CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 338: LU CHUAN’S WHEREABOUTS EXPOSED!

In a mountain forest a hundred miles away from Jiangyuan Mountain, Huang Xuan, looking extremely bedraggled, stepped out from a cave.

His complexion was still ashen. Last night’s two bouts of backlash left him in a dire state.

If he hadn’t possessed the physique of a fourth-tier Evolver, an ordinary person suffering such a backlash might not have woken up today.

"Cough, cough~"

The injuries on his body had just stabilized to the point where any large movement would exacerbate his internal pain, causing Huang Xuan to cough up blood constantly.

Leaning on an ancient tree in front of the cave, Huang Xuan’s chest heaved violently as he panted for a while. After adjusting his breathing, he managed to suppress the injuries.

"Damn that vile woman! If she had agreed to team up with me, how could things have ended up like this!"

Huang Xuan’s eyes were filled with viciousness.

Thinking of that woman, his teeth itched with hatred, wishing he could rush over right now and kill the vile woman.

This time, two of his fourth-tier Fierce Beasts were wiped out by her!

And without those two fourth-tier Fierce Beasts, his combat power was halved, making him hesitant to venture into these wild forests.

Slaughtering my Beast King Sect, and killing my two fourth-tier Fierce Beasts, leading to my severe injuries!

It won’t end until death! Until death! If I don’t kill this vile woman, I can’t resolve the hatred in my heart. I must retaliate harshly.

"No, I can’t let this vile woman get away with it after harming me so badly."

Huang Xuan gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred, with an increasingly intense desire to kill.

But thinking about his own situation, Huang Xuan quickly deflated; given his current state, relying on himself for revenge is completely impossible in the short term.

Recalling the fourth-tier Evolved Zombies beside the vile woman, Huang Xuan’s heart tightened involuntarily.

"That’s right, since the human officials are chasing this vile woman, what if I leak her location..."

Suddenly, a flash of brilliance struck Huang Xuan’s mind, and he thought of a good idea. Immediately, his eyes lit up.

Killing with a borrowed knife!

Since he couldn’t deal with that vile woman himself for the time being, he would borrow humanity’s official strength as a knife. When the time comes, let’s see how she dies!

Thinking of this, Huang Xuan’s face showed a sinister smile.

Immediately, Huang Xuan decided to act right away. Human officials and that vile woman as dogs biting each other—he couldn’t wait for this show.

As the thought crossed his mind, a third-tier Fierce Bird shrieked in the sky, swiftly descending.

The next moment, Huang Xuan mounted the third-tier Fierce Bird and flew up towards Jianghai City.

On the mountain road.

Rumble~

The convoy slowly drove along the gravel road, the tires constantly rolling over, producing a rumbling sound.

"Lu Chuan, just how long is this mountain road! When can we get out of here? It’s really hard to drive, with pits and bumps everywhere, almost tossed me to death!"

In the backseat, Zhao Lin was leaning against the car door, lowering the window to breathe fresh air while complaining.

Sometimes mosquitoes would fly in through the window, causing Zhao Lin to irritably swat them away.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan didn’t bother responding to this woman since the roads in Shanchuan City were all like this.

Especially the mountain roads leading out of Shanchuan City were the most rugged. If complaining could improve road conditions, he would have acted long ago.

He had already studied the map. Given the distance left to clear the mountain road, it would still be a while; they just had to persevere.

Zhao Lin leaned against the left car door, while Ji Ruxue sat on the far right, gazing through the window lost in thought.

She knew that Zhao Lin might play dumb after last night’s incident, but her father wasn’t that easy to fool. Perhaps he had already noticed something.

So Ji Ruxue was very hesitant about whether to reveal her current strength to her father.

Living together day by day, wanting to hide strength from her father was extremely difficult, especially when facing danger, she would have to act at crucial times.

For instance, with the Mutated Pangolin about to attack now, how could she not make a move?

And as soon as she takes action, her father will sense something’s off, even if she has excuses.

And this was only the first time; if a second or third time follows...how could she continue to feign ignorance?

Even Zhao Lin isn’t a fool and might notice something wrong too, let alone her father.

Thinking this, Ji Ruxue sighed inwardly, feeling conflicted.

"Little Qiqi, what about the chips I left in the car? See if they’re behind you?"

Just then, Zhao Lin’s voice rang out.

She was searching around her, looking confusedly at Ji Ruxue.

Coming back to her senses, Ji Ruxue pulled out a bag of chips from behind her and tossed them to Zhao Lin.

"Haha, they were indeed there, thanks Little Qiqi!"

Zhao Lin eagerly tore open the bag and started eating, oblivious to Ji Ruxue’s anomaly.

"Perhaps... without my father, I might actually continue to hide indefinitely... maybe..."

Looking at Zhao Lin, who was thoroughly enjoying her chips and had forgotten her earlier complaints, Ji Ruxue shook her head helplessly.

Jianghai Base City.

In the conference room.

After settling the Soaring Dragon Squad, the Base City Chief was just about to sit down and rest for a while when he received the latest report regarding news about the Corpse King. He had no choice but to leave his office once more and head to the conference room.

"Chief, we’ve just received a report below—there’s new information regarding the Corpse King!"

The Base City Chief sat at the head of the table. At that moment, a senior on his left spoke with some excitement.

"Where is the Corpse King? Is the information credible?"

Unlike the senior’s enthusiasm, the Base City Chief appeared slightly calm, looking at his counterpart while asking.

The Base City had received numerous updates about the Corpse King before, and after verification, they all turned out to be false information, so the Base City Chief was much more cautious with today’s report.

"Chief, the Corpse King is currently located in Shanchuan City near Jiangyuan Mountain. This information was secretly conveyed to the Base City by an unknown Evolver today, and judging by the details provided, I believe it has high credibility!"

The senior handed over a booklet full of words to the Chief, then continued, "This booklet records that Shanchuan City’s largest Evolver organization, Beast King Sect, was annihilated by a group of fourth-tier Evolved Zombies.

Moreover, the Corpse King’s convoy is active in Jiangyuan Mountain, and the eyewitness also wrote seeing a little girl and a grown woman in the convoy..."

Looking at the contents inside the booklet, the Base City Chief finally showed an expression of excitement.

"Quick! Notify the Soaring Dragon Squad and tell them the Corpse King’s latest location has been found!"
