Chapter 83: We Must Find Her!
"Back to my lord, my subordinates have searched hundreds of high-class nations and nearly a thousand middle-class nations near the Dongli Kingdom, yet we have not found the woman you mentioned," the city lord of the Black Territory branch reported hastily upon hearing Ye Qianxuan's question.
"No?" Ye Qiansheng's eyes narrowed.
The hazy mist veiling his face cleared instantly, revealing a face obscured by a dark golden mask.
The mask concealed most of his face, leaving only a smooth chin and a pair of thin lips visible.
Beneath the mask, Ye Qiansheng's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Have you checked thoroughly?"
"Lord, we have checked everything."
"What about the Tianyu Empire? Not even there?"
"The news from the Tianyu Empire hasn't arrived yet, but based on the feedback, it appears there's no news."
"Then expand the search! I must find her!" Ye Qiansheng commanded coldly.
He had come here personally because of Luo Qingtong.
Surprisingly, despite his formidable intelligence network in the dark domain, he was unable to locate this woman!
Who is she?
"Moreover, screen all the records of everyone who entered Dongli Kingdom before and after the incident at Jiuwu Mountain!"
He was determined to find some trace of her.
"Yes," responded the city lord of the Black Territory Branch City, his face tinged with despair.
Despite Dongli Country's lesser status, it was still bustling, with tens of thousands of people passing through daily.
Considering the vast number of people who had visited Jiuwu Mountain before and after the event only complicated matters further.
To search for a woman whose name and appearance were unknown was daunting enough. To know only that she was ostensibly blind yet could see, had low spiritual cultivation yet possessed formidable strength, and might be a weapon refiner and a spiritual formation master, seemed almost an impossible task.
The city lord of the Black Territory Branch City left with a look of resignation.
Seeing this, Bei Qing and Feng Yu turned to Ye Qiansheng and asked, "Master, has the person not been found yet?"
"No," Ye Qiansheng replied, frowning.
He had assumed that with her abilities, locating her would be straightforward.
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of her even in the superior nations.
Could he have been mistaken? Perhaps she wasn't from the Qin Dynasty but from other sacred pilgrimages?
"Let's continue the search. Master, with her reported weak capabilities, perhaps she is hidden in a nation superior to the ones we've checked, or perhaps she's being concealed deliberately," Feng Yu suggested.
"Master, didn't you say someone used a highly potent poison on her? Such a toxin isn't available to just anyone. Her whereabouts might be intentionally obscured."
"Yes! Master, if we extend our search, we will surely find her! But Master, are you sure the injury to your meridians is healing?" Bei Qing asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
They were deeply concerned about their master's injuries.
Born of his own body, they were powerless to help.
Over the years, they had tirelessly sought a remedy for their master.
It was the same this time when the master ventured to Jiuwu Mountain in Dongli Kingdom alone.
Surprisingly, the detailed intelligence they had painstakingly gathered proved useless. The master's chance encounter with a girl had somehow alleviated the injuries in his body.
But such a girl... could there have been some mistake?
