Chapter 314: The Demon in the Night

It happened five days ago, the Manor Master suddenly vanishing without a trace.

Qingluan Manor had already secretly sent people out to search, but unfortunately, they had not found anything.

That was when Ma Hongjun went to Lingguang Sect, intending to ask Bai He for help.

Qingluan Manor also decided to conceal this matter to prevent any internal turmoil.

Bai He fell into thought.

"So there is such a matter."

"Yes."

"Ma Hongjun, I forgot to tell you. If your master is in a place that is extremely hard to locate, then the amount of cultivation power required will also be much greater. I believe you have already searched every place your master could possibly have gone, so..."

Bai He had to give him a warning in advance.

Ma Hongjun pressed his lips together, his expression heavy.

Ma Hongjun’s cultivation level was not very high, but it was something he had achieved through his own hard work.

To simply give it up like that.

No one would willingly accept it.

But on one side was his master, and on the other was his hard-earned cultivation power.

If it was destroyed just like that, his entire life might be ruined.

"Let me think about it."

Bai He nodded.

"Why do we not go to your master’s room first and see if there are any clues?"

Ma Hongjun agreed.

Although Ma Hongjun was a very intelligent and meticulous person, if there were any clues, he would not have missed them.

This trip was probably going to be pointless for Bai He.

However, he still decided to take Bai He to have a look, just in case there was something he had overlooked.

Currently, most affairs in Qingluan Manor were being handled by Ma Hongjun and Huang Rong.

With Ma Hongjun leading the way, they naturally arrived very smoothly at the residence of the Manor Master.

After opening the door, the items inside had almost not been touched.

Xu Feng sniffed the air, his brows slightly furrowed, as if something had happened, but he was not completely sure.

Bai He took a rough look and sighed inwardly.

There was nothing useful here.

"Master, did you smell anything?"

Bai He inhaled and shook his head.

"No. Why? What did you smell?"

Xu Feng had always had a very sharp sense of smell.

This was also one of the skills of the Nightwatchers Tribe.

"There is demonic aura, Master. I am certain. It is indeed demonic aura."

There is demonic aura?

Bai He tried to sniff again, but still could not smell anything.

"Are you sure?"

Xu Feng nodded very confidently.

"Yes, I am sure. It is demonic aura. It is just very faint. If you do not pay close attention, you definitely will not notice it. Master, do you think the Manor Master was taken away by demons?"

Bai He curled his lips slightly.

This sounded a bit far-fetched.

Qingluan Manor was not some insignificant sect.

For someone to casually take away their Manor Master like that, it was simply too strange.

Thinking of demons, Bai He suddenly remembered those two terrifying giant snake demons.

Shi Gui and Shi Ran.

He had not seen them in years.

He did not know if this matter had anything to do with them.

Bai He silently hoped it had nothing to do with them.

He was afraid.

He was afraid of snakes and even more afraid of snake demons.

At night, Bai He could not sleep.

At that time, why did I not bring Ye Shiyuan with me?

If Ye Shiyuan were here now, would he feel more secure?

"Host, if Ye Shiyuan were here, he would definitely have a way to find the Manor Master."

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that without Ye Shiyuan, I cannot find him?"

Mo Zhu’s tone was very mechanical as it analyzed seriously.

"Yes, Host."

Bai He: ...

At a time like this, could it not be so direct?

He was also someone with self-respect, alright?

Even though he had thick skin, he was still a young boy in his teens.

Did he not deserve some dignity?

"But right now he is not here, so I can only rely on myself."

"Host, the demon that can take away the Manor Master is definitely not an ordinary demon. Moreover, it did it silently and without anyone noticing. Are you sure that even if you meet that demon, you will be able to deal with it?"

A wave of fear rose in Bai He’s heart, but he still forced himself to say, "If you have the ability, let him come. Do you think I am afraid of him?"

The moment Bai He’s voice fell, a gust of cold wind swept in.

His hair and clothes were blown upward.

Why would the wind suddenly rise at a time like this?

There was something strange about this wind.

Just as Bai He was about to return to the room, a black shadow appeared in front of him.

Under the shadow, a man slowly emerged.

The man was dressed in black.

He looked handsome and appeared to be in his early twenties.

His eyes were fixed on Bai He like he was staring at prey.

He moved extremely fast.

Before Bai He could even react, he had already appeared in front of him and grabbed his neck.

"So Qingluan Manor even has such a pretty disciple."

What nonsense was this?

He was not from Qingluan Manor.

No, that was not the point.

The point was...

"Let go a little. I cannot breathe anymore."

The force in his fingers was so strong.

Was he really planning to choke him to death?

They had no grievance or hatred between them, so why go this far?

"Oh? You are not afraid of me?"

He had originally thought that Bai He would be scared to the point of crying, but instead he only asked him to let go.

In the end, he actually loosened his grip.

Bai He coughed twice, his throat hurting from being squeezed.
