Chapter 388: Chapter 388 - Missing (2)

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was silent as it sensed the energy fluctuations of the light barrier.

Indeed, this energy was very strange. It was unlike worldly energy, fire energy, water energy, or even energy like extreme Yin and extreme Yang.

If one had to describe it, it seemed like a magnetic field, but not a magnetic field.

The Essence Soul’s soul power covered it and was directly worn away.

It was not that its soul power had dissipated, but it had been disintegrated by an invisible force and quickly turned into a pile of powder that disappeared.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul carefully sensed around the light barrier. In the end, it really sensed the source or core of the light barrier underground.

The underground core had been buried for hundreds, no, possibly thousands of years, or even longer!

Chengtian Palace had merely taken advantage of the geography and got implicated.

At this thought, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul turned around and said coolly, “Let’s go the You residence.”

He could not enter the light barrier outside the Chengtian Palace either.

Su Jingxing very well that with this perception, even if he turned illusory, he wouldn’t be able to do so.

Since he couldn’t find any clues at the first location, he would go to the second location, the You residence.

Luo Zhuigong, Luo Shan, and the others naturally had no objections and followed behind.

No, more like they were leading the way.

However, as soon as they left the palace doors, they saw a group of people rushing towards them.

“What happened?”

Luo Zhuigong was puzzled, while Luo Shan met the crowd.

A moment later, Luo Shan returned to the group with an ugly expression. He waved his hand and dismissed the people.

“What happened?” Guan Zhonghua asked in a low voice.

“Someone from the Snow Nation’s delegation has gone missing. Two of them at that, a pair of sisters.”

Luo Shan gritted his teeth and said, “These two people have been missing for several days. The leader of the Snow Nation’s delegation only revealed the matter when he couldn’t find them anywhere and requested that we search for them. The people below are busy searching everywhere in secret.”

“Missing? Was there anything unusual before they disappeared?” Luo Zhuigong pondered.

“I don’t know. After the two sisters came to the Yu Nation, they wandered around and couldn’t be found for a long time. At first, the Snow Nation’s delegation thought that they were running around again and missed the time to return to the hotel. Subsequently, they weren’t seen for long time and that was when the rest became nervous,” Luo Shan replied with a sigh.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not say anything. There was no need for him to interfere in such matters.

Luo Shan was responsible for the disappearance of the members of the Snow Nation’s delegation.

That was what Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul thought and did.

Silently, it strode away.

Seeing this, Luo Zhuigong, Xiao Renwo, and the others couldn’t care less about Luo Shan anymore. They stepped into the air and rushed towards the You Family’s manor.

…

The sealed You Family’s manor.

There were ruins everywhere. Most of the buildings had collapsed, and the ground was covered in rubble and pits.

There was a lot of blood scattered in the corner. In some places, the blood had dried up and could not be wiped off in a short period of time. Of course, Luo Xuangong and company didn’t do so either.

Although the You Family’s manor was located in the suburbs of the capital, everyone had been killed, without a single survivor. Looking at the scene where destruction was everywhere, the battle here was undoubtedly very tragic.

In the end, not a single person nearby heard anything and noticed something amiss.

Only when dawn broke the next day did people discover the You Family’s tragic state. Corpses were everywhere.

The corpses had long been cremated. The dead were all from the You Family.

There might have been corpses of the mastermind as well, but they had all been taken away.

“After our investigation, we discovered that everyone nearby slept very soundly that night,” explained Luo Xuangong as he accompanied Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul through the ruins.

“There was nothing left at the scene?” asked the Essence Soul.

“No.” Guan Zhonghua shook his head. “The culprits cleaned up very well. Not a trace was left behind.”

“We’re here.” Xiao Renwo who was walking in front suddenly stopped in his tracks. He pointed at the open door of an underground secret chamber and said, “This is the secret chamber. It’s protected by an array formation.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stepped forward and sized up the extremely calm door of the super-alloy chamber.

Around the cave stood martial artists with powerful auras. Every one of them was in the fourth-grade, and three of them were even in the third-grade.

Dressed in a uniform, they were muscular.

People from the Sacred Martial Hall!

Apart from the military and the Martial Suppression Office, the Yu Nation’s government also had a powerful team, the Sacred Martial Hall.

This department was the core of the Yu Nation. All the cabinet members, various Prefecture Chiefs, and generals had been part of the Sacred Martial Hall before.

In other words, all the candidates holding important positions in the Yu Nation were from the Sacred Martial Hall.

Even though they possessed powerful martial strength, they usually did not take action. Only when they encountered important matters would the Sacred Martial Hall take action.

The Hall Master of the Sacred Martial Hall naturally became a member of the cabinet.

Nothing needed to be said about their strength, every Hall Master was a peak first-grade martial artist who had condensed a Divine Embryo.

The step of hatching an Essence Soul from the Divine Embryo had trapped countless people.

According to the Wei Family’s ancestors, the blue liquid with a red glow that Su Jingxing brought out from the Black Flame Caves could allow a Divine Embryo to hatch an Essence Soul.

Su Jingxing had checked afterward. The blue liquid with a red glow did indeed have this effect, but it wasn’t to be devoured. Instead, it ought to be melted and smeared on the Divine Embryo to speed up the incubation process.

Yes, the blue liquid with a red glow did not allow the Divine Embryo to hatch an Essence Soul. Instead, it sped up the process.

Moreover, the more the better. One or two drops of the blue liquid with a red glow were equally inefficient.

However, the giant flower with eyes in the Black Flame Caves was quite a threat to Su Jingxing.

There was no need to guess. If this giant flower could injure an Essence Soul, any martial artist below the Transcendent-grade would be courting death.

Of course, the giant flower was very innocent. If one could deceive it, he might be able to obtain a considerable amount of the blue liquid with a red glow.

However, if one made a mistake and angered the giant flower, he would become nourishment for it…

Cough cough!

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul came back to its senses.

It slowly descended and arrived at the door of the secret chamber.

It reached out and touched the door.

Buzz!

The air surged, and a halo suddenly appeared. Then, it quickly spread and covered the entire secret chamber, forming a light blue membrane around it.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul touched the light membrane. Amidst the light, combination array patterns immediately appeared and gathered together, forming a powerful force that could not be broken.

“These array formation patterns have been recorded. Array formation experts are studying them,” Luo Xuan introduced.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not respond. However, the hands covered in the gloves of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor gloves hitting the light membrane, creating circles of ripples. Array patterns constantly appeared.

Moments later, he gestured for Guan Zhonghua and the others to retreat.

“This…”

Guan Zhonghua hesitated, but there was nothing he could do. They could only leave the basement one by one and retreat a hundred meters away.

After they were far away, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul employed its soul power. The surface of its hands flickered with light as it rhythmically slapped the array patterns on the light membrane.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A strange sound began to sound. It was rhythmic, resembled music, and was rather pleasant to the ear.

Guan Zhonghua and the others, who were watching from afar, could not help but look at each other, not understanding what Su Jingxing was doing.

Breaking the array formation?

Guan Zhonghua and the others were shocked at the thought. Of course, it quickly turned into joy.

If Su Jingxing could break the array formation, it would save them a lot of trouble.

Those array formation experts had been studying the patterns on the array formation for a few days, but they still couldn’t figure anything out.

It would be great if Su Jingxing could.

In fact, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was indeed breaking the array formation.

The Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams!

That’s right, Su Jingxing realized that the array formation that enveloped the secret chamber was actually launched from a basic array formation.

That made things easier. The various strange array formations and trapping array formations set up using the basic array formations…

Even Su Jingxing could crack it using the Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams.

It speed was not slow either. Under the slaps of soul power, the rhythm became faster and faster.

After a series of dull thuds…

Whoosh!

A ray of light suddenly soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

In the next second, the array formation that enveloped the secret chamber disintegrated with a whoosh.

“Ha, it’s really broken!” Luo Xuangong exclaimed in surprise.

“A Martial Sage is indeed fast.” Guan Zhonghua nodded with joy.

“Let’s go take a look.” Xiao Renwo’s figure flashed and he flew back.

At this moment.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul had already opened the door of the secret chamber.

A deafening snarl came through the door.

Roar!
