Chapter 22: Wang Dong's Danger
I didn't expect that it happened to be Yan Lun who received this task, but in fact, he was the only one, and the other inner disciples would mostly choose tasks with higher rewards or additional benefits, and this kind of task that was laborious and would not have any big gains was generally put on hold for a long time.
"I know that Wang Dong is your friend, and I wanted to come to look for you, but I heard that you were selected as the candidate for this gold competition, so I didn't want to disturb you, but you unexpectedly received this task, and it seems that the sky is going to let you go."
Zhao Zhen said with emotion.
Wang Dong, as one of Yan Lun's few friends in the world, has been getting along day and night for a year, and has a deep friendship, saying that Yan Lun will go to him, even if Dabi abstains, this is the norm for people.
"I'll go look for him now, and the trouble elder will tell me everything about him and this mission."
Yan Lun said solemnly.
Zhao Zhen gave him a map.
"This is the location and name of the six teenagers who have disappeared in the past year, Wang Dong went to check according to these clues, as for what he found out and what he encountered, I don't know at all, your clues are only these."
Yan Lun frowned, feeling a little clueless, and then left, going to find another person, Jin Guang.
Jin Guang was very excited when he saw Yan Lun.
"Yan Lun, you're back! You're going to save Wang Dong! ”
His first sentence made Yan Lun realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to a quiet place with him and asked him to explain what was going on.
"Hey, I know that I am not capable of this matter, I wanted to find you, but I don't know how to find it, Elder Zhao Zhen's side Wang Dong didn't let me say it, in fact, he didn't even let me say it, but now I haven't seen him come back for so long, I'm really worried..."
Jin Guang clenched his fists, his tone was very anxious, Yan Lun was puzzled and asked him to explain in detail.
It turned out that Wang Dong came back once between going out on a mission, left some things, gave Jin Guang some words, and then left and didn't come back.
"Wang Dong said that he found a very strange thing, he thought that it might involve the secrets of a certain big faction, but he couldn't be completely sure, this matter was more dangerous, he had already started the investigation and didn't want to stop, he said that he wouldn't tell anyone before he came back, if he didn't come back within a month, he would directly report this matter to Elder Zhao Zhen and the sect's high-level officials..."
With that, Jin Guang handed a sheepskin scroll to Yan Lun, who immediately spread out the scroll and examined it carefully.
This is also a map, not very professionally drawn, similar to the map given to him by Zhao Zhen, but a little rough.
"This should be a map drawn by Wang Dong, it seems that he really found something..."
Yan Lun said, then rolled the map up again and put it on his body.
"Jin Guang, leave Wang Dong's affairs to me, don't be distracted, cultivate well, and come to the inner valley as soon as possible."
After bidding farewell to the golden light, Yan Lun went straight out of the Valley of the God of War and rushed to the nearest town on the map, Hancang Town, which is a small town of small scale, and one of the teenagers disappeared here.
Yan Lun did not go directly to the young man's house, but found an inn not far from the house and stayed.
In the room, he re-unfolded the map that Zhao Zhen gave him and the map drawn by Wang Dong, and compared it, Zhao Zhen's map had six markers, representing the location of the six missing teenagers, while Wang Dong's map had only one mark, and it was not in the same place as the six markers on the first map...
Yan Lun was thoughtful, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter should be carefully viewed from the incident itself and Wang Dong's thoughts.
The first thing is the matter, the content is that there are six teenagers missing, if only one or two people are missing, then God of War Valley will never send someone to investigate, because the number of people is too small can only mean that it is a common phenomenon, and there will be countless accidents in this world every day, nothing strange. But the disappearance of six teenagers is absolutely abnormal, and all of them are concentrated within a year.
Yan Lun thinks that there are only three possibilities for this, the first is that these six teenagers were also favored by other sects, and all of them were brought back and accepted under the sect, but in this case, first of all, these six people will not be recognized as missing, after all, the Valley of the God of War only preliminarily thinks that these teenagers have good qualifications, and they have not yet reached the point of direct absorption, even if other sects like them, they can also be taken away generously, and the Valley of the God of War will not stop them, at most they will find others, so the probability of this first possibility is very small.
The second possibility is that all six of these people died unexpectedly and there are no bones, but the probability of this possibility is infinitely close to zero, and it will not be discussed for the time being.
The last possibility is that all six of them were secretly taken away, and they attacked a powerful and well-organized existence, they were able to secretly avoid the secret observation of the Valley of the God of War, and they were obviously aware of the existence of the Valley of the God of War.
Yan Lun prefers the last possibility, if so, the six teenagers may be taken away by an underground organization and secretly cultivated, becoming killers or dead soldiers.
If this is the case, Yan Lun must find out the other party! No matter what strength and background it is, it has been such an extreme and cruel means to turn a living teenager into a cold-blooded walking corpse who only knows how to kill! This kind of behavior will definitely be on the death list in Yan Lun's heart!
Let's think about it from the perspective of Wang Dong's behavior.
First of all, Wang Dong must have found something, but he can't be sure, so he wants to wait for things to be clear before returning to the sect to resume his life.
But Yan Lun can be sure that Wang Dong must have also been discovered by the other party, and the other party can quietly get the six teenagers away under the attention of the God of War Valley, and their ability to hide and act secretly is definitely far above Wang Dong, a fledgling sect disciple, Wang Dong may not know that he has been exposed in the end.
And the marks made by Wang Dong on the map can definitely be related to the origin of the other party.
After a series of before and after, Yan Lun has the goal of the next step, go directly to the place on the map and see what is going on!
Just go, the place on the map is about a day's journey from here, Yan Lun took a day and a half to arrive, and he didn't want to go too fast to attract attention.
It was also a town, but it was very small, like a village, Yan Lun stayed at a post station not far from here, and began to observe secretly, his eyesight and hearing could observe the range of half of the town after he concentrated his mind, although he could not be accurate to every detail, but he could grasp the general information intermittently.
After two days of non-stop observation, Yan Lun came to a conclusion that there was no useful news here!
If so, it either means that there is a problem with Wang Dong's marking, or the other party has left from here.
Wang Dong can hand over this map to Jin Guang and let him hand it over to the top of the sect in the future, naturally it will not be that his mark is wrong, it can only mean that the other party has left.
This also confirmed Yan Lun's previous guess that the other party must have discovered Wang Dong's whereabouts.
