Chapter 95: Finding

"Ten days ago, my direct superior told me that that son-of-a-bitch Count Sigmo was going to blockade the cities and thoroughfares within his territory, ostensibly to intercept a spy from the Star Luo Empire."

"But in reality, Count Sigmo's own tax evasion attracted an inspection by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire, which in turn exposed his ambition to rebel."

"So he sent people to ambush the Crown Prince's convoy."

"According to the information I gathered, there is a team of powerful Spirit Masters under Count Sigmo, and these Spirit Masters are very abnormal."

"They are all fallen evil Spirit Masters; with a wave of their hands, blood mist fills the air, and they can easily melt a person into a pool of blood."

"However, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had powerful Spirit Masters protecting him, and he escaped from Count Sigmo's subordinates."

"Count Sigmo was afraid that the Crown Prince would return with the Heaven Dou Empire's army after escaping, so he made us pay extra attention to any outsiders who were dressed luxuriously and had never been seen before."

The soldier-thug spilled everything he knew as if beans were pouring from a bamboo tube; as a thug who was not good with words, this was the first time in his life he had discovered he possessed such memory and eloquence.

"My lord, we really, really, really, really don't know anything about the Crown Prince's affairs. I am just a dog under that son-of-a-bitch Count, no, a dog of a dog, none of this has anything to do with me!"

"My lord, please have mercy and let me go!"

"Where is the Crown Prince roughly located?" Zhou Heng asked, gripping the soldier-thug by the throat.

"I, I really don't know. I was just responsible for blocking the perimeter, and I was thinking of making some extra money on the side to supplement my income." The soldier-thug was on the verge of tears, explaining over and over that this matter had nothing to do with him and that he was just a low-level soldier.

Sensing that the other party was not lying, Zhou Heng casually threw the soldier-thug onto the ground.

Looking at the small town he had incapacitated with the colorless and odorless paralytic toxin refined by Dugu Bo, Zhou Heng felt a headache coming on.

It was one thing not to know who his enemies were, but he didn't even know where the person he was supposed to save was, or how to find her.

Even if he were to expose his strength all at once now and conduct a violent search, he might not necessarily fare well in this state.

After all, the one orchestrating this behind the scenes is the Asura God; who knows what kind of beings exist here? If a Super Douluo were to show up, he would be dead for sure.

Qian Renxue should have at least one Title Douluo-level combatant by her side, yet she was hunted by this Count until she had to flee; it's truly hard to know what to say.

Zhou Heng sighed, interrogated a few more soldiers, and after obtaining the defense map, he left the market.

Looking at the map in his hand, Zhou Heng was silent for a moment, then took out a small wooden stick the size of a toothpick from the ground.

Placing the map on the ground, Zhou Heng held the small wooden stick, closed his eyes, and tossed it toward the map.

"Manxing, if you can see this, then give me a hint!"

Zhou Heng said this three or four times, then tossed it casually; the small wooden stick cut through the air and landed outside the map.

Zhou Heng was already prepared to toss it again.

However, a gust of breeze appeared out of nowhere and blew the small wooden stick; the stick, which was supposed to land on the dirt, actually changed its landing spot and landed next to a small city in the northwest of the map.

Zhou Heng looked at where the stick landed; it was a small city named Shicheng.

The stick had landed on a small mountain marked next to Shicheng on the map.

"Manxing, I understand, I'm heading over now."

Zhou Heng put away the map, gathered the clouds and wings again, and flew toward Shicheng.

Shicheng was far from this place; even relying on the clouds and wings, it took Zhou Heng two full days to arrive at Shicheng.

Along the way, Zhou Heng encountered checkpoints and obstacles, as well as squads of patrolling Spirit Masters.

As for those Spirit Master squads, Zhou Heng killed his way through, using his mental power to search their souls and obtain the information he wanted from their minds.

As it stands, Zhou Heng's target is correct; Count Sigmo's main forces are currently in the few cities centered around Shicheng. The hint Manxing gave him should be correct.

If it weren't for the influence of the Rakshasa God's Divine Power here, Zhou Heng would definitely have killed all the obstacles he encountered.

After breaking through several more checkpoints, the soldiers blocking Zhou Heng's path had clearly improved.

These soldiers were fully equipped, clad in iron armor, and were all well-trained personal guards of the lord, along with assassins and spirit-hunting squads hired by Count Glamorgan.

There were also fallen Spirit Masters who had crawled out of nowhere.

As well as subordinates and relatives cultivated by Count Glamorgan.

If Count Glamorgan's rebellion had felt like a joke to Chen Ming before, then the appearance of these people undoubtedly elevated Count Glamorgan from a joke to the level of a ragtag troupe.

Although the strongest Spirit Master among them was already a high-level Soul Emperor with decent strength and a decent martial soul, and there were a large number of Support-type Spirit Masters and soldiers acting as foils.

But Chen Ming's current strength was already that of a Title Douluo with only his first six Soul Rings.

He had no thoughts of avoiding or sneaking in; he just charged straight in and incapacitated this group of people.

Directly utilizing earth-attribute power, countless earth spikes shimmering with a metallic luster and viscous swamps appearing out of thin air easily killed the guys who were obstructing Zhou Heng.

After knocking down over a thousand fully armed soldiers and nearly a hundred Spirit Masters of varying levels, Chen Ming finally broke into the deepest part of the encirclement.

By following the traces on the ground, he finally found Qian Renxue hiding in a cave.

"Senior Sister, come out quickly, let's go now."

Just as Zhou Heng walked into the cave, a sword shadow wreathed in golden flames attacked him.

Zhou Heng looked at this sword shadow, and a golden light appeared on his body; the Indestructible Golden Body ability of his Ultimate Gold was immediately activated.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the golden sword shadow struck Zhou Heng's body, but facing Zhou Heng's Indestructible Golden Body, the golden sword shadow shattered into elements with a crack.

Zhou Heng looked in astonishment at Qian Renxue, who had summoned her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, with blood-red light faintly appearing in her eyes.

"Senior Sister, look clearly, it's me."

Only then did Qian Renxue see clearly that the person in front of her was her grandfather's disciple; she hurriedly took a few steps back while retracting the sword of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

However, she still looked at Zhou Heng with a vigilant expression: "Who exactly are you! How could my Junior Brother appear here? Don't try to trick me!"

Zhou Heng looked at the vigilant Qian Renxue and only felt a splitting headache.
