Chapter 792 The Return of the Gods 76
Quan Jiu skillfully took out the spiritual herbs and bandages from his bag, applied the crushed spiritual herbs on his calves and arms, and then wrapped them with bandages.
The little Fujiko climbed onto her shoulders and rubbed her cheek affectionately with its leaves, trying to share her pain in this comforting way.
Quan Jiu touched its leaves, looked at the dark twilight, and sighed:
"We can only set off tomorrow."
This is the bad thing about being a mortal.
If nothing goes wrong, she will reach the border between the human and demon worlds by tomorrow evening.
………
"Tang Lu's men are moving."
001 returned to the inn to inquire about the news. After all, it was the Demon King's territory, and Tang Lu was the most informed. In order to prevent missing any news about Quan Jiu, they arranged for their subordinates to infiltrate the search team.
Feng Zui picked up the sword on the table and stood up: "Where did you go?"
"Don't worry, I've put tracking butterfly powder on our people. As long as they don't go to a place with a shielding barrier, we won't lose them."
001 held his shoulders to prevent him from acting impulsively.
"Recently, there's been a lot of talk about the Heavenly Realm Holy Fruit at the border between the human and demon worlds. The person who spread the news should be Tang Lu. If I'm not mistaken, their destination is also the border."
Originally, they could reach the border in a quarter of an hour using the teleportation array, but the official teleportation array of the demon world had the aura of the demon kings of all generations. Once a non-demon entered the teleportation array, their identity would be exposed, so they could only fly with swords.
"It takes half a day to fly on a sword. If we set off now, we won't be behind Tang Lu for too long."
…
"Your Majesty, the border is bitterly cold. Since you are of noble status, there is really no need for you to come in person. The Left Protector and I will make the trip for you."
Wan Yingzhi looked at the man who was ready to go and tried to dissuade him.
Tang Lu's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his gray pupils were like shining crystals. Although beautiful, they lacked any warmth, just like his tone at the moment.
"If you don't want to go, stay in the palace."
Wan Yingzhi heard the sense of oppression in his tone, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze:
"My duty is to protect Your Majesty. Wherever Your Majesty is, I will be there."
Tang Lu had heard so many expressions of loyalty like this that his ears were already callused. He simply ignored Wan Yingzhi and went directly to the teleportation array in the palace with his guards.
Wan Yingzhi walked at the end and glanced at the left protector who was also walking at the end.
"His Majesty is already suspicious, you'd better not reveal yourself."
The Demon King is getting married. Although Tang Lu seems to be indifferent on the surface, he personally prepares the wedding.
From small things like wedding candy and wine to big things like wedding dresses and banquets, he, despite being a busy demon king, personally took care of everything, and even went so far as to marry a cultivator who had been at odds with his demon clan for generations with the highest standards.
She originally thought that Tang Lu would be furious and hate Chen Luan for eloping with another man on the wedding day, which was such a humiliating thing. But judging from Chen Lu's reaction in the past two days, the person Tang Lu wanted to kill more was Feng Zui.
"I've already advised His Majesty that he hasn't just returned to the demon clan, so it's inappropriate for him to go against Feng Zui. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Feng Zui, at the very least, carries a demonic aura. None of the eight major forces in the immortal world have benefited from him. It's not worth it to go to this extent for a dead man..."
The left guardian glared at him, "Right guardian, be careful with your words."
Apart from the two of them, no one knew that Chen Luan was dead. Once Tang Lu knew that they were the ones behind Chen Luan's accident, they would have no way out.
Although Wan Yingzhi was unhappy, she still kept her mouth shut.
I can only wait until the day when Tang Lu can no longer find anyone and gives up completely.
Tang Lu took the teleportation array to the border town. The left protector respectfully led people to the inn, but before he could even sit down, Tang Lu ordered him to find someone.
The largest force in the town is the Mercenary Guild. They have placed people in the guild. Protector Zuo immediately brought the head of the guild to the inn.
This person was none other than Shopkeeper Zhang. He knelt on the ground in fear, knowing the identity of the person in front of him, and he did not dare to look up.
Tang Lu: "Has anything unusual happened in town recently?"
Shopkeeper Zhang would never have thought that he would have a direct conversation with His Majesty the Demon King. He shook his head frantically and said:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is normal. If there is any unusual movement, I will immediately report it to the higher-ups."
This wasn't the answer Tang Lu wanted. "Is there a new woman in town... a new face? She came specifically for the Heavenly Realm Holy Fruit."
Thinking about how skilled Quan Jiu was at disguising herself as a man, he swallowed the word "woman".
When Shopkeeper Zhang heard about the Heavenly Realm Holy Fruit, his heart skipped a beat and a veiled black figure appeared in his mind.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, since the news of the Holy Fruit leaked out, many people from other places have come to this town, most of them coming for the Holy Fruit."
Shopkeeper Zhang took out a list and handed it to Protector Zuo, secretly sighing that he was too worried.
The woman in the wanted portrait was as beautiful as a fairy, but the pharmacist he hired had a hideous face. He could only see people in the daytime with a veil covering his face, so it was impossible for him to be a human.
"I followed your instructions and recorded all the outsiders entering the city one by one. I made a list of sixty-nine people in total."
Tang Lu glanced at the list and didn't see any suspicious names like "Jian Guo Da Zhuang". He passed the list around Wan Yingzhi and handed it to the left protector:
"Send someone to check them one by one."
Left Protector: "I'll go right away."
Half a day later, the left protector returned and reported:
"Your Majesty, there is only one person left on the list who has yet to be checked."
Tang Lu's eyes deepened slightly as he took the list and asked, "Who is it?"
The left protector pursed his lips: "A girl named Shen."
"rub--"
The sound of a chair dragging the floor suddenly rang out, and Tang Lu's gray eyes sparkled:
"Where is this person?"
The left protector knew that he would be like this after hearing the news. If he didn't know that Chen Luan was already dead, he would probably be shocked.
"This person is staying at the nearby Tongfu Inn. I heard he will be back in two days."
"lead the way."
………
"It's not too slow."
001 entered the town. The spies had already reported Tang Lu's whereabouts today. Several people came to the guild and directly tied up the shopkeeper Zhang who was decocting medicine.
Shopkeeper Zhang, who was tied up by two groups of people in one day: "…"
After asking the question, 001 received the same list. Looking at the sixty-nine names, he decisively chose to pick up the missing ones:
"Did this group of people find the person they were looking for this morning?"
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the sharp sword on his neck, his hands trembling as he pointed to the third name in the second-to-last row:
"He, they are looking for this girl named Shen Wei."
001 frowned and exchanged a silent look with Master Zero.
Master Zero shook his head.
That's not her style.
001 silently put away the list. He also felt that it was unlikely that Shen Wei was Quan Jiu. Knowing that Tang Lu's people were looking for her, she deliberately used the name Shen, which attracted too much attention.
Besides, a cannon fodder name like Weiwei doesn't fit her style.
