"I still need to investigate this matter before I can reach a conclusion.
"Still, thank you, fellow Daoist, for telling me this news," the Dark Dragon Venerable said to Xu Zimo in thanks.
Xu Zimo waved his hand.
"You needn't thank me. Before long, this news will likely be known to everyone.
"After all, something as significant as the Empress cannot be hidden, even if one wishes to hide it."
This was, in truth, one of Xu Zimo's strategies.
If he ran through the streets himself, talking about the Empress's inheritance, perhaps no one would believe him at all.
By using the Shadow Sect's hand to spread the news,
the chances of success would be much higher.
And the news would likely spread even faster.
After all, the so-called Nine Master Powers of Dongbai City appeared to stand in opposition on the surface.
But in the shadows, who knew whether they had colluded with one another?
Perhaps spies planted among each other would quickly spread this news.
"My previous offer still stands. If fellow Daoist wishes to join the Shadow Sect, I will always be waiting for you."
Xu Zimo waved his hand. He did not particularly wish to discuss this topic.
The Empress's inheritance was of great importance. The Dark Dragon Venerable did not press the matter and hurriedly departed.
Xu Zimo observed the City of Hundred Battles.
It was said that during the Empress's prime, this city had already been the foremost city in Dongbai City, even in the Nine Domains.
And now, the city had expanded once again, only growing larger than before.
The Outer City was mostly filled with all kinds of delicacies, as well as residents who had newly arrived here.
The Inner City, on the other hand, was the true City of Hundred Battles.
