Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 328 - 186: Former Dynasty General’s Mansion, Critical Intelligence, World Suppression Bureau’s Motive (2)
"Remember to refine the Demon-Extinguishing Pearls properly after taking them back. We’ll head into the Demon Realm at noon tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, then let’s adjourn."
Shangguan Feng waved his hand.
They needed to discuss matters internally within the Shangguan Family.
After Fu Changsheng left, he entered his own tent, rotated the Demon Pearl in his hand, and took a closer look. According to Shangguan Feng, the Demon-Extinguishing Pearl given by the World Suppression Bureau could block the invasion of Demonic Qi into the body once inside the Demon Realm, making it a rare treasure.
How generous of the World Suppression Bureau.
To provide so many Demon-Extinguishing Pearls at once.
Considering this.
The World Suppression Bureau must have been planning this for a long time, leading him to suspect the real purpose of this mission into the Demon Realm:
"If it’s just to reinforce the barrier, there’s no need for they to go through so much trouble."
In a flash of thought.
Fu Changsheng recalled the intelligence mentioning the Cave Mansion of a former general:
"Could it be....."
Is the World Suppression Bureau here for the relic of the former General’s Mansion?
If that’s the case.
Then everything made sense.
And giving each person a Demon-Extinguishing Pearl is probably not just for blocking Demonic Qi. It likely also serves to track their location:
"It seems even the World Suppression Bureau isn’t aware of the location of this relic."
Fu Changsheng quickly transmitted a message to Fu Molan and Yu Qingru. The two of them, initially intending to refine their Demon-Extinguishing Pearls, exchanged a glance. Although they didn’t understand why Fu Changsheng stopped them, they obediently put their Pearls into their storage bags and meditated restfully.
The next day at noon.
Everyone gathered before the barrier.
Each Eighth-Grade Noble Family from South Huai Prefecture sent out a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator, with four people led by Cao Xiang’er. With a flip of her right hand, she and three others revealed a Jade Talisman, injecting techniques into them, producing a buzz as the five Talismans merged mid-air into a Jade Seal.
The Jade Seal boomed as it entered the barrier.
Rumble.
The ground trembled.
And then.
Ripples emerged within the barrier.
Cao Xiang’er shouted:
"Enter the array quickly."
Led by the Eighth-Grade Noble Family.
Over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the barrier, disappearing in a flash.
Fu Changsheng felt a blur before his eyes, and in the next instant, he appeared in a gray world, evidently corroded by Demonic Qi, devoid of any trace of it.
According to the tasks assigned by the Shangguan Family.
They were in charge of the five Demon Race towns located at the tail of the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.
The three quickly distanced themselves from the other cultivators. With a flip of Fu Changsheng’s wrist, the Demon-Extinguishing Pearl immediately appeared in his palm, and he transmitted a message to Molan:
"Molan, use the Puppet Beast to take the Demon-Extinguishing Pearl underground."
No matter the ultimate goal of the World Suppression Bureau.
Fu Changsheng didn’t want his whereabouts known by them.
Fu Molan nodded slightly, tapped her storage bag, and a flash of Dawn Light appeared, bringing forth the Earth Shadow Turtle Puppet Beast onto the ground. It opened its mouth to swallow the Demon-Extinguishing Pearls of Fu Changsheng, herself, and Yu Qingru, and in a flash of yellow light, vanished underground leisurely.
Without the Demon-Extinguishing Pearls.
The surrounding Demonic Qi buzzed and surged in instantly.
Fu Changsheng snorted coldly, pointing at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower floating before him, from which the Blood Demon Sword emerged, attached and consuming Demonic Qi in the second level, by the Spirit-devouring Insect.
The Blood Demon Sword hovered above the three of them.
With a technique from Fu Changsheng, the sword trembled, releasing threads of black Sword Qi, forming a Protective Light Shield that swallowed up all the Demonic Qi trying to invade.
Meanwhile.
Fu Changsheng focused on the panel.
Immediately, he said decisively:
"Exchange for intelligence"
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
A surge of yellow light poured out.
And lines of text emerged:
[1: Ten miles from you is Ox Demon Head Town, guarded by a Tier Two Late Stage Demon General. Ox Demon Head Town is rich in Glazed Gauze, which is excellent spiritual material for crafting the Invisibility Cloak]
[2: Ping Xinghai and the Cao Family, Hee Family teamed up. Due to differences, Ping Xinghai left the team alone, and three days later discovered the entrance to the former General’s Mansion relic in a town called Cloud Mulberry Field. After much research, unable to break the array, he successfully entered the relic with a message to Cao Xiang’er, gaining great fortune. Upon returning from the Demon Realm, under his leadership, the Ping Family rose to Eighth-Grade Noble Family status within twenty years]
[3: ...]
...
A total of ten pieces of intelligence were exchanged.
However, the subsequent information wasn’t very significant.
Fu Changsheng’s gaze focused on the second piece of information, his eyes brightened:
"Indeed, the World Suppression Bureau came for the former General’s Mansion."
Even though he had already vaguely guessed before.
He couldn’t help feeling excited.
After all, it was the former General’s Mansion.
If he could obtain the secrets of the Purple Mansion from it, it would be wonderful.
Compared to this hidden treasure.
Court Merit Points are insignificant.
After all, there are many ways to gain Merit Points.
Such an opportunity.
He naturally wouldn’t miss it lightly:
"I must arrive before Ping Xinghai reaches Cloud Mulberry Field Town."
Having obtained the intelligence.
Ping Xinghai won’t have this chance this time.
If he remembered correctly, the Ping Clan Leader was severely injured, unable to fight again. This time, if Ping Xinghai is killed in the Demon Realm, they can let the insider, who infiltrated the Ping Family, open the array to take it down in one go.
Fu Changsheng reviewed the second piece of intelligence again, memorized Cloud Mulberry Field Town, and with a flick of his sleeve, Dawn Light flashed, revealing the Demon Realm Terrain Map privately gifted by Shangguan Feng. It unfolded slowly, clearer than the map shown at the conference, with each town’s name marked clearly.
