If I can find Little King Kong and get him to agree to hand over the management of the Heavenly Dao, then I can go back.
"Let's go back to town."
The five returned to town and, after making some inquiries, actually obtained news about Little King Kong.
This guy didn't even change his name; a quick search on the Adventurers' Guild website revealed his identity.
However, after inquiring, it was learned that Little King Kong had not come to accept missions for quite some time, so the members of the Adventurers' Guild did not know where Little King Kong had gone.
"How awful! If we had come here sooner, we could have found him."
The time machine was getting a little frustrated. Why did Little King Kong have to leave?
"Is the 'Little King Kong' you're talking about your teammate?"
Ye Zi, unaware of what was going on, couldn't help but ask a question when she saw Hao Yun and the other three looking frantic.
"I guess so. We'll probably be searching town by town from now on. Do you still want to team up with us?"
Ye Zi chuckled in response to Hao Yun's question.
"We're teammates, of course I want to be with you guys."
After submitting the union's task, Hao Yun and the others set off to visit each town in turn.
In each town they arrived at, they would go to the Adventurers' Guild to ask if Little King Kong had been there.
Unbeknownst to them, Hao Yun's team had already traveled all over the empire, but there was still no news of Little King Kong.
"Hey, do you think Little King Kong might have already left?"
Six-man frowned, thinking that Little King Kong might have already left this world.
"Impossible. If you can't open a time-space portal, neither can Little King Kong. He might be hiding somewhere right now. Let's keep searching; we'll definitely find him."
The time machine had a determined expression, looking like it wouldn't give up until it found Little King Kong.
"If you ask me, we should post the quests through the Adventurers' Guild. Otherwise, how long would it take us to find them all by ourselves?"
Ye Zi leaned against the carriage, constantly tapping her aching calves.
"That's right, let's go! We'll go to the capital, where the Adventurers' Guild headquarters will issue a quest. I refuse to believe we still can't find Little King Kong this way!"
The time machine perked up and urged Sun Wukong to change course and return to the capital.
"Hey, can you guys learn how to catch the bus? I'm always alone, it's exhausting!"
Sun Wukong, who was in charge of driving the carriage, couldn't help but complain that he had to drive the carriage every day for the past three months and was getting tired of it.
"Don't move! This is a robbery!"
A dozen cavalrymen rushed over and surrounded the carriage carrying Hao Yun and the others.
"Stop the car! Didn't you hear me robbing you?"
The four people inside the carriage looked at each other.
"Who's coming?"
This wasn't the first time they'd encountered robbers, so the five people in the car remained calm.
"Hao Yun, you should go. You're faster."
Hao Yun shrugged, bent down, and jumped off the carriage.
"Hey, we're in a hurry, you guys need to hurry up."
The surrounding robbers were stunned. They had been robbing people here for years, but this was the first time they had encountered someone so arrogant.
"Wow! There really are people who aren't afraid of death."
A burly bandit grinned and rode up to Hao Yun on horseback.
"Kids, are you going to pay up to save your lives, or will we kill you and you take the money?"
"Hey bro, there's a pretty girl in the car!"
Chapter 213 Red Street
The bandit leader, upon hearing his subordinate's words, turned and glanced into the car.
"Yes, it's really quite beautiful."
After speaking, the bandit leader looked at Hao Yun with a mocking smile on his face.
"Kid, if you leave her here, I'll let you go. Now get lost!"
Hao Yun smiled and shrugged, then called out to Ye Zi inside the car.
"Ye Zi, did you hear that? They've taken a liking to you. If you stay, we can leave!"
Ye Zi, inside the carriage, grinned maliciously, clenched her fist, grabbed her shield, and jumped down.
"Who said they were going to keep me here?"
Time Machine and Six-Wa leaned against the carriage, took out a handful of melon seeds, and began to watch the excitement.
"Sixth Brother, how long do you think it will take Ye Zi to deal with them? I guess one minute."
"I think it'll only last thirty seconds. Shall we take a gamble? Ten gold coins."
"Okay, let's bet ten gold coins."
The bet was settled, and Liuwa shouted at Yezi.
"Ye Zi, I'll beat you by thirty seconds and finish the fight. If I win, we'll split the winnings fifty-fifty!"
"Sixth Brother! You're cheating. Even if you win, it doesn't count."
The time machine snatched back the money bag, deciding not to gamble with Six-Wa anymore.
The bandits, who had gathered together, were enraged to find that the other party was blatantly ignoring them.
Damn it, I'm a ruthless bandit who kills without blinking an eye, and you actually used us as a wager?
"Brothers, kill them!"
At the bandit leader's command, a dozen or so bandits rushed forward with sinister smiles, ready to kill Hao Yun and the others.
"Tch! You have such a weak mental fortitude."
The time machine curled its lip and tossed a tornado at the surrounding bandits.
In an instant, all of the dozen or so bandits were swept away by the tornado.
The magic dissipated, leaving a pile of mangled flesh on the ground. The once arrogant bandit instantly turned pale and fell off his horse.
"I'm sorry, please spare my life. I'm willing to give up all my possessions."
The bandit leader was very good at changing his tune, and he knelt on the ground kowtowing repeatedly.
"What should we do? Kill him?"
The time machine looked at Hao Yun, manipulating the wind blade in its hand, ready to act at any moment.
"Kill him. We're in a hurry to get to the capital. We don't have time to waste with him."
Hao Yun climbed onto the carriage, ignoring the bandits kneeling and kowtowing on the ground.
"Oh well."
The time machine was slightly disappointed. It loved raiding bandits' hideouts the most, and each raid brought it a windfall.
While the two were talking, the bandit leader mounted his horse and quickly fled into the distance.
The time machine curled its lip. "I'm a magician standing right here. Do you think you can get away?"
Several wind blades flew out, and the fleeing bandit leader fell off his horse and lay on the ground, lifeless.
"Set off."
Hao Yun sat in front of the carriage and began to try to drive it.
Ten days later, Hao Yunhua offered a hefty reward to Little King Kong at the Imperial Capital Adventurers Guild.
Anyone who brings Little King Kong here will receive a reward of 10,000 gold coins.
Such a generous bounty caused an instant sensation, with everyone speculating about the identity of this Little King Kong.
Soon, Little King Kong's information appeared on the bulletin board.
With Hao Yun's encouragement, the bounty on Little King Kong was quickly issued to all towns in the empire.
Such a high reward has driven countless people to search for Little King Kong.
Ten thousand gold coins is an astronomical figure for most people.
After the mission was issued, Hao Yun and the others stayed in the capital and began to wait patiently.
"Hao Yun, do you want to go out for a stroll with me? The red-light district in the capital is something else, much better than the red-light districts in those small towns."
Liuwa sidled up to Hao Yun and whispered something to him.
"Yeah?"
Hao Yun raised an eyebrow and casually replied.
"Of course, I went for a walk yesterday, and guess what I saw?"
The mysterious demeanor of the sixth child piqued Hao Yun's interest.
"What is it? Speak quickly!"
"They're fairies, and even night demons. Want to come have some fun with me tonight?"
When Night Demon was mentioned, Six-Wa's face broke into a lewd grin.
"Cough cough,"
Hao Yun coughed and turned his head away, no longer talking to Liuwa.
Ye Zi, who had just returned from shopping, looked at Hao Yun and Liu Wa, who were acting suspiciously, and asked them a question.
"What are you talking about, all so mysteriously?"
