Chapter 306

"Young Master, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has already beheaded over seventy Daoist Sect members."

"The Eastern Depot and Western Depot have also captured over twenty Daoist Sect members alive."

In the short span of a single day,

from the time Lu Li issued the order until now, it had only been twelve hours.

The Daoist Sect members distributed throughout Great Qin had already suffered devastating casualties.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was only responsible for beheading.

But the Eastern and Western Depots were not as direct and had captured a portion alive.

In just one day, over a hundred Daoist Sect members had died at the hands of these two forces.

Hearing Ying Mo heard the news reported by Lu Li and gave a calm 'Mn'.

"Continue."

"I want to know the whereabouts of Bei Mingzi."

Hearing Ying Mo continued to instruct.

"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is already investigating the whereabouts of Bei Mingzi."

"Ever since that night, Bei Mingzi has completely vanished without a trace."

"This subordinate suspects he must be hiding in some secluded location."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

In one day, Bei Mingzi should not have been able to run very far.

Moreover, he was suffering from severe injuries.

As long as he wanted to escape, apart from deep mountains and old forests, any place he passed through would be detected by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Yet, within these twelve hours, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had not found any news regarding Bei Mingzi's whereabouts.

It boiled down to two possibilities.

Bei Mingzi had already hidden in a certain location before the order was issued.

Or Bei Mingzi did not choose the official roads, or the obvious paths, and chose to enter the deep mountains and old forests.

Of these two points, the former was manageable.

As long as they investigated carefully, one day they would be able to find their secluded location.

But if it were the latter, that would be somewhat difficult.

Searching for a person in deep mountains and old forests was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"Give me results within twelve hours."

Hearing Ying Mo's eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his gaze.

Feeling the icy aura emanating from Hearing Ying Mo, Lu Li hurriedly agreed.

………

"How is the situation on your end?"

They were still in the familiar courtyard.

Lu Bing did not choose a place particularly far away, but instead used Xianyang City as the center to begin searching for traces of Daoist Sect members everywhere.

Perhaps it was because Xianyang City was the center of Great Qin's entire power.

This resulted in an exceptionally high number of Daoist Sect members active near Xianyang City.

Some Daoist Sect members received the news but had no idea what was going on.

This resulted in them not hiding their tracks at the first opportunity.

This was also the reason why Lu Bing was able to behead so many Daoist Sect members within a single day.

"Young Master, he gave you twelve hours to find Bei Mingzi's whereabouts."

Lu Li said with a serious expression.

The leader of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion also arrived in the room at this time.

During this period, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had been in a state of cooperation with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As soon as he entered, he heard this sentence from Lu Li.

"Twelve hours, isn't that a bit too rushed?"

This middle-aged man, whose face was hidden beneath a mask, said in a deep voice.

Although their Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's ability to investigate news was second to none,

wanting to find Bei Mingzi's whereabouts within twelve hours

was truly somewhat difficult.

"This is the Young Master's order."

Lu Li's face remained icy.

Orders issued to them by the Young Master had to be completed, no matter how difficult.

This middle-aged man and Lu Bing clearly knew this as well.

The faces of both men turned serious at the same time.

"Did the Young Master really only give twelve hours?"
