The blurred image gradually became clear.
A beautiful woman in black and white Sword Dao attire appeared in the traced image.
When they saw her, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Gongyang Jin!
She indeed appeared in Mo Hai City, and not far in front of her, a shadow was fleeing quickly.
The subsequent images were the same as what had happened back then; they saw Gongyang Jin's incredulous expression, saw her hand gripping the sword slightly shaking, and her disturbed Sword Heart.
Tracing further, the image seemed to be interfered with and blurred again.
This made it impossible for them to see the true form of that shadow.
Even the dialogue between Gongyang Jin and the shadow started to become intermittent and missing a lot.
"Kill me, and cut all ties with your past..."
"Kill me!"
"Want to know why I've become like this..."
"Go to the City of Extreme Evil, there you will find the answers you seek..."
The tracing ended.
Lin Jingxuan withdrew the golden scroll, Han Zhan pressed against his throbbing temples, and opened his eyes with a weary expression.
"How is it, did you find anything?"
Han Zhan asked, but suddenly noticed the people around him looking at him strangely.
As if, he had been betrayed.
Han Zhan: "?"
"Ah Zhan, I might be about to tell you some bad news, you must prepare yourself mentally." Xia Youwei said, choosing her words carefully.
"Sister Jin might have encountered her ex..."
Ex? Ex what? Han Zhan looked bewildered.
"No, that's not it." Li Lingzhen interrupted Xia Youwei, interjecting.
"The person in the image just now absolutely cannot have a romantic relationship with Sister Jin. Don't forget what my primary job is."
Li Lingzhen firmly denied it and then continued, "She did show care for that shadow, otherwise that shadow wouldn't have spoken to her so confidently, but Sister Jin's tone contained more surprise."
"She seemed surprised that the other person appeared here, or perhaps, surprised at how the other person had changed, or joined some faction."
"From the details I observed and Sister Jin's tone, that shadow likely was someone who once had a good relationship with Sister Jin, and they very well might both be from the City of Extreme Evil."
Detective Li Lingzhen was online.
Her analysis was unanimously acknowledged by everyone.
Indeed, with Gongyang Jin's cold yet domineering queen-like character, it was impossible for her to love two people.
If it really were an ex, she would have just drawn her sword and finished it, without hesitating for so long.
The identity of the shadow is no longer discussed, but Gongyang Jin's possible destination, through the traced images, has become clear.
"Gongyang Jin most likely went to the City of Extreme Evil."
"The other person grasped her psychology. Although I can't understand why a Sword Cultivator with Sword Heart Clarity would be influenced to this extent, from her performance in the images, she definitely hesitated and was moved."
Lin Jingxuan extended his fingers and tapped on the table.
From their conversation, Han Zhan also managed to understand what happened in the traced images.
He immediately spoke, "I'll go to the City of Extreme Evil to find her. Lingzhen, Youwei, Siteng, you go with me."
Although the Void Origin could no longer be used, given the current strength and tacit cooperation among the four of them, going to the City of Extreme Evil to find Gongyang Jin and then returning to the North County shouldn't be difficult.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jingxuan spoke to stop him.
"You still lack some understanding of the City of Extreme Evil, do you think, it's a place you can go and leave as you wish?"
"Do you know the other name for the City of Extreme Evil?"
Lin Jingxuan got up, rummaged through his desk, and took out a slightly yellowed notebook.
He opened the notebook to a page and displayed the contents to Han Zhan and the others.
"City of Extreme Evil, also known as Gu City."
It's called Gu City because its mode of existence is like raising Gu insects.
The City of Extreme Evil has a rule: anyone who enters it cannot easily leave. All those in the City of Extreme Evil can only compete through the Slaughter Battlefield to emerge as the sole victor.
Only that sole victor can leave the City of Extreme Evil.
Even the major factions have never figured out how this rule originated, but it does restrict the entire City of Extreme Evil, making it a thorough one-way cage.
The Slaughter Battlefield is raising Gu.
The strongest emerged from the City of Extreme Evil is also hunted by the major factions to eradicate future threats.
And the information related to the City of Extreme Evil comes from these Poison Kings.
The birth of a Poison King follows a pattern, once every five years.
Gongyang Jin was the most recent Poison King to emerge from the City of Extreme Evil!
At that time, Wei Qing from the Great Xia was responsible for capturing her, and the events thereafter became clear.
When Gongyang Jin left the City of Extreme Evil, she was already at Tier Eight Peak strength, so even Wei Qing couldn't easily capture her. After many confrontations, Gongyang Jin always managed to escape unscathed.
Later, Gongyang Jin encountered Han Zhan on the Yixieqi Battlefield, signed a contract, up to the present day.
After reading Lin Jingxuan's notebook about the records and descriptions of the City of Extreme Evil, Han Zhan's brows furrowed again.
"Would Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits be considered two people?" He understood why Lin Jingxuan stopped him.
"That's obvious."
"According to the rules of the City of Extreme Evil, setting aside the brutality of the Slaughter Battlefield, I haven't entered and cannot know. But according to the rule itself, there can only be one survivor who becomes the 'Poison King' to leave the City of Extreme Evil."
"Rules are meant to be broken." Han Zhan instinctively retorted.
Lin Jingxuan glanced at him.
"Perhaps, but those breaking the rules should be strong. Do you think, with your current Tier Six Peak realm, you can already be considered strong?"
"Once you get trapped in the City of Extreme Evil, regardless of whether I can singlehandedly break the rules to rescue you, if the other factions learn of this, do you think they would stop me from rescuing you?"
This is a very realistic issue.
Moreover, Lin Jingxuan didn't mention one more thing, which is even if Gongyang Jin is truly in the City of Extreme Evil, and Han Zhan successfully finds her.
By that time, how would the two of them leave the City of Extreme Evil?
"I've told you all the information I know, as for what to do next, I hope you can seriously consider it."
After listening to Lin Jingxuan, Han Zhan fell silent.
After a long while, he still raised his head and resolutely said, "I've decided to go to the City of Extreme Evil alone."
"Gongyang Jin is my Contracted Spirit, also my partner, I cannot just let her fend for herself, and in the same situation, I would make the same choice for any of you."
"Because Contracted Spirits are not tools!"
