I'll help the Demon King settle the world

Yuan Zhen picked up the sword lent by his master, said goodbye to Dals, opened the passage to the outside world, and strode out.

She slowly walked out of the "Penglai Wonderland" where she had grown up, and entered the windy and treacherous world.

The early morning in the desert, without sunlight, was freezing cold.

Yuan Zhen pulled up his clothes and walked in the freezing desert. Without the demonic energy provided by the child in her belly, she would be just an ordinary human woman.

The high-level magic of teleportation and leaping thousands of miles has nothing to do with her now.

She now had to rely on her own feet to walk step by step to the central city of Frona.

Now counting the days, there are not many days left before Xida's execution.

She must speed up her journey and reach her destination before the fifteenth day!

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen accelerated his steps and disappeared into the wind and sand.

After ten days of traveling day and night, Yuan Zhen finally arrived at the town of Spenla on the border of Frona.

This city is where she was crowned as the female sword master.

Returning to my hometown feels like a world away.

Yuan Zhen was wrapped in a revealing cloak and walked on the street.

Her wanted portraits were plastered all along the road, making her a little afraid to show her true face.

Although she carries a "spiritual stone", the demons cannot detect her worldly aura, but the portraits all over the world make her the focus of everyone's attention. She could only wrap herself up tightly so that passers-by could not know that she was the target of a huge reward.

Calculate the time and look at the distance to Central City. She didn't have time to be filled with emotion here, otherwise she would really be late to save Shida.

So Yuan Zhen accelerated the process, hurriedly left the town of Spenla and headed for Central City.

Yuan Zhen rushed to Central City without stopping the day before Xida's execution.

As soon as she entered the city, she felt a heavy sense of depression.

There are guards patrolling the streets everywhere, and they are so tightly guarded that you can't help but feel like you have stepped into a dragon's den.

Suddenly, she saw a burning platform being built in the middle of the city, and those who were directing the guards to set up the platform were the two brothers she was most familiar with—Roxi and Luo Ling.

Why did they set up a burning platform in such a busy place in the city?

Are they going to burn Sheeda at the stake?

Yuan Zhen shuddered. He didn't expect that his former relatives would actually ignore the family love they had for so many years for the sake of high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Her heart suddenly cast a shadow.

If they were about to burn Sidda at the stake, then they must know where Sidda was being held!

As long as you sneak into the guards under their command, you will definitely find the place where Xida is being held.

Therefore, Yuan Zhen secretly observed in the corner of the city, waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, towards evening, I got my chance.

A sneaky guard walked out of the platform and entered the alley while urinating to escape.

The guard who sneaked out complained as he walked:

"I'm exhausted. The person who will be burned to death in two days is not a big shot. Is it necessary to do so much work!? It's really..." Before I could complain, a sharp sword blade shone with a cold light. , put it on his neck.

He was so frightened that he cried out for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. I have an eighty-year-old mother to take care of, and several years old children to raise. If you want money, I can give you all the money I have." But please let this little bitch live."

Yuan Zhen behind him looked at such a coward, smiled, and threatened in a deep voice: "This hero is not interested in your money. As long as you answer my questions, I will let you go."

"Then hero, please tell me. I will tell him everything I know."

"Who are you planning to burn to death by setting up this burning platform?"

When the guard heard this, he felt that the person behind him who was threatening him and the rebel who was about to be burned at the stake must be the same group.

If he catches the man behind him, he will be able to achieve great success.

So without saying a word, the guard started to turn around to fight back, but was stopped by Yuan Zhen's move with quick eyesight and quick hands, and fell to the ground unconscious.

"It seems that I can't get anything out of him, so I have to sneak in and investigate on my own." After Yuan Zhen muttered, he took off his armor and put it on himself.

Then he tied him up and threw him in the corner of the alley, using the mask on his helmet to cover his true appearance.

With heavy steps, Yuan Zhen walked towards the direction of building the burning platform.

Yuan Zhen disguised himself as a guard wearing armor and silently blended into the crowd building the burning platform.

Luo Xi and Luo Ling were no longer here. Yuan Zhen, who had sneaked in, was glad that he had escaped.

But they will definitely be here tomorrow morning to continue supervising the work.

Tonight, she had to find a way to find out which cell Sidda was locked in, otherwise she might not be able to delay her infiltration for long...

It will be difficult then!

Yuan Zhen worked with the guards until late at night, and then they were called back by the captain of the guard.

Yuan Zhen followed the team and walked into the guard camp on a night full of stars.

After entering the camp, the guards rushed into their respective barracks to prepare for rest.

Yuan Zhen, on the other hand, found the right opportunity and sneaked outside the barracks, looking for an opportunity.

Yuan Zhen hid behind the barracks and looked around. Shockingly, I discovered that some guards in the guard camp who couldn't stand their loneliness were drinking secretly in a dark corner outside the barracks.

So he came up with a plan.

After looking for a good target, Yuan Zhen pretended, walked behind a guard who was hiding in a corner and secretly drinking, patted him, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what are you doing?"

The guard who was drinking secretly was startled, quickly put the bottle away, and said guiltily: "No, it's nothing."

"Don't lie to me. You smell of alcohol. You must have been drinking secretly."

"Shh, don't tell others." The man winked and made a silent gesture with his fingers.

"I don't need to tell others, but you have to answer a few questions from me."

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't tell anyone else, I will answer you a hundred questions."

"Really?" Yuan Zhen smiled and sat next to him.

"It must be true, but brother, don't you feel tired if you wear armor and a helmet at night?" The guard looked at Yuan Zhen from head to head in confusion. He had never seen such a strange person.

"Oh, I've been injured on my face and body. It's too ugly, so I don't want to show my true face in front of others easily." Yuan Zhen made up a random excuse to avoid making the other party suspicious.

"Oh -" After the man found out, he picked up the hidden wine and continued to drink. "Would you like a bite?"

"No need." Yuan Zhen rejected his kindness. Seeing that he was almost drunk, he asked: "Are we setting up a burning platform in the city to burn some death row criminals? To kill him as a warning to others in such a lively place in the city? Does this mean that this person must have a very high status?"

The man burped and said in a daze: "What a high status! He is just a small rebel leader. If it weren't for... if it wasn't for the purpose of attracting some demon queen to show up, such a small person... would have been killed long ago. Executed secretly..."

"Oh - really?" Seeing some eyebrows, Yuan Zhen continued to remain calm and said in a formal way: "Then where is this person being held?"

The drunken guard pointed to a heavily guarded place in a daze, "That's it...that..." As soon as he finished speaking, the drunken guard fell to the ground drunkenly.

"Hey, wake up, wake up..." Yuan Zhen called softly several times and found that the person lying on the ground was already drunk and unconscious.

So, Yuan Zhen took a breath, looked in the direction he just pointed, and observed:

"It turns out he was imprisoned there..."

After learning the location, Yuan Zhen immediately ran towards the direction where Xida was being held.

After Yuan Zhen left, the drunk man who fell down suddenly opened his eyes, chuckled, and quickly turned to his feet.

After wiping the smell of alcohol from his mouth with his elbow, he reported to Rand, who had been standing in the shadows and watched this scene from beginning to end:

"General, everything is going according to plan."

Rand waved his hand, and the participant in the report disappeared immediately.

Rand half-squinted his eyes, looked at Yuan Zhen's figure running toward the trap, and said:

"This trap was already set when the wanted order was issued, just waiting for this noble prey to be caught..."
