Chapter 166 Save me, save me
Ma Gan was on the verge of tears. He had only gone home to visit his family and bring them to the capital. How did he get into trouble?
He didn't recognize the two men, but when the city lord saw the tokens in their hands, he didn't dare utter a sound and let them arrest him.
"Gentlemen," he pleaded, "what have I done wrong? Who ordered you to arrest me? Please tell me."
"No matter what, I am a disciple of the Demon God Palace. Is there some misunderstanding? The Grand Elder values me highly. We have no past grudges or recent enmities. Let's not make things unpleasant."
The two did not answer his first question, but they could answer the rest: "You are a disciple of the Demon God Palace, and so are we. We are even inner palace disciples."
"As for who ordered us to arrest you..."
One of them scoffed, "You say the Grand Elder values you? We two brothers don't think so."
Ma Gan was dumbfounded. Did they mean that the Grand Elder wanted to arrest him?
But why?
Ma Gan wanted to say something more, but the two men got impatient and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.
"Alright, enough nonsense. You'll understand why once we get to the capital."
"Hey, senior brother, I noticed the Grand Elder doesn't look too good. He even smashed the table. What do you think this person did to offend him?"
"Who knows?"
Actually, the Grand Elder was so excited after his breakthrough that he couldn't control his strength.
The reason Yun Zhao grabbed the hemp stalk was because he hurriedly said something to the Grand Elder before refining the pill.
"Go to Hidden Moon City and capture someone named Magan."
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, noticing that Yun Zhao had spoken through gritted teeth and used the word "grab," indicating that he must be an enemy. So he instructed his men to use "grab" instead of "please."
As for what Magan said, the Grand Elder values him...
The Grand Elder was extremely busy with many affairs of state, and with Yun Zhao already occupying all his attention, he had long forgotten about Ma Gan.
The city lord opened a special passage for them, so they didn't have to queue. Just as the two were about to escort Ma Gan to the teleportation array, someone stopped them.
Just as they were about to reprimand the person blocking their way, Ma Gan became agitated.
"No no no!"
My benefactor, her husband, please save me!
Although Ma Gan didn't know what he had done wrong, seeing how serious the two of them were talking about it, he... he was scared!
He was afraid that he would be killed as soon as he arrived in the capital.
So when he saw Qi Yan, he didn't even have time to think about how a "human" like Qi Yan could appear in the Demon Realm.
The two men holding the stalky man shouted, "Don't move! Behave yourself!"
"You, get out of the way."
Qi Yan didn't let him pass, staring at the skinny man and asking, "Have you ever seen Yun Zhao?"
With his mouth gagged, he nodded frantically.
Seeing this, Qi Yan first tried to be polite before resorting to force, asking, "Gentlemen, may I ask him a few questions?"
The two were afraid that Qi Yan had come to rescue someone and worried that they wouldn't be able to complete the mission, so they refused.
"No, this is a wanted criminal from the Demon God Palace. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"
Ma Gan's whole body went numb.
If this makes them a target of the Demon God Palace, wouldn't they be torn to pieces once they reach the imperial city?
So he desperately begged Qi Yan for help.
When Ma Gan learned of Yun Zhao's whereabouts, Qi Yan was about to grab him when Xue Huai Rui stopped him and showed them a jade pendant.
After just one glance, their expressions changed instantly, "Blood..."
“No need,” Xue Huairui stopped them. “You can go back. I want this person. Just report the truth to the Grand Elder when you get back.”
Without the slightest hesitation, the two released the hemp stalk and left.
Qi Yan didn't ask who Xue Huairui was. He picked up the hemp stalk and went to a secluded place.
Faced with the pressure from the two, Ma Gan did not hide anything and quickly told them where Yun Zhao was.
"My benefactor wanted to go to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Feet to find a passage to the human race, but I thought about it and realized that the Abyss of Ten Thousand Feet is so dangerous that a passage might not even be found. What if something happens..."
He glanced at Qi Yan and said, "I took it upon myself to lie to my benefactor and send her to Xiaoyao City."
Xue Huairui understood, "There is a place near Xiaoyao City called Wanzhang Moyuan. That place is safe and vast. If Zhaozhao went there, she should still be there at this time."
Qi Yan glanced at Ma Gan, who said, "Yes, this young lady is right. I also told my benefactor that if we don't find it, we should come to Hidden Moon City to ask someone to send me a message... I plan to take my family to the Imperial City."
“My benefactor is not a demon. Although she has the technique to change her aura, I’m afraid she’ll be discovered once she arrives in the capital.”
"Of course, if my benefactor comes back to me, I definitely won't let her go to the Abyss of Despair."
Ma Gan embellished his past actions, recounting all the good he had done for Yun Zhao, fearing that Qi Yan would abandon him.
Of course, he was very curious about what the jade token Xue Huairui was holding was. Those two were inner palace disciples, yet they were so...reverent.
Yes, it's reverence. Ma Gan used this word to describe the two people's attitude towards Xue Huairui.
Xue Huairui frowned. "Is he trustworthy?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Gan tried his best to appear trustworthy.
Qi Yan shook her head and then nodded, "I can believe it to some extent."
Magpie: "..."
What about trust between people!
"Then take him to Xiaoyao City, find Zhaozhao, and we'll know for sure whether it's true or false."
Ma Gan breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, you two. I wasn't lying. I will definitely find our benefactor."
Just to be on the safe side, he added, "Of course, when we get to Xiaoyao City, can we inquire whether our benefactor went there? If our benefactor has left, then I won't be lying to you, right?"
The three of them took a teleportation array to Xiaoyao City, but after inquiring for a long time, no one had seen Yun Zhao.
Qi Yan's gaze turned hostile: "Even if Zhao Zhao keeps a low profile, she still needs to stay at an inn, and she still needs to buy some equipment for entering the Ten Thousand Bottom Abyss, right?"
The vast desert is prone to sandstorms year-round, so it definitely needs some special equipment. If Yun Zhao comes, it's impossible for him not to buy it.
Hemp slackly said, "Well, maybe our benefactor doesn't need those things, maybe, maybe..."
He couldn't come up with anything else.
Faced with the oppressive presence of Qi Yan and Xue Huairui, Ma Gan was on the verge of tears.
My benefactor, where have you gone!
In the cultivation room, Yun Zhao was refining pills when he suddenly sneezed loudly.
The three returned to Hidden Moon City by the same route. This time, they flew on their swords, passing through every city that Yun Zhao might pass through.
Yun Zhao couldn't possibly not stop to buy some food or rest for the night, could he?
Unfortunately, nothing was found; it seems Yun Zhao did not go to Xiaoyao City.
Ma Gan was even more frightened.
They returned to Hidden Moon City, hoping to find some clues, such as whether anyone had seen where Yun Zhao went after leaving the city.
Through this, they can roughly determine Yun Zhao's whereabouts.
Ma Gan racked his brains, trying to recall who was present on the day he saw Yun Zhao off.
After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up: "I remember now, there's one more person besides me!"
