Just now, Chen You had written on the paper: "Azure Lotus City, Li Tianen, the surviving register—where is it now?"
The shadow returned to the main house with the request, contacted the Dark World, and immediately learned the relevant information.
The Dark World named its price: ten thousand purple-gold coins.
To Lin Bai, Li Guxian, and the others, ten thousand purple-gold coins was an astronomical sum.
But to the dignified Prince Chen of Chu, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
Chen You smiled, took ten thousand purple-gold coins from his Storage Bag, and slapped them onto the stone table.
The shadow reached out and took the purple-gold coins. After counting them, he slowly said, "The Azure Lotus City Lord, Li Tianen, began collecting information on the Blood God Sect more than a decade ago. He happened to discover that the Blood God Sect's disciples had infiltrated the cities and towns of Ke Province, taking control of the city lord seals of tens of thousands of cities."
"Because the matter implicated too many people, Li Tianen didn't dare make it public. He could only record, one by one, the city lord seals connected to the Blood God Sect."
"Later, after a trusted aide betrayed him, Li Tianen took his own life to prove his innocence. Princess Leping followed her husband into death..."
"A generation's hero had thus met his end."
From the way he spoke, it was clear that the shadow held Li Tianen in exceptional esteem.
Every word was filled with respect.
Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Li Guxian's eyes.
He Qiyun hurriedly supported Li Guxian and softly comforted her.
The shadow continued, "According to the Dark World's knowledge, no more than five people know that this register exists."
"Li Tianen and Princess Leping are both dead.
