Chapter 970: Chapter 969: Xiaoyun Isn’t Dead?

Actually, Yusuf Zuck had returned this time only to give himself an explanation. He knew that this return would likely yield nothing.

After all, three thousand eight hundred years had passed, and Ember Vance was most likely dead, her bones possibly fossilized. Thus, he merely sought some peace of mind.

The first day after returning, he began using the process of elimination to trace Ember Vance’s trails from those years ago, and called out Lily Case, asking Lily Case to lead him to the location where she had received Ember Vance’s message years ago.

The Message Jade Disc was not omnipotent, and it had a distance radius. Beyond the radius of the disc, messages could not be received. Since messages from Ember Vance were received back then, it indicated that Ember Vance was actually not far from Lily Case.

Yusuf Zuck had never been to the Eastern Continent, but he discovered that the world he used to live in was incredibly vast; his Telekinesis could not encompass the entire Eastern Continent.

The Eastern Continent, Pine Mountain. This was the position where Lily Case had been located back then when she received the message from Ember Vance.

Lily Case told him that the maximum distance of her Message Jade Disc would not exceed ten million miles. That is to say, Vance was within ten million miles from Pine Mountain.

Once Yusuf Zuck confirmed and narrowed the search range, the rest of the time was spent releasing people like Landyn Torres, Diego Jacobs, Russ Trujillo, and a few demons proficient in finding persons, spreading out in different directions.

He wasn’t looking for a living person; he wanted to inquire about some news from back then or places Ember Vance had been.

However, a month later, he gained nothing and neither did the others.

In fact, including Landyn Torres, everyone knew that no matter how much they searched, they wouldn’t find her, but seeing Yusuf Zuck so determined, they couldn’t bear to see him sad and wanted to help him fulfill this unfinished wish.

Another month passed, all the people he had sent out, apart from Oakley Vance, had returned to Pine Mountain, including Yusuf Zuck himself.

Oakley Vance had spent a lot of time with Ember Vance years ago so he was particularly familiar with her. Even though Oakley was blind and mute, his ability to find people and objects was unmatched in the world. Yusuf remembered that back then, no one could enter Chicken Mountain; no one knew what was inside, but Oakley could sneak in and miraculously found Chicken Mountain’s Green Bead.

Concerning this, Yusuf had always been curious how Oakley found it, but Oakley couldn’t speak, so he had never gotten an answer.

Even now, though Oakley could communicate with Divine Sense, sometimes when you spoke to him, he would still not respond. He was the type that couldn’t be coaxed into saying anything.

And now, just like back then, Oakley had disappeared!

"What happened? Where’s Oakley?" Yusuf looked at Landyn Torres, because all the others had returned according to the agreed time, so why hadn’t Oakley? Moreover... Oakley was not even within his Telekinesis?

Not just within these ten million miles, after Yusuf extended his Telekinesis fully, he still could not find any trace of Oakley.

"He disappeared three days ago, at the Boundless Marsh," Landyn frowned. "I’ve already looked for him. Divine Sense can’t be used underground at Boundless Marsh, so I’m not sure exactly where he is!"

"Let’s go, take a look!" Yusuf immediately led everyone to the Boundless Marsh.

The Boundless Marsh was an inland marsh on the Eastern Continent. Despite its name suggesting limitless, it did have boundaries; it was just quite large.

After Yusuf and Landyn quickly reached the Boundless Marsh, they began roaming high above it.

Since Divine Sense couldn’t be used underground at the Boundless Marsh, nobody knew what was at the bottom of the marsh.

Three days later, just as the two were about to also dive into the depths of the marsh to search, suddenly, Oakley Vance emerged. He burst out from the muddy bottom of the marsh; although covered in mud, he appeared excited!

"Ahhhh~" He quickly darted in front of Yusuf Zuck, holding a ring and continuously exclaiming, gesturing non-stop!

"Is it Ember’s ring?" Yusuf Zuck’s mind roared, could he actually find her relic?

"Where did you find it?" Yusuf Zuck immediately snatched the ring and, after probing it with his Divine Sense, indeed saw some...some things used by Ember Vance, including two mobile phones, a pistol, and even police uniforms.

Nothing was damaged, all preserved intact.

"Swoosh~" Zhang the blind boy dived back into the mud.

Knowing that Zhang the blind boy was leading him, Yusuf Zuck thoughtlessly charged in as well.

At this moment, he was incredibly excited; originally, he had only planned to fulfill a wish for some peace of mind, but a miracle had actually occurred, brought to him by the blind boy.

"Huh~" Below the swamp, the mud was thick, and there was no path at all, but the boy ahead kept burrowing through, and Yusuf Zuck closely followed him.

Landyn Torres also followed, filled with immense curiosity. It had been over three thousand eight hundred years, how could the blind boy locate precisely where Ember Vance had disappeared? This was utterly magical!

In fact, there were still many secrets and unknowns about the blind boy, such as why did he have some peculiar Innate Divine Abilities? And whose legacy were these abilities?

These were all unknowns.

After diving about one hundred meters, they encountered underground water, and upon entering the water, the blind boy continued to dive deeper, finally entering a natural cave entrance.

"Huh!" Upon entering, Yusuf Zuck was surprised to find that it was another world inside, where one could walk upright.

After walking approximately a hundred meters or so, a circular cave appeared, and within this cave were three skeletons, decayed to the point of only bones remaining, but Yusuf Zuck still recognized at a glance that they were two men and one woman!

"Ember!" Yusuf Zuck’s mind exploded with the thought, could these bones belong to Ember Vance?

"Hmm? Wait, that skeleton’s finger has a ring!" Yusuf Zuck compared and saw that on the female skeleton’s finger was a Space Ring, while the blind boy suddenly walked to a corner and then picked up an arm bone.

"Ahhhh..." He gestured with the ring, pointing at this arm, indicating that this was Ember Vance’s arm, and her ring had been taken off from this arm!

"She’s not dead!" At that moment, Landyn Torres suddenly exclaimed with sparkling insight, "She was only cut off an arm. After she left a message for Lily Case, she must have entered inside, and the other three were her pursuers. When they reached here, they cut off her arm. Moreover, this place must be someone’s place of retreat." Landyn Torres lifted his eyes to look at the rune carvings on the cave ceiling, his insight sparkling continually, "Grand Circulation runes, who was cultivating here?"

"What Grand Circulation runes?" Yusuf Zuck asked urgently.

"You don’t need to know about this, but your Ember Vance must not have died." He glanced again at the three skeletons, then added, "From the skeletons, there are no external injuries on their bodies, all bones are connected perfectly intact, which can only prove one point, they were killed by soul shattering!"

"And Ember Vance back then definitely couldn’t do this, so someone else must have helped her."

"Where did she go then? Why didn’t she take her severed arm and Space Ring?" Yusuf Zuck asked frantically.

"It’s hard to speculate about that. However, I might know the person who was cultivating here. I’ll look for him if I get a chance, and then everything will be crystal clear!" Landyn Torres said with his eyes gleaming.
