"Chao Shenghuai is missing?" Lu Xun frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"
The man reported, "It happened yesterday! I found another insider to ask Tu Yuanpei and found out that the Wan Shou Faction is looking for Chao Shenghuai. As soon as I heard that Chao Shenghuai's disappearance is related to our mission, I immediately found out what happened. He said that Chao Shenghuai was drinking in a restaurant in Wanxiang City and was suddenly asked to leave by a waiter. He never showed up again after that. After the commotion, the disciples of the Wan Shou Faction went to investigate and found out that the restaurant had been set up. Chao Shenghuai might have met with a mishap … "
He told them about what he had heard from the Wan Shou School. He told them that the Wan Shou School had mobilized a large number of people, but they still hadn't found any trace of Chao Shenghuai.
Lu Xun frowned and paced back and forth. Slowly, he said, "He didn't go missing earlier or later, but on the day we arrived. Is there something wrong?"
They were here under the order of Ding Wei, the leader of the Misty Pavilion.
Huang Ban witnessed the argument between Chao Jing and Taishu Shanyue and reported the situation. When Ding Wei received the news, he thought it was interesting. Niu Youdao and Chao Jing had done so many things behind the scenes, but the Misty Pavilion did not know anything about it.
The Lord was already dissatisfied with the Misty Pavilion. Now that he was in charge of the Misty Pavilion, he could not just sit and watch. Moreover, because of the strange relationship between Niu Youdao and Luo Fangfei, the Lord was also interested in Niu Youdao. Therefore, he sent someone to Chao Shenghuai to investigate. He wanted to find out the inside story and see if there were any clues that could implicate Luo Fangfei.
The people he sent arrived, but the person they were investigating was missing!
After hearing this, they looked at each other and one of them said, "Xun, are you suspecting that someone leaked the information?"
Lu Xun turned around and said, "Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?"
Another person said, "We left immediately after receiving Mr. Ding's order. We did not stop for a second and kept flying in the sky. We did not have any contact with anyone else."
Lu Xun waved his hand. "I am not saying that we leaked the information. Even if we leaked the information, the incident would not have happened so long before we did. If the information was really leaked, it could have been someone close to Mr. Ding. Normally, Mr. Ding would not have announced what he was going to do. The time does not match either. Even if someone close to Mr. Ding leaked the information yesterday and knew that we were coming, how could they have arrived so early? Besides, Chao Shenghuai's disappearance didn't seem like a last minute plan, he must have spent a lot of time to prepare, that's why he was able to make such a precise move, that's why he was able to do it so quietly under the nose of the Wan Shou Sect. "
He turned around and asked the person, "When did Tu Yuanpei go?"
The person replied, "I do not know the exact time, but someone saw Tu Yuanpei last saw Tu Yupei last night. Tu Yuanpei wasn't the person sent to search for Chao Shenghuai, nor did he ask for leave from the sect. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to not return. Tu Yuanpei's disciples are also looking for him, but they haven't found him yet. "
"Ch." Xis Tu, "Tu." Ch., Yu, Ch., Chuan Xun, Chang is, "Tu, Ch. "Chao Shenghuai is missing. Tu Yuanpei is a member of the Misty Pavilion. Why is he missing?"
After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "Tu Yuanpei's other identity is a secret. We just found out about it because we are here on a mission. Everyone, this isn't normal at all! "
Someone asked, "Chao Shenghuai is missing. How can we continue with Mr. Ding's mission? How about we just show up and find Xihaitang, the head of the Wan Shou Sect, and ask him to cooperate with us? "
Lu Xun said, "It is not that simple. We will get ourselves into trouble if we act rashly. Don't alert the enemy. Let's send a message to Mr. Ding and wait for his decision!"
…
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie had been waiting for Niu Youdao for almost two days, but Niu Youdao had not come back yet.
They were very anxious. Niu Youdao told them to wait, but he did not come back. They did not know if something had happened to him.
And what about what he did before? Should he leave or not? Should he go back and betray Niu Youdao to the Misty Pavilion to atone for his crimes? The conflicting feelings between the two of them caused him to sink into extreme torment.
If they did not leave and stayed here, they were afraid that the Misty Pavilion would find out that Elder Niu was missing.
If something really happened to Elder Niu, how long would they stay here?
Why did Elder Niu do that? There were many things that they could not understand. Fear lingered in their hearts.
Fortunately, Niu Youdao did not delay for too long. Otherwise, as time passed, who knew what choice the two of them would make. There was a commotion, and the two of them raised their heads. They saw a figure descend from the sky with a whoosh, passing through the treetops and landing on the ground.
"Elder!" They heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to greet him.
Niu Youdao nodded and looked around. He asked, "Is everything clean?"
They nodded. Qin Guan said, "Yes, there are no traces left."
Ke Dingjie asked, "Elder, you have been gone for so long. What happened to the black fox?"
It had been a long time, mainly because of the delay on the way back. Niu Youdao said, "The black fox has been taken care of. I was delayed by something on the way."
He could not say that he had been chasing the black fox for a long time. It was hard to explain. The demonic fox could hide in the swamp unless he revealed that he could move stealthily in the swamp.
Hearing that they had succeeded in silencing the witnesses, the two of them were relieved of their greatest worries. They felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.
"Elder, what do we do now? Are we going to meet up with the others?" Qin Guan asked.
Niu Youdao paced around and asked, "Is there anything unusual in my absence?"
Qin Guan said, "Nothing unusual. I haven't seen anyone."
Niu Youdao said, "Let's go to the place we agreed on. There is still plenty of time. There is no hurry. I am a little tired from all the running. Let's rest here for three days. "
Three days of rest? That long? They looked at each other in dismay.
Little did they know that Niu Youdao had consumed a lot of mana during the long journey back and forth. Most importantly, he was injured by Yin Ji and his injuries were not light. If he wasn't worried that something would happen to the two of them, he wouldn't have rushed back. Now that the situation was stabilized, he needed time to heal his injuries. It wasn't convenient for him to travel with injuries.
The meeting place they had agreed on on the map before they parted ways had been reserved for ten days to half a month, so there was no need to rush.
Niu Youdao then sat down cross-legged and entered the process of healing his injuries.
Qin and Ke were in charge of guarding him. Now that Niu Youdao had returned, they had no choice but to follow Niu Youdao's lead.
The sky darkened. This time, there was no bonfire …
The sky was bright. Niu Youdao, who had paused for a while, asked them to copy the information of the people related to the Misty Pavilion. He checked it again and kept it on him.
After relaxing for a while, Niu Youdao started to heal his injuries again.
In the evening, Qin and Ke came over with some food. He couldn't help but ask, "Elder, you left for so long, weren't you afraid that we would betray you?"
Originally, even if the two of them didn't ask, Niu Youdao would still find an opportunity to knock the two of them a few times in order to calm them down. Since he had asked, it was just as well. He asked, "How did I leave the Saint Realm before?"
The two looked at each other. Qin Guan said, "Did Luo Fangfei, the Pavilion Master of the Fangfei Pavilion, send you out?"
Niu Youdao said, "Is there anything in this world that comes without a reason? Betray me? Do you really think you can betray me? Do you believe that as soon as you open your mouth, someone from the Misty Pavilion will kill you immediately? "
The two were secretly shocked. They understood what Niu Youdao meant. He had someone in the Misty Pavilion.
The warning was effective. The two were finally reassured. They did not dare to act rashly after receiving the warning …
In the Misty Pavilion on Tiandu Peak, Ding Wei was leaning against the railing facing the vast world. He was reading a secret letter in his hand, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sneer.
His assistant asked, "What should we do?"
"Gone! The person I wanted to investigate is gone! Even the spy that the Misty Pavilion planted in the Wan Shou Sect is missing. Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting. "Ding Wei was still laughing coldly.
His assistant asked, "Sir, are you suspecting that someone from the Misty Pavilion leaked the information?"
Ding Wei said, "Chao Jing and Taishu Mountain City fell out in the Saint State. They could not have leaked the information themselves, unless someone from the Saint State helped them. Don't you think it's strange that they went missing at this time? Other than the people from the Misty Pavilion, who else could it be? "
His assistant said, "The Misty Pavilion is made up of people from the Nine Clans. It's hard to investigate!"
Ding Wei sighed, "It's not important whether it's easy to investigate or not. The problem is that you threw me a hot potato. The Lord already has the intention to reorganize the people. What would The Lord think if this matter was exposed? I don't know the intention of the mastermind and I'm the one in charge of the Misty Pavilion. Do you think I would dare to hide it? "
His assistant shook his head, "This is really tricky."
Ding Wei said, "We still have to investigate. Use all the resources to investigate all the people involved in this matter. We will try to find out the truth."
"Yes!" His assistant replied.
Ding Wei turned and left, "Prepare the flying beast, I'm going back to the Saint State."
His assistant quickly followed, "Sir, you just came from the Saint State. Why are you going back to the Saint State?"
Ding Wei said, "It's not good to spread the news. There are too many people involved. I have to go back and report to the Master personally. I don't know which bastard made me run back and forth. "
…
Three days later, Niu Youdao had almost recovered. The three of them set off again. It was the same along the way. Niu Youdao still did not let them attack the Demonic Fox. He did not look like he was here to train, but more like he was here for a stroll.
Both Qin and Ke found that Elder Niu was in a good mood. He would always stop and observe the flowers, plants, and bugs that they had never seen before.
The next meeting point was very far away. They only arrived after five to six days. It was a forest with a large area. It was clearly marked on the map. That was why they decided to meet here.
