Moon Worship Sacred Land was located in the Moon Worship Mountain Range west of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. Since Gu Changge was traveling alone this time, he controlled his flying spirit sword and easily arrived at Moon Worship Sacred Land.
"Stop! Who goes there? What business do you have at our Moon Worship Sacred Land?"
Two core deacons standing at Moon Worship Sacred Land's entrance saw Gu Changge approach and shouted.
"I am a Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."
Gu Changge took out his identity token as the Eleventh Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
"So it is the esteemed Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. Please forgive our poor eyesight."
The other deacon recognized Gu Changge's identity. As the heir of a colossal force with five emperors in one lineage, he immediately spoke with utmost respect.
"May I ask what brings Your Highness to our Moon Worship Sacred Land?"
The other deacon asked respectfully.
"I am looking for your Holy Son."
Gu Changge said.
"So that is the case. I will notify the Holy Son at once."
As the deacon spoke, he ran toward the main peak of the Moon Worship Mountain Range.
Half an hour later.
"May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"
At this moment, Shi Dong emerged from his cultivation cave and arrived at the outermost mountain gate of Moon Worship Sacred Land, where Gu Changge had already been waiting for a long time.
"Wait, it's you?"
When Shi Dong had spoken those first words, he had not yet seen Gu Changge. But after taking a look at him, Shi Dong could not help saying in shock.
"What, are you surprised to see me?"
Gu Changge said calmly.
"So it was my benefactor. I was worrying over where to find you so I could repay you. I never expected you to be the noble Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."
Seeing that Gu Changge had misunderstood, Shi Dong hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Since you want to repay me, why not grant me one request?"
Gu Changge said.
"What request?"
Shi Dong asked.
"It is simple, but outsiders cannot hear it. Come closer, and I will tell you quietly."
Gu Changge said.
Thus, Shi Dong moved closer to Gu Changge.
Gu Changge quietly told Shi Dong why he had come to find him this time—he wanted Shi Dong to help him cultivate informants within Moon Worship Sacred Land.
"This..."
Shi Dong hesitated. This request was somewhat difficult to handle. If the upper ranks of Moon Worship Sacred Land found out, he would definitely have no easy time of it.
?
"What, didn't you want to repay me? You cannot even accomplish such a small request?"
Gu Changge gave a soft laugh and said.
Hesitation appeared on Shi Dong's face. Then he gritted his teeth, deciding that he could not be an ungrateful man, and said, "Fine, I agree. But once I finish this matter for you, the two of us will be even."
"No problem."
Gu Changge said easily.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully making the Son of Heaven's Mandate, Shi Dong, work for the host. This has damaged the Son of Heaven's Mandate's image. Shi Dong's Destiny Value has decreased by 200. The host has been rewarded with 2,000 System Points."
Gu Changge smiled in satisfaction upon hearing the system notification.
This time, by making this request of Shi Dong, no matter what Shi Dong did—whether he broke faith or helped someone else—it would damage his image as a Son of Heaven's Mandate. Heaven would withdraw part of the Heavenly Dao Will's blessing upon Shi Dong, which was his Destiny Value.
Then Gu Changge rode his spirit sword back to the imperial city of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
"The informant mission at Moon Worship Sacred Land is settled. Next is the Liuli Divine Dynasty. Ningyan, come with me to the imperial city of the Liuli Divine Dynasty."
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Gu Changge spoke.
"Yes."
Yu Ningyan said.
Then he brought Yu Ningyan into the White Jade Chariot, forged from the Emperor-grade spirit material White Emperor Jade. Drawn by three imposing QI Condensation Realm First Layer qilin beasts, it headed toward the Liuli Divine Dynasty, located east of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
This time, unlike when Gu Changge had gone to Moon Worship Sacred Land and been stopped by others, one only had to see the imposing White Jade Chariot and the three qilin beasts to know that its owner was either rich or noble.
The White Jade Chariot, pulled by the three qilin beasts, descended onto the ground within the imperial city of the Liuli Divine Dynasty. Gu Changge and Yu Ningyan stepped out of the chariot.
Because of their otherworldly bearing and handsome, beautiful features, Gu Changge and Yu Ningyan drew the attention of many people in the crowd.
Gu Changge, however, paid them no mind. Instead, he led Yu Ningyan directly to knock on the residences of those royal descendants within the imperial city—the various princely estates of nobles enfeoffed as kings and marquises by the Liuli Divine Dynasty.
"Master, let us go to the Qingping Prince's Mansion first. One of my younger male cousins is a young master there."
Yu Ningyan said.
"Alright."
Gu Changge said. Then he took Yu Ningyan's hand, and under her guidance, they made their way to the Qingping Prince's Mansion of the Liuli Divine Dynasty.
Knock, knock, knock!
Gu Changge knocked on the gates of the princely estate.
Creak—
The gates opened, revealing a servant dressed in servant's attire.
"I am a princess of the Liuli Divine Dynasty. I have come specifically to visit the Qingping Prince's Mansion today and request an audience with its Second Young Master."
Yu Ningyan displayed her identity token.
Seeing that Her Highness the Princess had arrived, the servant immediately ran to notify Yu Qin Hao, the Second Young Master of the Qingping Prince's Mansion.
"Elder Sister? What brings you here?"
Yu Qin Hao said when he saw Yu Ningyan arrive.
"This is... Oh, the young master we met in the Quasi-Emperor Ruins that day."
Yu Qin Hao saw Gu Changge and stared at that familiar face. After thinking carefully for a moment, he slapped his forehead and spoke.
"We have come this time mainly to ask you for a favor."
Yu Ningyan explained to Yu Qin Hao why she and Gu Changge had come to the imperial city of the Liuli Divine Dynasty.
"This... Elder Sister, it is not that I do not want to help you. If this is discovered, it will be treated as treason, and we could lose our heads."
After hearing Yu Ningyan's request, Yu Qin Hao said hesitantly.
"Do not worry. Once Changge Hall develops, you will certainly receive your share of the benefits."
Gu Changge said.
Thinking of Gu Changge's heroic and awe-inspiring performance in the Quasi-Emperor Ruins that day, then thinking of how Changge Hall was an organization established by the heir of a colossal force with five emperors in one lineage together with other major factions, Yu Qin Hao realized that he was merely the young master of a princely estate in the Liuli Divine Dynasty. If he could become one of Changge Hall's founding elders during its earliest days, would his status not soar severalfold?
Yu Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was tempted.
"Fine, Elder Sister, I agree. Leave the task of setting up informants in the Liuli Divine Dynasty to me. I will contact several cousins who were with us in the Quasi-Emperor Ruins that day and establish a branch hall of Changge Hall at once."
"The informant mission in the Liuli Divine Dynasty is complete. Now only Jade Pool Holy Land remains."
Gu Changge said.
Thus, Gu Changge first brought Yu Ningyan back to the Prince's Mansion in the imperial city of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty aboard the White Jade Chariot.
Since Gu Changge's mother, Su Yurou, was the Holy Lord of Jade Pool Holy Land, Gu Changge could complete the informant mission there without needing anyone else.
