Chapter 1378: Chapter 676: Nanqi City! Strange Events! Demonic Beast Crimson Blood! _2
So, they followed the young noble out of the tea house.
Along the way, the young noble kept introducing the scenic spots and specialty foods of Nanqi City to them, but Luo Chen and Liang Qi listened absentmindedly. They knew that this young noble would not invite them to play so simply, there was surely some ulterior motive behind it.
Sure enough, when they arrived in front of a luxurious mansion, the young noble’s expression suddenly became serious.
He turned to Luo Chen and Liang Qi and said, "Gentlemen, this is my family’s residence. Today I have invited you here because there is actually something important I would like to ask for your help with."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Liang Qi’s hearts froze.
They knew this young noble had finally revealed his true motive.
But they also understood that there was no way out now, they could only face it head-on.
The young noble continued, "A strange event has happened in my home recently, every night someone inexplicably disappears. Despite my deploying people to investigate for a long time, I couldn’t find any clues. I heard that you two are cultivators with extraordinary abilities, so I wanted to ask for your help to find out the truth of the matter."
Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged glances.
They were surprised that the young noble actually knew their identities, and even more surprised that he would ask them to investigate a case.
But they also knew that since they have already entered this situation, withdrawing fully would not be easy.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Chen decided to probe the other party’s background, and spoke up, "Master, you flatter us, we are but minor talents, not worthy of the title of cultivators. However, since you are asking for our help, we will naturally try our best to assist. But this matter sounds quite strange, I wonder if you would be willing to tell us the details?"
The young noble saw that Luo Chen did not outright refuse, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Please come with me."
With that, he led Luo Chen and Liang Qi into the mansion.
Inside the mansion, pavilions and towers, carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an atmosphere of luxury.
However, beneath this luxury, there was a faint sense of unease and oppression.
The young noble led them through one corridor after another, finally arriving at a secluded courtyard.
"Here is the place where my missing house servants last appeared."
Luo Chen looked around, only to see lush vegetation in the courtyard, but within this vitality, it seemed to hide some unknown secret.
He closed his eyes, activated his spiritual power, trying to sense any anomalies around.
However, to his surprise, aside from the normal spiritual energy fluctuations, there was no abnormal aura here.
"Brother Liang, do you feel anything?"
Liang Qi shook his head, frowning, "No, everything here is normal, but it is precisely this normalcy that makes me uneasy. Perhaps we need to wait until nightfall to discover any clues."
The young noble, hearing this, showed a trace of anxiety on his face, "But, I can’t wait any longer. With each passing day, more people may encounter misfortune. I earnestly implore you both to quickly uncover the truth and save those missing people."
Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a glance, seeing determination and resolve in each other’s eyes.
They knew that this was not just to help this young noble, but also to unveil the hidden truth, to protect the peace of this land.
"Rest assured, we will do our utmost."
So they decided to stay at the mansion, waiting for the night to come.
Dusk fell, silence enveloped everything, and the entire mansion was immersed in stillness.
Yet, beneath this tranquility, unknown threats lurked.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi held their breath and cautiously moved through every corner of the mansion.
They knew this was the time when those disappearance incidents occurred, they must remain vigilant at all times.
Suddenly, a faint sound of wind caught their attention.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged glances and immediately pursued it.
They passed through several corridors, and finally arrived at the previously secluded courtyard.
By now, the scene within the courtyard had undergone a complete transformation.
In one corner of the courtyard, a blurred silhouette was slowly emerging.
"Who is it?"
Luo Chen shouted, his spiritual power surged, his body shot forward, rushing straight toward the blurred silhouette.
However, as he approached the figure, he realized it was not a person, but a giant demonic beast.
The demonic beast was covered entirely in blood-red scales, its eyes blazing like torches, its mouth exposing sharp fangs, appearing tremendously fierce.
"Is this... the Demonic Beast Chixue?"
Liang Qi exclaimed, apparently recognizing the identity of the demonic beast, "How could it appear here? Could it be that the missing people were all harmed by it?"
Luo Chen did not answer, his gaze fixed on the Demonic Beast Chixue, filled with vigilance.
He knew the demonic beast’s strength was extraordinary, he must deal with it carefully.
The Demonic Beast Chixue seemed to also feel threatened by Luo Chen and Liang Qi, letting out an ear-shattering roar, its form suddenly expanded several times, standing like a small mountain in the courtyard.
