Wu Tian drove very fast, arriving at Zhou Qian's home nearly half an hour earlier than usual.
He was a familiar face here, so he didn't bother with any greetings and rushed straight in.
Zhou Qian's parents were at home.
Wu Tian burst in and asked, "Uncle, Aunt, is Zhou Qian at home?"
But he froze as soon as he asked, realizing the atmosphere in the living room was incredibly eerie, a silence that was almost terrifying.
His urgent mood instantly cooled.
Then, with a look of surprise, he asked, "Uncle, Aunt, what's wrong with you two?"
His uncle glanced at him silently, then said with a slightly hoarse voice, "Wu Tian, you're here. Please, sit down."
Wu Tian became even more suspicious.
Given how much his uncle and aunt doted on him, they would have been very enthusiastic upon seeing him.
But the current situation was truly strange, very strange.
He slowly walked over and noticed that his aunt's eyes were red, and she appeared completely dazed, as if she had suffered a severe shock.
His pupils widened slightly, and he quietly asked his uncle, "Uncle, what's wrong with Aunt?"
His uncle sighed and said, "Ever since Qianqian was taken away, she's been mentally unwell and hasn't spoken a word."
"Zhou Qian was taken away?!" Hearing this, Wu Tian was greatly shocked.
"What on earth is going on?"
"How could she have been taken away out of the blue? Who took her?"
His uncle sighed again, looking as if he didn't want to recall the painful past, and didn't answer.
Wu Tian knew that his uncle's mental state couldn't be much better.
To find out what happened, he subtly moved his wrist, and two silver needles immediately appeared in his hand.
He then shot the needles out, their tips sinking into the glabella of both his uncle and aunt.
In an instant, their bodies trembled, and their previously dazed eyes finally regained their focus.
His uncle looked at Wu Tian in shock and said, "Wu Tian? Why are you here!"
Wu Tian replied, "I just returned from abroad, but I couldn't find Zhou Qian, so I wanted to ask you what happened?"
His aunt suddenly grabbed Wu Tian's arm, saying anxiously, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, you're finally here!"
"If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have known what to do!"
"You must bring Qianqian back, otherwise, Qianqian, Qianqian will surely be in danger!"
Wu Tian retracted the silver needles and said soothingly, "Aunt, please calm down. Tell me what happened."
"Who took Zhou Qian away?"
"When was she taken? Tell me everything, without missing any details!"
His uncle said, "Let me tell you. Two days ago, Qianqian said she wasn't feeling well, so she wanted to come home for a couple of days."
"She was fine at first, but by evening, her body temperature kept dropping, and she finally passed out."
"But just as we were about to call an ambulance, a group of people burst into our house and tried to take Qianqian away without asking any questions."
"They weren't ordinary people; they seemed to know magic. We couldn't stop them at all."
"Then Qianqian was taken away."
Hearing his uncle's words, Wu Tian's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
People who knew magic?
Could it be that the other party were cultivators?
But Zhou Qian was clearly just an ordinary person!
If she was an ordinary person, why would cultivators cause trouble for her?
Could it be that those people were looking for trouble with him, but found Zhou Qian instead, and wanted to use her to threaten him?
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the stranger it felt.
But in any case, anything related to cultivators would definitely not be simple.
And it was also extremely dangerous!
All he could do now was pray that Zhou Qian was still safe!
Thinking this, Wu Tian became anxious.
He quickly asked again, "In that case, did they reveal their identities?"
"Didn't they tell you where Zhou Qian was taken?"
His uncle said, "They only said they were from the Xuanbing Sect. We don't know their exact location."
"They also said that taking Qianqian away was for a very important matter."
"But Qianqian is just a girl. What use could she possibly have?"
Wu Tian felt his mind going numb.
He had heard of the Xuanbing Sect. It wasn't a sect in the mundane world but a genuine hidden spiritual sect!
Moreover, the Xuanbing Sect was considered a rather powerful existence among the hidden spiritual sects!
But what important matter could such a sect have with Zhou Qian?
More and more questions swirled in Wu Tian's mind, causing a slight throbbing pain in his temples.
But no matter what, knowing a definite target was a stroke of luck.
So he immediately said to his uncle and aunt, "I understand. Aunt, Uncle, please don't worry. I will definitely bring Zhou Qian back."
"In the meantime, you must take care of yourselves and stay safe, understand?"
His uncle said in shock, "What did you say? Wu Tian, you want to go alone? That won't do!"
"I already told you, those people are not ordinary. If you go alone, aren't you just walking into your own death?"
Wu Tian said, "Don't worry, Uncle. No matter what, leave it to me."
"If I say I can do it, then I can definitely do it!"
"There's no time to waste. I can't stay with you any longer. You should stay home and wait for my news!"
With that, Wu Tian didn't linger and immediately drove back towards the county town.
He went to Tianbao Group and directly sought out Bai Ruoqi.
Bai Ruoqi seemed pleasantly surprised when she saw him, greeting him with a smile, "Wu Tian, you're back?"
"I've already heard about what you've been up to."
"You've truly shone on the international stage this time. Congratulations!"
Wu Tian had no interest in talking about these things with her. He pulled her onto the sofa and said directly, "Never mind that. I'm here for something very important."
"I don't care if you know this information or not, but even if you don't, you have to mobilize all your intelligence networks to help me."
"If even you don't know, then I'm truly out of options."
Bai Ruoqi was startled by Wu Tian's urgent demeanor.
She couldn't help but ask, "Wu Tian, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wu Tian recounted the matter concerning Zhou Qian, and after listening, Bai Ruoqi couldn't help but fall into a daze.
"What did you say? Xuanbing Sect? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
