Zuan and the Holy Maiden exchanged a glance, and the Holy Maiden hurriedly pointed to someone: "Where did you see her?"
“I was outside the town when she was about to enter. Then she encountered a group of adventurers from out of town,” the man said, feeling extremely honored that the saintess had mentioned him. He hurriedly began to recount the story. “The adventurers saw that she was beautiful and had evil intentions. They went up to harass her, but they were quickly killed by the girl.”
When he recounted the scene, a look of fear appeared on his face.
Zuan hurriedly inquired about some details of the battle, and the other party replied with a pale face: "Black fire, that fire was terrifying. Those adventurers who got a little bit on it could not put it out and their bodies were quickly burned to ashes."
Zuan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that it really was Manman. That was her innate Black Flame. The fact that she used such a heavy hand meant that those adventurers were indeed courting death.
"And then what?"
"I didn't dare look anymore and ran away. I don't know where she went next," the man said with a smirk. "But with her strength, she shouldn't be in any danger, right?"
“I know where he went. She later went into town and even bought a string of candied hawthorns on the street,” someone else said.
Zuan couldn't help but smile. Manman may have a mature and glamorous appearance, but she still has a girlish side.
"Later, she was over at the overpass, seemingly inquiring about the Holy Maiden, but since no one knew her background, they dared not tell her."
"Around noon, she arrived at the inn and ordered a few dishes."
"I saw her in Zhennan..."
Hearing the various clues around him, Zu An's face darkened: "Why do so many of you remember her?"
Finding one or two clues like this is already quite good, but here suddenly a whole bunch have appeared, which feels a bit strange.
At this moment, one of them said weakly, "That girl is so beautiful, and so...so..."
He suddenly became hesitant and stammering at this point.
The saintess's expression turned cold: "What exactly is it?"
The man was startled by the saintess and hurriedly said, "It's so big, no one who has seen it once will forget it."
Saintess: "..."
Zuan: "..."
He thought of Da Manman's impressive figure and realized that what this guy said was indeed reasonable.
He then asked more detailed questions, which allowed him to roughly outline Da Manman's activity route after entering the town.
Around afternoon, she had already found out the approximate location of the Holy Maiden and the demon race resistance army, and after leaving the town, she was heading there.
Suddenly, she received a letter, and her expression changed drastically. She then changed direction and headed in the exact opposite direction from the demon rebels.
Zuan frowned. What did the letter say? Why did she immediately change her original plan and head in another direction?
More importantly, who exactly sent the letter to Da Manman?
She doesn't belong to this time and space, so she couldn't possibly have any acquaintances. How could someone send her a letter?
At this moment, the Holy Maiden spoke up: "Brother Zu, what do you think Sister Pei saw that made her leave? Could it be that someone lied to her that you were in danger or something?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "No."
He and Da Manman had already developed a tacit understanding and even used some secret codes, so no one could fool her.
Moreover, she knew her own cultivation level and that she had no problem protecting herself, so how could she have encountered danger so quickly?
"After thinking it over, there's only one possibility: she must have received news about the Glazed Hairpin Flower, the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tear, or the Aurora Poison Dragon, which is why she left," Zu An said in a deep voice. Only when it concerns Ji Xiaoxi's antidote would she suddenly change her plans.
The saintess suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and, under the other party's puzzled gaze, explained, "I'm not sure about the other two, but the Glazed Hairpin Flower seems to grow near the Demon Clan's royal tomb."
"The Demon Clan's Imperial Tomb?" Zu An was taken aback. "I visited that place in my later life, but I never saw this flower there."
After a moment of contemplation, the saintess said, "They do exist in this world, but they are extremely rare. They were cultivated by successive demon emperors to sacrifice to the heavens. If they are not seen in later generations, they have most likely become extinct in subsequent history."
"Although the matter of the glass hairpin is a secret, some people in the demon race still know about it. It seems that Sister Pei inquired around and someone found out the information and sent it to her."
Zuan nodded; now it seemed that this was indeed the most reasonable explanation.
"Then I'll go to the Demon Clan Royal Mausoleum right away." Zu An was worried, knowing that the Lord of Slaughter was there, and if Manman went there rashly, she might be in danger.
In addition, Ji Xiaoxi and the others were also on their way to investigate the whereabouts of the Glazed Hairpin Flower, and they might also be heading towards the Demon Clan Royal Mausoleum, where they could meet up.
The saintess immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
Zu An advised, "Sister Ling'er, as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, you bear too many responsibilities. The Resistance Army also has too many things for you to handle. If you suddenly leave, chaos will definitely break out on their side."
"But..." The saintess knew he was telling the truth, but she was reluctant to part with him.
Just then, an elven female scout flew over: "Holy Maiden, an urgent report has come from the front. The demon army seems to be making strange movements recently. Everyone is worried that they are coming for us, so they sent me to invite the Holy Maiden back to discuss this."
The saintess's expression changed, and she looked at Zu An with difficulty: "Brother Zu..."
Zuan patted her on the shoulder: "Ling'er, you should go back now. I can handle things on my own. Besides, you've attracted the attention of the demon army, which is indirectly helping me."
