Gong Yafu was still a little hesitant:
"But when he finds out, he'll scold me."
Ao Chen said confidently:
"I'll just say I sensed it myself. He doesn't know how far I can sense it now, so I won't expose you!"
"Hurry, hurry, as long as it's not too far, I can be back before he wakes up."
"Ms. Ao, this is not good. You can't do this without the leader's order."
Huyan Lie stopped Gong Yafu from cooperating with Ao Chen. He didn't want Gong Yafu to be punished for this.
"Hey, why are you so timid?"
Ao Chen frowned, very dissatisfied with Hu Yanlie's obstruction.
"I already said I won't expose Sister Yafu, and this is for the good of our entire base!"
"You all saw the last battle. Only my brother, Sister Xiyao, and Sister Xia were able to participate in the peak battle. We could only watch from below."
"Sister Xiyao and Sister Xia were so exhausted that they nearly died. If we could fuse our Zanpakuto like them, even if we don't have Sister Xiyao's divine-level burst, we would at least be qualified to participate in battles of that level!"
"You all know that the Void Cave outside has opened again. Although my brother killed several immortal corpses, there are still three or four left. This means that next time we will face at least four enemies of that level! But we only have three peak combat forces now, which is obviously not enough!"
Ao Chen's words moved Gong Yafu, and she said to Hu Yanlie:
"Brother Lie, I think Chenchen is right. The leader is not letting us go out treasure hunting for our safety."
"But who doesn't fight with all their might?"
"Since we have the ability to treasure hunt and enhance our base, why not use it?"
"Perhaps this treasure hunt will save our lives in the next war."
"Even if I get punished for this, I think it's worth it."
"But..."
Hu Yanlie wanted to say something, but seeing Ao Chen here, some things could not be said directly.
Moreover, Gong Yafu did not give him any chance to refute. She directly entered the human-beast form, used the power of the phantom beast to spit out the Mani Pearl, and made a wish to the Mani Pearl.
Her abilities have also awakened, expanding the range of treasures she can obtain from making wishes.
This time, the purpose of her wish was to find out the location of the refreshed Zanpakuto closest to the Yanhuang base.
I soon got feedback in my mind, and the Mani Pearl disappeared.
She said to Ao Chen with a look of surprise: "Chenchen! It's really not far from us!"
She told the direction and distance: "I'll go with you!"
But Ao Chen refused her request to go with him: "No, you are not as fast as me, and your ability to survive is not as strong as mine. If we go together, it will delay the progress. It is better for me to go alone."
Gong Yafu wanted to take care of her, so that if she encountered an enemy, she could also help Ao Chen share the enemy's pressure.
However, Ao Chen was not going there to fight. If she encountered an enemy, she would not start a fight but would just run away.
Hu Yanlie also said: "Xiaoya, you will become a burden if you follow Miss Ao. Miss Ao can run away at any time. If you are brought along, she will have no choice but to fight."
Only then did Gong Yafu give up the idea of going with Ao Chen.
Ao Chen said to her again:
"Sister Yafu, please check if there are any other Zanpakutō nearby. I came back safely all the way!"
Gong Yafu then took out a few more Mani Orbs to search for the locations of other Zanpakuto.
After a long time, she opened her eyes:
"There's another one nearby. The others are too far away. This one isn't that close, and it's not on the same route as the other one. Even if you spend a day and a night, it'll be difficult to get back."
Sure enough, there is more!
Ao Chen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sister Yafu! I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, she transformed into thunder and rushed towards the north gate.
At the city gate, the one guarding here today is Yuan Fei.
"Sister Chen? What's wrong?"
Yuan Fei thought Ao Chen was going to assign him a task.
"Hurry up and open the door, Xiao Fei! There are two more Zanpakuto not far from here. I'll go get them back!"
Ao Chen ordered Yuan Fei to open the door, but Yuan Fei refused.
"I didn't receive any orders from Brother Xin?"
Yuan Fei wanted to enter the God-given network to ask Ao Xin if he wanted to open the door, but was stopped in time by Ao Chen.
"My brother is in seclusion now! He has handed over command to me, and now my orders are my brother's orders!"
But Yuan Fei still didn't open the door:
"That won't work. Brother Xin said that the gate can only be opened with his order. Without his order, even if zombies or gods attack the city, we can only defend on the city walls and are not allowed to go out without permission!"
Yuan Fei firmly rejected Ao Chen's order.
"you!"
Ao Chen said angrily, "If you don't open the door, I will remove you from your position as captain!"
Yuan Fei remained unmoved: "Sister Chen, you can remove my position, but as long as I am still here, I will not open the door without Brother Xin's order! Besides, the other gatekeepers will not open the door for you!"
Seeing that he refused to listen, Ao Chen stomped his feet in anger.
It was impossible for her to really resign from Yuan Fei's position. If she acted like this, she would definitely be scolded when Ao Xin woke up.
Ao Chen didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to get out at all.
She decided to try a different approach, so she softened her attitude, looked at Yuan Fei eagerly, and begged:
"Xiao Fei, just let me out. I'll be back soon. My brother definitely won't know about this!"
"Besides, I'm doing this for the sake of our base. Our strength has been reduced. Seeing Sister Xiyao and Sister Xia overdrawn, and we are unable to go up and help, don't you want to become stronger so that you can share more of the pressure for my brother when the next war starts?"
"What if I find a Zanpakutō that's a perfect match for you? If you fuse the Yuwang Spear with it, even if you can't kill a monster of the level of the God Clan like Erskat, at least you can hold him back, right?"
"Isn't it just a little punishment for the sake of strengthening our base?"
"For example, let's say the gods outside have a way to directly threaten my brother from outside, like a curse or something, and you discovered it, would you take the initiative to open the door and stop him?"
Yuan Fei said: "Yes!"
Ao Chen was delighted when he heard this, knowing there was something going on:
"But you will be punished for opening the door without permission. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
Yuan Fei said, "Don't be afraid! I'm willing to bear any punishment that comes my way as long as I can help Brother Xin."
"That's right!"
Ao Chen clapped his hands and laughed:
"I'll bring back these two Zanpakutō, and our strength will be even greater. By the next war, maybe you'll have the strength to fight against Erskat, and Sister Xiyao won't have to overdraw her lifespan like this. In fact, if the enemy is even stronger in the next war, Sister Xiyao might die from completely overdrawing her lifespan, and my brother might even be defeated."
"But if we had these two Zanpakutō, perhaps the battle situation would be completely different!"
