Chapter 52: Disappearance Case

The first time Xu Yi saw the thunderstorm, his body involuntarily entered a state of alert.

This man is very dangerous, and she cannot see through his cultivation.

Long Haotian and the other three also looked at the thunderstorm with vigilance, but their preparedness for the thunderstorm was far less than expected.

On their way to the city lord's palace, they had already passed the news back to the sect.

Lei Bao is just a city lord in Bozhou, how dare he go up against the behemoth Xuanqing Sect.

So they were very sure that Thunderstorm would not dare to attack them.

"My dear friends, I already know about your affairs. It is indeed the people in my City Lord's Mansion who did something wrong this time. I will ask them to apologize to you later."

Lei Bao's first words after seeing the four people made Xu Yi raise his eyebrows.

Sure enough, Lei Bao changed his tone in his next sentence and revealed his intention.

"But there is something I need your help with. As long as you agree, Lei Bao will be grateful."

Although Lei Bao tried his best to show kindness to a few people, the terrifying aura around him only made his fierce expression more oppressive.

Long Haotian winked at Chen Tao. Chen Tao immediately understood, took a step forward, stood up and asked loudly: "What if we are not willing to help?"

"Don't want to?"

Lei Bao sneered, his eyes like a cold poisonous snake, and there was still a hint of evil aura.

"I know that you are of extraordinary origin, and the forces behind you can destroy this little city lord's mansion like mine with just a snap of your fingers."

He defeated Lei Bao's position as city lord with one punch and one kick, but this does not mean that he is an empty-minded barbarian.

He knew that each of these people had their own strengths.

He can't control that much now.

The whereabouts of his only daughter were unknown, and there would be a life-or-death crisis at any time. He could not sit in the city lord's mansion and wait helplessly.

He wants to save his daughter.

However, after three days of searching, no clues were found.

He's going crazy!

So he set his sights on these sect disciples.

These people are young but wealthy, and they possess an endless supply of magic weapons. Maybe they can help him find his daughter.

As long as he can find Yan'er, he will pay any price, including bearing the sect's anger behind these people afterwards.

Xu Yi and the others were frightened by Thunderstorm's bloodshot eyes and violent momentum, and their hearts trembled.

At this time, Lei Bao was not like a strategizing city lord, but like a gambler at the end of his rope, trying desperately to find a way out.

"Okay, we agreed." Xu Yi stared at the thunderstorm and said.

"Senior Sister Xu..."

Do you want to think about it again?

Chen Tao looked anxious. Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted.

"City Lord Lei has shown enough sincerity, how can we refuse."

The situation now is no longer whether they are willing to agree, but that they must agree.

Lei Bao had a strong attitude and had no regard for life and death. Even if they were tied together, they were no match for Lei Bao. If they didn't agree, they would have to find a place to bury them.

After Lei Bao heard Xu Yi's words, he was silent for a few moments and laughed.

"My friends, please take a seat. I will tell you the ins and outs of the city's lockdown in detail."

Xu Yi and the four of them sat down calmly and listened to Lei Bao talk about the strange things that happened in Xiling City recently.

Lei Bao received a report from his subordinates a month ago that a monk was missing in Xiling City.

He didn't take it seriously at the time. Although fighting was strictly prohibited in the city and injuries occurred, monks had various methods and could kill people silently, so it was normal for monks to disappear in the city.

But soon Lei Bao discovered that things seemed to be developing beyond his expectations.

More and more people are disappearing in the city for no reason, and many of them are well-known local monks in Xiling City.

Their disappearance made Lei Bao realize that such disappearances were not accidental.

But the people he sent to investigate found nothing.

There were no signs of struggle or struggle at the residence of the missing monk. The monks who visited the area also said that they had not seen anyone acting suspiciously.

He could only suppress the information while increasing manpower to investigate.

And it was because of this move that he relaxed his management of the city lord's palace, and someone took the opportunity to kidnap his daughter Lei Yan.

"Yan'er is my only daughter. She has been frail and sick since she was a child. I have worked hard to let her grow up safely." Lei Bao mentioned his daughter, the expression on his face softened slightly. He looked at Xu Yi and the four of them and said solemnly, "Several of you,

I implore you to help me find Yan'er. Once that is done, I can agree to whatever request you make."

Lei Bao's fatherly heart made Xu Yi and the others slightly change their view of him.

Lei Bao may not be a good person, but he must be a good father.

Xu Yi stood up and said, "I wonder if Lord Lei City can take the four of us to the place where your daughter disappeared."

"Okay, please."

Lei Ba called the goshawk to lead the way, and he stood side by side with Xu Yilong and Haotian. From time to time, he talked about interesting things about Lei Yan's childhood, showing his love for his daughter in both words.

Xu Yi and Long Haotian echoed from time to time, and soon arrived at Lei Yan's residence.

"This is my daughter's room."

Lei Bao stood at the door and sighed.

Xu Yi looked at the carefully decorated room and couldn't help but nodded.

It can be seen from the layout of the room that what he said before the thunderstorm was true.

Xu Yi walked into the room and walked slowly along the wall.

The room is clean and tidy, and the flowers in the willow vase on the table are delicate and fragrant.

Just as Lei Bao said, there was nothing strange here, as if the owner of the room was just going out to do errands and was not in danger.

Long Haotian and the other three stood at the door, hesitating and unable to take a step.

After all, this is a women's boudoir, and they uphold the principles of gentlemen and dare not enter without permission.

After Xu Yi looked around, he walked out and said to Lei Bao, who was full of expectations: "City Lord, I also want to go to the places where several other monks disappeared."

"Okay." Lei Bao said in a deep voice and waved to the goshawk in the distance, "Goshawk, take them to those places."

"Subordinates obey orders."

Xu Yi and the others followed Goshawk out of the city lord's mansion and ran to several places.

On the way, Goshawk apologized to the four people with a heavy face and tried to bribe them quietly, but Xu Yi politely declined.

The disappearance case has not yet been clarified, so she dare not accept these things.

Gosying mistakenly thought that Xu Yi and the others were determined to punish him, so they kept a long face the whole way, with an expression of not letting strangers in.

Xu Yi and the other three didn't care about his feelings. They stayed at each place for an hour and walked around the nearby streets. They didn't leave disappointed until they found nothing.

When they returned to the city lord's mansion, it was already dark, and the thunderstorm did not bother them. They found a place for them to stay and rest.

Xu Yi and the four of them spent the night at the city lord's mansion.
