Chapter 2668 - 2671: Buying Information: The Enemy's Stronghold

Previously, I didn't pay close attention, and Ling Xiao really didn't know there was such a powerful place within Thunder City. Even the gatekeepers have a first-tier ninth-level Hell Cultivation, so the owner here must be even stronger.

But what does he have to fear now?

"Stop, don't you know the rules?"

Ling Xiao, accompanied by Xiao Jin, headed straight towards the Volcano Tower, but was stopped by the tower's guards.

The man took out two Fire-avoidance Talismans and said, "One person, one beast, each costs 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Thank you, but I don't need them."

Ling Xiao waved his hand and continued to walk inside.

The people from the Volcano Tower didn't say anything more, but their eyes flashed with disdain and schadenfreude.

"Without buying the Fire-avoidance Talismans, you're just waiting to die."

He thought to himself.

Passersby around also began to chat.

"This must be some idiot from out of town. They're giving you Fire-avoidance Talismans, just take them. Don't you know how terrifying the Volcano Tower is?"

"Hmph, this kind of fool, better to die soon and be reborn."

However, amidst all the chatter, Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin smoothly and safely entered the Volcano Tower.

The chatter stopped abruptly.

In its place were eyes wide open in shock.

Amidst their astonishment, Ling Xiao had already arrived inside the Volcano Tower.

Straightaway, he found the person responsible for selling information.

"I am Xiao Huan. What kind of information would the young master like to purchase?"

The person receiving Ling Xiao was a woman with delicate features and a sweet voice.

Indeed, the service attitude seemed quite good.

Xiao Huan led Ling Xiao to a small room with excellent soundproofing.

The room was about five square meters, but it was clearly sufficient for trading.

"I want to inquire about information related to the Royal Family. Do you have any?"

Ling Xiao asked directly.

Xiao Huan was slightly taken aback, then quickly smiled and said, "Naturally, there is no problem, but it will be quite expensive."

"How much?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"That depends on which member of the Royal Family."

Xiao Huan added.

"What if it's information about the Wisdom Sage King Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Huan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "Wise and Virtuous King and War Proximity King are equally renowned. Although his life or death is currently unknown, his information requires at least 10 million Low-grade Spirit Stones to qualify for inquiry."

"Very well, as long as the information is reliable, these are yours."

Ling Xiao casually placed a Storage Ring on the table, and inside the ring were indeed 10 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Please wait a moment, young master. I'm just going to fetch our second Building Master. I can't make decisions on transactions of this level."

Xiao Huan hurriedly said.

"Alright."

Ling Xiao nodded and then waited for a moment. The door was pushed open, and besides Xiao Huan, there was another person dressed lavishly with a generously wealthy appearance.

He had formidable strength.

He was most likely the second Building Master Xiao Huan had mentioned.

"This is our second Building Master. You can discuss any transactions with him. I shall take my leave now."

The second Building Master entered and immediately noticed the golden bird perched on Ling Xiao's shoulder.

This person had a great fondness for collecting exotic treasures. Such a golden bird was something he had never had, and he was instantly intrigued.

As for the 10 million Low-grade Spirit Stones, he didn't give them a second glance.

"The young master wants to inquire about information on the Wise and Virtuous King?"

The second Building Master's eyes remained fixed on Xiao Jin, not giving Ling Xiao a direct look.

"Yes, I want to know what the current situation is with the Wisdom Sage King Mansion."

Ling Xiao asked.

"Our Volcano Tower naturally knows about it, but why is the young master inquiring about this information?"

The second Building Master's eyes finally turned towards Ling Xiao, but his gaze carried a hint of caution and indifference.

"Is that how Volcano Tower does business? You can't buy things without explaining your reasons?"

Ling Xiao retorted.

"Haha, that's not the case. It's just that such information is of great importance and must be handled with caution.

By the way, could the young master use that golden bird on your shoulder as compensation for purchasing this information?"

The second Building Master suddenly asked.

"That's impossible."

Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

"I can offer you a large sum, not only providing you with the information you want to know but also giving you an additional 100 million Low-grade Spirit Stones."

The second Building Master added.

"Would you sell your own brother?"

Ling Xiao frowned, "Xiao Jin is not just a bird; he is my brother!"

"Haha, I see."

The second Building Master smiled, but a vicious glint flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Someone actually dared to not show him respect.

He was very displeased.

However, forcefully taking it within the Volcano Tower would cross the line and damage the tower's reputation.

Moreover, he didn't know the opponent's strength, so it was best to be cautious.

"How about this, wait a moment. I need to consult my elder brother. If he agrees to sell you the information, the transaction will be complete.

After all, the information you're seeking is of significant gravity, and I can't make decisions on my own."

The second Building Master stood up and said.

"This time, I hope you directly bring someone who can make a decision. Don't leave me sitting idle again."

Ling Xiao's face showed some displeasure.

This kind of behavior from the other party really made him somewhat annoyed.

Even if things can't be accomplished in one step, they shouldn't drag him through multiple hoops like this.

"Don't be angry, young master, please wait a moment."

The second Building Master turned and left the room.

"Boss, that guy's gaze was really unpleasant."

Xiao Jin called out angrily a few times and then used Soul Transmission to communicate.

"It is quite unpleasant. Are you planning to teach him a lesson?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"No need for a lesson, I'm just worried these guys might have ulterior motives."

Xiao Jin reminded.

"That's perfect."

Ling Xiao said casually, "I wish they would, then I'd have a reason to make trouble. Otherwise, it's a bit hard to get down to it."

Meanwhile, the second Building Master was taking the elevator to the highest level of the Volcano Tower.

The top floor was built entirely from crystal.

Protected by multiple layers of Array Formations.

From the inside, one could see the entire panorama of Thunder City.

But from the outside, no one could see what was happening inside.

At this moment, three people were inside the top pavilion discussing matters.

One of them was naturally the Building Master of the Volcano Tower.

The other two were the Green Thunder General from the Thunder Corps and the Blood Demon Envoy, one of the Ten Demon Envoys from the Demon Shadow Sect.

After making his report, the second Building Master entered the room.

"Big brother, someone wants to buy information, but I can't make the decision."

"What information is so significant that even you can't make a decision?"

As these two spoke, they didn't treat the Green Thunder General and Blood Demon Envoy as outsiders.

Evidently, there was some sort of connection between them.

"What information is so significant that even you can't make a decision?"

The Building Master frowned and asked.

"It's information about the Wisdom Sage King Mansion!"

The second Building Master glanced at the Green Thunder General and Blood Demon Envoy seriously.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone in the room became serious.

"What on earth is going on? Who wants to buy information about the Wisdom Sage King Mansion?"

The Blood Demon Envoy asked urgently.
