Chapter 67: Even with the answer, how can you still not find someone? As the Marshal of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Hao naturally would not talk to Wang Nan and the others for too long. After a brief chat, he arranged for the sergeant to lead the two to a guest room. "My name is Pan Yue, and I am currently serving as a lieutenant under the Marshal. If you two need anything, please feel free to ask." "Captain Pan, you are too polite. Speaking of which, I do have something to ask. I just heard from the Marshal that he had done some investigations on that group of evil soul masters. I wonder if I could borrow the results of the investigation?" "Of course." Pan Yue seemed to be well prepared and quickly brought some information, most of which recorded the places these evil soul masters had visited. Watching Wang Nan and Gong Yang Mo looking through the intelligence, Pan Yue also began to talk about what happened not long ago. "Speaking of which, the actions of this group of evil soul masters are very covert. Although the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire have not yet gone to war, small groups of troops from the Sun-Moon Empire often appear around Tianming City to destroy surrounding facilities and villages." "Many civilians were displaced as a result, and these evil soul masters targeted these people. Women and children are not as strong as adult men, and it is common for them to go missing during the escape. Therefore, no one noticed the existence of this group of evil soul masters at first." "But six nights ago, a group of soldiers patrolling the villages around Tianming City encountered this group of evil soul masters. The soldiers suffered heavy losses, but they still managed to kill two enemies. That's when we learned that there was such a group of evil soul masters around Tianming City." There was a hint of anger in Pan Yue's tone when he said this.
"The Marshal ordered to track down the evil soul masters, but something seems to have happened in the Sun-Moon Empire in recent days. The number of troops near the border has suddenly increased. Soldiers with soul power are in important positions and have to be on guard against the movements of the Sun-Moon Empire at all times. Every time they have time, these evil soul masters disappear again, so nothing has been found until now." Wang Nan knew little about military affairs and did not ask for details. He just took the intelligence and looked through it carefully for a moment, then looked at Pan Yue. "Captain Pan, do you have a more detailed map of the area around Tianming City?" "Yes, please wait." Pan Yue turned and left the guest room. As a captain, he was supposed to lead troops into battle, so he naturally wouldn't bring things like maps with him. A moment later, Pan Yue walked in with a map. Wang Nan reached out to take it, but Pan Yue did not let go at the first moment. "Excuse me for being so nosy. You two may not know this, but maps are extremely important in the military. Please do not pass on the information on the maps." "Of course." Pan Yue let go only after seeing Wang Nan and Gong Yang Mo agreed. Wang Nan opened the map and finally understood why Pan Yue was so cautious. The map not only marked the villages and facilities near Tianming City, but also marked various terrain conditions and road conditions. If the Sun and Moon Empire got it, they would have already lost half the battle before the battle even started. However, Wang Nan was not very interested in these. He picked up the materials from the evil soul master and matched the locations recorded in the materials with the map one by one. At first glance, the movement routes of this group of evil soul masters were completely irregular, and there were traces of their activities around Tianming City, but soon, he set his sights on the area west of Tianming City. The southwest of the original Douluo Continent is connected to the Sun-Moon Continent, with the Mingdou Mountains as the boundary between the two. Although Tianming City is the first city of the Xingluo Empire to defend against the Sun-Moon Empire, it is not actually located directly on the border between the two countries. There is a large area to the east of the Mingdou Mountains and to the west of Tianming City, which is also the most chaotic place. After thinking for a moment, Wang Nan raised his head and said, "Thank you, Captain Pan. Please keep these things. We will set off tomorrow." "Thank you for your hard work." Pan Yue took the things and walked out of the room. "Is there something wrong?" Gong Yangmo knew Wang Nan well, and seeing his expression, he knew that Wang Nan must have discovered something. "It's just a guess, and I can't be sure yet." Although Wang Nan said this, he felt in his heart that his guess was probably right. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, evil soul masters are a group of people who kill innocent people indiscriminately and act recklessly, and their actions are completely irregular. But Wang Nan knew that there was actually an evil soul master organization on this continent called the Holy Spirit Church. What was even more coincidental was that the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters was within the Sun-Moon Empire, and it was in collusion with the Sun-Moon Empire. Every time this group of evil soul masters appeared, they could seize the opportunity for the Xingluo Empire's military actions, and their goal was not just to kill people. In fact, according to Pan Yue, they didn't know that there were evil soul masters before they discovered the truth about the missing people. Unlike ordinary evil soul masters who kill people at will, they set their sights on children and concealed their tracks, and happened to be on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire. Wang Nan already knew about the Holy Spirit Church, and the things in front of him had to make him think in this direction.
"Tomorrow we will start our search from the west of Tianming City. I hope Ye Xiaosheng's soul guide detector can be useful." âŠâŠ In fact, when Wang Nan and Gong Yangmo left the city, it was already the evening of the next day. The two did not use flying soul guides, and did not even release their martial spirits. They just wore dark clothes and moved forward close to the ground. The army must have soul guide devices similar to telescopes on hand. This is the border between two countries, and given Gong Yang Mo's conspicuousness, he would be targeted by the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guide cannons as soon as he approaches the Mingdou Mountains. Therefore, they chose to go out of the city to explore at night. After all, soul guide detectors don't rely on light to find the traces of soul masters. The detection radius of Ye Xiaosheng's upgraded soul guide detector is about three kilometers. Judging from the distance alone, it has exceeded Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection. It was not until late at night that Wang Nan and Gong Yang Mo found a secluded place and sat there to rest and recover their strength. "No wonder the White Tiger Duke asked the academy for help." Gong Yangmo took two gulps of water and said in a low voice, "We have been searching for such a long time with our soul guides, but we didn't even encounter an evil soul master." "It took a lot of effort to find the shadow of a spirit master twice, but it turned out to be a patrol team from Tianming City. Let alone these ordinary soldiers under the White Tiger Duke, even if other disciples from the inner courtyard came, it would probably be difficult to complete this mission." "Yes." Even when Wang Nan was resting, his eyes did not leave the screen of the soul guide detector. "I told Xiaosheng that this is the most correct way to use the soul guide, but he still doesn't believe it." As he was speaking, Wang Nan suddenly saw a large area of ââwhite spots appear in the northwest direction on the screen of the soul guide detector. There was no doubt that this was a team composed of soul masters. Wang Nan stood up and looked towards the northwest. "I told you, how can I not find someone with the answer?" î„Thanks to Li Sheng, Cheng 129, Gu Chen and Wo Zheng Feng, and Shu You 20230909739868 for their monthly ticket support î„î„ î„ (End of this chapter)
