Chapter 306: Secret Investigation
After lingering with Su Yanrui for a month, Yang Yi came to the Qijian Immortal City of the Eastern Qi Continent according to the plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info easily entered the huge stone sword in the center of the immortal city, and he saw the golden robe performing the sword cultivation in the stone room.
"It's only been one hundred and fifty or sixty years since you became a god, and your cultivation speed is not slow even compared to the most talented sword cultivator in our sect."
"The seniors have won the prize. I wonder if the seniors can tell the juniors now? ā
"My name is Yang Tianyu. You're here ready to do something for my Heavenly Sword Sect? ā
"The younger generation does have this intention."
"With your current cultivation strength, there really isn't much you can do. I'll see what works for you. Yang Tianyu took out a jade slip and looked at it. After a while, he said, "The Sword Sect, which is located in the west of the Dongqi Continent, has a disciple who has been disappearing inexplicably recently. You go to the Sword Sect and help them find out the reason for the disappearance of their disciple and find the culprit behind the scenes. ā
"Senior Yang, do the sects on the Dongqi Continent often attack each other?"
"Not really. It's just that the Demon Gate monks of the West Curtain Continent often come to our continent to make trouble and provoke. ā
"Thank you seniors, juniors understand."
Located in the Thousand Broken Mountains near the West Sea, the Sword Sect is a sect founded by a monk of the Heavenly Sword Sect. In the early days of the Sword Sect, it was also very strong, and there were as many as seven Divine Sword cultivators in the sect. It's just that with the passage of time, the harassment of the demon cultivators of the West Curtain Continent has gradually weakened. Now in the Sword Sect, there is only one sword cultivator who has changed his mind for the first time. Yang Yi came to the Thousand Broken Mountain Range, took out the sword talisman given by Yang Tianyu, and easily entered the sect of the Sword Sect.
"It turned out that the envoy was coming, and Shen Guangdu was far away." Not long after Yang Yi entered the mountain gate, the sect master of the Sword Sect came out with more than a dozen gathered monks to greet Yang Yi.
"It doesn't matter."
"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask Elder Yan Xianmian to ask for it." Shen Guangdu said as he took Yang Yi into the Great Hall of the Sword Sect.
"In Xia Yang Yi, I have seen Yan Daoyou." In a few moments, a sword-eyed first-transformation monk entered the main hall. After Yang Yi saw it, he clenched his fists and said.
"It turned out to be Yang Daoyou, and I was fortunate to meet it. Yang Daoyou is here, but to solve the inexplicable disappearance of my sect's disciple? ā
"Entrusted by the predecessors of Xiayang, it is for this matter that I came."
"I've seen Senior Yang once since I achieved enlightenment, and I haven't seen him for a hundred years now. I don't know how senior Yang is doing lately? ā
"Senior Yang is all right." Yang Yi replied to Yan Xianmian and cut straight to the point, "Yan Daoyou, can you tell me in detail about the disappearance of your sect's disciples?" ā
"Eight months ago, there were disciples in our sect who disappeared from time to time. Since the number of missing disciples was extremely small, and they were all spiritual cultivators, the sect did not care about this matter. After all, when a disciple goes out to practice, how can he not encounter some dangers. No one expected that after two months, the number of missing disciples in the sect began to increase. Among them, there are not only enlightened disciples, but also many gathering elders. At that time, Senior Shen's nephew sent more than a dozen Juxing elders to investigate the matter. Unfortunately, no matter how these elders investigated, they couldn't find a single missing disciple. ā
"Originally, more than a dozen elders couldn't find out, so that's it." Yan Xianmian said this, sighing, "But when they were investigating outside, they also lost their traces. I wanted to go out and investigate this matter personally, but I was afraid that the sect would be unguarded and unable to resist the demonic monks who often attacked. So in desperation, he had to report the matter to the Heavenly Sword Sect. ā
"Yan Daoyou, how many disciples of your sect have disappeared?"
"There are more than a hundred Enlightenment Disciples, and there are twenty-one Gathering Elders."
"After the disappearance of these disciples and elders, how many of the identity jade plates they left in the sect were broken?"
"There are more than twenty Shattered Disciples of the Enlightenment, and three Broken Elders of the Gathering Form."
"How long after they disappeared, the identity jade plate began to shatter?"
"Not necessarily. Some people have been missing for more than a hundred days, and their identity jade plates have not been shattered. Some are missing for three days and then they will shatter. Although the time for their identity jade plates to be broken after their disappearance varies, there will always be one of these jade plates broken every ten days and half a month. ā
"Did your sect find the body of the missing disciple after he fell?"
"Not a single one has been found yet."
"Where did the main disciple of your sect disappear?"
"In the territory of the Yuanyuan Dynasty under the rule of my sect, there are two spirit stone veins and one gold crystal vein. The missing disciples are concentrated in these three places. ā
"In that case, let's take a look at these three places first."
"Yang Daoyou, do you want my sect disciples to accompany you?"
"No need, I'll just go alone."
Yang Yi's first stop was the Jinjing vein on Longshi Mountain, located in the southwest of the Yuanyuan Dynasty. Originally, there were more than a hundred Enlightenment Disciples stationed here from the Sword Sect, and there were six Gathering Elders. Since the disappearance, there have been less than seventy Enlightenment disciples here, and there are only three Gathering Elders left. Yang Yi didn't intend to let the elders stationed in the veins know of his arrival, so he chose to sneak in. With Yang Yi's secret technique "Hidden Wind Sneaking", which has now reached the fourth layer, it can have a strong shielding effect on the divine consciousness and vision of the First Heaven Cultivator, not to mention the Spiritual Gathering Cultivator. Yang Yi estimated that even if the Gathering Nine Turns Monk was in front of him, it would be difficult to discover his existence.
The number of people stationed in the veins of the Sword Sect has decreased, and their mining of gold crystal ore has also become relatively small. However, their vigilance was stronger than before, and the disciples and elders were traveling on patrols or inspecting ore veins for mining. There are more than a dozen people walking together, and absolutely no one dares to be alone. Yang Yi spent three days walking through all the places in the vein, and did not find the slightest clue. The disciples and elders in the vein were also extremely normal, and none of them showed anything special.
Yang Yi, who did not gain the slightest, quietly left the vein again. Two days later, he came to the vein station in a bright light to meet with the head of the vein.
"When and where did your three Gathering Elders disappear? Were there any other monks with them when they disappeared? After Yang Yi exchanged pleasantries with the head of the ore vein, he asked directly.
"Returning to the envoy, an elder disappeared five months ago when he was inspecting the ore veins with nine Enlightenment disciples. Of the nine Enlightenment disciples who traveled with him, none of them were missing. The two elders disappeared three months ago when they explored the veins in the third layer of the basement. By their side, there were no other disciples with them. ā
"Have you ever asked the nine Enlightenment disciples how the elder who led them on their tour disappeared?"
"We asked at the time, but they couldn't come up with a reason. Some disciples said that the elder who led them on the tour disappeared when he came to the east side of the vein. Some disciples also said that the elder disappeared when he returned to the main cabinet. ā
"When they disappeared, or in the place where they disappeared, did you sense any traces of the fighting technique?"
"None of them."
"Is the missing Enlightenment Disciple the same as when the Elder disappeared, even if someone is with them, there is no way to know how they disappeared?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, I got it." Yang Yi rubbed his eyebrows and said a little helplessly, "You continue to hold on to the ore vein, and I'll go to other places to take a look." ā
Yang Yi left the Jinjing vein and came to the spirit stone vein in the northeast of the Yuyuan Dynasty. He still didn't inform the elders stationed at the vein, and continued to infiltrate the vein station. This time, Yang Yi stayed quietly in the entire spirit stone vein for two months, in addition to checking the entire vein, he also wanted to see if he could happen to meet the monk missing. It's a pity that not a single monk has disappeared during the month that he has been here.
Yang Yi didn't bother to meet with the head of the vein, and went directly to the next spiritual ore vein. He also latent veins for two months, with the same results as last time. No clues were obtained, and no monks were found missing.
"How about the envoy, do you have any eyebrows?" Yang Yi returned to the Sword Sect, and Shen Guangdu received him.
"There are no eyebrows." Yang Yi said dejectedly, "In the more than four months since I left, have any Demon Sect monks come to your sect to provoke?" ā
"Not ever."
"Are there any monks missing from the three veins?"
"Elders of Juxing are not missing, and there are more than twenty disciples missing."
"It's weird. When I searched the veins, none of the monks were missing. As soon as I left, a monk disappeared. Could it be that the Demon Dao monk who quietly hijacked the disciples of your sect was able to detect my whereabouts? Yang Yi thought for a while and said.
"The secret method of the Demon Gate Monk is strange and changeable, and it is not surprising to be able to do this."
"If that's the case, it's going to be a bit harder. Forget it, I'll continue to explore the three veins. Yang Yi said a little helplessly.
"Senior Brother in charge, the Demon Dao Monk has once again attacked my sect's mountain gate." When Yang Yi finished speaking and was about to leave, a Gathering Elder broke in and said to Shen Guangdu.
"Is there a monk who is here?" Shen Guangdu hurriedly asked.
"There are two monks and eight monks in the form of conjugation."
"Order all peaks to open a large mountain protection array and prepare to meet the enemy."
