Chapter 960: Su Ruoxue Missing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Five days, for five entire days!

The Wu Clan’s four regions, Yi Clan’s four regions, Ye Clan’s four regions, and the ancient aristocratic clan’s three regions. Tens of thousands of major and minor clans, an army of hundreds of millions of soldiers, countless secret guards, scouts, and hundreds of cities. They had all searched the entire northern part of the continent for five days and were still unable to find any information on Jiang Yi.

Once the news traveled out, the entire East Imperial Continent was in a commotion!

So many people and the entire force of the North Thearch’s Wu Clan weren’t able to find a single person? Even a rat would have been found and if the Wu Clan were searching through their own territory, not even a Demigod would have been able to hide from them, right?

Unfortunately, there was no information on Jiang Yi, and this had caused an uproar in the entire continent. When the news of Jiang Yi disguising as Bai Yi and sneaking into the Buddha Castle had been made known, the East Imperial Continent had flared up even more. Countless people were all trying to guess what kind of mysterious secret technique it was. It could actually alter the soul spirit aura presence? Jiang Yi already had Heaven Evasion, and with the addition of this remarkable secret technique, not even a god could find him.

The information of Jiang Yi disguising into Bai Yi and having this strange ability was actually secretly leaked out by the Wu Clan. Of course, it was to redeem some reputation for the Wu Clan as it was truly a humiliating matter for the Wu Clan to be unable to find a single person.

Inside North Thearch City, Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu had returned to Wu Castle. When Wu Ni returned, he had immediately gone to the clan’s elder hall and reported to the North King and the clan’s elders, explaining everything in detail. He then took the initiative to bear the responsibilities and request for the clan’s punishment.

Wu Ni’s every move had obtained the Wu Clan’s elders praises, and North King didn’t say anything either. He simply asked Wu Ni to return and have a good rest and to cultivate. After Wu Ni returned to his Yi Castle, he received very unfavorable news!

“Su Ruoxue is missing? Tu Lao, are you certain you didn’t get it wrong? How can a live person just go missing like this? Are the people in Quiet Peace Temple doing nothing?”

He glared at Tu Lao and roared with rage. He didn’t mention Su Ruoxue back at the elder hall and returned to Yi Castle with high spirits as he wanted to discuss a plot with Ji Tingyu. They wanted to see how they were going to make use of Su Ruoxue to make a plan and ambush Jiang Yi. He didn’t expect for Tu Lao to report that... Su Ruoxue was missing.

Ji Tingyu was also stunned. Before she and Wu Ni set off for the Purgatory Ruin, she had personally gone to see Su Ruoxue at Quiet Peace Temple. Moreover, she had instructed the men at Quiet Peace Temple that nothing must happen to Su Ruoxue. Otherwise, they were all going to be executed.

Su Ruoxue’s strength wasn’t high and was only at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm. There was an inner courtyard in Quiet Peace Temple, and Ji Tingyu had sent men to construct a powerful restriction in the inner courtyard. With Su Ruoxue’s strength, it was definitely impossible for her to escape. Furthermore, the Quiet Peace Temple was being guarded by a group of monks and the Wu Clan’s secret guards. There were more than ten individuals whose strength had reached the Heaven Monarch Realm, and one of them was even a high-stage Heaven Monarch. Quiet Peace City was just nearby North Thearch City, and no one would dare to act recklessly at a peaceful monastery.

Only Ji Tingyu knew about Su Ruoxue’s identity, and she didn’t tell anyone, not even the Wu Clan’s members. She was Ji Tingyu’s trump card as Ji Tingyu knew that Jiang Yi would come to the East Imperial Continent sooner or later. Su Ruoxue was her life-saving card. However, Ji Tingyu didn’t expect this trump card to suddenly vanish without a trace.

Hoo-Hoo!

Ji Tingyu let out a long breath and forced herself to calm down before she looked at Wu Ni and said, “Young Master, don’t be anxious. Let us go to Quiet Peace Temple to take a look. With Su Ruoxue’s strength, it is impossible for her to escape. Jiang Yi isn’t a god, and he couldn’t have known that Su Ruoxue was in Quiet Peace Temple!”

“Go!”

Wu Ni rushed outside with rage while Ji Tingyu, Tu Lao, and the others followed quickly. A group of people took the teleportation array and arrived at the nearby Quiet Peace City.

The Quiet Peace City was a medium-sized city, and the city had imposed martial law. The streets were filled with soldiers, and there weren’t any pedestrians. When Wu Ni and his group arrived, it had alerted the Quiet Peace City Lord; and a group of experts rapidly approached from the city lord mansion.

“Young Master, get them to return and don’t make a huge commotion.” Ji Tingyu took a scan and transmitted a message to Wu Ni. The latter understood as well and quickly transmitted a message to the Quiet Peace City Lord and led Ji Tingyu and his group straight for Quiet Peace Temple on the west side of the city.

Quiet Peace Temple was rather famous in Quiet Peace City, and the city had gotten the name because of this temple. A well-known individual appeared in this city, Abbot Jing An¹. He was a Buddhism absolute expert and his strength had reached the peak stage of Demigod Realm, and he was revered by that generation’s North Thearch. Afterward, the Quiet Peace Temple didn’t produce any more experts and had been gradually infiltrated by the Wu Clan, turning it into a concealed stronghold.

Everyone’s strength was rather competent, and they only took 15 minutes to arrive at Quiet Peace Temple. The monks in the temple were all under Tu Lao’s men control, and after Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni personally investigated the inner courtyard, they returned to the front courtyard. Wu Ni immediately slapped the abbot of the Quiet Peace Temple and sent him flying. He then said sternly, “A bunch of rubbish. If you can’t even monitor a single person, what use do you have?”

Plop!

A group of monks had knelt down with terror. These were all fake monks, and they were Wu Clan’s slaves. Seeing how Wu Ni was so furious, they were naturally terrified.

Ji Tingyu spoke with a solemn tone, “Jing Xin, when did Su Ruoxue go missing?”

“Report to Young Lady!”

The abbot crawled back up with fear and replied, “Young Lady had instructed us to look after her carefully, and we naturally didn’t dare to slack. Hence, we will go check on her every ten days and send some energy elixirs to her. During normal days, the inner courtyard would be guarded day and night. If there were any waves from the restriction or an expert trying to barge in, we will all be alerted. But this was the strange thing. No one had entered the inner courtyard, and the restriction is completely unscathed. That person who was inside was very weak, and it was impossible for her to break the restriction and escape.

“Twenty days ago, when our men went in to check, they noticed that that woman had actually vanished without a trace. Once she went missing, we immediately sent men to investigate everywhere but didn’t receive any information. I have even reported to the clan’s intelligence hall and immediately conducted a search within the million-mile radius, and there was still no news. The person was just like the air and had vanished without a trace. Young Lady... do you think she has immolated herself?”

Bang!

Wu Ni kicked ruthlessly, sent the abbot flying out of the main hall, and even caused the abbot’s chest to cave in. He then yelled with rage, “There aren’t any remains in the inner courtyard, not even ashes. Try immolating yourself and see if you will leave any traces?”

“It isn’t self-immolation. Su Ruoxue might look weak but has a very strong character. She will not seek death so easily until she was truly desperate.”

Ji Tingyu’s eyes flickered. This abbot shouldn’t be lying, and this incident happened more than twenty days ago. Thus, it was impossible for Jiang Yi to rescue Su Ruoxue. Otherwise, why did Jiang Yi even intercept Wu Ni’s Heaven Fate Ship? Why did he even attack Flood Martial city?

Her beautiful eyes looked around before she asked after a moment later, “Who came to the temple more than twenty days ago? Bring all the information on the list of visitors here.”

Quiet Peace Temple was famous, and worshippers often came to pray. This foothold was a perfect place to make use of the worshippers to pay attention to the surrounding commotion and gather information. The abbot quickly got up and brought over the list. Every one of the worshippers was recorded, and there were even portraits of them.

Ji Tingyu flipped through the information carefully. After one hour, she lifted her head and sighed deeply. “This is going to be troublesome. If I didn’t guess it wrongly, Su Ruoxue must have some special traits and had been taken away by a concealed great sect.”

Wu Ni’s straight brows lifted as he spoke coldly, “How audacious!? Which sect? Who would dare to take our Wu Clan’s people away? Are they not afraid their sect might be extinguished?”

“They are naturally not afraid!”

Ji Tingyu smiled bitterly and sighed. “This concealed great sect isn’t afraid of the Wu Clan. Not even your Grandfather would dare to provoke them unless necessary.”

Wu Ni’s eyes withdrew as he exclaimed, “Could it be the Heaven Hidden Sect?”
