107: 106.
Still no news 107: 106.
Still no news Nanfeng Country
The sun was setting in the west, above the Southwind Cliff, an area untarnished by worldly clamor, broken only by sheer bloodshed…
The sky above Southwind Cliff was infused with the remnants of the sunset’s glow, just like the dazzling despair of feathers soaked in blood, unveiling a crystalline despair of beaut…
Atop a mountain on Southwind Cliff, the highest point among the range of mountains, a cold breeze blew, as the peak stood desolate…
At this moment, dozens of people in black surrounded a man in white.
They were all wrapped in clothes, only revealing their eyes as if they feared others discovering their identities…
The dozens of people in black watched the white-clad man in the center vigilantly.
There were countless corpses on the ground, all wearing black.
The white-clad man, however, did not have a single drop of blood on him…
Suddenly, the white-clad man moved.
His movements were as swift as lightning, his white attire effortlessly integrating with the night.
His speed was so fast that it made it impossible to notice him…
In a graceful white garment, he killed with leisurely indifference.
Not revealing any facial expressions, he flicked his hand, and blood splattered all around him…
Immediately, numerous people in black fell one after another…
The remaining people in black momentarily panicked, despite being prepared, they were continuously taken aback by the strength of their opponent…
The remaining black-clothed individuals looked at each other.
All of them saw the intention to retreat in each other’s eyes, but none of them made a move…
The silhouette of the white-clothed man shimmered again, all the people in black dropped, not a single one alive, and no sound was even heard…
The white-clothed man glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, slightly furrowing his brows.
Immediately, a cluster of blue flame flew out, erasing all the corpses on the ground, even the strong smell of blood had gradually faded…
The bloodshed from just a moment ago had turned into a normal scene…
The man in white then disappeared from where he stood…
Nanfeng Country, Nanfeng City
In the most bustling district, there sat a luxurious manor.
Inside, there were small bridges over flowing water, bluestone paths, and the chirping of birds, rendering it as an idyllic paradise…
Mist encompassed the palace, appearing unreal from a distance, just like a heavenly palace in the sky…
The ground paved with white jade, walls piled with jade tiles, golden dragons carved on straight round pillars, the hallway was made of fine redwood, and the curtain manufactured from exquisitely carved jade…
Behind the jade curtain, a man dressed in red lazily reclined on his couch, the picture of easy elegance, his black hair spilling over onto the ground…
His exquisite face was as beautiful as jade, his inky eyes brimming with radiance, his lips slightly tilted, exuding an aura of cold arrogance, all displaying his nonchalant dominance over everyone else…
He was simply lying there, already creating a pressuring atmosphere, gradually thinning the air surrounding him…
Outside the curtain, several men cloaked in black were kneeling with their heads lowered.
Despite their robust bodies, they were slightly trembling under the pressure…
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie…
“My Lord, everything has been settled!” With these words, a man in white suddenly appeared inside the room and respectfully stood beside the man, speaking.
“Were there any clues?” The man in red asked in his languid voice.
“None, all were dead men!
They carried no clues…” The man in white said, sounding somewhat vexed.
“Hmm, not surprising!
If after our investigation, they were not found for so long, the enemies are no ordinary people.
However, I wonder what their purpose is in Lingtian…” The man in red narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously.
“My Lord, what should we do next?” The man in white asked.
“No hurry.
Even if we don’t look for them, they will appear sooner or later!
Unless they don’t want to leave Lingtian!
What about that matter?” The man in red inquired.
“Ahem, My Lord, we still have no news…” The man in white replied rather awkwardly.
“Still no news?
It’s been five years, Guardian Hua, each time you say the same thing.
Should I begin doubting your ability?
Hmm…” The man in red uttered casually.
“My Lord, truly, there is not a single clue!
And all you said was that it’s a woman, you didn’t provide any other specifics!
It would be a lot easier for me to search if you could give me some more clues…” Guardian Hua whined.
Ever since their Lord sequestered himself five years ago, he would bring up the task of finding a woman.
The only clue he gave them was that she was a woman, her appearance unknown, identity unknown, age, background, everything was unknown.
The only clear instruction was the mention of a cave in Demon Beast Forest of Fengyun Country…
As a result, his people had been guarding that cave in the Demon Beast Forest of Fengyun Country for five years, and yet they hadn’t found a single woman, not even a beast…
There were countless women on the Lingtian Continent, how was he supposed to know who their master was looking for…
Whenever their Lord brought up this matter, Guardian Hua would always feel envious of the other Guardians who didn’t have to face their master’s questioning…
“Get out…”
Upon hearing the command, Guardian Hua bowed, then quickly retreated!
The faster, the better to avoid being tortured by his master’s gaze…
Looking at the retreating figure of Guardian Hua, the man in red’s gaze flickered.
He knew that it wasn’t an issue with his subordinates’ abilities.
He himself had searched through various countries of Lingtian over these five years, but found no traces…
If it wasn’t for the small amount of his aura that leaked out five years ago, informing him that that woman was still alive, he would not have been certain of her existence…
Actually, he was not quite sure why he had to find that woman.
Perhaps because his first time was forcefully taken by a woman, making him feel humiliated…
Or perhaps it’s because the leakage of his aura was a threat to him.
But what frustrated him was that he could only detect his aura still on the Lingtian Continent, but couldn’t sense its direction…
The strangest thing was that sometimes his aura would disappear without a trace, as if it had dispersed and vanished from the world…
There was a period of time when the aura completely vanished.
Just when he thought that it had dispersed due to the passage of time, it suddenly reappeared.
Moreover, the aura seemed to have grown stronger, which was the thing that confused him the most…
Could it be that the aura leaked from his body has gained a spiritual intelligence and been cultivating itself?
Due to his special status, even the leakage of a slight aura was a serious issue, that’s why he had instructed Guardian Hua to keep looking for the woman throughout these years…
Unfortunately, he only saw a glimpse of the woman’s silhouette back then, he didn’t even get a good look at her face.
In these few years, not to mention Guardian Hua and the other subordinates, even he himself, who was chasing the aura, found nothing…
