Locating

You contacted me way too fast!

From the moment Zhou Rihui was encouraged to activate the power of the Xuanming bloodline to the moment he contacted Xuanming again, only about ten days had passed.

Ten days is a very short time, so short that it's basically impossible to get anything worthwhile done.

Zhang Xuezhou and his group were targeting a god, or even a god from a higher-dimensional world.

The gods who reach the top of the food chain are no pushovers. These beings stand out from thousands of their kind and go through countless risks and fortuitous opportunity before finally achieving their goal.

Xuanming felt that such a thing could be planned for months, then spent years looking for an opportunity, and then mobilize a group of daredevils to sacrifice themselves as expendable resources before a direct confrontation could be held.

The time allotted was so short that Xuanming could hardly find a reason to complain. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou was being too careless, and the probability of failure was extremely high.

"Use the magic that Liao Meng released on me to investigate and give me a clue as to where she is hiding."

Zhang Xuezhou didn't argue with Xuanming back and forth.

After reaching an agreement with Xuanming, he no longer needed to rely on luck to contact Xuanming; he could do so as quickly as possible, and the other party would respond.

"You've been tainted by Liao Meng's magic. My pursuit of guidance will inevitably alert her. You wouldn't be thinking of using me as a backer to beg her to let you off the hook, would you?"

In the dim space, Xuanming swayed his body, gazing at the small figure below.

His good-for-nothing descendants often cause trouble, and when they do, they often use him as a pretext to get other creatures to give them some face.

Some people are willing to give face, while others are not.

For example, Zhou Xin's father killed Xuanming's descendants, and Xuanming had no way to stop him.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou's trouble with Liao Meng can be dealt with, since Xuan Ming can indeed contact Liao Meng, but whether or not to pay a price to plead for Zhang Xuezhou is another matter entirely.

He had to repeatedly compare and estimate the costs he had incurred and the benefits Zhang Xuezhou gained from acquiring the Luck Bead.

"The technique I possess is called 'Sealing Magic,' which can resist external evil forces," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It's one thing to be alerted when tracing a technique tainted with malice, but to be alerted when tracing a technique of good intentions is even more problematic. If you can't even help with this small matter, then I'll have to rely on my own senses to find it!"

"Kindness? You're already ruining Liao Meng's life, and she still wants to be kind to you?"

Xuanming gasped in astonishment, finding it hard to comprehend such a thing.

Whether things are as Zhang Xuezhou said can be determined with a simple inquiry.

"Strange, very strange!"

A moment later, Xuanming couldn't help but exclaim as well.

Malicious Technique Method will inevitably trigger a counterattack and alert when tracing their origins, while benevolent support Technique Method will be gentler when tracing their origins, and a safe tracing process will not disturb the attacker.

Just as he couldn't understand how Zhang Xuezhou had so quickly conquered and destroyed a great nation, he couldn't understand why Liao Meng would show goodwill towards Zhang Xuezhou.

"Just like when I checked the zodiac, I was able to locate her. You can use the same method to trace her actual location. According to our previous agreement, I expended effort to assist her, and you need to reciprocate!"

Although he couldn't quite understand it, Xuanming acted swiftly and also mentioned the price Zhang Xuezhou would have to pay.

"No problem, but I'm a little curious. You're also a high-dimensional god who has mastered the Principle, so why are you interested in Liao Meng's Principle?"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement, then casually asked another question.

"Only Principle can influence Principle. Liao Meng's Principle possess some healing power. Extracting her Principle would mean I could temporarily possess a power to heal physical injuries. Even if I couldn't use it immediately, it could serve as a backup. If I could see an opportunity, of course I would want to acquire it!"

Xuanming didn't mince words and directly recounted the rewards he had received.

"She recovers the power of the Principle very quickly, so be prepared to collect it in advance. If you miss the opportunity, don't blame me," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and instructed.

"I'll be waiting for you to perform the sacrifice again!"

Xuanming responded, and his massive figure quickly disappeared, as if he were rushing to make preparations.

The darkness before Zhang Xuezhou's eyes faded, and his gaze returned to Qin Mengzhong.

Everything around him remained the same; the stopwatch had only ticked for three seconds, but an image began to appear on the bronze tortoise he held in his palm.

Just like when he saw Huang Daoxian's blurry figure on the bronze tortoise, Zhang Xuezhou saw the original caster of the spell again this time.

It was an extremely cold and beautiful face, below which was a flawless, naked body.

If one's gaze is not drawn to the giant spider's abdominal sac and legs at the bottom, and one is draped in Heavenly Robe, the other party's temperament will be extremely similar to that of the emperor and empress.

Compared to the Spider God Guardian, who transformed into a humanoid form resembling a cheap inflatable doll, Liao Meng's descendant had half of her body becoming perfectly human, with an impeccable transformation.

The reason why Liao Meng transformed into human form is not hard to understand. After all, the appearance of the other party is similar to that of Omega, which means that she probably knows the characteristics of the races in this world and used Omega as a model to create her body.

Perhaps due to Huang Daoxian's interference, or perhaps due to other factors, the transformation of Liaomeng's descent was incomplete.

Zhang Xuezhou's gaze swept over and saw that the other person was sitting on a huge, dark rock that occasionally shimmered with a reddish-copper luster.

It was precisely because of the shimmering light of this boulder that the cave was illuminated, allowing for a general view.

The boulder seemed to be very hot, and you could see underground river water overflowing from beneath it, with wisps of steam rising from it.

Montes Steel stood to one side like a wooden sculpture, seemingly used for studying body structure. Zhang Xuezhou also saw dense, tiny tentacles surging back and forth on Montes Steel's lower body.

Liao Meng's descendant obviously wouldn't chase after Zhang Xuezhou like Huang Daoxian would. To find him, Zhang Xuezhou and the others would need to take the initiative. The image on the bronze tortoise was the information given to Zhang Xuezhou.

As they get closer, the image on the bronze tortoise becomes clearer, even allowing Zhang Xuezhou to see the surrounding cave environment.

"There's no need to search every similar cave. Just look for where hot water has mixed into the underground glacier to determine the location of Liao Meng's lair. If it's easy to dig, we can just go straight up; if it's difficult, we can use the cave passages!"

Having traversed the underground glacier to reach the end of the Spider God's Cave, searching Liao Meng's lair will obviously be much easier.

After quickly verifying the situation, Zhang Xuezhou put the bronze tortoise back into his backpack, then stepped on the waves and turned around.

"Listen up, you lot! The mistress has told you to get out of here. If you keep blocking our way, I'll devour you all!"

Seeing Hu Hao clutching his neck in pain, Zhang Xuezhou's brief mental shock instantly brought him back to his senses.

"Damn it... 'Yu' won't let you get away with this. You... he'll eventually pull the power out of you 'half-dead' bodies and burn your corpses to ashes in the Meng River!"

As he staggered to his feet and flew away, Hu Hao stared at Zhang Xuezhou, who was enveloped in green light, and didn't forget to utter some harsh words.

Just like Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, who used the guise of "mistress," Hu Hao used the guise of "tiger breeding."

Both sides, after causing trouble, hope to find the root of the problem and directly confront the mastermind behind it; their statements and responses are essentially the same.

Whether either side can bring in backers to engage in a power struggle remains to be seen.

"The 'half-dead'?"

Zhang Xuezhou thought to himself.

If he hadn't already pretended to be innocent and then flung away in a staggering flight, he really would have wanted to beat Hu Hao up again and see what else the other man could come up with.
