I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385: Chapter 536: Hero Saving the Beauty? A Secret Path to the City Outskirts!

Two silhouettes darted swiftly through the alleys of the street.

An array covered Tiandu City, prohibiting high-altitude flight, but this had no effect on Chen Mo. He possessed the Divine Skill of [Shrinking Ground into Inches], which allowed him to compress the distance between Earth Veins, achieving far greater speeds than Sky Control.

Under the cover of Purple Extreme Cave Heaven, the pedestrians on the street only felt a gentle breeze on their faces, perceiving nothing at all.

The hourglass in Chen Mo’s hand flickered uncertainly, like a candle, faintly revealing a swirl of smoke intermingled in black and white floating in the air.

This was the Yin Yang Qi within Yu Hongyin’s body. Wherever it passed, it left traces only visible under the exposure of the Erosion Light Hourglass.

"Mr. Chen, have you found the location of the Holy Daughter?" Qiao Tong asked in concern.

"Judging from the remaining aura, she seems to have headed towards West City. Let’s hurry up and accelerate," Chen Mo replied.

"Okay." Qiao Tong clung tightly to his arm, only to see the surrounding scenery shift drastically, with everything stretched into colorful threads, mesmerizing the eyes.

In just a few breaths, the two had crossed more than half of the Capital City, arriving at West Outer City.

Although part of the same Capital City, the environment here was noticeably more severe compared to the bustling inner city.

The streets were surrounded by low huts, densely packed mixed courtyards, inhabited by laborers, hired workers, and refugees. It was a chaotic gathering of various professions, filled with smoke and confusion.

Chen Mo pursued his way to the neighborhood near the outskirts, walking along alleyways where the houses became increasingly cramped.

The thatched roofs above seemed to merge into one, with only a sliver of daylight visible. Within the courtyard walls, the cries of children, scolding of women, and clattering of pots and pans blended into a cacophony, bursting the eardrums.

Here, there was neither privacy nor boundaries. When a wall leaned, it rested on the neighbor’s, when a shed collapsed, broken wood was picked up to build another layer. They were like a cluster of ants squeezed into the corner of the city, densely huddled under the shadow of the Capital City.

"No wonder she’d choose West City; this kind of place holds countless shadows without leaving any traces. The government officer from Six Gates probably wouldn’t come here to investigate." Chen Mo thought to himself.

The two reached the end of the alley, facing a fork in the road.

But the Yin Yang Qi was broken here, as if Yu Hongyin had vanished into thin air.

"Where is she?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly and scattered his Divine Sense, covering the entire neighborhood.

Sensing something, he turned to look at the earthen yard nearby and saw that the door was ajar, so he walked in directly.

The yard was filled with various sundries, laughter came from inside the house, and faintly, a woman’s sorrowful pleas could be heard.

"Didn’t expect in this wretched place, a beautiful lass would deliver herself here."

"Meeting is fate. Little woman, you and my two brothers share quite the fate, today we’ll have a merry time together, hahaha..."

Knock Knock Knock——

Chen Mo stepped up and knocked on the door.

The sound inside the room suddenly quieted. Moments later, a male voice called out, "Who is it?"

Chen Mo calmly said, "Checking the water meter."
