Intelligence

At this moment, Feng Zhuhong stopped in midair and prepared to cast a spell, while Mo Zitong produced a silver spear in her hand.

Two phantoms identical to her appeared beside her and charged at the three Native Transcendents at the same time.

"This Illusion Profound Mystery is already at quite a high level!"

Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised. Mo Zitong had reached at least the third level of the Myriad Realms, and she might even have condensed a Proto True Meaning.

Mo Zitong unleashed tremendous strength, while the three Native Transcendents had less than one percent of their power left under Zhou Zheng's Time Deceleration.

Thus, it did not take much effort for Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong to capture the three Native Transcendents together, stripping them of all their treasures in the process.

"Damn it, who are you people?"

"Lord Shockwave will never forgive you!"

"..."

The three Native Transcendents glared with wide eyes, still shouting threats.

Just then, Herk, who had long been waiting nearby, suddenly rushed out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Mo Zitong exchanged a few moves with Herk before quickly retreating in defeat. Feng Zhuhong did not even cast a single spell, merely putting on an act as she fled into the distance.

Whoosh!

Herk swept up the three captured Native Transcendents and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Don't chase after him!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng finally flew over as well.

"You are...?"

The Transcendental who had been rescued looked at Zhou Zheng's group of three with some confusion.

To him, Zhou Zheng and the other two were complete strangers. Although he had become Transcendental less than a century ago, he had at least heard of the Transcendentals from every region.

Could these three have been secretly trained by some faction?

"We're not enemies!" Zhou Zheng smiled. "My name is Lightning Swordsman. These two are Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong!"

Seeing that Zhou Zheng's group was unwilling to reveal their identities, the Transcendental did not press further.

"Thank you, the three of you, for saving me. I am Wu Jiuxin, from Nine Rivers Temple!" the Transcendental said.

"So you're a friend from Nine Rivers Temple, haha!" Zhou Zheng said with a laugh. "This isn't the place to talk. Brother Wu, come with us!"

"Alright!"

Wu Jiuxin nodded in agreement.

Although he had some doubts about Zhou Zheng's group's identities, they had just saved him, so he did not dwell on it.

A moment later, the four boarded Feng Zhuhong's Alchemy Flying Boat and swiftly departed.

"Brother Wu, do you know whether anyone has left this small Transcendent World to spread word of what happened here?" Zhou Zheng asked aboard the flying boat.

"This..."

Wu Jiuxin hesitated for a moment before saying,

"My two senior brothers from Nine Rivers Temple and I came to this small world to train. After that enormous Special Lifeform Corpse fell, my two senior brothers and I immediately prepared to leave and return to the temple to report the matter. But we were intercepted by a group of Native Transcendents on the way. We fled separately, and afterward I encountered the three of you. As for whether news from here has already spread, I don't know!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng nodded slightly before asking, "Brother Wu, can you contact your two senior brothers?"

"I haven't been able to contact them for an hour already!" Wu Jiuxin shook his head.

"Can't contact them?"

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly. There were two possibilities. One was that the two had already met with disaster, making contact naturally impossible. The other was that they had already left this small Transcendent World.

It was naturally impossible to communicate across worlds!

"Then, Brother Wu, do you know..."

"..."

Zhou Zheng asked Wu Jiuxin many questions, covering everything from the overall situation of Emperor Yu Mortal World to detailed intelligence on all its Saint level transcendentals. Of course, he did not ask some things directly, instead probing indirectly.

Even so, Wu Jiuxin was utterly bewildered. The Transcendental before him seemed as though he had popped out from a crack in a rock, lacking even the most basic common sense.

Of course, this was also related to Wu Jiuxin's usual dislike of reading.

If he had read more books, he would have known of the existence of the Temporal Temple beyond the world. He might then have made the connection.

But now...

Because Zhou Zheng's group of three looked no different from the people of Emperor Yu Mortal World, Wu Jiuxin had always assumed that they were Transcendentals secretly trained by some faction. That was why they seemed somewhat disconnected from the outside world.

Zhou Zheng obtained a great deal of intelligence from Wu Jiuxin, then arranged for him to rest aboard the Alchemy Flying Boat.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng and Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong entered a room with a soundproofing array, preparing to discuss their plan.

"Captain, how did it go?" Feng Zhuhong asked.

"This small Transcendent World has three entrances in total!" Zhou Zheng said.

"Even if Wu Jiuxin's two senior brothers did not escape, there are still many Mortal Sixth Tier lifeforms exploring this Transcendent World. There may also be Transcendentals from other factions. Sooner or later, news of this place will get out."

"Then how strong is this world?" Feng Zhuhong asked again.

"There are three major local factions, and Nine Rivers Temple is one of them. In addition, there are outside factions such as the Blood Blade Tavern and Qu Feng Temple!" As Zhou Zheng spoke, a trace of surprise appeared on Feng Zhuhong's face.

"It's very similar to my hometown!" she said.

"It's very similar to my hometown too!"

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly. Other than lacking factions of magical beasts, this world was indeed ninety percent similar to the Xia Clan World in terms of its overall structure.

However, there was nothing strange about that.

Not to mention the local factions, which were bound to exist.

The Blood Blade Tavern originated from the Divine Realm's Blood Blade Divine Emperor, so there was even less need to mention it. It existed in nearly every Material World.

As for Qu Feng Temple, it enjoyed the faith of countless mortals throughout this Material World.

The faith of mortals was extremely precious to Deities. It could accelerate their comprehension of the profound mysteries of heaven-and-earth rules, so nearly every Deity valued faith immensely.

And for Qu Feng Temple to occupy the faith of an entire mortal world, the Deity it worshipped was certainly no ordinary Deity. Most likely, it was a World God.

Of course, that had nothing to do with Zhou Zheng's group.

"The Saint level transcendentals of Emperor Yu Mortal World aren't weak either. Although none have grasped a Second-grade True Meaning, there are two Third-grade True Meaning Transcendentals!" Zhou Zheng said.

"Although those two may not necessarily come to this world, we still have to guard against them. What we need to do is collect as much of that Special Lifeform's corpse as possible before outside forces arrive!"

At Zhou Zheng's mention of this, Mo Zitong suddenly took out three Storage Treasures.

"Captain, we got these from those three Native Transcendents. They contain what we need!" Mo Zitong said, and Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised.

Without hesitation, he picked up one of the Storage Treasures and examined its contents.

Zhou Zheng quickly skipped past some miscellaneous items before his attention fell upon a hoof claw.

This hoof claw was extraordinarily thick, dozens of meters in diameter, and completely bare without a single strand of hair.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng sensed an utterly astonishing aura from within the hoof claw. From that aura alone, he could tell that its owner had been incomparably powerful in life.

No wonder that corpse had sparked such a scramble!
