Chapter 370: No Problem
“We… we don’t have such authority.”
Before the other party heard Jiang Li’s information, they already tactfully planned to refuse.
Although they did not have such authority, as people from the Cloud Manor, they had an extremely high status in the Divine Judgment Hall.
There was only a gap of less than 200,000 merit points. It was just a matter of saying something. No one would have any objections.
However, they had only met Jiang Li for the first time. Even though he was the successor of the Human Emperor and possessed great merit, they were at most polite and respectful. It was not as if they would do anything Jiang Li said.
What Jiang Li took out was a red pill.
He said it was information, but he took out another such pill. It looked like a one-time use talisman lightning commonly used by ordinary rogue cultivators with simple production and weak power.
It was slightly stronger than offensive talismans and was far inferior to artifacts.
The only difference was that the surface color was different. There should be something else added to this talisman lightning.
However, it was normal for rogue cultivators to hide poison and medicine in the talisman lightning. It was not special.
Moreover, with the cultivation and methods of the people from the Cloud Manor, they only took a few more glances and already saw through the details of this talisman lightning pill.
It was only mixed with the blood energy of some Asura World creatures. They could turn their heads and spend some time creating a basket of this.
They could not understand how precious this thing was.
What use was there? Was it good for polluting the environment?
“What do you mean? Could it be that this talisman lightning also has a secret?”
“You should know that even if you help us close the spatial crack, the reward given by the Divine Judgment Hall will only be that much.”
In other words, they wanted Jiang Li to compare the information he spoke of with the spatial crack 500 kilometers away.
The spatial crack that concerned at least the myriad of living beings in the mountains was very important. What could be more important in his hands?
“I believe that with your perception, it won’t be difficult for you to see through the secret.”
Jiang Li smiled. This was also the reason why he had been hesitating earlier about whether he should tell this information to the Divine Judgment Hall.
This was because even he had only just grasped it and had yet to use it.
If they went first and hid it for a period of time, the Great Mountain Alliance could use this information to have a huge advantage in the battle.
They could spend three to five months to join the Divine Judgment Hall. At that time, when the other sects and forces discovered it and came to seek help, they could estimate the price and sell this information for a good price.
However, this information was too simple to expose.
Just like the talisman lightning in his hand, as long as he spent some time and had enough raw materials, any rogue cultivator could create it.
Once it was leaked, there was actually no technical barrier of production.
It was convenient and easy to use quickly. This was naturally a good thing for the Divine Judgment Hall. However, for Jiang Li, it was very difficult to obtain enough benefits from it.
Now that he chose to transact, he could at most ask for this condition.
If not for the fact that he had encountered the Cloud Manor, he would not have been so straightforward. He would have more or less concealed himself.
However, time was tight. It was already very good if he could find one of the three divine pillars, the Cloud Manor, who had a good impression of him and was clear about rewards and punishments.
Jiang Li had not forgotten his encounter in the Divine Judgment Hall back then.
He did not have a deep background or relationship in the Eastern Region. If he was unlucky, he might encounter trouble again.
The Cloud Manor was different. Previously, he had nothing to do with them.
However, they, one of the three mysterious divine pillars, had learned from somewhere that the Great Mountain Region had once resisted the invasion of the Asura World.
They even came to him and gave him a cloud-patterned token representing 100,000 merit points.
Currently, in the Divine Judgment Hall, the best force he could trust was this Cloud Manor.
Furthermore, his request was not excessive. With the height of the three divine pillars, there was no reason to steal this information.
As long as the benefits could reach his expectations, Jiang Li, who had obtained the greatest benefit of the Human Emperor, was naturally willing to do something for the human race.
“What’s profound is not this talisman lightning, but the power of this alternate world.”
The three people from Cloud Manor had stayed here for more than a month, so they naturally had long studied the power of this alternate world.
In their eyes, chaos, evil, and blood were even more dirty than ghosts and zombies.
In terms of attacking and killing, it was slightly stronger than spiritual qi, but it was far less convenient and flexible than spiritual qi.
It seemed to be repelling and restraining the spiritual qi of this world.
Apart from that, they did not discover much.
With their cultivation levels, they felt that they were much more knowledgeable than Jiang Li. There was no reason for them to be unable to discover what he was able to notice.
However, sometimes, luck was unpredictable.
Jiang Li’s confident expression was a little hard to understand.
He was the successor of the Human Emperor after all. He did not look like an ignorant person. At the very least, he could not make such a request for nothing.
“With the help of a great figure of the Cloud Manor, this Asura World’s spatial crack is naturally easy to deal with. No matter how a junior like me intervenes, it’s only icing on the cake.”
“Do the three of you still remember who the true enemy of the Divine Judgment Hall is?”
Jiang Li’s words caused the three people from the Cloud Manor to look at each other. It was nothing much, he was just too arrogant.
Ordinary cultivators were fearful and cautious in front of their Cloud Manor’s envoys.
In the entire Eastern Region, who could posture above them?
Therefore, they had not seen such a boastful person for many years.
Jiang Li actually did not think much of the credit for closing the spatial crack.
Could it be that his information could help the Divine Judgment Hall deal with the Armored Trolls?
That was an opponent that the entire Divine Judgment Hall had not dealt with for thousands of years.
According to the information of the Cloud Manor, there was an entire continent standing opposite them. Even the few strongest people of the Eastern Region could not necessarily defeat the Trolls.
If an all-out war really broke out, their Eastern Region alone was most likely not their match.
Now, a youth who was less than fifteen years old and had an extraordinary inheritance but was only at the Golden Core realm ran over to offer a treasure with a simple talisman lightning in his hand. He said that it was possible and would be helpful in the extermination of the Trolls.
It was like a leader returning to his hometown for the new year but met a child on the streets who ran over with a cannon and told him that this thing could kill an adult.
What kind of expression should he have?
Under the bamboo hat, this was their current expression.
If not for the fact that Jiang Li’s merit was too dense, these three would have directly transformed into clouds and flown away on the spot. The fact that they stayed here was already giving him face.
“The three of you, don’t worry. Let me give it a try. I definitely won’t let you waste time.”
They wore bamboo hats. Although Jiang Li could not see their expressions, he knew what they were thinking.
Since the matter had been decided, he did not hesitate anymore. He directly fished out an Armored Troll bound by chains.
This was the Troll that he had caught on the island back then. It had once consumed Nourishment and had intelligence before its effect expired. It was the most common kind on the battlefield.
Jiang Li wanted to kill them, but Fran needed live test subjects, so he left some behind.
At this moment, it could be used.
“A storage artifact that can contain living things.”
The three people from the Cloud Manor were not surprised by the Armored Trolls. They had seen these things many times.
They praised Jiang Li’s wealth in their mind. Such a special storage artifact was extremely rare. It was rare even in their Cloud Manor.
However, even though their strength far surpassed Jiang Li, they did not have the slightest intention of seizing it.
The cultivation method of the Cloud Manor was blessed by the heavens and had astonishing might. However, there were also many restrictions.
They did not want to suffer the backlash of Jiang Li’s merit. The backlash of the medium-grade power of Merit Blessing would really take their lives.
However, the three of them were slightly curious why Jiang Li had captured such a Troll.
“What do the three of you think of the talent of humans compared to the Armored Trolls?” Jiang Li paused for a moment and continued before they could speak.
“I was incompetent and gained the position of the Alliance Leader for the sake of the elders. In order to protect my hometown, I led the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region to the Eastern Region to find a safe path to live.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen these Armored Trolls eat humans. I was extremely shocked, and I felt that the heavens were unfair. Compared to the overbearing talent of these demons, the human race is extremely weak.”
“However, later on, I discovered that the cycle of the Heavenly Dao and everything in the world complemented and countered each other. The more perfect an existence looks, the greater the flaw.”
He held the Armored Troll in one hand and pulled out a drop of blood of madness from the red talisman lightning with the other. This drop of blood had just been exposed to the air when it began to have a dense power of chaos.
“For example, this Armored Troll is good at robbing other races of their talent. While it’s good at changing, it means that it’s unstable.”
“It’s fine usually, but if they encounter this, they’ll be in trouble.”
Jiang Li dragged this drop of blood of madness and slowly approached the Troll in his hand.
Just by approaching, the Troll began to struggle violently. Lumps quickly grew on the surface of its skin.
It was not until Jiang Li dripped this small special product of the Asura World on his body that he threw it to the ground.
The Armored Troll immediately underwent an irreversible change.
The humanoid body began to violently deform.
A tumor the size of a basketball grew out of his body, pushing up his skin to squeeze his internal organs. Then, another tumor grew on the tumor.
All kinds of strange limbs grew wantonly on the surface of the Troll’s body.
Turbid eyes darted around as deformed mouths opened and cried.
In just a few breaths, the monster that could probably match a human Golden Core cultivator turned into a disgusting and wriggling ball of flesh on the ground, no longer having the shape it had earlier.
The eyes of the three people from the Cloud Manor under the bamboo hat revealed shock.
In the same realm, the Armored Trolls were hard to kill. When human cultivators fought them, they usually lost more than they won.
But what had happened?
With just a drop of blood from an Asura World creature, the Armored Troll became like this.
Even if it was not dead, what difference was there to being dead?
“How! How! How is this possible!”
Even the cultivators of the Cloud Manor who were floating in the sky could not help but stammer when they saw this scene.
It was not disgusting, but a pleasant surprise!
Now, they did not care how the monster on the ground looked like a human.
If Jiang Li did not use other methods to deceive them, the value of this information was really unbelievable!
Not to mention Jiang Li’s trivial request from before, even if it was ten or a hundred times, it would not be too much.
“Human Emperor’s successor, was that phenomenon just now an exception, or…?”
They were afraid that this surprise would be false in the end. It was obvious that what they saw was true, but they still did not dare to believe it easily.
“The three of you can give it a try.”
Jiang Li smiled and grabbed three more Trolls from the coffin before handing over three blood-colored talisman lightning.
The three people from the Cloud Manor did not stand on ceremony and immediately received it.
A Cloud Guard followed Jiang Li’s method and drew out a drop of blood of madness.
It was true that spiritual qi and the blood of madness conflicted, but their methods were exquisite. They could use spiritual qi to forcefully delay the blood of madness.
Then, he pointed at one of the Trolls in front of him.
The other cloud guard used the talisman lightning to blow up the second Troll. The blood of madness pounced on the demon.
The power of the talisman lightning was really dispensable. Its function was purely to blow up the blood of madness.
When the blood splattered on the two Trolls, they immediately appeared with the same reaction as Jiang Li.
This made them abnormally excited.
In the end, the Cloud Manor’s Rainbow Cloud Servant was the most cautious and meticulous.
She did not use the talisman lightning provided by Jiang Li, but she controlled this white cloud space to test it.
After Jiang Li obtained the medium Merit Blessing, the world barrier in front of him became even thinner.
This time, he paid careful attention and could faintly sense that the surrounding space was changing.
The female cultivator reached out and grabbed a wandering Asura World monster.
Presumably, he had been pulled in like this just now.
The Cloud Manor’s female cultivator took blood from this monster and splashed it on the last Troll.
This time, the speed at which the Troll transformed was slightly slower. However, after increasing the amount of blood, it also produced such a terrifying abnormality, turning into a disgusting lump of flesh in a short period of time.
Clearly, the blood of madness in Jiang Li’s talisman lightning had been purified a little, but this was not important.
The blood of madness could greatly restrain the Armored Trolls and kill them from head to toe!
As long as they knew this, although the blood of madness and spiritual qi were not compatible, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.
“Great! Great!”
“As expected of the successor of the Human Emperor! As expected of a person with great merit!”
“Sir, thank you! Please accept this bow from me!”
Amidst his excitement, the Rainbow Cloud Servant in the Cloud Manor led the two Cloud Guards to bow to Jiang Li.
An expert of the Cloud Manor actually bowed to a junior like Jiang Li.
It was only when he took the risk to save the accomplished monks from Benevolent Travel Temple that he had such treatment in the past.
It could be seen how valuable Jiang Li’s information was.
“The three of you are too polite. This is what fellow cultivators should do. I only want to protect my hometown.”
While Jiang Li expressed his modesty, he also raised his request, lest they forget about him in their excitement.
“Lord Human Emperor’s successor, don’t worry. The matter of the Myriad Slaughter Sect will be handled by my Cloud Manor. We can guarantee that there won’t be any problems in joining the Divine Judgment Hall!”
“If Alliance Leader is free, please follow us to my Cloud Manor as guests!”
