Chapter 675 Tracking!
The Dayan Lamp floated in front of him, emitting a faint blue light.
Method Yu took the token and placed it under the Dayan Lamp.
Threads of true qi were absorbed by the Dayan Lamp into its shade.
“Whoosh!”
Moments later, the Dayan Lamp emitted an even more dazzling light and quickly flew out of the balcony, disappearing from view.
After completing this, Method Yu returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Having absorbed the true qi from the token, the Dayan Lamp might not be able to directly locate the identical token on Ling’er, but it could at least find the location of Ling’er’s master, Guo Cuiyun!
After all, a person’s aura is much stronger than that of a token.
Jiang Ruolan looked at Method Yu, her lips turning pale as she anxiously asked, “Method Yu…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help you find your master and Ling’er,” Method Yu said. “But the Dayan Lamp needs some time to track the aura. Let’s wait a bit. You should rest.”
Hearing Method Yu’s words, Jiang Ruolan finally relaxed a little.
But until her master and Ling’er were found, she couldn’t be at peace.
Method Yu leaned back against the sofa, quietly sensing the direction the Dayan Lamp had gone.
Actually, he hadn’t known Ling’er for long, having only met her two or three times in total.
Logically, with such infrequent meetings, they should be nothing more than casual acquaintances.
But strangely, from the first time Method Yu met Ling’er, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
And with each subsequent meeting, this feeling grew stronger, and the relationship between Method Yu and Ling’er became deeper.
Therefore, Ling’er’s abduction was a major concern for Method Yu, something he had to take seriously.
While Method Yu was thinking, Su Lengyun was quietly talking with Jiang Ruolan, trying to calm her emotions.
And Bai Ran stood nearby, silently waiting for Method Yu’s orders.
Half an hour passed this way.
By now, Method Yu could sense that the Dayan Lamp had reached the central region and was heading westward.
Method Yu took out his phone and checked the map.
Based on the current direction of the Dayan Lamp…
“Your master seems to be heading toward the southwest region,” Method Yu said.
“The southwest region?” Jiang Ruolan’s expression changed slightly.
“Yes, but it’s not certain yet. The direction might change soon, so let’s wait a bit longer,” Method Yu said.
But just as he finished speaking, Method Yu sensed that the Dayan Lamp had stopped!
How did it stop so quickly?
Method Yu was startled, then immediately pinpointed the location.
“Central region… boundary, this position.” Method Yu marked a location on his phone map, right at the border between the central and southwest regions.
“Your master is currently at this location,” Method Yu said.
“You found them? How are they doing?” Jiang Ruolan excitedly stood up and asked urgently.
“Don’t rush, let me take a closer look.” Method Yu closed his eyes, connecting his divine consciousness to the Dayan Lamp’s vision.
The Dayan Lamp was currently high in the air, slowly descending.
The aura of Jiang Ruolan’s master, Guo Cuiyun, was getting closer, coming from a patch of dead trees below.
As the Dayan Lamp descended, its view gradually zoomed in.
Soon, Method Yu could see the situation on the ground among the dead trees.
The yellowish soil was stained with large patches of dark red.
On the ground were countless dismembered bodies.
There was not a trace of life around.
Total annihilation.
Method Yu didn’t observe for long before withdrawing his divine consciousness and opening his eyes.
“What’s happening!?” Jiang Ruolan asked anxiously.
Seeing her state, Method Yu considered whether to tell her the truth.
If he revealed the actual situation, Jiang Ruolan would likely faint on the spot.
“What’s going on!?” Jiang Ruolan grew more agitated as Method Yu remained silent.
At this moment, Method Yu suddenly raised his right hand and placed his finger on Jiang Ruolan’s smooth forehead.
His fingertip glowed with white light.
Jiang Ruolan immediately fainted, and Su Lengyun quickly caught her to prevent her from falling to the ground.
“Mr. Method, what’s the situation?” Bai Ran asked from the side.
Su Lengyun also looked at Method Yu.
“Her master and four senior sisters are all dead, and they died horribly,” Method Yu said, glancing at the unconscious Jiang Ruolan. “So it’s better not to tell her yet. Let her rest.”
After speaking, Method Yu turned to Bai Ran and asked, “The injuries you sustained at the Great Temple should be mostly healed by now, right?”
“No problem, Mr. Method!” Bai Ran stood at attention.
“Then you’ll accompany me on this trip,” Method Yu said.
“Gladly!” Bai Ran’s face lit up.
“Lengyun, you should stay home this time. It might take some time, so please look after her,” Method Yu said to Su Lengyun.
“I understand, Brother Yu. Please… be careful,” Su Lengyun said softly.
Method Yu and Bai Ran walked to the balcony, located the Dayan Lamp’s current position, and then activated the teleportation technique in the Space Ring, instantly disappearing.
…
The border between the central and southwest regions was an undeveloped primitive area.
The reason this place had never been developed was primarily because the environment was extremely harsh for hundreds of kilometers around, where not even a blade of grass could grow, let alone other resources.
Method Yu and Bai Ran appeared in the sky above this area.
Looking around, all they could see was the deathly yellow color.
The only discordant element was the broken ground below.
Method Yu and Bai Ran descended and stood on the ground.
The Dayan Lamp floated above Method Yu’s head.
Bai Ran looked around and drew in a sharp breath, exclaiming in horror, “This is too cruel… there’s not even one complete body left.”
“It’s not just that,” Method Yu said calmly. “Their bodies have been specially processed.”
Hearing this, Bai Ran looked more carefully and saw it was indeed true!
“This…” Bai Ran thought for a moment, his face turning ashen.
Because he knew that in such a situation, the most likely possibility was… deliberate human processing.
Bai Ran had grown up in a prominent martial arts family and had seen many violent scenes, including people who died more tragically.
But this kind of thing… he had never seen anyone do before!
“What kind of person could be so depraved!?” Bai Ran said.
“Before seeing the true culprit, we can’t assume they’re human,” Method Yu said.
“Not human? Could it be beast demons!? Yes, only beast demons would do such things!” Bai Ran realized suddenly.
Method Yu shook his head without speaking.
He was still carefully examining the remains on the ground.
Only after confirming that Ling’er was not among them did he raise his head.
Then, he crouched down and touched the stains on the ground.
The stains had completely dried.
“The battle here happened at least twenty-four hours ago,” Method Yu said.
Guo Cuiyun had brought four disciples to pursue the old man who had abducted Ling’er, but none survived…
The trail had gone cold again.
Method Yu activated the Dayan Lamp to search for any auras that might exist nearby.
But after searching, there were no results.
The entire ground emitted a thick smell of blood, which would have covered any remaining auras.
“If the fight happened so long ago, the enemy must have left this place. Without any leads, tracking them will be extremely difficult,” Bai Ran said gravely.
“Indeed, however…”
Just as Method Yu was about to say something, his expression changed slightly.
He heard a series of small, scattered footsteps.
It seemed that some creatures were approaching his position.
After a few seconds, the footsteps became more distinct.
