Chapter 493: Chapter 455 Arrangement

The interior and exterior of Beiyed County were distinctly different: the former had some flying locusts, but they came and went, never approaching the city.

The latter, however, was completely overrun by locusts and was no longer fit for human habitation.

However, there was one unpleasant aspect of Beiyed County: to repel the locusts, Poison Frog Trees were planted all over the city. The flowers of this tree had a scent that repelled insects but was so pungent that people did not want to come near.

So, as soon as they entered the city, the Cui’er sisters almost had to cover their noses.

All three transformed into tunneling light and appeared at the Su family’s doorstep in an instant.

When the three visited the Su family, several Golden Core Cultivators from the Su family had already reacted and appeared vigilantly.

Wang Yanyu was the first to recognize Tian Lin, flying out from the backyard and calling out, "Brother Tian!"

Tian Lin didn’t exchange pleasantries with her and directly asked, "I went to Mei Xianfu’s village, but there was no trace of Mei Xianfu. Everyone in the village was dead. Where did Mei Xianfu go?"

Wang Yanyu was even more shocked than Tian Lin. She couldn’t help but look at Zhuang’er: "You deliver food to the village every month; have you noticed anything unusual?"

Zhuang’er shook his head quickly: "At the beginning of the month, I went to the village; everything was fine then. I hadn’t heard of Miss Mei planning to leave, nor did I notice anything unusual."

"That’s right! It’s not safe outside the city now! Besides the locust plague, evil spirits have gradually invaded Beiyed County. Could it be that Senior Sister Mei encountered an evil spirit?"

Tian Lin couldn’t help but say, "How powerful are these evil spirits now? Could they have made it impossible for Senior Sister Mei to escape?"

We must understand that Mei Xianfu wields the Divine Lady Tree. Unless faced with a Nascent Soul powerhouse, ordinary people are no match for Mei Xianfu.

Although the evil spirits are rampant now, Nascent Soul-level evil spirits shouldn’t appear in Beiyed County.

In other words, if there are Nascent Soul-level evil spirits in Beiyed County and Master Kong Wu doesn’t intervene, the entire county would have no chance of survival.

"Since even you don’t know Senior Sister Mei’s whereabouts, it means she encountered an unexpected situation."

Tian Lin frowned, contemplating Mei Xianfu’s enemies and the evil spirit situation in Beiyed County—

Unfortunately, he has been in ’seclusion’ in the underground space in recent years, completely unaware of the outside world.

After a moment, Tian Lin cupped his hands to Wang Yanyu, saying: "This is the Su family’s territory. Please, Senior Sister Wang and the elders, send some men to search for Senior Sister Mei’s whereabouts."

The elders were reluctant, but Mei Xianfu was a true disciple of the Wenda Sect and had a grandfather who was an elder in the Goddess Sect.

With Mei Xianfu’s incident in Beiyed County, they couldn’t disentangle themselves from the situation, nor could they openly refuse Tian Lin’s request.

Wang Yanyu had no reluctance as she frowned and said, "This doesn’t require Brother Tian’s instruction. I will indeed strive with all my strength to find Senior Sister Mei’s whereabouts—

After all, Senior Sister Mei also met this disaster to protect the people of Beiyed County."

After speaking, she turned to Zhuang’er and said, "Go post notices now, offering food as a reward to anyone brave enough to venture out and search for Mei Xianfu."

She also told the elders, "Didn’t some of the disciples in the clan say they’re bored in the city? Let them go out now, search for Mei Xianfu’s whereabouts! Whoever can find clues, the clan will richly reward them!"

Tian Lin then asked Wang Yanyu: "What about Master Kong Wu, is he in the city?"

Wang Yanyu shook her head and said, "Master Kong Wu left the county a month ago! He couldn’t bear the thought of the people outside Beiyed County being disturbed by evil spirits, so he went to the villages outside the city to search for survivors and bring them back into the city."

The fact that Mei Xianfu disappeared without a trace speaks to the opponent’s formidable strength.

Tian Lin reasoned that he was not capable of making Mei Xianfu vanish.

So even if he found the opponent, he might not be able to handle them.

If Master Kong Wu were present, the situation would be quite different.

"Does Senior Sister have a way to contact Elder Mei and Elder Xue? Such an event must be reported to the two elders."

An elder of the Su family, afraid of the Wenda Sect and Elder Mei holding them accountable, wanted to calm the situation and said, "We don’t have any clues yet—whether Mei Xianfu really encountered something or just left quietly because she couldn’t stand the solitude; we haven’t figured it out yet.

How about waiting until we clear things up before reporting?"

Before Tian Lin could object, Wang Yanyu spoke up:

"If Senior Sister Mei left on her own, that would be best! But what if something happened to her? The earlier we bring in Elder Mei or Elder Xue, the sooner we can find Miss Mei with their help—

And afraid of being blamed? Would we not report it our whole lives for fear of being blamed?"

After speaking, she assured Tian Lin: "I will immediately send someone through the Transmission Array to send word to the Wenda Sect and the Goddess Sect."

Seeing she had everything arranged, Tian Lin said, "If there is any news, please notify me as soon as possible, Senior Sister Wang. I can’t stay in the city, so I’ll leave Yu’er in the city—"

After saying that, he took Cui’er out of the city.

Taking Cui’er out of the city was to have someone to fill in the gaps during the search.

Leaving Yu’er in the city was to supervise the Su family, to see if what Wang Yanyu said earlier was true. To see if the Su family was sincere in the search!

Though, if the Su family and Wang Yanyu were insincere, it would be hard for Yu’er to detect it.

But with Yu’er present, the Su family would feel the pressure, and even if it was just for show, they’d send people out of the city to search.

"Along the way, we didn’t encounter any evil spirits. It’s hard to imagine what kind of evil spirits could capture Miss Mei."

Cui’er didn’t believe Wang Yanyu’s claim about evil spirits, so she said, "Could it be the Tang family causing trouble?"

Wang Yanyu once killed Tang Zhi’s son, and Tang Zhi’s wife also died at Tian Lin’s hands.

Tian Lin never believed that Tang Zhi could be so magnanimous until later Tang Zhi even helped Wang Yanyu and Tian Lin become true disciples of the Wenda Sect—

But having killed his son and wife, despite Tang Zhi’s performance as a saint, Tian Lin still didn’t trust Tang Zhi.

Hearing Cui’er bring it up, he ambiguously said, "I heard Tang Zhi has already achieved Nascent Soul Cultivation. Once Elder Xue arrives, we’ll inquire about Tang Zhi’s whereabouts, and then we’ll see if he has anything to do with this affair."

Initially, Tian Lin would use True Qi to drive away the locusts when traveling back and forth to Beiyed County’s county town.

But now he no longer had the patience, smashing through the insects as he traveled, instantly turning them into powder.

What harm this might bring to Beiyed County and the world? Tian Lin was beyond caring.

It’s important to know that Mei Xianfu remained in the village due to Tian Lin’s efforts.

If his actions caused Mei Xianfu’s demise, he wondered whether Elder Mei would kill him, but he could hardly forgive himself.

Soon, the master and servant returned, arriving once more at the Divine Temple where Mei Xianfu had originally been.
