Gao Yan didn't know much about the Xuanming Sect.
Therefore, he planned to find someone to learn about the Xuanming Sect first.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
Gao Yan quietly left Lingyue Peak and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Xiahou Meng lived, and raised his hand to knock on the array.
A short while later.
Xiahou Meng's personal maid, Fuyou, personally came to the foot of the mountain.
"Senior Sister Fuyou, please inform His Highness that I wish to pay him a visit," Gao Yan said politely.
"Come with me!"
Guided by the Floating Spirit, Gao Yan met Xiahou Meng inside a palace.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Gao Yan bowed in greeting.
"I heard you've been targeted by assassins from the Blood-Clad Pavilion?"
Xiahou Meng's tone revealed a hint of schadenfreude.
"Yes, Your Highness, I suspect that the Xuanming Sect hired assassins from the Blood Robe Pavilion to kill me!" Gao Yan said with a wry smile.
"What, you've come here seeking my protection?"
Xiahou Meng continued.
"It's not Your Highness, I want to inquire about the Xuanming Sect from Your Highness!" Gao Yan said. Xiahou Meng is both a Holy Maiden and a member of the Xiahou family, so she must know a lot about the Xuanming Sect.
This is also why Gao Yan came to find him.
"Fuyou, give Junior Brother Gao a copy of the information about the Xuanming Sect!" Xiahou Meng instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The floating creature turned and left.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. This is just a small token of my appreciation!" Gao Yan took out a jade bottle and presented it, which contained one hundred drops of sword intent energy.
Xiahou Meng waved her hand, and the jade bottle landed in her hand. Seeing that there were one hundred drops of sword intent energy inside, she was quite satisfied.
"So you're planning to take revenge on the Xuanming Sect, aren't you?"
"Put away your sword intent energy," Xiahou Meng asked.
"That's right, I do have that idea!" Gao Yan didn't hide anything.
“Junior Brother Gao, I advise you not to act impulsively. You have been assassinated twice by the Blood-Clad Tower assassins, and the sect's higher-ups should be paying attention. As long as you stay obediently in the True Inheritance Mansion, the Blood-Clad Tower assassins should not be able to infiltrate again. Once you leave the True Inheritance Mansion, things will be hard to say.”
To put it bluntly, there are plenty of Nascent Soul disciples among the true disciples. Even if you die outside, the sect's higher-ups won't avenge you.
"Now that you've been wronged, wait until your cultivation level is higher before seeking revenge. There's no need to run off to your death now!"
Xiahou Meng's words were harsh, but they were the truth.
If it were an ordinary assassin organization, the sect could simply send people to wipe them out. But the Blood Robe Tower is too mysterious, so even if the sect wanted to stand up for them, there was nothing they could do.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I will consider it carefully!"
Then, the float went away and returned.
She handed a jade slip to Gao Yan: "All the information about the Xuanming Sect is inside!"
Having obtained the information he wanted, Gao Yan also took his leave.
"Fuyou, do you really think this kid is planning to cause trouble for the Xuanming Sect?"
Fuyou thought for a moment: "He's so young to have reached the Nascent Soul stage. He seems humble, but he must be arrogant inside. He'll most likely go!"
"What a pity!"
Xiahou Meng shook her head: "He's only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he's strong, how strong can he be? He's probably not coming back!"
Upon returning to Lingyue Peak, Gao Yan began to examine the intelligence he had obtained from Xiahou Meng.
First of all, the Xuanming Sect has thousands of spirit stone mines of all sizes in the Eastern Wilderness.
These spirit stones serve as both currency and consumables for cultivation.
The sect's wealth cannot rely solely on mining spirit stones, so the Xuanming Sect also engages in business.
In fact, the other eight major sects are the same; they all need to increase their income by doing business.
The largest trading market in the Eastern Wilderness is called Shenxiao City.
The city of Shenxiao is located at the border of the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Frontier.
This southern border is the domain of the demon race.
The demon race is warlike, and very few of them are skilled in weapon crafting and alchemy. In the Southern Frontier, it is not uncommon for someone who has reached the Nascent Soul level to still be using a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
The Immortal Cultivation Market in Shenxiao City is essentially a business for the demon race, and the profits are quite substantial.
Therefore, in Shenxiao City, all nine major sects of the Eastern Wilderness have numerous shops.
Every year, it generates massive profits for the nine major sects.
After all, the demon race is warlike and fights with each other. After they devour the flesh and blood of their opponents, their corpses can still be sold for a good price in Shenxiao City.
After the nine major sects acquired the corpses of demons and refined them into magical artifacts, they resold them back to the demons.
Of course, Shenxiao City is not only a place where the nine major sects do business.
There are also other cultivation sects, cultivation families, and independent cultivators, many of whom do business here.
However, these sects, cultivation families, and independent cultivators all have to pay taxes to the nine major sects.
But Gao Yan dared not cause trouble in Shenxiao City.
Why?
Because all nine major sects sent cultivators at the high-level of the Void Realm to oversee the situation, and the city lord of Shenxiao City was also a Dao Integration Realm expert.
After all, the demon race doesn't have such strict rules.
Without expert intervention, they would probably rob all the shops in Shenxiao City.
Therefore, if Gao Yan wants to take revenge on the Xuanming Sect, the best course of action is to target their spirit stone mines.
This intelligence report not only records the scale of the Xuanming Sect's spirit stone mine, but also the strength of the cultivators stationed there.
Small-scale spirit stone mines are typically overseen by Golden Core cultivators.
Medium-sized spirit stone mines are overseen by Nascent Soul cultivators, while large spirit stone mines are overseen by Deity Transformation experts.
Among them are three super-large spirit stone mines, which are overseen by Void Realm experts.
"These hundred drops of sword intent energy were well spent!"
High words spoken in secret.
After putting away the jade slip, Gao Yan took out another blank jade slip and left a message for Yin Yutong.
He then flew out of the small world on his sword.
