Looking for someone

"What are you doing?"

The Maid gave a startled cry, quickly rushed in front of the man, and snatched the little yellow dog from his hands.

The little yellow dog was trembling all over at this moment, emitting whimpering sounds from its mouth.

Seeing the little dog in such a state, the Maid was left speechless.

"You're such a grown man, why are you still holding a grudge against a dog!"

Zhou Ziming felt quite helpless.

"It's not that I'm holding a grudge against it; it's that this dog has issues. It trembles in fear when it sees others, but it bares its fangs at me!"

"I think it's saying it deserves a beating, so I'm just obliging it!"

The Maid: "..."

After hearing Zhou Ziming's explanation, she was also quite speechless, because she also felt that the little yellow dog was asking for a beating.

"You really are a typical bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. You've kicked an iron plate this time, haven't you!"

Having said that, a soft light emanated from the Maid's hands.

The light helped heal the little yellow dog's swollen face.

Then, the Maid put the little dog down.

The dog ran away, yelping.

The Maid cast a glance at the disguised Zhou Ziming and the servant's uniform he was wearing.

She couldn't help but frown.

"New here?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

The Maid sighed.

"What a pity. What were you thinking, coming to Sea Tide to be a servant?"

Zhou Ziming: "???"

Good grief.

The way this girl's mind worked left Zhou Ziming somewhat stunned.

The Maid spoke again.

"That little yellow dog has a trace of Taowu Bloodline. It's actually very close to bad people, but it absolutely hates people who are upright and righteous!"

"But this little beast holds the same status as the young lady of Taihe Tower; both are treasures of the Young Master of Haichao. You must not offend it in the future!"

Suddenly, the Maid slapped her forehead.

"Oh no, I suspect that little beast has gone to tattle!"

"You must leave quickly, leave Sea Tide immediately!"

Zhou Ziming stared straight at the Maid.

If he remembered correctly, this girl seemed to be the personal Maid of the young lady of Taihe Tower.

Is it really okay for you to talk about your master like that?

However, the Maid didn't care.

In her view, it didn't matter whether Zhou Ziming tattled or not.

She had already foreseen the future of Sea Tide, and she had also seen the future of Taihe Tower.

Neither could escape the ending of being annihilated.

Since she was planning to run away anyway, why would she be afraid of offending people who were already written in the Book of Life and Death?

"Alright, little brother, take some advice from your sister: leave this place quickly. If nothing unexpected happens, this place should be gone soon!"

"Furthermore, you've offended that little beast. If you continue to stay in Sea Tide, I'm afraid you'll wish you were dead!"

"Sister is leaving now!"

Having said that, the Maid snuck away.

Zhou Ziming didn't move.

At this moment, watching the Maid, he found her quite interesting.

"Hum, hum~"

At this moment, the thousand illusions silk began to vibrate.

Zhou Ziming: "???"

He quickly held down the thousand illusions silk.

"I don't think this girl is a bad person. Your murderous intent is a bit too heavy!"

The thousand illusions silk calmed down.

But Zhou Ziming always felt that this thousand illusions silk gave off a chilling sensation!

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

He paid no heed to anything else.

He needed to find one person right now: Shangguan Xiaorong.

To implement Shangguan Yun's plan, Shangguan Xiaorong was the key to the entire scheme.

But unfortunately, he searched for a long time and still could not find any sign of Shangguan Xiaorong.

Of course, Zhou Ziming also didn't wait for any retaliation from the Young Master of Haichao.

"That little yellow dog didn't tattle?"

It didn't matter, though.

If the Young Master of Haichao didn't come to cause him trouble, he was happy to be at leisure.

However, after Zhou Ziming searched for another whole night and still could not find Shangguan Xiaorong, he couldn't help but ask.

"The intelligence from Blood Rain Tower indicates that Shangguan Xiaorong is indeed in Sea Tide, right!"

Shangguan Yun's voice came through the blood butterfly.

"That's correct. The intelligence states that Shangguan Xiaorong is the only person brought into Sea Tide, and she has never left since."

Zhou Ziming felt helpless.

"But where is she? I really haven't found her!"

Shangguan Yun was silent for a long time.

"Let's meet at a certain place!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

————

The next night~

Not long after, Zhou Ziming and Shangguan Yun met.

Shangguan Yun gave Zhou Ziming a lamp.

"This is Shangguan Xiaorong's soul lamp. Although it's possible she is no longer herself, the soul lamp has always existed. If you hold this soul lamp and get close to Shangguan Xiaorong, the flame of the soul lamp will inevitably light up!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

But then, Zhou Ziming still felt it was a bit troublesome.

"Actually, we could completely just kill the Young Master of Haichao directly, and as for the others, we can kill them slowly!"

Shangguan Yun shook her head.

"No, no, no. We can completely wipe out Sea Tide without any effort, and without exposing our identities, so why bother doing it ourselves?"

"But don't worry, brother. Let me test if my brain can outplay that bunch of old geezers. If my plan doesn't work, then we'll do as you say!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"Alright!"

Subsequently, the two parted ways again.

Shangguan Yun needed to investigate potential hidden dangers that could lead to failure, as well as prepare contingency plans.

Meanwhile, Li Tang went to investigate matters concerning Taihe Tower.

Zhou Ziming continued to carry the soul lamp, searching for Shangguan Xiaorong.

Honestly speaking, this thing Shangguan Yun gave him was indeed quite good.

Based on the brightness of the soul lamp, Zhou Ziming gradually drew closer to Shangguan Xiaorong.

Not long after, Zhou Ziming stopped in a small courtyard because, at this moment, Shangguan Xiaorong's soul lamp was glowing excessively bright.

In other words, Shangguan Xiaorong was right here.

However, Zhou Ziming had been keeping his Eye of Truth open.

He scanned everything around him, but there was absolutely no sign of Shangguan Xiaorong.

"What is going on!"

This time, Zhou Ziming increased the intensity of his Divine Sense and scanned the ground directly.

With this, Zhou Ziming really did see something different, because the ground seemed to have a natural concealment Formation.

"They don't hide other places, only hiding this one spot—I don't know whether to call this person smart or stupid!"

Since he had discovered something unusual, Zhou Ziming did not hesitate any longer.

And after Zhou Ziming had completely entered, he couldn't help but be shocked, because this place was a dungeon.

Not only that, but the things imprisoned in this dungeon were also unusual, because the people imprisoned inside this dungeon were all half-human, half-demon.

Seeing that someone else had come, those things all crawled to the prison door to look.

Zhou Ziming covered his nose with one hand, while the other hand held the floating soul lamp for illumination.

"Save me!"

"Let me out!"

"I want to leave here; I don't want to stay here anymore. This place is simply Hell!"

The group of people were in pain and wailing.

Zhou Ziming ignored these people.

However, the blood butterfly on his shoulder had glowing eyes.

It was recording everything it saw.

Zhou Ziming continued to walk forward in this dim dungeon.

However, he didn't find Shangguan Xiaorong immediately; instead, he saw an acquaintance.

The little Maid from last night.

At this moment, the girl was curled up in the corner.

Zhou Ziming knocked on the prison cell.

"Hey, didn't you run away? How did you end up in here?"
