Chapter 1377 Space Node Mine (Controlled by Demonic Cultivators)
As he began explaining the location of the space node stone mine, Xuan Hao could see that the face of the person from the Blue Sea Empire's intelligence department was becoming brighter by the second.
Then again, it was not that surprising considering that the location of the space node stone mine wasn't anywhere in the core region, but instead at the remote edges of the continent where no major power was located. Meaning that the space node stone mine wasn't inside the territory of any of the other major powers. Eliminating the biggest worry on the side of the Blue Sea Empire when it came to actually taking control of the mine.
Of course, it didn't mean that the space node stone mine was located in an optimal location either, as it was still far away from the Blue Sea Empire and would take a long time for anyone below the Celestial Immortal Realm or without a mastery over the Dao of Space to reach. Especially considering that the fastest way would be to go straight through the territory of the demonic cultivators, the Frozen Wasteland.
Even then, this only made the Blue Sea Empire's intelligence officer more convinced about the validity of what he said, as it would be far easier to name somewhere close to the Blue Sea Empire if he wanted to scam them, something that the Blue Sea Empire's intelligence officer couldn't rule out considering their current relationship with the Explorer Union.
After all, no matter what Xuan Hao told him about his relationship with the Explorer Union, there was no way he would just trust the words of a stranger he had only met for the first time today. Even more so considering that he had never heard about this Bright Sword before. Making him guess that there was a possibility that the person in front of him might have used a fake name if he wanted to scam the Blue Sea Empire.
"Ehm! Everything checks out well… Now… I would like to ask if you are willing to allow us to investigate the location and confirm the validity of you claim?"
For this reason, after hearing Xuan Hao explain what little he had learnt about the mine during his quick pass through the place to steal a few space node stones, the intelligence officer nervously leaned forward as he asked this.
If Xuan Hao agreed to allow them to survey the area and confirm there was indeed a space node stone mine where he claimed it was, it would mean that the claim was most likely true, while if it was false, there was a high chance that it wasn't true.
Even then, considering the value of a space node stone mine, they would still buy the information to ensure they didn't end up missing something precious like that. Of course, they would be offering a far lower price in that case.
"Yes, though, I do have to mention that the mine has already been discovered by demonic cultivators and was guarded by a demonic cultivator in the Demon Lord Realm." Nodding his head, Xuan Hao decided to also disclose the fact that the mine was guarded and had been discovered by demonic cultivators, causing the overjoyed expression on the face of the intelligence officer after hearing his agreement to transform into a frown upon hearing about the presence of demonic cultivators. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
To not give away too much about the demonic cultivators he had encountered and how strong they were nor the existence of the formation guarding the mine itself, Xuan Hao made sure to only inform him about the presence of a single demonic cultivator in the Demon Lord Realm and nothing else.
After all, they would inevitably discover the demonic cultivators and anymore that appeared could just be because the demonic cultivator guarding the place discovered him and informed others about his presence, causing the defenses of the mine to increase.
Not to mention, what Xuan Hao wanted from the Blue Sea Empire was not spirit stones or artifacts, but instead for them to utilize one of their Celestial Immortals to check out the situation personally!
His main goal was to have that Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor hopefully run into the demonic cultivator in the Demon King Realm, clashing with him or her in the outer regions of the continent. Essentially trapping them there with no clear way out and more demonic cultivators at the Demon King Realm likely wanting to jump the opportunity to kill off someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.
In turn, this would force the Blue Sea Empire to mobilize more of their Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestors to help out their struggling ancestor.
At the end of the day, a major fight that would weaken both the demonic cultivators and Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestors from the Blue Sea Empire would break out far away from the Star Shattering Sect.
Even if demonic cultivators wanted to use the opportunity to invade the Blue Sea Empire at this point in time, Xuan Hao doubted that there would be any above the Demon Lord Realm, as they would most likely be busy.
Not to mention, if the Blue Sea Empire moved out with most of their Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestors, it was likely that the few remaining inside the empire would lock down the entire empire to prevent any such attacks.
Meaning the only real threat would be the demonic cultivators trying to push their territory closer to the borders of the Blue Sea Empire during this time, something Xuan Hao felt confident in being able to safeguard the Star Shattering Sect against.
"Demonic cultivators in control of the space node stone mine… Wait a second, I will contact an ancestor about the situation first!" Muttering the first part to himself, the intelligence officer quickly turned around and left the small room in hurry.
Not unexpected considering that the matter now also involved demonic cultivators of at least the Demon Lord Realm. Investigating the mine in question would at least take someone at the Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm (Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm) or someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.
