"Commander, ten spies from the Shadow Tower have already been executed!"
"Moreover, we followed the clues and destroyed one of their strongholds, dealing a significant blow to the Shadow Tower infiltrators."
The generals of the Divine Shadow Army stood proudly on the Supreme City wall.
Executing ten Earth Unrestricted level spies from the Shadow Tower at once is indeed a commendable achievement.
Over the years, the number of Shadow Tower infiltrators within You Country has increased, but those caught were always minor figures.
Killing ten Earth Unrestricted infiltrators at once was once unimaginable.
Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, gazing towards the city gates, lost in thought. Although no joy was visible on his face, he nonetheless praised, "Everyone did very well."
The generals of the Divine Shadow Army rejoiced, "Under your wise leadership, Commander, 99% of the credit for this heavy blow to the Shadow Tower infiltrators should go to you. We merely followed orders."
After attributing the credit to Han Li, the generals of the Divine Shadow Army adopted a fawning posture.
Han Li smiled with satisfaction.
But it was a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
On ordinary days, he would be very pleased.
But today, he found little to be happy about.
Because he wasn't sure if the reply from the Tower Master of All-Knowledge Tower was a refusal, or if they really intended to negotiate with the Immortal Sect.
"Send someone to contact the people of the All-Knowledge Tower and tell them that this old man wants to speak with the Tower Master directly." Han Li decided it's best for him to personally handle the matter, ensuring greater prudence and efficiency.
Seeing that the Commander was willing to lower himself to directly speak with the Tower Master of All-Knowledge Tower, a general of the Divine Shadow Army hurriedly said, "Commander, the All-Knowledge Tower is merely a subordinate force of the Immortal Sect. The people of the All-Knowledge Tower are all insignificant in terms of power and surely wouldn't dare defy your wishes. It's best to wait a bit longer, otherwise, he may demand an exorbitant price."
The Commander speaking directly with the All-Knowledge Tower sent a clear message.
This matter is urgent!
And imperative!
The Tower Master of All-Knowledge Tower would certainly demand a high price.
Han Li responded, "No worries, he wouldn't dare. Moreover, this old man would like to meet this Tower Master of All-Knowledge Tower whose hands reach the skies, to see what kind of person he is."
Seeing Han Li was resolute, the generals had nothing more to say.
One of the generals immediately flew off to the branch of the All-Knowledge Tower to find its people.
The people of the All-Knowledge Tower in Supreme City were all small characters at the Divine Profound Realm, and upon hearing that the Vice Domain Master wanted to speak directly with the Tower Master, they hurriedly used a Sound Transmission Stone to contact their higher-ups.
The message was relayed layer by layer, and after a hundred breaths, it reached Chen Xie.
Chen Xie, upon hearing the news, smiled cunningly, "Can't wait any longer? It seems the 10 million White Crystal is practically in the bag."
If a million is received, All-Knowledge Tower would be financially secure for the next year or two.
And with this million, it would be enough in the short term to allow the Immortal Daily to cover the surrounding domains.
Chen Xie immediately contacted the people in Supreme City, and shortly after heard Han Li's voice.
"Talking to a rock?"
Han Li's puzzled voice came through.
From the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie replied, "Elder Han Li, I've long admired you!"
Han Li was startled to hear a voice from the Sound Transmission Stone, but since many people were around, his surprise quickly faded.
Looking at the Sound Transmission Stone, Han Li silently thought to himself: A small stone can surpass all sound transmission methods of You Country!
It seems this is also crafted by the Vortex Divine Artisan behind the Immortal Sect.
If this item could be used throughout the country, You Country could certainly enter a new world.
Suppressing his idle thoughts, Han Li asked, "Are you the Tower Master of All-Knowledge Tower?"
"Yes."
Chen Xie answered simply.
Han Li continued, "You are as elusive as a dragon, even more mysterious than the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, which is truly astonishing."
"Not at all, compared to you, Elder Han Li, I'm far inferior." Chen Xie was in no hurry, seeing that Han Li wanted to continue with pleasantries, he decided to go along.
It was Han Li who wanted to buy the headline.
And it was Han Li who was in a hurry.
Sure enough, after exchanging a couple more pleasantries, Han Li impatiently got to the point.
"1 million White Crystal for the headline of tomorrow's Immortal Daily, how about it?" Han Li offered a substantial price.
A million White Crystal.
A substantial amount.
An ordinary Five-star Influence couldn't possibly come up with so many White Crystals.
Upon hearing the price, Chen Xie didn't laugh but responded blandly, "Elder Han Li, I cannot decide this matter. The selling of the Immortal Daily, at what price, must be decided by our Sect Leader."
"And how many White Crystals would it take for the Tower Master to decide?" Han Li wasn't foolish, he understood Chen Xie's implication.
