Yue Hai was extremely annoyed.
He couldn't even protect his own friends, and this wasn't the first time it had happened, which was why he hadn't dared to return. As long as there was a shred of hope, he wanted to find the person back on his own!
Only after listening to Li Chonglou's words did he realize the seriousness of the problem.
If even the reason for their return was a lie, what else were they capable of?
Yue Hai, belatedly realizing this, quickly said, "Brother Li, what do we do now?"
"Don't rush. It's been delayed for so long anyway."
He returned to the hall, now calm. This time, it was Yue Hai's turn to be anxious.
"Brother Li, why don't we try to force our way in? If I go all out, I can barely hold off two fourth-layer cultivators."
This guy had already started thinking about dividing the numbers. Li Chonglou rolled his eyes, "If that's the case, why don't I just call people over?"
Yue Hai was stunned, but he shook his head, "Brother Li, if possible, let's not call them, okay? I was still thinking of helping you keep an eye on things. If they knew about this, all my authority would be gone."
"Uh, I mean, there's no need to rush into action. Tell me, how long has it been since the incident?"
Li Chonglou brought the topic back to the main point. Yue Hai thought for a moment, "It was the afternoon of the day before yesterday. Yesterday, I was still guarding their exit, but I was driven back again."
Li Chonglou asked doubtfully, "Then why didn't anyone know you when I came in?"
"I didn't really make a move, I was just hiding on the side."
Li Chonglou understood now. No wonder the security guards and even Sister Qing had never heard of Yue Hai's name. He was being targeted by the higher-ups of the Yu family.
After stroking his chin for a moment, Li Chonglou still felt that he needed to confirm Yu Ke's safety first.
His primary objective in going to Wushan Town was to help Yu Ke solve her problems. If something had already happened to her, then no matter how much he did afterward, it would be futile.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou stood up directly.
"You wait here for me. I'll confirm Yu Ke's safety."
Yue Hai was stunned.
"Brother Li, how will you confirm? Can I help?"
The matter of the Heavenly Eye's perspective ability was currently only known to the souls in the soul bottle. His close associates, even Zhou Tong, didn't know about it, let alone Yue Hai.
Li Chonglou shook his head, "No, you just wait for me here. Don't run around anymore. I have a way to confirm it."
Li Chonglou didn't explain and then left Yue Hai's temporary residence, going out into the small path outside.
Although the entire Yu family headquarters did not occupy a very large area, there were quite a few paths for pedestrians, with a passage almost every ten meters.
However, at this moment, there was no one around, not a trace of life.
He didn't know if it was originally like this, or if it was because of the recent events in the Yu family. In any case, the entire place felt dead and stagnant.
After all, this was the headquarters of one of the eight great families. It should have been the most prosperous place, but the reality was not like this.
Li Chonglou, who had walked out, suddenly had an intuition that the events that had befallen the Yu family were likely more serious than he had imagined!
But the most important thing now was to find the person.
The resting area where Yue Hai was located was separated from the main area by a wall. When he took the sightseeing car earlier, if Li Chonglou circled around, he could have seen the entire headquarters.
Therefore, confirming Yu Ke's whereabouts was not difficult for Li Chonglou.
"Senior Caihong, I'll have to trouble you again."
Li Chonglou greeted Caihong and then resumed his Heavenly Eye's perspective ability.
This time, he focused his gaze on the so-called central area and began to circle around.
However, because Yue Hai had warned him that the Yu family also had experts in the circle, Li Chonglou deliberately restrained his aura. As long as Qingyang didn't see him, he wouldn't be noticed even if he was right beside them!
Within a few minutes, Li Chonglou stopped by a man-made lake, his eyes filled with joy.
He found Yu Ke. She was currently sitting in a room with a look of annoyance on her face.
"It seems there will be no immediate danger."
Li Chonglou glanced at the surroundings of where Yu Ke was located. There were people guarding the entrance, and besides that, there was a man sitting on the first floor.
Although they were some distance away, Li Chonglou's intuition told him that this person should also be from the circle.
This meant that the person truly guarding Yu Ke should be this man.
This was also why Li Chonglou felt relieved.
People from their circle typically wouldn't make a move on ordinary people!
Of course, the incident in the parking lot earlier was purely because the other party was courting death. This "typically" referred to not actively seeking trouble!
"Let's go back and discuss a plan."
Li Chonglou breathed a sigh of relief and planned to return.
Yu Ke was, after all, a member of the Yu family, and this was their family affair. Many times, even if he wanted to intervene, he had to find a good reason.
Otherwise, he would be doing good deeds with bad intentions, and in the end, he wouldn't be able to clarify himself even if he were in the right!
However, just as he was about to retract his Heavenly Eye's perspective ability, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Qing Ge?"
Li Chonglou's expression froze. The person in his vision was Lin Qing, with whom he had just shared a meal!
Moreover, the other party looked very cautious, walking along a small path and looking around left and right.
"What is he doing?"
Li Chonglou's curiosity was immediately piqued. When he interacted with Lin Qing previously, the other party gave him the impression of a scholar, appearing refined in both speech and actions.
He didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.
But this current behavior was clearly not the case. Out of curiosity, Li Chonglou did not retract his ability and continued to follow Lin Qing's movements.
Until he arrived at an underground parking lot.
An even more astonishing scene appeared. A figure suddenly emerged, wearing a black robe, with a five-pointed star pattern engraved on the hat he wore on his head.
The moment Li Chonglou saw this pattern, he thought of the Divine Envoy Organization.
If he remembered correctly, the same pattern had appeared on the leader of those grey-clothed men before!
Qing Ge has a connection with the Divine Envoy Organization?
Li Chonglou was instantly shocked because Lin Qing, no matter how he looked at it, did not seem like someone from the circle, nor did he exude any aura of curse power.
Then how did he get involved with the Divine Envoy Organization?
Unfortunately, they were too far apart, and Li Chonglou could only see, not hear, what they were talking about.
Moreover, their conversation was not long. After a few minutes, the other party completely disappeared, and even he couldn't capture the other party's figure!
"At least a peak fourth-layer cultivator!"
Li Chonglou's expression was solemn. His Heavenly Eye's perspective ability could capture figures below the fifth layer. Although it would be affected by the penetrating object, figures around the fourth layer should not be a problem.
But this one was completely undetectable!
Guessing he was a peak fourth-layer cultivator was a conservative estimate!
