Chapter 1940: Saint Sochiya
Chapter 1940: Saint Sochiya
The murderous intent on Xiao Zheng’s face did not dissipate even after the phone call ended.
He stood at the entrance of the Netherworld King Temple, his furious aura seemed as if it could collapse the entire palace.
Although Hades didn’t hear the content of the conversation between Xiao Zheng and Eric, he knew that Xiao Zheng was definitely in big trouble. The woman named Zimo must be very important to him, right?
Hades’ mind was a whirl of thoughts...
At this moment, Xiao Zheng made a phone call to Long Qie.
Once the call was connected, Long Qie anxiously said, "Mr. Xiao, I was just about to call you. Something big has happened, Miss Su was kidnapped at school today!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zheng appeared very calm, "I know, the person who kidnapped her just called me."
"The kidnapper has called you already? Did he reveal his identity? Is he from the Bright Church?" Long Qie asked repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng said, "He is indeed from the Bright Church, and he is the seventh Saint Heir in their ranks. He has arranged to meet with me tomorrow at a place called Saint Sochiya."
"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry." Long Qie said with deep regret in his tone, "It’s all my fault for not thinking things through, leading to Miss Su’s incident."
Feeling his self-reproach, Xiao Zheng said, "It’s okay, this matter has nothing to do with you. Actually, not only you, but even I didn’t anticipate that people from the Bright Church would find Zimo."
"I called you this time just to inform you all that I won’t be coming back today."
"Tell the family to be prepared."
"If something happens to Zimo, our Sky Net will directly declare war on the Bright Church!"
Sensing his sharp murderous intent, Long Qie was awestruck. He then solemnly said, "Understood, I will immediately notify everyone to be prepared!"
"You all just need to be ready to set off at any time, no need to rush here," Xiao Zheng said, "After all, we don’t know if Zimo is dead or alive and if you rush over now, it might alert them and reveal our intentions."
"Just like this, if there’s any situation, I’ll inform you immediately."
After finishing, he hung up the phone.
Once the call was over, Long Qie immediately gathered the Evil Eyes and others in his office...
On the other side.
Hades had already descended from the Divine Throne, slowly coming to Xiao Zheng’s side, "Do you need my help?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed lightly, "Not for now, if there really is a place where I need your help, I definitely won’t hesitate to ask you."
"The Bright Church is not easy to deal with. You must be careful when you go over this time," Hades said slowly.
Xiao Zheng nodded, "I know, I’ll definitely be careful. Since Eric dared to arrange a meeting with me, it means he has definitely thought of a way to deal with me. If I go over without any preparation, wouldn’t I be quite foolish?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
"With my Supreme Realm powers, even if they have an ambush, if I want to escape with all my heart, they can’t do anything to me."
Hades knew he was speaking the truth, then nodded and said, "Then I’ll send you off."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with surprise.
This was the first time Hades had said she’d send him off since they had known each other for so long.
The two then walked out of the great hall together.
During this process, neither of them spoke.
Even at the moment of farewell, Xiao Zheng just waved his hand to Hades, then flew skyward and quickly disappeared into the clouds.
Saint Sochiya, located at the northernmost tip of the European Continent.
Near the Polar, it snows all year round.
It is truly a land of ice and snow.
When Xiao Zheng arrived, everyone was startled because he seemed to appear out of thin air, wearing only a suit and a white shirt.
Despite being dressed so lightly, he showed no signs of feeling cold.
It couldn’t help but frighten the locals living there.
Xiao Zheng paid no attention to their gazes and walked straight into a nearby hotel. There was still close to twenty hours left before his scheduled meeting with Eric. He certainly wouldn’t foolishly stand in the wind and snow waiting.
Under the respectful gazes of the front desk staff, he finally got his room key.
For a long period afterward, Xiao Zheng stayed in his room.
Outside, the wind and snow continued to swirl, seemingly having nothing to do with him.
No one knew how much time had passed when Xiao Zheng, fully focused on maintaining his peak condition, was suddenly startled awake by a ringing phone. He picked up the phone lying on the bed and saw it was commented as Su Zimo’s call.
No need to think further, it must be Eric calling.
"Where are you?"
After connecting the call, Xiao Zheng immediately asked.
Hearing this, Eric first laughed heartily, then said, "The Evil God is still so impatient, but don’t worry, I know you care deeply about Miss Su’s safety. But I can tell you very clearly, she is safe now."
"Where are you?"
Xiao Zheng asked again.
His tone hadn’t changed a word, even the inflection was exactly the same.
Eric helplessly sighed, then said, "You come out of the city now, I’m waiting for you at Karis Lake. The scenery here is pretty good, the lake is frozen like a mirror..."
Xiao Zheng didn’t want to hear his nonsense and directly hung up the phone.
After learning that Eric was now at Karis Lake, he immediately set off.
Karis Lake is a huge lake within the territory of Saint Sochiya. Every summer during the days of rare wind and snow, the fishermen living in Saint Sochiya come here to fish.
But now, in the midst of winter, snow and ice abound, that bustling fishing scene is surely nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Zheng walked through the vast snowy expanse and soon arrived at the lakeside of Karis Lake.
On the frozen lake surface, over a dozen figures could be clearly seen quietly waiting for him.
Among these people, only one was young.
There’s no doubt he was Eric.
As for the twelve armored warriors behind Eric, their identities certainly needed no further explanation. They were all the Holy Temple Knights sent by the Church to protect each Saint Heir.
A total of thirteen people, all with powers above the Martial Saint Realm!
"Respectful Evil God, we finally meet."
"It’s nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself again, I’m Eric Augustine."
The young man with long golden wavy hair approached Xiao Zheng with a smile.
In contrast, Xiao Zheng wore a cold expression.
Xiao Zheng seemed to blend in with the surrounding wind and snow, emanating an aura of chilling intimidation!
