There were many people like Jiang Wen under Chen Heng, and there was nothing he could do.
Chen Heng relied on the power of the Black Dream Group, and at the same time, he would inevitably be affected. Therefore, when his status rose, a group of people wanted to stuff people under him to achieve their goals.
Chen Heng had already gotten used to this kind of situation, as it was unavoidable. He didn't refuse as it didn't affect him much, so it didn't matter.
However, looking at Jiang Wen's appearance, it seemed that she had already heard some news.
"Sir..."
Jiang Wen first looked around, then looked at Chen Heng in front of her. Only then did she carefully say, "I heard that this time, there seems to be a big fish within our jurisdiction." From the looks of it, she seemed quite mysterious.
Chen Heng did not comment on Jiang Wen's words, nor did he show any attitude, then he softly said, "Where did you hear the news from?"
"Who else could it be? It's my grandfather and the others." A bitter expression appeared on Jiang Wen's face. "My grandfather even specially sent people to tell me to be careful and not to cause trouble. Sir, do you think we'll encounter any danger this time?"
"It won't be that dangerous." Chen Heng glanced at her, then shook his head and said softly, "As long as you're careful enough, nothing will happen. Alright, keep up." He turned around and looked at the team. Then he left without saying anything else. Behind him, Jiang Wen looked at Chen Heng's back with a bitter look, but she still followed him obediently.
This time, Chen Heng's mission was to lockdown this area and searched for suspicious people. However, in reality, he didn't need to trouble himself with that task, as naturally, there would be people under him to solve it.
Chen Heng's real mission was to guard this place and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to wreak havoc. Of course, if he discovered the target, he would follow the authorities' instructions and try his best to control the target and capture him first.
From its looks, even though they were in contact, each party had their thoughts. Regardless of whether it was the Black Dream Group or the Qika Federation, they all wanted to take control of their target first.
If possible, they definitely wouldn't mind snatching food from the tiger's mouth. They wanted to take control of the Golden King's reincarnation before the Five Knight's subordinates did.
After all, the Golden King's reincarnation was undoubtedly extremely valuable. Be it his identity as the Golden King, the various secret skills that the Golden King had once mastered, or even other things. They were all rare treasures.
The Qika Federation and the Black Dream Group were undoubtedly very tempted by this. If they could obtain the treasures, they would undoubtedly be able to increase their foundations greatly.
Chen Heng believed that if it weren't because he was in a hurry and it was urgent, he definitely wouldn't be in such a situation right now. The instructions given to him by the officials had given him corresponding hints, telling him to stall time as much as possible so that he could wait for the officials' powerhouse to arrive.
Based on Chen Heng's understanding, if he waited a little longer and if the Five Knights' subordinates did not make much progress and did not capture Lu Yao in time, then the officials' powerhouse would arrive. By that time, the situation would be even more chaotic.
Chen Heng could not help but look in the distance. He could vaguely sense a familiar aura appearing in the distance through his senses, faintly coming from afar. That aura was naturally not someone else. It was Lu Yao.
'As expected, she just happened to come to this area?' Feeling the faint aura coming from Lu Yao in the distance, Chen Heng thought, then he silently looked towards the horizon. His gaze instantly pierced through the layers of isolation and instantly spotted the distance.
Faintly, a purple mist rose. The light purple Power of Destiny was burning as if it had already sensed danger and was beginning to erupt.
From Chen Heng's point of view, although the Power of Destiny was somewhat shaken, it was still stable and shouldn't be difficult to overcome this hurdle.
After all, no matter what, Lu Yao was still the chosen one of this world. Hence, even if she were in danger, she would always be able to turn the situation around.
Moreover, Chen Heng was there to hold the fort at the crucial moment. Therefore, Chen Heng was at ease with Lu Yao's situation. At this moment, the aura on Lu Yao's body was still. She seemed to be quite stable and didn't meet any danger.
Chen Heng stopped at the area he was in charge of, bringing Jiang Wen and the others to patrol the surroundings.
Time slowly passed, and soon, another two days had passed. There seemed to be some changes in the surroundings.
Under the officials' efforts, the number of people in the surroundings rapidly decreased. All the unrelated people left one by one, clearing out this area. There were fewer and fewer people here. Of course, the reason given by the officials was to hunt the terrorists down.
Early morning, everything began to recover. Sunlight illuminated the land and the surrounding around it.
As usual, Chen Heng walked into the street in front of him and looked around.
'Huh?' In the distance, an inexplicable fluctuation appeared. Vaguely, it seemed that someone was fighting. Walking on the road, Chen Heng felt the intense fluctuation coming from the distance, and his body paused as if he was a little surprised.
'Has it started?' Chen Heng looked at the land in the distance and could already sense the situation. In his field of vision, there were indeed people fighting in the distance. The strength of the two parties fighting should not be too strong, it should be in the second rank.
He just didn't know if it was Lu Yao, but it should be.
At this time, this place was completely locked down. Not many people would dare to stay here, let alone fight in this place. If it were the case, they were purely disrespecting their lives.
Moreover, the strength of the two parties fighting was also very similar to Lu Yao's strength at this moment. Based on Chen Heng's estimation, after Lu Yao absorbed the evolutionary stone that he had given her, coupled with this transformation, her strength should have reached a second rank by now, which was about the same.
Feeling the fluctuations of the fight from afar, Chen Heng did not move but only brought Jiang Wen to patrol around, looking as if everything was normal. Since it was merely a second rank, he believed that Lu Yao could handle it.
As the future Golden King, even if Lu Yao had just advanced, she was not someone an ordinary second rank could compare to, not to mention that she has Ye Zi by her side. With Ye Zi's strength, even if she had not fully recovered yet, it should not be a problem for her to deal with a second rank.
Sure enough, in just a short while, the aura flashed past and disappeared. Then, Lu Yao's aura once again disappeared. Even Chen Heng himself could not accurately sense it.
Even if he had planted a divine power seed in Lu Yao's body, Chen Heng could not do much to find Lu Yao but could only roughly sense Lu Yao's current state. It had to be said that Lu Yao was pretty good at hiding herself.
Within the next few days, everything went on as usual, just that there were fewer and fewer people around.
On the testing instrument, flashing fluctuations can be seen from time to time. However, when they rushed over based on the location shown on the instrument, they only found a few corpses. Among these corpses, most were at the second rank.
A third rank Beastmaster had encountered a target before, but his senses had been blinded in an instant, and he was directly injured. By the time he regained his senses and returned to normal, the target had already disappeared. From the beginning to the end, he didn't get to see the target's true appearance.
According to him, the target seemed to have mastered some kind of unique spiritual battle skills that could cause one to fall into a state of unconsciousness instantly, cutting off all contact with the outside world. This was some kind of unique trick.
A large number of people were making their moves. As time passed, the atmosphere of the lockdown was slowly shrinking, and it will soon be a complete lockdown. During this process, the target's attack was rapidly accelerating.
A few days later, in an empty alley, Lu Yao stopped, gasping for breath, looking a little disheveled. The neat clothes she had been wearing were completely dirty with stains of blood, and there was a strong smell of blood. Her body was also full of wounds.
It seemed that she had suffered a lot recently. Compared to before, she looked more determined. However, there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, and she seemed to be very tired.
Of course, this was not surprising. The constant hunt down for a little girl like her, the constant hunt down was too scary. She had not slept well these few days, nor had she truly spent an hour in peace. Whenever she stopped, the people around her would chase and try to hunt her down. Under this terrifying pressure, Lu Yao's mind was constantly tense and had already reached a certain limit.
Of course, under immense pressure, it also brought about tremendous growth. Compared to before, the current Lu Yao had grown a lot. After a few consecutive battles, she slowly matured and became sharper. Her will was also more determined. Unlike before, she no longer hesitated to attack, which was undoubtedly a good thing.
However, no matter how good it was, she had to pass this test first. Otherwise, it would all be for naught.
"Haven't caught up yet?" Walking over, she panted heavily, and her face looked tired.
"No." Besides her, Ye Zi looked a bit nervous. Ye Zi was no longer in the form of a puppy but a humanoid compared to before. Although the form of a puppy saved her energy, it was not powerful enough and was not suitable for the moment.
"No, I have to change my appearance again." Lu Yao stood there, gasping for breath as she said, "The previous appearance has already been discovered. I have to change it again now."
"I'm afraid that won't do." Hearing Lu Yao's words, Ye Zi revealed a bitter smile and said, "You've already used up the number of times you can change the gem. If you want to use it again, you'll have to wait for a week."
To avoid being hunted down and to avoid causing trouble, they had frequently changed their appearances over the past few days. At this moment, their appearances were no longer their original appearances. Currently, they looked like two young men and not a young woman. Of course, ordinary changes were only a cover and did not have much effect on the true powerhouse.
However, they were different at this moment. The disguise on their bodies was achieved by using a unique secret treasure - the changing gemstone. Hence, their concealment was higher, and even if they were at the fourth rank, it would be difficult to discover their disguise.
However, even so, they were still in an extremely dangerous situation. Behind them, the people who had previously discovered them could catch up at any time.
"We have to leave this place as soon as possible..." Ye Zi panted heavily before saying, "They have locked onto our aura. If we don't leave this area in a short period, it would be very easy for them to find us again."
"And my secret techniques..." Lu Yao panted heavily and was a little confused.
Before this, to avoid being hunted down by those people, she had used many secret techniques. Most of these secret techniques originated from the former Golden King, which was a secret technique that only the direct descendants of the Golden King were qualified to practice. Logically speaking, no one should know about it, let alone know how to crack it.
In the past, after she used secret techniques, no one would be able to discover anything, let alone find her. But now, the situation was different. Before this, the secret techniques that she used were directly broken and did not seem to have any effect at all. This situation could not help but make her feel puzzled.
And this time, when Lu Yao was undergoing her metamorphosis, the other party immediately came looking for them and discovered their location.
'Could it be…' Ye Zi frowned, and frightening thought that she could not believe flashed through her mind, so much so that she did not dare to think too deeply about it. But before she could continue thinking, a series of sounds came from behind her.
At the end of the alley, a series of soft footsteps could be heard, as if someone was walking over. Lu Yao and Le Zi's movements suddenly stopped. Not far away, the footsteps were so clear, and the target was also clear as if someone had already noticed them and was walking in their direction.
It seemed to be the case, and a sense of horror surged in Lu Yao's heart, and she slowly looked behind. At the end of the alley, there was no one there.
However, bloody footprints slowly appeared on the ground, along with the sounds of footsteps. It was as if someone was walking past this place and was heading towards them. A fatal sense of danger emerged.
Lu Yao slowly turned around and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Ye Zi. Then, without any prior agreement, they immediately ran away. Their speed was very fast, and they were exceptionally skilled as if they had run away many times.
They left the alley in front of them and ran towards another place in just an instant. After they left, the bloody footprints in the distance continued to spread, reaching the place where they were standing.
A pair of blood-red eyes slowly appeared, followed by a ferocious and terrifying face. A black robe figure appeared and stood where Lu Yao and Ye Zi were originally standing, emitting a strong bloody smell.
He looked at the figures of Lu Yao and Ye Zi, who had left in the distance and felt the vigorous vitality on their bodies. He could not help but reveal a smile that was enough to scare people to death.
"Found them…" A hoarse voice sounded in the area.
Then, the figure slowly disappeared as if it had never existed.
In the distance, under the faint sunlight, Chen Heng and Jiang Wen were patrolling this area, though there was nothing much to patrol, because during this period, to hunt Lu Yao down, those unrelated people had already left this area. This area had already been locked down, and most of the people inside were not ordinary people. Under the current circumstances, no one dared to come in and cause trouble if they still wanted to live.
However, even so, they still had to patrol. After all, this was a mission, though Chen Heng did not care much about this. For him, it was just for show.
At this moment, Chen Heng's body paused, and he looked surprised. He turned around and looked in a certain direction in the distance. "We're already here?"
During this period, Lu Yao and Ye Zi had concealed themselves very well that even Chen Heng was unable to locate them accurately. He could only barely sense that Lu Yao was still here through his perception of the divine power seed.
However, now, he suddenly sensed Lu Yao's aura, which was somewhat chaotic and appeared somewhat weak, revealing a sense of decay and exhaustion. That aura seemed to contain an ominous presence as if it was being targeted by something bad.
It gave Chen Heng a very bad feeling. Of course, what concerned Chen Heng the most was Lu Yao and Ye Zi's current location.. At this moment, their current location did not seem to be too far away from Chen Heng.
