CHAPTER 1550 KEY TO DECODING

These reclusive clan elders were all important people in the clan, so they could be exchanged for quite a bit of resources. But now Jiang Ning was going to let them leave after writing a few words.

"They're not worth much," said Jiang Ning. "If I could get anything out of keeping them here, the reclusive clans would have sent people here by now. I'm afraid that the role of an elder is really to sacrifice themselves for their clans."

"As for whether they want to leave or not, that's up to them." With that, Brother Gou went to make arrangements.

Jiang Ning took the words from Sima Gang and went straight to Butler Zhao.

Lu Jing was still very immersed in his work at his research center.

When he saw the words that Jiang Ning brought to him, he looked like he had just been struck by lightning. His eyes and mouth were wide open and his breathing quickened from being too excited.

"These words...” he looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief. "Where did you get these words from?"

He paused for a moment, then asked again, "Jiang Ning, are you saying that my guess was right? That these symbols are actually words and they were really in use once upon a time?"

Jiang Ning nodded. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Professor Lu, I'll try to get you more words, but I'll have to count on you to decode them and discover everything there is to know about them," laughed Jiang Ning. "I'm not very cultured and I don't know any of these things."

Lu Jing shook his head profusely.

"You are cleverer than everybody else!"

He gently touched the words with great excitement. It was as if every stroke told a tale of its own, and had a history of its own!

"Don't worry, the one thing that I want to do most and that I have to do in my lifetime is to make a full discovery of this matter! Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Lu ding's voice was so excited that it was trembling.

Of course he was excited!

One 'Fang' had opened the doors to a new world, and these additional words had confirmed his guess, so the direction of his research was correct.

He needed more time and more information now, while Jiang Ning would get him the resources he needed. If he still couldn't decode it after all this help, he would be too ashamed to face Jiang Ning.

"Alright then, continue with what you were busy with, let me know once you get anything."

Jiang Ning didn't stay for too long and left after a few words.

Butler Zhao was already waiting for him at the door.

His information network didn't just cover Donghai or just the areas near to Donghai. It wasn't limited to the north or Shenghai or within China, but he also had information overseas.

But right now, Butler Zhao knew that Jiang Ning's focus was on the deep forests of Mount Zhongnan.

But it was too hard to infiltrate those places.

The clans were very well-guarded against outsiders and would not let anyone who wasn't a clan member to enter.

"Mr Jiang,” said Butler Zhao. "We're still unable to monitor Mount Zhongnan. These clans only allow their family members to go in and out, so it's hard for us to send anyone in."

"Do you have a better way of doing this?”

"There's no need to go in, just keep watch from the outside. They won't dare to come out for the time being," said Jiang Ning. "Just watch for anyone who actually comes down the mountain. As for what

sort of internal conflict the clans would go through, that's their own business."

He knew that after what happened in Donghai, all eight reclusive clans would be on high alert and become wary of Donghai.

Jiang Ning knew that he still needed the reclusive clans to exist if he wanted to find out the secret of the map behind the manual. The key to decoding all of this was in the hands of these eight clans!

"What we have to do is to get that key to decoding the map from them. The rest is unimportant," Jiang Ning turned to look at Butler Zhao. "I'm sure the secret behind the manual is not simple at all. Otherwise, my Master wouldn't have sacrificed himself. I must get to the bottom of this."
