Chapter 952 - 950: Wushuang Disappears
Won’t Wu Mengting stay with Lin Wushuang? If Wu Mengting is inside, she would surely hear the knocking. But after knocking a few times, there’s still no response.
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, ran to his room to check, and found no one there, basically concluding that something must have happened in Lin Wushuang’s room.
"Xiaoyu, did you bring the key?" Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered that Lu Xiaoyu shared a room with Lin Wushuang and quickly asked.
"No, I saw Mengting was inside, so I didn’t bring it, and besides, I’m wearing this skirt!" Lu Xiaoyu said with a bitter smile.
Upon hearing that, Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and kicked the door open, revealing a woman lying on the bed.
Chen Tianlong hurried forward to take a look, not Lin Wushuang, but Wu Mengting, who had already fainted. What exactly happened in this room? Lin Wushuang is missing, she was poisoned by Fire Poison and couldn’t have left on her own, and Chen Tianlong absolutely doesn’t believe that Lin Wushuang would knock Wu Mengting out.
Although Chen Tianlong briefly considered that the two might have fought due to personal issues, leading to mutual injury, Lin Wushuang is now sick, and Wu Mengting is too kind to possibly hit her.
The most critical thing is that Wu Mengting is unconscious, and Lin Wushuang ran away?
Isn’t this too unscientific?
Chen Tianlong lifted Wu Mengting from the bed, checked her breathing, finding it normal, and quickly applied pressure to her philtrum.
"Ouch!"
Wu Mengting’s delicate voice rang out, without a hint of blame, still so kind.
Chen Tianlong pulled her into his arms, settled himself down, and then asked, "Mengting, what exactly happened?"
Wu Mengting rubbed her little head, recalling for a moment, and then said, "Just now... someone knocked on the door, I thought it was you, called out twice with no answer, so I opened the door to peek outside, but felt a hit on my back and then fainted."
"You’re saying Wushuang was abducted?" Chen Tianlong finally understood upon hearing this.
But, why would they abduct Lin Wushuang?
Isn’t she a person who is dying? Why would anyone target her? If it was for beauty, then Wu Mengting is a first-class beauty, lively and healthy, even better than Lin Wushuang. Why grab a pale one?
"Probably." Wu Mengting said a bit dazedly, having no idea what happened next.
Chen Tianlong frowned; this is a disaster. Lin Wushuang had only a sliver of hope, but now she’s been taken away, leaving him to find her in this vast Fire Domain, and Lin Wushuang has at most three days left to live. If she’s not found soon, what will be found is likely just a corpse.
The first time, Chen Tianlong felt defeated, scared!
Wu Mengting saw the helpless look in Chen Tianlong’s eyes, hurriedly hugged him, and said softly, "Chen Tianlong, Wushuang will be fine; we’ll find her. Don’t blame yourself!"
Chen Tianlong’s body trembled, like a child who had done something wrong.
Sometimes the stronger the man, the harder it is to handle the loss.
And Chen Tianlong is that kind of man. If the young lady really died, he truly wouldn’t know how to face Lin Batian, how to face himself.
"Chen Tianlong, I think such a big hotel must have cameras. Let’s go get the footage and see if there’s any clue." Shen Yan, after all, an outsider, also a master, remained especially calm, quickly finding a solution.
Chen Tianlong’s deep affection led to him losing composure.
Chen Tianlong nodded; under normal circumstances, he would definitely think of this solution. The group rushed downstairs, found the hotel manager, and demanded to see the video.
After ten minutes of observation, they finally saw a direction—two strangers had come in, unnoticed by the staff, clearly experts.
Chen Tianlong’s gaze finally fell on the black BMW at the entrance. This car was conspicuous; when they left, it wasn’t there, but now it’s on camera and quickly drove off, clearly a clue.
"Alright, I’ve found the culprit." Having said that, Chen Tianlong immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Chen Tianlong, where have you been recently? I was just..."
"Yufei, do me a favor, can you contact the police in the Fire Domain?" Chen Tianlong directly asked.
"What? Fire Domain, you mean you’re in the Fire Domain?"
Zhang Yufei was surprised; the law enforcement there is poor, and with so many Cultivators, the police had already given up, only placing several stations for minor dispute resolution.
"Yes, if possible, please contact them, help me arrange to access... Ice Extreme Town’s camera feed, to find a license plate..."
Chen Tianlong told Zhang Yufei a lot of useful information, hoping it might help.
Zhang Yufei listening, said nothing more, hung up the phone, and began liaising. About ten minutes later, Zhang Yufei called Chen Tianlong back.
"The car you wanted checked has entered a place called Ice Spirit Sword Manor. But, it’s said that it’s on the border of Ice Extreme Town, and the Sword Manor is highly powerful; without solid evidence, the police don’t dare act recklessly."
Zhang Yufei passed all the information they knew to Chen Tianlong.
"Ice Spirit Sword Manor? Hiss..."
Hearing this name, Chen Tianlong drew a sharp breath, given how familiar it sounded, isn’t that the legendary sword-crafting place?
Could there be something more hidden?
With doubt, Chen Tianlong hung up the phone, even more annoyed. This kind of old manor is indeed tricky.
Just from the name, you can tell Ice Spirit Sword Manor is not simple. Sword Manor, just the name alone sounds sharp; could it be meant to exclusively hide swords?
Thinking this, Chen Tianlong said to the group, "Alright, you all stay here at the hotel and wait for my news. I’m going to Ice Spirit Sword Manor."
"Huh? Ice Spirit Sword Manor, what the heck?" Lu Xiaoyu hearing this name, felt like it belonged in a Jin Yong martial arts novel, somewhat surprised.
But, in reality, it’s nothing surprising; there are many Sword Manors in the realm of Ancient Martial Cultivators, not at all rare. Given the Cultivator Association’s rules, firearms are generally banned.
If these high-tech products were usable, they’d be deadly to Cultivators without Celestial Dao.
"Haha, I don’t really know either, but I heard from Shen Yan that the car went there, so I must go check it out; it’s the only clue." Chen Tianlong said.
Everyone nodded; saving people is urgent, the situation is severe, if Lin Wushuang isn’t found, it could be deadly.
Soon, Chen Tianlong walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed to Ice Spirit Sword Manor. But when the taxi driver heard the name, he frowned and asked, "Hey, are you going to Ice Spirit Sword Manor for relatives?"
"Not relatives, I’m just looking for someone." Chen Tianlong said directly, not holding back.
"If it’s not relatives, best not go, because anyone who recklessly enters, nine out of ten don’t come back." The driver advised.
"Haha, thank you, driver. I truly have urgent business, I must." Chen Tianlong replied.
