Chapter 1384 Rather than passive defense, it's better to take the initiative.

Su Fan lay low in Shenshui Immortal City for several days, and every morning he would wander around the market under the pretext of purchasing pills.

The market was filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, and the noisy haggling among the cultivators was no different from usual. Clearly, the news of the destruction of the "Blood-Clad Tower" had not yet spread, and nothing earth-shattering had happened.

Moreover, the star field they are currently in is already beyond the control of that powerful force; no matter how long their reach is, it cannot extend here.

These days, Su Fan appears to be living a carefree life, but in reality, something is always on his mind.

That is, they are waiting for news from Chief Steward Yusheng, hoping to make use of the intelligence network and logistical connections that "Blood-Clad Tower" has cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

Finally, on the evening of the seventh day, as the golden rays of the setting sun pierced through the inn's windowpanes, cutting the ground into fragments of light and shadow, Steward Yuzuru gently knocked on the door and entered.

"My lord, the remaining resources of the 'Blood-Clad Tower' headquarters have been inventoried, and the contact information for intelligence points in various locations has been clarified..."

He bowed and handed over a lustrous jade talisman, its surface shimmering with faint blood-red patterns.

"Your subordinate spent three days cracking the headquarters' encrypted communication technology. Now, with this jade talisman, we can directly mobilize all intelligence and logistical personnel outside the organization..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan immediately felt wide awake.

He ran his fingertips over the cool jade talisman, then handed it back.

"I'll leave this to you. From now on, you'll be in charge of contacting the intelligence and logistics personnel of the 'Blood-Clad Tower'..."

Chief Steward Yusheng accepted the jade token and nodded.

"Please rest assured, my lord, this old servant will certainly not let you down..."

"Explain the specific operating methods..."

"The organization's peripheral members don't know each other; they only recognize jade talismans for communication and specific passwords..." Steward Yu explained. "Shops in some immortal cities, long-distance starship fleets—many seemingly ordinary outposts are actually 'Blood-Clad Tower's' eyes and ears, capable of providing supplies and transmitting messages at any time..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and frowned.

“My lord, in the past few days I have been browsing the secret files of the ‘Blood-Clad Tower’ and discovered that the Celestial Race has contacted the ‘Blood-Clad Tower’ several times…”

"You mean, these guys are still up to no good..."

Chief Steward Yusheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Once the Celestial Race learns of the destruction of the 'Blood-Clad Tower,' they will definitely contact other assassin organizations..."

Hearing what the other person said, Su Fan couldn't help but sigh.

There was no way around it; he had already forged an irreconcilable blood feud with the Celestial Race. If they knew that the "Blood Robe Tower" had been destroyed, they certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Would the top-tier assassin organizations in the wider world accept their employment...?"

"As far as I know, top-tier assassin organizations have no shortage of business in the Great World. In fact, they often have so much business that they can choose their employers. Only low-level assassin organizations like the 'Blood-Clad Tower' would accept missions to travel to smaller worlds..."

The Celestial Race of the Great World wouldn't dare send anyone to hunt him down, but they would definitely keep hiring assassin organizations to cause him trouble.

Who can blame them for having money? Those third-rate assassin organizations in the big world definitely can't resist the temptation of high commissions.

Su Fan can't possibly guard against thieves every night, or he'd be living a miserable life.

Instead of passively defending, it's better to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yusheng, take a look at which Celestial Race they are, and see which 'Blood-Clad Tower' they hired..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Steward Yu Sheng hurriedly took out a jade slip from his storage ring and placed it on his forehead.

After a while, he put the jade slip down. "This old servant has just checked, and the people who hired the 'Blood Robe Tower' all come from the 'Divine Firmament Heaven'..."

How far is Shenxiao Heaven from here...?

Upon hearing Su Fan's question, Manager Yusheng was immediately stunned.

What does the master mean? He doesn't want to go to "Shenxiao Heaven," does he? That's the largest plane of the Celestial Race in "Taihao Immortal Realm."

Yu Sheng, the head steward, looked troubled: "We need to cross three star regions. Even if we use the teleportation array the whole way, it will still take about three months. Moreover, 'Shenxiao Heaven' is one of the core planes of the Celestial Race in the Taihao Immortal Realm, and its defenses are extremely strong..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Fan interrupted him.

"We'll go no matter how far. Since we can't avoid it, we might as well uproot it completely."

We've already gone through so much trouble, a few more months won't make a difference.

"Please help me plan a route to 'Shenxiaotian' in the Qiyun Starfield. I hope you can make the arrangements properly..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's solemn words, Steward Yu Sheng immediately bowed deeply in respect.

"Rest assured, my lord, this old servant will arrange everything perfectly for you..."

He used to be the head of the "Blood-Clad Tower" hunting squad, so his organizational skills are undoubtedly excellent.

Moreover, he used to lead teams to hunt targets in various places, so he was very familiar with the operation mode of "Blood-Clad Tower".

Drawing on his past experience in leading the hunt at the "Blood-Clad Tower," Chief Steward Yusheng devised an extremely secretive route in just one day.

Avoiding the star fields controlled by the Celestial Race, they took special routes through the border areas where cultivators rarely traveled, and along the way they could rest at the secret strongholds of the "Blood Robe Tower".

For the next three months, Steward Yusheng, disguised as a cultivator of the Demonic Sect's Zombie Path, constantly traveled between the teleportation arrays of various immortal cities.

He traveled among the numerous teleportation arrays. At each location, Chief Steward Yu would contact the local intelligence point in advance, exchange tokens using a secret code, and then obtain clean identity documents and supplies.

At midnight, Steward Yusheng, disguised as a zombie cultivator from the Demonic Sect, emerged from the teleportation hall of a celestial city.

He arrived at an inconspicuous inn in the city, which became a lodging for the "Blood-Clad Tower".

After showing the token, Steward Yusheng was led to an upper room, where the other party quietly left behind a jade slip.

He pushed open the door and entered the guest room, taking out the jade slip and placing it on his forehead.

After a while, Steward Yusheng put the jade slip down.

The contents of this jade slip are the smuggling route to "Shenxiaotian" provided to him by the "Blood-Clad Tower" intelligence agency in the Qiyun Star Region, and they have already helped him contact a smuggling flying boat.

Because "Shenxiao Heaven" is a plane controlled by the Celestial Race, they are closed off from the world and do not welcome cultivators from other planes at all.

The only way to get to "Shenxiaotian" is to smuggle a flying boat in.

Yu Sheng put away the jade slip, and then flashed into his personal secret realm.

He went to the thatched hut where Su Fan usually lived and presented the jade slip with both hands.

Su Fan took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead.

After a while, he put down the jade slip and returned it to Steward Yusheng.

"Hmm... well done..."
