Kind Reminder from the System

The old man felt that this matter could not be resolved like this.

The Blood Shadow Tower attempted to attack his apprentice. Although the Blood Shadow Tower of the Sun Flame Dynasty was destroyed, what was the point of destroying such a small fry?

The strongest people all have reverse scales that cannot be touched.

Dare to bully him.

We should just go straight to the deepest part and beat up the "backer" of the Blood Shadow Building as well!

Now.

Listen to the old man's words.

Gu Heng remained silent. There was a lot of information in these words that needed careful consideration.

He knew about this kind of thing, and he knew it in great detail. After all, he had always wanted to be a cultivator. If he could really cultivate in the future, he couldn't just be a novice who knew nothing.

It is impossible for a killer organization like the Blood Shadow House to open branches all over the world without the support of a big shot behind it.

But Gu Heng didn't intend to pursue it further.

We really need to investigate.

That depends on Qin Yiyao.

Anyway, the little girl is already a cultivator now, and a more powerful cultivator than him. What can he do when he is in the Qi Refining Stage?

"bite!"

"The mission 'Xuantian Taboo' is relatively difficult, so the system has decided to kindly give the host a reminder when key information appears!"

"Got key information - the forces behind the Blood Shadow Building have the investigation entry point for the mission 'Xuantian Taboo', and now unlocked the additional side mission 'The Fish That Slipped Through the Net'!"

The system prompt that flashed before Gu Heng's eyes made his eyes light up!

What a coincidence?

The old man came to tell the information, and the system actually responded.

This is totally unexpected.

You know, there is absolutely no pattern in the system's task release timing. Either a lot of tasks are given at once, or a new task suddenly pops up at a time that Gu Heng can't even imagine.

The main point is to do whatever you want.

But the system did have a hold on him.

Gu Heng doesn't have any special preferences for tasks, but he will be interested in tasks that are particularly difficult and vague. This "Xuantian Taboo" is actually such a task.

The goal is to discover the "most unknown ancient secret" of the entire Xuantian Realm...

Although it is difficult, and the system does not provide any entry point to start.

But Gu Heng was seduced.

Who doesn't like secrets? Or a secret that concerns the whole world. If Gu Heng doesn't dig deep and get to the bottom of it, he'll feel like ants crawling in his heart.

"The fish that slipped through the net: Find out the conspiracy of the forces behind the Blood Shadow Building, and take this opportunity to obtain the key information of the mission "Xuantian Taboo"!"

There are no mission rewards.It seems that this mission is indeed temporary, and its only purpose is to give him a hint.

But that's enough.

At least, Gu Heng now has a starting point to complete the task.

"Mr. Gu?"

The old man looked at Gu Heng's thoughtful expression and didn't answer. He really couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Do you want to continue investigating?

Moreover, if we want to investigate further, the resources consumed and the degree of danger will be different.

The deeper you dig into this secret, the more likely you are to be killed.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Keep checking!"

Gu Heng slammed the table and made a decision.

It's rare that this old man has a group of "powerful" old friends behind him. Since there are people helping him to act as spies, why not do it?

"Don't worry, Master Gu. Since I came to you, I'm ready to do this hard work!"

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and clasped his hands, saying, "I just hope that Master Gu doesn't despise me for being useless."

Very good!

If Gu Heng was willing to entrust this kind of thing to him, it was not because Gu Heng was incapable of doing it, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to test his and his old friends' abilities to do things.

If you do this well and beautifully, then you can hold on to this thigh more firmly!

As long as one is a cultivator, he will definitely have the obsession to continue to become stronger. The old man felt that judging from Mr. Gu's strength, he might have gone very far. If he also wanted to see a wider world, then the only way was to "follow him closely and not fall behind."

"No way, I should thank you. It's not convenient for me to do this kind of thing by myself."

Gu Heng also returned the greeting.

The old man shook his head and laughed, "Haha, Master Gu, you are too polite. It is my honor to be able to work for you with my old bones!"

But after he said that, Gu Heng felt a little distressed.

Even if you don't say it openly, you should still give some compensation to others when they help you to gather information.

What is the reward?

Give gold and silver... The old man is not short of such things. He has an apprentice who is a young master. The young master of the Lu family must offer him tribute every day. Money and other things are dispensable to him.

Got it!

Gu Heng stood up and said, "Come with me, old man."

He brought the old man to the backyard, which was filled with treasures that he had no time to clean up, but this was not the reward he wanted to give.

But it was the ancient books he had just read.

These were all the techniques collected in the Ancient Secret Palace. Although Gu Heng had tried every one of them, he couldn't use them at all. He even suspected that these ancient books might be scripts that could only be read but not used...

But nothing is absolute.

He may not be able to use it, but maybe someone else can?
