Chapter 99: The Master has his own principles. How can you question that?
As Xiao Jing said, they arrived at Linhai at sunset.
Linhai is a treasure land with abundant spiritual energy and pleasant climate, so Linhai has developed very prosperously and is considered a medium-to-large town.
When Shen Wuyan and his companions arrived in Linhai, they went directly to the Monster Management Bureau. Matters like the disappearance of disciples from immortal sects were not under the jurisdiction of the human world's government.
Upon learning that Shen Wuyan had arrived, the leader of the Monster Management Bureau immediately went out to greet him.
After everyone exchanged brief greetings, Shen Wuyan waved his hand to stop the Monster Management Bureau leader from saying any flattering words.
He looked calm and said in a businesslike manner, "Give me the list of the disciples who have been in trouble."
It is rumored that Lingyun Sect's Silent Immortal is aloof, arrogant and cold-hearted, and now it seems to be true.
The Immortal Venerable had a calm expression, and although he was not stern, he gave people a faint sense of alienation. As soon as he entered the Monster Management Bureau, he asked for a list of people who had been in trouble. It was impossible to tell whether his voice was happy or angry. The leaders of the Monster Management Bureau were unsure and felt a little terrified.
He quickly looked at his men, who immediately took out the list and handed it to the leader of the Monster Management Bureau, who then took it and handed it to Shen Wuyan.
Shen Wuyan took it, sat on the armchair in the living room and looked down.
The servant disciple brewed tea and placed it next to Shen Wuyan. Shen Wuyan did not move. After reading the list, he handed it to Xiao Jing who was standing beside him and said, "Take a look."
Xiao Jing looked through the list and said, "They are all disciples above the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are even Jindan Stage disciples... The murderer is at least at the Jindan Stage or above."
Shen Wuyan nodded, took the tea and took a sip.
"Most of the time he went missing was at night, alone." Xiao Jing looked at Shen Wuyan and said, "Master, why don't you let me try to catch that big fish?"
"Okay," Shen Wuyan looked at the orange sky outside, "Let's do it tonight."
Linhai Huaxianglou.
Although things have been a bit uneasy in Linhai recently, with people going missing one after another, there are still quite a few people hanging out there.
The lights in Huaxiang Tower were bright, the smell of wine was wafting in the air, and there was constant laughter and playfulness. It was very lively.
A young man of average appearance drank a lot of wine. In the middle of the night, he walked out of Huaxiang Building drunkenly, his body staggering.
He turned from the main road into a dark alley. The further he went in, the darker the alley became until he was stopped by a man in black.
A dark light flashed in the drunken boy's eyes. He really dared to come.
After all, he just wanted to try his luck. The news that Lingyun Sect's Silent Immortal had arrived in Linhai had spread almost throughout every street and alley in Linhai.
Since everyone knew about it, the murderer must have known it too. He thought the murderer might be frightened and choose to escape.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was so bold and bold that he even dared to commit the crime and come to the door himself.
In the blink of an eye, the drunken boy was no longer drunk at all. His expression was serious and his eyes were sharp. He immediately started fighting with the man in black in front of him.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the alley.
Shen Wuyan had landed on the rooftop nearby without him noticing. The cold moonlight was shining down on him, and he looked as if he was covered in a layer of icy gauze, making him look even colder and more aloof.
The leader of the Monster Management Bureau next to him didn't dare to say anything and could only glance secretly. Then he clearly saw the surprise in Shen Wuyan's eyes and the furrowed brows.
At this moment, a wolf howl echoed throughout Linhai, and many Linhai town residents were awakened by the fright.
A snow wolf appeared beside Shen Wuyan at some point. The snow wolf looked extremely excited. In the blink of an eye, it jumped off the roof and rushed towards the man in black.
Seeing that the sword in the black-clothed man's hand was becoming more and more fierce and brutal, the sword slashed towards the Snow Wolf. The Snow Wolf seemed not to have expected this and stood there in a daze.
Fortunately, Shen Wuyan appeared in time and a transparent barrier fell around the snow wolf, thus avoiding the tragedy of the snow wolf being split into two halves.
The drunken boy had already removed the face-changing technique. He came to Shen Wuyan's side and said to his secretary, "Master, that man used the sword technique of the Lingyun Sect."
Shen Wuyan frowned, his expression became more solemn. He pursed his lips lightly, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
After Song Mingyi disappeared, he took the Snow Wolf with him. The Snow Wolf was familiar with Song Mingyi's scent, making it easier to track him. Therefore, the Snow Wolf did not take the airship back and saved his life.
Normally, snow wolves are very well-behaved; after all, they are intelligent creatures. But at this moment, the snow wolf disobeyed the call and came out on its own.
After coming out, it was extremely excited and even wagged its tail at the man in black. Pets only wag their tails at their owners.
The look on Xuelang's face showed that he had mistaken the man in black for Song Mingyi, and that man in black also knew the swordsmanship of the Lingyun Sect...
Shen Wuyan was panicking inside, but his expression became even more sullen. He nodded and said:
"I see. Catch him alive."
"Okay." Xiao Jing nodded.
With the combined efforts of the master and disciple, the man in black was definitely no match for them. The man in black was defeated step by step and was finally forced into a desperate situation by the master and disciple.
But even so, the man in black refused to surrender. Instead, there was a look of determination in his eyes, as if he was determined to fight to the death.
Xiao Jing looked at Shen Wuyan, "Master?"
Shen Wuyan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
The leader of the Monster Management Bureau watched from the side, feeling anxious: What is the Immortal Lord waiting for? Just destroy it immediately. Such a disaster should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.
Shen Wuyan released his lips, "Don't hurt him, let him go."
Leader of the Monster Management Bureau: “……?”
What does this mean, Immortal Venerable?
That's the murderer, why did you just let him go?
Shen Wuyan was speechless for a long time as he looked at the direction the man in black left. Xiao Jing walked up to Shen Wuyan and asked, "Master, that man?"
Shen Wuyan asked: "Did you see his eyes clearly just now?"
Xiao Jing nodded. "It's cloudy and dull, not like... a living thing."
Shen Wuyan also saw that those eyes usually contained a hearty smile, as if they were born to smile, without any worries or troubles.
But the pair of eyes he saw just now were cloudy, dull and without luster, like those of a living dead.
The leader of the Monster Management Bureau slowly approached and asked carefully, "Xian Zun, why did you let him go? Didn't you catch him?"
Just now, Shen Wuyan and the others were using a secret technique to transmit sound, and the Monster Management Bureau couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
The reason why Shen Wuyan and the others used secret telepathy was because they were worried that the man was really Song Mingyi, and they needed to protect Song Mingyi's reputation.
Xiao Jing turned his head and looked at the leader of the Monster Management Bureau, his expression was stern and his eyes were sharp, "Master has his own reasons. How can you interfere?"
The leader of the Monster Management Bureau shuddered in his heart, "Please forgive me, Immortal Lord. I was just curious."
Shen Wuyan looked at the leader of the Monster Management Bureau who was frightened by Xiao Jing, and said in a gentle tone:
"That's fine. I'll make my own arrangements. You don't have to worry."
"Yes." The Monster Management Bureau responded tremblingly.
After returning, Shen Wuyan cast a soundproof barrier in the room and then contacted Zhuang Shaohua.
"What?" Zhuang Shaohua jumped up from his seat in shock. "You saw Junior Brother Song? Where is he?"
Shen Wuyan frowned and said, "It should be Senior Brother Song. Xuelang recognized him. When he left, I put a tracking spell on him. Senior Brother... do you want to come over?"
"Yes." Zhuang Shaohua hung up the call without saying anything.
After a while, Zhuang Shaohua appeared in Shen Wuyan's room.
As soon as Zhuang Shaohua arrived, he said in a hurry: "There is no time to waste, let's go now."
Shen Wuyan had the same idea, and the two of them hit it off immediately.
Shen Wuyan formed seals with his fingers and cast a spell. In the blink of an eye, a golden line floating in the air appeared in front of his eyes.
"Brother, this way."
