Chapter 212: Overcoming Everything and Meeting an Old Friend Again
When Zhao Yingning told the story at the beginning, her voice was still a little trembling, but as she spoke later, it gradually became much more fluent. After finishing the story, Zhao Yingning put her forehead on the floor, stopped talking, and silently waited for the result.

Su Heng narrowed his eyes.

His strong fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the bronze throne, making a rhythmic sound.

After a while, the voice disappeared. In the silence, Su Heng said, "It's a good story. Although it's a bit cliché, it also helped me collect a lot of useful information."

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming all the way here to find me?"

"Huh..." Zhao Yingning let out a long sigh.

Su Heng's deep and heavy voice was like the sound of nature, and her tense muscles relaxed at once, like a soft stream of water. Sweat oozed from Zhao Yingning's forehead, flowing down her skin, and her eyes were a little hazy, but she didn't reach out to wipe it off.

"Yuanxi has been destroyed in the torrent of history, but his descendants are still here."

Zhao Yingning said, "Some of them are survivors who managed to survive the disaster, while others are rebels who escaped from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons thousands of years ago. My tribe is the descendant of the rebels. We are facing a test and hope to be saved by you."

"This is just a piece of cake for me." Su Heng said calmly, "But there is no free lunch in the world."

"I like a fair and square exchange, and you haven't paid enough."

"Of course, this is just a story, not worth mentioning." Zhao Yingning smiled bitterly, "No matter how painful and cruel the demise of Yuanxi was, it has been thousands of years. Now that it is mentioned again, it is just a story for people to entertain themselves."

"Yuanxi has become history, but it still leaves some legacy."

Zhao Yingning finally mustered up the courage. The girl raised her head and looked into Su Heng's eyes. "I know the location of the Golden Crow Mausoleum."

Su Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I don't know if this information can be used as an exchange." Zhao Yingning swallowed.

The time of a heartbeat seems so long that it seems like eternity.

"Yes!" Su Heng nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

……

……

……

Su Heng has always been a man of decisive character.

Zhao Yingning was worried about the safety of her people and didn't want to waste any time.

So in just a few words, Su Heng and Zhao Yingning had roughly finalized the details of the plan. Su Heng would lead the Dragon Guards to the Xi Marsh and lead Zhao Yingning's people out of the increasingly dangerous desert.

Zhao Yingning then relayed the detailed information about the Jinwu Mausoleum to Su Heng, and as for the remaining matters of exploring the mausoleum, Su Heng would carry them out independently.

Both parties got what they needed. Su Heng got the whereabouts of the "Second Heart". Zhao Yingning led the tribe to the long-awaited peace. The cooperation was quite pleasant. Zhao Yingning and Su Heng were not at the same level in terms of status and strength. But as a partner, Su Heng still gave Zhao Yingning enough respect, which made the latter a little flattered.

After finalizing the details of the cooperation, we decided to set off that day.

Zhao Yingning and her brother were still with her, while Su Heng brought more than a dozen dragon guards led by Wang Xinlong and rushed towards the direction of Xi Marsh. It took Zhao Yingning and her brother more than a month to leave Xi Marsh and come to the real world.

The harsh natural environment in Xi Swamp, the powerful and rampant beasts, and the increasingly common demons are the main reasons that hinder their actions.

But with Su Heng leading the team, the journey was smooth.

No matter what kind of strange beast, demon, or even the terrible dust storm in the desert, Su Heng just punched it, and in an instant, everything was calm and the whole world was quiet.

Under such horrific violence, the journey that would have taken more than a month was shortened to half a day. This was because Zhao Yingning and her brother had limited physical strength and could not withstand such an exaggerated speed. Otherwise, Su Heng could have gone even faster and shortened the time even more.

"Cough, cough!" Zhao Yingning covered her chest and coughed twice, then patted Su Heng's arm in pain.

Su Heng released the gravity, flashed and fell lightly from mid-air.

He loosened his fingers and put Zhao Yingning down.

Zhao Yingning's legs softened, and she half-knelt on the cracked dry Gobi Desert, holding her stomach and spitting out a few mouthfuls of sour water. She reached out to wipe the saliva from the corners of her mouth, walked to Su Heng, pointed to a cave under the rock wall in front of her and said, "This is where our people live."

Su Heng looked in the direction Zhao Yingning pointed.

There were lush thorn bushes growing under the steep rock wall, covering the entrance of the cave and forming a natural camouflage. If you didn't look at it deliberately, it would be easy to overlook it. Although Su Heng's memory was a little fuzzy, he remembered that the last time he came here, it didn't seem to be in this location.

But this is normal. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone these rebels who have been fighting wits and courage with demons for hundreds of years.

"You don't look well." Su Heng's gaze lingered on Zhao Yingning's face for a moment, and then he spoke calmly.

It was indeed as Su Heng said, Zhao Yingning's face looked a little gloomy.

She said worriedly, "Normally, there should be tribal guards here."

"I hope the worst doesn't happen." Zhao Yingning put her hand on her chest, her breathing becoming heavier. Su Heng nodded slightly.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

A young dragon guard trotted up to Su Heng and bowed, "We found traces of demons nearby."

Su Heng and Zhao Yingning looked at each other and said, "Since we have seen it, let's just kill it."

The Dragon Guards quickly took action, and Su Heng followed to take a look.

There were three wolf-like demons, with bulging muscles and hair that shone in the bright sunlight, like smooth silk. They were fighting with seven or eight rebels. It was not accurate to say they were fighting, but more like a one-sided toy and slaughter like a cat playing with a mouse.

Except for one strong old man who could pose some threat, the rest were no match at all.

This group of people were covered in wounds, and were now relying on hatred to hold on.

Get orders.

The young dragon guard just now rushed forward impatiently. When the wolf demon heard the noise and saw the dragon guard's burly figure, he was surprised at first. Then he wrinkled his nose and carefully felt the breath of the dragon guard. After discovering that he had just entered the demon fetus realm, the vigilance on the wolf demon's face turned into a grim smile.

As we all know, in the same realm.

In most cases, demons are stronger than human warriors, and this jackal demon is at a slightly higher level. It should be around level 4 or 5. If it were in the former Baihua County, it would be enough to become a demon king in the Heavenly Demon Alliance.

"Don't fight with me. I'll take care of him." The jackal demon spoke to his two companions, warning with bared teeth.

Ignoring the curses of his companions, the jackal demon grinned grimly.

A faint green light flashed in his eyes, his hair fluttered, and then he opened his mouth and pounced towards the young dragon guard.

boom!
The smile on Long Wei's face was a little shy.

But the punch was so powerful that the wolf demon's head exploded.

The red and white brain matter was splattered on Long Wei's young and handsome face, making that somewhat shy smile look creepy and terrifying.

The remaining two jackals were so frightened when they saw this that they screamed "Ah Woo". The two demons were quite clever, getting on all fours and tucking their tails between their buttocks to flee, but they were still a step too slow.

The dragon guard stepped forward, bent down, and swung his ape arms.

call out!
The spear in his hand turned into a black light and spanned a distance of thousands of meters in an instant.

It was like a high-precision missile that hit a jackal demon's buttocks hard, and half of the unlucky demon's body exploded directly. Various internal organs were scattered everywhere like flowers from heaven, dyeing the ground dark red, and the demon was dead on the spot.

The dragon guard took a big step forward, and three steps turned into two.

Amidst the sharp howls of despair, the spine of the last jackal demon was broken several times.

Like a meat dog waiting to be slaughtered, the Dragon Guard picked him up in one hand and brought him to Su Heng half-dead.

"Sir, maybe we can get some useful information out of this guy."

The dragon guard raised his head and said.

"You are quite clever." Su Heng raised his eyebrows and laughed, "What's your name?"

The dragon guard showed a look of joy on his face, and he stepped forward to hug him, and said excitedly, "My name is Pang Xuan, from Lianshan City."

Su Heng nodded and wrote down the name.

"You just answer whatever the master asks you! Do you understand?" Pang Xuan slapped the jackal demon on the head, and more than ten of the latter's protruding fangs broke directly. Scarlet blood wet the hair and dripped down the chin.

The demon knew that he was doomed to die, so he became tough instead.

Its eyes were red and it stared at Su Heng with hatred.

"Don't be happy too soon, human, we'll see!" The wolf demon scratched the dry ground with its two front paws, leaving holes on it. It slowly grinned, with a bloodthirsty and crazy smile on its face, "If we die here, Lord Kuilang Star Lord will not let you go."

"All of you will be buried with me." The jackal demon grinned.

Unfortunately, the gap between the two was too big. The insignificant threat from this demon not only failed to intimidate him, but also made Su Heng smile.

"Kuilang Star Lord." Su Heng touched his chin, an interested expression emerged on his face.

"He's an acquaintance, quite interesting." Su Heng signaled the dragon guard to let the demon go. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the jackal demon closed its eyes. But the pain of death did not come, instead a tingling sensation penetrated his bones. His body was still in great pain, but now he was able to move.

"Tell your master to let it come here to see me, as soon as possible." Su Heng's superior gaze was filled with a hint of coldness, "Just say that there are still some grievances between us that have not been resolved. I will not wait any longer. Let it come quickly and die."
