Seeing Su Han's puzzled expression, the old man continued, "You might not believe it, but I've claimed a reward before, right at the beginning. Back then, any news, true or false, would get you paid. But slowly, only true news was rewarded. As for the Xue Clan, sigh... because I went there with Brother Su before, I was interrogated by a group of powerful individuals. When they couldn't get any valuable information, they annihilated them!"
Annihilated?
Upon hearing this, Su Han's heart sank. After all, his two assistants, the sisters from the Xue Clan, were still in the Xue Clan. If the Xue Clan was annihilated, their safety would surely be affected.
"So, you're saying the royal family of the Xue Clan is all dead?" Su Han asked.
The old man sighed, "How to put it... some are dead, some have fled... utterly miserable, utterly miserable. Even now, many Xue Clan royals, concubines, and beauties are still trapped in the palace by those powerful figures, bullied at will, reveling every night!"
Hearing this, Su Han was instantly enraged!
These powerful figures were simply not human. They had done things he wouldn't even dare to do. Reveling every night was one thing, but bullying concubines? What kind of operation was that?
"Old sir, can you tell me specifically who those guys are?" Su Han asked.
The old man shivered. After all, those people were merely underlings, but in private, they were extremely fierce, their methods so despicable that no one could surpass them.
"Alas... they are all from the Wild Wolf Gang. These guys are incredibly insidious. When the Xue Clan was still powerful, they didn't make much of a move. But now that the Xue Clan is in great trouble, they seized the opportunity to grow, joining forces with several other small gangs and occupying the Xue Clan's imperial palace. It's all tears when I speak of it!" The old man lamented. The Wild Wolf Gang could be considered a small gang, but their leader, Da Hei Lang, was a quasi-emperor realm expert.
The quasi-emperor realm was almost a crushing advantage among the Xue Clan members. Coupled with the Xue Clan's decline, their eventual subjugation was understandable.
Hearing this, Su Han could no longer sit still. After all, there were several women he had taken a liking to among the Xue Clan. Among them, Xue Ling and Xue Yuan, the brother and sister, possessed special physiques that could help him in dual cultivation, making them rare cultivation partners.
Now, he didn't know how they were doing!
"In that case, old sir, are you willing to accompany me to the Xue Clan? I'll go and see for myself who dares to be so brutal!" Su Han said.
The old man was shocked. After all, he himself was from the Xue Clan. Upon hearing that Su Han wanted to go, the old man was utterly astonished.
"Young man... no, hero! You might not know how powerful the Wild Wolf Gang is. Those guys are all vicious and evil. If you get caught by them, they'll skin you alive and pull out your tendons. They are truly terrifying. I, your old servant, barely managed to escape. Now you want me to go back..."
Seeing this, Su Han immediately took out a spirit coin and said, "I'll give you a spirit coin as a deposit first. After you lead the way, I'll give you another 5 spirit coins!"
"Alright! Young hero, please follow me!"
The old man, having received a spirit coin from Su Han, immediately walked towards the outside. His familiar demeanor made the villagers beside him a little unaccustomed.
Before they had even finished their meal, Su Han set off under the cover of night!
After all, he had already mentally claimed Xue Yuan and Xue Ling. During the previous test, both of them had perfect dual cultivation talent. This meant that as long as he cultivated with these two, their cultivation speed would greatly increase.
And if this news were to leak out, their fate would be imaginable!
They would definitely become cauldrons for those old monsters, especially the old monsters from the Holy Altar. They were all eager to find the whereabouts of the two sisters from the Xue Clan.
In the blink of an eye.
Su Han quickly followed the old man, taking shortcuts and direct routes, heading towards the Xue Clan's imperial palace!
If he had to say, Su Han used to feel somewhat unfamiliar with the Spirit Realm of the Xue Clan. But now, on his second visit, Su Han was already very familiar with it.
Looking at the old man beside him, Su Han asked again, "Old sir, I have another question. That bounty you mentioned earlier, is it still active? The bounty for Brother Su?"
The old man paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that you know the whereabouts of Brother Su? You can't spread this news carelessly now. If it's false news, you'll be arrested!"
Su Han chuckled, "Of course, it's true news. Old sir, you might not know, but I've actually met Brother Su once. It was just one day... no, about a month ago!"
"Hiss! Is that really true!"
Su Han nodded, indicating that he indeed had news of Brother Su.
"If it was a month ago, the price would be around a hundred thousand. If it's within the last three days, hehe, the price will be much higher. I heard it's already reached a million spirit coins now!"
Su Han chuckled, thinking that if he earned this money, it would come in very quickly.
"It's easy to say, old sir. After you lead me there, I'll give you another five spirit coins as a reward..."
...
In the early morning!
After traveling all night, Su Han finally arrived at the Xue Clan's imperial palace as the sun began to rise!
The old gentleman who accompanied him had already stayed outside.
As for the inner court of the imperial palace, although heavily guarded, it was like an uninhabited place to Su Han, who could enter and exit freely.
From afar, Su Han could still faintly hear sounds of laughter and play from some rooms. It seemed that the revelry of the night had not yet ended!
Su Han didn't think much of it and immediately headed towards the original concubines' sleeping quarters!
In his memory.
Several Xue Clan princesses lived here, as well as some of Xue Chen's concubines. The halls were luxurious and extravagant, looking like the residences of wealthy families.
However, Su Han knew that the Xue Clan was actually penniless, unable to make ends meet, and couldn't even afford a decent army, let alone any combat power.
"Heh heh... these guys now are even more extravagant than the Xue Clan royals. It's no wonder they can't last!" Su Han scoffed. This place was originally a barren land. Now that these Wild Wolf Gang members had arrived, although they looked very gorgeously dressed, they were even more brutal than before.
Soon.
Su Han arrived at the roof of the bedroom where the noise was the loudest!
Peeking through the gaps in the roof tiles, he saw that in the room below, several beauties with disheveled clothes were lying sprawled on a large, luxurious communal bed, looking exhausted from a night of indulgence...
