Actually, I'm very confused and can't figure out the reason why these demon guards left.
But this was a chance for us after all, so we didn't have time to think too much. The three of us tacitly acted separately as quickly as possible, fearing that it would be bad if those demon guards suddenly came back and blocked our home.
I rushed to the houses on the east side, but I didn't notice any demonic energy nearby. I simply didn't cover up, and kicked the doors open one by one with my feet. I went in and searched them one by one, but I still didn't see Zhang Qi.
.
So when I entered the last room, I didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, I scanned around with my mental power. However, these houses were all made of wood, and they didn't look like they were hiding secret rooms.
Even if we use our mental strength to explore underground, we can only see a thick piece of frozen soil. Except for the secret passage we came from, there is no cavity that could be an underground chamber.
"There aren't any of these houses, right?"
Zhuo Yi's voice came from behind me, and then the sound of her shoes colliding with the wooden floor: "There is no one in the rooms over there. Now it depends on whether Daniel can be found."
"Hey, actually I didn't have high hopes."
I shrugged, turned around and said to Zhuo Yi: "Those demon guards are not stupid. Even if they go out to do errands, they can't leave someone to guard Zhang Qi.
Now that there is no one here, the conclusion is already obvious, that is, Zhang Qi may not be locked up here at all, this place is simply prepared by Yu Chi for us."
"I say so. You will come anyway, so there is no need for Yu Chi to keep Zhang Qi with her. Maybe she would have sent someone to send that bitch back to Tianxin Island."
Zhuo Yi groaned as if he had a toothache: "You don't have to be so persistent at all. Zhang Qi was mentally prepared the moment she decided to help you. Even if she really dies for you, it will be her life."
, she is willing to do so.
On the contrary, it's you. We were lucky this time. When we ran to look for someone, we happened to meet Yu Chi leading those demon guards out. But next time, can you guarantee that your luck will be this good every time?
If we continue to be so serious and continue to stay on Tianxin Island to mess around with Fan Ji and Yu Chi, then nothing may happen next. Real brother, listen to my advice, there is really no need for us to risk our lives because of a woman.
.”
The way Zhuo Yi spoke was truly heartfelt.
But I didn't listen at all. Instead, my brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and I kept sorting out the context of the whole thing.
Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Zhuo Yi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes: "Hey, where are the chicken feathers? What's wrong? You didn't find your little lover, so you started to act heartbroken with us?"
"No, no."
I shook my head, looked at Zhuo Yi with a serious expression and asked, "Do you feel that we seem to have taken it for granted and thought that Zhang Qi should be in Yu Chi's hands, so we overlooked some important details."
Zhuo Yi rolled his eyes: "What details are there? Don't be so nagging, tell me quickly."
I asked her: "Do you remember when we were in St. Petersburg, a ghost tribe came to us with Zhang Qi's passport, saying that Zhang Qi is now in their hands and they want to exchange her with me for Tong Ruoqing?"
"I don't remember, when did it happen?"
She was a little impatient at first, but then she began to frown slowly: "Hey, don't tell me, it seems that there is indeed such a thing. At that time, you wanted to kill the ghost clan directly, but then you were
Tong Ruoqing stopped it and let it go, right?
Later, Shen Gongxu also asked me to check whether there were any traces of ghost activities in Europe. I was very busy at the time and had a lot of things to do, so I just found a subordinate and asked him to check, but I guess he
Maybe I didn’t find any clues later, and I haven’t reported it to me until now.”
I said 'hmm': "Yes, in fact, no one paid much attention to this matter at the time. They thought that the ghost tribe happened to have obtained Zhang Qi's passport, and then came to us to bluff.
Duke Shen must have thought the same way. He had always believed that the blood clan did not dare to unite with Tianxin Island, because once this matter was exposed, Duan Tian's inner demon, who had the deepest relationship with the ghost clan, would be attacked by the entire Hades.
But now I really doubt our initial judgment. There are only a dozen of her demon guards on Sakhalin Island, but neither you nor Daniel, your men found Zhang Qi when they were following them.
Is this normal? Could it be that Yu Chi used some magic to hide Zhang Qi?
I don’t think it’s realistic, so Zhuo Yi, do you think it’s possible that Zhang Qi is really in the hands of the ghost clan? I want to hear your thoughts.”
"My idea is, don't be so absolute first."
Zhuo Yi shook his head slightly: "First, even if Zhang Qi is not with Yu Chi, she may still be guarded by Fan Ji, or even simply sent back to the island.
Second, as Mr. Shen said, I really don’t understand the meaning of the alliance between the ghost clan and Tianxin Island. One is in the human world and the other is in the ghost world. They can’t help each other, can they?”
I also shook my head: "Not necessarily, not necessarily, yes, the ghost tribe and Tianxin Island are in the ghost world and the other is in the human world, but have you ever thought that the ghost tribe has always wanted to hunt in the human world?
Under the dual constraints of Heaven and Hades, they cannot move freely on the mainland, but the island is not restricted by Heaven and is the traditional sphere of influence of Tianxin Island. Don't the two sides hit it off immediately?
Also, if Tianxin Island really wants to cause trouble in the future, the ghost tribe will definitely be their first target. Once the ghost tribe makes trouble in the ghost world, the underworld will have to suppress it, which will inevitably involve a lot of their energy.
Yes, wouldn’t it be impossible to deal with Tianxin Island with all our strength?”
"Your angle of analyzing the problem... I have to say it is quite reasonable."
Zhuo Yi seemed to be moved by my words, and his expression began to become serious: "If it is like what you said, Tianxin Island and the ghost tribe start to join forces, this will be interesting."
I nodded: "Yes, so I think our next step should be to change our approach. Instead of worrying about the demon guards on Tianxin Island, we should try to find out if there are any traces of ghost activities on the island.
If so, we may be able to find Zhang Qi by following this clue, and maybe we can also find evidence of their alliance. Then I will take this evidence to the underworld and ask Zhulong to personally lead the Nine Palaces of Hell to find Duan Tian’s inner demon.
If you don’t have any trouble, then a lot of troubles will be solved.”
"We'll talk about this later."
Zhuo Yi didn't let me go around him, but waved his hand first: "Let's discuss it carefully when we get back. The first thing to do now is to leave here. Don't worry about it when you come back soon... Damn it, where are the Daniels?
