Chapter 1111: Disappearance of Citizens

Mrs. Qu left the inner hall and disappeared quietly without returning to the banquet.

When Lingwu came back, his head was hanging down. Everyone asked him what happened to Mrs. Qu, but Lingwu just spoke vaguely, and no one could understand what he said.

The second half of the banquet was spent in Lingwu's depression.

No one was interested until the banquet was over.

Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest. According to Qianxun's plan, they would leave Linghai City early tomorrow morning.

Although Qianxun wanted to catch up with her uncle more, she had important matters at hand, so she couldn't delay. The banquet could be held at any time, so there was no need to rush.

Zhou Ran, Qianxun, and Kuangsha had a good sleep at Linghai Gate. Early the next morning, as they were preparing to bid farewell to Lingwu, something happened in Linghai City.

The citizens of Linghai City surrounded Linghaimen and complained to the disciples of Linghaimen.

"My son suddenly disappeared last night. I don't even know where he went!"

"My daughter is the same. She was sleeping peacefully, but she disappeared at dawn. Is there such a weird thing in the world?"

“My next-door neighbor’s family of five disappeared, as if they had disappeared from the world!”

The citizens of the city said something to each other.

Linghai City was built by Linghai Gate. Linghai Gate naturally represents the authority of the entire city-state, and the gate leader Lingwu is also a city lord.

Therefore, when the city residents encounter difficulties, they will ask for help from Linghaimen.

This time it was a case of missing citizens. Judging from the anxious expressions of several citizens who came to report it, I am afraid that the matter is not simple.

Lingwu came to the front of the citizens and said: "Citizens, please be patient! We are citizens of Linghai City, so we are naturally protected by Linghaimen. I already know about the disappearance of the citizens. Please rest assured, I will definitely lead the Linghai Sect disciples to do their best to investigate, and we must find those missing citizens!"

The other party is the leader of Linghai Sect, he naturally means what he says, and the citizens are quite reassured by him.

Now that Lingwu has promised, the citizens who gathered at the entrance of Linghai Gate have all dispersed and gone home to wait for the news.

"Inform all Linghaimen hall masters to convene an emergency meeting!"

Lingwu said something and walked towards the Linghai Gate lobby.

Zhou Ran, Qianxun, and Kuangsha looked at each other in shock. They originally wanted to say goodbye to Lingwu, but they didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Linghai City.

It would not be good if they left now, so the three of them planned to stay at Linghai Gate for the time being.

The three of them came to the lobby. There were already many people sitting in the lobby, all of them were the hall masters of Linghai Sect.

The leader of the sect, Lingwu, sat on the upper table and told the hall leaders what the citizens had reported.

"Everyone, this matter is very difficult and urgent. Is there anyone willing to go investigate?"

Lingwu hoped that the hall masters would take the initiative to ask for help, but the hall masters remained silent, and no one took the initiative to express their opinions.

Probably because this matter is too troublesome and no matter how much investigation is done, no one is willing to take on this drudgery.

In desperation, Lingwu could only look at his deputy sect master Lingxuan.

"Lingxuan, how about you go?"

Lingxuan slowly stood up and saluted Lingwu.

"I……"

Lingxuan spoke, but he was interrupted just as he said a word.

"Why don't I go!"

One person volunteered.

Everyone followed the voice and saw that the person who recommended himself was none other than Qianxun.

Lingwu was completely dumbfounded and looked straight at Qianxun.

"Qianxun, what time has it been and you're still here messing around!"

"Nonsense? I'm not joking!" Qianxun pouted. She didn't think she was joking. "Uncle, I see that all the hall masters under you are dumbfounded, so I took the initiative to take over this hard job so that I can share your worries and solve your problems."

"Who said no one would take this job?" Lingwu immediately retorted, pointing to his deputy sect leader, "Didn't Lingxuan agree?"

"But he hasn't nodded yet! Uncle,

Isn't it a task you forced on him? Since he is so unwilling, why not leave it to me? "

Qianxun said to herself. The reason why she took on this task was naturally for fun.

What they did made Lingwu and Lingxuan at a loss.

"Qianxun, this matter is strange. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for you to investigate it alone. It's better to leave it to our Linghaimen to investigate!" Lingxuan finally spoke. He wanted to get this job back from Qianxun.

Qianxun didn't think so, and pointed at Zhou Ran.

"Even if there are some things that I can't handle alone, with Zhou Ran's help, there will be no problem. Leave this matter to me, Zhou Ran, and Kuangsha to investigate! This is also to repay uncle for saving me. , and treat us to delicious food and drinks!”

Qianxun had made up her mind, and Lingwu and Lingxuan could only look at each other helplessly.

Now that the deal is done, Lingwu no longer shirks, but says: "In this case, Qianxun, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate! But one thing you have to remember is that you can't force anything. After encountering danger, you must Escape as soon as possible. If nothing can be found in the investigation, don’t investigate further. You must hand over the investigation to Linghai Sect in time!”

"knew."

Qianxun answered lazily and left Linghai Gate with Zhou Ran and Kuangsha.

Zhou Ran and Kuangsha were both speechless. Why is this woman so irrational?

Didn't we say we were leaving Linghai City today?

If we were involved in a troublesome incident, we would not be able to leave this city for a while.

"The investigation has begun!"

Qi Xun stretched and came to Zhou Ran.

For Qian Xun, Zhou Ran was her big backer. No matter what happened, with Zhou Ran's help, it would be solved.

"Zhou Ran, where do you think we should start?" Qian Xun asked directly.

Zhou Ran had a bitter face. It seemed that he was in a difficult situation this time.

He had encountered enough troubles, but he didn't expect Qian Xun to drag him to investigate the disappearance of the citizens of Linghai City.

Although he was resistant, he had to compromise.

"If you really want to investigate, go to the residences of the missing citizens! If they were kidnapped, then the kidnappers would definitely leave some clues! If they were destroyed by a magical formation, there would definitely be traces of the formation at the scene."

"Right! Zhou Ran, you said it so well!"

Qianxun was excited. There was no doubt that Zhou Ran's statement was the most correct.

There must be some clues left in the place where the citizens disappeared, waiting for her to find them.
