C49 (1/2)
Liu Ruyan lowered her gaze, glanced at Sun Daoming, then shifted her gaze to Yu Yuhan, who was walking out of the room. She nodded slightly.
Faintly sensing that there was something between the two of them that they were hiding from everyone, Jiang Shuo looked curiously at Yu Han. In Yu Yuhan's hands, he was holding three bamboo tubes, and he didn't know what they were used for.
Yu Yuhan walked to the front of the group and held onto the bamboo tube in her hand, showing it to everyone. ”There are three Frigid Butterflies from the High Plateau. Just now, Miss Liu had used the Golden Calamity Lamp on the black-clothed man. With the help of the three cold butterflies, we were able to track him. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shuo was suddenly enlightened. ”Miss Liu, so you purposely let him go?”
”That's right.” Liu Ruyan nodded, ”If we force him too much, there's no guarantee that he won't commit suicide like he did before. At that time, we will not get any news, so we might as well take a long line to catch some big fish and find out their lair. ”
”No wonder he was able to sneak into Dreamland Tower so easily. So it was Lady Liu who let him in on purpose.” It seemed like Liu Ruyan and Yu Han knew that the killer would come to kill them, so they had already decided on a plan. They kept Sun Daoming and himself in the dark, afraid that they would expose themselves.
Although Yu Han had prepared many defensive measures in advance, the degree of danger he was taking was unpredictable. Jiang Shuo looked deeply at Yu Yuhan and couldn't help but admire her courage.
”Yes.” Liu Ruyan responded and took the tube from Yu Yuhan. She said to the crowd, ”Yulin City has a mix of dragons and snakes, and it will inevitably have an impact. If the enemy runs too far away, not even the Frigid Butterfly at high altitude will be able to track him. ”There's no time to lose, let's split up into three groups and each of us will chase after the other one with a Frigid Butterfly from the plateau.”
Under Liu Ruyan's distribution, Sun Daoming and Jiang Shuo traveled together. Along her way, an outstanding disciple led dozens of people.
”Remember, the black clothed man is definitely related to the culprit. No matter where you run, that place will always be a lagoon or a tiger's cave. When you discover something, come back and notify me immediately. Do not be rash. ” Liu Ruyan reminded.
Jiang Shuo nodded his head in understanding. After all, through all the previous events, whether it was the murderer or his companions, they all had very high martial arts skills, and were all unrivalled existences. He took the bamboo tube that Liu Ruyan passed to him and removed the stopper to look at it. There was a gorgeous butterfly resting on a dead branch. It seemed to be asleep and didn't move at all.
”When I smell the aroma of the Aged Gold Cane, it will naturally fly out. As long as I get near where the black clothed man is, I will definitely be able to find it.” Yu Yuhan reminded.
Jiang Shuo kept it in his heart and realized that Yu Han was standing right where she was, not showing any signs of leaving with the others. He immediately asked curiously, ”Yu Han, aren't you going?”
Yu Yuhan shook her head, ”At most six hours, I'll be able to find out what kind of poison is in the corpse. ”There are only a few big sects in Yulin that have knockout drugs with such effects. As long as you can find out the type of knockout drugs, you will have evidence to prove that the culprit was from one of those big sects.”
Upon hearing these words, Liu Ruyan ordered, ”Green Willow, you stay behind to protect Lady Wu Yu.” The enemy already knew where the secret location of Dream Red Chamber was. It was impossible to guarantee that they would not return.
”Yes.” A beautiful woman stood out from the crowd and answered.
After the distribution was completed, everyone set off in three different directions, with Dream Red Tower at the center.
Jiang Shuo, Sun Daoming, and a team of Dream Red Tower disciples were advancing towards the center of Yulin City. The magistrate court and the Hundred Flowers Sect were all in that direction. The ordinary residents were the majority while the Martial Arts Sect was the minority. It was likely that Liu Ruyan had deliberately done so after considering the two's martial arts skills. Sun Daoming's shoulder was dislocated, but after going through treatment, it no longer affected him much.
As for Liu Ruyan, who was the most powerful out of the three paths, she was on her way to the east. Firstly, that was the direction the black-clothed man had fled in. Secondly, that was where the Raging Blade Sect's actions were suspicious.
”Damn it, this place is destined to have no gains. I still want to use this clue to find the murderer's lair.” Along the way, Sun Daoming kept on complaining, expressing his frustration and anger at the fact that the man in black had injured Yu Han. Just now, in order to show his concern for Yu Yuhan, he had even patted his chest and promised that he would definitely catch the culprit.
How could Jiang Shuo not know that he was putting on an act to prove his admiration for Yu Han?
Jiang Shuo felt that he was acting in a very childish way, giving him an indifferent glance, and then focusing all his attention on the search.
Even with the help of the Frigid Butterfly, Yulin City was much too big compared to the ten of them. In order to avoid any loopholes, they had to conduct a carpet search. However, there was only one Frigid Butterfly in the highlands, which undoubtedly made it harder to search for her.
Ten people searched for two hours. Jiang Shuo looked at the bamboo tube every few steps, but there was no response from the Frigid Butterfly at the plateau. Jiang Shuo even suspected that it was dead.
The probability of finding something in this direction was low, and after so long of fruitless searching, Jiang Shuo could not help but feel discouraged.
”The Hundred Flowers Sect is right in front of us, we've already made a huge detour and came back. It's very possible that the black-clothed person didn't even come over here.” Sun Daoming resentfully said, ”Let's go, let's go back to Dream Red Chamber. It's very likely that others have already noticed us.”
After saying that, he impatiently turned around and was about to head back.
The disciples of Dream Red Chamber looked at each other. Most of them still preferred to go back. Finally, someone came forward and said, ”Young Master Jiang, we've circled around the place and haven't seen any movement along the way. It shouldn't be here.”
Jiang Shuo frowned as he thought about it, thinking that staying would be a waste of time, so he nodded and went back with the team.
