Will rubbed his fists together, his eyes gleaming as he chuckled, "You know I have extraordinary bones, a talent that astounds the Mythical Epoch. The heavy responsibility of safeguarding the myriad realms rests upon this disciple's shoulders. I beg Master above to immediately impart upon me the True Dragon inheritance. Also, I hope you can bestow upon me ten thousand jin of dragon blood, eight thousand jin of dragon meat, three hundred dragon pearls, and some dragon tendons to stew a seafood soup. No need to think, it must be delicious, definitely for Master to have a taste."
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was utterly dumbfounded. This guy was truly shameless to the extreme. Ten thousand jin of dragon blood, eight thousand jin of dragon meat, and dragon tendons? It didn't even have that much itself. It would be completely drained dry.
Seeing this, Will immediately curled his lip disdainfully, "You don't even have these? And you have the nerve to be my master? I've never seen such a shameless dragon. Oh, at most you can only be considered a worm, not even a dragon."
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor immediately bared its claws and charged forward, roaring, "Go to hell! Get lost, get lost for me! I'm going to slaughter you, make you understand why chrysanthemums are so brilliantly bright!"
"Screw you! You corpse-eating bug, get away! Don't make this Lord of Light slap you to death!"
"Awoo— Slap your big-headed ghost!"
Thus, a man and an insect came into conflict, engaging in a fierce man-versus-insect battle, creating a chaotic mess of smoke and dust.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Actually using 'Monkey Steals the Peach'? You damn bug!"
"This lord will make you heirless— Damn, you're poking my lower parts with a stick? Ugh, so shameless."
"You steal the peach, I'll burst your big chrysanthemum!"
Watching these two clowns fooling around, Ye Chen was truly speechless. These two guys were shamelessness meeting brazenness, shamelessness plus brazenness.
Finally, even Ye Chen couldn't stand watching anymore. He directly slapped out, golden light surging, directly suppressing them and separating the two.
Will's clothes were tattered, with several clear claw marks on his arms, his hair disheveled, looking quite disheveled. There was also a bite mark on his buttocks. He cursed, "Damn it all, never seen such a shameless guy, actually using 'Monkey Steals the Peach' and biting my butt, damn!"
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor had two black eyes, blood flowing from its nostrils, also grumbling, "Aren't you the same?"
"Dare to argue one more word, and I'll suppress both of you," Ye Chen said.
"..." The man and the dragon immediately fell silent, though their eyes were still cursing each other, leaving Ye Chen speechless again.
After a pause, Ye Chen looked at Will and said, "Will, about the True Dragon secret treasure, do you really not know?"
Asked about this, Will just spread his hands, shrugged, very straightforwardly: "Don't know!"
"..." Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor were left speechless.
Will chuckled, "I was just short on spirit stones recently, so I went to scam some people. Didn't expect a whole bunch of guys to actually fall for it. Tsk tsk, several million jin of spirit stones easily obtained. Sure enough, these people have all cultivated into idiots. What True Dragon secret treasure? I just drew a map of a latrine pit's location and said it was that."
Ye Chen had seen unscrupulous people, but never one this unscrupulous. He rolled his eyes.
But Will paused and said, "But no need to worry. I heard some useful related news. This Plunder Heaven Plains has a path connecting to a certain important ancient domain. It's said to be a mysterious ancient domain with the inheritances of Mythical Emperors and Sovereigns."
Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor exchanged a glance: "The Ancient Divine Domain!"
The Dragon Phoenix Academy held one or two mysterious ancient path channels leading to the Ancient Divine Domain. Otherwise, even ancient Great Sages couldn't break in. Could it be within this legendary Prodigy Trial Grounds?
Immediately, Ye Chen thought it highly possible. Otherwise, why would this vast Plunder Heaven Plains become the Dragon Phoenix Academy's Prodigy Trial Grounds throughout the ages?
But knowing was useless. The Plunder Heaven Plains was ultimately too vast, spanning tens of millions of li. Trying to find that ancient path was undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.
But Will was, in a way, extraordinary. He had inquired about some important information. That mysterious ancient path was very likely within the Dark Night City at the center of the Plunder Heaven Plains.
Hearing this, not only Ye Chen but also the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, solemn expressions appearing on their faces.
Dark Night City was the most core ancient city within the entire vast Plunder Heaven Plains, equivalent to Black Sky City in the Black Sky Plains—a core ancient city where the most powerful group of great bandits were stationed.
There were even rumors that within Dark Night City, there existed old monsters at the Heavenly King level. It could be called a dragon's pool and tiger's den, unfathomably deep.
Wanting to enter Dark Night City was not that easy.
Moreover, after the battle in the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, the origin force of the Ancient Lan World had also been depleted considerably. Drawing power again would be much weaker.
Fortunately, he still had many trump cards on him. Otherwise, for this trip, even he didn't have much confidence.
"Let's not set off for now. Better to understand more before moving." The two men and the dragon headed back to the intelligence hall. By this time, those people had basically returned, all cursing and swearing, realizing they'd been scammed, so angry they wanted to curse that old man's ancestors for eighteen generations, smoke rising from their heads.
Damn it, seen shameless people, but never one so shameless. Not only did they not see any True Dragon secret treasure, but what they dug up was actually a latrine pit of unknown age. What bad luck was this?
As the instigator, Will showed not a hint of embarrassment, just grinning with a sly chuckle.
"Trouble, please give me the most comprehensive and best intelligence regarding Dark Night City," Ye Chen inquired of the palace-attired maid selling intelligence.
"Trouble, twelve thousand jin of spirit stones," the palace-attired maid responsible for selling intelligence spoke, revealing a sweet smile.
"Twelve thousand jin?" The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was somewhat astonished; it was actually that expensive. Even Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.
The palace-attired maid smiled and explained, "Esteemed guests may not know. Because the Dragon Phoenix Academy has reopened to recruit prodigy disciples from the Myriad Domains, the Dark Night Siege Battle that occurs once every hundred thousand years is also about to begin. Naturally, the price of intelligence regarding Dark Night City is particularly expensive. It can be said to be the most crucial matter in the Plunder Heaven Plains."
"Dark Night Siege Battle?"
The few were somewhat puzzled, clearly not understanding this Dark Night Siege Battle. But since it was related to a hundred-thousand-year cycle and also involved the Dragon Phoenix Academy, intuition told Ye Chen it might be precisely related to the mysterious ancient path.
The palace-attired maid didn't answer, just smiled in response. Ye Chen took out ten thousand jin of spirit stones to pay.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The maid bowed gracefully, revealing the beautiful snowy white jade of her chest, making Will's eyes gleam: "So big, so white, really want to touch and grab it, wonder what it tastes like."
The palace-attired maid naturally heard this, her face blushing with shame and annoyance. She had never seen such a straightforwardly shameless guy. She immediately left quickly.
The Heavenly God Palace's efficiency was not ordinary fast. Soon, a brocade box was brought up, containing a Memory Jade placed within.
Ye Chen immediately extended a wisp of divine sense.
