Chapter 773 - 773 Information About The Murong Family
''The Murong family?'' The silver-robed Liao Huo raised his eyebrows as he looked at the black-robed person who was sitting opposite to him, since he clearly hadn't expected Shun Long to ask about the Murong family.
After all, the Murong family was still the ruler of Murong city, so even if someone wanted to learn information about them, they would usually go to some other city and ask the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' there.
After staring at Shun Long silently for a few moments, Liao Huo's lips curved upwards before he answered calmly
''Of course, if dear guest wants to learn information about the Murong family, our 'White tiger chamber of commerce' can naturally help you. However, dear guest, I must inform you in advance, that depending on the information that you want to learn, the price that you will have to pay may not be cheap.
After all, the Murong family is still the strongest force in Murong city, and even our 'White tiger chamber of commerce' don't want to clash with them unless absolutely necessary.''
Although Liao Huo had just said that the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' didn't want to clash with the Murong family unless absolutely necessary, Shun Long could see from the confident look in the silver-robed Dao Emperor's eyes, that there wasn't even a single hint of fear inside them when he mentioned the Murong family.
But of course, Shun Long knew that this was only natural.
The 'White tiger chamber of commerce' was rumored to have branches throughout the entire northern part of the central region, including major cities like the 'Northern Sovereign's city' and the Holy city. Although the place where Shun Long was in right now was just a branch in Murong city, one could guess how terrifying the power behind the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' really was, to allow them to operate a branch in every single major city in the northern part of the central region.
This was why, even powerful families like the Murong family didn't want to clash with them, unless it was an irreconcilable situation where one of the 2 forces had to truly disappear.
Staring at Liao Huo, Shun Long nodded his head calmly before he said
''I want information about every single Dao Emperor of the Murong family, including how many Dao Emperors they have within the city as well as their cultivation levels.''
Liao Huo's eyes instantly lit up as a friendly smile quickly covered his face soon after, before the silver-robed old waved his hand and said
''No problem.''
A moment later, a piece of pure-white jade appeared on the table in front of him, as Liao Huo pushed the jade towards Shun Long and continued
''This memory jade contains exactly what you asked for, dear guest... information about every single Dao Emperor of the Murong family, including how many of them there are inside and outside the city right now, their cultivation levels, and even the details of some of the cultivation techniques and martial skills that most of them use.
But of course, this is only the information that our 'White tiger chamber of commerce currently has, and some of it may be slightly inaccurate, so I hope that dear guest can understand. After all, some of them are Dao Emperors who have entered seclusion for thousands of years while others may have found some rare treasures to consume in secret, so it's possible that their strength has also advanced.''
Shun Long took the memory jade from the table, but he didn't send his soul sense inside it right away, and instead, he turned to look at Liao Huo in front of him before he asked in a calm tone
''How much?''
Liao Huo didn't beat around the bush as he answered straight away
''60.000 high-grade spirit stones. The price is non-negotiable as well. I hope that dear guest understands the reason.''
Nodding his head, Shun Long didn't try to haggle and simply waved his right hand, taking out 60.000 high-grade spirit stones from the 'Stone of Time' and letting them fill the private room in the blink of an eye.
Although 60.000 high-grade spirit stones was indeed a sky-high price that one could even use to buy a peak 1-star weapon, Shun Long knew that it was absolutely worth it.
Even if the price was higher, he was still going to pay.
What Shun Long lacked the most at this point, was any information about the Murong family itself, as well as information about Murong Tian.
Although he knew that he could simply ask about information for Murong Tian instead of asking for details about every single Dao Emperor of the Murong family, Shun Long knew that doing so would be no different than telling Liao Huo that he had come here for Murong Tian.
Without knowing what relationship Liao Huo may have with the Murong family, doing so would be no different than throwing himself in the mouth of the lion.
Liao Huo accepted the spirit stones with a bright smile on his face, before he turned to look at Shun Long and asked a moment later
''Dear guest, is there something else that I can help you with? Hehe, I am sure that you have also heard about the auction that our chamber of commerce is hosting a month from now, and that many Dao Emperors from all over the central region have come to participate in it. If you want to know the details about any of those Dao Emperors, our chamber of commerce can provide that as well... for the right price of course.''
Shun Long's eye twitched behind the black robes but he didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he fell silent for a brief moment, before he turned his attention towards Liao Huo and waved his right hand.
A thud resounded throughout the private room in the next moment, as a rusty-looking iron halberd and 3 golden scrolls all appeared on the surface of the jade-white table in front of Shun Long!
