You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 424 424: 31, Han Yuan

Dawn Platform.

"Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade?"

Inside the Firewood Hall, Imperial Master looked at Lin Yue with a slight surprise and said, "Hasn't the Seventeenth Prince already acquired ten kinds of Holy Grade?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Yes, but the Boundaryless Flower and Original Divine Blood seem to have been unavailable for all these years?"

"Boundaryless Flower? Original Divine Blood?"

Imperial Master slowly shook his head, "Forget these few years; in the three hundred years since I took up the post of Military Leader, the number of times the Dawn Platform has found the Boundaryless Flower within Eternal Night can be counted on one hand, not to mention the Original Divine Blood. Looking through the history of the Human Clan, there have been only a few instances of discovering Original Divine Blood! And in the past millennium, not once."

Lin Yue couldn't help but frown slightly, "Is it that rare?"

"However, aside from the other Holy Grades, what does Your Highness want with these two Holy Grades?" Imperial Master sized up Lin Yue.

"They're useful," Lin Yue said something obvious.

Knowing that he did not want to elaborate, Imperial Master then said, "In any case, in the past three hundred years, there have been fewer than ten sightings of the Boundaryless Flower. If Your Highness needs them, you may have a chance to get them if you are willing to pay a high price in the future, but there's no way to get the Original Divine Blood."

"Alright, I understand," Lin Yue nodded slightly and then said, "If the Dawn Platform discovers the Boundaryless Flower in the future, please notify me immediately, Imperial Master."

"Understood," Imperial Master gave a slight nod.

At that moment—

"Military Leader."

The hall doors suddenly opened, and the Left Governor of the Dawn Platform walked in with a frown, speaking in a low tone, "The people from the Heavenly Punishment Department are here again, and this time two Chief Punishment Officers have come, actually wanting to

While not of Superior Grade, their status was slightly higher than that of Commandery Princes.

Not only did it require experience and connections but also merits and strength; all Chief Punishment Officers possessed at least Peak-level strength of the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building, and they controlled Heavenly Punishment Treasures.

For mere investigative official duties, neither the Head nor the Five Dignitaries of the Heavenly Punishment Department would personally intervene, so the involvement of Chief Punishment Officers already indicated the great importance attached to the matter.

"Greetings to Imperial Master," said the two Chief Punishment Officers, a man and a woman. The woman, though of average appearance, had a rather cold demeanor. The man, young and handsome, had a confident and serene smile on his lips.

On seeing Imperial Master, they both greeted him with a bow.

Imperial Master gave the two a cold gaze but did not respond.

The two then noticed Lin Yue, and the man smiled at him saying, "Seventeenth Prince is also here?"

Lin Yue recognized the two, as they were both Peak figures among the Great Cultivators.

The woman was named Mu Tianyan, the daughter of the Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department, with two consecutive victories at the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building.

The man was named Han Yuan, without much background but also a celestial genius, and additionally, Mu Tianyan's husband, with four consecutive victories at the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building.

"Chief Punishment Officers, are you here to investigate Demon Clan undercover agents again?" Lin Yue casually asked.

"It is and isn't," Han Yuan shook his head with a smile. "Today's matter is extremely serious, forcing us to disturb you."

"Extremely serious? When is it not so?" Lin Yue shook his head slightly.

"This time it truly is different," Han Yuan sighed and said, "It just so happens that Your Highness is here as well. We have heard that Your Highness has found many Demon Clan spies hidden in Di Hong City in recent years. We of the Heavenly Punishment Department would like to ask for Your Highness's help, as if we owe Your Highness a favor."

"Oh?" Lin Yue glanced at him, "Asking for my help?"

"Your Highness will know shortly," Han Yuan looked towards Imperial Master and said, "May we find a place to speak properly, Imperial Master?"

"Speak here. No one can pry," Imperial Master was thoroughly unaccommodating.

Han Yuan was not annoyed but said, "Very well. Does Imperial Master know who reported the case to the Heavenly Punishment Department today?"

"Speak if you have something to say, there's no time to waste with you," Imperial Master said coldly.

"It was the Divine Pivot Institute." Han Yuan spoke solemnly, "This morning, officials from the Divine Pivot Institute reported to the Heavenly Punishment Department that several high-ranking officials had been assassinated, requesting the Heavenly Punishment Department to track down the murderer through their sins. After our investigation, we suspect this matter is related to the Demon Clan of Eternal Night, hence we came to see Imperial Master."
