Chapter 207 - The Missing Team Members (2/2)
Yi Qing and Lan Hua both exchanged glances. Then they nodded and flew off in the direction of their sect.
They flew at maximum speed towards Invincible Sect. Once there, they found that not only Chu Xuan, but Little Shortie and Xuan Tong were also missing. They had vanished in the same way, but one day after Chu Xuan.
Lan Hua and Yi Qing searched everywhere but could not find any clues as to what happened. None of the their tracking talismans could trace their locations, even Lonemoon’s message talisman did not respond.
At first, they had thought of contacting Xun Shu for help, but they received a reply from the city that Xun Shu had also disappeared.
“Sect master, a demon immortal by the name of Little Biao asks to speak to you!”
“Little Biao?” Lan Hua repeated. What kind of stupid name was that?
“Let him in.” Shen Ying nodded.
Moments later, Emperor Biao Ting rushed in excitedly. His eyes brightened when he saw Shen Ying, but his legs reflexively gave way. Falling into a heap at her feet, he said imploringly, “Exalted Goddess! Please save Little Bird!”
“What happened to Bird?”
“I don’t know exactly.” Biao Ting answered, an anxious expression on his face. Probably because of living under the constant fear of being eaten (by Shen Ying), he and Wu Hong had developed a bond forged from mutual sympathy. “A few days ago, we went to the Shu Sea to look for immortal herb seeds for you. Then he suddenly disappeared. I searched for many days but could find no trace of him.”
“Was there a white glow on his body when he disappeared?” Yi Qing asked.
“How did you know!” Biao Ting asked in surprise.
Another one.
“Who did this?” Lan Hua scratched his head in frustration. “This is the fourth person who’s disappeared.”
“The fifth!” Shen Ying corrected.
“What?”
“Radish has disappeared too.”
That’s right. Brother Radish too! Lan Hua’s anxiety deepened. The radish had been sleeping on Lonemoon’s leg when they both disappeared.
Wait a moment!
“Radish…
There was a gleam in Lan Hua’s eyes as an idea struck him. “Good Heart, I have a way to find them. But it’s a bit troublesome and we can only rescue Lonemoon. The rest of them… We’ll have to think of some other way.”
“What way?”
“Heart Entrapping Array!”
“What’s that?” Yi Qing asked.
“It’s a entrapping array.” Lan Hua explained. “It traps the victim inside the array, then causes him to be slowly eroded by demonic Qi. Once this array is activated, it will be able to entrap its target as long as he is within the immortal realm.”
“You’re thinking of using this array to locate him!”
“That’s right! Lan Hua nodded. “However, for this array to work, we need something from the victim’s body.”
Body…
Shen Ying’s mouth twitched as she remembered the dandelions that the radish had given her as a present.
“Radish is attached to Lonemoon’s leg, their auras are interlinked. So once Radish is entrapped, Lonemoon would also be pulled into the array.” Lan Hua continued, “Although he will be affected by the demonic Qi, he should be strong enough to withstand it.”
“All right, let’s do this!” Shen Ying went to search for the dandelions.
We have to find Father Niu first to solve the problem of food!
