1521 Plans can’t keep up with changes

This town on the border of the desert was indeed in a mess. From time to time, traces of battle could be seen in some hidden streets and alleys, and sometimes abandoned corpses could be seen.

Even if Tang Zhen was fully armed, there were still people who dared to have designs on him. They tried to trick him into going to a place where no one was paying attention to them to lay their hands on him.

Of course, none of them had a good ending. After they turned into corpses, they were thrown into the garbage dump and ignored.

There were only three towns near the fallen star desert. Tang Zhen did not know how many cultivators were gathered here, but the sense of urgency in his heart grew day by day.

His opponent was not an ordinary person. With Lou Cheng’s ability, it would not take long for him to find out about the space-time Codex. Then, Tang Zhen would have more and more competitors.

In fact, it was just as Tang Zhen had expected. In just a few days, the entire town was in chaos. From time to time, there would be fierce battles, and most of the battles were participated by the cultivators in the city.

Snatching supplies, subduing subordinates, and asking for information, the cultivators of loucheng were unscrupulous and didn’t take the Lord seriously.

The men of Gul ‘gan moved out in unison, patrolling the streets like hungry wolves. If they felt something was amiss, they would not hesitate to open fire.

The residents of the town had not seen such a big scene for a long time. Except for those who were forced to go out to work, the rest of them all hid at home and would not go out to the streets so as not to never return.

Foreign mercenaries were the focus of the patrol team. As long as they were seen on the street, they would inevitably be interrogated.

Fortunately, these patrol members did not dare to go too far. After all, there were many wandering mercenaries here, and most of them were well-equipped and fierce.

Once these wandering mercenaries were truly angered, an intense battle would definitely occur, and the patrol team would be the first to be attacked.

Tang Zhen’s actions became more and more low-key. He didn’t want the other cultivators to notice his existence, but his efficiency in gathering information didn’t slow down in the slightest.

Unconsciously, he gradually made some progress with the lost spacetime Codex.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and the tense atmosphere in the town had slowly eased. Most of the cultivators in loucheng had chosen to leave, leaving behind a terrible mess for Gurgan.

However, the Lord didn’t seem to care about this at all. Even though the outside world was in a mess, he still locked himself in the laboratory and was immersed in his modification experiments.

Tang Zhen wore a black cloak and arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet the middle-aged man.

The tavern, which had been modified from a scrapped warship, seemed to be much more deserted because most of the wandering mercenaries had left. It was unknown how many of them were hired by the cultivators in the building.

A six-armed waiter served the wine. Tang Zhen poured himself a cup and drank by himself, quietly waiting for the arrival of the middle-aged man.

Time slowly passed, but the other party still did not appear. Tang Zhen could not help but shake his head.

“I don’t think he can come. It seems that I have to think of another way.”

Just as he thought up to this point, he saw a customer in a cloak walk over and sit on the chair opposite Tang Zhen.

A trace of a smile surfaced on Tang Zhen’s face when he saw the other party’s deliberately concealed face. He softly said,”Why are you alone? where are your companions?”

The cloaked person was the woman among the five. After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes as she said with a hoarse voice, they’ve all been captured by Gurgan and locked up in the lab.

Tang Zhen was stunned for a moment. His brows slightly furrowed as he said, how unfortunate, but I’m more concerned about the mission. I’m guessing you must have brought good news.

The woman sneered, but her laughter was filled with bitterness.

we did manage to find the exact location of the other three spacetime codices, but it seems that many people are interested in this information. Who do you think I should sell them to? ”

Tang Zhen nodded. He expressionlessly looked at the woman,”So you want to set the price, or change the payment method?”

The woman seemed to be slightly surprised because she did not see Tang Zhen’s dissatisfaction. Of course, this would not affect her plan. After hearing Tang Zhen’s inquiry, the woman said in a deep voice,”I can tell you the information, but you have to help me save my companions!”

The woman continued as she looked at Tang Zhen, who had a pensive expression,”Don’t try to force me for information. If I can’t save my companions, I won’t tell you even if I die!”

Tang Zhen shook his head and sighed, ” you might not know this. Sometimes, even if you don’t want to say it, I still have a way to get what I want. It’s just that the process is very painful. Even I don’t want to use it easily.

The woman laughed. She looked at Tang Zhen and her expression was a little distorted, searching the soul’s memory? it’s possible, but I guarantee that you’ll only get a pile of broken fragments!

“It seems like you’re well prepared. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Tang Zhen’s gaze seemed to be able to see through a person’s heart as he said to the woman,”If I’m not wrong, you must have sold your information to someone else before you came here, right?”

The woman bitterly laughed. At this moment, she had a feeling that she was unable to hide any secrets from Tang Zhen.

that’s right. Just the two of us are no match for Gurgan. In order to ensure the success of the rescue plan, I need more help!

As if she was afraid that Tang Zhen would reject the deal, the woman continued, to show my sincerity, I can provide you with an additional piece of information related to the lost space-time Codex!

Tang Zhen suddenly had a trace of interest. He said to the woman,”That’s good news, but if you’re lying to me to save your companions, I guarantee you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”

The woman had no fear on her face as she looked straight at Tang Zhen and said, I’m not lying to you, and I can tell you with certainty that the missing spacetime Codex is in the hands of Gurgan. This is also the main reason why he ignored the outside world and focused on the modification experiments.

He’s using the secret technique on the spacetime Codex to transform himself into a legendary God!”

The woman revealed her biggest secret. At the same time, she wanted to see Tang Zhen’s surprised expression. Who would have thought that this scene would not appear at all? on the contrary, he revealed an expression of “I knew it.”

no wonder Gurgan’s behavior is so strange. If the dimensional Codex is in his hands, everything makes sense.

Tang Zhen nodded and said to the woman,”Alright, I agree to make a deal with you. Tell me your specific plan!”

The woman’s face was filled with excitement, and she said in an urgent tone, ” “Come with me now and meet up with the other helpers. Then we’ll immediately start the operation!”

“You’re in such a hurry. Could it be that you’re hiding something from me?”

The woman did not hide anything in the face of Tang Zhen’s question. Instead, she used a low and deep tone to say, do you know where the prisoners caught by the guargan clan ended up? ”

“They’ve all been taken for modification experiments, right?”

The woman’s face was bitter. This was the reason why she was in a hurry to save her companions. If she delayed any longer, she would probably only see a pile of incomplete corpses in the end.

“In that case, what are we waiting for? to be honest, I also want to see who our business partner is.”

The two of them left the tavern and walked along a remote street. Finally, they came to a place near a building made of large iron boxes and stones.

After entering a house full of dust, Tang Zhen saw more than a dozen men and women. Without exception, they were all cultivators of Lou Cheng.

“Sir Tang Zhen, we meet again!”

A woman’s voice rang out and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They looked at Tang Zhen in unison, and many of their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility.

Tang Zhen helplessly shook his head. This woman was really like a ghost that would not leave. Why was it that he would bump into her wherever he went?

Luo Fei, who was wearing a white protective suit, had a smile on her face. When she saw Tang Zhen’s depressed expression, she could not help but feel the pleasure of revenge in her heart.
