Ye Tianmei frowned, and her expression was dignified. She stared at the few drops of black blood without blinking.
As soon as she stepped into the house, her Divine Thought had already been opened, covering the house and everything within a few dozen feet. But with her powerful cultivation of the Crystallization Period, she did not find any clues about the few drops of black blood at that time.
This time, if Ye Tianmei didn't find the temporary residence of the two according to the previous clues, and didn't hesitate to use the mystic art of true spirit to cast the magical weapon with the blood essence of the two Alliance deputies that was given by the Alliance's top management to find the traces of these drops of black blood, this matter would be even more clueless.
Even so, at present, apart from these drops of black blood, the two couldn't find any other clues for a while.
Now it seemed that it was very likely that someone deliberately did it. They actually used some strange means to erase most of the clues related to the two deputies in this house.
These residual black blood may be the negligence of the other party.
"It seems that the two deputies of the Alliance have most likely encountered an accident." Liu Ming looked at these black blood, sighed, and murmured.
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome." Ye Tianmei said slowly after a moment of silence. Her jade hand waved in the air. After the silver light flashed, the silver cauldron flew back into her sleeve and disappeared.
"Master's Junior Ye found this place through mystic arts this time, but so far, the clues are very vague. I wonder what's your plan now?" Liu Ming saw it and asked with his eyes flashing slightly.
"Since we have found this place, there is naturally no reason to retreat." Ye Tianmei raised her eyebrows, and said in a quite firm tone.
"Then what can I do for you?" Liu Ming said with a sincere look on his face.
"Since Junior Nephew said so, you can go to this Valley South City to inquire about the news in these two days. It is best to know if there is anything unusual in the city recently. As for other things, I have my own considerations. "Ye Tianmei replied directly without hesitation.
"Yes, as Master's Junior commands!" Liu Ming nodded without hesitation and agreed.
"The people involved in this matter are not simple. It may involve the existence of the crystallization period." Ye Tian Mei said slowly after thinking about it.
"Crystallization Period! Could it be related to the three major forces on the island? "Liu Ming was surprised after listening.
If he really got involved with the Crystallization Period, it would undoubtedly be a bit troublesome to intervene in this matter. Although his strength was comparable to the Condensation Period later stage, and he had the help of Bone Scorpion and the demon, it was still impossible to win when encountering the existence of the Crystallization Period.
Ye Tian Mei saw that Liu Ming was deep in thought and didn't speak for a while. She said with a faint smile,
"The two deputies are also Condensation Period cultivators. Only Crystallization Period cultivators can silently kidnap or kill them from the inn. However, this is only my guess at the moment. As for whether it is true or not, it is still unknown. But when you walk in the city, it's best to be more cautious. "
"Thank you for Martial Uncle Ye's reminder. I will be more careful!" When Liu Ming heard this, his heart trembled slightly as he replied.
… …
Nothing happened that night!
Early the next morning, Liu Ming walked out of the Bibo Inn calmly and began to slowly check the shops along the streets of Valley South City.
For the first time after entering Bieyuan Island, and in the absence of a clue, he could only try to walk to the crowded places.
Even though this Valley South City couldn't be compared with Xuanjing, the capital of Da Xuan Kingdom in the general sense, the number of shops was quite amazing.
It took him most of the day to go through less than half of the shops.
Although there were a lot of unexpected gains, and he found some attribute crystal stones and rare materials, there was no similar news about the disappearance of the cultivators.
Liu Ming was not discouraged by this, but he had been maintaining an indifferent look.
… …
In the remaining half of the day, Liu Ming continued to wander around the city. He also bought some information related to this place from a few secret factions that specialized in selling information.
Finally, he had some general understanding of the situation of this Valley South City.
First of all, there were indeed cultivators missing recently, but this was not news, and it even happened often. But all of them were low-level casual cultivators who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. They fought with people in the shops or auction places in the city. They were expelled by the Crystal Valley patrolling guards, and their cultivation was abolished and thrown into the Spirit Prison.
The so-called disappearance was that from time to time, people in the Spirit Prison would be sent to the Crystal Valley Mine to be demoted to slave labor. This was a well-known thing in Valley South City, but most people would not mention it. It was just a tacit understanding.
Secondly, there was news that three deputy disciples of a large Sea Creature Clan were sent to Bieyuan Island. They were killed by an unknown female cultivator in the port town. One of them, who was in the Condensation Period intermediate stage, even ended up with no bones left. The higher-ups of the force were very angry about this, and they had sent their elders to Bieyuan Island to investigate the matter.
When Liu Ming heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but deep in his heart, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
… …
The morning of the third day.
In front of the "Green Bamboo Restaurant", an old restaurant in the downtown area of Valley South City, a young man in a gray robe came.
The man stood on the wide street in front of the building, squinting at the sign of the restaurant, and his expression was quite strange. It was Liu Ming.
Coincidentally, he had originally planned to inquire about it in the restaurant in the city today. The Beastkin Clan cultivator who sold the news yesterday, after talking, was quite enthusiastic and strongly recommended the spirit wine "Green Bamboo" in this restaurant.
The restaurant area was not large, but the business was very prosperous, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going.
The reason for this was that the spirit wine "Green Bamboo" sold in this restaurant was of great benefit to cultivators, and it also had the effect of prolonging life for mortals.
Pedestrians passing by on the street outside the restaurant could smell the strong wine fragrance from the restaurant, which made people salivate and was very tempting.
After Liu Ming found that the people eating on the first floor were all mortals of all races, he went up to the second floor.
After sitting at the table by the street window on the second floor, Liu Ming ordered a bottle of the famous "Green Bamboo" spirit wine.
… …
Playing with the small wine cup filled with "Green Bamboo", he saw that the spirit wine in the cup was viscous and light green. A faint fragrance could be smelled from afar, and an inconspicuous aura spread around with the fragrance.
Liu Ming, on the other hand, was looking down at something from the window with an absent-minded and lazy look.
At this time, footsteps and the soft conversation of an old man and a young girl came from downstairs.
The sound of "Deng Deng" going upstairs came clearly.
Not long after, an old man in a yellow robe with a thin face and a sallow complexion and a petite body, but the skin was quite white and tender, and the facial features were light and seemed to have a trace of childishness. They appeared at the stairway.
Judging from the breath they exuded, they were also two cultivators.
Liu Ming's mental power quietly scanned, and he probably found that the girl in the yellow robe should be at the intermediate stage of the Spirit Apostle, and the old man on the side deliberately suppressed his breath, so his spiritual power should not be weak.
The young girl appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her face was filled with worry and anxiety. She sat down at a table with the old man, but after eating and drinking a few mouthfuls of food, they both stopped eating, as if they had something on their minds.
"Grandfather! It has been so many days, and there is still no news of them. Is there really no clues left in the inn? "The girl in the yellow robe suddenly said to the old man.
"Ling Er, there are many big and small forces here. Don't be too anxious before things are clear. After all, they are also at the Condensation Period, and it is not the first time they came to this Valley South City to purchase resources from the Crystal Valley." The old man frowned first and glanced around. After he found that no one was paying attention to their conversation, he whispered with a relaxed look.
"Then will they not stay in that inn?" The girl in the yellow robe seemed to be unwilling to ask, but her voice was obviously much smaller.
"This is unlikely. Every time they came to this Valley South City to do business, they would temporarily stay in this' Zhen Yuan 'Inn. They are also familiar with the inn owner. Bai Hao's character is unusual, and he is steady. If there is no special situation, he will not easily stay in a strange inn. "The old man pondered for a moment, then he replied in a low voice.
"Then when were they discovered to be missing? Could it be because of the spirit stones they were carrying? Could it be that they were murdered by someone who coveted their wealth?" The young girl asked again. Her tone was a little hurried, and her voice was a little louder.
"In the past, after they came to this Valley South City, they would regularly send a message to the Sect every month to report that they were safe. But nine months ago, the Sect sent them to this Valley South City to purchase a batch of resources urgently, but there has been no news. Therefore, the Sect sent me to investigate. Whether it was really because of the spirit stones, it was not easy to say. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon on this island. If this is the case, it is even more difficult to trace. In any case, we still have no clue at present. Let's go back to the Sect first and then make a long-term plan. "When the old man said this, he sighed slightly.
"In this way, we really can only go back to the Sect first and think of other ways." The girl in the yellow robe murmured, and the disappointed expression was on her face.
After the two of them finished talking, they hurriedly ate some food and left.
Nine months ago, they disappeared in Valley South City, and they also came here to purchase resources from the Crystal Valley! Isn't it almost the same time when the two Alliance Deacons lost contact?
Liu Ming's mental strength was so powerful that he just released it a little, and he heard the conversation.
The news that came out of it made his heart shake a lot!
He didn't expect to get such a good result. Yesterday, he got nothing for the whole day, but now in this restaurant, he got such news by coincidence.
This made him excited!
Immediately, Liu Ming put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up quietly, and walked to the stairs.
