Gu Sheng glanced around, calling Huang Shan’s name while searching every corner, but he still didn’t see any sign of Huang Shan.
At that moment, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
He called out the small tripod and pushed it with his right hand, sending it flying out immediately.
The two followed it closely, circling a few times before finally stopping behind a stone.
The small tripod hovered there, buzzing clearly, indicating something.
Gu Sheng’s gaze swept over, and he quickly found a bloodstain on the ground behind the stone!
He hurriedly walked over, touched the bloodied soil, and examined it closely.
The bloodstain had not dried up, indicating that it was from today!
"Do you have anything with Huang Shan’s scent on it?"
Upon hearing this, the person nodded repeatedly.
"This handkerchief is his. He gave it to me back in the Soul Refining Cave."
Taking it, Gu Sheng immediately infused some Divine Power into the handkerchief and transferred this power onto the ground.
Soon, the result arrived: the bloodstain belonged to Huang Shan! He had been taken by someone!
Receiving this feedback, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but feel his heart sink.
Holding the handkerchief, he searched everywhere and finally found a place with both Huang Shan’s and Purple Mist Peak’s scent overlapping!
Seeing him stop, the person asked anxiously, "Brother Sheng, did you find any clues?"
"Yes, Huang Shan was taken by people from Purple Mist Peak."
Hearing this, the person’s heart jumped into their throat.
"Purple Mist Peak again! Brother Sheng, we’ve already killed several of their people, they wouldn’t... wouldn’t..."
He couldn’t finish his sentence.
Gu Sheng understood his concern, contemplated for a moment, and shook his head.
"Don’t worry, Huang Shan isn’t dead, just taken by them."
"How can you be sure?"
"Whether from the bloodstain or the overlapping scent, there are tracks of a yellow eel, indicating they only wanted to capture him alive without taking his life."
"What is their purpose?"
"Perhaps... to lure us in. Come on, let’s find the others first."
Gu Sheng turned and left, with the person quickly following.
When they hurried back, Shi Lou happily approached them.
"Brother Sheng, this is the Third Elder’s reserved wine, let’s open it today!"
After he spoke, there was not much fluctuation on Gu Sheng’s face, but rather a bit of tension.
Seeing him like this, Shi Lou realized that Huang Shan was still missing!
"Brother Sheng, where’s Huang Shan? He..."
"He’s in trouble."
As Gu Sheng spoke, everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly gathered around.
"Brother Sheng, what happened to Huang Shan?"
"He was taken by people from Purple Mist Peak."
Gu Sheng’s words caused everyone’s hearts to sink.
"He wouldn’t..."
"Rest assured, he’s not dead, but it’s not good either. We must hurry to rescue him."
Upon hearing this, those who emerged from the Soul Refining Cave immediately stepped forward.
"Brother Sheng, we’ll go with you to rescue him! Since coming to Stone Village, we’ve jokingly called him our big brother, but in our hearts, he’s really like a big brother! We can’t just leave him behind!"
After saying this, the Third Elder also led people to gather around.
"Gu Sheng, we will go with you as well to save him. We have seen what Huang Shan has done for Stone Village. He’s one of us, and we won’t abandon him!"
Looking at everyone, Gu Sheng said softly, "We need to keep it low-profile when rescuing, as a large number of people might scare them away before we even confront them. Purple Mist Peak’s strength isn’t significant, but since we are heading to their territory, we need to be cautious. Third Elder, you stay back. I’ll take the people from the Soul Refining Cave with me."
Understanding his intention, the Third Elder nodded.
"Alright, we will wait at Stone Village. If there’s any need, we will give our all!"
Looking at Huang Shan’s empty house, Gu Sheng said softly, "Fix up his new home before he gets back."
"Don’t worry, we will set it up beautifully."
That night, Gu Sheng led the group on their way to Purple Mist Peak.
