The Hidden Cloud Pavilion was an intelligence organization nurtured by the Yun Family. It was best at gathering information, investigating clues, and assassinating.
The Yun Family had set up three branches of the Hidden Cloud Pavilion in Zhongzhou City, with more than 300 secret agents stationed there.
Deacon Li was in charge of the Southern City branch, with more than 100 secret agents working under him.
After receiving Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao's orders, Deacon Li immediately sent half of his men to investigate in the city.
In everyone's eyes, Yan 'er's route from the Monarch Mansion to the Southern City branch was fixed.
Moreover, Yan 'er had important matters to attend to, so he wouldn't wander around the city.
He went missing on the way to the Southern City branch, narrowing the scope of the investigation. They should be able to find him soon.
Deacon Li saw that Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were full of worries, so he comforted them.
"Eldest Miss, Young Master Ji, please rest assured. The secret agents will definitely be able to find the news in 12 hours at most.
Please don't be impatient and wait patiently for a while. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and asked Deacon Li to withdraw for the time being.
He and Yun Yao stayed in the secret chamber, quietly waiting for the results.
Time passed by quietly and 12 hours passed quickly.
However, the secret agents hadn't found the result yet.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao both realized that the situation was not good.
Yan 'er's disappearance was probably very complicated.
Yun Yao called Deacon Li and asked him about the situation.
Deacon Li's expression was a bit solemn and he said in a low and deep voice, "Eldest Miss, this matter is very complicated. The other party did it very covertly and their methods are very clever.
According to this subordinate's estimation, the other party is most likely an assassin who is proficient in ambushes and assassinations, and it was premeditated long ago. "
Hearing his words, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and asked, "Deacon Li, in that case, you can conclude that Yan 'er was kidnapped by the assassin?"
Deacon Li quickly nodded and said, "That's right. Those assassins are not weak and their methods are very ingenious.
Even with the strength of our Hidden Cloud Pavilion, it's difficult to find the result in a short time. "
Yun Yao frowned and muttered to herself, "There are only a few assassin organizations that can be compared to the Hidden Cloud Pavilion. Who could have done it?"
She and Ji Tianxing looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they had guessed the result.
"If it wasn't done by the Demon Race, then it was most likely done by the Duanmu Clan!"
Deacon Li nodded again and said, "That's right. According to the information sent back by the spies, this subordinate also thinks that the Duanmu Clan is the most suspicious.
Previously, we investigated that there were a few experts from the Soul Herding Hall who appeared near the Wufeng Manor and hid in the dark for three days.
Just now, I have already ordered the spies to focus on investigating Wufeng Zhuang. I believe there will be results soon. "
Hearing Deacon Li's words, Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao felt slightly relieved.
The two of them suppressed their worries and waited patiently in the secret chamber for another six hours.
Finally, Deacon Li rushed to the secret room again and reported the news in a hurry.
"Reporting to Miss, Mr. Ji, the spies have already investigated the results.
Yesterday morning, Yan 'er was attacked near the Wufeng Manor and was captured by the experts of the Soul Herding Hall.
Those experts of the Soul Herding Hall captured Yan 'er in the Black Cloud Alley and then disappeared completely. "
Hearing this result, Yun Yao suddenly frowned and asked doubtfully, "Yan 'er was captured in the Black Cloud Alley? Why did the people of the Soul Herding Hall go there? "
Deacon Li shook his head with a dignified expression, "This subordinate doesn't know, but this subordinate has sent people into the Underground Dark City and is doing his best to investigate."
When Ji Tianxing heard the two unfamiliar names' Black Cloud Alley 'and' Underground Dark City ', he immediately showed a puzzled expression.
"What does the Underground Dark City mean?"
Yun Yao motioned Deacon Li to retreat and patiently explained to Ji Tianxing, "Tianxing, you just came to Zhongzhou City not long ago and have been busy with cultivation, so you haven't heard of the Underground Dark City.
The Underground Dark City is a dark underground city hidden under the surface of Zhongzhou City.
Speaking of the origin of this Underground Dark City, it has to be traced back to the ancient times. At that time, the demon army swept the world and almost occupied the entire continent.
The demon army besieged Zhongzhou City. The experts of the Human Race, Demon Race and Water Race fought desperately and launched an earth-shattering war.
In that earth-shattering war, more than half of Zhongzhou City was destroyed and turned into a dilapidated city.
The earth in a radius of hundreds of miles turned into an abyss. The remaining half of Zhongzhou City also sank into the abyss and was swallowed by the darkness.
Many years later, the demon army was defeated by the alliance of various races and retreated to the Northern Desert. They retreated and recuperated.
The Monarch Mansion built this Zhongzhou City on the abyss and let Zhongzhou return to peace and tranquility. "
After listening to Yun Yao's explanation, Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "So that's how it is! Now under this Zhongzhou City, there is an abandoned ancient city from the ancient times.
However, thousands of years have passed. Didn't that underground abandoned ancient city turn into ruins long ago? "
Yun Yao shook her head lightly and explained, "In the ancient times, although that ancient city was not as prosperous as today's Zhongzhou City, it was still the most majestic city under the heavens.
Although more than half of that ancient city was destroyed and sunk deep underground, many ancient buildings were still preserved and there were many broken formations protecting it.
So far, the abandoned ancient city was still preserved. Many martial artists from all walks of life lived there, and there were also many evil people and evil people hiding there.
That abandoned ancient city became a place to hide evil. It was full of darkness and murderous aura, so it was called the Underground Dark City.
There are several entrances to the Underground Dark City. Black Cloud Alley is one of the entrances. "
Ji Tianxing roughly understood what kind of place the Underground Dark City was. He asked with a grave expression, "Since the Underground Dark City is so dark and violent, Yan 'er was captured by Soul Shepherd Hall's people. His situation must be very dangerous.
However, why didn't Soul Shepherd Hall's people take him back to Duanmu Family's Qingmu City, but instead to the Underground Dark City? "
Yun Yao frowned and thought for a moment. She said in a low voice, "Duanmu Family controls half of the medicine business in the Zhongzhou Continent. Of course, their power has penetrated the Underground Dark City.
I remember that Duanmu Family has a Shadow Palace in the Underground Dark City. It specializes in selling and trading some materials and poisons that are strictly prohibited by the Imperial Court. "
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed with a cold light. He said in a cold voice, "So, Yan 'er is likely to be captured to the Shadow Palace?
What are we waiting for? Let's enter the Underground Dark City now and go to the Shadow Palace to rescue Yan 'er! "
Yun Yao shook her head gently and said, "Tianxing, don't be impatient. Let's wait for the news from the Hidden Cloud Pavilion first."
The two continued to wait.
Very quickly, another six hours passed.
So far, the two had been waiting for a whole day.
Deacon Li entered the secret room again and reported respectfully, "Young Miss, Young Master Ji, the spies have investigated clearly. Yan 'er was indeed captured to the Underground Dark City.
He was taken into a dilapidated manor and never appeared again … "
