My gorgeous wife
Chapter 2032 - 2000: Exchanging Intelligence
Black River is indeed quite an exceptional strong figure, also an old fox that has lived for countless years.
Even though his cultivation is clearly much stronger than Li Chen, he doesn’t put on any airs, instead he appears quite modest everywhere. Especially in front of Li Chen, he tries his best to lower his posture.
However, Li Chen knows that this guy in front of him is definitely an old fox hidden in plain sight. Once he finds an opportunity, he definitely wouldn’t show any mercy.
This is the world of cultivators, such things are perfectly normal.
Only when one’s strength reaches a certain level will they have their own say. Otherwise, no matter how high you stand or how poised you are, without enough strength as a backdrop, you are but a prey in others’ eyes.
"Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign..." Black River racked his brains but couldn’t recall such a powerful figure from the Heaven Realm in his memory.
Of course, he wouldn’t know that Li Chen has been cultivating until now, but he has only lived for decades. And he, someone who entered here tens of thousands of years ago, how could he have heard of Li Chen?
Still, Black River smiled and said, "Your name is like thunder resonating in my ears..."
"Alright, alright." Li Chen waved his hand, interrupting Black River’s pleasantries: "There’s no need for such pleasantries, I know you surely haven’t heard of me."
Black River gave a dry laugh and didn’t continue, since Li Chen already tore through the facade, there’s no need for him to continue pretending.
"I wonder if you’re free, if possible, how about visiting my residence?" Black River invited.
Having been here in the Yushi Realm for thousands of years, he has never left, seeing an outsider like Li Chen, he also wants to learn about the situation outside.
Li Chen thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Let’s have a seat then."
Soon, Li Chen entered the depths of the city.
Compared to the city, Black River’s residence isn’t much more outstanding, it’s similar to other places, its architectural feature is merely that it’s bigger, after all, the races here have large physiques, which indeed require such large structures to support without shape transformation.
Gui Mo originally wanted to cause trouble for Li Chen, but seeing Li Chen and Black River talking and laughing on their way over, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
"You... this?"
"What about me?" Li Chen’s mouth slightly curled up: "Seeing me intact, are you very disappointed?"
"Of course not..." Glancing at Black River, Gui Mo quickly shook his head, he also reacted this moment, hurriedly put on a smile: "Since you are Lord Black River’s friend, then you should’ve said sooner, why let it almost lead to a misunderstanding?"
It must be said, Gui Mo indeed knows when to bend and stretch, immediately changing his attitude and began to please Li Chen.
What kind of person is Black River? Having lived for countless years, though he places his posture very low in front of Li Chen, he’s shrewd inside. After seeing Gui Mo and Li Chen’s attitude, he immediately figured it out.
"Brother Red Dust, such minor matters need not be minded, having a hard time meeting a compatriot, let’s go have a drink first." Black River warmly said.
"Good!" Li Chen didn’t mind Gui Mo, nodded with a smile.
For Li Chen, Gui Mo’s matter is indeed just a small issue, if he were to haggle over every small thing, then he wouldn’t have to do anything else in his life.
Black River has built himself a palace, and judging from the craftsmanship, quite a lot of thought went into it.
This shows Black River indeed plans to take root in the Yushi Realm, otherwise, no need to bother building a lair.
"Here, I won’t speak much nonsense, let’s exchange information." Li Chen sat boldly beside Black River and casually said.
"Brother Red Dust is straightforward, it’s refreshing talking to someone like you." Black River laughed.
In fact, he brings Li Chen over, also for exchanging information with Li Chen?
It’s just that his way of talking is more tactful.
Having been stuck in Yushi Realm for tens of thousands of years, during which he never went out, he indeed needs to know some external situations.
And as a newcomer to this world, no matter how skilled Li Chen is, the information he knows is quite limited, their information exchange becomes reasonable.
Li Chen nodded: "Looking at you, you probably haven’t obtained the inheritance of the Innate Gods and Demons, right?"
Black River lostly shook his head: "It’s shameful to say, although I’ve stayed in the Yushi Realm for tens of thousands of years, I indeed dug up some clues, but regarding the inheritance of the Innate Gods and Demons, there’s still no news."
"There are some clues right?" Li Chen said with a half-smile.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Black River couldn’t help but fall silent.
After a long time, Black River slowly opened his mouth: "You come from the outside world, the information about the Four Realms you get is known by everyone. And my clues, even in the Yushi Realm are hard to come by. Disproportionate value, you still need to pay other price."
"Really?" Li Chen grinned: "Do you really think this minor world’s dynamics can compare to the dynamics of the Four Realms? Besides, this God Subduing Swamp has had entrants this once in so many years, why haven’t people entered for so many years before this? Could it be that no one discovered this place? Or can’t others enter at all?"
"You have to think clearly, I’m an entrant of this batch, miss me, if you want to know about the Four Realms again, it’s unknown how many years you’ll wait. Moreover, now is the time when information about the Four Realms is most precious, even things known by the general public may not necessarily be inferior to your clues."
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Black River couldn’t help but squint his eyes, information has always been very precious, but if we say when it’s the most precious...
"The Four Realms have started a war again?"
Li Chen smiled without speaking.
Hesitating for a while, Black River finally gritted his teeth: "Alright! Changed!"
After that, the entire great hall was covered by Black River with a Great Formation, blocking everything, meaning, apart from the two of them, no one knows what they talked about inside.
After all, the matter is of great importance, even Black River has to cautiously handle it.
Finally, Li Chen walked out of the great hall satisfied, and the Formation Guard was withdrawn by Black River.
"The inheritance of the Innate Gods and Demons, huh, I’d like to see if it’s really that powerful." Li Chen’s gaze flashed, and he ascended to the heavens directly.
Behind, Black River slowly came out, looking in the direction of Li Chen’s departure, his face still somewhat pale.
Even though psychologically prepared, he was still shocked by the news brought by Li Chen.
The Four Realms indeed started a war, but, for the Four Realms, the most terrifying thing isn’t the war, but the true enemy has appeared!
"Those monsters..." Black River’s mind suddenly flashed scenes from the Ancient Times war, unconsciously shuddering.
