Not long after, Ye Qiu took Chen Bo and left the Zhou family's War God Mansion.
On the way back, Chen Bo asked Ye Qiu what benefits he had received.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu told Chen Bo about obtaining the Four Seas Map.
Chen Bo was astonished: "Madam Sheng gave you the Map of the Four Seas? That's incredible!"
"Well, I don't know what her intentions are either, but Madam Sheng is an extraordinary person."
"More than just an extraordinary person, it is rumored that Madam Sheng is a superhuman. When she married Zhou Ziling eighteen years ago, her combat power was already comparable to that of a grandmaster."
Now, eighteen years later, her cultivation level has likely reached an even higher peak.
Chen Bo said seriously.
Ye Qiu was somewhat alarmed upon hearing this.
Because when he came into contact with Sheng Fanghua, he did not sense any martial arts aura or other aura from her.
The fact that she hid it so well shows that Sheng Fanghua's skill level is indeed very high.
Regardless of the circumstances, as long as Sheng Fanghua harbors no hostility towards Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu will not care whether Sheng Fanghua is hiding anything or not.
"Let's go back to the Dragon Palace first."
Ye Qiu said softly.
He planned to go back and study the mysterious symbols he had recorded from the First Pavilion Under Heaven. If they were indeed the lower volume of the Heavenly Dragon Manual, he would use them to advance further.
After that, go find Ye Huangchao!
Ye Qiu had to find Ye Huangchao, not only because the relationship between the two needed to be clarified, but also because when Sheng Fanghua spoke with Zhou Ziling at the Zhou residence, Zhou Ziling had mentioned something that made Ye Qiu suspicious, so he went to find Ye Huangchao.
This statement implies that Ye Huangchao knew everything.
But Ye Qiu wasn't in a hurry to find Ye Huangchao. He didn't believe Ye Huangchao was unaware that he had come to the capital. Ye Qiu wanted to see if Ye Huangchao would take the initiative to come and explain things to him.
Half an hour later, Ye Qiu and Chen Bo returned to the Dragon Palace together.
"You've come back just in time. I have an urgent task for you, and I was just about to call you."
Not long after they arrived at the Dragon Palace, Qin Yue came up to greet them.
"Elder Qin, what mission?"
Chen Bo asked.
Qin Yue said seriously, "There was an archaeological expert named Gu Zhen who mysteriously disappeared in the Jiangbei area on his way back to the capital with cultural relics. Everyone on the bus disappeared, and even the bus they were on vanished without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air."
This matter is being taken very seriously by higher authorities, because Gu Zhen is a national treasure-level expert, and the cultural relics he brought back are extremely important and cannot be lost. The higher authorities have ordered our Dragon Palace to investigate the truth, find the missing Mr. Gu and others, and recover those cultural relics.”
"Is it really that strange?" Chen Bo frowned. "Logically speaking, the bus came back via the highway, so it's impossible that we couldn't find a single clue, right?"
“We can’t find anything, not a single trace. I’m leaving this to the two of you to investigate. You must have results within three days,” Qin Yue said.
"Fifth Senior Sister, I still have many things to do. Why don't you hand this task over to someone else?"
Ye Qiu looked at Qin Yue.
"No," Qin Yue said. "Now that you've entered the Dragon Palace, you have to carry out your missions. You can't just sit idly by."
Furthermore, the old man and his team, along with those lost artifacts, hold special significance for our Great Xia. Junior brother, you cannot ignore them.”
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly.
"Brother Ye, I feel at ease with you here. We'll definitely be able to find out."
Chen Bo laughed.
"Chen Bo, you go to Jiangbei first to investigate. I'll go see the old temple master and then come back," Ye Qiu said.
"Brother Ye, aren't you coming along?"
"Don't worry about me. Go and find out any useful information first, such as whether any powerful gangs, domestic or foreign, have recently appeared near Jiangbei."
Secondly, copy down all the video footage of the car Mr. Gu was in over the past five days. Don't miss anything; I need it.
"Okay, I'll get right on it."
Without hesitation, Chen Bo turned and left.
"Wait, tell me your number before you go."
"..."
Chen Bo read out the number as he walked and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Ye Qiu memorized the number, then looked at Qin Yue; "Fifth Senior Sister, is it enough for you to just send me Chen Bo?"
"With your capabilities, sending too many people would be a waste of resources, wouldn't it?"
"That makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
"Go see the old temple master quickly, then carry out the mission. We can't delay, I also have an important mission."
"good."
...
An hour later, Ye Qiu walked out of the old hall master's main hall.
After talking with the old temple master for an hour, Ye Qiu learned many secrets, including the second volume of the Heavenly Dragon Manual.
Just as Ye Qiu had guessed, the old palace master knew about the second volume of the Heavenly Dragon Manual and told Ye Qiu that the second volume contained those ancient symbols.
However, to date, no one has been able to decipher those symbols or know what they mean.
Not knowing its meaning means that it is impossible to cultivate the lower volume of the Heavenly Dragon Technique.
But Ye Qiu was not flustered at all. As long as he knew that those ancient symbols were the lower volume of the Heavenly Dragon Manual, that was enough.
As for when the solution will be found, Ye Qiu is not in a hurry.
A moment later, Ye Qiu left the Dragon Palace and headed to Jiangbei.
Jiangbei is very close to the capital, only a little over 100 kilometers away.
Ye Qiu did not choose to take a car, but walked there instead.
However, Ye Qiu's walking speed was so fast that even a speeding car couldn't keep up with it; each step covered hundreds of meters, as if he had shrunk the earth to an inch.
Not long after, Ye Qiu arrived in Jiangbei and contacted Chen Bo by phone.
"How's the investigation going?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Brother Ye, I checked. The car that Mr. Gu and his group were in did indeed disappear strangely. There was surveillance footage of the section of road where they disappeared, but the footage was very eerie. The bus first became blurry and then vanished into thin air."
