Two individuals have vanished overnight. The investigation involves the Jade Immortal Mansion. Security formations show no signs of breach.
As dawn broke, a faint light penetrated the misty spiritual energy above Jade Immortal City, but was unable to dispel the eerie atmosphere that suddenly enveloped the city.
Inside the Jade Immortal Mansion, in the criminal officer guard room, the atmosphere was as tense as frozen ice.
The four executioners stood below, their faces pale and their foreheads covered in cold sweat, heads lowered, not even daring to breathe.
At the head of the table, behind a large table carved from a single lump of obsidian, sat a middle-aged man with a grim expression.
He wore a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with complicated cloud patterns, had a gaunt face, and a long beard, which gave him the impression of a scholar.
But his narrow eyes glinted with an eerie light when they opened and closed, and he exuded an air of authority and a hidden, menacing presence.
He was Fei Qing, the Grand Steward of the Jade God Palace.
“Overnight, two completely healthy people disappeared right before your eyes?”
Fei Qing’s voice was not loud, even a bit flat, but to the four deacons, it was like an ice pick that pierced their bones.
“Reporting toReporting to Grand Steward.”
The butler gathered his courage, his voice trembling, “Last night everything was normal. Shift change was at midnight, duty record was clean, Tu Meng was on duty and did not leave the dormitory.”
“Tu Gang…Tu Gang was on leave yesterday and, as usual, went to Zuixianlou. He hasn’t returned yet.”
“During morning roll call, we discovered that the two were not at their posts. We immediately sent people to look for them. The Inn, Drunken God Pavilion, Thousand Gold Shop, and even some of the places they frequented, but they were nowhere to be found.”
“When we asked his colleagues, none of them heard anything unusual last night”
“What about the boarding formation? Has it been activated? Are there any signs of outsiders breaking in?” Fei Qing interrupted the maid’s report, her fingertips tapping lightly on the obsidian table surface, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound.
“The formation is operating normally, and there is no record that the formation has been activated.”
“We have thoroughly inspected the Tu Meng residence and its courtyard, both inside and out, but found no signs of a fight, nor any residual aura or magical fluctuations. Everything seems strangely normal.”
Another deacon added, his face filled with disbelief.
“This is very normal…” Fei Qing repeated the sentence, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light became more intense.
“Two level four Upper Immortal Realm cultivators, especially Tu Meng, who was on duty and inside the dormitory under the protection of the magic array, suddenly disappeared without a trace? Without leaving any traces at all?”
Fei Qing stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the sky outside which was slowly getting brighter, but the look in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
