Chapter 596: Divine Secrets Obscure! The First Family of Linjiang County: The Zhou Clan! Goods! Lady Hu!
Li Yanchu had already informed Celestial Master Zhao about the matter of Shanhai Tower trafficking people into the Shituo Kingdom, which they had uncovered there.
Celestial Master Zhao was also very surprised.
When attempting the Divination Technique, he found the information from Shanhai Tower extremely blurred, as if someone of great skill had deliberately concealed it.
The Divination Technique was never perfectly precise; after all, the so-called divine secrets were layered and could not be spoken freely.
Many demonic cultivators spoke in vague, elusive terms. Partly to avoid the backlash of probing divine secrets, and partly because the technique itself produces ambiguity.
A practitioner with great magical power, or a powerful formation, could obscure certain things. Sometimes, if the karmic connections weren’t strong, even divination failed.
Celestial Master Zhao said he would investigate thoroughly upon returning. In his view, there might very well be a Yang Spirit realm master within Shanhai Tower.
However, for Celestial Master Zhao, the matter of Prince Qing was far more pressing. The rest of the matters would have to be put aside for the time being.
Li Yanchu asked Minghe, and from her, he learned that Shanhai Tower should have a foothold somewhere in Donglin Prefecture.
However, Shanhai Tower operated in secrecy; not only did they have dedicated assassins, but also practitioners. All of their activities were underground, entirely hidden from public view. The fact that they could know there was a foothold in Donglin Prefecture demonstrated the astonishing reach of the Ming family’s influence.
Thinking of the people trafficked from Shituo City, Li Yanchu’s mood grew heavy.
