"I must bring that woman called Ding Ling," Zhou Heng said to Andrea. The meaning behind his words was very simple. Even if he had to resort to force, he had to bring Ding Ling away.
A pitiful expression appeared on Andrea's face as he said: "I originally wanted to become friends with you, Mr. Zhou, but if you insist on making things difficult for us, then I won't embarrass the Black Tower any longer."
Just what was the black pagoda? Regarding this term that Andrea mentioned, Zhou Heng was a little curious. But he was not stupid enough to ask Andrea that.
"As a Magus of the Black Tower," Zhou Heng could only guess that the Black Tower was an organization called "Mage", "I am very respectful towards you, if possible, I am not willing to be your enemy." This sentence was full of flaws. After all, he had just knocked down a Magus from the Black Tower not too long ago.
But Andrea's expression had clearly eased up a bit, and the temperature around him had also lowered.
From the opponent's ability to control temperature, Zhou Heng could vaguely sense the opponent's strength. However, if a Magus at Andrea's level was at the peak of the black tower, then there was nothing to be afraid of about this black tower. Zhou Heng was only worried that there would be more powerful Magi here, so he decided to take action recklessly.
The truth was that Zhou Heng's considerations were correct. Andrea was the disciple of the Magus King's "King of Greed and Sickle", and his teacher, "King of Greed and Sickle" was also present. Although he was gravely ill, as long as he could draw in the blood of a virgin, Magus King could still display his strong fighting strength in a short period of time.
Andrea started to waver. Sending a woman or two didn't really make a difference to him, after all, these mortal women were no different from animals to him. Once they found the dragon cave, the Magi would immediately set out to get the dragon blood for the Magus King, and then all the women would be useless. It would be better to rope Zhou Heng in right now. When they went to get the dragon blood in the future, they might even have another helper.
Zhou Heng noticed the slight change in expression on Andrea's face, and knew that this was a good thing, but Xu Lingshan who was behind him was unhappy.
"I suggest that you better release them," Xu Lingshan said loudly.
Andrea looked at Xu Lingshan as if he was looking at a fool.
"If you let her go now," Xu Lingshan continued, "I will try my best to help you –" She had not finished speaking when she suddenly could not utter another word.
Andrea flicked his finger in the air and lost control of his throat.
"Sound mastery." A simple but very practical spell.
Zhou Heng looked at Andrea's actions, and he was actually a little envious. Although the techniques he had obtained from the Heavenly Master System were very practical, they were too few in number.
"Then please wait for a while, Mr. Zhou. I will go and get the person you wanted." Andrea said. The temperature around him had returned to its normal level. It seems that he still decided not to make Zhou Heng his enemy.
"Sorry for the trouble," Zhou Heng smiled and replied, "Don't bring the wrong person this time around."
Hearing Zhou Heng's words, both sides laughed and looked extremely intimate.
Andrea left the office again, and closed the door when he left.
He left, and the Silencing Spell on Xu Lingshan's throat lost its effect.
"Cough, cough!" Xu Lingshan held onto her own throat and started coughing continuously. The feeling of losing her throat was simply too unbearable, it was as if all the muscles in her throat had died. Now that these muscles had come to life, they gave off a strong feeling of strangeness, causing Xu Lingshan to cough and retch uncontrollably.
After a long while, Xu Lingshan finally recovered. She looked at Zhou Heng, and asked: "Who exactly are you?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhou Heng's expression was somewhat doubtful, "Heavenly master, I'm the one who caught ghosts."
"Heavenly teacher?" Xu Lingshan's expression was extremely doubtful. She really did not understand whether Zhou Heng was serious or was playing dumb.
Zhou Heng nodded.
"Then is that Andrea just now also a Heavenly Master like you?" Xu Lingshan asked. Zhou Heng looked too different from Xu Lingshan's impression of a Heavenly Master who was pretending to be mysterious. He did not take out a wooden sword or a copper bell, nor did he wear a tattered robe. On the other hand, Andrea felt that the situation was even more bizarre, and used some unknown method. With a light wave of his hand, he could no longer speak.
"He seems to be a Magus." Zhou Heng said. He was not sure if what Andrea had told him was true, although he had seen the Feng Shui Master and the monks before, this was the first time he had seen a Magus.
Honestly speaking, Zhou Heng did not have any clue on how to deal with a strong Magus. After all, it was impossible for every Magus to be like Wei Lian, who could defeat them all with just his fist.
Xu Lingshan had originally wanted to beg Zhou Heng to think of a way to save the other women who were trapped inside, but it was simply too difficult for her.
The two of them stayed silent for a while, before Andrea brought Ding Ling over.
Ding Ling who was being carried by the guard was practically naked, the jacket that Xu Lingshan had draped over her was taken away by another woman the moment she was taken away. Other than the whip marks that the guards had left on Ding Ling's body, there were also the scratches and kick marks left by the ladies. These wounds were even more severe than the ones left by the guards.
In the room, due to the dim light, Xu Lingshan did not discover such heavy injuries on Ding Ling's body.
Zhou Heng had also noticed that Ding Ling's eyes were tightly shut.
Xu Lingshan immediately rushed over and snatched Ding Ling away from the guard's grasp. She then placed her hand on Ding Ling's forehead.
"She has a high fever," Xu Lingshan said to Zhou Heng. "We need to find a hospital immediately."
Zhou Heng nodded at her, then said to Andrea: "Thank you, Mr. Andrea, we will be leaving first."
Andrea laughed: "Feel free to go."
At this time, the guard whispered something into Andrea's ears.
Andrea shook his head, indicating that there was no harm.
Zhou Heng walked in front, holding Ding Ling as they followed behind, the two of them walked out of the factory. At the same time he left, Xu Lingshan did not forget to memorise the characteristics and route of this place.
Just as he was about to leave the factory, Xu Lingshan's hands suddenly started to tremble.
"What's going on?" Xu Lingshan stopped in her tracks, unable to stabilize her hand. At the same time, a wave of disgust started to surface in her heart, as if she was being urged to stop and return.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhou Heng turned his head, mistakenly thinking that Xu Lingshan did not have any energy, "How about Ding Ling let me carry you." "No," he said.
Xu Lingshan shook her head before her body suddenly softened and collapsed onto the ground.
