Chapter 1110: Like a Ghost
By using a simple little scheme and with the cooperation of the Ziguang Society, Zhang Yuelu successfully identified the exact location where the Nanyang United Trading Company was holding slaves. It was right in the central district of Lion City.
However, Zhang Yuelu understood very clearly that the small trick she used to make that woman fall ill would not withstand close scrutiny. It could easily alert the Nanyang United Trading Company and prompt them to relocate the captives early. Thus, she had to act immediately. There was no room for the slightest delay.
Thus, as soon as Zhang Yuelu ended her communication with Qi Xuansu, she set out at once. She followed the trace of aura she had left inside that woman’s body and arrived outside the Nanyang United Trading Company’s warehouse.
From the outside, this warehouse resembled an ordinary Western-style villa. According to intelligence from the Ziguang Society, it was not registered under the Nanyang United Trading Company but under the name of a Westerner. Thus, from appearance alone, this “villa” had no connection to the Company.
Simply destroying the warehouse held little meaning for Zhang Yuelu. She needed to link this place directly to the Nanyang United Trading Company, catch the thief with the stolen goods, and expose their wrongdoing with undeniable proof.
Only when both the perpetrators and the incriminating evidence were present could she secure airtight proof, leaving the Nanyang United Trading Company with no room to deny anything.
Naturally, formations had been set up around the residence to prevent slaves inside from escaping and to stop enemies from intruding.
But this posed no problem for Zhang Yuelu. With just a slight activation of the Six Void Tribulations, she silently broke through the formation and slipped inside with ease.
In truth, having a Wuliang-stage Heavenly Being handle such a task was excessive. However, if an ordinary Xiantian Being were to attempt breaking in, these formations would have fully displayed their intended defensive effect.
Concealing her presence, Zhang Yuelu moved through the villa like a fish in the water. She followed the faint strand of aura and soon found a hidden downward passage.
Clearly, the villa aboveground was merely a disguise. The real warehouse lay underground.
Zhang Yuelu did not bother trying to find the mechanism that opened the passage. Instead, she directly used the Five Elements Escape Method to burrow through the ground and enter the underground passage below.
