305 The Person Who Suddenly Disappeared
Ye Xuan also asked Qian Yuan to pay more attention. Sometimes, it was not easy for demonic beasts to attract attention, and coupled with their large numbers, they might have unexpected results.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell the other demonic beasts to pay more attention to this.”
After all, this was related to the peace of the demonic beasts. If the world was really in chaos, the demonic beasts would not be able to stay out of it.
Qian Yuan seemed to have thought of something. He said, “Human cultivators have short lifespans, but we demonic beasts are different. We have long lifespans. Right now, there might even be great demons that have lived for a thousand years. They might know something.”
The greater the demon’s cultivation, the longer the demon’s lifespan. They rarely appeared in the world and usually undergo closed-door cultivation deep in the mountains and forests. Even if Qian Yuan wanted to find them, he would not be able to find them in a short time.
Furthermore, Changping was Qian Yuan’s territory and he was the boss there. However, if Qian Yuan went to other territories, it might not be the same.
But demonic beasts had always believed that strength was the most important. Whoever was the strongest would be the boss. According to Qian Yuan’s current strength, most demonic beasts would not be his match. In addition, he had the dragon clan’s bloodline in his body. Even if there was a thousand-year-old great demon, they would have to show him some respect.
“There won’t be any danger, right? The strength of a thousand-year-old demon is unfathomable. If it really exists, even if you have the dragon clan’s bloodline, I’m afraid it will be disadvantageous to you.”
Although the bloodline pressure made most of the demonic beasts not dare to act presumptuously, there were still some exceptions that could ignore the pressure.
After all, the purer the bloodline of a high-level demon beast, the more powerful the energy contained in its blood would be. It could help them purify themselves and improve their strength. It could be said to be a great tonic, and there would always be a few who would be tempted.
“You’re underestimating me,” Qian Yuan said in a domineering manner.
Although he was born less than a hundred years ago, he had a series of fortuitous encounters. With Ye Xuan’s help, he got rid of the impurities in his body and evolved from a flood dragon to a true dragon.
Now, because of the altar, his strength had improved. Even if there was a thousand-year-old demon, it was still unknown whether that demon would win against him.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Besides, we demonic beasts don’t have so many schemes like you humans. That’s very troublesome.”
With Qian Yuan’s help, the investigation would be much easier.
“In short, if there is any new information, I will inform you immediately.”
The three of them exchanged a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling were ready to leave. Before they left, Qian Yuan gave them a lot of good things to thank them for their help.
The snake spiritual grass, red phosphorus fruit, Heaven’s Will Seed, and so on. They were all good hundred-year-old medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits. Any one of them was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, the kind that could not be bought with money.
After all, they all grew in the depths of the demonic beasts’ forest, and ordinary people couldn’t enter at all, so these items were all very old. In any case, they were useless to Qian Yuan, so they were all harvested and given to Ye Xuan and Shen Changling.
The harvest this time was not bad. Because of the heart and the power of the altar, Ye Xuan’s cultivation improved a lot, and Shen Changling also showed signs of a breakthrough.
“I don’t know what Master is doing. Did he not receive my message?”
Looking at the jade slip in his hand that still had no reaction, Shen Changling could not help but complain, “I wanted to tell him that I’m about to break through after this trip.”
“He might have been delayed by something else.”
When Ye Xuan and Shen Changling rushed back to the Sword Sect, they were told that Mo Jianming had gone missing!
Shen Changling couldn’t believe it. “How is this possible? Why did Master go missing?”
He Jiantian’s expression was grave. He replied, “It’s a long story. Not long after you left, everything was peaceful. However, your master said that he was going to investigate something. After he left, he never returned. We couldn’t contact him no matter what.”
No wonder he said that he didn’t receive a reply from Mo Jianming. It turned out that he had gone missing.
Shen Changling was Mo Jianming’s direct disciple. Therefore, Shen Changling and Mo Jianming had the deepest and closest relationship. When he heard this news, his face turned extremely ugly.
“But you don’t have to worry too much,” He Jiantian consoled. “Although we can’t find Elder Mo’s whereabouts, his life token has always been intact. I don’t think his life is in danger.”
Even so, Shen Changling’s heart couldn’t be completely at ease.
“How could Master suddenly disappear? Did anything unusual happen before that?”
He Jiantian shook his head and replied, “As the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect, Mo Jianming must have moved alone. No one would know his whereabouts, and no one could possibly overstep their boundaries and ask him about it.”
No one knew when Mo Jianming went missing. A few days later, He Jiantian had something important to discuss with Mo Jianming, but he realized that he couldn’t find Mo Jianming. The messages he sent out were like rocks sinking into the sea, there was no reply from Mo Jianming.
Even if Mo Jianming was free and uninhibited, such a situation would not happen. Something must have happened.
He Jiantian could not help but sigh, “I’ve already ordered for the news to be sealed. I’ve also sent other elders to look for him. So many days have passed, but we’ve found nothing.”
It was as if Mo Jianming had evaporated into thin air, not leaving any clues behind.
He was the pillar of the Sword Sect’s combat power. If something really happened to him, who knew what the Dao Seeking Sect, Misty Illusory Manor, and the Infinity Sect would do?
“It can’t be the work of the other sects, right?”
Shen Changling couldn’t help but start to speculate. After all, the other major sects had always been at odds with each other and had many conflicts with the Sword Sect. Although they were barely maintaining peace on the surface, there were many small tricks played by the major sects in the dark.
