414: Dongfang Lie
"Nether Prison?!! That assassin organization that suddenly appeared over a hundred years ago, the one that dares to kill anyone and accept any mission as long as the money is enough?" Zhu Deqin said in shock.
"Correct! Find Night Hawk and have him find someone else to place an order there to wipe out all the high-quality immortal seedlings from those three branches who joined Xuanji Tower!" Prince Ding said coldly.
Zhu Deqin gasped inwardly, but he did not speak out to refute, instead saying: "Will we offend Xuanji Tower by doing this?"
"It is Nether Prison that will offend Xuanji Tower! As long as Nether Prison dares to accept this mission, it means they are not afraid of Xuanji Tower. The times have changed, and there are always things in this world that we don't know about. Perhaps Xuanji Tower and the Sect behind it are just one of the many beings in the Cultivation World! Let them fight it out themselves..." Prince Ding said.
"I'm afraid the cost will be high..."
"Nether Prison always quotes a flat fee! As long as we can afford it, there is no need to haggle. Do you understand?" Prince Ding snorted.
"I understand!" Zhu Deqin shuddered and quickly replied.
"There is one more thing! In a week, we will make a deal with Speaker Miller of the Snow Eagle Country..." Prince Ding explained the details of this deal to Zhu Deqin in detail, making Zhu Deqin's eyes gleam with excitement and his confidence soar!
He sighed in his heart that he was still not as cunning as his father. These two cards were played well; one was to destroy the future hope of his competitors, and the other was to strengthen his own power. With this back and forth, the strength of his branch would immediately skyrocket. If he added the capture of the conspiracy between Shadow Moon Hall and Prince Rui, his branch would not only be able to recover the losses from the attack on Dingyuan City but could also turn around and suppress the other branches!
Thinking of the one hundred sets of mechas about to be in his hands, as well as those high-grade genetic potions, Zhu Deqin's heart was incomparably hot. Perhaps he could use those high-grade genetic potions to Breakthrough to a Martial General? Or could he go further? After putting on the mecha, could he contend against a Martial Commander expert?
He scurried away quickly, while Prince Ding also exhaled a turbid breath. It was time to deal with those women from Shadow Moon Hall, and he quickly flashed away and disappeared...
What he didn't know was that just in the eastern military camp of Dingyuan City, the main general, Dongfang Lie, was staring at a small light screen without blinking, and the scene playing on the screen was exactly the secret conversation between him and Zhu Deqin just now!
Seeing that Prince Ding had also left, Dongfang Lie stopped the light screen, let out a sigh of relief, quickly organized the video, and then sent it out through a special channel!
The next moment, Prince Rui, who was far away in the Crown Prince's Palace in Shuntian Prefecture, received the secret letter. He clicked it open, his spirits were immediately lifted, and he began to watch it carefully...
After a while, a cold look appeared on Prince Rui's face, and he murmured with a smile: "No matter how cunning you are, you still have to drink this Crown Prince's foot-washing water! But this fifth brother is not too stupid; he actually suspected me! And Miller, he actually revealed the relationship between me and Shadow Moon Hall to him. But can the fifth brother produce evidence? Without evidence, what can he do to this Crown Prince? Who doesn't have a few dirty deeds on their hands? Hmph, he wants to trade with Miller and get one hundred sets of mechas and high-grade genetic potions. We must get on-site evidence of this transaction. In addition, he wants to place an order with Nether Prison to assassinate the high-quality immortal seedlings from those three branches. This is already a naked fact of attacking blood relatives, even worse than his previous attack on Prince Fus Mansion!"
He thought for a moment and immediately gave an order to Dongfang Lie, while also expressing appreciation for his loyalty. As for the reward for this merit, someone would immediately send it to his home in Shuntian Prefecture...
Dongfang Lie destroyed the letter immediately after receiving it, a smile appearing on his face. This merit was really easy and comfortable to earn. The miniature surveillance equipment from Snow Eagle Country was really useful; even Prince Ding and his son couldn't detect it. It was a pity there was only one set, otherwise, wouldn't his merits be endless?
Fortunately, he was playing both sides; he had just sent a copy to Prince Gong, and Prince Gong's response speed was even a bit faster than Prince Rui's. It could be said that Dongfang Lie was already well-fed just by relying on this set of miniature surveillance equipment...
However, he soon felt a headache for the next task. It was not easy to get on-site evidence of the transaction because there was only one set of surveillance equipment, but he still didn't know the transaction location of both parties, so this set of surveillance equipment was estimated to be useless. How could he get information about the transaction site?
"Actually, there are two methods. One is to participate in person, and the second is to secretly track Zhu Deqin's movements..." Dongfang Lie thought about it and could only think of these two methods. Fortunately, his relationship with Zhu Deqin was good, and through his consistent deliberate acting, he was still a loyal family general uncle in Zhu Deqin's eyes. As long as he played this emotional card well, nothing could stump him...
Just as he was thinking, the phone rang. He saw it was Zhu Deqin and quickly answered: "Xiao Qin, what does my nephew need from me?"
"Uncle Dongfang, there is something recently that I need your help with. Come to my tent quickly to discuss it!" Zhu Deqin's voice came over.
"Alright! Uncle is coming right away!!!" Dongfang Lie was overjoyed and immediately replied.
Soon he left the eastern military camp and headed towards the central army with several trusted aides...
Sinkhole Base, City of the Future, Spiritual Vein Dojo.
A figure flashed, and Long Yuan appeared in his room. His face showed slight fatigue, but his expression was quite excited. After nearly two months of Cultivate in the Heavenly Dao Space, he had mastered the Breath Concealment Technique, a minor immortal art. It was not just an entry level, but had reached the Minor Achievement stage!
He believed that with his current stealth ability, he could freely enter and exit Xuanji Tower without being discovered. It was time to start acting!
With a thought, he closed his eyes and habitually accessed the Heavenly Eye information to browse...
"Sabado is already on his way to Prince Fus Mansion... That court meeting in Shuntian Prefecture had quite a dangerous situation with weapons drawn. Fu Changqing's move to use Xuanji Tower as a shield was not bad; turning the tide and propping up a collapsing building, it could be considered saving Prince Ding's life. However, he didn't expect that the actions of their Prince Ding's branch had already been monitored by Prince Gong... Prince Gong is actually a dual Spiritual Root, and he even sent Chu Changfeng to Prince Fus Mansion to discuss an alliance. This Prince Gong has silently grasped the initiative... Eh, Dingyuan City! Information on Dingyuan City can also be seen now..."
Long Yuan discovered that Dingyuan City in the northwest had also fallen into the monitoring range of the Heavenly Eye. Countless pieces of information were pouring in. He browsed through them quickly, and after a while, a strange look appeared on his face!
"Nether Prison? Dongfang Lie playing both sides? One hundred sets of mechas? A large batch of high-grade genetic potions? Very good, this is truly 'all that searching and here it is without any effort'..."
