Since that man dared to stop me, he has to pay the price.

As Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi walked, Chen Zhou glanced back and found that the people behind them had dispersed, and he could no longer find that person. It seemed that the person had also disappeared into the crowd.

"Did that person leave?" Yuan Ziyi asked subconsciously, not expecting this person to be so troublesome this time.

"I don't know, anyway, we can't see him clearly anymore. He must have disappeared into the crowd," Chen Zhou said after thinking for a moment, not keeping the person in mind and putting him out of his mind.

The two of them didn't say anything more after that, focusing their attention on how to find Wo Wan.

After entering the capital city, Chen Zhou finally realized its size. As soon as they crossed the large archway, a wide street appeared before them.

A very wide avenue stretched out before them, with another road leading directly ahead, though not as wide as the one currently blocking their way. In short, the two had entered a crossroads.

At this moment, the crossroads appeared in front of the two of them, and neither of them knew which way to go.

Just then, a man walked up to Chen Zhou and the others. He was an old man with gray hair. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted Chen Zhou's attention, because the old man's gaze remained fixed on Chen Zhou for a moment.

For some reason, Chen Zhou felt uneasy under the old man's gaze.

"Don't you two know where you're going?" the old man asked.

Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi exchanged a glance. After confirming that Yuan Ziyi did not recognize the old man, Chen Zhou immediately replied, "Given the current situation, that is indeed the case. May I ask who you are?"

"I advise you to enter this market as soon as possible. You've offended that man, and he'll be coming for you with his men soon. If you don't want trouble, run away immediately. It's too easy for him to find you if you stand here," the old man kindly advised.

The old man came specifically to remind Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi.

"Thank you, we understand. May I ask your name?" Chen Zhou asked slowly.

"Just call me Old Huang," the man who called himself "Old Huang" replied. Chen Zhou silently memorized the name and immediately said, "Thank you, Old Huang. Would you like to come with us?"

“That’s fine then. I’m going into this market now, let’s go in together,” said Old Huang.

Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi exchanged another glance, then followed Elder Huang into the market. They both carefully examined every corner of the market.

Now that we've come to this capital city, we should search carefully.

They currently have no leads on Wo Wan, and they must find all the clues themselves. Yuan Ziyi, on the other hand, pays special attention to the shops run by women in this market, because all the soldiers in the ninth layer of the army who entered this eighth layer are women, so the forces in the eighth layer must also be entirely composed of women.

Even if they weren't all women, women certainly made up the majority.

This is the only clue they can think of regarding that force.

"Is this the first time either of you has entered this capital city?" Old Huang said casually.

Chen Zhou was still unfamiliar with this Old Huang, and had no intention of revealing the truth to him. He immediately said, "No, that's not it."

"Then why do you seem so unfamiliar with this place?" Old Huang asked curiously. His curiosity was very natural, and his words revealed a sense of bewilderment, without anything strange about it.

“Because we don’t come here very often, we stay in Ningwuzhuang,” Chen Zhou continued in his reply.

“Ningwuzhuang? That seems quite far from here,” the old man continued.

Chen Zhou nodded slightly. Continuing to wander aimlessly through this market like a headless fly wasn't a solution; it seemed they had to think of another way.

"Elder Huang, do you have a map of this capital city?" Chen Zhou asked.

“You need a map? I remember there are some for sale up ahead. Come with me,” Old Huang said after thinking for a moment.

Immediately, Elder Huang led the two forward. This market town had many shops, many of which Chen Zhou had never seen before, including shops that built houses. However, most of them were weapon shops, selling swords, spears, and the like.

To Chen Zhou's astonishment, he even spotted a shop that specialized in selling drugs, suggesting that the capital city was truly a melting pot of all sorts of people.

The people at the poison shop were still coming and going, and they must all have ulterior motives. It seems that even eating in this capital city requires caution, or you might be murdered and have your license stolen.

Old Huang led the two of them quickly, and soon they arrived at a shop. The old man found a map with ease and handed it to Chen Zhou. Then he took out his token and swiped it over the shopkeeper's token, sending a magic coin.

It seems that people here use magic coins for transactions. When two tokens come into contact, they can choose the appropriate magic coins to transfer.

"Elder Huang, how can you pay?" Chen Zhou said unhappily, and immediately prepared to take out his token to return it.

Just then, Old Huang walked up to Chen Zhou in a strange manner, shoving him and saying, "No need, no need, it's nothing."
