Everyone knew how powerful Black Moon Tower was, so customers would rarely ask for too much.

Chu Tianming knew the rules of Black Moon Tower, and he also knew that Black Moon Tower valued reputation highly. If he did not take advantage of this opportunity, when would he ever have the opportunity to do so again?

Wan Chang wanted to be promoted, so this stain on his record had to be covered up and washed away.

Wan Chang had no choice but to act according to the rules of Black Moon Tower.

“Brother Chu, don’t worry. Zhang Kui won’t be allowed to live. Since the Chu family has entrusted Black Moon Tower with helping remove Zhang Kui, the Black Moon Tower will definitely help the Chu family get rid of him.”

Wan Chang said with a straight face.

Tasking them with killing Zhang Kui was not too much to ask in terms of compensation, so Wan Chang agreed to the request.

Zhang Kui was not weak, and he had the spatial escape pearl, so it was not easy to kill him.

Possessing the spatial escape pearl did not mean that he would necessarily be able to escape with his life. After activating it once, he would need to wait 15 minutes before he could activate it a second time.

As long as he caught up to Zhang Kui in time after the first activation of the spatial escape pearl, it would not be difficult to kill him.

Given the means available to Black Moon Tower, it would not be a problem to track and surround him within those 15 minutes.

“Then I’ll wait for the good news from Tower Lord Wan.”

Chu Tianming squinted his eyes and said.

Three days later…

“Where is he?”

“No, I don’t know.”

Wan Chang’s expression was unsightly.

Chu Tianming’s expression was strange. Had the intelligence gathering capabilities of Black Moon Tower deteriorated?

Could they not even find Zhang Kui’s whereabouts?

Even if he could not be killed, Black Moon Tower would at least be able to find him, right?

“Tower Lord Wan, are you toying with me?”

“Brother Chu, don’t misunderstand. I’ve already given the order to investigate. Regardless of life or death, we will obtain accurate information for you.”

Wan Chang had a helpless expression on his face.

He cursed inwardly. What was up with this b*stard Zhang Kui?

Did he really disappear into thin air?

Even if he died, the Black Moon Tower would still be able to obtain information of his death.

Someone who could kill Zhang Kui silently had to be at least at the second or third level of the unity realm.

Faced with a first-level unity realm expert, Zhang Kui would be able to struggle for a moment or two, so there would be a chance to activate the escape pearl.

Although escaping a hundred li may be insufficient to guarantee that his safe escape when faced with a strong opponent, but Black Moon Tower would at least be able to find out information if that had happened.

Anyone who could kill him without a trace had to be at least at the second level of the unity realm.

However, if Zhang Kui was vigilant enough, when faced with an impending crisis, he would have still made preparations to delay his demise and activate the pearl.

Therefore, if an expert was to Zhang Kui silently and directly, to the point that he would not have the chance to activate the spatial escape pearl, such an expert would have to be at least at the third level of the unity realm.

In the Qin Kingdom, there was only one expert at the third level of the unity realm and above.

He was an expert that belonged to Black Moon Tower and was in charge of the Qin Kingdom.

Was Zhang Kui dead or alive?

Wan Chang felt a headache coming on. What kind of nonsense was this? It seemed that ever since they had involved themselves in the matter between the Chu family and the cult, everything had started to go wrong for him.

“Tower Lord Wan, it has been three days and there has been no news at all. Should I be doubting the intelligence gathering capabilities of Black Moon Tower, or should I be doubting your ability?”

Chu Tianming was also puzzled. Could Zhang Kui actually avoid the detection of Black Moon Tower?

If that was really the case, Zhang Kui was a threat!

Wan Chang said with a dark face, “Brother Chu, don’t worry. The intelligence gathering capabilities of Black Moon Tower are unique. My ability is naturally not bad either!”

“Then I’ll wait another day.”

Wan Chang once again urged the person in charge of the intelligence department.

“Where is Zhang Kui? No matter whether he’s dead or alive, we must find an explanation!”

“I think there’s a high probability that Zhang Kui is dead!”

“Are you sure?”

“80% sure!”

“What if he’s not dead?”

“I’ll make sure again.”

A day later…

Wan Chang said with a straight face, “Brother Chu, according to reliable intelligence sources, Zhang Kui is dead!”

Chu Tianming was surprised.

“Are you sure? Who killed him?”

“The information from Black Moon Tower won’t be wrong. There’s a high chance that he was killed by an expert from the Qin Kingdom!”

Wan Chang said with a straight face.

There was a high chance that Zhang Kui was dead.

Even if he was not dead, as long as he appeared, Black Moon Tower would kill him immediately.

As such, in his eyes, the information from Black Moon Tower was not wrong.

If they said he was dead, he had to be dead.

Even if he was not dead yet, as long as he dared to show his face, he would then be killed.

Chu Tianming looked at him with suspicion.

“Regarding brother Chu’s purchase of the information, I can personally accept a mission from brother Chu as personal compensation. How about that?”

Wan Chang would provide compensation for the information that was wrong.

It was not included in the records of Black Moon Tower, but came from his own account.

In that case, Black Moon Tower’s information would not be considered wrong.

If Chu Tianming agreed, then Wan Chang would owe him a favor.

“Since brother Wan has said so, then I won’t pursue the matter. However, I want to entrust brother Wan with the task of investigating the whereabouts of my son Qiuluo.”

Chu Tianming said seriously.

This was why he had been adamantly following up on Zhang Kui’s matter.

Otherwise, he might as well have directly sold off Wan Chang’s favor. Would that not have been more profitable?

He wanted to use Black Moon Tower’s information gathering capabilities to investigate Chu Qiuluo’s whereabouts.

“No problem. I will use my personal identity to request Black Moon Tower to pay attention to this matter. Once there is any news, I will inform brother Chu immediately.”

Every Black Moon Tower Lord could send a request to Black Moon Tower’s intelligence network three times every ten years to investigate and track down the status of a person.

Wan Chang would use this benefit to help Chu Tianming find Chu Qiuluo’s whereabouts. It could be considered as making up for the mistake in the information provided previously.

“Thank you, Brother Wan!”

Chu Tianming cupped his hands.

..

“You stayed in seclusion and did not leave the courtyard. Thanks to your small actions, Black Moon Tower, who are known for their accurate information, made several errors in the provision of intelligence to their customers. You are rewarded with the divine replenishment technique and the truth mantra.”

Chu Xuan was lying on the reclining chair while reading a miscellaneous book in his hand.

The system’s reward had appeared out of the blue.

He was stunned. What did he do?

His actions resulted in Black Moon Tower’s information being false?

He immediately tried to recall the relevant information. Could it be related to Zhang Kui’s matter?

He deliberately gave Zhang Kui a concealing talisman to test Black Moon Tower.

It should be this exact action that caused Black Moon Tower to provide incorrect information about Zhang Kui.

Therefore, it could be concluded that Black Moon Tower was not omnipotent, and not all information could be found by them.

He had obtained the divine replenishment technique and the truth mantra.

The divine replenishment technique was a powerful secret technique that could repair one’s damaged soul.

It was an extremely powerful soul-type recovery technique.

Not only could it repair one’s own damaged soul, but it could also heal the damaged souls of others.

In terms of rank, it had already surpassed the level of the Great Luo Emperor scripture.

Above emperor-level scriptures were the heaven-level scriptures, and above the heaven-level scriptures were the divine ones.

This divine replenishing technique belonged to a class of secret techniques that were of the same level as other divine techniques.

The truth mantra was also a secret technique of the same level.

Forcing others to speak the truth was only a small part of this technique.

The true core of the technique was the ability to turn words into truth!

Truth from a single sentence!

It was a secret technique that pointed directly to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Given Chu Xuan’s current cultivation realm, even if he comprehended the truth mantra with the help of the system, he would still be able to reach the level of turning words into truth.

He would not be able to kill the enemy with a single word, break through all techniques with a single word, or even achieve the truth with a single word.

He could only use the technique in a way that made people spit out the truth.

Regardless, obtaining two secret techniques at once made Chu Xuan extremely happy. As expected, being in seclusion was the best, and there were also a lot of fun things to be discovered!

“You are in a happy mood. After comprehending the benefits of seclusion, and that there are all sorts of fun to be discovered within, you have received the reward of the seven-colored divine light.”

Another reward appeared.

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. Today was a good day. He had actually triggered a random reward from the system.
