Chapter 48: The First Step To Control The Black Moon Tower

The Black Moon Tower was famous for its efficiency, yet Hu Quan had waited for a few days without any results and therefore personally came to Chu County.

“Black Moon Tower has always been famous for its efficiency. Although the Chu family isn’t weak, it shouldn’t be difficult for the Black Moon Tower to investigate the layout of the family’s territory, right?”

“I hope Tower Lord Wan can complete the mission as soon as possible.”

“Three days. I’ll wait another three days. If there’s no result, I’ll cancel the mission!” Hu Quan said in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, Sect Leader Hu. Our Black Moon Tower is famous for its efficiency and reliability in handling matters. You can rest assured.”

Wan Chang patted his chest and promised.

Hu Quan left quietly. He did not dare to stay in the Black Moon Tower’s premises.

This group of black-hearted people might sell him out to the Chu family, or perhaps even the Purple Moon Kingdom.

He was still worth some money.

What if the Chu family, or the Purple Moon Kingdom, were willing to pay a high price to purchase information on his whereabouts?

Wan Chang’s expression did not look too good. He gave the order to the elite intelligence officer to immediately return and report on the situation.

If the client canceled the mission because of a problem with the efficiency of the mission, his own reputation would be affected to a certain extent.

It was about time for him to be promoted again. If he could not display his capabilities, he would miss out on this promotion opportunity.

Another day passed.

The elite intelligence officer did not come back.

Wan Chang frowned and sent another senior elite intelligence officer, who he ordered in no uncertain terms that, no matter the outcome, had to return as soon as possible to report.

In the end, this senior elite intelligence officer never came back either.

“I underestimated the Chu family!”

Wan Chang smiled, “The Chu family should be proud of themselves. They forced a bronze-level officer like me to personally take action.”

After putting on his equipment, he took advantage of the cover of night to head towards the Chu family’s territory.

No one could stop him from advancing to the elite Tower Lord position!

He had already been an ordinary Tower Lord for thirty years.

Only by becoming an elite Tower Lord would he be able to obtain more resources and raise his cultivation to the third level of the unity realm and beyond.

There were only two ways to be promoted to the elite Tower Lord position.

He either had to display sufficient capability, and his mission completion records had to be superior, or his cultivation had to surpass the third level of the unity realm.

In this world, strength was the most important.

Even if his capabilities were slightly inferior, as long as his cultivation was high enough, he would be able to advance.

Wan Chang was very confident. He was a bronze-level intelligence officer who had many missions under his belt. As a ninth-level spirit realm cultivator, he had once assassinated a first-level void realm cultivator.

He understood the strength of the Chu family, and no one there was capable of stopping him.

Even if the Chu family had a hidden unity realm cultivator, they would not be able to stop him.

The ability of a bronze-level intelligence officer to conceal themselves and escape far surpassed what an elite intelligence officer was capable of.

Back then, as a ninth-level spirit realm cultivator, he had escaped from the hands of three fifth-level void realm cultivators.

He currently possessed the strength of a peak stage void realm cultivator.

He was confident in his ability to escape even if his opponent was a cultivator at the first or second level of the unity realm.

Moreover, as the Tower Lord of Chu County’s Black Moon Tower, he possessed more treasures at his disposal than an ordinary bronze-level intelligence officer, which meant that he had numerous ways to flee and survive!

Wan Chang had been filled with confidence when he arrived at the Chu family’s territory but, at this very moment, his heart was on the verge of collapsing.

There was actually such a terrifying figure hiding in the Chu family.

If his information was correct, the other party was Chu Qiuluo’s son?

It definitely was not possible. How old was Chu Qiuluo’s son? How could he be so powerful?

Even if he started cultivating in his mother’s womb, it was impossible for him to have become so powerful.

Emperor realm!

The Southern Region had no emperor, so this person here was already the strongest person in the Southern Region.

Wan Chang was one of the many Tower Lords of the Black Moon Tower. He knew more secrets than most cultivators.

There was no Emperor in the Southern Region not only because the laws of Heaven and Earth were incomplete here, but also because there was no Emperor’s inheritance.

The Emperor realm experts from the other regions were naturally unwilling to come to the Southern Region. Naturally, there were also other reasons.

He was shocked. “How did he become an emperor? The appointed time had not elapsed yet. The Emperor realm experts from the outer regions would not come.”

“The Tower Lord of Chu County’s Black Moon Tower?”

Chu Xuan looked at Wan Chang who was kneeling on the ground, shivering, and asked with a smile on his face.

He had finally caught a decent fish.

“Yes, yes.”

Wan Chang did not dare to harbor any thoughts of putting up a resistance.

“Tell me. Why are you here?”

Chu Xuan had formulated a plan in his heart. For the time being, he would control Wan Chang as the Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower. This would alleviate his problems in terms of lacking intelligence and information.

He would then wait for an opportunity to take control of the person in charge of the Black Moon Tower in the Qin Kingdom.

When he was stronger, he would slowly lure even bigger fish over.

Wan Chang did not dare to hide the truth. The reputation of the Black Moon Tower was meaningless in front of an Emperor realm cultivator.

He was honest and explained everything that Hu Quan had entrusted him with.

Chu Xuan was speechless. Did the Chu family have any enmity with Hu Quan?

Chu Xuan naturally knew what the other party wanted to do.

“What’s the latest trend among heretic cultivators?”

Chu Xuan was very curious as to what kind of trend Kun Wu had stirred up among the heretic cultivators.

“Some lunatics among the heretic cultivators take great pride in charging into the Evil King’s palace…”

Wan Chang explained in detail the going-ons around the evil imperial court.

Chu Xuan instantly became speechless. ‘F*ck, were those evil cultivators nuts?’

They actually took pride in charging into the Evil King’s palace, to the point that it had even become a trend.

Without a friend who had barged into the Evil King’s palace, they were too embarrassed to come out and brag?

As expected, those who cultivated evil techniques could easily damage their brains.

Chu Xuan planted a soul seal on Wan Chang and also planted a soul seal on the other three people he controlled.

He allowed the other three leave, leaving Wan Chang behind to help him understand how the Black Moon Tower functioned and operated.

Although Wan Chang was only an ordinary Tower Lord, he had a good understanding of the system and operations of the Black Moon Tower.

Of course, there were some things that people of his level were unable to come into contact with.

The Tower Lords of the Black Moon Tower were divided into ordinary Tower Lords, elite Tower Lords, bronze, silver, gold, one-star to nine-star, and so on.

Wan Chang was only an ordinary Tower Lord who was striving to become an elite Tower Lord.

The Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower of the Qin Kingdom was an elite Tower Lord.

If Wan Chang was promoted, he would replace the elite Tower Lord and become the new person-in-charge of the Black Moon Tower of the Qin Kingdom.

“What are the requirements for one to become an elite Tower Lord?”

“Performance, capability, or strength,” Wan Chang replied respectfully.

“Who is the Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower of the Qin Kingdom?”

“I don’t know. The Black Moon Tower’s system is quite independent. Usually, one cannot get in touch with those of a higher level.”

Chu Xuan entered a state of deep thought. The system of the Black Moon Tower was very meticulous. It was divided into many departments, and each had different responsibilities.

Above those many departments, there was a coordinator.

Wan Chang was very confident in advancing to the position of elite Tower Lord as long as nothing unexpected happened in the near future.

Chu Xuan threw out a bottle of pills.

“These pills will be enough for you to break through to the third level of the unity realm in a short period of time.”

Wan Chang took it and said respectfully, “Thank you, my lord!”

“I’ll do my job well. I won’t let you down.”

Chu Xuan encouraged him and said, “You can go about your usual duties. Send someone to deliver information to me from time to time.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Wan Chang asked carefully, “How should we deal with Hu Quan’s request? Should we…”

He made a cutthroat gesture.
