Chapter 1680 – Speaking The Truth

In the Han Clan, inside his study, Han Ren was currently reading the report in front of him. The report was about Zhao Hai’s matters in the lower realms. It also included some of Zhao Hai’s information in the World of Cultivation.

The Han Clan was the first to know about Zhang Feng obtaining a large artifact. Moreover, Han Ren wasn’t stupid. Zhang Feng told him about Zhao Hai’s ability to recycle materials. So upon hearing that Zhang Feng obtained a large artifact, Han Ren’s thoughts began to run. Others might be unaware about the origin of Zhang Feng’s large artifact, but Han Ren thought of Zhao Hai right away.

After thinking of this, Han Ren immediately ordered to fetch all information regarding Zhao Hai. Since Zhao Hai can produce a large artifact, it was worth attaching such great importance to him.

Upon reading Zhao Hai’s materials, Han Ren discovered some issues. The moment the Hundred Treasures Realm rose in strength coincided with the time Zhao Hai joined them. Moreover, they were able to defeat the Giant Spirit Realm in one fell swoop. They were also able to obtain the refinement method of the Giant Spirit Treasure Ship. Han Ren was aware that the Giant Spirit Treasure Ships were made by parts and were assembled later. This was the same construction methodology as Zhang Feng’s large artifact. If Han Ren couldn’t connect these two together, then he would be an idiot.

Han Ren also knew of Zhao Hai’s massacre of the Buddhist Realm after Mu Yu was killed. To be honest, upon reading the report, Han Ren understood Zhao Hai less. Zhao Hai looked like an ordinary cultivator. Moreover, he rarely showed himself and his strength to the public. Because of this, his identity was covered by a very thick fog.

Han Ren closed his eyes for a while. Then he ordered, “Someone call the third child over.”

The darkness around him seemed to comply and before long footsteps were heard outside the study. Then when the footsteps stopped outside Han Ren’s study, Han Ren said, “There’s no need to knock, come in.”

Han Buli pushed the door open and then walked in. He bowed towards Han Ren and said, “Third Uncle, you were looking for me?”

Han Ren nodded and said, “I did. Buli, did you meet with Zhao Hai recently?”

Han Buli gave Han Ren a bizarre look. Han Ren was very friendly when it came to his matters, but Zhao Hai seems to be an exception. Han Ren already asked him several times about Zhao Hai. Han Buli didn’t know why, but he could see that Han Ren attached great attention to Zhao Hai.

Han Buli shook his head and said, “I haven’t. Because of a small matter, I haven’t been visiting him. Why did you ask? Are there any issues with Little Hai?”

Han Ren stared, then he immediately replied, “Of course not, there’s no problem. I’m just asking. You don’t have any missions lately, so I want you to get in touch with Zhao Hai as much as possible. Do you understand?”

When Han Buli heard Han Ren, he couldn’t help but stare for a moment. Then his expression changed as he said, “Third Uncle, you best tell me the truth. Why do you want me to get in touch with Little Hai? I treat him as a real friend. I don’t want him to be used.”

Hearing Han Buli, it was time for Han Ren to stare. Looking at Han Buli’s expression, Han Ren immediately understood. Han Buli does indeed treat Zhao Hai as a true friend rather than a contact. If something bad was going to happen to Zhao Hai, then Han Buli might not comply. He would only change his mind if Zhao Hai was a threat to the Han Clan.

Han Ren looked at Han Buli as he sighed and said, “It’s not what you think. Don’t misunderstand. I want you to keep in contact with Zhao Hai not because we want to use him. In fact, I want you to be on good terms with him. Maybe, in the future, the Han Clan might need to ask him for help. We’re depending on you for this.”

Han Buli was surprised when he heard this. He couldn’t help but ask, “Third Uncle, have you misspoken? Our Han Clan asking Little Hai for help? How is that possible?”

Han Ren looked at Han Buli and said, “How could it be impossible with Zhao Hai’s ability? Zhang Feng just obtained a large artifact, you should know about this right?”

Han Buli nodded and said, “I do. It caused quite a huge stir. The other clans were too surprised that they immediately ran towards the Hu Clan. It was quite lively.”

Han Ren looked at Han Buli as he sneered and said, “Then do you know where Zhang Feng acquired the large artifact?”

Han Buli shook his head and said, “How could I know? Third Uncle, you mean to say that Zhang Feng’s large artifact has a connection with Little Hai?”

Han Ren nodded and said, “There is. Zhao Hai’s ability is recycling waste materials and using them to create other things. He can decompose any material and reuse them elsewhere. Do you know the value of such an ability?”

Hearing Han Ren, Han Buli immediately understood. He knew that Han Ren wasn’t joking at this time. Moreover, Han Buli grew up in the powerful Han Clan. So he understood how valuable Zhao Hai’s ability was.

Seeing Han Buli nod, Han Ren nodded and said, “Shortly after entering the Great World of Cultivation, Zhang Feng came across Zhao Hai and his ability. Therefore, Zhang Feng arranged for him to be stationed in the Ignored Valley. Think about it, with Zhao Hai’s ability, wouldn’t him being in the Ignored Valley be akin to a fish in water? Then not long after Zhao Hai entered the Ignored Valley, Zhang Feng managed to acquire a large artifact. If I say that it doesn’t have anything to do with Zhao Hai, then would you believe me? Most importantly, Zhao Hai has experience in making large artifacts in the lower realms. Now, do you understand?”

Han Buli nodded, “I understand. No wonder Little Hai didn’t care about being sent to the Ignored valley. He even seemed happy about it. No wonder Zhang Feng killed all the other Battle Slaves.”

Han Ren nodded, “Last time when you got in touch with Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng asked us to make a move to deal with you. I asked him personally and then came to know about Zhao Hai’s matter. Otherwise, you won’t be able to be this free. Zhao Hai’s ability is too formidable. Fortunately, you came in contact with him before all of this. Later on, if our clan has anything to ask of Zhao Hai, it would be easier for us to speak. If it weren’t for you, we might not be able to speak as easily.”

Han Buli nodded, “I understand. Rest assured, I know what to do.”

Han Ren nodded and then waved his hand, “Alright, you can go. Remember, don’t tell anybody else about this. Besides you, me, Little Hai, and Zhang Feng, I don’t want anybody to know. If other people get this information, Little Hai will be in trouble.”

Han Buli nodded, “Don’t worry Third Uncle. I know how important this is. I’m going. I’ll go ask Little Hai for a drink.” Then he turned around and left.

Seeing Han Buli departing, Han Ren couldn’t help but shake his head. Then he smiled. He envied Han Buli. In the Great World of Cultivation, having a good friend was as rare as a godly weapon. Han Buli was very lucky to have a friend.

At the same time, Han Ren couldn’t help but be surprised with Han Buli’s luck. His cultivation might not be very strong and he ate a lot of pills to progress to the Core Formation Stage. However, the heavens gave him an ability to change his appearance, making him important to the Han Clan.

And now, the heavens gave Han Buli a good friend. Han Ren couldn’t help but admire his luck. Thinking of this, Han Ren couldn’t help but laugh. Being Zhao Hai’s friend, Han Buli brought the Han Clan a good benefit for free. Of course, Han Ren wouldn’t prevent it.

Zhao Hai didn’t know that his gift would cause quite a stir in the Black Tiger Gang. His understanding of the sect was still very small. Because of this, he didn’t care about what happened outside. He just continued studying his formations.

At this time, the transmission formation flashed a white light. Zhao Hai looked over and saw that it was Han Buli. He immediately went out of the Space and welcomed him, “Brother Han, how come you’re free today?”

Han Buli laughed and said, “I’m just coming over for a drink. Let’s go in and talk.” Hearing Han Buli, Zhao Hai knew that something was going on. He didn’t say anything as he nodded and then went inside with Han Buli.

Upon entering the residence and settling down, Han Buli looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, let me ask you something. Are you the one who gave Zhang Feng his large artifact?”

Zhao Hai stared as he looked at Han Buli. It must be known that only Zhang Feng, Zhang Hao, and himself knew about the large artifact’s origin. Moreover, Zhang Feng killed the other Battle Slaves when he went back to stop any information from spreading. How did Han Buli find out?

But shortly after, Zhao Hai changed his thinking and understood. Han Buli should know Zhang Feng. Only Zhang Feng could tell other people about this matter. Thinking of this Zhao Hai didn’t hide the truth as he smiled and said, “Right, I gifted it to him.”

The reason why Zhao Hai was so sure that Han Buli learned about this matter from Zhang Feng was because he trusted his own means. The Ignored Valley was filled with silver needles. Not only can the needles monitor the region, it also blocked any spiritual force from entering. Even if Zhao Hai made a fuss, it was impossible for people outside to know. So it was impossible for Han Buli to get the information from sources other than Zhang Feng. And Zhao Hai believed that Zhang Feng wouldn’t just share the information with anybody.

Since it was Zhang Feng who passed the information, this meant that Han Buli wasn’t an outsider. At the very least, he was someone from Zhang Feng’s faction. Because of this, Zhao Hai was confident in confirming.

Han Buli didn’t expect Zhao Hai to make such a deep analysis from a few words. He couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “Hahaha, you’re really honest. I didn’t chose my friend wrongly.”
