After a long time, the cultivator who went to look for Feng Yue came back in a hurry and said to Li Yunxi: "Senior, Feng Yue is missing. I have been looking for her for a long time but couldn't find any trace of her!"
"What? Feng Yue ran away? How is this possible? I saw her in her room half an hour ago!" Ning Qing was anxious. Things were about to take a turn for the better, but the major suspect disappeared!
Xiao Ling was not in the mood to care about what Ning Qing was doing in a widow's house. He directly ordered his cultivators, "You two go and seal off the Yan Mansion and question everyone in the mansion one by one. The rest of you will investigate from the center of Yan Mansion. She is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage and she is injured. Even if she escapes, she will not be able to get far."
The Yan Mansion is Feng Yue’s home, and her unfortunate husband’s surname is Yan.
Xiao Ling assigned tasks to his men, and then he remembered that they were still Li Yunxi's captives, so he asked Li Yunxi cautiously, "Senior, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
Li Yunxi didn't care about these things and said calmly: "I only care about whether I can find Feng Yue's whereabouts. As for what you do, it has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Ling heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and waved his hand, telling his men to get back to work.
At the same time, Li Yunxi also released his spiritual sense, and began to scan the surrounding area of 100 miles from the outside to the inside like a god! With Feng Yue's cultivation, it was impossible for him to run 100 miles in half an hour.
Seeing the aura that Li Yunxi was emitting at this time, Xiao Ling was shocked. What kind of cultivation was this? This kind of aura, I'm afraid even an ordinary cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage couldn't catch up with it? He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something to Li Yunxi, but in the end he swallowed his words.
Half an hour later, Li Yunxi opened her eyes, a trace of confusion on her face. She had searched the area within a hundred miles several times but could not find Feng Yue's whereabouts. With the strength of her spiritual sense, it was impossible for Feng Yue to avoid her search.
"Did you really see Feng Yue in her room in the last hour?" Li Yunxi asked, staring at Ning Qing.
"Senior, Mr. Xiao, what I said is absolutely true! The servants of the Yan Mansion can testify to it, how dare I lie to you?" Ning Qing was almost crying. No one present wanted to find Feng Yue more than him, or to be more precise, to find the lost goods. After all, among those goods were the headquarters' treasures. If he couldn't find them, he might not even be able to afford the compensation with his life.
"That's better." Li Yunxi said indifferently.
At this moment, Li Yunxi noticed that Xiao Ling's expression was a little unnatural. Although he concealed it well, Li Yunxi still discovered it.
"Bang~" Li Yunxi crushed Xiao Ling's body with one thought, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Hoo~Hoo~Senior...Senior, spare me!" Xiao Ling was pressed to the point of being unable to breathe. He took deep breaths and spoke intermittently.
Li Yunxi ignored Xiao Ling's pleas for mercy and even increased his strength. Xiao Ling felt that all the bones in his body were about to be crushed and even his soul was shaking constantly.
Ning Qing covered his mouth as he watched this scene, not daring to say a word, fearing that it would be his turn next.
After about 2 minutes, Li Yunxi saw that Xiao Ling could no longer hold on, so she withdrew the force she was pressing on him.
Xiao Ling suddenly felt his whole body relax, he took a deep breath, and quickly took a precious pill to recover from his injuries.
After Xiao Ling recovered for a while, Li Yunxi asked calmly, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Thinking about the feeling just now, Xiao Ling felt a little scared. After a slight struggle in his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "The thing that the Dehui Commercial Bank headquarters asked the branch here to deliver is a white bead. The bead has the effect of completely isolating the aura of cultivators. After using the bead, it can be said that one can achieve invisibility at the spiritual level."
"Idiot!" Li Yunxi cursed angrily. Because of Xiao Ling's concealment, she had to search with her spiritual sense like a fool for half an hour.
Li Yunxi was not interested in the broken bead at all. Her father had given her some soul-isolating material to play with. According to Li Mu, even Li Mu had not discovered the secret of that thing before, and it was her sister who discovered the secret. The hairpin on her head was made by Li Mu himself using that material, and she treasured it very much.
"Since you value that bead so much, and it can conceal the aura of a cultivator, why do you have to let those useless people transport it secretly? Can't your headquarters send someone to transport it personally?" Li Yunxi calmed down and asked doubtfully.
"Senior, you don't know that although the bead can hide the aura of a cultivator, it has obvious disadvantages. It cannot be stored in a Sumeru bag, and it can only hide the aura for 6 hours. After 6 hours, it can only be used again after another whole day. In fact, many people suspect that this bead is in the hands of our Dehui Trading Company. If we rashly send people to the Central Region to take it, it will definitely arouse suspicion." Xiao Ling smiled bitterly.
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Li Yunxi was even more disdainful of the bead, but still asked: "Why don't you send a wandering immortal to get the bead? A wandering immortal can teleport, so the six-hour time limit is not a problem for him?"
"Loose immortals? You still want to send them? Do you think that loose immortals are cabbages? Big sister, we are just a business organization, and we are barely a third-rate force in the Central Region. Where do the loose immortals come from? Even those 9-star forces, which one doesn't treat loose immortals well?"
Xiao Ling secretly complained when he heard this, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and said to Li Yunxi with a bitter face: "Senior, the senior who is at the highest level of our Dehui Commercial Bank is only in the middle stage of the tribulation..."
"Oh." Li Yunxi uttered a word indifferently.
"I've thought of a solution, senior. Since the bead can only isolate the aura for 6 hours, we only need to wait another 5 hours. By then, Feng Yue will naturally be nowhere to hide." Ning Qing patted his forehead and said excitedly.
"You'd better go and take a rest!" Li Yunxi glanced at him indifferently.
"Ah~? Did I say something wrong?" Ning Qing scratched his head.
"What you said is true, but it's all nonsense!" Xiao Ling said helplessly. Isn't it so obvious? Do you still need a smart guy like you to bring it up?
"Although the effect of the bead will disappear in another 5 hours, there is no guarantee that Feng Yue does not have other backup plans. In these 5 hours, ask your people to investigate carefully, and pay special attention to any cultivators with out-of-body cultivation or above leaving the city in the last two hours!" Li Yunxi instructed Xiao Ling.
"I understand." Xiao Ling nodded. He understood what Li Yunxi meant. The flying speed at the out-of-body level and above is much faster. Three or four hours is enough to travel very far. If there are such people assisting Feng Yue, it will be difficult to find their traces even with a large-scale search using spiritual sense.
