C478 No One Could be Seen Alive No Dead Body

Four o'clock, the time when people are most familiar with sleep, and the three of them have not found any abnormalities along the way, any abnormalities, any suspicious people, No, it should be said that they did not even meet anyone.

This wasn't a good sign. The three of them were getting more and more nervous and uneasy. By the time the three of them arrived at Tao Prefecture, which was the place where Nian Zhengying and the old man were settled, it was already the fifth night. It was dawn, and the horizon was suffused with strands of red light.

The doors of the Tao Residence were tightly shut, and everything was as per usual.

Lin Yuhan slowly walked to the door and gently knocked on the door twice. However, after a long time, nothing happened in the yard. No one asked or said anything. "Uncle Li?" Lin Yuhan called out softly, "Uncle Zhao?" No one answered. Lin Yuhan frowned. With a worried expression, he turned around to look at Lin Yuchen. He then looked at Zhu Yongzhen. "No one. . . "

"That shouldn't be the case. " Lin Yuchen pondered.

"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look!" Zhu Yongzhen said. He jumped onto the wall and landed on the ground. Lin Yuchen and Lin Yuhan followed him.

There was no one in the courtyard, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Even Old Zhao and Old Li, who lived in the gatehouse, were gone. Not to mention Liu Cheng and the other disciples of the Sword Sect. No one could be seen in their lives, no corpses, no signs of fighting, and no suspicious places. However, there was no one, not a single person.

When he saw this scene, Lin Yuchen's heart skipped a beat. It was no longer as simple as it seemed. Without any time to think, he leapt into the air and dashed towards the back garden at his fastest speed. Lin Yuhan and Zhu Yongzhen also followed behind him.

It was as quiet as death. From the beginning to the end, he didn't see a single person, nor did he make any strange sounds, until he arrived at the dungeon where Nian Zhengying was placed.

The cell door was tightly shut and the surroundings were well disguised. There were still no signs of fighting or conflict in the surroundings, but there was not a single shadow of a person.

Lin Yuchen opened the mechanism. To be safe, he left Zhu Yongzhen outside the cell to watch while Lin Yuchen and Lin Yuhan went into the dungeon.

The dungeon wasn't big, and the layout was simple. The dark lights made it seem very spacious. The chain and the large lock on the prison door were still tightly tied to the door. They were completely undamaged. However, Nian Zhengying was nowhere to be found. Lin Yuhan and Lin Yuchen wanted to find some clues, but after a round of investigation, they found nothing.

Helpless, they could only leave the dungeon.

"Is he gone?" Zhu Yongzhen hurriedly asked. He looked at the two of them, then subconsciously looked behind them.

Lin Yuchen and Lin Yuhan shook their heads.

"This?" Zhu Yongzhen could not help but turn around and look at the empty courtyard. He was both anxious and helpless. He did not know what to do. He thought of more than ten thousand possibilities, and even the worst possible outcome. But he didn't expect it to be like this. In one night. . . Everyone disappeared, disappearing from the face of the earth. Not a single one was left, not even a single trace was left behind.

Lin Yuhan stood in the same spot, not saying a word for a long time.

"Could it be a gang of bandits?" Lin Yuchen asked.

"Who else could it be?" Zhu Yongzhen was furious. "He did it so flawlessly and without leaving any traces behind. In Jiang City, who else could have such ability besides the gangs? Besides, what's the point of others sending the elderly to their deaths? "

"But if it's the gangs, it's fine if they robbed the elders last year. " Lin Yuchen asked again, "Why? Why did Liu Xiangzhu and the others disappear as well?"

"I will kill them to silence them. . . " Zhu Yongzhen could not help taking a deep breath as he spoke. He was furious. "If Moo Jianghai really took this step, I will be irreconcilable with him!"

"Eh, the matter hasn't been clarified yet. Let's not jump to conclusions yet. " Lin Yuhan said, "Besides, we don't have any solid evidence that this was done by the gangs. "

"What evidence do we need?" Zhu Yongzhen said sternly. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a long time, he finally calmed down and looked at Lin Yuhan again. "What do you think we should do now?"

"Don't make any noise. Martial Uncle, go and inform Big Senior Brother and all the other disciples. Yuchen and I will continue to search here and see if we can find any clues. "

"That's the only way. " Zhu Yongzhen replied, "Be careful then. "

"Alright then. " Lin Yuhan and Lin Yuchen both nodded their heads.

Looking at Zhu Yongzhen's back, Lin Yuhan sighed. He said in a low voice, "It's my fault. I didn't arrange it well. The two places were so far away, and the Jiang City had become a chaotic place. How could I let Liu Xiangzhu come here to pick them up in the middle of the night? Obviously, we should come here together. . . Sigh! If something really happened to Liu Xiangzhu and the old man. . . "

" Second Brother, don't think about it. " Seeing this, Lin Yuchen quickly comforted," It's hard to predict the future. Who would have thought that it would be like this? Besides, didn't you also say that before the matter is clarified, don't make a judgement. You are now heavily injured. You must not get angry. "

As soon as Lin Yuchen finished speaking, he saw Lin Yuhan suddenly cover his Dantian. His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was ferocious.

"Second Brother. " Lin Yuchen immediately grabbed Lin Yuhan and said, "Why don't you sit down? I will help you heal your injuries. "

Lin Yuhan did not say anything. He slowly raised his hand to support Lin Yuchen. He took a deep breath and stood up with difficulty. "Now is not the time. "

"Second Brother, this, actually. . . Sigh!" He sighed and wanted to say something.

"Let's go and see if there is anything suspicious left in the surroundings. " Lin Yuhan said and slowly walked forward.

The two of them spent another half an hour searching the courtyard. From the garden to the backyard, and the front yard, there was also a room where the disciples of the Sword Sect lived. The room where Old Liu lived, the courtyard, and the room. In the hall, under the hall, in front of the corridor, there were many corners, but they still found nothing.

The two of them had no choice but to leave the Tao Mansion and search the surroundings of the Tao Mansion. They searched every corner of the street within two miles, but still made no progress.

They were planning to try their luck with the little white dragon, but as expected, the moment the little white dragon jumped out of the Tao Mansion, they could only stare blankly.

Seeing that their search was fruitless, the two of them could only return back the way they came. Firstly, they wanted to see if there were any suspicious signs along the way. As for the two of them, there was no point in staying in the Tao Residence anymore. Time was of the essence, and it was a matter of great importance. They could not just sit and wait for death. . .

It was just dawn and there were not many people on the road. The two of them did not walk fast and deliberately kept a certain distance from each other, afraid that they would miss out on any clues. . .
