Chapter 458 - 251 Official Information_2
There weren’t many items on this shelf, each locked in a metal box, making it impossible to see what was inside.
The old man took out a key and opened one of the boxes, revealing a red stone the size of an adult’s skull inside.
The stone seemed as if it had just been taken out of a fire. As soon as the metal box was opened, a scorching heat wave rushed at them, and the temperature in the treasure vault rose dramatically in an instant.
“This is the Sun Essence Stone!” Su Nan was amazed. Even at a glance, he could tell it was extraordinary.
Su Nan secretly noted the location of the stone.
After saying goodbye to the old man, he left the Demon Hunting Bureau.
Having identified the location of the item, he decided not to rush to exchange it immediately.
After some thought, Su Nan found a secluded place, transformed into Wang Nan, and headed towards Piaoxiang Pavilion.
He was going to meet some people from the Official side.
“Have you heard? Just now, Great Master Qian Yu killed a Xuan-level Demon by himself outside Xunjiang Town!”
“Really? Apart from Wang Nan, Zhang Yang, and Lang Thirteen, is there anyone else who can kill Xuan-level demons? Qian Yu may be ranked fourth, but he only merged with his Fourth Spirit-level Bloodline today. How could he possibly kill a Xuan-level Demon by himself?”
“Of course it’s true! But, the big demon Great Master Qian Yu killed was severely wounded in a mission not long ago.”
” I heard that the reason why Great Master Qian Yu has become so strong is that he managed to gather 6,000 contribution points at the end of the mission, exchanged them for some Ancient Demon Blood, and obtained a racial talent after the fusion!”
“So that’s how it is! The rumors say that racial talents are very powerful, but compared to ancient scriptures and divine techniques, they might still fall short. Wang Nan and Zhang Yang can hold their ground against King-level Demonic Beasts for a minute. Great Master Qian Yu still has a long way to catch up with them.”
Piaoxiang Pavilion was a very famous restaurant in Imperial City, with dozens of meters high and as many as five or six floors, making it a huge establishment.
Since the players had gathered at Zhongtian County, this place had been taken over by many players and became the place where they would gather daily to chat and brag.
Here, one could learn about the hottest events in the game almost instantly.
Meanwhile, in a private room on the fourth floor of the Piaoxiang Pavilion, several men and women were overlooking the pedestrians on the street below.
If Su Nan were here, he would recognize several of them.
The leader was a short-haired man with a square face.
Yang Zheng, currently the top player in the game working for the Official side.
Among the women by his side, one of them was Xu Yulan, whom he had encountered not long ago and ranked among the top thirty.
Next to her was a short-haired woman who had been the team leader of the Official team that Su Nan had met when he first left Sky Wolf Valley. She had even tried to recruit Su Nan into the Official side.
Xu Yulan asked, “Do you think he will come?”
Yang Zheng shook his head, “Hard to say. He’s elusive like a dragon’s head, and it’s even uncertain if he will see our invitation, let alone whether he will come or not.”
Hearing this, they all fell silent.
Just then, suddenly, a commotion came from the street below:
“Wang Nan!”
“Deity Wang Nan is here!”
Excited shouts from the players rose, and the previously orderly street instantly became chaotic.
Yang Zheng and the others immediately looked toward the direction from which the sound was coming. Sure enough, they saw Wang Nan being surrounded by many players, walking toward Piaoxiang Pavilion.
“He actually came!”
They looked at each other in surprise and delight.
A moment later.
Still in that private room on the fourth floor, Su Nan sat across from Yang Zheng and his group.
“What’s the matter with you guys looking for me?” Su Nan went straight to the point.
There was no need to worry about eavesdropping, as the soundproofing in this room was excellent.
“Brother Wang Nan, you should know that the people from the Destiny Society have never stopped looking for you,” Yang Zheng started off with the mention of the Destiny Society.
Obviously, he knew very well that the only thing that Su Nan would care about was the Destiny Society.
Su Nan remained silent and looked calmly at Yang Zheng, waiting for him to continue.
Yang Zheng went on to say, “Previously, because your strength was too great and the Destiny Society couldn’t fully utilize their strength in reality, they haven’t dared to confront you after you killed a large number of their members last time.”
“However, their real strength is far beyond what they showed. Not only have they cultivated their bloodlines, but they have also practiced ancient scriptures and even possess an even more powerful, mysterious, and unpredictable ability.”
“During this public beta test, there will be spatial channels appearing. According to the information we have received, there will not only be a channel connecting our world to the Demon World, but there will be another channel connecting us to the world where the Destiny Society resides. By then, more powerful beings from the Destiny Society will descend.”
“This time, their target is not the real world but the Demon World. They intend to use the channel between reality and the Demon World to enter the Demon World. Once they enter the Demon World, they can unleash their full strength.”
“Their main purpose for entering the Demon World is for you. Since they can’t do anything to you in reality, they want to confront you in the Demon World.” Yang Zheng looked at Su Nan, paying attention to Su Nan’s facial expressions.
Unfortunately, Su Nan’s face remained calm, showing no surprise at this information.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, “If you’re willing, we can cooperate with each other and help you deal with those people from the Destiny Society.” Help me? Relying on those Night Patrol folks?”
Su Nan was not surprised by Yang Zheng’s information.
However, he was not worried. Not to mention whether the people of the Destiny Society can successfully pass through the spatial channel, even if they can, the strongest one among them can only reach the Early King Rank.
Now, with his own strength, he can already contend against those at the Early King Rank, not to mention the Great Princess who’s constantly recovering.
He doesn’t need to cooperate with anyone.
What’s more, he has no trust in the Night Patrol.
Although the Night Patrol and the Destiny Society are adversaries, if given the chance, the Night Patrol would undoubtedly try every means to obtain the bracelet in his hand, just like the Destiny Society.
Cooperating with the Night Patrol is tantamount to seeking a tiger’s skin.
Even if it’s uncertain who the tiger is at the moment, Su Nan doesn’t want to have too many dealings with the Night Patrol; otherwise, he might be sold out one day without even realizing it.
Seeing Su Nan’s intention, Yang Zheng did not give up.
He was silent for a moment before saying, “Brother Wang Nan, Jiang Wen told you in the past that the Destiny Society is the descendant of the Heavenly Race. Do you know what kind of existence the Heavenly Race once was?”
“The abilities they possess are beyond our imagination, extremely mysterious. Once they enter the game world, it’s very likely that they may pose a huge threat to you.”
Hearing this, Su Nan could easily see Yang Zheng’s intention.
Yang Zheng wanted him to acknowledge the strength of the Heavenly Race and cooperate with him.
If he had not entered the Divine Ruins before, he might have been cautious about the abilities possessed by the Heavenly Race.
However, now, Yang Zheng’s scheme is doomed to fail.
Su Nan said indifferently, “The Heavenly Race is indeed powerful. They can manipulate destiny, and even the ancient human race once suffered great losses in their hands, but that is the Heavenly Race of the past.”
“You know about the Heavenly Race’s abilities?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zheng and the others were all astonished and looked incredulously at Su Nan.
This information was top-secret; even they had learned of it not long ago. They couldn’t understand how Su Nan knew about it.
Su Nan continued, “The people of the Destiny Society are just the products created by the Heavenly Race in the past, in order to gain the recognition of the forces of heaven and earth in this world. In my opinion, compared to the Heavenly Race, they are far inferior.”
“The Destiny Society is a product created by the Heavenly Race?” Yang Zheng and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with amazement, as they apparently didn’t know this information.
After a brief silence, Yang Zheng said, “The Destiny Society may not be on par with the Heavenly Race, but according to our information, once they enter the game world, they will be able to use some of the powers left behind by the Heavenly Race in this world.”
“Really? So what?”
Su Nan felt surprised in his heart, having not expected the Heavenly Race to have left behind a trump card when they left. However, his face remained exceedingly calm.
He wasn’t too worried.
The Heavenly Race’s power is mysterious and can manipulate destiny. If it were someone else, they might not have any means to resist, and there would be a high probability of dying without even knowing how they died.
But with the third layer of Life Wheel Scripture, it’s not just the people of the Destiny Society who can’ t do anything to him. Even if the real Heavenly Race were to resurrect, as long as they don’t surpass the King Rank, they probably couldn’t harm him.
Seeing Su Nan’s reaction, Yang Zheng and the others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.
“If you have nothing else to talk about, I’ll be leaving.” Su Nan stood up, ready to leave.
Yang Zheng quickly said, “Brother Wang Nan, please wait. There’s one more thing we’d like to ask you for help with.”
