The Underworld had sent someone to invite Su Xin, so naturally he went to see who it was.
After leaving, he changed his appearance and followed the information on the token to an inn in Shengjing City. When he pushed open the door, he discovered that Judge Cui was sitting inside.
"Judge Cui? Has something happened in the Underworld?" Su Xin asked as he sat down across from him.
Judge Cui shook his head. "It's good news. The Underworld has made some progress in uncovering the secret of the White Jade Tablets. We've found a few promising leads."
Su Xin raised an eyebrow. That was something he hadn't expected.
At present, the only two powers in the entire martial world to have gathered all eight White Jade Tablets were the Underworld and Great Zhou.
Great Zhou had more people and resources, so it was certainly much stronger than the Underworld in this regard. And with the monks from the Esoteric Sect helping them, Great Zhou should have been the first to uncover the secret. Su Xin hadn't expected the Underworld to get there first—and in less than a year, too.
Judge Cui continued, "But don't get too excited. We've only uncovered a tiny part of the secret so far, though we've gained a few benefits. You can go claim your share whenever you return to the Underworld.
"We've also found some clues about the White Jade Tablets. Someone may need to follow them up, so I came to ask whether you have time and whether you're willing to take on this mission.
"The Underworld originally planned for me to lead a team there, but we've had a lot going on lately, and this mission could take a long time, so I declined. If you're free, come back to the Underworld
