy in Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

Within just a few decades, with the help of a large number of pills, Fu Ren became a half-step Perfected Person.

He was one of the most promising experts in the Sacred Ground to reach the Virtual Realm.

After years of leading an insidious life, Fu Ren discovered the unacceptable fact that he was the only one from Nanzhou in the entirety of Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

Even when there was the occasional traveler from Nanzhou, they were outsiders that couldn’t be trusted.

Those who weren’t trusted by the Sacred Ground were not trusted by him either.

As a result, many messages couldn’t reach Nanzhou.

Later, by accident, the disciples of the Sacred Ground captured a Perfected Person from Nanzhou.

Fu Ren was sent to the prison to interrogate and test the Perfected Person.

After making sure that he was loyal to Nanzhou, Fu Ren got him out of the prison.

“I am wondering whether Old Demon Han has delivered the message yet?”

The message this time was about the devil in Dongzhou.

By chance, he had learned that the devil in Dongzhou was arranged by the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

He had similar suspicions before, but this time, it was true.

Qianyuan Sacred Ground was plotting something big.

Although he didn’t know their specific plans, Fu Ren felt that it was better to warn the people in Nanzhou.

Far away in the skyline, a white figure appeared.

In the city below the mountain, the figure quickly approached the snowy mountain.

Then it stopped at the foot of the snowy mountain.

Fu Ren narrowed his eyes.

His planted agent, Old Demon Han, had returned.

Old Demon Han had passed his many tests to earn his trust, and had finally become his informant.

Many important secrets of Zhongzhou and Qianyuan Sacred Ground were brought to Nanzhou by Old Demon Han.

In an instant, Fu Ren’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Old Demon Han.

“Has the message been delivered?”

“Yes!”

“What took you so long?”

“I took a detour along the way. I can’t let people see that I’m a spy!”

Old Demon Han laughed.

“Here are the pills for your reward. Keep it carefully.”

Fu Ren threw over a bottle.

Old Demon Han carefully took the pills and said, “Do you have any more tasks for me? I kind of like these type of errands!”

He had delivered several useful and important messages to Nanzhou, although they didn’t help Nanzhou quite much.

But these secrets made him appear important in the eyes of the big clans in Nanzhou.

The people in Nanzhou also began to trust him and care for him.

“I’m still not sure at the moment, but there might be a huge change coming in Dongzhou. If it gets too chaotic in Dongzhou, I’m afraid things will be more difficult.”

“Is it the plan by Qianyuan Sacred Ground?”

“I’m afraid that it is totally beyond Qianyuan Sacred Ground’s expectation. That devil somehow improved his cultivation all of a sudden.”

“Also, a new devil has appeared in Dongzhou. The Demon Sect is too powerful. It is impossible for Dongzhou to defeat him Even if Qianyuan Sacred Ground offers some help, it will still be difficult. Dongzhou, Beizhou, and Zhongzhou won’t work with each other. Our world might be doomed,” Fu Ren said with anxiety.

“Is the problem that serious?”

“The Qianyuan Sacred Ground likes to play with fire, since they have many Virtual Realm experts. Now, everything is beyond the initial expectation.”

Shaking his head, Fu Ren felt that it was better to warn the people in Nanzhou.

Although there wasn’t much that they could do, at least the big clans could be prepared.

They could at least find a shelter to protect their clans for several generations.

“How did the problem turn out to be like this? Didn’t you say that everything is under the control of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground?”

“Remember the devil in Nanzhou? Every once in a while, the devil shows up,” said Fu Ren. “Then Zhongzhou Sacred Ground would come over to deal with the devil. The purpose was to use the devil to control and suppress Nanzhou. Only this time, the people in Dongzhou strongly rejected the help of Zhongzhou. To make matters worse, many experts from Dongzhou died in the war with Zhongzhou.”

His gaze was full of the flame of hatred.

Old Demon Han clenched his fists and teeth.

They were silent for a while.

It took some effort for Old Demon Han to calm down, but he then asked: “That’s the reason? If so, it shouldn’t be so out of control!”

“It’s all because of the other devil. Another Demon Sect has been operating secretly in Dongzhou for years. When the devil appeared this time, they didn’t even expose themselves. People didn’t notice them until they had accumulated enough strength.”

“Another demon sect? So powerful?”

“I don’t know where this demon sect came from or how long it has been there. They killed five Virtual Realm experts and destroyed one of the four biggest clans in Zhongzhou. That was the shift in power.”

Old Demon Han was silent again.

This demon sect had killed five Virtual Realm experts, but they might be hiding their true power.

As long as a devil was not killed immediately, he could suck the essence and blood of others to quickly heal himself.

“I’ll inform Nanzhou about this and let them dig an underground palace. If the demon sect spreads to Zhongzhou, it’ll be too late.”

“I wonder if that expert from Muguang Mountain can hold the devil off?”

Fu Ren was very interested in the Virtual Realm expert in Nanzhou.

Knowing that he easily killed two Virtual Realm experts from Qianyuan Sacred Ground, Fu Ren realized that he might be a supreme Virtual Realm expert.

In Qianyuan Sacred Ground, only the grand ancestor had such a high cultivation.

Old Demon Han bowed with his hands towards Fu Ren and said, “I’ll make my move first, take care of yourself!”

“You should be careful too!”

After their brief conversation, the two parted at once.

But just as they turned to leave.

There was a sudden tremor.

A human figure suddenly appeared next to them.

“Who are you?” Fu Ren was nervous.

This man could get close to them without even being noticed, which meant that he was extremely skilled.

He appeared at such a time and in the Flying Snow City.

Was he an expert of the sacred ground?

Wouldn’t that mean that their identities were exposed?

The two looked at each other and prepared their techniques, ready to fight.

“No need to be nervous. I came over just to ask Old Demon Han a question.”

Seeing that the two were nervous, Li Mu smiled lightly.

The two of them were pretty bold to meet in the Flying Snow City.

“Who are you?”

Li Mu took out the round plate and handed it to Old Demon Han. “Where did you get this round plate? Which Perfected Person’s tomb was it from?”

“You are… Senior!”

Old Demon Han was first stunned, and then he was delighted. He became relaxed and regarded Li Mu with respect.

“Who is he?” Fu Ren frowned.

Old Demon Han knew this person?

“He’s a senior, and is definitely from Nanzhou,” said Old Demon Han excitedly.

Back then, he was relying on this person for continuous breakthroughs.

Thanks to Li Mu, the opportunities kept coming and he finally achieved his cultivation.

Fu Ren also let out a sigh of relief.

“Senior, I can bring you there,” said Old Demon Han.

He had so much to say to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded. “As for the matter the two of you were talking about previously, regarding the devil in Dongzhou… I’ll check it out myself. Just protect yourselves,” he said to Fu Ren.

Then he left with Old Demon Han.

Inside a cave mansion.

Li Mu used his divine consciousness to carefully check the cave.

The cave had been heavily destroyed.

The platform for cultivation was damaged by swords.

At first glance, it seemed to be a deserted cave.

“You got the round plate in this cave?”

“Yes, senior. Many things in the cave have been plundered.”

“Then did this person leave any other message?”

Old Demon Han shook his head. “I don’t know.”
