“That makes sense.”
Xu Zong nodded in agreement.
Geniuses all have their own pride. If they agree to a trade but don’t pay, it would be a blow to their own reputation. Of course, if they encounter someone with a different personality, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
But under normal circumstances, experts who want to achieve a good ranking usually don’t antagonize information merchants. After all, they also hope to find other experts through information merchants and earn points.
And even if they encounter someone with a different personality and get killed, it’s just the result of being eliminated. It has no disadvantages, low cost, and high return. Who wouldn’t want to do it?
Of course, being an information merchant is not something that anyone can do.
“What information do you have?”
“I have all of it.”
The thin young man smirked.
“According to the information you spread, the member of the Blade Clan named Pu Zhaluo and the Thunder with Five Domains, the price for this information is 1 billion Universal Coins. Is that correct?”
“If your information is accurate, then it counts.”
Xu Zong naturally nodded.
Although he couldn’t afford a fifth-order psychic weapon with the money he had, he still had several billion Universal Coins. To be precise, several trillion Universal Coins were not a problem!
“That’s good. This is my virtual universe number. Please remember it!”
The thin young man took out a leaf with a number written on it and showed it to Xu Zong.
After Xu Zong indicated that he had remembered it, the young man began to speak.
“The Pu Zhaluo you mentioned is a member of the Qianwu Secret Realm. His strength is around the level of Five Domains, and he shouldn’t have any hidden strength. He is currently in the 19th mountain range with other members of the Qianwu Secret Realm. Among the geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm in the 19th mountain range, there is one person you should pay special attention to because that person is a member of the Qianwu Royal Family and a master of the laws!”
“The other one is called Thunder, also a Five Domains expert. This one is a bit complicated because there are quite a few people with this nickname and Five Domains expertise. I have collected eight people who meet the criteria, but I don’t know if the person you are looking for is among them.”
The thin young man took out another leaf from his spatial ring and handed it to Xu Zong.
Xu Zong took a look and indeed there were quite a few people who met the criteria.
The name Thunder really had no distinguishing features.
Unlike my “ancestors,” how many dare to call themselves that?
“After I leave, I will transfer the money to your account.”
Xu Zong made a promise and planned to leave.
“Wait, I have some information about other strong individuals here. It basically includes all the remaining people at the current stage. I can sell it to you at a cheaper price!”
The thin young man hurriedly stopped Xu Zong and took out several stacks of large leaves from his spatial ring.
“There’s no need.”
Xu Zong smiled slightly when he saw this.
“Among the remaining people, there is no one who can match me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards the distance, leaving the thin young man with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
“He’s too arrogant, isn’t he?”
He muttered to himself, feeling somewhat resentful.
“But I made a fortune this time, earning two billion Universal Coins in one go! This person seems quite decent, so he shouldn’t go back on his word, right?”
Xu Zong immediately left the 32nd mountain range and flew towards the direction of the 19th mountain range.
The 19th mountain range.
In the current situation where everything was already clear, this 19th mountain range could be said to be the most top-notch force in this 88th world district. Among the 56 mountain ranges, only a few like the 3rd and 6th mountain ranges could compare to it.
Because this 19th mountain range was a large stronghold for the geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm!
There were over two thousand geniuses gathered here, each one a domain-level genius.
And the strongest among them was a prince of the Qianwu Royal Family who had successfully reached the threshold of the laws. His strength was so strong that he was definitely in the top 1000 of the Qianwu Kingdom!
It was precisely because of the existence of this Qianwu prince that so many geniuses could gather here.
Pu Zhaluo was also one of the geniuses gathered here in the Qianwu Secret Realm. His strength at the level of Five Domains was considered top-notch among this group of geniuses.
After all, those geniuses at the Ninth, Eighth, and Seventh Domains all had some ambitions. They had long gone out and fought with other geniuses, so they wouldn’t gather here. Therefore, besides the prince, the highest domain here was only the Sixth Domain, and there were very few of them.
“Geniuses like me at the level of Five Domains are basically unable to enter the top 1001. It’s better to come here with the prince and wait for the final moment to arrive!”
Pu Zhaluo thought happily.
The Qianwu Kingdom’s ruler gave them, this group of geniuses, an order to occupy at least half of the 100,100 spots in the elimination round. That was 50,000 spots! It was simply crazy.
Based on the Qianwu Kingdom’s experience in previous genius battles, those at the higher domains were relatively stable in passing the elimination round. Those at the Sixth Domain needed to work very hard, and those at the Fifth Domain would find it very difficult. It was not guaranteed that there would be one who could pass the elimination round out of a hundred.
Therefore, in order to fulfill the Qianwu Kingdom ruler’s task, the Qianwu prince came up with a method.
That was to gather the geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm together, and then let those at the Sixth and Fifth Domains kill those Fourth and Third Domain geniuses who were destined to be unable to pass the elimination round, maximizing the points in the hands of the geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm!
That was the reason why so many geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm were gathered here!
Those at the Fourth and Third Domains also knew that they couldn’t pass the elimination round with their own strength. In addition, the prince promised them benefits, so they willingly became their stepping stones.
As long as they waited until the final moment arrived here, Pu Zhaluo could kill some lower-level companions and still have a chance to enter the top 1001.
“Hey, Genas, did you go out hunting again?”
In a simple camp, Pu Zhaluo greeted a companion who was leading a team and walking towards the entrance.
“Yes.”
Genas was a young man who looked similar to a human on Earth, but his arms were long enough to reach his knees. He smiled at Pu Zhaluo when he heard the greeting.
“We Fourth Domain experts also have to find ways to earn more points so that you Fifth Domain experts can pass the elimination round!”
Janas was a genius of the fourth domain, and the ten people behind him were all of the third domain. They bore the responsibility of earning points, having to go out and fight with other geniuses every day. Only in this way could they keep a large amount of points in their hands.
Of course, people like Puzaro, who were of the fifth domain, also needed to go out and hunt. No one could be lazy, the prince would not allow such a thing to happen.
Just then.
“Puzaro, get out here!”
A loud shout suddenly came from above the camp, and the clear voice instantly spread throughout the camp.
Puzaro was stunned.
Looking for me?
Why? I haven’t offended anyone, have I?
And how dare someone run wild in a place where more than two thousand domain geniuses gather?
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Suddenly, dozens of curved blades fell from the sky!
The curved blades were incredibly fast and powerful. Not to mention that there was no time to react, even a genius of the fifth domain who had just released his domain was pierced through the chest by a curved blade and fell down in disbelief.
The curved blades were like meat grinders, launching a bloody slaughter in the camp. Within a few seconds, hundreds of domain geniuses were killed on the spot, and blood flowed into a river!
“How dare you!”
At this moment, a roar came from the large tent made of leaves in the center of the camp.
Following that, a burly figure lifted the tent, flew into the sky, and fiercely slashed at the person with a fifth-order Primal Energy war blade!
His war blade was dark gold in color, and the blade was rippling with golden Primal Energy. The fierce aura was overwhelming.
Seeing this, Xu Zong had a thought, and a shield suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the blade head-on, but the shield was suddenly knocked away.
Just as the man was about to pursue, Xu Zong had already controlled many curved blades to return, forming five whirlwind blades. Each whirlwind blade was made up of six curved blades. Under rapid rotation, they were like cutting machines, crazily cutting towards the burly figure!
Seeing this, the man could only abandon his pursuit, slashing out several times in succession, knocking all five whirlwind blades away, but his own arm was also violently trembling.
His expression changed instantly.
“A master of the law!”
In a head-on collision, he, who had stepped into the threshold of the law of gold, could actually receive such a strong rebound force. This person was definitely a master of the law!
“Since you are a master of the law, why do you come to my camp to slaughter?”
The burly young man had a rough but very domineering face. He stood straight and coldly asked Xu Zong.
It was too easy for a master of the law to enter the top 1001. There was no need to come here to kill. He was here on a mission. Doing so was simply looking for trouble!
“Are you the Prince of Qian Witch?”
Xu Zong looked up and down at the burly young man, nodding secretly in his heart.
Born in the Qian Witch royal family, he could have enjoyed a life of eating, drinking, and gambling, enjoying pleasures that many people could not. Yet he was so focused on cultivation, even understanding the law. He was indeed not bad, without a hint of the prodigal.
“Correct, my name is Al Caesar!”
The burly young man said coldly, “You haven’t answered my question yet!”
“Call out that Puzaro from your camp.”
Xu Zong did not answer his question, but calmly said.
“It seems that he has offended you somewhere.”
Al Caesar, the burly young man, nodded in understanding, but shook his head without hesitation.
“However, I will not hand over my men to you for disposal!”
This man had no prodigal taste, but he was somewhat domineering.
“Then there’s nothing to talk about.”
Xu Zong remained expressionless, waving his hand.
“Then I’ll knock you down and go find that Puzaro!”
Thirty curved blades combined again to form six whirlwind blades, whistling towards Al Caesar from six different directions!
Al Caesar’s eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he slashed out with the war blade in his hand, splitting the two whirlwind blades in front of him, and then shot towards Xu Zong like lightning.
But his speed was ultimately not as fast as the speed of the thought-controlled weapons. He was soon caught up by the remaining four whirlwind blades and had to turn around to split the whirlwind blades.
Xu Zong stood in the distance, just watching Al Caesar spinning like a top under the attack of the whirlwind blades, running around in a panic.
