Time was of the essence, with only half a month left—it was extremely urgent.
Therefore, Zhou Mingde had chosen to leave the Zhou Family with Zhou Daoyi this time, covertly heading to Dragon Abyss Marsh to survey the situation on site.
Apart from Zhou Chun and the second elder, Zhou Chongshan, no one else knew about the departure of these two mainstays of the Zhou Family, not even the third elder, Zhou Daoquan.
Fortunately, as Zhou Chun was already in charge of the family affairs and Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde hardly ever showed himself, there was no concern about this matter being suddenly discovered.
This way, eight days had passed, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned.
Upon their return, Zhou Mingde said with a joyful expression, "We've thoroughly investigated and it appears that fortune truly favors our Zhou Family this time—the exit of the underground river into Dragon Abyss Marsh is less than a thousand miles from our target location!"
