Chapter 309: Gone Missing, Again

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

If those who knew Yan Wugui saw this, they would surely be gobsmacked.

However, it was a pity that the number of people who knew him could be counted with one’s fingers.

Before Lu Mingshu could react, she spotted something weird about the Drug Lord.

Yan Wugui’s attack was just in time to make up for Lu Mingshu’s weakness. The blade dropped down on the Drug Lord, slashing him.

Blood splashed everywhere, soon drowning the Drug Lord in a red fountain. And with a thud, the cauldron dropped right to the floor.

It was obvious that the Drug Lord would die. The poison had exploded in his body and was spreading everywhere. It was just a matter of time.

But that didn’t mean he would give up on whatever he was planning to do.

When he knew in his heart that he could no longer live and fight, a thought flashed past his mind.

Bring them all to hell! All of them!

The mystic force bubbled up into the air, forming invisible waves.

Seeing the Drug Lord lighting up with mystic light, Yan Wugui looked over at Lu Mingshu in worry. “Oh no, he’s going to self-detonate!”

He reached out to Lu Mingshu, wanting to grab her up and throw her out. “Go!”

Who would have guessed that Lu Mingshu would, in turn, grab onto his arm tightly, pulling him with her? “Come with me!”

“It’s too late! I’ll-”

But Lu Mingshu didn’t even pay attention to him. She immediately went into the Heavenly Wheel. “Xiao Sang, open up the passage to another world and activate the bring-a-friend charm!”

The cave was too narrow, and there wasn’t enough time for her to come up with any other tricks. They could only dash to the door before the Drug Lord exploded, but he was a Spirit Realm, and when a Spirit Realm self-detonated, not just the room but the entire cave might collapse. Moreover, both of them were seriously injured at the moment, so the chance of them surviving was very slim. So, the only solution would be…

“Okay,” Xiao Sang replied in monotone. “Opening up the passage to another world, teleporting in process. Bring-a-friend charm has recognized its target. Activate.”

Boom~~~~!

…

Xie Zhanghui felt like he was going to go crazy.

After Lu Mingshu was sucked up by the water dragon tornado, they finally managed to find out where the problem was.

However, from that day onward, the water dragon tornado never appeared again.

Upon knowing this, Xiahou Shan berated him.

By right, he was the guardian of the Seventh Truth Platform, and Xiahou Shan had no right to reprimand him. But he was guilty, so he let her reprimand him.

Xiahou Shan was also extremely worried. If not, she would never offend Xie Zhanghui no matter what. Even though Xie Zhanghui didn’t seem to be someone important, he was Xie Lianzhen’s confidante, and the queen trusted him a lot too. Normally, she would treat Xie Zhanghui politely – as someone of the same status as herself. But now, the only hint they had just disappeared right in front of her eyes, so how could she not be worried and anxious?

She had already been on this errand for months, and if she didn’t get back soon, her authority would soon be shared with others. On top of that, given how important Xie Lianzhen was to the queen, she would never get to go back without him.

There was nothing else Xiahou Shan could do now except order her men to search around the area or ask for help back at Zhongzhou.

There must have been a reason for the water dragon tornadoes’ appearance. Since she couldn’t find out the reason herself, then she would just get someone of a higher cultivation to help!

Xie Lianzhen was so precious to the queen, so if she couldn’t find him, it wasn’t wrong for her to ask for help. She would rather let the queen reprimand her than lose the chance to save him!

And Xiahou Shan made the right choice; the queen didn’t blame her, but even got an Assimilation Realm over to Beiming.

The Assimilation Realm senior read through their records and went on site for investigation. “The water dragon tornado is man-made. Young Master and that Miss Lu should have been taken away deliberately.”

With an accurate deduction, the team gained more clues. But it was tedious due to the weird tricks that the other party was using. “The other party may have a treasure, that’s why I can’t trace where they are directly, but only find it through clues.”

It was fortunate that at least there was a method though. The time it took couldn’t be helped. However, something caught Xiahou Shan’s attention. “A treasure?”

“Yes.” It was indeed pleasant to have a conversation with smart people. “If we could bring that treasure back, it would be great.”

Of course. How many treasures were there that could kidnap people from afar? Even the Seventh Truth Platform didn’t have many of these.

Xiahou Shan was excited. Getting the young master back, then bringing back a treasure; how big of an achievement would she earn? The queen would even forgive all the mistakes that she might have committed.

“I’ll start the search immediately! Please just voice out any of your requests!”

Right at that moment, Xie Lianzhen tricked the Drug Lord into using the water dragon tornado to get more drug men. The water dragon tornado appeared again, and Xiahou Shan and the rest managed to track it down to the island hidden amidst the Ming River’s mist.

However, when they got there, they saw the explosion, destroying the whole mountain, turning everything inside to ashes.

With much effort, they managed to find a few dead bodies amongst the ruins. When they entered, they saw the Drug Lord’s body, scattered all around the place. No matter how they searched though, they couldn’t find the remains of Lu Mingshu or Xie Lianzhen.

“Young Master!” Xie Zhanghui wailed and felt like cold water was being splashed on him. “No, Young Master must be fine!”

Xiahou Shan pulled up Xie Lianzhen, who was hugging a rock, and said, “There’s no body, so of course Young Master must be fine.”

Hearing her, Xie Zhanghui calmed down for a moment. “Oh yeah, there isn’t a corpse, so where did Young Master go?”

“Sir?” Xiahou Shan could only ask for help from the Assimilation Realm.

The Assimilation Realm stared at the cauldron without any reply. After some time, he looked over to Xiahou Shan. “Emissary Xiahou, what do you think of this treasure?”

But of course, Xiahou Shan would not be in the mood to look at the treasure. What was the use of that when it couldn’t help find Young Master or break through? We were so close to finding him and he’s gone again. Will the queen spare us?

“Sir…”

But the other party insisted, so Xiahou Shan had no choice but to entertain him. However, she was rooted to the ground as soon as she saw what was inside the cauldron.

Steam was everywhere, and the surface reflected a scene.

“This…” Xiahou Shan immediately got it. Does he mean that…?

He nodded. “Bring this back to the queen. I’m sure she’ll understand and will not blame us for not finding him again.”

Xiahou Shan nodded.

On the other hand, Xie Zhanghui was still lost. “What about Young Master? Where is Young Master?”

Only

Xiahou Shan rolled her eyes. “This item has weird runes on it. I suspect that it comes with the function to teleport. Look, the other party self-detonated, but Young Master is nowhere to be seen. He probably somehow activated this treasure.”

“So, you mean that Young Master is alive?”

“Of course!” Xiahou Shan yelled. “He must be!”

Oh, please be alive.

Xie Zhanghui prayed silently. He had been mentally tortured these past few days. As Xie Lianzhen’s most trusted guard, he should have been efficient and found him quickly. But now, not only did he not find Xie Lianzhen, he even watched Lu Mingshu get sucked away as well. Regardless of whether the queen spared him or not, he wouldn’t spare himself if something happened.

“So, what do we do? How are we going to find out where Young Master is?”

“Nothing.” The Assimilation Realm stared at the cauldron. He was just here because the queen paid him, and Xie Lianzhen going missing had nothing to do with him. “Teleporting is a function of this, but I do not know where it might lead. Let’s bring this back to investigate, and maybe we will figure it out.”
