"Alright, I'll go see what's going on." The Grand Elder also became uneasy. The fact that even they hadn't noticed meant that the other party had come prepared.
Moreover, their cultivation level is either quite high, or they have powerful figures helping them from behind.
Otherwise, even the sect leader wouldn't have gone unaware.
The Grand Elder hurriedly arrived with the steward elders, while Wei Wenru went to Nan Yu's side, only to find that Nan Yu was fast asleep.
He quickly pulled her up: "Wake up, where did Junior Sister go?"
"Junior Sister isn't at her residence, Nan Yu! Get up quickly, where did Wanwan go?"
Nan Yu, shaken awake, was instantly wide awake upon hearing those words: "What? How come he's not here...?"
In an instant, Nan Yu felt as if she had returned to the secret realm, experiencing that unease of looking at the little cub.
"Wanwan...is gone?" Nan Yu instantly snapped out of her daze, her mind racing. "She hasn't been looking for Lao Zhao lately, and I haven't looked for her today either...Senior sister, Wanwan is very obedient and wouldn't run around like that!"
"Wanwan is so obedient, she wouldn't be too far from my Tao, something must have happened!"
Nan Yu was almost in tears. This was the boy he had watched grow up. How could he not be anxious and heartbroken to lose him? In a panic, Nan Yu jumped up and ran outside, shouting, "It's all over! Wanwan is missing!"
Wei Wenru no longer needed to go to Zhao Zhishan's place; she was now certain that something had happened to Nian Wanzhou.
They rushed back to Nian Wanzhou's cave dwelling, where a number of elders and deacons had already gathered, indicating that something serious had happened.
"Father, how is it?" Wei Wenru brought Nanyu to the Grand Elder's side and asked in a low voice.
"The situation is not optimistic. There is no trace of Little White Dragon in the entire sect, and no one has seen her. That cave was dug up from the foot of the mountain." The First Elder said with a gloomy face, his hands behind his back as he watched the people inside collect evidence.
"We've had so many visitors lately that we've neglected these things so much. And they've even used a powerful magic weapon. It seems they've been eyeing the little girl for a long time."
Some people had already gone to track down the trail, but soon they returned with grim faces and reported the situation: "It's terrible, Elder, this situation is extremely troublesome. Those people have even used powerful magical artifacts!"
The elder examined the clay imbued with the aura of the amplifier artifact and understood what was going on. He just hadn't expected that the other party would actually use the artifact of a powerful being!
It's no wonder they couldn't detect it even though they were inside the sect.
There are still many hidden masters in the cultivation world. Compared to these masters, these older ones are just young people and can't compare at all.
Without further ado, the group immediately went down the mountain to investigate the trail.
At the same time, the news must be kept secret, and the fact that Little White Dragon has been abducted must not be spread, as that would be bad for everyone.
What I fear most is that it will jeopardize Nian Wanzhou's safety.
This is troublesome to investigate. Not only have all the traces along the way been cleared away, but recently the foot of the mountain has become a mixed bag of people, making it impossible to find any suspicious individuals.
Because everyone seems suspicious to me.
The sect leader, his face dark with anger, appeared again, carrying his precious sword. He had a bellyful of insults he couldn't utter, otherwise he probably would have cursed them out on the spot.
The sect leader, his face dark and fierce, tossed the jade pendant to the man following behind him and said sternly, "Who exactly are these people who dare to act so arrogantly in front of me? They're really... Qi Feng, use my jade pendant to find out."
The man hurriedly accepted the jade pendant and went back to contact someone, a practice commonly known as "finding connections to fight."
"Eldest brother, let Fifth Brother investigate the magic artifacts. You guys use this to track down the little dragon cub. I'll handle things here at the sect. Also, call Sixth Brother back. His own daughter is missing and he hasn't come back!" The sect leader finally swallowed the urge to curse and gave a few instructions.
The Grand Elder agreed. He originally wanted Wei Wenru to stay in the sect, but seeing his daughter's serious and worried expression, he decided to let them go with her.
To everyone's surprise, all four apprentices showed up.
Even Lexi, who didn't get along with Xiaolongzai, came and went together.
"Master, why was Junior Sister captured?" On the way, Le Xi couldn't help but ask. He was really curious about who would dare to do such a thing to their Tianji Sect.
They also captured that useless dragon cub.
"They're not even grown up yet, so even if they were used to refine magical artifacts, they wouldn't be of much use, at least that's what he thought." Despite the criticism, he still had to go save them. Seeing his senior sister's anxious expression, he couldn't let her be too heartbroken.
"We don't know yet, but it seems to be related to some powerful figure." The Grand Elder couldn't say for sure either; once Nian Wanzhou's identity was revealed, it would always bring a lot of trouble.
They just didn't expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly, especially since it happened in their own backyard.
"A powerful being, that's really troublesome." Le Xi muttered, feeling worried for Nian Wanzhou. These demon beasts and divine beasts were most afraid of being captured by a powerful being and suffering a tragic end.
Without the protection of a large family, cubs rarely grow up safely on their own; most are captured, skinned, and used to make magical artifacts.
And his junior sister...
Even in the safest place within a major sect, one cannot escape being targeted.
Although he and this junior sister didn't get along very well because of certain things, she was still a junior sister he got along with well and someone that his senior sister cared about. He couldn't just sit idly by.
We still need to do our part.
Turning to comfort the anxious Wei Wenru, she said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. Junior Sister is a lucky person and will be alright."
"Yes, pay more attention to your surroundings." Wei Wenru's mind was not on this junior brother; worry occupied her entire being, and her tone was rather indifferent in her reply.
This caused Le Xi to feel a huge sense of disappointment. If the situation hadn't been so unusual, he probably would have been jealous for a long time.
Along the way, none of the people who had separated noticed anything amiss, not even a hair on the junior sister's head, let alone any distress signals.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Nan Yu, who had been searching for clues everywhere and had been staying in the secret realm for a long time, returned with good news.
"Elder, Senior Sister, I've found Wanwan's aura!" Nan Yu found an extremely ordinary tree branch with nothing particularly remarkable about it.
"Really?" The elder looked at the tree branch and almost doubted himself, but still chose to believe Nan Yu.
After all, Nan Yu is the closest to Nian Wanzhou, so perhaps she really does have some clues.
Several groups of people and ritual implements were tried, but nothing could be detected.
Finally, under the detection of the magical artifact brought by the Fifth Elder, a trace of Nian Wanzhou's aura, which was so faint as to be almost non-existent, was discovered. It was not difficult to see that it was left behind by Nian Wanzhou with great difficulty.
Some remnants of magical artifacts remained on it. Although it was impossible to discern the power of those artifacts, considerable information could be extracted from them, including the person who took Nian Wanzhou away and the direction they went...
