Wild Dogs

Luo Changhe smiled as he looked at the Blood Demon Bead in front of him.

A moment later, the Blood Demon Orb fell to the other side of the scale, and then the scale, which had been tilted, was restored to balance.

"Hmm, the weight is about right. Looks like you put your heart into it."

The old man then waved his hand, sending the heart flying behind him, while the Blood Demon Pearl landed in front of Luo Changhe.

Luo Changhe grabbed the Blood Demon Pearl in his hand, then let out a long breath, as if sensing something.

At the same time, Xiao Ling could no longer bear it.

"Luo Changhe, you must give me a reasonable explanation today, or I will not allow it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe smiled.

"Look how impatient you are."

He shook his head again as he spoke.

At this moment, Luo Changhe looked serious, but his composure put Xiao Ling under immense pressure.

After so many years of marriage, she never imagined that her husband would be such an unpredictable person.

In her memory, her husband was an honest and simple man.

They obeyed his every word, and even when bullied by the maids, they dared not say a word.

When did my husband become like this?

Xiao Ling racked her brains, trying to find the moment when her husband would change.

But after thinking it over and over, all the men she could think of were actually her lovers.

As for her husband, I only had a vague impression of him from the sidelines.

What she still remembers is that honest, ordinary-looking, and unattractive man on their wedding night.

Xiao Ling was filled with immense panic.

There was no other reason than that she realized at this moment that she knew absolutely nothing about her husband.

"Changhe, we can discuss this when we get back. Don't do anything foolish."

Xiao Ling suddenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly spoke to Luo Changhe.

Luo Changhe laughed.

"Oh, my wife, what do you mean by that? How could I possibly do something foolish?"

He gently shook his head.

Are there any other deals?

The old man continued to ask those below.

At this moment, the old man's eyes were fixed on Yang Fan; Yang Fan was actually the one he liked the most.

Yang Fan successfully passed the test of the Nine Chapters Palace and obtained the complete jade pendant, which has earned his approval.

Among the many people who broke into the Heavenly Mystery Palace, the other cultivators focused on the various treasures.

No one cared about the mathematical tradition of the Tianji Palace.

After all, in their view, mathematics had no value whatsoever.

However, Tianji Palace specializes in mechanical puppets.

All of these things require mathematics to function.

Therefore, the Tianji Palace actually attaches great importance to mathematics.

Yang Fan was one of the few people who met his requirements over the years, so he desperately wanted Yang Fan to come forward and make a deal with him.

As soon as Yang Fan starts trading, he will induce Yang Fan to sign some kind of contract with him and officially become a disciple of Tianji Palace.

But to his surprise, Yang Fan hesitated to step forward at this point.

Are you kidding me?

Yang Fan didn't dare to come out at all, fearing that Xiao Ling would harm him.

Just then, Luo Changhe stepped forward again.

"Hey, I'd like to trade some information."

He then took out a jade slip.

"I have a map of the recent mountains and terrain here. I'd like to use it to trade for information. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

He threw the intelligence report up there.

After receiving the jade slip, the old man examined it and then placed it on the scales.

"Alright, what information do you want to trade?"

Luo Changhe took a deep breath.

"I wish to trade the secrets of the Heavenly Mystery Palace."

"I want to know where Tianji Palace's lineage is, what its origins are, and how to enter the inner palace."

Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Luo Changhe with a strange expression.

He then took a deep breath, took out a blank jade slip, pressed it against his forehead, and entered some information into it.

He then tossed the jade slip to the other side of the scale, and after a moment the scale was balanced again.

"Hmm, it seems these two pieces of information are equivalent. Here, take the item."

With that, he handed the jade slip to Luo Changhe.

Seeing that Luo Changhe was about to grab the jade slip, Xiao Ling was furious.

"Luo Changhe, I need to know this information too."

She asked eagerly.

"And you must hand over your Blood Demon Orb as well."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe smiled lightly, then crushed the jade slip in his hand.

A moment later, a voice came from the jade slip; it was the old man's voice.

Within this jade slip, the old man's voice continuously recounted the origins of the entire Heavenly Mystery Palace.

After listening for a while, Yang Fan finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the Tianji Palace originated from the Beiyuan Tianji Palace.

The founder of Tianji Palace was a direct disciple of Tianji Palace. Many years ago, this founder defected from Tianji Palace with his belongings and settled here.

To distinguish himself from Tianji Palace, he named the faction he created Tianji Palace.

The text then goes on to describe in detail the inner palace of the Tianji Palace.

The Tianji Palace here does indeed have a hidden inner palace, but to open the inner palace, in addition to Tian Shu, you also need Tian Ji Ling.

It was not the Heavenly Secret Order from the Heavenly Secret Palace, but the Heavenly Pivot Order from the Northern Plains Heavenly Pivot Palace.

When the founder of Tianji Palace defected from Tianji Palace in Beiyuan, he took with him the Tianji Token, which belonged to his personal disciples.

After arriving here, he copied the Tianji Token and made a batch of Tianji Tokens to serve as tokens for the elders of the Tianji Palace.

As for the ordinary disciples, they used ordinary Heavenly Secret Tokens.

However, the development of Tianji Palace's power clearly exceeded the imagination of that ancestor.

In later developments, the power of the Tianji Palace here even surpassed that of the Tianji Palace in the Northern Plains.

However, at their peak, the Heavenly Mystery Palace became arrogant and attempted to force their way into the Immortal Tomb using their powerful influence.

As a result, their powerful fighting force was completely wiped out.

In order to protect themselves, the remaining disciples either scattered like birds and beasts or tried to escape in all directions.

As for the secrets that happened later, the jade slip did not mention them, but it is clear that things were not that simple.

However, the map information provided by Luo Changhe was limited, and this was all the intelligence that could be traded.

However, this was enough for Luo Changhe.

At this moment, he nodded repeatedly, as if he was thinking about something.

After learning about the origins of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, Yang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Fan glanced at Luo Changhe, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.

The reason Luo Changhe asked so many questions was probably not because he really wanted to know the origin of Tianji Palace, but simply to buy time.

There was no other reason than that Yang Fan had already sensed a wisp of black energy continuously spreading upwards along Luo Changhe's body.

It was obvious that Luo Changhe was trying to absorb the black aura from the Blood Demon Pearl.

The thought startled Yang Fan.

Luo Changhe clearly noticed Yang Fan's gaze, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he had no problem.
