"What? A Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph!"
Zhang Ruochen felt his heart leap and he quickly asked, "Did he tell you where he put that Glyph?"
The slave girl shook her head .
She was only a slave girl in Mu Qing's eyes, how could he have possibly told her the location of the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph?
Suddenly, she spoke again, "Mu Qing's life was well-ordered . If he wasn't on the Red Spider Vessel, he would be at his mansion in the black market . The Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph must be in one of these two places .
The Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph was indeed very precious . Not only could it help Zhang Ruochen practice his Spiritual Power, it could also help him perceive the way of the Half-Saint's Martial Arts .
It must be noted, Zhang Ruochen only reached the Completion of the Heaven Realm in his last life, and he was still very far from the Half-Saint Realm .
Zhang Ruochen had all the slave girls wait in the center section of the ship warehouse .
He headed to the lower level of the warehouse alone to look for the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph .
There were many secret rooms built in the lower level of the warehouse and each room was equipped with Inscriptions of Array . If a normal warrior were to break into here, it would be a dead end for him .
These Inscriptions of Array could not stop Zhang Ruochen . He only needed to use "Space Crack" to break through the Inscriptions of Array and enter the secret rooms .
In the secret rooms of the lowest level of the ship's warehouse stored enormous fortune . There were more than 80,000 Spiritual Crystals alone . There were also large amounts of Genuine Martial Arms, Pills, martial technique manuals, and other precious goods . The combined total of all the Practice resources definitely amounted to more than 150,000,000 silver coins .
Furthermore, the value of the Red Spider Vessel itself had yet to be included .
This was a huge source of wealth . It might be the entire fortune of the Poisonous Spider Club in the southern border of the Square Commandery .
If the Poisonous Spider Club knew that such wealth had fallen into Zhang Ruochen's hands, they would go crazy with rage .
Zhang Ruochen said, "The news will probably get out very quickly . Once the Poisonous Spider Club knows that the Red Spider Vessel has fallen into my hands, they will certainly dispatch a large number of masters to deal with me . "
Having searched the entire Red Spider Vessel, Zhang Ruochen still did not find the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph .
Seems like the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph must be located in Mu Qing's mansion in the black market .
Zhang Ruochen did not touch the Practice resources in the Red Spider Vessel . Stepping out of the lowest level, he then flew the Red Spider Vessel to Lin'an County Town and hovered in the air above . He escorted the 24 slave girls into town in search of the troops .
There were only 3,000 troops stationed in the Lin'an County Town .
When the general guarding the city heard about the arrival of the Ninth Prince, he immediately rushed to welcome him . He did not dare to keep him waiting at all .
"Ah, so the mysterious youth who dueled with Hua Minggong earlier was the Ninth Prince . My god! The Ninth Prince's cultivation has already reached such a high realm . "
The general had already visited the stronghold of the Poisonous Spider Club and saw the bodies of Hua Minggong and the Young Lord of the Poisonous Spiders . He had also discovered the identities of the two bodies through the captured evil warriors .
In the eyes of an ordinary soldier, Hua Minggong, who was a warrior of the Heaven Realm, was regarded as a legendary figure .
The general was stunned in shock when he heard that Hua Minggong and the Young Lord had died in Lin'an County Town . He was just about to send someone to report to the imperial court when the news of the Ninth Prince's arrival had reached him, and so he quickly went to welcome him .
Upon learning the purpose of the Ninth Prince's visit, the general immediately arranged 1000 soldiers to escort the 24 slave girls to Yunwu City, carrying along the Ninth Prince's personal letter .
After he done dealing with the slave girls, Zhang Ruochen headed toward the exit of the town .
Arriving at the city gate, Zhang Ruochen saw a small, familiar figure .
It was a little girl around three or four years old . She had disheveled hair with a thin and emaciated face, but these could not conceal her cleaver demeanor . It was definitely the girl he had met when he first entered Lin'an County Town .
She stood there in the snow . Her face and hands were all red . She blinked, staring at Zhang Ruochen in the distance .
The long coat Zhang Ruochen had given her earlier had disappeared . She was still wearing thin, shabby clothes . Even her feet were bare, with no shoes in sight .
Zhang Ruochen was somewhat curious so he walked over and asked, "How come you are here? Where was the coat I gave you earlier, and the Blood Pill?"
The little girl stared up at him with her clear, rounded eyes while her fingers tugged on the corner of her clothes . She replied in a low voice, "I . . . I gave them to someone else!"
"Why are you so silly? If you wear the clothes, you can withstand the cold . And if you take the Blood Pill, you won't feel hungry all winter . Why did you give them to someone else?" Zhang Ruochen asked .
The girl's expression remained firm and showed no trace of regret, "I gave them away, and they helped me bury my mother . "
Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood and had nothing more to say . He observed the little girl closely and said, "Where is your mother buried? Can you take me to see her?"
The little girl tilted her head to the side and thought for a while before nodding . She walked off in the snow, her bare feet turned red from the cold . It was as if she had no idea what cold was, or her body had long frozen to numb .
For each step she took, she would sink in the snow up to her knees and left a trail of small footprints .
