As the group was moving, Zi You suddenly transmitted her voice to Ling:

“Those people are bound by a strange force, and it won’t be easy for us to rescue them.”

The sudden sound made Zero instinctively look towards Zi You.

But she remained silent, her expression unchanged. Just as he was wondering what was going on, Zi You transmitted her voice again:

"I'm using telepathy, so no one else can hear me. We can talk without worry."

Ling blinked, unsure how to tell Zi You that she didn't possess this skill...

Zi You seemed to understand Ling's hesitation and continued to transmit her voice:

"Can't you use telepathy?"

There was a slight chuckle in his voice.

Zero nodded, accepting the fact that he knew nothing.

"Sound transmission is actually very simple. Anyone with spiritual power can use it for secret transmission. And this secret transmission means that those with lower strength than you will not hear the conversation. Similarly, if there is someone with higher strength than you around, your conversation will be transmitted to their ears word for word."

"However, there is absolutely no problem here. The man in the black robe is far weaker than us, so he cannot hear our conversation."

Ziyou explained everything to Lingting, and then told him the method of transmitting sound.

Zero was already clever, and the method was indeed simple. As soon as Zi You finished speaking, she heard Zero's reply.

“You just said that if our strength is not as high as the man in the black robe, he will know the content of our telepathic communication. So it’s not feasible for us to ask those people about the cause and effect of the matter…”

"Yes, so we need to find out the purpose of the man in the black robe through other means."

"Where do you think he'll take us?"

"Just ask them and you'll find out!"

After Zi You finished speaking, she pretended to be a young lady from a wealthy family and asked Jiang Quan for information.

"Sir, since you were able to lead us out, you must know the route around here, right?"

Jiang Quan knew she was just curious, so he didn't hide anything and told her the truth:

“That’s right. I not only know the way around here, I’m very familiar with it. So you’ve come to the right place by following me!”

Zi You's eyes darted around, and she asked again:

"So you're also from the upper realm?"

If they are also from the upper realm, then their purpose needs to be carefully considered...

Jiang Quan turned and glanced at her, then nodded and said:

"Yes."

"Then why did you come down here, uncle?"

Jiang Quan Gang sensed something was wrong. Why was this girl asking so many questions? Then he heard Zi You continue:

Are you also here to visit the mortal realm?

The innocent eyes seemed to truly stem from curiosity.

Jiang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and made up an excuse:

"We're not here for sightseeing; we're here to do business."

"peddler?"

“That’s right. As you all know, the resources in the lower realm are far less abundant than those in the upper realm. Our master is kind and virtuous, and decided to send us down to transport some supplies to the lower realm.”

Zi You looked at the empty-handed team and asked in confusion:

"What about your supplies?"

Jiang Quan's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to say something, Zi You continued:

"I see! You're planning to go back, right? That's why you gave us a ride, isn't it, sir? Did I guess right?"

Zi You looked at Jiang Quan with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Jiang Quan could only go along with her and continue the conversation to cover up the clues in his previous words:

"Yes, young lady, we have completed the transaction and are about to head back."

Why is everyone on your team silent except for you?

Zi You suddenly asked another question.

"They were all bought mute slaves, born unable to speak."

Jiang Quanlian's hand, hidden under his robe, twitched. Suddenly, the expressionless crowd's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile more painful than tears, and they all looked at Ling and Ziyou.

Looking at that forced smile, Zi You chuckled and said:

Were they greeting me?

"Yes, they are not good at communicating, but they mean no harm..."

Ling and Ziyou exchanged a glance. If they hadn't known there was a conspiracy involved, they would have almost believed Jiang Quan's words and the reactions of the others!

After Jiang Quan finished speaking, he was unwilling to say anything more, perhaps afraid of saying the wrong thing and arousing suspicion, or perhaps he felt that Zi You talked too much and did not want to communicate with her...

In short, the team returned to its initial state of silence.

"It seems we can't get any information out of them just by talking..."

Ling frowned and transmitted his voice to Zi You.

"I didn't expect this person, who looks a bit slow, to actually be quite intelligent."

Zi You replied with some regret.

zero:"……"

Zi You continued:

"However, in doing so, we lose the initiative."

Zero nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Now we can only take it one step at a time."

Just as Zi You was about to nod, the Spirit Stone in her arms suddenly moved.

She held it carefully in her palm, and for some reason, she felt that the stone seemed interested in the power emanating from those people…

"Why not give it a try!"

When Ziyou shared her findings with Zero, she received an answer that aligned with her own thoughts.

Looking around, and seeing that the man in the black robe had no intention of watching them, Zi You also had her own ideas.

"Listen, we're here to help you. If you trust us, no matter what happens next, don't speak. I'm using telepathy now, so don't make a sound..."

Zi You transmitted her voice to the nearest Black Dragon Clan member, telling him to keep quiet.

Although the people didn't understand why someone would come to help them, they were at their wits' end and could only believe Zi You's words.
