"Oh, why are you so sure?" Zuan asked curiously.
"Because the scepter has always been in the hands of the Demon Emperor. In that battle, the Demon Emperor died on the battlefield, and at the last moment, he directly self-destructed, killing a large number of demons. At that time, he was deep in the demon camp, so the scepter naturally fell into the hands of the demons as well," the Holy Maiden continued to explain. "Moreover, the demon race has a kind of sensing ability for that scepter. If it were in the hands of a certain demon, we could sense it. But for so long, there has been no trace of that scepter, which proves that it is indeed in the hands of the demons."
"However, we do not know whether it is in the hands of the Lord of Slaughter, the Lord of Demons, or some other demon."
Zuan nodded secretly. As long as he confirmed that the scepter was with the demons, that would be fine. Since he was going to find the Demon Lord anyway, he could take the opportunity to inquire and find out what it was.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden suddenly asked, "Brother Zu, you mentioned earlier that you came to this spacetime fragment with your sisters. Where are they?"
“I was just about to ask you this,” Zuan said with a serious expression. “Haven’t you seen Da Manman these past few days?”
"Sister Pei?" The Holy Maiden was taken aback, then shook her head immediately, "No, why would you ask that?"
Zuan's heart sank: "Because back then we split into several groups to do our own things. Jiang Luofu and Yun Yuqing took Xiaoxi to find the Glass Hairpin Flower, Soren Shi stayed behind to guard the future Mogade, Salami, and others, while Da Manman's task was to contact the remaining resistance forces of the demon race. She even said at the time that it would be best to contact you, the Holy Maiden."
She should have realized this sooner. If the two of them had met, Xie Daoyun would have recognized each other. It's impossible that she hadn't mentioned it for so long.
The saintess also paled and asked about the location and time of their parting, concluding that they should have arrived here long ago.
"Could something have happened to Sister Pei?"
Zu An shook his head slightly: "Manman's cultivation level is not low now, and she also has various protective magic treasures on her body. She should have no problem protecting herself. She probably encountered something else along the way."
Even as he said this, he couldn't help but feel worried.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden suddenly said, "Brother Zu, don't panic, I'll send someone to investigate right away."
He hurriedly called his men in: "Immediately send men to investigate all the surrounding areas. Have you seen a human girl surnamed Pei come looking for me recently? Miss Pei is extremely beautiful, and..."
She originally wanted to say it was very big, but felt that such a description seemed a bit vulgar, so she changed her words to: "It is also very impressive. If anyone has seen it, they will definitely not forget it."
"Yes, Holy Maiden!" The subordinate hurriedly accepted the order and left.
The Holy Maiden then came to Zu An's side and gently comforted him, "Brother Zu, don't worry, Sister Pei is a lucky person and will be blessed by heaven."
Zuan nodded slightly, still feeling somewhat flustered.
They had originally planned to set off to find the Lord of Demons, but now they clearly had no intention of going.
Fortunately, that very evening, the subordinate brought news: "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, a woman who looks very much like the one you described came from a small town three hundred miles to the southwest. She was also inquiring about the Holy Maiden."
"Where is she?" Zu'an asked hurriedly.
The subordinate shook his head slightly: "I don't know. The information we have so far is that she was heading in this direction, but no one has seen her since."
Zuan frowned immediately. Three hundred miles might be a long distance for ordinary people, but for Manman, it was actually very close. What had happened to keep her from coming here?
"Brother Zu, don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate again right away. There's a living person like her, we're sure we can find her whereabouts." The Holy Maiden hurriedly came to Zu An's side to comfort him.
Zuan shook his head slightly: "No need, I'll go myself."
After inquiring about the exact location of the town, it soared into the sky and flew in that direction.
Soon the Holy Maiden chased after her: "Brother Zu, I'll go with you."
Zu'an noticed the demon clan members who had rushed out after hearing the news and said in a deep voice, "Your identity is special. If you leave rashly, there may be some unpredictable consequences."
“That town isn’t far from here, so my trip shouldn’t have too much of an impact. But I still need to tell them first, Brother Zu, could you please wait for me a little while?” The saintess’s face was full of apology.
Zuan nodded. Although he was extremely anxious, he knew that a moment's delay wouldn't make a difference.
Moreover, there had just been a conflict with the demon race during the day. If they were to leave now with the Holy Maiden, it might cause misunderstandings. If the demon race were to lose morale because of this, it would be troublesome to fight against the demons later.
The saintess hurriedly flew down and spoke anxiously with everyone for a while.
Fortunately, the whole process didn't take long, and she quickly arrived at Zu An's side: "Brother Zu, let's go."
"Thank you so much, little sister Ling'er," Zu An said with some emotion.
“Brother Zu, you’re being too polite. I’m also worried about Sister Pei. Besides, she went missing on my territory, so I definitely have to do my part.” The moonlight shone on the Holy Maiden’s face, and her skin seemed to glow with a layer of crystalline moonlight. Zu An thought to himself, no wonder so many demons worship her so much; she truly possessed a kind of divinity.
Zuan took her hand, and the two quickly flew towards the small town.
At his speed, he arrived at his destination in no time.
The town wasn't very big, but perhaps because it was located on a major thoroughfare and close to the demon race's current stronghold, it was quite prosperous.
Even at night, you can see many figures on the street, from all races, including merchants from all over the world, as well as cultivators, adventurers, and treasure hunters.
