The woman pursed her lips and remained silent.
However, from her gaze and the girl's words, Ye Zichen was already certain that Huo Xie's subordinates were present.
"Seriously."
"I don't know why you're silent. Someone might have asked or threatened you to do so."
"I respect your decision."
"But I have to tell you, even if you remain silent, I can still find them."
The woman bit her lips.
She clenched her fists.
Ye Zichen gave her another half a minute, but she still didn't say anything.
"Alright."
"If you don't want to say, then I won't ask. It's just a pity that I can clearly save your husband, but you missed this chance."
With that, Ye Zichen turned to leave.
"Han Qing, no need to check anymore. Let's continue!"
"Understood!"
Han Qing received the order and left.
The woman bit her lips. When she saw that Ye Zichen was about to leave … "Wa-Wait a moment."
A smile flashed across Ye Zichen's face when he heard the woman's call, but his gaze remained cold.
"What is it?"
"You … Can you really save my husband?"
The woman clenched her fists and placed them on her chest. "Recently, my husband has truly become very strange. His strangeness makes me feel afraid. I feel like that isn't him at all, but … I said it from the start, I came to save you."
Her words might have been an exaggeration.
Ye Zichen wasn't so noble as to save the people from disaster.
His reason for pursuing Huo Xie was very simple. He wanted to kill him.
Ye Zichen felt disgusted just by living! If he didn't get rid of this rat that liked to hide in the gutter, then who knew what kind of trouble he would bring to Ye Zichen in the future.
As for saving the others …
It was purely out of convenience.
While they were fighting for resources, they were also reorganizing and managing the planet, using it as their base of operations in preparation for the future StarCraft.
However, these words were exactly what the commoners needed.
For example, the woman in front of him.
"Alright, I believe you," the woman panted.
The woman panted heavily and trembled. "My husband joined a kingdom organization some time ago."
"Kingdom?
！”
Ye Zichen frowned.
"Yes, we've never heard of this kingdom either."
"What kingdom?"
"The Empire of Fire!"
The woman exhaled deeply. "If I remember correctly, this is the name of the kingdom.
Two years ago, this kingdom claimed to be from the Core Circle and came here to recruit personal guards.
Anyone who can become the king's personal guard has the right to live in the Inner Circle. "
"Continue."
Ye Zichen asked.
"The requirements to be a Personal Guard are very strict. They need to be at least at the Star System Level 6 or above. My husband only joined the kingdom last year.
The Flame Brand you mentioned just now was branded by the kingdom's Great Mage. It's said that it can receive the kingdom's blessing and control the power of fire. "
Great Daoist Master! This was definitely the Fire Pyrolysis! Ye Zichen understood. The woman was still talking to herself.
"In the beginning, it was pretty good. My husband joined the personal guard group, and the commission he received was more than ten times that of before.
The living conditions of the family had also been greatly improved.
Furthermore, what the Great Master said was true. On the third day of possessing the flame imprint, my husband was able to use the power of flames! "
"You know … In order to control the Elemental Lands, one has to be at least at the Advanced Universe Level.
My husband was able to do it at the Star System Level. This caused him to acknowledge the kingdom to an insane degree! "
"It wasn't just my husband."
"Everyone who joined the personal guard group in our town, including the other towns, acknowledged the kingdom to the point of going insane.
They would promote the kingdom as they pleased. Anyone who slandered the kingdom would be beaten up, while the more serious ones would be killed. "
"Even if it was me … I only said a few words and asked him if he had seen that kingdom before, but he didn't say anything.
Because he's never been to the Core Circle before, he hit me with just one sentence. In the past, he would never hit me, not even when he was talking loudly! "
"According to my observations."
"Every time he released flames, his actions would become more and more twisted. I tried to persuade him to use it less, but he didn't listen at all."
It was most likely because the Flame Imprint was a method of corrosion.
When the Flame Imprint was first placed, it would grant him a certain amount of control over flames.
However, as long as you used it, the flames would corrode your heart and mind … In the end, you would be completely under Huo Xie's control! Back in the newbie village, Huo Xie might very well have used this method to make everyone in the village respect him without the slightest bit of doubt.
"That imprint is actually a way to corrode their hearts," Ye Zichen explained to the woman.
"The more he uses it, the more it corrodes his body.
In the end, his heart will be completely controlled. Even if he wants to break free, he won't be able to. "
"Then can my husband be saved?"
The woman asked nervously.
"It should be possible."
Ye Zichen hesitated for a moment, then replied. "This sort of spiritual shackles will naturally be undone once the caster dies.
To tell you the truth, the town I was once in was controlled by him. I experienced that kind of tragedy, and I don't want our town to suffer the same fate again, which is why I decided to end his life.
Now, I need you to tell me, where is that Great Master? "
"He's not in town right now."
Said the woman.
"He left?"
"Yes, he left the town three days ago, and took all of the kingdom's personal guards with him. My husband is one of them. They asked us not to reveal their whereabouts!"
The woman crossed her arms and said worriedly. "My lord, will my husband be able to come back alive?
I'm really scared … "" Don't worry, "Ye Zichen smiled towards the woman.
Ye Zichen smiled at the woman, then his gaze darkened.
It seems like Huo Xie already knows that I'm marching.
He should also know that they're coming for me.
Is that why he gathered his forces in advance in preparation for the final battle?
What a sly guy.
No wonder I didn't see a single one of his subordinates.
He took them all away! "Then do you know the direction of their empire?"
The woman shook her head silently, then reached out her hand, "I only remember that my husband left from the north gate. There were a lot of people there, at least several hundred thousand …" "You bitch!"
"You actually dared to leak the empire's secrets!"
Suddenly, a furious roar sounded out from the sky, and a pillar of fire descended from the sky.
Ye Zichen immediately hugged the woman.
The flames landed on his cloak.
Looking up, he saw a dense crowd of people standing in the air, their palms burning with flames.
Right in front of them was the old man with the smile on his face.
"Brat!"
"Long time no see!"
