Lin Fei returned to his cave dwelling. He didn't immediately go to the Imperial City of Tianqi Country. Since he had taken the task, he first needed to understand the place where the task was located. He couldn't go to the Imperial City blindly.
Lin Fei first looked for a miscellaneous record. It recorded some power distributions of the Ancient Origin Sect and Tianqi Country. For example, the royal family. The first emperor of Tianqi Country was named Gu Xuan! In fact, he was an inner elder of the Ancient Origin Sect who had condensed an Energy Flower. He was sent by the Ancient Origin Sect to conquer all sides. Finally, he established Tianqi Country.
Therefore, the royal family of Tianqi Country was the Gu family. Later, the royal family of Tianqi Country also respected the Ancient Origin Sect. Even the selection of the heir to the emperor must also get the consent of the Ancient Origin Sect.
Of course, the royal family was rich and powerful, with a deep foundation. They had successively sent many true disciples into the Ancient Origin Sect. Among them, there were even Limit Martial Saints who had condensed Energy Flower and Qi Flower!
However, that was all in the past. In the past few hundred years, the royal family's talent has withered. Although there were also members of the royal family who became the true transmission of the Ancient Origin Sect, they couldn't reach the level of the Limit Martial Saint. Even the top Martial Saint was not reached. This is also why the royal family had no way to handle the case of the missing Martial Saint in the Imperial City this time. The strength was really weak.
Of course, the weakening of the royal family's strength would not cause any problems in Tianqi Country. After all, the entire Tianqi Country was the power of the Ancient Origin Sect. As long as there was no problem with the Ancient Origin Sect, even if the royal family died, there will be no impact at all. At most, just change a person or a family to be the royal family of Tianqi Country.
Lin Fei had a pretty good understanding. The royal family of Tianqi Country seemed weak and the Ancient Origin Sect didn't have a strong master stationed in the Imperial City. There were only one or two ordinary Martial Saints.
Moreover, the real culprit behind the case of the missing people seemed to know the measure. He didn't move the Martial Saint of the Ancient Origin Sect. Otherwise, the Ancient Origin Sect would have intervened long ago. It showed that the real culprit was also very afraid of the Ancient Origin Sect.
This point didn't need to be thought about. The Ancient Origin Sect was the overlord of Tianqi Country. No one would not fear the Ancient Origin Sect.
"It seems that I just need to go directly to the Imperial City. If the royal family has clues, that's fine. If there are no clues, then directly use saber momentum to search forcefully! As long as you are in the Imperial City, the murderer won't escape!"
A sharp light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He made up his mind.
Lin Fei directly left the cave dwelling. He quickly flew into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
......
Tianqi Country, Imperial City.
Inside the palace, the Emperor was furious. Even the Martial Saints of the royal family all had gloomy faces.
Because, Gu Yujian, the King of Leisure, was missing! The King of Leisure was the younger brother of the current Emperor. He was now a Martial Saint. Although he didn't enter the Ancient Origin Sect, he was also a Martial Saint master among the royal family. But he had also disappeared. Just like the other missing Martial Saints in the Imperial City.
Sudden and there were no traces left. They couldn't be found no matter what. In this case, the odds were more likely bad than good. Although the Emperor sent people to search, they didn't find any trace of the King of Leisure. Not even a single trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
The Mansion of the King of Leisure.
Gu Lin, the little daughter loved by the King of Leisure. Now she was biting her lip tightly. Her eyes were red. She looked haggard. It looked like she hadn't slept for many days.
Gu Lin had not bestowed any title. However, everyone knew that she was the most beloved daughter of the King of Leisure. Her status in the mansion was also very high.
In front of Gu Lin, there were two Martial Saints dressed in the Ancient Origin Sect's attire.
With a "plop" sound, Gu Lin knelt down in front of the two Martial Saints.
"Uncle Qiu, Uncle Li, you have always been good friends with my father. Now my father is missing, and his life or death is unknown. Although the Emperor sent people to search, no Martial Saint dares to go. How could they find any clues? Please, the two Martial Saints, help to look for my father. Perhaps you can find a clue about my father."
These two Martial Saints were sent by the Ancient Origin Sect to the Imperial City. They basically had no hope of promotion. Sent to the Imperial City was also considered as retirement. They enjoyed luxury and wealth. It was a comfortable job. Both of them and Gu Yujian, the King of Leisure, got along well. Every day, they enjoyed painting, chess, and music, and had fun. It was indeed a happy life.
However, the King of Leisure had now disappeared. Suddenly, the two of them were somewhat unprepared. Even, there was a hint of vigilance in their hearts. After all, they were also Martial Saints! The mysterious killers seemed to specialize in capturing Martial Saints. Their strength must be very terrifying.
Seeing Gu Lin kneel down and ask for their help, the two were quite helpless. They could only shake their heads and say, "Gu Lin, get up first. It's not that we don't want to find Brother Yujian. It's really that our strength is limited. Even Brother Yujian, who is as strong as us, was captured without any resistance. If we go to search, it's nothing more than walking into a tiger's den."
Gu Lin's face turned pale. She said tremulously, "So, there's no way?"
"Of course there is a way! That is to wait! Your royal family has issued a task in the Ancient Origin Sect. They have offered a reward of ten thousand contribution points. I believe that soon the top Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect will take the task and come to investigate the case of the missing Martial Saints. At that time, they will naturally find out the real culprit, and even kill the real culprit!"
"The top Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect?"
Gu Lin's eyes widened. It seemed to show a glimmer of hope again.
"But when will the top Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect arrive?"
"Nobody knows that. Only when a top Martial Saint takes the task will they come to the Imperial City."
"But what if no one takes the task for a long time? Won't no one come to the Imperial City to investigate then?"
The two Martial Saints from the Ancient Origin Sect looked at each other, both fell silent. Theoretically, this possibility exists. No one takes the task. Otherwise, after so long, the top Martial Saints should have come down from the mountain. But so far, no Martial Saint from the Ancient Origin Sect has come to the Imperial City.
"If you don't go and look for him, then I will go by myself!"
Gu Lin gritted her teeth. She immediately stood up, ready to leave the mansion to go look for clues on her own.
"Nonsense!"
The Martial Saint from the Ancient Origin Sect snorted coldly.
"My father's whereabouts are unknown, life or death is uncertain. Others may choose not to look. But as the daughter of my father, how could I sit idly by and wait in the mansion? What's more, you are Martial Saints from the Ancient Origin Sect. How would that mysterious killer dare to target you? If you are willing to investigate, as long as there are any clues, you don't need to act. Just pass the clues to the royal family. The royal family's Martial Saints will naturally take action!"
The faces of the two Martial Saints changed constantly. What Gu Lin said made sense. In fact, that mysterious killer, although rampant, had never offended anyone from the Ancient Origin Sect. Obviously, the other party was also wary of the Ancient Origin Sect. If they both went to investigate, there would probably be no danger. But they just didn't want to take risks. What if the other party dared to take risks? Wouldn't they be in danger then?
Looking at Gu Lin's expectant expression, the two Martial Saints sighed and said, "Fine, we are good friends with Brother Yujian. Moreover, we have already lived for more than four hundred years, and we are not far from our lifespan. Even if something unexpected happens, it's enough! We will go out together and look for clues about Brother Yujian!"
Gu Lin was overjoyed in her heart and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, both Martial Saints!"
"Alright, there's no need to talk nonsense. Brother Yujian hasn't been missing for long, there may still be some clues."
So, the two Martial Saints took Gu Lin, left the mansion, and went to the Imperial City to look for clues about the disappearance of Gu Yujian.
Lin Fei returned to his cave dwelling. He didn't immediately go to the Imperial City of Tianqi Country. Since he had taken the task, he first needed to understand the place where the task was located. He couldn't go to the Imperial City blindly.
