Chapter 518: The Search (2/2)

”Mingxian, let's go back. We'll wait until Big Brother is here. Believe in Big Brother. He will definitely… definitely avenge the two Junior Brothers.”

—

Ouyang Shang arrived at Ghost Weeping Forest one day later.

There were not many who came with him, only w.a.n.g Wu and w.a.n.g Lu. For a work with such a high degree of risk, there was no need to bring in many people. Even the arrival of w.a.n.g Wu had already caused a lot of criticism.

”Big Brother, it's not that I don't trust your judgment, but… wouldn't it be too risky to let Junior Sister w.a.n.g Wu partic.i.p.ate in this? Previously, I've already experienced the death of Junior Brother Shen Yiwen, so now, I really have no confidence to protect her.”

In regard to Liu Xian's doubt, Ouyang Shang merely said, ”It doesn't matter, Junior Sister w.a.n.g Wu will take care of herself. Moreover, she also has the strongest bodyguard, so there's no need to worry about her.”

During which, w.a.n.g Lu waved at Liu Xian and the others. ”h.e.l.lo everyone, I am the strongest bodyguard.”

Regarding w.a.n.g Lu's background, Ouyang Shang still used the old cover: he was the product of the old man Sect Leader enjoying his life.

Considering the fact that in many aspects, w.a.n.g Lu and Ouyang Shang were indeed identical, Liu Xian and the others also accepted this reality after a brief surprise. What was more, w.a.n.g Lu's background was not important. The important thing was his strength.

The next step to do was how to carry out further action under the leaders.h.i.+p of Ouyang Shang.

The revenge-minded Xie Mingxian suggested that Big Brother should lead the team immediately to go deep into Ghost Weeping Forest. However, Ouyang Shang had another idea.

”The other party wanted me to come, and now I'm here. So, it should not be long before the other party to take the initiative to carry out the next step... So we might as well wait and see. Of course, during this time, we must raise our vigilance and never leave an opportunity for the other party.”

And then he began to explain things that needed attention. When Ouyang Shang seriously pondered, his thinking was far more meticulous than ordinary person. After arranging his instructions, Liu Xian and the others were gradually comforted and gained back their confidence.

As for w.a.n.g Lu, he began to ask other people about the details of the event.

”The so-called disappear in the blink of an eye is obviously impossible. At that time, there were so many people that followed behind on his heels that even if one or two turned their eyes, not everyone turned their eyes all at once, and moreover, regardless of what, you can't find any clue. This is mostly because the other side covered up the tracks using illusion. Have you investigated the scene based on this?”

Xie Mingxian said, ”Of course we have, but there's no trace of illusion left.”

”Really? Then your investigation method is probably not right. I will go there later.”

Xie Mingxian immediately wrinkled his brows. At that time, the person in charge of the on-site investigation was him. At the same time, according to the fact that he was the only cultivator in the team who was good at tracking and reverse tracking, the investigation also had to belong to him, and Xie Mingxian had full confidence in his findings.

If those questions were asked by his Big Brother Ouyang Shang, perhaps he would accept it with humility. But what kind of thing was w.a.n.g Lu, this mysterious person?

But then, less than an hour later, Xie Mingxian embarra.s.sedly looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y fog that w.a.n.g Lu had gathered.

That was Shen Yiwen's spirit pet, fog monster… It lingered in the area where its master disappeared. It was just that, previously, under Xie Mingxian's investigation, even after a long time, they never found the existence of the fog monster.

This was certainly not because the fog monster had an innate camouflage ability, but the illusion effect placed by the culprit. Xie Mingxian was basically exploring illusion inside an illusion. Naturally, he could not find any result.

But when it came to w.a.n.g Lu, he merely took out his strange red jade pendant, illuminated the forest with it, and then spat out a strange syllable. Thereupon, the fog monster appeared before everyone, and the air was also filled with putrid stench and b.l.o.o.d.y smell.

It turned out that it was only this time that the illusion in the forest was truly broken! Everything that was concealed was thus revealed.

”This is an illusion method unique to demon race. It could not be directly cracked by the current level of illusion breaking technique in the Nine Regions.”

Xie Mingxian could not help but wonder. ”Then how did you do that?”

”Of course I was taught by a very able person.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, and then could not help but think of all sorts of inconceivable methods personally instructed by Elder Lu Li some time ago in Spirit Sword Sect… which included the method to crack this illusion. Of course, the method taught by Elder Lu Li was very c.u.mbersome. Now that he had in him the demon jade, he could just take the shortcut.

However, if Lu Li did not point out the principle of the illusion to him, he would not be able to find the right way even if he held the demon jade.

”Well then, let's listen to what this fog monster has to say.”

As the survivor that wandered at the same place, the fog monster was likely to witness the whole process of Shen Yiwen's mysterious disappearance, which was an important clue. However, the fog monster lacked the intelligence and it has always been difficult to communicate with it. As a spirit pet, it was more commonly used as a tool. Even if it witnessed the entire process and memorized it mechanically, there was still the problem of how to extract this memory.

”What problem? Haven't you all golden generation been taught the soul-searching technique?”

With that, w.a.n.g Lu's palm bloomed with green light, and then the soul-searching technique was unceremoniously launched at the fog monster.

The blood fog burst out an unprecedented scream. Suddenly, the face of many people changed, showing their displeasure.

”What the h.e.l.l are you doing?”

”That's a precious heritage of Junior Brother Shen Yiwen! When he is still alive, he loved this fog monster the most, but you actually…”

w.a.n.g Lu lightly said, ”He's dead already, who cares what he liked when he was alive? Have you all lost your mind? This is the most direct clue to avenge Shen Yiwen! Don't tell me it's not good to let this spirit pet to die in his place?”

With that, ignoring the eyes of other people, he proceeded with the soul-searching technique and then transferred the resulting information on the nearby disk that was prepared in advance by Ouyang Shang.
