n“Do you know that? A young man went to the Xinghua Restaurant in the east of the town to cause trouble today.”

n“Cause trouble? Did you arrest him?”

n“Ha, why should we arrest him? He’s a silly boy.”

n“Oh? Tell me more.”

nTwo constables were happily chatting with each other on a roof in a government official building.

nThe small town was peaceful, and these constables were also happy and idle.

nOf course, they naturally ignored the gangster inn shop outside the town.

n“I was on patrol at that time, and I heard a commotion inside when I passed by the Xinghua Restaurant.”

n“Then I heard the waiter of Xinghua Restaurant shouting something like ‘there’s a gangster inn ten miles east. Go there then if you are”.”

n“What does that mean? Why did it involve that group of people?”

nThe younger constable subconsciously shrank his neck when he heard the other constable mentioned the gangster inn outside the town.

nEven the town’s Judicial Department did not dare to provoke that shop. The young constable was a little afraid.

nThe old constable smiled and pretended to see through the whole situation. He said smugly, “Hey, I heard that it was that kid who wanted to buy wine and had no money. So he said that Xinghua Restaurant was an unscrupulous shop. That is what happens in the end.”

nThe young constable also understood at that moment.

nNo wonder the waiter of the Xinhua Restaurant would say such things.

n“What happened after that?” The young constable sat up straight and hurriedly asked.

n“After that…” the old constable was about to continue, but he seemed to have seen something, and his eyes stared straight outside the Judicial Department Office.

nThe young constable was about to continue asking, but then he seemed to have realized something, and he followed the old constable’s line of sight.

nHe saw a young man about sixteen years old. He was dressed in white and held a paper umbrella in his hand. In his hand was…

nA human head!

nThe young constable was shocked when he saw this scene. He quickly stood up and shakily pulled out the saber at his waist. He stuttered, “Kill, kill, kill… killer!”

nThe young man glanced at the young constable and gently raised his hand, throwing the human head at his feet.

nThe young constable was so scared that he jumped back twice, but the young man’s words came to his ears.

n“This guy’s head is worth 500 taels?”

nThe old constable squinted his eyes and looked at the head when he heard that as he gulped.

n“This, this is Liu Laosan?”

nThe young constable adjusted his hat and asked subconsciously upon hearing the old constable’s words, “Liu Laosan? is he the boss of that gangster inn outside the town?”

nThe old constable nodded with a solemn expression and looked at the young man.

nHe saw that the young man’s expression was calm, and there was not a single trace of blood on his body.

nHis white clothes were like the winter snow, spotless.

nThe old constable was shocked, and he could see that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person!

n“Young hero, May I know your name?” The old constable bowed slightly and cupped his hands as he asked.

n“My surname is Lin, and my name is Qi.”

n…

nIn the wasteland outside the town.

nTwo rays of light fell at the same time.

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and Guan Zhen looked at the scene in front of them with solemn expressions.

nThey saw a table suddenly placed on the barren wasteland in front of them, and it looked out of place.

nHowever, they were not looking at the table.

nThey were looking at the person next to it.

nNo, to be precise.

nIt was a headless corpse!

nThe corpse’s left hand was on the table, and it was nailed to the table by a short knife.

nThere was an extremely flat wound on its neck.

nIt was obvious that it had been cut open with a sharp weapon.

nA few rays of light fell from behind at that moment.

nIt turned out that the other disciples of the Baiyun Sect had also chased after them.

nYou Yilin looked at this scene and frowned. He said in a deep voice, “This wound is extremely smooth. You can tell at one look that it was caused by someone with profound cultivation.”

n“Lin Qi, could he have been abducted by this murderer?”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and Guan Zhen looked at each other upon seeing that. They could see the worry in each other’s eyes.

nThere was someone in this world who dared to come to Baiyun Sect and abduct a disciple by force.

nMoreover, the disciple who was abducted was Lin Qi.

nHow could they not be worried?

n“Master, look, there seems to be someone lying there in the distance.”

nYou Yilin’s words rang out, causing Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and Guan Zhen to quickly turn around to look over at him.

nThere was indeed a person lying there in the distance, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

n“There seems to be one over there too!”

n“There are two over here too!”

nMany disciples noticed the bodies scattered in all directions at once.

n“Quick, search separately and see if Lin Qi is among them!”

nGuan Zhen said anxiously.

nGuan Zhen was an elder, after all, so his words were still effective.

nThese disciples did not dare to disobey him and quickly spread out to check.

nGuan Zhen sighed and looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao with a worried expression after seeing that the disciples had left. He said in a low voice, “Senior, I misunderstood you. I’m sorry.”

nA hint of surprise flashed in Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s eyes. “Junior Guan, you do believe that I’m innocent?”

nGuan Zhen nodded slightly and said seriously, “Lin Qi is missing. I can see that you are also very anxious.”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao closed his eyes and nodded when he heard that.

nLin Qi was a very outstanding disciple.

nHow could he not be anxious now that his whereabouts were unknown?

n“Master, Elder Guan, the juniors have checked just now. Lin Qi was not around them.”

nYou Yilin frowned and reported in a low voice.

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao turned around and asked, “Could it be that any disciple didn’t recognize Lin Qi, so he didn’t recognize him?”

nYou Yilin shook his head and said, “Junior Lin has outstanding talent and stood out among the crowd during the apprentice test. How could the juniors not recognize him?”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao suddenly seemed to have aged ten years when he heard You Yilin’s analysis, and he felt depressed.

nPerhaps the Baiyun Sect would never meet such a genius in another hundred years if they could not find Lin Qi back.

nThat was a huge loss for the Baiyun Sect.

n“Quick, mobilize everyone in the Baiyun Sect. We must find Lin Qi even if we have to flip the whole town!”

nEveryone was slightly stunned when they heard Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s order.

nThey did not expect that the sect leader would take this matter so seriously.

nThey had to find Lin Qi.

nBut to mobilize everyone in the Baiyun Sect was something that no one had expected.

nAfter all, there were thousands of disciples in the Baiyun Sect.

nThat required a lot of manpower.

nHowever, no one dared to disobey since the sect leader had given the order.

nSoon, the disciples immediately returned to the Baiyun Sect to mobilize the other disciples.

nGuan Zhen sighed and looked at the Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.

n“Senior, I was wrong about you.”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao waved his hand. “Alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore. The most important thing now is to find Lin Qi.”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao turned his head to look at You Yilin after saying that. He found that You Yilin was staring at the horizon with a strange expression on his face when he was about to speak.

n“Master… is that Junior Lin?”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was slightly stunned and followed You Yilin’s line of sight.

nHe saw a white light flying rapidly in this direction from the horizon.

nOn a closer look, it seemed that…

nIt was Lin Qi!

nGuan Zhen was about to call out to Lin Qi when he saw Lin Qi approaching them.

nHowever, Lin Qi did not seem to notice them and directly flew over their heads.

n“… This is Lin Qi, isn’t it?”

n“It seems like it is…”

n“Wait, when did Junior Lin learn how to ride a flying sword?”

n“…”
