August was the hottest time on Pfister, and it was also the dry season where rain was rare.
The average temperature during the day was above 40 degrees, but it would drop to about 20 degrees at night. Even for ordinary people, it was relatively comfortable at night, let alone cultivators.
Moreover, when one looked up, the sky was filled with stars, and it was rare that one could not see the starry sky.
The main reason Lin Huang and the others had stationed the Sword Alliance here was that this planet was the closest to the dimensional portal from the gravel world to the great world.
Lin Huang lay on the roof, silently looking at the unfamiliar starry sky above him.
He quickly identified the other planets in the nearby Devil Hunter Star Zone and also found a planet that was suspected to be the dimensional portal.
The dimensional portal planet was located in the same galaxy as Pfister. Although it was only a dwarf planet and was far away from the star, its reflected light was relatively weak. However, it was too close to Pfister and could still be seen with the naked eye.
Lin Huang had just found the planet that was suspected to be the dimensional portal and was about to use Divine Telekinesis to confirm it when his communicator suddenly vibrated.
He clicked on the communication page. It was a message from an unknown number.
"Are you in the Devil Hunter Star Zone now?"
Lin Huang was stunned when he saw it, and a thin figure instantly appeared in his mind.
"Yang Ling?!"
The only person he could think of who liked to contact him with an unknown number and could directly lock onto his coordinates was Yang Ling, who was also a transmigrator.
He was about to reply to the message and ask if the other party was Yang Ling when another message came.
This time, it was from another unknown number.
"Don't reply to me. The message just now was just to reconfirm your current location. "
Almost at the same time, another unknown number sent a message.
"See you tomorrow morning. We'll talk when we meet. (Don't reply) "
After closing the communication page, Lin Huang frowned slightly.
It seemed that Yang Ling was in big trouble. Otherwise, he would not have been so cautious.
He still clearly remembered that the last time Yang Ling sent a message was more than four months ago. At that time, he was in closed-door cultivation, and it was almost two months before he saw the message. When he called back, the number was already out of service.
What was more concerning was that Yang Ling had only sent one sentence — "Take care of Hong Zhuang for me …"
At that time, he even suspected that something had happened to Yang Ling.
Fortunately, more than four months had passed, and he finally received a message from Yang Ling.
This made Lin Huang feel slightly relieved. At least there was a message, which meant that Yang Ling should be in a safe state for the time being.
"We'll know what's going on when we meet tomorrow morning," Lin Huang muttered to himself.
Looking at the time, it was already past one in the morning.
He returned to his bedroom in a flash, took a quick shower, and went to sleep.
Actually, with his current strength, his fleshly body was not tainted by dust at all, nor did he need to sleep.
It was just a habit. When he wasn't cultivating, he still maintained his original habits of eating, sleeping, and bathing.
The next morning, Lin Huang woke up early.
After washing up, it was not even six in the morning yet.
The reason why he woke up so early was that he had an appointment with Yang Ling in the wee hours of the morning. Another reason was that he wanted to try breakfast at a small shop.
The breakfast shop was bustling with business in the morning, so Lin Huang did not want to queue, so he chose to wake up early instead.
After washing up, he scanned the shop with his Divine Telekinesis and realized that the shop had just opened. In a flash, he appeared at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
After ordering two trays of their signature buns and a bowl of plain porridge, Lin Huang sat down and waited patiently for the buns to be served.
Less than two seconds after he sat down, a silhouette appeared.
Seeing the person, Lin Huang was completely stunned. It took him a while to snap back to his senses.
"Why are you here? Where's Yang Ling? "
It was Hong Zhuang!
Lin Huang looked at her from head to toe. Hong Zhuang was different from before, and her entire aura had changed.
Not only was she not as alluring as she used to be, but she was also not wearing her red dress anymore. Instead, she had changed into a green one, and there was a hint of worry in between her brows.
"Yang Ling … he's dead …" Hong Zhuang hesitated for a moment, but she said it anyway.
"Yang Ling's dead?!" Lin Huang was in disbelief. He squinted at Hong Zhuang and asked, "Who was the one who sent me the message in the wee hours of the morning?"
"It was me," Hong Zhuang said, and three screenshots of the messages popped up.
The screenshots showed that the messages were indeed sent from her side.
"Then how did you pinpoint my location?! My communication device is clearly off, "Lin Huang questioned again. From what he remembered, only Yang Ling had such a technique. It was useless even if his communication device was off.
"He transferred the Goldfinger to me before he died," Hong Zhuang said. Lin Huang kept staring at her, but he did not look like he was lying.
Lin Huang knew that Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang were close. However, he did not think that Yang Ling would tell Hong Zhuang about the traveler and the Goldfinger so easily. After all, he had been betrayed before. It was extremely difficult for him to trust someone wholeheartedly again.
However, what Hong Zhuang said convinced Lin Huang.
That was because Yang Ling might have made a follow-up plan when he was definitely going to die. Transferring the Goldfinger to someone else in order to prevent the Raiders from obtaining his Goldfinger sounded like something Yang Ling would do. It was logical that Hong Zhuang was the recipient of the Goldfinger. After all, they were a couple.
Although theoretically, only travelers could use the Goldfinger. Yang Ling's Goldfinger was incomplete after all. Moreover, with his intelligence and ability, it was not impossible for him to find a way to transfer the Goldfinger to Hong Zhuang.
"He asked me to look for you." Hong Zhuang did not avoid Lin Huang's scrutinizing gaze. "He also said that the only traveler he could trust in this world was you."
Lin Huang fell into deep thought when he heard that.
It sounded a little mushy, but it did sound like something Yang Ling would say before he died. Hong Zhuang probably did not make it up.
"How did he die?" Lin Huang asked again after sorting out his thoughts.
"We were targeted by the Raiders as soon as we arrived in the great world. Yang Ling's Goldfinger was only a remnant. The person who took his Goldfinger could sense its approximate location. That was why we've been on the run for the past few years in the great world.
"About four and a half months ago, the person who took Yang Ling's Goldfinger did it himself. That's a Core Deity, and he easily locked onto our hiding place … Yang Ling sensed that the layers of traps he set up were easily broken, and he knew that the other party had come looking for him, so he transferred the secret information in his brain and his cheat to me, then sent me out. "
"So, you didn't see Yang Ling die with your own eyes?" Lin Huang asked.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I'm sure of it," Hong Zhuang explained patiently. Hong Zhuang explained patiently, "I can sense that his remaining aura has completely disappeared from the Goldfinger."
"You don't have to worry that the Goldfinger in me will attract the Lord. When Yang Ling had transferred the Goldfinger into my body, he had completely reset the Goldfinger. Although the reset caused the Goldfinger to lose most of its functions, it also cut off the connection with the original Goldfinger. Otherwise, I would've been caught long ago. "
"Let's find a place to talk." Lin Huang looked at the steamed buns and asked the lady boss to pack them.
Lin Huang brought Hong Zhuang back to the Sword Alliance's base with the breakfast.
