With that thought in mind, Wang Mang immediately took out his phone and called the officials of the Red Empire.

Not long after, the call was connected.

Wang Mang did not waste any time and straightforwardly said, “1 need your assistance now. 1 am in Yang Gui town and need you to find something for me in half a day!”

An old voice replied, “Lord Guardian Beast, what are you looking for?”

“Yang Gui town is not far from the headquarters of the fifth military region. We can mobilize our forces at any time to assist you, Lord Guardian Beast!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang smiled in satisfaction. The Red Empire was very enthusiastic about helping him with his request.

Wang Mang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Find me a token! The word ‘Immortal’ is engraved on the back of the token!”

“The token is rectangular in shape and golden in color.”

The old voice soon replied, “We have acknowledged your request, Lord Guardian Beast, and will mobilize the military to search for it. Please ensure you are contactable at any time, Lord Guardian Beast.”

“That’s great! When your people arrive, contact me immediately!”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Mang began to think about where the Immortal Chapter was most likely to appear.

Given how ancient it was, it might be considered by whoever owned it as some sort of antique, right?

Wang Mang was hazarding some guesses. He had two initial conjectures. One, that it might be sold as an antique somewhere, while the other was that someone might be keeping it as a family heirloom.

Thinking this, he decided to head toward the town’s antique market to try his luck. However, when he got there, he was completely dumbfounded.

There were no longer any stalls at the antique market.

“What’s going on? Is the antique market closed today?” Wang Mang doubtfully muttered to himself.

Then, he spotted an old man begging for food by the roadside.

Eh?

It was the same old man who had tried to blackmail him after he left the alley!

Good heavens! How long has it been? Had this old man changed professions this quickly?

Wang Mang stepped forward and was prepared to ask the old man a few questions.

However, the old man who had been listlessly begging for food inadvertently spotted Wang Mang as well, and immediately turned white as a sheet.

After confirming that he was not seeing things, the old man stared blankly at Wang Mang and said in a trembling voice, “Greetings, Lord Guardian Beast.”

Wang Mang naturally understood why the old man looked and sounded so terrified.

After all, this old man was one of the few people who dared to scam him!

What a coincidence!

In any case, he was not going to pursue the matter from back then. He simply wanted to inquire about some information.

Thinking this, Wang Mang nodded slightly in acknowledgement and said indifferently, “1 need to ask you for information.”

“Lord Guardian Beast, feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything 1 know!”

The old man nodded in fear.

Of course, he was still very respectful of Wang Mang.

After all, without Wang Mang, Earth would have already been destroyed.

News of the meteorite incident had spread throughout the world, so he naturally knew about it. Thus, like any other citizen of the Red Empire, he revered Wang Mang like a god.

After he found out that the person he was scamming was the National Guardian Beast, he even wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Seeing that the old man was being so cooperative, Wang Mang secretly nodded in satisfaction. Being the National Guardian Beast had its perks after all.

Wang Mang thought for a moment and slowly said, “Have you ever seen a palm-sized, rectangular, golden token with the word ‘immortal’ on the back?”

Hearing this, the old man was momentarily stunned.

Then, to Wang Mang’s astonishment, the old man nodded and said, “Yes! I’ve seen a token like that before.”

“Are you sure?”

Wang Mang’s face was filled with joy as he asked again for confirmation.

The old man nodded nervously.

“I’m sure! I once saw it at an old friend’s house. It’s his family heirloom.”

“His family heirloom is very similar to the token you described, Lord Guardian Beast.”

Wang Mang could barely suppress his excitement and said, “Bring me to it immediately! If it’s what I’m looking for, you’ll be heavily rewarded!”

Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the old man’s eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited.

“Lord Guardian Beast, i’ll bring you there now!”

“You are the guardian of the world and the Red Empire. Even if you don’t give me any benefits, I’m willing to do this much for you.”

Wang Mang was surprised to hear the old man’s words. It seemed that this old man was quite idealistic.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to give up on the promised rewards.

Wang Mang’s impression of the old man improved a lot. He nodded and smiled.

“Lead the way!”

“Yes, Lord Guardian Beast. 1’11 bring you there now.”

Then, the old man led him to an alley, where he pulled out an old bicycle.

“Lord Guardian Beast, please get on.”

Seeing this, Wang Mang was speechless. He asked helplessly, “Is it very far?”

The old man quickly shook his head.

“It’s not far. It’s only about 20 kilometers. We’ll be there in an hour.”

“Give me the address,” Wang Mang said helplessly, “I’ll take you there. Cycling there is too slow.”

The old man thought that Wang Mang was going to hail a taxi, so he quickly pushed the bicycle back into the alley and walked over.

“Lord Guardian God, my old friend lives in Penglou District.”

After that, Wang Mang immediately grabbed the old man’s shoulder and said, “Get ready!”

Then, he unfurled a pair of wings on his back and soared into the sky with the dazed old man.

Half an hour later, Wang Mang located the Penglou District that the old man was talking about.

“Lord Guardian Beast, this is the district!”

“My old friend lives here!”

The old man pointed toward a residential area not far from the entrance of the district. Hearing this, flew over and landed in the residential area.

There, the old man led him to one of the buildings.

After finding the room on the floor where the old man said his old friend lived, the old man knocked on the door and shouted, “Old Jiang! Old Jiang! I’m Old Wu!”

Moments later, the door opened, and a white-haired old man appeared in front of them.

The white-haired old man looked at Wang Mang and the old man in surprise and asked in confusion, “Old Wu, why are you here?”

Old Wu quickly explained, “Old Jiang, 1 want to take a look at that token you treat as a treasure!”

Old Jiang immediately returned to his room.

After a while, he returned with a kitchen knife.

He looked warily at Wang Mang and Old Wu and asked, “What do you want?”
