28: The Queen’s plot, the owner of Yanyu Tower!

The three of them listened to Xu Nian's words, their expressions all solemn.

"Xu Director, we only have one request."

"If Misty Rain Tower truly cannot help us find Xiao Yan, then may we ask you to release a message for us?"

"Just say that if Xiao Yan is willing to show himself and meet, we are willing to prepare a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant as a meeting gift." The Third Elder of the Divine Sect, Wang Hancuo, said.

In their opinion, that Xiao Yan won the duel at Misty Rain Tower and took the Peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant.

Then it is highly likely that high-Realm Evil Infants are attractive to him.

Perhaps then, he would be willing to appear and meet.

Xu Nian's demeanor was steady, and he nodded, saying, "Releasing a message is certainly possible."

"However, under whose name should it be?"

Xu Nian's question was a good one.

The three of them, strictly speaking, belonged to three different factions.

Wang Hancuo was the Third Elder of the Divine Sect, representing the Divine Sect.

Black Iron King was a Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, though a Prince of a different surname, he was still a powerful figure in the Imperial Dynasty.

As for Prince of Guanshan Beisong, he had the National Preceptors Mansion as his background.

If Misty Rain Tower were to release the message, whose name among the three of them should be used?

"Xu Director, must the main party releasing the message from Misty Rain Tower be identified by name?" Black Iron King asked.

"Of course not."

"If the three of you intend to release it anonymously, my Misty Rain Tower can certainly do so." Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Then anonymously will suffice." Wang Hancuo said with an expressionless face.

"Alright."

"The rules of my Misty Rain Tower, I believe the three of you are clear on them."

"No need for your reminder." Black Iron King directly threw out two Storage Pouches, filled to the brim with Spirit Stones.

Xu Nian opened them and looked, "This is a bit too much. Do the three of you have any other information to buy?"

Wang Hancuo smiled calmly, "Indeed, we have one more thing we'd like to confirm with Misty Rain Tower."

"Please speak." Xu Nian said.

"We heard that because the Great Xia Emperor's Cultivation Technique is special, he has to undergo a tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man every five hundred years."

"His combat power even drops below the Nascent Soul Realm and will last for about half a month."

"Furthermore, his next tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man is just a few months away."

"Is this matter true?" Wang Hancuo asked openly at this moment.

One must know that if the words he just spoke were to spread, it would be enough for the Great Xia Emperor to accuse him of plotting rebellion.

However, Black Iron King, who was a powerful figure in the Imperial Dynasty, and Prince of Guanshan, both showed surprisingly calm expressions.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's expression slowly became serious: "Gentlemen, the price for verifying this matter must be at least five times these items."

"The items are sufficient." Wang Hancuo took out a Storage Ring and placed it directly in front of him.

Xu Nian confirmed that the price was sufficient.

"Good."

"I can responsibly tell the three of you that the matter you inquired about is indeed true."

"However, his tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man is not half a month, but only seven days."

After Xu Nian finished his explanation, he put all the items on the table into his pocket.

"Thank you."

The three stood up and left.

"Take care, gentlemen, and welcome back next time." Xu Nian said with a polite smile.

After they left, the smile on Xu Nian's face slowly disappeared.

Only a deep voice was heard in the reception room: "It seems they are preparing to make a move."

Xu Nian said, "The Great Xia Emperor is not a foolish person; he must have already prepared to face the tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man, even entering Imperial Ancestral Mountain."

"But with just the three of them, plus their factions and the backing of their forces, it would be very difficult to kill the Great Xia Emperor."

Xu Nian felt that if they wanted to rebel during the Great Xia Emperor's tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man, the probability of success was too low.

Moreover, those old fellows in Imperial Ancestral Mountain are the true pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty.

With them there, any rebellion would be courting death.

"You are wrong."

"Neither those three nor the Great Xia Empress, their target is not the Great Xia Emperor."

"Instead, it is the neutral factions and even the hostile forces within the Imperial City."

"As long as the Great Xia Emperor is not present, even if it's only for seven days, with the power and strength the Empress controls, it's enough to turn the entire Imperial City upside down."

"By the time the Great Xia Emperor's tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man passes, it will already be too late."

Upon hearing that, Xu Nian suddenly realized: "So that's it. No wonder when I told them that the tribulation of the five declines of heaven and man only lasts for seven days, their expressions didn't change much."

"Seven days are enough for the Empress to mobilize the power of the Divine Sect, plus the power controlled by her own faction, to control the majority of the powerful figures in the Imperial City, make them obey her orders, and thereby gradually strip the Great Xia Emperor of his power!"

"Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen, looking at it this way, it won't be long before this Imperial City will experience a major upheaval full of bloodshed."

This voice belonged to the mysterious Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen of Misty Rain Tower, who remained hidden.

It is rumored that, even now, no one has seen the true appearance of this Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen, except for a few core high-ranking members of Misty Rain Tower.

"Don't worry about it."

"What happens to the Great Xia Dynasty has nothing to do with us."

"No matter how chaotic the Imperial City becomes, no one dares to involve Misty Rain Tower."

"By the way, how is the investigation into Xiao Yan's matter progressing?"

Xu Nian showed a bitter smile: "Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen, let alone within the Great Xia Dynasty, I even had people from the headquarters check the entire Yuan Realm, and there is no place called Utan City."

"Therefore, Utan City can be confirmed as a fictional place he created, and his name, Xiao Yan, also has an eighty to ninety percent chance of being a false name."

"Otherwise, our people wouldn't be able to find any clues at all."

The Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen said, "Then investigate in another way."

"His two attendants, including anyone matching his physique, should all be investigated one by one."

"As long as he hasn't left the Imperial City, he will definitely be found."

Xu Nian accepted the order: "Yes, Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen, I understand."

.........

Soon after, Misty Rain Tower released an anonymous message, widely spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.

A mysterious figure offered a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant as a meeting gift for Xiao Yan, just to meet him.

As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a stir in the Imperial City, and many people were discussing who this generous powerful figure could be.

To meet once and directly give a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant.

There are very few figures who can afford such a grand gesture in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, he is very likely a powerful figure of the Venerable Realm.

This point was not wrong.

Wang Hancuo and the other two alone could not possibly produce a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant.

Only with the support of their backing forces could they do so.
