“Jin Ling! Where is Zhao Ziyu?!”
When Jin Ling did not respond immediately, Ye Huan's voice grew louder. Fortunately, Jin Ling was not unaware of the relationship between Zhao Ziyu and Ye Huan. Upon hearing her name called out, Jin Ling finally snapped out of her daze and spoke to Ye Huan, “Zhao Ziyu is currently with Song Zhong. I've been waiting here for you, but I have no idea where Song Zhong has taken her. Also, the other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors are mostly with Song Zhong, so you mustn't act recklessly.”
“Song Zhong…”
Hearing Jin Ling's words, Ye Huan gritted his teeth as he uttered Song Zhong's name. He regretted not having dealt with that scoundrel earlier. Now, Zhao Ziyu had been taken away by Song Zhong to who knows where, and Jin Ling had no clue about his current location. With the numerous hills and mounds surrounding Yuxu Palace, how could Ye Huan possibly find any trace of Zhao Ziyu?
After pondering deeply, Ye Huan felt a surge of impatience due to Zhao Ziyu's capture. However, he managed to remain calm. After a brief moment of thought, he came up with a plan to locate Song Zhong and the others. But before that, there was one thing he needed to clarify with Jin Ling.
“Jin Ling, do you know how many people are with Song Zhong?”
“How many? If I remember correctly, counting Zhao Ziyu and the other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors, there are exactly nine of them.”
Jin Ling listened carefully to Ye Huan's question and looked at him with some confusion. She found it puzzling that he would ask about their numbers at such a critical moment. She even thought that Ye Huan might be afraid of the large number of Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors and hesitant to rescue Zhao Ziyu.
Shaking her head to dismiss that thought, Jin Ling recalled her previous encounters with Ye Huan and felt he was not the kind of person she initially imagined. In fact, it was true; Ye Huan was determined to rescue Jin Ling. However, if he recklessly confronted the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors head-on, it would be uncertain who would end up worse off. Moreover, the most important thing for Ye Huan right now was to find Gu Long and the others before making any plans; otherwise, even if he had the will to act, he would be powerless without knowing their whereabouts.
Nodding at Jin Ling, Ye Huan took out the 2012 Arms Compendium in front of her after learning there were nine people involved. He quickly summoned the Infrared Thermal Sensor and began searching for any clusters of nine red dots.
Under normal circumstances, if there were nine red dots clustered together on the Infrared Thermal Sensor, it would confirm that Jin Ling's earlier statement was true. If there were not nine red dots together, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Jin Ling was lying; it could also mean that Song Zhong and the other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors had dispersed. The problem was that the Infrared Thermal Sensor was a product of the 2012 Arms Compendium and was a type of modified Arms; its sensing range and the appearance of red dots could give Ye Huan quite a headache.
Knowing that Jin Ling had no reason to deceive him, Ye Huan focused on the dense array of small red dots on the Infrared Thermal Sensor. After about two minutes of searching diligently, his efforts paid off as he finally found exactly nine red dots clustered together on the thermal sensor.
“Ye Huan, what is that thing you have?”
Standing aside, Jin Ling watched as Ye Huan conjured an Infrared Thermal Sensor out of thin air. Curiosity filled her beautiful eyes as she examined the device, as if she had discovered a new world. She even approached Ye Huan to ask about it.
"What is this?"
After locating the red dots formed by the nine people gathered together on the Infrared Thermal Sensor, Ye Huan felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She smiled lightly at Jin Ling before slowly responding, "I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that."
"Hmph, you really think your junk is something precious."
Unable to learn what the Infrared Thermal Sensor was from Ye Huan, Jin Ling shot her a resentful glance. Little did she know that this Infrared Thermal Sensor was indeed a treasure for Ye Huan—a tool to locate people.
Not wanting to engage in further chatter with Jin Ling, Ye Huan focused on finding Song Zhong and his group through the Infrared Thermal Sensor. Her mind was preoccupied with how to rescue Zhao Ziyu from the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors led by Song Zhong. After all, if they continued to delay, there was no telling what might happen to Zhao Ziyu.
'Am I really going to have Jin Ling lure out each of the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors one by one?'
After much contemplation, Ye Huan still couldn't come up with a solid plan. However, if she truly sent Jin Ling to seduce the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors, once Song Zhong captured Zhao Ziyu, it was likely that the Protectors would see through Jin Ling's ruse. If they suspected her intentions, it would jeopardize everything Ye Huan had planned. Moreover, given the nature of the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors, if they discovered the scheme between Ye Huan and Jin Ling, even Jin Ling herself would be in grave danger.
"Ye Huan, what are you thinking? If we keep delaying like this, Zhao Ziyu might really be in danger."
Noticing that Ye Huan had fallen silent for a while, Jin Ling could only stare anxiously. After all, with her own strength, rescuing Zhao Ziyu was uncertain; she might end up captured by other Guardians of the Heavenly Dragon Sect herself.
"Stop urging me! It's you who won't let me act recklessly and now you're pushing me to rescue Zhao Ziyu! Can't you see I'm trying to come up with a plan?"
Hearing Jin Ling's words made Ye Huan feel frustrated. She plopped down on the ground and continued mumbling under her breath, clearly at a loss for how to save Zhao Ziyu.
Seeing Ye Huan in such a state reassured Jin Ling that she would not abandon Zhao Ziyu. For some reason, she felt relieved and quietly stood beside Ye Huan. Occasionally, she scanned their surroundings as if keeping watch for any troublemakers who might come along.
"I've got it!"
After about three or four minutes had passed without anyone disturbing him, Ye Huan turned his gaze toward the Apache Attack Helicopter he had piloted from Yuxu Palace to this place...
