108 Silver Dragon Prince. (2/2)
The man stopped in front of an ornate door carved with the images of a Nine-Tailed Fox and a Green Dragon gazing at a distant moon. The man kneeled in front of the door and lowered is head, speaking out in a low voice.
”My prince, some of our spies have sent back an important report.”
This man was the spymaster of the man residing in this mansion, the Silver Dragon Prince of the Demon race. Unlike his brother, the Golden Dragon Prince, the Silver Dragon Prince seemingly had no interest in taking over as the ruler of the Demon race, he focused all his time on cultivation and gathering information. The Demon race didn't interact much with humans, they didn't even have that many scouts or spies in the human race. It was only after the Silver Dragon Prince started to grow up that the Demon race sent out more spies and gathered more information about the human race, all based on the orders of the Silver Dragon Prince. The spymaster didn't have to wait long for a response, the door swinging open of its own.
”You may enter.”
The room beyond the door was a very simple circular room, it only contained a single chair and a small table. Other than this chair and table, every other inch of the room was filled with books, only a small path from the door to the room free of books. Sitting in the chair was a handsome youth with a somewhat burly body and chiseled features, he had silver hair tied into a neat bun and piercing golden eyes filled with a tranquil pride. The Silver Dragon Prince put aside the book he was currently reading, looking at his spymaster while taking a sip from the jar of wine placed on the table next to the chair.
”Alright, Old Shisen, what have you got for me?”
The words of the Silver Dragon Prince were calm and casual, but just listening to them made it feel like they were digging into your very soul. The spymaster, Old Shisen, quickly stood up and entered the room, kneeling again in front of the chair and delivering his report.
”The spies we placed into the clans and sects have reported that the Ocean God's Graveyard has opened once more. Countless people have already flooded into it, some of our people among them.”
The Silver Dragon Prince gave a slight nod of his head, but he didn't seem too interested in the news. He knew about the Ocean God's Graveyard and how significant it was for it to open, but since they already had spies amongst the people that had entered the place, he didn't care too much about it. Old Shisen quickly continued his report, giving as many details as he could.
”The Puppet God sect tried to hide this information and keep it for themselves, but thanks to a girl from the Tian clan and a boy from the Yuan clan, the information was quickly spread. This is one of the stranger parts of the information. The girl is called Fang Ying, the princess of the Tian clan and the fiancee of Tian Zheng, and before sending out the news to everyone she could, she fled from Tian Zheng with another man, the other person who spread the news. The boy's name is Li Yang and our spies say he is from the Yuan clan, but he doesn't have any grand status in the clan, he didn't even get one of the guaranteed tokens to enter the competition, he won his in one of the smaller tournaments. According to the spies, the two fled practically as quickly as they met each other, one of the spies in the Tian clan even said that it looked like Fang Ying loved this boy.”
Old Shisen stopped talking and raised his head slightly, his eyes opening wide when he saw that the Silver Dragon Prince had crushed the cup he had been holding, the wine staining his silver robe. The Silver Dragon Prince looked at Old Shisen with a piercing gaze, quickly speaking.
”These two people, do you have a description of them? Any images? Anything?”
Old Shishen had never seen the Silver Dragon Prince this agitated, he had always been calm and cool, no one able to understand what was hiding behind his faint smile. He didn't dare waste any time, quickly taking out a jade orb and filling it with his Qi.
”We have an image of both of them, it was taken mere moments before the two of them fled from Tian Zheng and Xiong Xieren.”
The jade orb lit up, using Qi to draw an image in the air above it. The image showed Li Yang and Fang Ying right after killing Zi Yanwu, right after the people from the Tian clan and the Puppet God sect arrived. Clearly, one of the people in the two groups had been a spy for the Demon race and had used a special jade to capture the scenery in front of him. The Silver Dragon Prince looked at the image, his mouth twitching for a bit before he suddenly broke out into loud laughter.
”Hahaha! I knew it! I fucking knew it! Seems like it's time for things to get lively again now, eh?! That's three down, only three to go!”
The Silver Dragon Prince stood up from his seat, a wide smile covering his entire face. He completely ignored the stunned look on Old Shisen's face, storing the jug of wine on the table into his interspatial ring and stepping over the books to leave the room, waving for Old Shishen to follow him.
”Old Shishen, prepare our backchannels and do whatever it takes, I want to be part of that competition before this day is over!”
Old Shishen was even more stunned upon hearing this. The Silver Dragon Prince, who seemingly found conflict distasteful, was going to take part in the Huo clan competition? But Old Shishen could not go against the orders of his prince, he quickly nodded his head and got to work. The news quickly spread through the city, and before long, everyone knew that the Silver Dragon Prince, Zhao Feng, was on the move.
