It's not that because of Liu Ziru's few words, Xuanyuan Shun felt that Liu Ziru qualified to enter their Xuanyuan Clan's main hall.
Of course, this is partly because it allows them to provide the Xuanyuan Clan with the intelligence they currently need.
The most important thing is...
In Xuanyuan Shun's view, the Dark Domain's rapid growth amidst the hidden talents and pressure from the renowned intelligence force, Listening Wind Pavilion, must be due to its exceptional qualities.
Perhaps they have a powerful mentor guiding them? Or perhaps the hidden forces behind them are inherently very powerful?
certainly.
Like other forces, the Xuanyuan Clan did not want to see the Listening Wind Pavilion dominate the intelligence field.
Because of the Listening Wind Pavilion's monopoly, almost 99% of intelligence is purchased from the Listening Wind Pavilion, which has led to their increasingly sophisticated approach and higher prices for intelligence.
While this might be acceptable to top-tier powers, who wouldn't want to secure more benefits for themselves in a deal?
More importantly... they were well aware that the Listening Wind Pavilion had probably already planted spies among some of the top powers, but they just hadn't discovered it yet.
Although I had previously felt that it was not good for the Listening Wind Pavilion to be so dominant, I did not have a better intelligence force to replace it, so I did not bother to take action against the Listening Wind Pavilion.
But now a new intelligence force is slowly rising, and in a short period of time it has already gained the ability to compete with the Listening Wind Pavilion.
In addition, the wrong information given to the Xuanyuan Clan by the Listening Wind Pavilion served as the trigger.
This feeling gradually grew stronger.
The Dark Domain may be a force capable of challenging the Listening Wind Pavilion in the near future.
Moreover... their Xuanyuan Clan had the opportunity to establish friendly relations with the Dark Domain ahead of time.
If the Dark Domain can achieve a great victory in this struggle and successfully seize most of the Listening Wind Pavilion's market or even completely replace it, then the Xuanyuan Clan will reap enormous benefits from establishing good relations with the Dark Domain in advance!
A powerful intelligence agency will be valued by top powers no matter where it is located.
This is why Xuanyuan Shun agreed to take Liu Ziru to the main hall.
Proceed to the main hall.
It was merely to extend a gesture of goodwill towards Liu Ziru.
As for the reward for the intelligence, Liu Ziru didn't ask for much, just half of what Listening Wind Pavilion offered.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Shun also offered to help the Dark Domain fight against the Listening Wind Pavilion... Of course, Liu Ziru did not explicitly agree to this.
It is said that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
But the other party was still after Ye Qiubai and even wanted to take his life.
This made Liu Ziru very unhappy.
Although he was only an unofficial member of the Cottage, Liu Ziru had long regarded Ye Qiubai and his gang of brats as family.
After all, everyone calls him " Uncle Liu "!
Soon, their discussion on "harmony" was coming to an end.
Xuanyuan Shun actually stood up on his own initiative, nodded to Liu Ziru, and said, "I have received the intelligence. I believe the Dark Domain's intelligence gathering capabilities will not disappoint me."
Liu Ziru nodded and smiled, "Then I'll be leaving now, but... I don't think the Xuanyuan Clan head would like other forces monitoring the Xuanyuan Clan, would he?"
Xuanyuan Shun was slightly taken aback, then grinned maliciously, "That's for sure."
Liu Ziru had just stepped out of the Xuanyuan Clan's gate when he glanced in one direction, then crushed the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman and vanished from the spot.
Those from the Listening Wind Pavilion who were watching Liu Ziru from a short distance away were all taken aback.
Were we discovered?
One of the deputy pavilion masters said with a grim expression, "There are no spatial fluctuations. The other party may have used other escape techniques, which means there must be traces to follow, and they can't have gone far. We must catch up!"
"Instruct all the nearby Tingfeng to be on the lookout!"
Those who Tingfeng are the spies and informants of the Listening Wind Pavilion.
The people around him all nodded.
However, just as everyone from the Listening Wind Pavilion was about to take action, an immense pressure suddenly descended!
This rendered everyone in the Listening Wind Pavilion unable to move.
The sword cultivators outside the Xuanyuan Clan's gate also paused, looking up at the sky. "It's the elders of the Xuanyuan Clan!"
"Good heavens, all the elders have come out! Has something serious happened?"
The two vice-pavilion masters of the Listening Wind Pavilion stared at this scene with grim expressions, their voices hoarse as they asked, "What brings the elders of the Xuanyuan Clan here?"
The elders of the Xuanyuan Clan floated in the air, with the First Elder standing at the head, looking down coldly at the people from the Listening Wind Pavilion. His voice was as Nine Nether and ruthless as ice from the depths of hell!
" The Listening Wind Pavilion is truly audacious. It was one thing for them to give us incorrect intelligence before, but now they dare to plant spies outside our Xuanyuan Clan?"
He then looked at the two men wearing bamboo hats from the Listening Wind Pavilion, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
"Two vice-pavilion masters personally came? Do they really not take our Xuanyuan Clan seriously?"
Upon hearing this...
One of the deputy pavilion masters, enduring the pressure from the nine elders of the Xuanyuan Clan, gritted his teeth and hoarsely said, "Elders, you misunderstand... We, the Listening Wind Pavilion, are only here to keep watch on one person; we have no habit of monitoring the Xuanyuan Clan."
"Oh? Who are you waiting for?"
"People from the Dark Domain," the Vice Pavilion Master answered truthfully.
"The people monitoring the Dark Domain have discovered our Xuanyuan Clan?" The Second Elder, with his fiery temper, suddenly drew his sword! The silver light seemed to invade all the light sources in the world, with only this one silver light slashing past!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people from the Listening Wind Pavilion perished on the spot!
Upon hearing these words...
The two deputy pavilion masters also knew that the Xuanyuan Clan probably intended to take action against the Listening Wind Pavilion.
It seems that the Dark Domain has reached some kind of agreement with the Xuanyuan Clan.
With that thought in mind, after sending out the message, he wanted to abandon everyone else and flee the place immediately!
But.
The nine elders of the Xuanyuan Clan did not give the two deputy pavilion masters any chance to escape.
They even brought out spatial isolation formations, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Regardless of the circumstances, their intention to spy on the Xuanyuan Clan is despicable!"
As soon as the words were spoken, amidst the despairing gazes of everyone in the Listening Wind Pavilion, the nine elders began a merciless massacre.
It only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The nine elders turned and left, entering the gates of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Outside the gate lay hundreds of corpses.
The bodies were not cleaned, as if to warn certain forces.
Upon seeing this, the other sword cultivators outside the gate were all terrified and began to leave one after another.
For a time, the once bustling gates of the Xuanyuan Clan were now deserted.
The wind blew, stirring up sand and pebbles, and also stirring up the desolate atmosphere that blanketed the land...
Heavenly Mystery Continent, South Wind Divine Dynasty.
In the imperial court, the second prince of the Divine Dynasty Nan Tingfeng, was about to enter when he suddenly stopped, listening to the message coming into his mind, and his face darkened.
However, he then revealed a coldness completely at odds with his humble and gentle appearance, and said in a low voice, "Never mind... Anyway, we've gathered most of the intelligence on the various forces we needed to gather. Although it's not the best time, we can start preparing now."
" The Dark Domain... Heh, in the end, it's just a small-time, insignificant force."
