"Let's go back."
Lu Qing'an didn't let Zhen Yongfu and the others reboard the flying boat, but instead ordered them to return on their own. He then contacted Murong Qingming to inquire about his whereabouts. Upon learning that Murong Qingming and his companions had already gone to the three major families and begun a thorough investigation of the demons, he immediately flew the flying boat to their destination.
If they really discover the traces of the demons, they will be annihilated.
By the time he reunited with the main force, Murong Qingming and his men had already thoroughly searched the Chen, Long, and Sun families, but they had found no trace of the demons. They hadn't even detected a trace of demonic energy, let alone any sign of the demons' presence.
When Lu Qing'an arrived in the flying boat, everyone looked at him, and Murong Qingming even came forward to greet him.
"Friend Jia, we have searched thoroughly and found no trace of the demons." Murong Qingming frowned.
Although they acted quickly following Zhao Dezhu's reminder, they still failed to find any trace of the demons. It seemed that the demons were most likely not hiding in these three major families.
After careful investigation, no evidence was found against Sun Yinyang, the head of the Sun family. I am afraid that after this operation is over, Sun Yinyang will have to be released.
"Could it be that Sun Yinyang really has not colluded with the demons? Of course, I am not questioning Fellow Daoist Jia, but now there is no evidence, so it is difficult to continue to doubt Sun Yinyang." Lin Bufan, the head of the Lin family, has always been taciturn, but at this moment he suddenly spoke. Although his words were humble, he was actually questioning Lu Qingan.
This made Lu Qing'an look at Lin Bufan a little longer. He smiled and said, "The demons could appear anywhere in Panlong City right now, and since they haven't been discovered, they must be acting cautiously. Their hiding places are definitely not easy to find. We've already checked the three major families, so why don't we check all the other forces as well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Lin Bufan frowned slightly. How could he not understand the meaning behind this? Once everyone agreed, Lu Qingan would probably start investigating the Lin family first!
Huang Zhentian then said, "That's quite true. It should be so."
Lu Qing'an glanced at Huang Zhentian, then turned his gaze to Lin Bufan and asked calmly, "What do you think, Patriarch Lin?"
He always felt that there must be something fishy about the four family heads being able to suddenly break through to the Void Silence Realm. Since the heads of the three major families all had suspicious qualities, would there be any problems with Lin Bufan who broke through to the Void Silence Realm at the same time?
It’s hard to say what the outcome will be, but since we’ve started the investigation, it’s definitely best to investigate thoroughly.
Lin Bufan pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, but I feel like Fellow Daoist Jia seems to be acting without any evidence at all. If this continues, how long will it take us?"
Everyone looked at Lin Bufan standing up completely and talking to Lu Qing'an in a yin-yang way, with strange expressions on their faces.
On the contrary, Lu Qing'an felt that Lin Bufan was hiding something from this point.
Others might still be skeptical about the fact that Sun Yinyang had a problem, but he was very sure that Sun Yinyang had a problem. At least Xu Qingying's intuition had never been wrong so far, and Sun Yinyang had indeed given him many problematic signs.
Now Lin Bufan is also going to follow in Sun Yinyang's footsteps.
"Master Lin is absolutely right. If it really doesn't work, I won't participate in this operation. Fellow Daoist Murong, I will go back to practice first." Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
They knew very well that Lu Qing'an was very powerful, at least a Liuli Realm expert. If they lost his assistance, the hope of eliminating the demons would be greatly reduced.
"Fellow Daoist, we are still unclear about the situation of the demon clan, nor do we know how strong they are. Now we have to rely on your strength. You all also want to quickly eradicate the demon clan, and this will certainly affect the interests of all parties. However, compared to short-term interests, long-term interests are the top priority. I hope you will think more about the future." Zhao Dezhu of the Xianjian Sect spoke at the right time, with gentle words, which not only stabilized Lu Qing'an, but also forced Lin Bufan and others to think twice.
The reason why Lu Qing'an is still in Panlong City is very simple. First, he wants to stay in this familiar environment for some time. Naturally, he doesn't want this stable environment to be destroyed by the demons. Second, there are familiar people here. For example, he has a good relationship with Jubaozhai and the Alchemist Guild, which is more beneficial for him to accumulate lifespan.
Therefore, what he needs to do now is to quickly lead everyone to eliminate the demons in the city.
In order to eradicate all the demons, he naturally has to take up the banner. This move also lets everyone know that if they want him to help, they should listen to him.
He can quickly find the demons and eliminate all of them.
"Brother Daoist Zhao is absolutely right." Murong Qingming said with a smile.
The more he understood Lu Qing'an's methods, the more he understood their importance. In order to restore peace to Panlong City as soon as possible, he would not hesitate to obey Lu Qing'an's arrangements, even if Lu Qing'an asked him to do something against his will.
"What Fellow Daoist Zhao said makes sense. Then let's investigate according to what Fellow Daoist Jia said! However, we haven't found even a trace of the demons. Where do you think the problem lies, Fellow Daoist Jia?" Lin Bufan was still not convinced and asked Lu Qing'an directly.
Lu Qing'an sneered secretly, becoming even more certain that Lin Bufan had ulterior motives.
"The demons act cautiously, but it's not difficult to find their hiding places in the three major families," he said.
When these words were spoken, everyone felt it was strange, as being cautious and easy to find seemed to be contradictory.
After Lu Qing'an finished speaking, he directly put himself in the shoes of a demon. Demonic energy would appear during the day, so given his situation, there were only a few directions he could choose to hide.
"They may choose to hide in sparsely populated places far away from the ground, such as the back mountain, forbidden caves, or even deep underground. They may also hide in treasures, or use formations to conceal their bodies, or hide in places like under water or at the bottom of a well..." Lu Qing'an listed more than ten possible hiding places in one breath.
