Chapter 456 Tianxiang City
```
"If you don't want your eyes, I'd be happy to help dig them out."
Dilys's voice carried an endless chill, and the powerful dignity pressure directly made these Second and Third Tier people tremble.
Casually tossing down two Spirit Crystals, putting away the off-road motorcycle, the two walked into the city gate, and the hundreds of soldiers dared not step forward to stop them anymore.
An Epic existence of the Fifth Tier was not something these small soldiers could provoke.
If others had a fiery temper, a group of soldiers would have just died at the city gate.
Such things were not unheard of, and in the end, the killer just compensated with some Spirit Crystals.
As for the slain soldiers, they couldn't even think of receiving any compensation - it was all embezzled by those above.
In the end, these little soldiers just bullied ordinary subjects, but when faced with a stronger person, they might be beaten to death.
In the Sea of Realms, strength was supreme, and with strength, one truly had free rein.
"Let's have a meal first, then check out a few marketplaces."
Spirit expanded, covering the whole of Tianxiang City under his investigation, and with a few exceptions, nothing was hidden.
Bringing Dilys, they went directly to the biggest restaurant in Tianxiang City – Ziyun Pavilion.
"Tut tut, this antique layout, it seems the owner behind this Ziyun Pavilion has great power."
Even a waiter had a Third Tier cultivation level, and the restaurant manager had a Fourth Tier.
With Zi Liyuan's Eye of Death paired with the Elemental Map, Ziyun Pavilion was like a young lady stripped naked, unable to escape his eyes.
Ziyun Pavilion appeared to have only seven floors, but actually, there were two more secret rooms underground.
This restaurant was constructed according to a nine-floor structure, with two of them buried underground.
Furthermore, each private room in the restaurant was installed with secret compartments and eavesdropping devices.
On the first basement level, there were a full fifty people summarizing and categorizing the collected intelligence. Useful information was recorded and stored, while useless information was directly thrown into a furnace for destruction.
All these intelligence gatherers were Fourth Tier existences, making them a considerable fighting force.
On the second basement level, five people were stationed, all of them with Epic Fifth Tier strength.
To Zi Liyuan, these five felt solid, not the least bit unstable, suggesting they came from a major force with substantial ambitions.
"The biggest restaurant naturally attracts many big clients and valuable intelligence. The forces behind the scenes have substantial foundations."
Accompanied by Dilys, they casually opened a private room and ordered a few specialty dishes, while Zi Liyuan's gaze turned to the room on the left.
Through the map plug-in, eight people were gathered in that room, eating and drinking at that moment.
The reason Zi Liyuan noticed them was that all eight were of Epic Fifth Tier strength, each carrying weapons and wearing official robes. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Eight Epic Fifth Tier figures gathered, still in official robes, made it easy to guess these folks were members of the ten thousand strong Epic army stationed in Tianxiang City.
Through the map plug-in, "seeing" the other side eating and drinking, directly playing with women, it was clear how rampant these guys were in Tianxiang City.
In broad daylight, a group of people played with women in the restaurant's private rooms, where the soundproofing was mediocre at best.
These guys were also unbridled, not even caring to put up a Soundproof Barrier, just to let the surroundings hear and satisfy their perverse preferences.
"The people under the old demon's hand truly are perverts; in future conflicts, not one of such ilk should remain!"
In addition, the seventh floor of Ziyun Pavilion also drew Zi Liyuan's attention.
This floor housed a total of three rooms, each occupied by a black-clad individual. From time to time, someone would sneak over to enter one of the rooms.
These people came to purchase certain pieces of intelligence!
Collecting intelligence, trafficking intelligence, forceful control, colluding with officials, catering to their preferences...
It could only be said that the person operating behind Ziyun Pavilion was talented; however, it was unclear which major force they hailed from.
As they ate, they paid attention to the situation, especially regarding how to enter the seventh floor to purchase intelligence.
"Waiter, bring a pot of good wine."
"Certainly, sir, please wait a moment; I'll bring it to you right away."
The recent surveillance led Zi Liyuan to discover that those who could go up to the seventh floor to purchase intelligence were all led by Ziyun Pavilion waiters.
"Sir, here's the pot of good wine you ordered - Immortal Drunk, please enjoy."
The waiter served a small tray on which sat a Jade Pot, from whose mouth a rich wine aroma wafted, intoxicating enough merely from a sniff to make one feel like floating.
"Waiter, what are the requirements to go up to the seventh floor?"
Casually, he took out ten Spirit Crystals, placed them on the table, and as he poured a Wine Gu for himself and Dilys, he slowly inquired.
"Sir, you've asked the right person. If you wish to go up, I'm willing to show you the way."
The waiter's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, with a hint of flattery that didn't bear any abject servility.
"We just entered the city not long ago, and Ziyun Pavilion has already received the news, as expected, not simple."
The waiter's words indicated that Zi Liyuan met the conditions for going up to the seventh floor.
But it was Dilys and Zi Liyuan's first time here, with the other side already possessing some of their information. Clearly, this major force had already grasped some of their intel.
There's a great chance that Dilys's dragon might at the city gate, coupled with the aura of an Epic Boss at the Fifth Tier, caught the attention of some factions in Tianxiang City.
"We'd like to trouble you to wait a moment, waiter. After we finish our meal, we would like you to take us up."
