Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

”Finally, it was the Floral Fragrance Sect that detained a demon named Lian Xiaoya and left Rolling Stone Ancient City.”

Fang Yu listened patiently.

This information filled in some missing pieces of previously known intelligence and added a lot of detail, creating a clearer thread to the situation.

Yet, Fang Yu’s main concern remained the whereabouts of Lian Xiaoya.

”So, where is Lian Xiaoya now? Where has she been imprisoned?”

Lei Shenhao laughed over the phone.

”Boss, still too hasty. But since it’s the second time you’re asking, I won’t beat around the bush. Lian Xiaoya was escorted not to the headquarters of Floral Fragrance Sect or anywhere else, but directly to a place of a hidden grand sect!”

Fang Yu: ???

What the hell are you telling me or not??

But immediately, Fang Yu couldn’t help but frown deeply.

Hidden grand sect...

In the current era, there are numerous sects that can be called hidden sects. And among the top tier, undoubtedly are the Five Great Holy Sects!

”Boss, don’t worry! I just wanted to tell you that the Floral Fragrance Sect in Rolling Stone Ancient City is backed by a hidden grand sect, and this is the definitive information I could find out now. Although I haven’t unearthed what sect this hidden sect that backs Floral Fragrance Sect is, I did find out something else.”

”And that is, the Floral Fragrance Sect is affiliated with a major sect called Flowers and Birds Sect! And the Flowers and Birds Sect recently hosted a [Flowers Banquet]! That’s the direction I’m currently pursuing. Rumor has it, the Flowers and Birds Sect is backed by some hidden grand sect. If I can dig up more information about the [Flowers Banquet], I believe...”

Lei Shenhao’s voice trailed off, showing some confusion, as there was suddenly complete silence from the other end.

”Boss? Are you still listening?”

Lei Shenhao was still speaking, but suddenly heard a voice from the other end of the phone.

”...Black Withered Saint Sect. It’s the Black Withered Saint Sect!!”

Fang Yu’s tone was excited and his volume increased significantly.

Flowers and Birds Sect? Floral Fragrance Sect? Why had he not realized the names of the sects were so close!

Simply because one appeared briefly in the territory of Tianyuan Town and another in the distant Rolling Stone Ancient City, Fang Yu never connected the two, almost forgetting all about the Flowers Banquet.

Didn’t expect... until now, to connect the dots!

At that time, when he was still in Tianyuan Town, someone told him that the Flowers and Birds Sect belonged to one of the Five Great Holy Sects, the Black Withered Saint Sect!

If the Floral Fragrance Sect is under the Black Withered Saint Sect, then there’s a chance Lian Xiaoya was taken to the Black Withered Saint Sect!

”Find... use your money power, post a message across the net to search! Dig three feet deep if you have to, but find where the sect grounds of Black Withered Saint Sect are!”

Fang Yu clenched his fist, quivering slightly.

Finally, finally he could find Lian Xiaoya and rescue Sister Jin!!

Fang Yu wished he could storm into the Black Withered Saint Sect right now, drag Lian Xiaoya out, and question everything!

However, a sliver of reason told him that with his current strength, even if he had the ability to infiltrate or exit the sect, there was no chance of facing the Black Withered Saint Sect head-on.

Thus, a long-term plan was still needed!

”Since you put it that way, boss, I will naturally comply. But don’t rush; what you said reminded me of something. It would be better for you to listen to this message and then decide on the next steps.”

Fang Yu frowned, but indeed calmed down slightly.

”Go ahead.”

”Do you still remember, boss, the recent heated discussion in the player community... the Black Withered Saint Sect’s wanted notice?”

Fang Yu paused, scanned through his memory, and immediately recalled.

Not long ago, there was even a forum post specifically discussing this matter.

The Black Withered Saint Sect’s wanted notice, targeting the Fallen Spirit Demon...

The Floral Fragrance Sect, holding a demon named Lian Xiaoya, sent her to the Black Withered Saint Sect.

Could it be... there is some connection between the two??

Fang Yu frowned.

But in any case, he finally had a direction.

”Investigate!”

”Find out where the Black Withered Saint Sect’s mountain gate is! Find out if the wanted Fallen Spirit Demon is Lian Xiaoya! Even if I have to dig three feet deep, I will find Lian Xiaoya!!”

Fang Yu clenched his fist, almost shouting.

Seeing Fang Yu’s state, Lei Shenhao found him somewhat obsessed but could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

Really... playing games has made him sick...

But having completed the commission and investigated the situation fairly thoroughly, Lei Shenhao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

These past days, he had been extremely busy in Rolling Stone Ancient City, coordinating the overall situation and personally getting involved, nearly exhausted.

Luckily, the result was good.

As for the new orders, they could not be accomplished in a short time.

A hidden sect, by its very definition, is almost never open to the outside world.

Unless... it’s possible for the sect’s disciples under the hidden sect to have a chance to step into this land.

Lei Shenhao had a nimble mind, soon finding a direction. He didn’t have the qualifications to join such a grand sect, but he had a batch of professional players, high-level sect players; casually a ’genius’ would quit the sect, defect to a small sect under the Black Withered Saint Sect, and then look for an opportunity to sneak into the Black Withered Saint Sect, and the location of this sect would soon be uncovered.

Of course, if capable of leveraging connections and directly contacting the disciples of Black Withered Saint Sect, the situation would be even simpler.

If so, then things here would proceed in this manner for now, while he would turn his attention back to Rolling Stone Ancient City, running his own power, achieving his initial goal of establishing himself there.

It’s true that with family support, financial input, and messages conveyed by Fang Yu, he developed very smoothly in this short period in Rolling Stone Ancient City.

Especially with the support of the local Foolish Underworld’s Lord of Mansion, Ling Huxiang, and the Hall Master Zhuo Xueer, he was able to investigate the situation so smoothly.

On this reflection, Lei Shenhao suddenly thought of something.

”By the way, boss, can you now get in touch with Diao Deyi?”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a pause from the phone’s other end, and then it replied.

”What’s the matter?”

”Oh, it’s like this. The Lord of Mansion of Rolling Bone City, Ling Huxiang, has helped me a lot because of the message you conveyed, in honor of Brother Diao. Now that things are wrapped up, she wants to inquire about Brother Diao’s current whereabouts and convey a message.”

Ling Huxiang...

In Fang Yu’s mind appeared an image of a young woman standing with a sword amid towering wild forests.

”...What does she want to convey?”

”She said: When are you preparing to return what you owe me?”

Fang Yu laughed.

She still remembers.

The Supreme Golden Petal Flower, she has a share!

Even though he has now kept it all to himself, this thing still deserves her share, as promised before.

Only now, the path Fang Yu is taking has diverged from Rolling Bone City...

He is on a direct route to the Capital.

Perhaps, over on the Capital side, there might be a way to safely transport the goods? Eventually, arranging for an equivalent worth to be sent to Rolling Bone City, into Ling Huxiang’s hands!

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yu said into the phone.

”I don’t know Diao Deyi’s whereabouts right now, but he told me he would go to the Capital at some point. As for Ling Huxiang’s message, I’ll relay it if I get the chance.”

”Boss, just go with the flow. I’m just a messenger, hahaha!”

With things sorted out, Lei Shenhao relaxed considerably, and his mood improved greatly, having now significantly expanded his influence in Rolling Bone City, achieving a win-win situation, with no losses incurred.

As for Ling Huxiang, he’ll just tell her Diao Deyi’s whereabouts later, and the message relay would no longer be his concern.

Fang Yu asked about some more details, arranged for Lei Shenhao to continue searching for the Black Withered Saint Sect’s whereabouts, and then hung up the phone.

Many players, at least many high-end players and professional players, seem to be connected with Lei Shenhao; it’s a circle. Lei Shenhao, mixing among gaming circles as an extravagant player, it isn’t surprising he has these connections.

If orchestrated properly, perhaps... Finding the Black Withered Saint Sect and locating Lian Xiaoya might not be a difficult task!
