Chapter 497 - 497: 9. No Return, No Matter Who You Are
It wasn’t until a week later that the King of Qi State realized that something was wrong. He asked his personal eunuch to report to the Green Peak Five Sects.
The Green Peak Five Sects were the sects behind the Qi Kingdom.
His father-in-law had spent seven days on the trip back and forth, but the information he brought back was not good.
The sect knew nothing about the disappearance of the state preceptor.
When her father-in-law gave her feedback, Qi Xiu could not help but be dumbfounded.
After that, the entire Qi Country and the five sects of the Green Peak began to search.
However, Bi Fengzi had disappeared.
It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no trace behind.
The Imperial Advisor’s palace remained the same. There were palace guards guarding it day and night, not allowing anyone to enter.
Half a month later, the sect elder Ji Yun who came to investigate arrived.
He stepped on the sword wheel and arrived at the Imperial Palace.
The emperor bowed to meet him.
Ji Yun went directly to the Imperial Advisor’s palace with Tian Zi following behind him. Looking at the young appearance of this sect elder, Qi Xiu was really envious.
This elder must be much older than him, but he was still so young. This was the path to immortality.
In the Imperial Advisor’s palace…
Ji Yun’s eyes swept around and walked a few rounds.
His gaze fell on a book that was open on the long table. He leaned over and pressed his hand on the book.
With a flick of his finger, a strong wind blew, and the book flipped from the beginning to the end.
Ji Yun took back the book and pondered.
This was the sect’s mission.
If Bi Fengzi really had something to do, he wouldn’t have left the scroll open on the table.
Then … It was reasonable to deduce that Bi Fengzi did not go out.
If he didn’t go out, where did he go?
Ji Yun swept his gaze again.
There were no traces of a fight in the palace. Besides the footprints of himself, Tian Zi, and Bi Fengzi, there were no other footprints on the ground.
He released his divine sense again and scanned the surroundings, but he still didn’t sense anything.
One had to know that Elder Ji Yun was now a figure at the 12th level of the Divine Power Realm. Although he did not possess a perception-type divine power, his perception was terrifyingly strong. Even so, he still did not sense anything.
Ji Yun continued to think.
Suppose someone killed Bi Fengzi.
Then, Bi Fengzi was at the peak of the eleventh realm, and his Dharmakaya cultivation was far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if he was covered in injuries, he could recover quickly. Whether he was facing an eleventh realm expert with a stronger Dharmakaya, a twelfth realm Super Power, or a thirteenth realm expert, he would definitely make a move.
As long as he moved, he would leave a mark.
However, there was no trace of it here.
In other words, Bi Fengzi did not fight.
He was…
Disappeared just like that?
He was still reading a book a moment ago, and then he disappeared from the face of the earth?
That was impossible.
Jiyun paced back and forth.
Did Bi Fengzi run away on his own?
This motive was even more wrong.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu hurriedly smiled apologetically.
“Are you dissatisfied with the Five Sects of Green Peak?” Jiyun snorted coldly.
“Immortal, we’re not being disrespectful at all…” Qi Xiu was shocked and hurriedly said.
“The elite disciples of my Green Peak Five Sects disappeared in your palace, so you must give an explanation.”
Do you know how important a disciple who has broken free from the mortal lifespan is to my sect?
They are the future cornerstone of my sect, but they have been destroyed by you for no reason. Tell me, how should we deal with them?”
Qi Xiu suppressed the trembling in her body and hurriedly said, “It’s up to the
Immortal to decide.”
Ji Yun glanced at him and understood that Tian Zi definitely didn’t know, so he said, “Tell me who you met and what you did in the week before the state preceptor disappeared.”
A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
If they really couldn’t find anything, they could only find a few scapegoats. This way, they could temporarily report to the sect master.
Of course, this wasn’t just a report. It was also a warning to the mortal world’s dynasties. If a disciple sent by my sect disappeared in your territory, you would have to bear the responsibility. It didn’t mean that you would be fine just because it had nothing to do with you.
And these scapegoats were just to intimidate them and let the mortal world’s dynasties properly understand their identity and status.
As for the truth, the sect would find out later.
The two of them walked out of the hall as they spoke.
“It’s getting late,” Qi Xiu said.”Why don’t I hold a banquet to welcome the
Immortal?”
“Welcome? No need.’
“It’s like this. During that period of time, the Imperial Preceptor had been thinking of selecting a few concubines or palace maids with spiritual energy from the harem to be alchemy boys.”
“It’s their good fortune to be chosen by my sect.”
“This is only natural…What I mean is that the Imperial Preceptor had almost come into contact with all the concubines and palace maids a week before he disappeared, so I will call them to attend this banquet together. At that time, you can take your time to look at them.”
“That’s good. Let’s arrange it this way.”
Climbing clouds walk in front, and the emperor follows behind.
Suddenly, Ji Yun stopped and looked coldly at a guard beside him. He said indifferently, “Why are you hostile to me?”
Tian Zi also hurriedly turned his head and looked at his personal guard. This guard had been with him for twenty years, accompanying him since he was a teenager, and then helping him kill a bloody path in the Inheritance War, once saving his life.
Tian Zi wanted to speak, but his heart suddenly turned cold and he couldn’t open his mouth.
He couldn’t open his mouth, but the guard did.
“I am Shan Xin. Greetings, Immortal.”
The guard walked forward and looked at Tian Zi. He took a deep breath and straightened his back. Then, he said in a deep voice,”l don’t dare to be hostile to immortals. I just feel that the Son of Heaven, as the monarch of Qi State, has unified the country and ruled the mountains and rivers. How can he lower his head to others and lack spirit? If that’s the case, the country will not be a country .
