361: Chapter meets Shadow, deal done

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a lake, not only subtly probing whether this mysterious Shadow Lord was indeed the legendary Master of Shadow Killers,

but also, while revealing his own purpose, incidentally testing the depth of the other party's true strength.

The figure shrouded in shadow opposite them remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "It seems you have already guessed my true identity, but this is not a matter of utmost importance."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Following that, Shadow Lord continued, "As for the trade you proposed, I am willing to accept it.

After all, I happen to possess such a piece of information, and this information is precisely what Number 009 urgently needed before, and it is still in my possession."

Hearing this, Baili Ziyuan couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, and eagerly pressed, "He obtained the relevant information from you? Have you already had contact?"

However, Shadow Lord did not directly answer his question, merely responding coldly, "I have no obligation to answer questions, unless, of course, you are willing to pay a price, then I would be happy to answer.

But now, the most crucial issue before you is the reward. If you cannot pay the corresponding remuneration, then this trade, which had the potential to be reached, can only be declared void."

Baili Ziyuan took a deep breath, composed himself, and asked, "Then, what kind of reward do you specifically want?"

"This matter is not difficult, but even with your personal strength, or the powerful Dragon Group behind you,

if you spend a year or half a year investigating in depth, you should also be able to find out everything. Therefore, my asking price is a Low Grade saint relic."

Upon hearing this, Baili Ziyuan looked up at the two people in front of him, as he did not have a saint relic.

Dragon Xuanyuan and Prince Wuan both nodded calmly, transmitting to him, "You can agree, ask how to pay?"

"No problem, how will you give me what I want?"

"Above the ground in the Thirteenth District, I will release my aura and wait for you and those next to you."

In the next instant, after the communicator emitted a "beep beep beep" sound, it suddenly disconnected. Baili Ziyuan, Prince Wuan, and Dragon Xuanyuan looked at each other, falling silent for a moment, none knowing where to start.

After a while, Prince Wuan was the first to break the oppressive silence: "This Shadow is quite interesting!

He clearly guessed our existence, yet still came to the appointment without fear. Does he really have this strength or is he too confident?"

His deep eyes flickered with light, and a hint of imperceptible killing intent even flashed through them.

However, just as Prince Wuan was about to act, Dragon Xuanyuan, who was beside him, reached out and stopped him, saying softly, "Don't be in a hurry to act. Perhaps this is just one of his probing methods.

In any case, it is completely worth it to meet this mysterious Shadow Lord with just a Low Grade saint relic."

Hearing these words, although Prince Wuan was unwilling, he still nodded, indicating his agreement to temporarily hold back.

Meanwhile, in the basement of the Dark Night Bar, Shadow, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them at this moment.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a meaningful smile: "Hehe, Four Kings, I'm really looking forward to it."

As soon as the words fell, one of his personal guard members beside him, like a ghost, silently merged into the surrounding dark space, instantly disappearing without a trace.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire sky into a colorful scene, with the beautiful evening clouds.

The buildings on the ground also cast long shadows under the setting sun, as if a huge ink painting was spread out before people's eyes.

On top of a tall building within the main headquarters of the Great Xia Military Department, three figures stood quietly.

They frowned slightly, their gazes sharp as they scanned the surroundings, seemingly wary of potential danger that could appear at any time.

"We've waited for half a day, is he not coming?"

Prince Wuan looked a little displeased, then looked at Baili Ziyuan beside him, "Dragon Dark, have you sensed anything?"

Baili Ziyuan shook his head, "Not yet. If he doesn't actively expose his aura, I cannot sense him."

"Let's wait a little longer, he has no need to deceive us!"

Dragon Xuanyuan's eyes darkened slightly, "This also precisely verifies that his strength is not very high, and he is also not a short distance from us."

"He's here!"

With this shout, the entire atmosphere instantly became tense.

Before his words had completely fallen, Baili Ziyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, his gaze sharp as a blade, looking directly towards a certain direction.

Immediately after, he looked at the two people beside him without hesitation, then his figure flickered, taking a step, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he was.

Seeing this, Prince Wuan and Dragon Xuanyuan, who were standing beside him, both had slight changes in expression. After quickly exchanging a solemn look, they nodded in understanding and together rapidly chased in the direction Baili Ziyuan had left.

In the very next moment, three figures appeared almost simultaneously in a quiet small grove not far from the main headquarters of the Great Xia Military Department.

At this time, in this small grove, a mysterious figure was quietly emerging from the deep shadow of one of the large trees.

This figure was unusually tall, standing over two meters.

He was completely black like ink, as if capable of devouring all surrounding light, making people feel an inexplicable chill rising from their hearts just by looking at him.

A pair of huge black wings grew on his back, with a wide wingspan, shimmering with a heart-pounding cold light.

Sharp claws extended from his fingertips, as hard as if forged from steel.

Not only that, but his body also seemed to be covered with a layer of sturdy armor that was very close to his own skin color, protecting his body tightly.

The most striking feature was that pair of eyes glowing with a strange red light, like burning flames, revealing a cold and ruthless aura.

Undoubtedly, this powerful and mysterious existence before them was one of Shadow's personal guard members.

After seeing the figure before them clearly, the three had different expressions. Baili Ziyuan directly said, "This isn't your main body, is it?"

He had seen Shadow's main body and the creature before him, but none of them looked as fierce as this guy, and their aura was much weaker.

"Naturally not. This is one of my personal guard. Just delivering some information and exchanging for some things is not worth me coming personally."

Shadow's voice drifted over, and as he spoke, a thick stack of documents appeared in his hand.

"Where are yours?"

Saying this, he looked at Dragon Xuanyuan and Prince Wuan behind Baili Ziyuan, his crimson gaze looking extremely strange, but the two paid no mind.

Dragon Xuanyuan even directly took out a Low Grade saint relic weapon and threw it directly to Shadow.

Shadow took it and carefully examined it before handing over the documents with satisfaction, but he did not leave immediately and continued to look at the three.

"011, Master already knows you joined Great Xia. Do you want to know what He said?"
