Drunken Wind Pavilion.

Several members of the Nine Heavens Guild are visibly anxious.

They’ve been waiting here for a day without seeing any sign of Wang Nan. “What should we do? If he keeps delaying, we can’t just wait around like this.” “That Wang Nan is too mysterious. I’ve already hired hundreds of players to help search for him, but if he’s still in Tianyun City, he should have been found by now. But there’s absolutely no news.”

“We only have two more days left before that secret spot disappears. If he doesn’t show up soon, all of our efforts these past few days will go to waste.”

Five players from the Nine Heaven’s guild stand in front of the window of a private booth on the second floor of Drunken Wind Pavilion, searching the streets below for any sign of Wang Nan.

At that moment, one of them suddenly squints as his face lights up with joy: “Wang Nan! It’s Wang Nan! He’s here!”

Upon hearing this, the others immediately turn toward the direction of his gaze.

Sure enough, Wang Nan is walking towards them on the street!

“He’s finally here! Wonderful!”

Overjoyed, the group immediately rushes downstairs to welcome him.

Several minutes later.

Back inside the private room, Su Nan sits opposite a young man.

Of course, the one who has arrived is not his actual body, but his avatar Wang Nan.

At the moment, his real body is headed for Tiangong Pavilion, preparing to buy the last bloodline and Demon Sutra that Wang Nan needs.

“What is it that you want from me?” Su Nan feigned ignorance.

The reason he did this was simple: to throw them off.

If he revealed that he knew everything, he would only make himself suspicious.

As expected, his act stunned the young man, who stammered: “Great God, don’t you know?”

They had assumed that Su Nan knew the secret of the shortsword, but now it appeared that he may have noticed the uniqueness of the shortsword, but didn’t fully understand its specific use.

The young man quickly composed himself and secretly relayed the news to his boss, Qian Yu!

“Sir Wang Nan, are you the one who bought that shortsword at the Tiangong Pavilion by offering seventy drops of Spirit-level Monster Essence Blood?” “Right, why? Are you interested in that shortsword?”

“If the Great God is willing to part with it, we’d be more than willing to take it off your hands.”

Su Nan scoffed: “If I’m not mistaken, that shortsword holds a trace of obsession from some ancient powerhouse. I might not know what you want with the sword, but once something is in my hands, I don’t easily part with it.” Just as I thought, he doesn’t know!

Upon hearing Su Nan’s words, the young man felt a sense of relief rather than anxiety.

He didn’t know how Su Nan had come to the conclusion that the shortsword contained an ancient powerhouse’s obsession, but that didn’t matter.

All he needed to know was that Su Nan was oblivious to the ancient cave dwelling and the secret spot. And that was enough.

With this knowledge, even if they took Su Nan into the secret spot, whatever he acquired would still be less than theirs.

The young man’s thoughts raced. Little did he know, this was all part of Su Nan’s act.

No longer intending to hide anything, the young man recounted everything related to the shortsword, the cave dwelling, and the secret spot.

After listening, Su Nan feigned surprise: “Oh? You’re saying that the shortsword is a token to access that secret place?”

“Exactly!”

The young man nodded, “As long as the Great God agrees to come with us to the secret spot, we can also reveal something about your own self.”

“Since you’re willing to bring me along, I should be grateful, why would I decline this offer?” Su Nan said with a smile.

He then added, “But not now. You still have to wait a few more hours.”

This time, he intended to go personally and leave his avatar in Tianyun City.

His avatar could not use the Life Wheel Scripture, meaning it could not use the ability related to Qi Luck. Therefore, if there were indeed treasures in the cave dwelling, the avatar might miss out.

Before leaving, he wanted to see if he could get the incense burner from the City God Temple using his avatar.

“A few hours are no issue.” Seeing Su Nan’s agreement, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, both parties discussed some specifics.

A short while later, Avatar Wang Nan left Drunken Wind Pavilion.

Watching Su Nan’s retreating figure, the people in the pavilion exchanged knowing smiles.

“Seems like we were overthinking. He bought the shortsword simply because he detected the obsession contained within it somehow. He doesn’t know anything about the cave dwelling.”

“That makes sense. We spent a lot of resources to find the cave dwelling. He could not possibly know about it, let alone the secret spot.”

“This actually works out better. This cave dwelling is crucial to our boss’s task and we can’t afford any loss. Wang Nan is too powerful for us to handle. Now that he doesn’t know anything, this actually works in our favor.”

“Moreover, to enter the cave dwelling, one needs a key. We have the key. Whether he can leave or not is solely up to us.”

“Exactly, we must never let him know about the key. Otherwise, he’ll definitely become skeptical and change his mind.”

“Golden Bone Ox Bloodline.”

Elsewhere, Su Nan leaves the Tiangong Pavilion holding a bloodline, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

He found a place where no one was around and immediately fused the bloodline.

Once the bloodline successfully fused, with the cost of eighty demon power, Wang Nan’s fourth bloodline reached Great Perfection!

The number of foreknowledge times increased, reaching a total of 54 uses per day!

At the moment when Wang Nan’s fourth bloodline reached Great Perfection, other players became restless..
