After leaving the Yinfuego Sect, Xiao Yan brought Cai Lin into a nearby city. Before heading to the Sword Sect, he still had a matter of the heart to resolve, which was the favor owed to Luo Tian Shen from years ago!
Xiao Yan did not plan to personally visit the Luo Clan, as it would waste a lot of time. After all, his time was limited, and in a few days, he had to return to the Endless Fire Region to oversee the situation!
"Why are we not going to the Sword Sect? Why are we here?" Seeing Xiao Yan enter the city, Cai Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, naturally knowing how precious Xiao Yan's time was.
"I came to gather some information; I owe someone a favor from back then." Xiao Yan said with a smile, then continued walking towards the city center. Cai Lin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she did not say more. She knew Xiao Yan very well and understood how much he valued favors.
After wandering around the city for half an hour, Xiao Yan brought Cai Lin to a grand building called "Ling Pavilion" in the city.
Ling Pavilion!
A mysterious and powerful force in the vast world, this organization was somewhat different. They specialized in operating and transmitting all kinds of information. The latest news from all over the vast world would be known by the Ling Pavilion. This alone showed the enormity of the organization, and the dense intelligence network must be supported by a terrifying strength!
In major cities across the vast world, there were branches of the Ling Pavilion, and this one was naturally a branch.
After glancing at the grand hall, Xiao Yan led Cai Lin straight in.
The first floor was extremely spacious, with a massive circular crystal platform in the center, inside which were thousands of women dressed in the same uniform.
Their perfect figures were clearly outlined by the tight uniforms, and they were all extremely beautiful, exuding an elegant aura with every move, and their faces wore professional smiles.
At the moment, there were many people queuing outside the crystal platform, forming a long line. They were all there to buy information, but these people in the long queue were not too anxious, as just looking at the perfect figures in front of the crystal platform was enough to make them willing to wait a bit longer.
However, while they appreciated the beauty, no one dared to disrespect these beautiful women, as they were people of the Ling Pavilion. The Ling Pavilion seemed unassuming, but everyone knew that this force was extremely terrifying!
"So many people." Looking at the long queue around the circular platform, Xiao Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and was about to leave. With so many people, how long would it take to queue? He didn't have the time to wait.
"Please wait, honored guests."
Just as Xiao Yan and Cai Lin were about to leave, a pleasant voice sounded. Xiao Yan and Cai Lin stopped, turned around, and saw a woman slowly walking over.
This woman was also dressed in a uniform, her perfect figure clearly outlined, and she had a charming smile on her lips.
Her status seemed much higher, as her uniform was more luxurious, and her demeanor was extremely noble, clearly not an ordinary person.
"Isn't that Manager Zixuan? Why is she out?"
"It is her. Manager Zixuan doesn't easily show up unless there's a big figure."
"From this, it seems that the black-robed young man and the alluring woman are not simple."
When the woman in the luxurious uniform appeared, the eyes of the queuing crowd turned to her, as if they all recognized her.
"Hello, I am Manager Zixuan of this branch." The woman walked up to Xiao Yan and Cai Lin, her long legs occasionally showing from the uniform, and she smiled.
Xiao Yan glanced at the woman who called herself Zixuan and nodded with a smile. Cai Lin, however, did not give her a good face, her cold eyes glancing at Zixuan and then at Xiao Yan, before ignoring her.
Seeing that Cai Lin seemed to have a slight hostility towards her, Zixuan could guess their relationship but still smiled politely.
With her experience, she could tell at first glance that these two were extraordinary, especially the black-robed young man. His aura was like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible for her to discern anything.
"May I ask what information the young master is seeking?"
Zixuan's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan, and she asked directly, as people came to the Ling Pavilion to gather information!
"I want to gather information about the recent situation of the Luo Clan!" Xiao Yan smiled, knowing that with Zixuan, he could avoid the queue. The reason for this treatment was clear to him; everything depended on strength.
"The Luo Clan, huh." Hearing this, Zixuan looked at Xiao Yan a bit more, then smiled and said, "Young master, please follow me!"
Zixuan turned and walked towards the second floor. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and followed, while Cai Lin's beautiful eyes glanced at Zixuan ahead and then walked to the second floor at a steady pace.
In an elegant room on the second floor, Zixuan quickly found the recent information about the Luo Clan!
"The recent situation of the Luo Clan seems quite dire. It might face a catastrophic disaster soon!" Zixuan poured a cup of clear tea for Xiao Yan, raised her eyebrows, and said slowly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.
"Catastrophic disaster?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed. This was not the news he wanted to hear.
"You may not know, but over the past few decades, the Luo Clan has been in decline, with a lack of talent. It is now at the bottom of the four divine clans. As the weak are preyed upon by the strong, the declining Luo Clan has naturally become prey for the other three divine clans.
Not long ago, the three divine clans declared war on the Luo Clan, and the young leader of the Luo Clan, Luo Tian Qing, also fell in this battle."
At this, Zixuan noticed Xiao Yan's increasingly furrowed brows and paused, then continued, "Without a doubt, the fall of Luo Tian Qing dealt a heavy blow to the Luo Clan, and it also caused internal strife. Various factions within the clan are now vying to surrender. The Luo Clan is almost on the verge of collapse, and even Luo Tian Shen may be powerless to turn the tide."
"Furthermore, the three divine clans have declared that if the Luo Clan does not surrender by the third day, they will launch another war. If this war starts, the Luo Clan will surely be destroyed!" Zixuan spoke while observing Xiao Yan, sensing that this black-robed young man was deeply concerned about the Luo Clan, though she did not know the reason.
"Who would have thought that after a few decades, the Luo Clan has declined so much, and even Luo Tian Qing has fallen."
After listening to Zixuan, Xiao Yan slowly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the horizon, sighing softly. Truly, things had changed so much!
Zixuan and Cai Lin, seeing Xiao Yan's sigh, naturally sensed that he had a deep connection with the Luo Clan. Given Cai Lin's understanding of Xiao Yan, he would not stand idly by.
"Manager Zixuan, I have a favor to ask. Would you be willing to help?" After a while, Xiao Yan regained his composure, turned around, and looked at Zixuan.
"Whatever the young master needs, just say it, and I will do my best!" Zixuan smiled, sensing that Xiao Yan was no ordinary person. Making a connection today would be a good thing!
"Three days from now, please send a message to the Luo Clan on my behalf."
