Chapter 676: Chapter 256: Saintess Yu’s Jaw Drops! Visiting Prince Yu Mansion!_2

"Miss, you are too courteous." Chen Mo slightly nodded, then asked, "I heard from Saintess Yu about the general situation, what exactly happened?"

Qiao Tong struggled to avert her gaze from that handsome face and replied, "It’s like this: in response to the court’s summons, besides the Saintess, the sect sent two direct disciples to the Capital City for study and observation. However, we don’t usually live together..."

"They usually arrive on time for classes at the Imperial College, but they were noticeably absent the day before yesterday."

"When I received the news and came to check, I found the place deserted, and the communication talisman couldn’t reach them either."

"The point is, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Based on what I know, in the past few days, other sects have also had disciples go missing, and the circumstances are all very similar..."

As Qiao Tong recounted the situation, Chen Mo’s gaze roved around the courtyard, with a glint of purple-gold light in his eyes.

Observing for a long time, he did not notice anything unusual.

No signs of a struggle, nor any lingering aura, as if they had vanished into thin air.

"Let’s check inside."

Chen Mo walked through the courtyard and entered a bedroom.

The sheets were spread across the bed, looking slightly untidy.

He opened the wardrobe, which was filled with clothes.

"If they had just gone to a nearby town, there shouldn’t be silence for two days; but if they were on a long journey, why would they leave without packing any luggage?"

"Nine times out of ten, something has happened..."

Yu Hongyin looked somewhat worried.

Chen Mo glanced around and asked, "Was there any witness or unusual noises that night?"

Qiao Tong shook her head, "We’ve already asked around door-to-door in the vicinity, but found no useful clues."

Chen Mo asked again, "What level are the two who disappeared? Have there been any recent disputes with others?"

Qiao Tong answered, "Both are fifth-grade cultivators, generally well-liked, and no reported conflicts."

Chen Mo pondered silently.

This case seems a bit tricky...

Most importantly, the motive of the perpetrator is unclear... Who would target sect disciples, and for what purpose?

"Meow~"

At this moment, the cat stretched lazily.

It reached out with a little paw and tugged at Chen Mo’s collar, wanting him to play for a while.

Seeing he ignored it, feeling somewhat bored, it jumped down from his shoulder and began wandering around the room.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and took out a bronze candle lamp from the storage ring.

He rubbed his fingertip, igniting the lamp’s wick, and placed it on the table.

This soul summoning lamp was seized from Ghost Cultivator You Daoist; once the candle is lit, it automatically attracts nearby wandering souls.

He waited for a while, but there was no motion.

"It seems the two most likely aren’t dead, at least not in this room."

Though this was good news, it also meant the last clue was lost.

Yu Hongyin breathed a sigh of relief.
