　　After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, the Long-browed True Man asked, “Little brat, why didn’t you tell your second brother-in-law about the Gate of the Underworld？”
　　Ye Qiu said, “This matter hasn’t been figured out yet. Telling him will only increase his pressure.”
　　”Old guy, let’s hurry up and search Lingyun City carefully to see if we can find any clues？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “Little brat, in order to save time, I suggest we split up and meet at the City Lord’s Mansion later.”
　　”Okay.” Immediately, the two separated to look for clues.
　　Half an hour later.
　　Ye Qiu returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
　　He waited for another quarter of an hour before the Long-browed True Man returned. Seeing the excited look on the latter’s face, Ye Qiu asked, “Did you find any clues？”
　　The Long-browed True Man shook his head. “No.”
　　”Then what are you excited about？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　The Long-browed True Man laughed and said, “Lingyun City is really rich. There are a lot of spirit stones in the homes of those high officials and noble lords. Guess how many I found？ Two hundred million！”
　　Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s face turned dark, and he asked, “So, that’s why you came back so late？”
　　”The people are all gone. It’s not for nothing…” Before the Long-browed True Man could finish speaking, seeing Ye Qiu take out the God-beating Whip, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, “Although I spent some time taking the spirit stones, I have investigated everything that should be investigated. Indeed, I didn’t find any clues.”
　　”Hmph, if you dare to waste time again, be careful that I whip you.” Ye Qiu put away the God-beating Whip.
　　The Long-browed True Man finally let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Little brat, did you find any clues？”
　　”No.” Ye Qiu said, “Let’s go to the next city.”
　　Wu Qianfan said, “I’ll go with you！”
　　Since Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man didn’t find any clues, he would definitely not gain anything by staying here.
　　”Let’s go！” Ye Qiu sacrificed the Wind-riding Sword and took the Long-browed True Man and Wu Qianfan to Lingyin City.
　　This city was very small and very poor. The three of them only spent a quarter of an hour to search the entire city.
　　Still, they found nothing.
　　Subsequently, they didn’t stay and directly rushed to the next city.
　　Cuwei City！
The situation was still the same as before, with no harvest.
　　“His grandma’s, the methods of the Nether Race are quite something. They didn’t even leave a single clue.” Changmei Zhenren said swearingly.
　　Wu Qianfan said worriedly： “We didn’t find any clues in three cities. I’m afraid we won’t be able to find anything in Mingzhu City either. It’s difficult to find the missing people.”
　　Ye Qiu said calmly： “If we can’t find the missing people, we’ll look for the source.”
　　“Source？” Wu Qianfan was stunned and then exclaimed： “Boss, do you mean to find the Netherworld？”
　　“That’s right.” Ye Qiu said： “Since this matter was done by the people of the Nether Race, if we can’t find the missing people, we can only look for the lair of the Nether Race.”
　　“I say you two, can you not be so pessimistic？” Changmei Zhenren said： “With me here, how could we not find those missing people？”
　　“Daozhang, do you have any way？” Wu Qianfan asked.
　　Changmei Zhenren chuckled and said： “Do you still remember what I’m good at？”
　　“Remember.” Wu Qianfan nodded and said： “Greedy for money and shameless.”
Changmei Zhenren shouted: “Damn it, how do you know my so clearly?
　　Wu Qianfan was speechless.
　　I have never seen such a brazen person！
　　“But what you said are all my strengths, not my specialties.” said the Long-browed True Man. “I am a divine fortune teller, and I am best at divination.”
　　“I will do a divination right now.”
　　“I believe there must be some clues.”
　　After saying that, the Long-browed True Man took out three copper coins from the wide cuff of his Taoist robe, held the copper coins in both hands and shook them while chanting words in his mouth.
　　A　moment　later.
　　The Long-browed True Man threw his hands, and the three copper coins appeared in the air, spinning rapidly and making a whistling sound.
　　A few seconds later.
　　The Long-browed True Man stretched out his right hand.
　　“Pop！”
　　The three copper coins landed in his palm at the same time and were stacked together. If there was one more stick in the middle, it would be no different from a candied haws.
　　Instantly, the face of the Long-browed True Man became extremely solemn.
　　“Daozhang, what is the divination result？” asked Wu Qianfan.
　　“Not good.” said the Long-browed True Man.
　　“Not good？” Wu Qianfan’s face also changed, and he asked, “Daozhang means that we won’t be able to find out anything on this trip？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “Not only will we not be able to find out anything, but there is also a sign of great misfortune.”
　　A sign of great misfortune？
　　When Ye Qiu heard these four words, he suddenly perked up, but Wu Qianfan was dejected.
　　“Little brat, should we go back？” said the Long-browed True Man.
　　“We haven’t even been to Pearl City yet, how could we give up halfway. Let’s go, to Pearl City！” Ye Qiu immediately controlled his sword and rode the wind.
　　Soon, they arrived above Pearl City.
　　Ye Qiu controlled his sword and brought True Man Changmei and Wu Qianfan, hovering above Pearl City, looking down at this beautiful city.
Pearl City, as its name suggests, under the shine of the sun, the city is like a bright pearl on the earth.
The city wall is built of white jade-like stone materials. After years of wind and rain, it is still as shiny as new. The towers on the city wall are carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, and the details show the unique ingenuity.
　　However, beneath this beauty, there is a hidden ominous atmosphere.
This city that should have been bustling and noisy, at this moment, except for some forbidden troops, there is no one else, and there is not a wisp of cooking smoke. Only the sobbing sound made by the wind passing through the empty streets.
“Alas!” Wu Qianfan sighed deeply and said, “I didn’t expect that the good Pearl City has become like this now. It’s really a pity.”
“Big brother, Taoist Priest, do you know? The reason why Pearl City is called Pearl City is because it is rich in pearls here.
　　“Oh？” True Man Changmei askedfeel uncertainly, “This place is not close to the sea or lakes. How could it produce pearls？”
　　In True Man Changmei’s impression, only in the sea or lakes, those shells would have pearls.
“Look, Taoist Priest!”
　　Wu Qianfan pointed to a huge mountain peak on the westernmost side of Mingzhu City and said, “This mountain is called Mingzhu Mountain.”
　　“Many years ago, a commoner discovered a pearl on the mountain. Do you know how big that pearl was？”
　　“How big？” asked Changmei Zhenren.
　　Wu Qianfan said, “Bigger than a bathtub.”
　　“So big?” Changmei Zhenren’s face was full of surprise, and he said, “Is it true or false? I have never seen such a big pearl.”
　　“Of course it’s true.” Wu Qianfan said, “It is because of this huge pearl that Mingzhu City became famous in Zhongzhou.”
　　“Not only that, later on, many commoners successively dug up pearls on that mountain peak, and there were many pearls as big as a washbasin.”
　　“As for pearls the size of a finger, there are countless.”
　　“It is precisely because of this that that mountain is called Mingzhu Mountain.”
　　Changmei Zhenren stared at Mingzhu Mountain, his eyes burning, and said, “I didn’t expect such a small Mingzhu Mountain to have such a strange story. Poor Daoist has to go and take a look.”
　　After saying that, he directly jumped off the Chenfeng Sword and rushed towards Mingzhu Mountain.
