"They're already so famous, yet they still wear a mask and parade around in public. I really don't know what they're thinking!"
Watching Jiang Yuan walk ahead, his aura completely concealed, looking just like an ordinary person, Liu Zhaodi had already cursed him countless times in her heart. However, she understood Jiang Yuan's stubbornness, so she did not interfere after Jiang Yuan made his decision.
“There are quite a few people here, and I’ve already sensed several who are above the ninth level!” Jiang Yuan said calmly.
This time, the little dumpling did not appear. Having absorbed the power of the beast's heart, it had fallen asleep in the Soul Storage Ring. With the help of the beast's heart power, its strength would undergo a qualitative leap when it woke up again.
The little dumpling had already sensed its spiritual barrier. Even as a divine beast, its initial spiritual barrier was around six thousand, and to improve it, it could only continuously break through its limits. Today, this beast heart power directly helped it improve its spiritual barrier by two thousand, which was undeniably powerful.
However, the higher the spiritual barrier, the more difficult it becomes to improve. Reaching eight thousand is already extremely difficult, and reaching nine thousand is even more challenging. The path to improvement remains long and arduous.
“Because of the killing of Iron Hand Li last night, the other major powers are all a bit uneasy. So, taking advantage of the Liu family’s treasure appraisal event, the various powers also want to find out what the other powers are thinking. Whether they will form a united front to counter the warlords, or develop their own territories and rule separately,” Liu Zhaodi explained.
"As far as I know, there are a group of super soldiers among the warlords. How much do you know about this?"
Jiang Yuan recalled Lu Xingyu, who was among the earliest batch of super soldiers. He was very strong and had an early advantage. In the time-sensitive cataclysmic event, being strong in the early stages meant having the potential to become a top-tier powerhouse.
"I know a little bit of the inside story! But why should I tell you?" Liu Zhaodi looked at Jiang Yuan defiantly, then said with dissatisfaction, "Anyway, you're always yelling at me, so I'm not going to try to please you on purpose!"
"Heh!" Jiang Yuan chuckled lightly, then continued walking forward without saying a word.
"Hey, wait a minute! I didn't directly reject you. You can negotiate with me!" Liu Zhaodi was furious. Was this guy's brain made of wood?
Jiang Yuan stopped and frowned, asking, "Is the Holy Spirit Stone a treasure or something else? Tell me!"
Do I look like someone who lacks this?
Liu Zhaodi made a dissatisfied expression, then stretched out her hand and said, "Hold my hand, and I'll tell you slowly!"
"Are you a dog? I have to leash you!" Jiang Yuan said, infuriatingly.
"Hey you!" Liu Zhaodi stomped her foot angrily, but still didn't give up. She took Jiang Yuan's hand and said, "Then I'll hold your hand!"
Sensing Jiang Yuan struggling to break free, Liu Zhaodi immediately said, "Don't move! If you let go now, you won't get any answers!"
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and remained silent.
"That's a good girl!"
Liu Zhaodi was very satisfied with Jiang Yuan's tact. After taking his hand, she slowly said, "Actually, it's not a big secret that Sima Sheng has a team of super soldiers. Those super soldiers have shown up in several crises in Nancheng. They are very powerful and well-trained. They are real killing machines!"
"As for the number, it should be no less than fifty!"
Jiang Yuan was not surprised to hear this number. Sima Sheng was able to rule the city of Nancheng, so his power must be considerable.
"Oh, right, there's another rumor, I wonder if it's true!" Liu Zhaodi's expression became intriguing.
Tell me!
“Didn’t some of the super soldiers desert before because they were dissatisfied with Sima Sheng’s hegemony? And our Liu family got some news that there’s a three-phase bomb buried under the South City!” Liu Zhaodi shrugged, her expression full of uncertainty.
"Could it be that Sima Sheng deliberately spread this news to intimidate other forces in Nancheng?" Jiang Yuan made a reasonable guess.
"I don't know either, but there are indeed rumors that a missile unit was deployed near Nancheng on the night of the catastrophe, supposedly to bomb Blue Hidden Mountain. However, due to communication interruption, they were unable to complete the guidance, so the missile unit had to change to another method of dropping the bomb! As for whether it was dropped in the end, I don't know!" Liu Zhaodi shook her head, not daring to make a conclusion.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "If the bombing target was Blue Hidden Divine Mountain, then there shouldn't have been any bombs dropped!"
Bu Yao never mentioned that Blue Hidden Divine Mountain was attacked, and given that she doesn't seem to harbor much hostility towards humans, it suggests that the humans' technological weapons were not used, or even launched at all. This implies that South City might indeed be hiding highly lethal weapons.
"Alright, tonight's event is an appraisal meeting, don't act like it's a spy mission!" Liu Zhaodi tugged at the absent-minded Jiang Yuan, then added, "Let me tell you about tonight's appraisal meeting!"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"This appraisal event is completely private, so there are very few participants, all of whom are important figures from the top forces in Nancheng. In addition to the participants, the appraisal method this time is also very different from before."
Liu Zhaodi paused for a moment and continued, "First of all, this time all the treasures will not be sold through auction, but through barter. As for what will be exchanged, it all depends on the other party. It could be a message, or it could be a promise. In any case, as long as both parties are willing, a transaction can be completed!"
"I only care about the quality of the treasure!"
Having seen many fine things, he wasn't very interested in ordinary things.
"Don't worry, the forces that are capable this time are all formidable. Whether we make a profit or a loss depends entirely on our judgment!" Liu Zhaodi said in a businessman's tone.
"Zhao Di, you've finally arrived!"
Before the two could finish speaking, someone rushed over in a hurry, startling Liu Zhaodi so much that she let go of Jiang Yuan's hand.
