Chapter 49.2 The Missing Soul (2)
The family heads of the aristocratic families could look through the records so naturally the leaders of the sect could do so as well. Qin Zhao heard this and knit his brows, nodding. Wen Renyi and He Zhou exchanged a glance. āWas Sect Leader Zhan looking for us because of the matter of the Sealed War?ā
Zhang Yinfeng sighed. āThe cultivators who had gone rogue and appearing everywhere in the country have been putting citizensā lives in danger. When the Li Family aided the special department and conducted research into this matter, they discovered a drug inside their bodies. This drug could stimulate a personās vitality to their limits, allowing their cultivation to soar quickly in an instant, however, the duration of effects it had varied from person to person. Moreover, this drug is only a semi-finished product. I felt it important to notify you of this matter.ā
The three people nodded.
āOriginally, the Sealed War occurred because a dark force had suddenly appeared in this world, attempting to seize its vitality. Now that the opportunity has presented itself again, we have to be on guard.ā Zhang Yinfengās gaze fell on the necklace on He Zhouās neck and with a kind face, he voiced. āThe demonic head is still sealed but he still holds tremendous power. I believe that if weāre unable to unite in time, it would be too late.ā
āAre you saying that the vitality of the cultivators who had gone rogue area are also within the demonic headās plans?ā Qin Zhao suddenly became alarmed. āAlthough sealed and unable to take the worldās vitality right now, he can still exploit people?ā
He Zhou nodded. āIndeed so.ā
He previously mentioned that the demonic sectās life force was extremely strong, possessing countless ways to expand his strength.
Qin Zhaoās face gradually turned solemn. āSect Leader Zhang. Are you propositioning that we three sects should combine forces and unite to resist against the demonic head?ā
Zhang Yinfeng shook his head. āItās not only us, itās all of us.ā He stared at the calm river with a faraway look.ā During the Sealed War that happened in the past, several lives were sacrificed. Now that Guwu has started to rise again, I fear that it would receive another attack.
āThen why did Sect Leader Zhang only call over me and Sect Leader Qin?ā Wen Renyi suddenly asked.
Zhang Yinfeng smiled. āI was just asked by the special department team to do so. They probably assumed that since weāre all from the Jianghu, it would be easier for me to discuss these matters with you. Moreover, one of you is in the Demonic sect while the other is from the Zheng Mo Sect, so only an old man like would be courageous enough to dare speak such matters to you.ā
āSect Leader Zhang exaggerates.ā
Zhang Yinfeng chuckled brightly while stroking his beard. āThe special department attaches a lot of importance to this matter. They even tried contacting other countries to formulate a case on holding off against the demonic head. Only, there seems to have been a spy amidst our group.ā
The cabin turned silent for a while before He Zhou spoke up. āIn Puli City of Rose Country, we discovered an underground work which we suspect to be their lair. Moreover, Gars Bruch, a vampire that doesnāt fear sunlight, also belongs to their side.ā
āWhat about the others?ā Qin Zhao couldnāt refrain from asking. Since he also went to the tournament, he naturally knew who Gars was.
He Zhou plastered on a small smile. āWeāve trapped them all.ā
Gars had followed them the entire time and had acted very unbridledly. They felt it was inexcusable to let it pass so they took some action.
Qin Zhao nodded. āWhat answers do you want to get out of him? Was it difficult? Since heās a vampire that doesnāt fear sunlight then it doesnāt seem odd that he wouldnāt fear silvers as well. What else could he be afraid of?ā
Vampires could live a long life but those who lived long naturally didnāt fear death as much.
He Zhou chuckled. āEverybody has a weakness.ā
Qin Zhao and Wen Renyi agreed to set aside their opposing differences and unite their power. Zhang Yinfeng then appeared to heave a breath of relief and didnāt intend to delay their time any longer, allowing everyone to go their separate ways.
He Zhou and Wen Renyi returned to the hotel and entered Gars and Austerās room. Inside the room, the two people completely remained unmoved and big eyes were staring into small eyes.
āHe, Iāve really underestimated you. You actually managed to lead us right into your trap without a sound.ā Gars curved his eyes. āI think I admire you even more now.ā
He Zhou naturally wouldnāt sit around and wait for death while they chased him around so he had surreptitiously set up an array in their room, waiting for them to fall into it and get trapped.
āGars. You seem like youāre enjoying this kind of treatment.ā He Zhou sat in front of him, his dark eyes watching him attentively.
Gars Bruchās light red eyes stared back at him. āIāve already said before that Iām quite interested in Hua Countryās arrays.ā
āThen you can continue staying in the array.ā He Zhou remarked before getting up and intending to leave.
āHe, I thought you were going to torture answers out of me.ā Gars smiled like an angel that was possessed by a demon.
āAre you going to talk?ā He Zhou turned around to look at him.
Gars stared at Auster who was at the side. āIf you let go of him, I can tell you a few secrets.ā
Austerās face turned pale from worry. āGars!ā
He Zhou looked at Wen Renyi who had a gentle and serene smile. āDo what you want to do.ā
What He Zhou wanted to do was to naturally bring Gars back to Jing City. However, they couldnāt just let Auster go. Considering his relationship to Gars, there was no doubt he was going to report this matter to Garsā clan. By that time, who could predict what trouble would come waiting for them.ā
āAuster. My apologies. Itās been hard on you.ā When Gars was brought to the airport, it was as if he had let go of something as he spoke these words to Auster with sincerity.
Auster really wanted to ask him. With your ability, you couldnāt possibly be easily trapped in it. Why didnāt you resist? However, once he came into contact with Garsā gaze, the questions stuck in his throat had disappeared.
Since Gars did it, then he must have his reasons.
He Zhou brought Gars and Auster into Wen Renyiās villa and poured them both hot tea.āSay what you want to say.ā
Gars sipped a mouth of tea, his gaze falling onto the necklace as he finally revealed an answer..
āWhat heās looking for is a missing soul.ā
