His gaze swept over Di Yun and Linghu Chong, and he felt that the auras of the two were unfathomable, stronger than those of Jing Ke and Yao Li.
He secretly guessed, "These two... are at least in the Nirvana Realm!"
"Greetings, esteemed sirs," Shangguan Hong dared not delay and quickly bowed.
Yuan Tiangang raised his hand, "Sit. When will your Shangguan Family's patriarch election begin?"
"Replying to sir, it's in another six months."
Shangguan Hong sat down, took out a Storage Ring, and pushed it over.
"Inside are ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, plus fifty Spiritual Medicines that are a hundred years old. Consider it an initial thank-you gift."
Yuan Tiangang took the Storage Ring. A sweep of his spiritual energy confirmed the quantity was correct, and he casually put it into his own Storage Ring.
"Tell me about the Shangguan Family's situation," Yuan Tiangang said.
Shangguan Hong organized his thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"The patriarch, my father, had his cultivation drop to Nirvana Peak after being injured;"
"There is also an old ancestor in the clan, who is already at Heavenly Human Peak;"
"And two other elders in the Nirvana Realm, who are assisting my second brother and fifth sister respectively."
He paused, his tone solemn.
"As for the forces behind my siblings, they have not yet been identified, but they are definitely not ordinary powers. At the very least, they are existences that can contend with the Shangguan Family."
Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed with understanding upon hearing this.
"There are still six months. You will continue to be the public pavilion master and help us stabilize the situation."
He pointed at Di Yun and Linghu Chong.
"These two are Di Yun and Linghu Chong. From now on, they will temporarily guard Langya Pavilion. You should cooperate with them."
"Yes, I understand," Shangguan Hong quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards Di Yun and Linghu Chong.
"Greetings, Lord Di and Lord Linghu."
Di Yun and Linghu Chong nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
Shangguan Hong took out another roster and offered it with both hands.
"This is the roster of all Langya Pavilion members, including the locations and responsible persons of our various strongholds."
Yuan Tiangang took the roster, flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Di Yun. "Familiarize yourselves with it first. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
With that, Yuan Tiangang's figure flickered and he disappeared into the inner hall.
Di Yun and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance and began to read the roster.
Shangguan Hong stood by the side, looking at these two Nirvana Realm experts, his heart growing more certain: Asking Misty Rain Tower for help was indeed my only way out.
Outside Langya Pavilion, the morning light grew stronger, and the hustle and bustle of Qingzhou City resumed.
No one knew that the intelligence organization of this Qingzhou Black Market had quietly changed hands.
And Misty Rain Tower's intelligence network had thus taken a crucial step towards covering the Eastern Region.
Yuan Tiangang left Langya Pavilion, and with a few flashes of his figure, he returned to a Misty Rain Tower stronghold.
Inside the Rain-Watching Pavilion, Ye Junlin stood by the window, gazing at the misty rain falling outside.
Seeing Yuan Tiangang return, he turned and asked, "How did things go?"
"Replying to my Lord, the handover was successful."
Yuan Tiangang took out the Storage Ring containing ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones and fifty Spiritual Medicines and handed it over.
"This is the initial thank-you gift from Shangguan Hong. The Langya Pavilion roster has also been given to Di Yun and Linghu Chong."
Ye Junlin took the Storage Ring, probed it with his spiritual energy, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, that's quite a lot."
With a thought, he said to the system, "System, migrate the Eternal Night Space to the dimensional space above the Misty Rain Tower stronghold."
[Ding! Command received, Eternal Night Space is beginning migration... Migration complete.]
As the system prompt sounded, Ye Junlin felt the space around him tremble slightly, then return to normal, as if nothing had happened.
But he could clearly sense that the Eternal Night Space was now suspended in the dimensional rift above the stronghold, forming a hidden connection with this place.
"Let's go, back to the Eternal Night Space." Ye Junlin stepped into an invisible spatial portal beside him first, with Yuan Tiangang following closely.
When they reappeared, they were already in the main hall of the Eternal Night Space.
Familiar spiritual light permeated the air, and a light screen floated quietly. Unlike before, through the windows of the hall, the outline of the Misty Rain Tower stronghold below could be vaguely seen.
"Much more stable," Ye Junlin chuckled. "It will be more convenient to come and go from now on."
He took out the Storage Ring containing the Spirit Stones and commanded in his heart, "System, exchange ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones for Energy Points."
[Ding! Ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones have been exchanged for 100,000 Energy Points.] [Current Energy Points: 100,000 + 5,000 = 105,000 points]
Watching the numbers flicker on the light screen, a trace of excitement flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes.
Since obtaining the system, this was the first time he had possessed so many Energy Points.
Ye Junlin rubbed his hands together, his gaze firm. "With one hundred thousand Energy Points, should I choose the Gold-grade or Platinum-grade draw?"
"Forget it, I'll take a gamble! I'll go straight for ten Platinum-grade draws."
After a moment of thought, he said to Yuan Tiangang, "Gangzi, go fetch me a basin of water."
Although Yuan Tiangang harbored doubts, he still obeyed and brought a basin of clean water.
Ye Junlin washed his hands, flicked away the water droplets, and secretly mused:
"This is the first time drawing from the Platinum tier, so I need to cleanse my hands to seek good fortune."
"If I can draw a Platinum Summoning Card, I can summon a character from the Land Immortal realm..."
His anticipation grew. The Land Immortal realm was a level far beyond the Heavenly Human Realm. If he could draw one, Eternal Night Heaven would no longer fear other top powers in the Eastern Region.
"System, consume 100,000 Energy Points and activate a ten-pull Platinum-grade draw!" Ye Junlin took a deep breath and gave the command.
[Ding! 100,000 Energy Points consumed, activating a Platinum-grade ten-pull draw!]
