Chapter 1207: Black Mask
"Don't mention it. You and I are both members of the Reincarnation Palace, and I was the one who recruited you, so it's only right that I provide you with some guidance as you move up the ranks. By the way, once you get to Nine Origins City, come to the Cloud Peak Inn in the outer city. That's a secret outlet of our Reincarnation Palace, so it's a safe place for you to stay," Wyrm 3 said with a smile.
However, Han Li didn't appear to have heard her, and he was still examining the mask in his hands in silence.
Wyrm 3 faltered slightly upon seeing this, then asked, "Do you have any questions, Fellow Daoist Han?"
Han Li was silent for a moment longer, then said, "Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3, surely it's about time that you divulged more details pertaining to the mission to me."
Back when he was still at the High Zenith Palace, he didn't dare to ask too many questions about the mission for fear of being swept up into the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Reincarnation Palace, but now that he had reached the Great Encompassment Stage, he was feeling bolder and ready to learn more.
"I don't know much about this mission myself, so I'm afraid that I have nothing to tell you even if I wanted to," Wyrm 3 sighed in an apologetic manner.
"We've known each other for quite some time already, Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3. I don't know your exact status in the Reincarnation Palace, but I can tell that you're quite high up in the hierarchy. To be frank, I think you know more about the mission that you're letting on. Seeing as we're going to be working together, I suggest you be more candid with me," Han Li said in a meaningful voice.
"I truly have no information to share, Fellow Daoist Han. This is an extremely important mission that's being personally overseen by the most powerful members of our Reincarnation Palace, and I'm serving as nothing more than a messenger," Wyrm 3 replied with a wry smile.
Han Li could see that she seemed to be telling the truth, but just to make sure, he decided to enlist Weeping Soul's help.
"Is she telling the truth, Weeping Soul?" he asked through voice transmission.
"This is only a projection, so I'm unable to detect her soul fluctuations, but judging from her expression, it doesn't seem like she's lying," Weeping Soul replied, and Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
