The study door was tightly shut. Not a sound of whatever was being discussed inside could be heard outside.
Trying to eavesdrop by extending his divine sense into the study as before probably would not work. After all, this was a genuine Dragon Prince, who could easily detect such petty tricks.
But Cui Jiuyang had come prepared. His expression unchanged, he curled his fingers, activating the talisman he had planted on Ao Dongping while drinking with him the previous night.
The Heavenly Ear Talisman was a wondrous talisman derived from the Buddhist Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power. Once it was planted on someone and activated, its user could hear whatever the target was hearing at that moment.
The talisman itself was not difficult to make and could be drawn quite easily. But planting it on someone undetected required powerful cultivation; otherwise, the other person would notice it the moment it touched them.
The instant the talisman took effect, the voices in the study reached Cui Jiuyang's ears. It was General Lei speaking:
"As soon as that Crossing Waves Military Formation appeared, your subordinate sensed something was wrong and immediately denounced it as a fake formation."

Cui Jiuyang listened carefully to the voices coming through the Heavenly Ear Talisman.
Starting with how they had deployed their forces to attack the Demon Cave, General Lei recounted every detail, right up to their eventual return to the Sea-Heaven Pillar.
"The moment we saw those mountains of treasure, we knew their origins had to be complicated. They were far beyond anything a little Demon Cave could possess. So we dared not delay in the slightest. We immediately loaded all the treasures carefully onto carts and hurried straight to the Sea-Heaven Pillar without stopping, afraid that a delay would bring complications."
