Chapter 1823: Chapter 1823: Make Him Atone and Face Death!
"Alright, I have noted the information you need, Young Master. Please leave an address, and we will send someone to deliver the information to you once we have gathered it."
"Additionally, you need to pay a fee of one billion Elemental Crystals in advance."
Bai Hong nodded and smiled warmly.
Qin Chen left the inn’s address and then paid one billion Elemental Crystals. "As soon as possible."
"Certainly."
Bai Hong nodded.
Qin Chen left the Information Building.
After confirming that Qin Chen had left, Bai Hong immediately went to his office, searched for a while, and found a portrait.
The portrait depicted a person who looked nearly identical to Qin Chen.
"I wasn’t mistaken after all."
Bai Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
An ordinary person would not recognize Qin Chen.
But Bai Hong was different.
As the Vice Building Owner of the Information Building, he naturally had knowledge about various news.
When he first saw Qin Chen, he felt he looked familiar.
Now, he had confirmation.
Qin Chen was the person the War God Hall was looking for.
"This information is certainly valuable," Bai Hong murmured as a sinister glint flickered in his eyes.
There was another significant matter.
Once the War God Hall kills Qin Chen, Bai Hong could keep the one billion Elemental Crystals that Qin Chen had paid.
He would receive a reward from the War God Hall and also get one billion Elemental Crystals for free. How could he not be delighted?
Unfortunately.
He only knew that Qin Chen came from the Great Origin Dynasty.
He didn’t know that Qin Chen was the new emperor of the Great Origin Dynasty, and he didn’t know that Qin Chen had just escaped from the Great Star Dynasty’s Imperial Palace.
If he had known all this, he certainly would not have harbored such ill intentions.
Not long after.
Bai Hong found the people from the War God Hall and revealed the information about Qin Chen to them.
"Are you sure?"
The powerful member of the War God Hall was somewhat skeptical.
Qin Chen had actually come to their Daqing Dynasty?
The other day, the Hall Master Zhou Taiwang led the strong members of the War God Hall to the Great Origin Dynasty to capture Qin Chen, but they ended up humiliated and left on their knees.
They naturally harbored intense killing intent towards Qin Chen.
Of course.
Due to fears of Ji Tian, Zhou Taiwang didn’t dare to openly kill Qin Chen.
But what place was this?
This was the Daqing Dynasty!
The domain of the War God Hall.
Bai Hong nodded. "Are you joking, Brother Qiu Huai? How could I possibly bring you this information if I weren’t sure?"
Qiu Huai’s eyes narrowed slightly. "I’ll report to the Hall Master myself. If this is true, there will surely be a reward for you. The War God Hall will not shortchange you."
Bai Hong, upon hearing this, immediately smiled and nodded. "Good."
War God Hall.
Upon learning that Qin Chen had come to the Daqing Dynasty, Zhou Taiwang’s first reaction was identical to Qiu Huai’s.
But soon, wasn’t there a sense of retribution arising in his heart?
He was a dignified Tribulation Transformation Realm expert.
In a foreign land, forced to kneel and leave.
He had never suffered such humiliation before.
"Qiu Huai, you go and personally verify this first. If it’s true, I’ll proceed. Remember, don’t startle the snake before catching it."
Zhou Taiwang ordered.
Qiu Huai immediately replied, "Yes."
That night.
Qiu Huai obtained the information about Qin Chen’s inn lodgings from Bai Hong and, after threatening the inn’s attendant, finally learned about Qin Chen’s room.
Qin Chen stayed in a side room on the fifth floor.
Taking advantage of the dense night, Qiu Huai climbed the walls like a gecko, wanting to take a look inside Qin Chen’s room through the window.
Inside the quiet room.
Lin Songyun was sleeping soundly, completely unaware.
Yet Qin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, a sharp light shot from his eyes.
Someone was there!
He glanced at Lin Songyun, and not to disturb her, he lightly jumped directly out of the fifth-floor window.
It seemed because Qin Chen was there.
Lin Songyun was sleeping unusually deeply.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to peek inside, Qiu Huai suddenly sensed something fall, his expression filled with suspicion.
The next moment.
A large hand formed of telekinesis grabbed Qiu Huai and then threw him hard to the ground.
"Bang!"
The ground’s stone slabs shattered, and Qiu Huai was in unbearable pain.
"Who?!"
Qiu Huai was surprised and more than a little angry. Was he being mistaken for a thief?
He was someone from the War God Hall!
In the Daqing Dynasty, the War God Hall was a symbol of intimidation.
But when he turned around.
A familiar face came into view, and Qiu Huai nearly let out a scream.
"Who are you? Who sent you?"
Qin Chen coldly stared at Qiu Huai.
Qiu Huai forced himself to calm his mind. He never expected to be exposed before he could even do anything.
"I am a thief. I intended to steal something, but I swear I hadn’t done anything before you caught me."
Of course, he wouldn’t admit to being part of the War God Hall.
Fortunately, he played along and claimed to be a thief.
"Do you think I’m that easy to fool?"
Qin Chen glared at Qiu Huai, then abruptly ripped open Qiu Huai’s garment, revealing an inner shirt with the words ’War God Hall’ engraved.
"War God Hall?"
Qin Chen muttered, and Qiu Huai’s face turned pale as he hurried to explain, "It’s a misunderstanding. I’m not a member of the War God Hall. I just wanted to join them, but they never accepted me."
Qin Chen chuckled lightly. "You, a dignified Eighth Layer Tongtian Realm expert, not accepted by the War God Hall?"
Qiu Huai, upon hearing this, wished he could slap himself.
To be fair, the situation was unexpected, and Qiu Huai was unprepared, hence the flaws.
"Who told you I was staying here?"
"Bai Hong, right?"
Qin Chen’s tone was cold; earlier he had found it strange when Bai Hong suddenly asked if he was from the Great Origin Dynasty.
Qiu Huai was instantly startled.
This was a typical subconscious response, something beyond deception.
"Did Bai Hong team up with you to mess with me?" Qiu Huai asked.
Qin Chen replied, "Whether Bai Hong has the leisure to do this or not, I definitely don’t."
"Bang!"
Qin Chen forcefully crushed Qiu Huai’s arm.
"Ah!"
Qiu Huai screamed as sweat covered his forehead. "If I die here today, the Hall Master will definitely not spare you."
Qin Chen calmly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. If I kill you, who will deliver my message? I broke your arm to teach you a lesson."
"Message?" Qiu Huai froze.
"Go back and tell Zhou Taiwang that I give him 24 hours to bring all the cultivation resources of the War God Hall here to apologize and accept death."
"Otherwise, from now on, the Daqing Dynasty will no longer have the War God Hall!"
Qin Chen spoke icily.
In the Great Origin Dynasty, Qin Chen had already formed a vendetta with the War God Hall. Logically, now that he came to the Daqing Dynasty, it was to seek revenge.
But now, he had no mood for that.
He only wanted to know the whereabouts of Wang Shishi and others; everything else could wait.
But.
If Zhou Taiwang provoked him, that was different.
And Bai Hong, presenting one face and acting another behind his back, selling out Qin Chen to the War God Hall, thinking he made a huge profit?
He can take this money to Hell!
