Chapter 315: Arriving at Hucheng

"Never mind my dog. I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Bai Siyou asked.

"Good news."

"The Eternal Magic Cube deduced 17 locations for this Origin Ancient Artifact. 16 of them are like this fragment—shattered too badly, losing their original power. But there is one with a completeness of over 60%."

"What about the bad news?" Ye Lin asked.

"That half of the Origin Ancient Artifact with over 60% completeness should be in the hands of some living being, because the location is constantly moving. It's uncertain whether it's a human or a demon," Bai Siyou replied.

"Hiss..."

Ye Lin gasped. This was indeed bad news.

If that half of the Origin Ancient Artifact were just scattered elsewhere, it would be enough to just retrieve it.

But the item being in someone else's hands meant it could only be snatched from them.

The opponent's strength was unknown, but thinking about it, being able to control half an Origin Ancient Artifact, their strength couldn't be too bad. This was indeed bad news.

And if it were in the hands of the demon clan, then Ye Lin wouldn't dare to go. Not to mention the Soul-Devouring Empress wanting to kill him, the Imperial Gold Spear in his hand was snatched from a Demon Emperor by Professor Shen.

As long as he dared to appear in the demon clan's sphere of influence, the demon clan that received the news would definitely hunt him down immediately.

"Give me the other 16 addresses first," Ye Lin said.

Bai Siyou was a bit puzzled: "Didn't I make it clear enough? Those 16 places only have fragments; getting them won't have any effect."

"I know, just give them to me."

Bai Siyou, although puzzled, still copied down the 16 address locations and handed them to Ye Lin.

Ye Lin didn't hesitate to send the information to his good father-in-law, Xie Hong, and informed Xie Hong that these 16 places had clues to the Origin Ancient Artifact.

Thinking about it, those useless fragments should be able to give Xie Hong a shot of reassurance; otherwise, he was afraid that if Xie Hong couldn't wait, he would stir up some more trouble for him.

Xie Hong, upon receiving the news, called him "good son-in-law" repeatedly and indicated that he would immediately send people to search these locations.

After stabilizing Xie Hong, Ye Lin looked at Bai Siyou.

"We're going to the last address! Let's go see the situation first, then decide whether to make a move!"

Ye Lin decided to bring Bai Siyou along. Going there might require her Heaven-Derivation ability.

"Alright, give me a few days. I need to arrange things in Bajin City before we set off." Bai Siyou agreed.

Ye Lin nodded.

Time, like the shyness of a boy's first hand-holding, disappeared without a trace in silence.

In the blink of an eye, three days flashed by. Bai Siyou had arranged things in Bajin City, and Guo Qin had also finished his business.

And during the three days of waiting, there was also good news: that half of the Origin Ancient Artifact that kept moving finally stopped moving and stayed in a human city.

This also roughly confirmed that the holder of this half of the Origin Ancient Artifact was very likely a human!

Before setting off, Ye Lin briefly introduced his and Guo Qin's abilities to Bai Siyou, so it would be more convenient for Bai Siyou to strategize.

"Him, Guo Qin, specializes in speed. His speed is very fast. If there's a dangerous place, let him go; he runs fast. But when it involves women, you have to be careful. This guy is extremely lustful and easily ruins things."

Hearing Ye Lin introduce him like this, Guo Qin was instantly unhappy.

"What kind of talk is that! What kind of talk is that! I want to find my lawyer! Is that lust? I'm just easily able to get along with women! I'm a 'friend of women'!"

Ye Lin rolled his eyes. As far as he knew, Guo Qin had been "getting along with women" for the past two days, and after being discovered by the woman's husband, he was almost beaten up by the husband.

"As for me, I kill anyone below Level 80 face-to-face. If no one sees, I can kill anyone below Level 90. Above Level 90, it's uncertain; I haven't fought them, but I can probably run."

"In other words, as long as we don't run into experts above Level 90, there won't be any problems."

Bai Siyou nodded, having a rough idea of the group's strength.

"Let's go."

Under Bai Siyou's lead, the three stepped onto the teleportation array in Qingcheng and headed to the last location Bai Siyou had deduced: Hucheng!

Hucheng was the fourth human city Ye Lin had reached. The city's population was around 2 million.

Although it wasn't as prosperous as Kyoto and Shencheng, it was clearly much better than that godforsaken place, Qingcheng.

The pace of life in Hucheng was very slow. People coming and going could even be seen riding electric scooters side-by-side chatting.

"Let's split up. First, figure out the distribution of forces in Hucheng and all the information, then think about how to find that half of the Origin Ancient Artifact," Bai Siyou said calmly.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Information is the most important thing at any time.

"OK!" X2

The three split up. Ye Lin's target was the underground black market of Hucheng.

Every city had its own dark corners that couldn't be seen in the light. Ye Lin didn't know where Hucheng's underground black market was, but someone did.

Ye Lin went straight to the main road and hailed a taxi. Taxi drivers in every city were basically living maps; as long as you paid enough, you could ask about basically anything.

"Young man, where to?"

The driver was chewing on a toothpick and asked without turning his head.

"Just drive anywhere, master. Just broke up, not in a good mood, just want to go for a ride." Ye Lin sighed faintly and got into the car.

"Yo, can't tell, young man is quite the romantic."

The driver was happy when he heard this. He perfectly grasped the strength of his left foot at the critical point of the clutch, and the car instantly shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Drive!

Drive to the edge of the city!

Anyway, he was charging by the meter, so he definitely wouldn't lose out.

"Young man, how did you break up?" The driver took the initiative to chat.

"Her best friend greened her. She cried very sadly, so I went to comfort her, but not only was she not grateful, she told me to get lost and cursed me as a beast. Sigh! And then we broke up." Ye Lin opened his video-style narration.

"Hm... she's indeed not behaving... hm?"

The driver suddenly widened his eyes.

"Wait! No, young man, wait a second! Her best friend greened her? In other words, you drilled through your girlfriend's best friend?"

"Yeah!" Ye Lin nodded. "I'm very sad now, master. Do you know where there's a place to eat, drink, and play?"

Driver: "......"

Your ex-girlfriend was right; you really are a beast! ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
