Chapter 1839: Chapter 1838: Plotting (Fourth Update)

"Does the Luanxing Sect have a Sky Blue Xuan Fruit?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"No! But the Luanxing Sect has the Sky Blue Divine Pool, which is a hundred times more effective than the Sky Blue Xuan Fruit. However, the conditions to enter the Sky Blue Divine Pool are extremely stringent! First, one must be a True Disciple of the Luanxing Sect, and then participate in the sect’s annual competition! Only the top ten of the younger generation can enter the Sky Blue Divine Pool!" Man Niu explained.

"What if both the Sky Blue Xuan Fruit and Sky Blue Divine Pool are used together?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.

"That I don’t know, after all, it’s their secret. I’m not too clear about the effects as an outsider." Man Niu said.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Sir, right, in three months, the Luanxing Sect’s Sky Blue Divine Pool will open, and the sect competition will be held then!" Man Niu suddenly remembered something and quickly said.

"You are considerate." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Sir, you must be unfamiliar with Luanxing City since you just arrived. I have a complete map of Luanxing City here, which might be useful to you." Man Niu said.

With that, he tapped the storage bag at his waist with one hand and took out a map, handing it over.

"You are considerate." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Sir, do you have any other questions? If not, I’ll be going back first." Man Niu said.

"Do not tell anyone about today’s matter!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Please rest assured, sir. I will not tell anyone about today’s matter! Even if I were to die, I wouldn’t reveal anything!" Man Niu said seriously.

"This is for you." With that, Zhang Xiaohao tossed over a storage bag.

"Thank you for your reward, sir!" Man Niu clasped his hands in gratitude, took the storage bag, and then walked out.

After he left, Zixin furrowed her eyebrows and said.

"With our strength, if we aim for the Sky Blue Xuan Fruit and Heavenly Pond Divine Pond, they wouldn’t be able to stop us!"

"You’re wrong! External objects are still external objects! To go further, you cannot be too reliant on them!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Zixin’s words, which was merely to have Hei Wuchang take action, then use thunderous means to resolve it.

This approach, while simple, isn’t what Zhang Xiaohao wanted.

If, each time trouble arises, Hei Wuchang is called to act, all troubles would indeed be solved, but it could leave a shadow in the heart which can be very fatal when in dire straits.

Therefore, in recent days, unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Xiaohao wouldn’t have Hei Wuchang take action.

Furthermore, with Zhang Xiaohao’s current skill in Divine Skills, though he is not their match head-on, he can silently infiltrate the City Lord Mansion or Luanxing Sect undetected, even by Mahayana Realm masters, unless he encounters someone who practices the Reincarnation Law.

But the Reincarnation Law is one of the three Supreme Laws, as difficult as ascending the heavens. The odds are one in millions, how could it appear here?

"What are you planning to do?" Zixin asked.

"I will handle this personally. During this period, you should enter the Dragon Pattern Space. I will call you out when I need you." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hmm." Zixin nodded.

Her figure flashed and transformed into a golden light, entering Zhang Xiaohao’s right arm.

"Sky Blue Xuan Fruit? Sky Blue Divine Pool? No matter who, no one can stop Zhang Xiaohao from obtaining you!" Zhang Xiaohao declared with towering ambition.

He unfolded the map Man Niu gave him, carefully studying and memorizing every location on it.

It must be said, Luanxing City is really large. It took Zhang Xiaohao a whole half-hour to memorize all the buildings on it.

"It’s time to act." Zhang Xiaohao murmured to himself.

With that, he stood up from the chair and walked outside.

Upon leaving the tavern, Zhang Xiaohao headed directly towards the City Lord Mansion as per the map’s directions.

On the other side.

In an ordinary large courtyard, with over a hundred rooms, located in the slum area. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Brother Niu, are you back?"

"Ah! Brother Niu, you’re okay, that’s great news."

"Brother Niu, you scared us!"

Seeing Man Niu return, a group of people anxiously waiting in the yard quickly approached excitedly.

"You all! You judge me with a villain’s heart! If that lord had bad intentions as you thought, he would have left us in the wilderness, would he have allowed us to return alive?" Man Niu said in exasperation.

"Brother Niu, what did that lord call you over for?"

"That lord saw our camaraderie among brothers, wanted to invite us for a drink, but had other important matters to attend to, so he left first, leaving me to bring back delicious food from Piaoxiang Building for all of you." Man Niu said with a smile.

With a flip of his hand, he took out a storage bag, and placed the delicacies and Spiritual Wine on the table.

After eating, Man Niu returned to his room, took out the storage bag Zhang Xiaohao had given him last, and with a flip of his hand, retrieved its contents.

Inside was only one item, a purple jade box.

Curious and slightly excited, Man Niu opened the purple jade box.

"Hmm? Sky Carrying Nine Transmutations?" Man Niu was taken aback.

He picked up the Sky Carrying Nine Transmutations and started to read it, growing more excited as he read.

An hour later, Man Niu carefully put away the Sky Carrying Nine Transmutations, then knelt toward Zhang Xiaohao’s direction, earnestly knocking his head on the ground three times.

On the other side.

Zhang Xiaohao was already a thousand feet away from the City Lord Mansion, standing in a corner, observing the grand and majestic City Lord Palace in front of him, his eyes flashing with consideration.

Then, Zhang Xiaohao turned and entered a small alley, and a moment later, emerged transformed into a high elder with an ethereal presence and white hair.

With a fan in his left hand, bearing a white banner inscribed with the words "Flawless Strategy," in his right hand, he held an earthen-hued turtle shell. This turtle shell was from the Heavenly Turtle he once caught and slaughtered when fishing before entering the Ancient Battlefield.

Zhang Xiaohao swayed with an Immortal Step, heading toward the City Lord Mansion.

When he was a hundred steps away from the City Lord Mansion, Zhang Xiaohao stopped, knowing that if he went any further, the guards would drive him away.

With that, Zhang Xiaohao planted the flagpole into the ground and sat down cross-legged.
