Ye Xiu took advantage of his face and stood in front of the dining table, still holding a mobile phone in his hand, but the call on the other end of the phone had already been hung up.
He knew that something happened to Su Yanrou.
What puzzled him was that Su Yanrou was protected by a master of the Seventh Realm like Jiang Liuying, so who could take her away silently?
Ye Xiu suppressed the worries in his heart and dialed Xu Shanyin's phone number.
"Young Master Ye..." As soon as the call was connected, Xu Shanyin's surprised voice came from the other end, as if he didn't expect Ye Xiu to call him.
"Help me check the location of Yanrou's mobile phone. Something may have happened to her..." Time was running out, so Ye Xiu said directly.
Xu Shanyin on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and said immediately: "I'll check it out right now!"
Because of Ye Xiu's relationship, Xu Shanyin is now the leader of Nanyun Alliance's Nanhe Hall, and he is a powerful figure in Nanhe City. He has a great reputation both officially and among the people. However, after a while, Xu Shanyin regained his reputation.
A call came in: "Mr. Ye, the last call on my sister-in-law's mobile phone was at Bailing Temple in the upper reaches of the Nanhe River, about thirty kilometers away from the city. Do you need me to send someone over to check?"
"No, I can just go there by myself!" Ye Xiu rejected Xu Shanyin's kindness.
Su Yanrou was protected by a master like Jiang Liuying, but she still didn't send any distress message. This was enough to show that the opponent's strength was far superior to Jiang Liuying. Facing such a master, most people would die.
On the contrary, it is easy to alert the enemy, so it is better to go alone.
An hour later, Ye Xiu's figure arrived at the entrance of Bailing Temple.
Bailing Temple is not a big one, but it is famous throughout Nanhe City for its ability to make wishes come true. It is said that as long as you make a wish in this temple, it will almost always come true. This is where the name of this temple comes from.
In Nanhe, almost everyone, whether ordinary people or dignitaries, come to worship and make wishes. However, everyone comes during the day, and at night, the place is extremely deserted.
There was silence all around, and there were no lights in the temple. Ye Xiu was a little confused. As a temple with a lot of incense, even if no one came at night, there should be someone keeping vigil. Why was there no one there?
I carefully opened the door of the temple, and the smell of blood hit my face.
Ye Xiu was shocked. Could it be that something happened to Su Yanrou and the others?
He hurriedly walked inside. It was quiet all the way, and there were no signs of fighting. It wasn't until Ye Xiu passed through the main hall and came to the backyard of the temple that he discovered that the huge courtyard was in a mess.
The flowers and plants in the backyard had long been torn to pieces by Qi Jin, and some statues and stone tables were also severely damaged. In addition, there were several corpses lying in the yard.
Ye Xiu ran over and with the help of dim starlight, he discovered that it was not Su Yanrou and the others. Judging from their clothes, they were probably the people left behind in the temple.
Judging from the time of death, it should be an hour ago.
Then thinking about Su Yanrou's BMW parked in the open space at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xiu had a vague guess in his mind.
Su Yanrou probably came here to make a wish today, and probably planned to stay here for the night, but she was attacked later. The traces of the fight at the scene should have been left by the fight between the other party and Jiang Liuying.
But in the end, Jiang Liuying was defeated, they were also taken away by the other party, and the remaining members of these temples were also silenced by the other party.
Who is so brave? How dare he commit murder in a temple?
Why take away Su Yanrou again?
Ye Xiu raised his head, carefully observed the traces around him, and finally walked out of the backyard door along a blood trail.
Behind the Bailing Temple was a mountain forest. Ye Xiu checked it carefully and finally found Su Yanrou's mobile phone among the weeds.
The phone was damaged. The person who answered the phone last probably broke the phone after hanging up.
Ye Xiu looked up and looked ahead, and found traces of someone walking in the woods. Thinking about the road he came on, there were no other traces. Ye Xiu speculated that the other party should have come from this mountain forest after kidnapping Su Yanrou and others.
left.
He still doesn't know who the other party is, but it is impossible for ordinary forces to dispatch such masters. There are only a few forces with such masters in Shuzhou.
Is it the Ximen family?
Or is it Yunjian Tower, which has not been seen for a long time?
Ye Xiu had a gloomy look on his face, and after confirming the traces of the other party's departure, he went straight into the woods.
The woods were very dark, and there were some strange sounds coming from time to time. Most people would be frightened if they were alone in the forest, and they would not even be able to see the road ahead clearly, but to Ye Xiu, this was nothing at all.
As his strength improved, his eyesight became much better than that of ordinary people. Even if the surroundings were pitch black, he could still find the traces left behind.
About half an hour later, Ye Xiu walked out of the forest and saw a small village with about twenty households.
It's just that except for a larger house at the head of the village that has lights, all the other houses in the village are dark.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Ye Xiu frowned slightly and carefully sneaked into the village from the end of the village. The smell of blood in the air became stronger. When he walked to the door of the first house, he found that the door of the house was always open and there was no light.
In the house, there were several recently deceased bodies lying.
I checked several more houses, and the results were the same. The owners of the houses were all dead. Judging from the cause of death, they were all killed by sharp swords, and the death time would not exceed half an hour.
Ye Xiu felt a surge of anger in his heart. He really couldn't imagine that the people who captured Su Yanrou would be so cold-blooded and massacre all these innocent people.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Ye Xiu hid his body in the shadows and walked bit by bit towards the house with the lights on at the end of the village. Faintly, he could hear voices coming from that house.
Perhaps, the murderer who captured Su Yanrou and others is still in this village.
But Ye Xiu stopped before he reached the door of the house at the end of the village.
Instead, he looked up at an old locust tree on the left that was at least three hundred years old. On the locust tree, a man in black was leaning against the trunk, and his whole body almost blended in with the locust tree.
As one body, if the other party's body wasn't filled with a strong smell of blood, even with Ye Xiu's perception, it would be difficult to detect it.
"You are quite fast..." Seeing Ye Xiu's arrival, the man in black was not too surprised. He seemed to have been waiting for Ye Xiu for a long time. As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree...
