CHAPTER 587: CHAPTER 589 THIS OPERATION... SO IMPRESSIVE!

With Xun Li being so courteous, Yang Yan understood that the other party might have a request.

Besides, he was just about to enter the region governed by the Xun Family to head to Qingshui Lake!

With Xun Li here, his journey would have no more obstacles!

"Hmm."

The sedan curtain fell, and Chen Daoheng and the others lifted the sedan again.

Xun Li stood at the sedan’s entrance and continued to follow.

"Brother Yang, may I ask what brings you to the Central Continent this time? Is there anything you need my help with?" he asked.

*He thought that if Yang Yan needed assistance somewhere, he could help.*

*In return, he might also be able to ask for a small favor from Yang Yan!*

"I came to the Central Continent for the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle.

I came to your Xun Family to see how my luck fares.

To see if I can open Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb by chance and enter it!" Yang Yan said casually.

Xun Li’s eyes flickered.

"Brother Yang, your identity is somewhat sensitive.

Would you like the Xun Family to help you conceal your identity? So you can better participate in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!"

He was very aware that Yang Yan was currently listed on the List of Human and Gods’ Hatred, and couldn’t easily reveal his identity!

Otherwise, there would be big trouble!

Even though Yang Yan was under the protection of the North Sea Flood Dragon Clan, this matter would still cause many obstacles in the Central Continent.

After all, the sects and Emperor Dynasty of the Central Continent were families and aristocrats who couldn’t contend with the North Sea Flood Dragon Clan!

"No need, I have Li Minglian and Li Mingxin with me, there’s no need for the Xun Family to conceal my identity.

Moreover, the Heavenly Star Building has already been challenged by my people, forcing it to reorganize the List of Human and Gods’ Hatred!

By the time of the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle, my name will no longer be on the List of Human and Gods’ Hatred!

Not on the list!

At that time, the Central Continent will no longer hold any prejudice or obstacles against me!" Yang Yan said softly.

Xun Li’s face sank as he lowered his head.

"The Heavenly Star Building has been challenged? Preparing to reorganize the List of Human and Gods’ Hatred!

I didn’t know about this!"

He slapped his forehead!

*The demon beasts have been causing trouble lately, leaving me overwhelmed!*

*Making me not very knowledgeable about outside matters.*

*Xun Li inwardly felt helpless, regretting bringing up the matter of concealing Yang Yan’s identity!*

*Because Yang Yan already knew about the challenge to the Heavenly Star Building, and it was even done by his subordinates!*

*By bringing up the matter of concealing his identity again, doesn’t it appear as if he was pretending to be ignorant to trick the other party!*

*Even though he indeed didn’t know about the Heavenly Star Building being challenged, Yang Yan might not believe him!*

*"What a mistake!"*

Xun Li quickly bowed.

"Brother Yang, I only just found out that the Heavenly Star Building has been challenged.

I didn’t mean it that way!

I wanted to ask for your help, but there was no way to accomplish this task!

So..."

*Although he knew it was futile to explain, he still wanted to clarify so that Yang Yan wouldn’t truly misunderstand.*

*It would be a big problem if that happened!*

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly!

Originally, he didn’t want to pay any treasure to ask Yang Yan to handle a matter.

Instead, he planned to help Yang Yan with a minor task in exchange for a favor!

But unfortunately, he miscalculated!

*It was simply a big blunder of trying to gain but ending up in loss!*

"Only by paying treasure can you ask me to handle a task!" Yang Yan said indifferently.

Xun Li held his forehead, fully aware of the procedure to ask Yang Yan to do something.

But...

*He truly didn’t wish to offer any treasure anymore!*

*He was pretty much broke!*

*Having already mentioned something he shouldn’t have earlier, explaining would be futile.*

*He feared that even if he tried to offer treasure in exchange for a favor, the treasure required would be even more!*

"Brother Yang, I understand that only by offering treasure can I ask you for a favor.

But Brother Yang, my family recently encountered some issues, significantly reducing our treasure.

My treasure has also been greatly diminished!

Could you help me out by considering the fact that I informed you of Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb’s location?" Xun Li said with difficulty.

*He truly didn’t want to beg!*

*But he couldn’t find another way!*

*Any small reduction in treasures expended was worth it!*

Yang Yan’s gaze deepened.

"Without enough treasures, there is no need to say more!"

He refused directly!

The location of Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb was something Xun Li willingly shared with him.

He hadn’t forced it!

Besides, with Xun Li voluntarily telling him, there must be something suspicious.

Not to mention that transactions are separate matters and should not be mixed!

Xun Li knew Yang Yan would say this and, thinking of that demon beast, gritted his teeth in the end.

"Brother Yang, I am willing to offer treasure in exchange for your help in one matter!"

Willing to offer treasure, not freeloading?

What a good thing!

"Speak!"

"Ah, okay!" Xun Li then spoke of the matter, "It’s like this, Brother Yang, I want to ask you to help capture the damned demon beast that stole from my family’s ancestral tomb."

This matter...

The sedan bearers Chen Daoheng, Li Minglian, Li Mingxin, Murong, and Qian Rong listened with peculiar expressions.

They were aware of who had stolen from the Xun Family’s ancestral tomb!

It was Yang Yan’s pet!

Now Xun Family was seeking Yang Yan’s help to find Yang Yan’s pet!

What kind of maneuver was this!

Upon hearing Xun Li’s request, Yang Yan looked towards the Mountain Piercing Escape, which was curled up by the sedan, quietly resembling a stone.

Under the gaze of Yang Yan, the Mountain Piercing Escape shivered.

*It had a bad feeling!*

"Very well, as long as you provide sufficient treasure, I can help you with that!" Yang Yan agreed.

???

This response made everyone inside the sedan, including Li Mingxin, Li Minglian, Murong, and Qian Rong, turn to look at him.

They understood that the one who had stolen from the Xun Family’s ancestral tomb was the Mountain Piercing Escape.

And the Mountain Piercing Escape was Yang Yan’s pet, right by the sedan door.

Would Yang Yan capture it?

Impossible!

"What... what is this about!" They were bewildered!

They thought it was shocking enough for Xun Li to ask Yang Yan to capture Yang Yan’s pet, the Mountain Piercing Escape!

They didn’t expect Yang Yan to agree!

"What does the master intend to do?"

Pretending to be a stone by the door, the Mountain Piercing Escape couldn’t help but blink.

"No way, Master, are you planning to sell me for treasure?

No, that’s not right!

The Master doesn’t lack treasures, so why sell me for treasure!"

*It was completely puzzled!*

Yang Yan’s acceptance put Xun Li at ease.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Murong, Qian Rong, Li Mingxin, Li Minglian, and Chen Daoheng were utterly confused.

*Isn’t this inviting a wolf into the house and still being grateful to the wolf?*

This approach...

*They didn’t quite know how to describe it!*

*"It’s indeed, too bold!"* they thought.

Those three words best represented their inner thoughts.

"No problem, I will investigate it. But first, I need to go to Qingshui Lake!" Yang Yan said.

Xun Li nodded.

"Alright, Brother Yang, we are heading the same way, and I’ll go with you!"

Heading the same way?

"You’re going too?"

Xun Li scratched his head.

"Yes, I just rushed over from Qingshui Lake!"

Yang Yan’s eyes flickered.

"What were you doing at Qingshui Lake? Did you find Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb?"

Xun Li shook his head.

"No, no.

Since that one time I entered by accident, I haven’t been in again.

This time I’m going to Qingshui Lake because too many of my family’s treasures have been stolen!

That dog-like demon beast has robbed my family seven times consecutively!"

As he said this, he gritted his teeth to the point of making a grinding sound.

"Sorry, Brother Yang, I truly hate that demon beast.

Whenever I think of it, I just wish to cut it with a blade!

Ahem, back to the matter of Qingshui Lake!"

He restrained some of his emotions!

"The reason I was at Qingshui Lake was that the beast caused significant losses for the Xun Family, and now we need to recuperate.

Currently, the Xun Family doesn’t have any good deals, so I thought of the Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb.

If this information were sold, wouldn’t it exchange for some treasure?

Then I discussed it with my father and the clan elders.

My father went out to try once.

Unexpectedly, he indeed managed to sell the information about Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb.

We obtained quite a few treasures in return!

Though it couldn’t compensate for all the lost treasures, it was a slight gain."

Xun Li chuckled.

"I was at Qingshui Lake telling cultivators who came to obtain the information about how I accidentally entered Emperor Xianjiu’s Tomb!"

Yang Yan frowned.

"How many people have you sold this information to?"

Xun Li thought for a moment.

"About three to forty sects."
