Chapter 412 Not at Home

Yang Qian flew over here, hiding his presence, and chose a night with thunder and rain. This would help him hide his whereabouts.

According to the spies, the first melon they found was in the forest below.

A mountain forest without a name. It is far away from the city, and the nearest one is about 150 to 60 miles away. It is not a beautiful place, and there is no special output. It is truly a place with few people. It is estimated that if there is no special situation, no one will come to this mountain even for dozens or hundreds of years.

Yang Qian's divine sense tentatively explored downwards, and soon found the vitality hidden in the mountains, a group of thirty to fifty cultivators, all of whom were evil cultivators.

However, these cultivators were very different from the evil cultivators in Yang Qian's impression. At least in terms of evil spirits, Yang Qian sensed very little of them in the evil cultivators below.

The basis of the evil monks' cultivation is Yin Sha and blood food, which is very similar to the demons, except that the demons practice step by step, and eating blood is just a necessary step in their cultivation. The evil monks use Yin Sha and blood food to take shortcuts.

Therefore, Yang Qian had never seen an evil cultivator with such a weak evil spirit on him.

However, while the evil spirits were fading, these evil monks had a scarlet power hidden in their bodies. This scarlet power reminded Yang Qian of the evil thoughts mentioned in the "Evil Scriptures". It was just like the power Zhou Zhong was looking for.

Has this been delegated to ordinary evil monks?
Zhou Zhong is so generous?

What’s more crucial is that Zhou Zhong is an anomaly that only appears once in a thousand years. How could others endure the evil thoughts entering their bodies and not die?

Or has Zhou Zhong come up with some genius and different approach?

Yang Qian had a big question mark in his mind.

Zhou Zhong regards human life as worthless, and he is practicing the method of the evil god Jiang Yuhe in the "Cult". It is hard to say whether his state of mind is still worthy of being a human being. Can he work hard to help his subordinates study the way of cultivation?
This is simply impossible!

Only those brainwashed idiots under Zhou Zhong would believe that Zhou Zhong was granting them power and benefits, and they were very happy about it.

Yang Qian guessed that this should be the effect of the so-called "blood pill" mentioned by Zhou Zhong's minions.

Thinking of Zhou Zhong's methods, Yang Qian felt that these "blood pills" were probably even worse than the divine ashes that Zhou Zhong gave to the people of Shuangqing Prefecture. However, he had not seen the real thing, so he could not judge its effect for the time being.

After some searching, Yang Qian indeed found the two people who came from Linshui City in his mind, but he did not detect Zhou Zhong's breath, nor did he find any possible hidden secret room in the mountain below.

The only possibility is that Zhou Zhong is not here.

This made Yang Qian frown. The best outcome for him was to dig Zhou Zhong out and kill him. He had already estimated Zhou Zhong's strength. Even if Zhou Zhong followed Jiang Yuhe's evil god path, his starting point was low. Even if he committed hundreds of thousands of murders in Jizhou Prefecture, he would not be able to soar to the sky. At most, he would be between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Out-of-Body Realm.

This was not Yang Qian's random guess, but a deduction based on the practice patterns of the evil cultivators he had seen. He also gave face to Jiang Yuhe and exaggerated the result of his deduction a lot.

Therefore, as long as he could find Zhou Zhong, Yang Qian was sure that he could kill him.

But since Zhou Zhong was not around, Yang Qian did not dare to act rashly.

I was just worried about alerting the enemy. If Zhou Zhong ran away, Yang Qian would be angry, not to mention what would happen if an evil cultivator who followed Jiang Yuhe's path was given time and space to wreak havoc in secret for thirty to fifty years? By then, I'm afraid the Immortal Alliance would have to join forces again to deal with it, right?
After falling from the cloud, Yang Qian flew into the mountains. Following the path that he had previously discovered with his divine sense, he found the two people who came from Linshui City in a cave in the belly of a mountain.

There is a magic circle lamp above the cave, illuminating the inside of the cave.

The two people from Linshui City tentatively told their plan, waiting for the middle-aged man in black robe to respond. "Change grain to salt?"

"Hey, Commander Zhang, what do you think?"

"It's a good idea. But the master is not in the mountains, so I'm afraid it will take some time for your idea to be responded to. But this method itself is fine. You can first contact the salt producing areas in Shuangqing Prefecture and make arrangements early. When the master gives the order, it will be effective directly. This is a real achievement."

"Commander Zhang reminded us that without your guidance, our ideas would not even be worthy of being presented to the master."

"Hahaha, you are too modest. You guys have done a good job in Linshui City during this period. The divine ash has been spread widely, otherwise the master would not have given you the blood pills for you to enjoy."

"Commander Zhang, please give us your support. If you have any requests in the future, we will do our best to fulfill them!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two people from Linshui City left overnight. They were probably going back to make intensive arrangements and then rush to Changjing Town in Pingcheng. Before that, several of them had already arrived in Changjing Town and went straight to Yanjing to find out the situation.

The story doesn’t end here.

Yang Qian hid in the soil layer above the cave and heard Commander Zhang in the cave discussing something with two other accomplices who were obviously more trusted. They mentioned the word "master" frequently and seemed quite flustered.

"Have you found the owner?"

"No. The master suddenly said from Hengcheng that he was distracted and wanted to go out for a walk. After that, there was no news. Our people went to look for him in Linshui, the surrounding areas of Hengcheng, and even in Fucheng and Huimuguan, but there was no trace of the master."

The best way to contact them is through the talisman. But if you ignore the message on the talisman, it will be as hard to find them as if they had disappeared into the sea.

The most surprised person to hear these words was Yang Qian, he hid in the hope of finding out some information, or finding an opportunity to throw two magic disks out as an informant. But he didn't expect that big news would hit him directly in the face.

Zhou Zhong is missing?
And the reason for the disappearance sounds like a joke: Is his mind disturbed?

What does it mean to be concerned? Yang Qian tried to understand, and finally translated it into plain language: I feel like something needs me to go over.

What's going on? Where are you going?
Don't know at all.

To put it bluntly, it's no different from going crazy.

"But did they all leave marks?"

"The ones that were left behind were all at the base of the ground next to the city gate. They are the Three-Eyed Divine Seals."

"Just leave the mark. The master must be safe now, otherwise we, as his followers, will be implicated. The master must have his reasons for leaving suddenly. Temporarily withdraw the personnel from various places and don't show up. Everything will be settled after the master comes back."

"What about the new matter raised by Linshui City?"

"Send the talisman to the master. Whether it returns or not is one thing, but we must not forget to inform those who should be informed."

"understood."
