This was good news for Meng Zhao as well. At least he now had a clear objective. Even if contact with the Dan Chi Clan failed to meet expectations, he still had follow-up measures to fall back on, giving him a bargaining chip that allowed him to advance or retreat.
After saying this, Meng Zhao asked about some of the Heavenly King's recent movements, as well as secrets related to him.
The gains were equally substantial.
First, the Heavenly King was indeed currently living in a hidden cave somewhere within Hu Mountain, preparing and waiting for a ritual. This ritual was likely the Evil Weapon Breaking Blade Ritual Meng Zhao had guessed at.
Geng Pomo did not name the ritual. Meng Zhao did not know whether Geng Pomo was unaware of it because the Heavenly King had not told him, or whether he was deliberately concealing it from Meng Zhao.
Second, according to Geng Pomo's estimate, the ritual would be completed in roughly one to one and a half months. He had heard an unmistakable sense of impatience in the Heavenly King's words on several occasions.
He had calculated this based on the times the Heavenly King had occasionally revealed, together with his own deductions.
It might not have been entirely accurate, but it should not have been far off. Meng Zhao knew from Zeng Dong that the time they were to hand over the Hundred Man Kill weapons was only a few days earlier than Geng Pomo's estimate.
This cross-checked information allowed Meng Zhao to pinpoint the focus more accurately and gave him greater confidence in his own judgment.
These pieces of information were quite useful to Meng Zhao. He could make use of this estimated time to visit the place where Su Tianwang had settled, scout it out
