An Old Acquaintance

"The sphere of influence of the Shen Clan?"

Before the city gate, Qin Li paused and whispered as she looked at the character "Shen" on the corner of the plaque above the gate.

"Junior sister, what's wrong?"

Gu Chen looked over and asked.

"Nothing."

Qin Li shook her head, pointed to the position of the character "Shen," and said:

"This is similar to the Five Continents Continent, but they will directly mark it with the character 'Shen' to indicate that they are under the rule of the Shen Clan."

"Is the Shen Clan very powerful in the Misty Clear Realm?" Huang Zhan asked.

Qin Li thought for a moment and said:

"Judging from the current situation, they are by no means weak."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked towards the city.

The stronger the power, the more information it can access.

If such a force were to sell information, it would perfectly fulfill his current objective.

Although he knew that the Huang Clan came from the Misty Clear Realm.

However, this was merely a fact; ancient texts contained very limited records of the Huang Clan's presence in the Misty Clear Realm.

What level was the Huang Clan at in the Misty Clear Realm, and what kind of glory did they once possess?

As a descendant of the Huang Clan, from the moment I returned to the Misty Clear Realm, I inevitably felt an urge to understand it.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Qin Li withdrew her gaze and greeted him.

Then, he headed towards Crimson Feather City.

"Is Senior Brother Gu's trip very urgent?" Qin Li asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head:

"It's not too urgent. Does Junior Sister have something to do?"

Qin Li nodded. "I plan to gather some information; it will probably take some time."

"Junior sister, go ahead. There's a teleportation array available; the journey won't take long," Gu Chen said.

Then, Qin Li walked in another direction.

At this moment, Huang Zhan also looked over and said:

"Young friend Gu, we also plan to look into some information, so we'll have to wait a little longer?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen thought for a moment:

"I don't have anything to do either. In that case, let's go together."

The three then began searching the city.

Places for purchasing intelligence do exist.

After making some inquiries, the three arrived at an extremely magnificent building in the city.

According to the person being questioned.

This is the largest information exchange center in the city, and also the most authoritative place.

Unlike Crimson Feather City, which is subordinate to the Shen Clan, this place is directly under the Shen Clan. Here, you can exchange useful information for resources, and you can also use resources to buy information.

The three entered and waited for a moment before arriving at a separate room.

"What kind of intelligence are you seeking?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen looked at Huang Zhan, who then spoke, saying:

"Do you have any Huang Clan records here?"

"Huang Clan?" The person asking glanced at Huang Zhan and said:

"Are you referring to that Huang Clan that existed in the history of the Misty Clear Realm?"

Huang Zhan nodded:

"Good."

"Some."

The person asking the question nodded and then said:

"Besides that, is there anything else you need?"

Huang Zhan shook his head:

"Anything related to the Huang Clan is fine."

The person asking the question nodded, and then instructed the Huang Zhan to exchange resources for it.

After finishing collecting them, he stood up and said:

"It will take some time; I'll go and retrieve the relevant information."

After leaving, the person arrived in another space.

Here, you can retrieve all the information that is available.

However, he did not immediately begin his work, but instead approached a middle-aged man and said:

"Sir, a group of three has arrived. They want to retrieve information related to the Huang Clan."

"Huang Clan?"

Upon hearing this, the steward took out a piece of jade and held it in his hand, as if confirming something, and muttered something:

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and extended it towards the person who had approached him.

The visitor immediately handed a photo-taking stone to the other party.

The scene recorded in the photographic stone is exactly what the three of them were talking about.

The steward finished observing the scene, then glanced at the person before him and said:

"I'll handle this personally."

After saying that, the steward waved his hand and stripped the man down to his underwear.

On the other side.

Qin Li did not come to where Gu Chen and the other two were.

Instead, he chose a street corner, a quiet spot with lots of people, and started a conversation.

"Shen Wufeng only recently Dao Realm? That descendant of the Liu Clan, Aptitude of a Great Emperor, hasn't appeared yet, and there haven't been any unusual movements reported from that forbidden area in the Misty Clear Realm..."

Before long, Qin Li had compiled the information she had heard from everyone.

Soon, uncertainty returned to his eyes:

"If I calculate the time, it seems that the time I returned to wasn't the original time?"

Now she is certain that she has indeed traveled back in time.

But it's not about completely returning to that initial age.

Otherwise, if we calculate based on the timeline, there are still some discrepancies.

"However, although the timing doesn't match, some major events should still be consistent."

Qin Li snapped out of her thoughts and her gaze fell once again on the character "Shen".

"Shen Wufeng, I never expected to run into you again."

"I wonder if you'll be the same as last time."

Qin Li murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on the distance.

Shen Wufeng was an old friend of hers, and one who left a very deep impression on her.

Now, I meet an old friend again, but in a completely different situation.

This feeling is very unique and subtle.

"Gentlemen, thank you for waiting."

I waited for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The person who had left earlier then returned to the room.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and several jade talismans appeared on the table in front of the three of them.

"All the information related to the Huang Clan is here. If any of you three have any further questions about the Huang Clan, feel free to ask me."

As he spoke, the man paused slightly, then smiled and said:

"Of course, it also requires resources to acquire."

Thank you for your help.

Huang Zhan spoke up, picked up a jade talisman, and placed it in his hand.

Just as he was about to look, Gu Chen spoke up:

"The information inside should be able to be taken away, right?"

"Of course, since it's an exchange, all of these belong to the three of you."

After saying that, he added:

"However, the information here can only be viewed three times before it is automatically destroyed. This is something to be aware of if this is your first time using it."

Upon hearing that the jade talisman was destroyed after being examined only three times, Huang Zhan was clearly surprised.

This method is clearly unprecedented on the Five Continents Continent.

"Now that it's all ours, we can take a look when we have free time. But we have other things to do right now, so we won't take up any more time here." Gu Chen stood up.

Huang Zhan nodded and collected all the jade tokens on the table.

The three then got up and left.

After walking a sufficient distance, Gu Chen then transmitted his voice to Huang Zhan and asked:

"Was there a bad relationship between your Huang Clan and the Shen Clan before, or were they enemies?"

Huang Zhan paused for a moment, then quickly seemed to realize something and frowned in response:

"Ancient texts record that the Shen Clan could be considered a trustworthy ally, but with so many years having passed, it's impossible to be certain now."

Having said that, Huang Zhan asked:

"Has young friend Gu discovered something?"

Gu Chen nodded and said:

"If they didn't have ulterior motives, they wouldn't need to bring in another person."
