Half an hour later, Xiao Zheng boarded the private plane arranged for him by Long Qie.
To his left, there was a wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was the Demon God Statue obtained from the Saintess of the Demon God Sect.
Xiao Zheng had a vague intuition that this Demon God Statue would definitely provide significant assistance for his upcoming journey to the Southern Border.
The plane flew for about an hour before landing at Huacheng Airport.
Huacheng is the capital of the Southern Border, a tropolis with a population of millions.
Before the plane landed, Xiao Zheng could see the bustling city from the sky. Once he got off the plane, a car was already waiting to greet him outside the tarmac.
Sky Net has a branch in the Southern Border, and this is the car sent by the Southern Border branch to greet him.
The driver assigned to Xiao Zheng was a young man with the nickna "Little Pig."
It was his first ti seeing Xiao Zheng in person, and he was very excited to be in such close proximity to his idol. Seeing Xiao Zheng carrying the large wooden box, Little Pig quickly stepped forward and helped him place the box into the trunk.
"Mr. Xiao, please get in the car."
After closing the trunk, Little Pig diligently opened the car door for him.
Xiao Zheng thanked him and sat in the back seat.
His expression of gratitude made Little Pig even more excited, but he didn’t forget his task. He quickly returned to the driver’s seat and slowly drove away from the airport.
On the way, Little Pig repeatedly used the rearview mirror to secretly observe Xiao Zheng sitting in the back.
His actions naturally did not escape Xiao Zheng’s notice.
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and then asked, "You’re called Little Pig, right? Before I ca here, soone had already introduced you to . After Lord Evil Eyes ca to the Southern Border, he passed ssages back to headquarters through you, correct?"
Upon hearing this, Little Pig nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Evil Eyes indeed passed ssages back to headquarters through ."
"When you t him, did he say anything to you?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Little Pig shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Actually, I didn’t et Lord Evil Eyes in person. He entrusted a passerby to bring the ssage back to the branch. But I heard from the ssenger that Lord Evil Eyes looked very anxious, as if dealing with an urgent matter."
"If it weren’t for this letter, I wouldn’t even know that Lord Evil Eyes ca to the Southern Border."
What he said was indeed the truth.
Lord Evil Eyes ca to the Southern Border for a secret operation. He did not contact the local Sky Net branch, operating independently. If his identity hadn’t been exposed, he probably wouldn’t have used outsiders to inform the branch.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng beca increasingly worried.
Little Pig continued saying, "We have tracked down the movents of Lord Evil Eyes over the last couple of days and found his temporary place of residence. But by the ti we got there, Lord Evil Eyes was gone, and there were signs of a confrontation left behind."
"You found his temporary residence? Where is it? Take there now." Xiao Zheng imdiately said.
Little Pig nodded and then turned the car around.
Initially planning to bring Xiao Zheng to the branch for rest, Little Pig chose to follow orders since Xiao Zheng had spoken.
The car traveled through the bustling and spacious streets of Huacheng, finally heading out of the city.
After driving about eighty kiloters, the car entered a small county.
Upon arriving, Xiao Zheng imdiately sensed the residual aura of Demon God Sect believers in the air. This familiar aura was completely consistent with the aura of the Demon God Statue.
It seed Lord Evil Eyes indeed encountered danger, and the Demon God Sect masters had locked onto his location.
The car finally stopped in front of a house in the county, a residence long unoccupied with rusted lock on the front door. However, traces of forced entry could still be seen.
Lord Evil Eyes should have been hiding here for the past two days.
Xiao Zheng entered the house and imdiately noticed the traces of the confrontation inside the room. The scene was intense, with almost everything in the house destroyed, and the floor deeply sunken as if bombed, rendering the place unrecognizable.
"This is the scene."
"When our people arrived here, Lord Evil Eyes had already vanished. But he must have successfully escaped, since two corpses of Demon God Sect believers were left behind."
Little Pig stood aside and spoke in a low voice.
Upon hearing about the two corpses, Xiao Zheng quickly asked, "Where are the bodies? Take to them."
"On the second floor, please follow , Mr. Xiao." Little Pig led the way.
Upon reaching the second floor, both corpses that Little Pig ntioned ca into view.
These two deceased were clearly from the Demon God Sect.
They wore identical black robes, with Other Shore Flower tattoos on their hands. Judging from the aura lingering on their bodies, it was apparent they were Early Stage Martial Saints while alive.
Although Lord Evil Eyes was a Middle-stage Martial Saint, fighting two opponents alone must not have been easy.
If Xiao Zheng guessed correctly, Lord Evil Eyes likely suffered severe injuries.
The thought of Lord Evil Eyes’ dangerous predicant made Xiao Zheng increasingly anxious.
At that mont, Little Pig suddenly received a phone call.
After hanging up, his expression turned grave. He said, "Mr. Xiao, my brother sent word that they discovered a new battlefield in the nearby mountain forest. Should we check it out now?"
"Take there imdiately!" Xiao Zheng said without hesitation.
Little Pig nodded and then ran ahead, leading the way.
Finding his pace too slow, Xiao Zheng lifted Little Pig up entirely, allowing him to point the way. With blazing speed, Xiao Zheng gave Little Pig the sensation of flying.
In a brief minute, they traveled from the residence to a forest area over ten miles away.
After putting down the dizzy Little Pig, Xiao Zheng walked forward.
Not far in front of him were nurous signs of battle.
The scene was equally fierce, with trees and grass within a hundred-ter radius pulverized by powerful forces. Yet Xiao Zheng found no bodies on site, only copious amounts of bloodstains.
Once Little Pig had recovered sowhat, he walked over to Xiao Zheng and asked, "Mr. Xiao, any findings? I’ve already dispatched brothers deeper into the forest hoping to find Lord Evil Eyes."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant mountains, an icy resolve flickered in his eyes: "No need to continue. If my guess is correct, Lord Evil Eyes has likely fallen into the hands of the Demon God Sect."
"Further searching would be futile."
Upon hearing this, Little Pig’s face showed a hint of shock.
