Chapter 1518: Chapter 1538: The Cunning Method to Find the Wanli Palace _1

"Has Weijiao’s force grown so large?"

Lei Zhenxiu looked worried. The Cloud Sky Continent was quite remote from the Immortal Palace, yet Weijiao could mobilize so many forces with a single sentence. It demonstrated the enormous power of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Not necessarily. When it comes to locating someone, outsiders are definitely a no-go. Only locals who are most familiar with this place can undertake this task. These people who are stationed everywhere may not necessarily be from the Heavenly Dao Alliance. They could be local forces hired at a high price, or they might’ve been coerced into serving them."

Yao Xuanji agreed: "Most likely so. Although we are on land, we are closest to South Sea Myriad-Glass Palace. Unless the Palace has pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Alliance wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble in South Yuncity. After all, angering Ao Li is not worth the loss."

Zhong Quan asked: "We’re already safely in the city. Now there’s only one problem left: how do we get in touch with someone from the Myriad Glass Palace?"

Sitting in his chair, Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Myriad Glass Palace, are there many demons?"

Yao Xuanji replied: "The Myriad Glass Palace rules over the demons of the South Sea. The wide expanses of the South Sea teem with countless demons. Ao Li established the Myriad Glass Palace, teaching the demons the art of shapeshifting. Today, there are countless powerhouses under his command. If we are talking about the top-tier forces of the Cloud Sky Continent, the Myriad Glass Palace is definitely one of them."

Lin Chen’s fingers were lightly tapping on the table: "Ao Li rules over ten thousand demons and teaches them how to shapeshift. Does this shapeshifting require a medicinal pill?"

"The method of shapeshifting combined with a transformation pill allows demons to take on a human form. However, even though the demons of the South Sea understand how to shapeshift, very few of them venture onto the continent..."

Lin Chen laughed: "Whether they venture onto the continent or not doesn’t concern me. As long as the Myriad Glass Palace is ruling over ten thousand demons, then they naturally have to source transformation pills. Moreover, the cultivation of these ten thousand demons inevitably requires a lot of medicinal pills..."

"South Yuncity is situated at the shore of South Sea and is the closest to the sea. It’s a large and prosperous city. As we learned from talking to a merchant, merchants from all places like to stock up goods here because this place boasts the best pearls, the best corals, the best sea-bottom medicinal materials..."

Yao Xuanji’s eyes suddenly lit up: "How could ordinary mortals gain access to such undersea items? Those who able to deliver large quantities of such items can only be cultivators controlling the South Sea..."

Lin Chen chuckled: "The Myriad Glass Palace are the de facto rulers of the South Sea. While there may also be other forces at the sea bottom, undoubtedly, the Myriad Glass Palace is the biggest. In other words, the merchant selling the most and the highest-quality of these undersea products in the whole of South Yuncity must be affiliated with the Myriad Glass Palace. If we want to get in touch with the Palace, all we need to do is find out which merchant has the largest quantity and the highest quality."

Lei Zhenxiu exclaimed joyfully: "Yes, why didn’t we think of this before?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Maybe it’s not so much of a secret. We just didn’t think about it in that way at first."

Zhong Quan laughed: "In that case, let’s go search for them."

Lin Chen shook his head: "We can’t go."

Lei Zhenxiu furrowed her brow and asked: "Knowing how to find someone from the Myriad Glass Palace, why not go meet them..."

Lin Chen replied: "It’s not that we can’t go, it’s that we can’t go ourselves. We can come up with this so can Weijiao’s people. There must be someone watching the place closely. If we go, the odds of being recognized will be high."

"There needn’t be two heads for one job. Fairy, you could take an Image Recording Stone and record a message. I’ll have our ’businessman’ take it while purchasing some items and hand it to the shopkeeper. The latter will naturally find a way to contact the Myriad Glass Palace."

"As long as Ao Li receives the message, barring any accident, he will either send someone to fetch us, or he will come to meet you in person."

Yao Xuanji agreed briskly: "Alright, I’ll record one."

Following Lin Chen’s instruction, Yao Xuanji recorded two Image Recording Stones—one for the person in charge of the Myriad Glass Palace in South Yuncity and another for Ao Li.

With the two Image Recording Stones in hand, Lin Chen left the room and found the businessman and had a detailed chat with him.

The businessman took Lin Chen out of their lodging. After some investigation, they confirmed their target.

Nan Yuan Sea Trade.

This was the place in South Yuncity with the most sea pearls, sea treasures, and so on. Their supplies were consistently available and of high quality.

After confirming the target, Lin Chen gave additional instructions and stayed near Nan Yuan Sea Trade. The businessman entered the trade house alone.

Not long after, the businessman left the shop with a smile. Several gazes landed on the man’s face near the entrance of the shop, but the businessman appeared oblivious and left leisurely.

Inside the Nan Yuan Sea Trade, the general manager closed the room door, took out the Image Recording Stone, activated spiritual Qi, and Yao Xuanji’s image floated in mid-air.

After watching the recorded image, the general manager’s face showed a solemn expression.

He walked to his bed, waved his hand, and the bed flew to one side, revealing the Array Formation underneath.

He took a pen and paper, quickly wrote a simple note, placed it in the Array Formation along with the second Image Recording Stone, then dropped an Art spell.

A flash of White Light, and the Image Recording Stone and the note in the Array Formation vanished...
