Chapter 886: Chapter 710: Infiltrating the Inner Circle (2)

Moreover, in this house, except for the shopkeeper who is lying on the counter sleeping, no Pseudo-God can be found.

Wu Changming walked to the counter and gently tapped his fingers on the table.

With the tapping sounds, the shopkeeper awoke from his slumber, a hint of confusion on his face.

When he saw Qin An and Wu Changming, the confusion disappeared completely, replaced instantly by a flattering expression.

"I wonder what important business Lord Wu brings this gentleman here for?"

Wu Changming did not waste time and spoke directly: "You are acting as the agent for register documentation, so I brought a newcomer for you to register first — then I will know if it is safe."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly agreed and immediately grabbed a ledger and a pen from the side, directing his gaze at Qin An and asking, "May I ask your name and how you came here? Also, what is your strength level?"

He is responsible for tasking and recording people’s information, specializing in registration, so he is very familiar with these processes.

He knows very well that everyone, no matter who they are, must be registered strictly.

Otherwise, if those above find out, he would be dead.

Qin An definitely does not want any problems at this time, so he reported a false name: "My name is Lin An, my strength is not great, only at the Illusory Realm, and the reason I came is that I did not want to continue waiting over there."

"As for how I came, they did not seem to block me and allowed me to come here."

As Qin An explained, the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, continuously recording Qin An’s information.

Until the last word was written, the shopkeeper looked at Wu Changming and handed over the booklet.

"Lord Wu, all information has been registered, do you want to review it?"

Wu Changming shook his head calmly: "No need, I trust your work."

Then, he turned his eyes to Qin An.

"There are many empty rooms here, just find one and settle down, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changming vanished from the spot.

Qin An watched Wu Changming’s departure and suddenly called out: "Lord Wu, wait."

At the moment, Wu Changming had already walked out of the house, apparently with urgent matters to handle.

Upon hearing Qin An speak, he immediately turned around, slightly furrowing his brow.

"Is there anything else?"

To settle in this Chaotic Street, necessary social interactions are naturally indispensable.

Although Qin An is insignificant in his presence, he needs to understand why Qin An suddenly stopped him.

Qin An smiled slightly, continuing to act normal.

After all, this place is filled with entities of overwhelming resentment, and a slight misstep could turn these Pseudo-Gods into savage killing machines.

Moreover, if the manager here, that Pseudo-God half-stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm was alerted, Qin An would have no choice but to fight desperately.

"Lord Wu, I came here because I heard a crucial piece of information from over there, which is quite significant and valuable."

"I am just an inexperienced person, unable to guard secrets alone; let’s find a remote place so I can disclose this information to Lord Wu, allowing you to use it for greater benefits."

Qin An slowly explained.

After hearing this, Wu Changming immediately halted his steps, fiercely turned back, looking at Qin An with a serious expression.

"Are you sure it’s very important and there’s a lot of merit involved?"

Upon hearing Qin An speak, his heart began to stir.

After all, they are entirely different from the Pseudo-Gods outside.

Those Pseudo-Gods are desireless, without resentment, essentially like wood except that they want to get out.

They are different, possessing astonishing resentment and strong desires.

For Wu Changming, his greatest wish now is to continuously climb higher, to receive more recognition from the leader.

Someday, if collective effort breaks through here to find a way out, he can leverage a higher status to gain more benefits.

Of course, Qin An’s suggestion of finding a secluded spot is quite normal for Wu Changming.

After all, when disclosing critical information, if it’s said directly in front of many Pseudo-Gods, others might share in the benefits.

His benefits might even be snatched away.

Having thought of this, Wu Changming didn’t say more, pointed in one direction, and led Qin An that way.

The two of them crossed several alleys and finally arrived at a secluded street.

This street was void of people, apart from the two of them, it was completely deserted and seemingly quiet.

At the end of the alley, Wu Changming turned to Qin An and said blandly: "Brother Lin An, this place is secluded enough. Please tell me, what exactly is the news?"

Qin An looked around but didn’t speak immediately, instead whispered, "Walls have ears."

His expression matched perfectly with the role he was playing.

Upon hearing this, Wu Changming didn’t even suspect, explaining: "The resentment is weakest in such places, and our strength is linked with resentment, so even our leader doesn’t know what the news is, he couldn’t hear it."

Hearing this, Qin An’s eyes slightly brightened but he subtly diverted his gaze.

After thinking for some time, he organized his words and started to speak.

"Lord Wu, I heard the Pseudo-Gods outside seem intent on seizing the supreme essence of our Chaotic Street."

When the words fell, Wu Changming’s face suddenly changed, full of disbelief.

Immediately, he stood up abruptly, with a growing solemnity in his eyes.

"Indeed, this is extremely important news, I need to return promptly and report to our leader!"

Qin An quickly stopped him.

He knew Wu Changming’s intention was to promptly inform the leader here to resolve the problem.

But since Qin An had brought him here, naturally he wouldn’t let him go.

Or else, the decision he earlier made would be completely ruined at this moment.

Considering this, Qin An slowly spoke.

"Lord Wu, this matter must not be disclosed to our leader, let’s find a different approach to resolve the issue, this could increase the merits we obtain."

Wu Changming wore a doubtful expression.

He was uncertain about Qin An’s alternative solution for resolving the issue.

He was somewhat perplexed.

Since, in his view, telling the leader would secure a significant amount of merit right away.

But now, Qin An suggested another method, which puzzled him even more.

Qin An thought, with a slight upward curve of his mouth, showing a trace of a smile.

The opponent was a Pseudo-God with desires, so he used those desires to amplify their greed enormously.

Now, it seems their greed has indeed been magnified.

Given this thought, Qin An didn’t ponder further, slowly spoke.

"First, I need to know what the supreme essence of this street is, and where it is located to amplify the merits."

"As long as Lord Wu informs me, I’ll devise a brilliant plan based on that."

He didn’t disclose the plan details, keeping Wu Changming in suspense.

But he knew, Wu Changming currently overwhelmed by greed, would certainly respond decisively.

Sure enough, after uttering the phrase, Wu Changming didn’t doubt Qin An, just pondered briefly, organized his words, and quickly responded.

"It’s impossible for them to seize the supreme essence because our leader holds it firmly, and it serves as the power source for our Chaotic Street."
