Chapter 282: Equal Transaction, Li Muxuan's Signs Revealed
When Xu San and Xu Si arrived at Trinity Gate for the first time, they felt relaxed and refreshed. The air here was completely different from the air in the bustling cities outside. Staying here made them feel their bodies relax unconsciously.

The sky is full of stars and the moon is bright. The towering palaces are illuminated by the frosty silver moonlight, looking ancient and sacred.

Xu San and Xu Si were gradually becoming absorbed in watching, but suddenly their eyes flickered and the scene changed, and they appeared on the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository.

Several white-haired warriors sitting in front of them sat on the ground around a young man in black with pious and respectful expressions. The other party's identity was self-evident. Xu San and Xu Si immediately bowed and said:

"We two juniors, Xu San and Xu Si, greet Xuan Zun and all the seniors."

"sit."

Jiang Mo smiled at them and motioned Zhuge Yu to pour tea for the guests.

"Thanks."

"Please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."

The Xu brothers took the teacups and seemed a little reserved. The elder who was talking to them was undoubtedly a legend who stood at the top of the world's extraordinary people.

The other seniors also had terrifyingly high status and unfathomable strength, more terrifying than any leader of a major sect or school they had ever seen before.

Although the Xu brothers were extraordinary people, their cultivation level had not even reached the grandmaster level. They were a world away from the Trinity disciples present and did not dare to put on airs.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Mo remembered these two young men. He had seen them in the battle of Longhu Mountain. Knowing that they were from the company, he simply skipped the unnecessary steps and said:

"No need for the red tape. Just tell us your terms. Do you want us to owe you a favor, or to help you, or to take away the Eight Wonders?"

Jiang Mo was not surprised that they had control over Li Muxuan's whereabouts. With the company's nationwide intelligence network, it was natural for them to do so.

"Please bear with me for this."

Jiang Mo's directness surprised Xu San and Xu Si. At this point, there was no need for them to hide anything, so they spoke openly:
"Feng Baobao, the little girl you know who was created by the Eight Wonders disappeared some time ago and her whereabouts are currently unknown. We would like to ask you and Senior Zhuge from the sect to see if there is any way to rescue her?"

"I'm not a warlock, there's no way."

Jiang Mo admitted that Xu San and Xu Si froze in place, seeming to be very surprised that the living gods who they had placed the greatest hopes on were actually helpless.

The two of them looked to the other disciples for help, hoping to find another way from Senior Zhuge.

"I can't do that now."

Zhuge Yu smiled helplessly and explained the reason:

"Divination is against the will of heaven. It seeks a corner of the future development of the world. When my cultivation was still weak, my status was lighter than a feather. Even if I knew some information obtained out of selfish desires, the impact on the world as a whole was so small that it could be ignored."

"Now that I have achieved great success in my cultivation, my status is comparable to that of a mountain. Any divination I make will have a serious impact on the changes in the world. From the very beginning, the whole world has disapproved of it. The more I try to obtain information, the more vague the information I get. This is the unique restriction imposed on us sorcerers by the world that nurtures all living things and maintains the order and balance of the world."

"Is this so"

Xu San and Xu Si clenched their fists slightly. Zhuge Yu's words calmed their overheated heads a little.

Yes, if the other party really knew the whereabouts of Feng Baobao, why would they allow Li Muxuan to live for more than seventy years? This does not make sense logically.

"However, there is a shortcut, but you will have to bear the cost yourself."

Just when they felt lost, Zhuge Yu gave them new hope.

"I can help you two enter the inner scene and find the answers you want. As for how much you have to pay, it all depends on your courage."

"Senior, is this possible?"

Xu San's expression was moved, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Ah."

Zhuge Yu gave them a detailed introduction to the inner scene's inquiry process and instructed them:
"Remember to do things within your ability. Some things are destined. What you can open will open naturally. There is no need to struggle for what you can't open. Just do it with confidence. I will protect the safety of your body and soul."

"Thank you, Senior Zhuge!!!"

The problem now fell on Xu San and Xu Si. The news about Feng Baobao was very close to them. Whether they had the ability to crack it depended entirely on their cultivation of "sexuality".

"This is what we agreed on. Please have Xuanzun and the seniors take a look at it."

Xu Si handed over a printed document with both hands, which detailed the information the company had collected related to Li Muxuan.

"Let's get things done first."

Jiang Mo took the document and placed it on the desk, not in a hurry to read it. He firmly believed that there was no free lunch in the world, and he did not want to owe the company any favors. He would wait until this relationship was over before reading it.

"Two young men, sit down and empty your mind and body. It will only take a moment."

Zhuge Yu reassured them not to be nervous, and the moment they closed their eyes, he dragged them into Xu San's inner scene, where everything was gray, like a wasteland on a cloudy day.

"Wow!"

As the thought of finding Feng Baobao's whereabouts emerged, a huge fireball appeared in front of Xu San and Xu Si.

"Senior, can you really open it?" Xu Si's eyelids trembled and his mouth felt dry. This fireball was five or six times larger than his body. Even if he and Xu San joined forces, they might not be able to break it.

"Senior, can you please..."

Seeing Xu San had some thoughts, Zhuge Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Can I still fool you? Watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Yu reached out to touch the fireball containing Feng Baobao's information, and it suddenly expanded dozens of times, so exaggerated that it looked like a daytime sun falling from the sky.

"Boom!!!"

Zhuge Yu's five fingers burst out with terrifying inch-force, instantly tearing the entire fireball into pieces. It collapsed like a bubble, the flames dissipated, but it was empty, without a trace of useful information.

"The rules of the world permeate every corner, even in your inner world. Even if I try to help, it is meaningless because the whole world is against my behavior."

"No matter how many fireballs I tear apart, they won't contain the information you want. Instead, the difficulty will increase exponentially, so... do it yourself."

"I understand, thank you."

Xu San smiled helplessly. He still had to shoulder the final step by himself. The laws of nature would not allow him to cheat in the slightest.

With a "boom!", the fireball reignited, still the same size as at the beginning, filled with blazing flames. Just getting close to the soul would cause burning pain.

Thinking that Zhuge Yu would back them up, the two brothers risked their lives, gritted their teeth, stepped forward, gathered strength in their souls, and began to bombard fireballs.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

The gravel around that had been carved by Xu San's Qi floated into the air one after another, bursting out at an extreme speed, but it was like a drop in the ocean, unable to cause any waves.

Xu Si transformed his Qi into a nunchaku, which he wielded like flowing water, swiftly and fiercely. The dense blades of the stick overlapped and hit the surface of the fireball.

Soon, the nunchaku broke, Xu Si's mouth was torn open, bleeding profusely, his face turned extremely pale, and his physical and spiritual power were depleted by more than half.

Xu San's situation was also bad. The telekinesis he relied on to control all objects to attack was of no avail. Instead, he himself was so tired that his limbs were weak and he was gasping for breath.

The attacks of the two were completely ineffective. Xu San carved a mark on the surface of the fireball again and exerted all his strength to slowly lift it up more than 50 meters in the air. His legs and feet were trembling and he had reached the limit of the load. He suddenly released his telekinesis and the fireball falling from the sky smashed the ground but remained intact.

This scene made the brothers Xu San and Xu Si, who already had little confidence, completely despair. The answer was right in front of them, but they had no ability to get it. The feeling of powerlessness surged into their bodies and minds like a tide.

In the distance, Zhuge Yu watched this scene silently, his thoughts going back to half a century ago. Once upon a time, he was so embarrassed when he was trying to find the truth about his parents' disappearance. Even if he tried his best, he had to go through more than a hundred failures before he could get what he wanted.

Xu San and Xu Si were not sorcerers, so the outcome was already determined. If they couldn't break the fireball, it was like hitting a rock with an egg.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhuge Yu looked at the two exhausted people and gave them a hint:
"Give up. With your level of cultivation, it is impossible to open this fireball. The best option for you is to stop here and settle for the next best thing. Asking something else may not be so difficult."

"."

Xu San remained silent, while Xu Si followed his advice wisely. He knew that using brute force alone would not be enough to break through. Immediately, he asked himself another question in his heart. He needed to at least make sure whether the baby was still alive.

"boom!"

This time, a smaller fireball appeared out of thin air in front of them, with a diameter of less than one meter, greatly reducing the difficulty.

"San'er, try again."

"it is good."

The two brothers rested for a while and then took action again, smashing the small fireball into pieces in one fell swoop. Wisps of purple light mist overflowed from it and dissipated when they touched their hands. At the same time, the exact news was also imprinted in their minds.

Zhuge Yu pulled their consciousness back to the real world. The two were sweating profusely, their bodies were shaking like sieves, and their heads were dizzy. They hadn't recovered for a while.

"Found it?" Jiang Mo asked.

"No." Zhuge Yu spread his hands helplessly.

"It's far from enough. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you and the other seniors, but it's worth the trip."

Xu San pointed to the document on the tea table with his trembling right hand and said:

"There is some content that you may be interested in, please check it out."

"Anything else you want? Judging from your current state, you haven't gotten the truth you want. I won't take advantage of you. Since this is an equal transaction, you can make one reasonable request."

Jiang Mo opened the document and Cheng Zhen stared at it. They both saw the old photo for the first time, as well as the area where Li Muxuan was active, the overseas Nasen Island.

The two men did not show much emotion, they just looked around calmly. For them, knowing the approximate coordinates was enough, and it would not take much effort to kill a remnant.

"May I ask Xuanzun, Senior Zhuge, whether we can still use your help to enter the inner scene trial in the future?"

"Okay." Jiang Mo promised.

"That's enough. Thank you and all the seniors."

Xu San secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they kept this clue, they wouldn't have to search around the world like headless flies.
