Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Yan Ling Ji, watch out! He's secretly poisoning us!"

With the help of the Star Chart Candle Dragon in his sea of ​​consciousness to cheat for the past half month, and with his diligent cultivation, Chen Hao has already mastered the "Longhu Mountain Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

Although her cultivation level is far inferior to that of Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang, but...

Combined with Chen Hao's current extraordinary perception talent (mobile phone radio frequency chip), he was able to detect every minute detail happening within a radius of tens of meters around him.

Just now, the King of Poisons took advantage of Yan Lingji's momentary lapse in concentration to secretly poison her and Chen Hao.

Ding! Ding! Ding! ~~~

The Corpse-Driving Demon waved its staff, deflecting all the crossbow bolts fired by Chen Hao. Then, it looked with interest at the crossbow in Chen Hao's hand: "What an exquisite crossbow! Is it a work of the Mohist school or the Gongshu school?"

Phew~!

Yan Lingji turned around and used her lightness skill to take Chen Hao back dozens of steps. Then she turned back and looked angrily at Bai Du Wang: "Grandpa, what do you mean? Do you really want to fight me to the death?"

While speaking, Yan Lingji did not forget to release her flames to burn away any toxins that might be present in the air.

The witchcraft and sorcery practiced in the Baiyue region is vastly different from the orthodox martial arts of the Central Plains. Among them, Yan Lingji is exceptionally talented and, having inherited the lineage of fire witchcraft, is particularly adept at using fire attacks.

The King of Poisons is skilled in making and using poisons, as well as the Gu technique of controlling snakes.

However, in terms of status, the Corpse-Driving Demon, the leader of the Hidden Witches who is skilled in transporting corpses, holds the highest position.

The Baiyue and Xiangchu regions have a long-standing tradition of transporting corpses over long distances, and these corpse-transporters are known as hidden shamans. When hidden shamans appear, there is usually a legend that the netherworld and the realm of the dead are in chaos, all living beings are scattered, and in the underworld and the heavens, a hundred ghosts roam at night.

They belong to the dark world, yet they are connected to the light.

In the eyes of the Baiyue people, where they go after death is determined by the hidden shaman.

This determined the pride of the Hidden Witches and their love for the Baiyue people, among whom the Corpse-Driving Demon, as the leader of the Hidden Witches, was the most outstanding.

"Alright, everyone calm down!" The Corpse-Driving Demon's cold voice rang out, stopping the fight between Yan Lingji and the Hundred Poison King from escalating further. "Don't forget why we've gathered here."

"Humph!"

The King of Poisons snorted angrily, then withdrew all the poison and snakes he had been controlling.

Yan Lingji tactfully withdrew her flames and gracefully led Chen Hao forward, saying, "Of course I haven't forgotten the main purpose of our gathering here today."

"You should know that in order to arrive at this place on time, I have been traveling continuously for half a month."

Transportation is not as convenient in this day and age as it is in later generations!

Most of the time spent on short trips is spent traveling.

Especially during this period, the Baiyue region was sparsely populated, with no roads, and was covered in dense forests, poisonous insects, and miasma.

In the past two weeks, Chen Hao and Yan Lingji have not been able to travel on horseback, let alone encounter a village on the road.

"..."

As for Chen Hao, he remained silent, carefully following behind Yan Lingji, vigilantly watching the movements of the Hundred Poison King, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Peerless Ghost.

He didn't even intend to put the melon grenade he had just taken into his hand back.

Melon grenade!

This was naturally created by Chen Hao after he attained complete memory ability, allowing him to recall every word of the knowledge he had ever seen before, and then using the [Concept Furnace] to make it for self-defense.

Even a monster as powerful and skilled in physical combat as Musou Ghost would probably not be able to withstand the explosive force of the Melon Grenade.

The Corpse-Driving Demon ignored Yan Lingji's complaints and said seriously, "We have already investigated the approximate location of Lord Tianze."

After speaking, the Corpse-Driving Demon stared at Chen Hao behind Yan Lingji for a moment, and warned:

"I hope that you, Yan Lingji, can distinguish between what is important and what is not, and will not forget our mission."

"Where is my lord?" Yan Lingji rarely showed a serious expression. "I will not forget my mission and the mission of the Baiyue people."

Even so, the Corpse-Driving Demon did not reveal any information to Yan Lingji directly, but instead stared intently at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao glanced helplessly at the Corpse-Driving Demon, then turned to Yan Lingji: "Yan Lingji is the only person I am close to in this world. I would never betray Yan Lingji, no matter who else I betray."

Then, the Corpse-Driving Demon looked at Yan Lingji with a questioning gaze.

"I can guarantee Xiao Chenhao's loyalty; he would never betray me," Yan Lingji assured the Corpse-Driving Demon without hesitation. "Don't forget what I'm good at?"

"Under the Fire Charm Technique, no one can surpass me in manipulating people's hearts."

Yan Lingji naturally understood that her fire charm technique had no effect on Chen Hao.

However, knowing Chen Hao's background and having spent time together, Yan Lingji and Chen Hao, two equally lonely people, have developed an indescribable bond.

It was this feeling that made them certain that the other would never betray them.

The Corpse-Driving Demon was relieved: "In that case, I will tell you the approximate location of our master."

This time, even the King of Poisons did not show any intention to refute.

The reason why the Corpse Demon and the Hundred Poison King could believe that Chen Hao would not betray them was more because they believed in the Fire Witch lineage's Fire Charm Technique.

They didn't believe that Chen Hao, with his mediocre cultivation, could withstand the Fire Enchantment Technique of the Fire Witch lineage.

"South Korea!" The Corpse Demon turned to look in the direction of South Korea. "According to the information we've gathered, Lord Tianze is probably being imprisoned within South Korea."

Chapter 012 Preparing for the Trip to South Korea and Taking a Break

"As expected!"

Yan Lingji showed no surprise at the answer.

More than ten years ago, when Han Wang An was still a prince of Han, he planned a joint Han-Chu army to conquer Baiyue, which led to the devastation of Baiyue people and indirectly caused the extermination of Huoyu Manor. Baiyue Crown Prince Tianze was captured by the Nightfall Organization.

Ultimately, Han An ascended the throne based on his outstanding military achievements in the conquest of the Baiyue.

At that time, Yan Lingji, who was not yet ten years old, was taken in as a retainer by Crown Prince Tianze because of her extraordinary talent.

As for why it took the King of Poisons, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Peerless Ghost nearly ten years to find the whereabouts of Prince Tianze.

Firstly, when Prince Tianze was captured by the Nightfall Organization, all the Baiyue people in the surrounding area had already been wiped out, so the news of Prince Tianze's capture had not even spread.

Another reason, of course, is that information transmission in this era is inherently sluggish.

Furthermore, after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed and Crown Prince Tianze was captured, there were very few people left in the Baiyue region who could help them search for Crown Prince Tianze.

One emperor and one courtier!

After the Yue Kingdom was destroyed and disintegrated, not every leader of the various Baiyue tribes wanted another person above them to oppress them.

“It must have been done by the Koreans ten years ago.” The King of Poisons’ eyes revealed hatred. “Ten years ago, the Baiyue people suffered terribly, and the royal family was slaughtered. We must seek revenge against the Koreans for this.”

“As long as King Han An sits on the throne, I will never let Han rest.”

"Roar~~~!" Wushuang Gui roared, revealing a resentful expression.

"So, shall we head to South Korea now?"

Yan Lingji asked the Corpse-Driving Demon.

“That’s right!” The Corpse-Driving Demon nodded coldly, then slung his staff over his shoulder. “Next, we will split into several groups and then meet up in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.”

"Along the way, everyone should try to avoid causing any other trouble, and don't forget to collect any useful information."

Ding bell~!

After saying that, the Corpse-Driving Demon ignored Yan Lingji's reaction and led the Hundred Poison King and the Peerless Ghost towards the border of the Chu Kingdom.

Watching the three people walk away into the distance, Chen Hao looked at Yan Lingji speechlessly: "So that's it?"

"Hmm!" Yan Lingji nodded, then looked at Chen Hao with amusement: "Did little Chen Hao think there would be some trouble?"

Then Yan Lingji turned and left the ruins, heading towards the town she had just passed through:

"Let's go to that town we just passed through to rest and recuperate!"

"After traveling for half a month, I need to get some rest."

"No!" Chen Hao complained as he quickly caught up with Yan Lingji. "Did you travel for more than half a month just to deliver a few words?"

"Couldn't we find a more convenient way?"

"For example, sending messages by carrier pigeon, or leaving encrypted messages at a fixed location..."

"Or you could find a trustworthy subordinate to pass on messages to you, would that work?"

"You were once subordinates of Tianze, the former crown prince of Yue, and you have been working tirelessly for the Baiyue people."

Yan Lingji's sigh came, "Xiao Chenhao, you said it yourself, it was in the past! Now, it's already quite good that we can gather a few people to work together to rescue Crown Prince Tianze."

"As for things like sending messages by carrier pigeon or using encrypted messages, do you think all four of us would be able to do that?"

...

Upon arriving in the city, Chen Hao and Yan Lingji quickly found the best inn in the city.

"The innkeeper prepared two of the best rooms for us, and also provided us with the best bath water, fresh fruits and vegetables, meals, and roast meat."

The moment Chen Hao entered the inn, he called out to the innkeeper.

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately ran out to greet them, saying happily, "Great! We'll prepare it for you right away."
