Chapter 279: The Divine Dragon Sword Seeks Its Master
Duan Fengyun returned to the room and, seeing Yueya still fast asleep, smiled before lying down on the bed softly.
And while Duan Fengyun lay down to continue sleeping, Yin Tianxue arrived at Sanhuafang with two maidservants.
As the two people closest to Tong Bo, Dou Dou and Long Po should be informed of this matter.
Therefore, Yin Tianxue acted separately from Yin Hao and came to Sanhuafang with her two personal maidservants.
At this time, Sanhuafang was already pitch black, and everyone had long since gone to sleep.
Yin Tianxue walked up to the main gate and knocked hard twice; before long, the waiter at Sanhuafang came to open the door while yawning.
Without even looking at who it was, the waiter complained directly:
"Who is it that isn't sleeping so late? If you have business, please come back early tomorrow!"
Yin Tianxue replied in a firm and decisive manner:
"I am Yin Tianxue of Yujian Villa. I am here today to find Dou Dou and Long Po; please let me in!"
"Miss Yin, why have you come?
Miss Yin, please come in; I will go call the manager and Miss Dou Dou immediately."
Upon hearing the seven words "Yin Tianxue of Yujian Villa," the waiter was instantly startled into full alertness.
The waiter stumbled back into the building, while Yin Tianxue led her two personal maidservants directly into the main hall of Sanhuafang.
"Manager, Miss Yin from Yujian Villa is here, saying she is looking for the Madam!
She is currently waiting in the main hall."
After knocking on Han Batian's door, the waiter spoke from outside.
"Understood, I will go to the main hall to see her immediately."
Long Po responded directly.
The waiter then went to Dou Dou's room, knocked on the door, and said:
"Miss Dou Dou, Miss Yin from Yujian Villa is here, saying she is looking for you, Miss.
She is currently waiting for you and Long Po in the main hall."
After being woken up by the knocking, Dou Dou was initially a bit angry, but upon hearing the waiter's words, she leaped out of bed.
Dou Dou thought to herself:
"Tianxue coming to find me and Long Po so late at night—something must have happened!"
Dou Dou replied:
"Alright, go tell Tianxue that I will be at the main hall immediately!"
Having received responses from Dou Dou and Long Po, the waiter hurried to the main hall to report to Tianxue.
"Miss Yin, the Madam and the young lady are on their way; please sit for a moment."
Tianxue nodded and said nothing more.
Before long, Han Batian, Long Po, and Dou Dou all rushed to the main hall in a fluster.
Seeing that Long Po and Dou Dou had arrived, the "keep strangers at a distance" demeanor Yin Tianxue wore finally faded away.
Dou Dou stepped forward directly, grabbed Yin Tianxue, and asked:
"Tianxue, you ran over so late at night; something must have happened, right?"
Long Po and Han Batian also looked at Yin Tianxue with anxious expressions.
Long Po had known Yin Tianxue for many years and knew her character well; for Yin Tianxue to run over to find them so late at night, it definitely meant something had gone wrong.
Yin Tianxue looked at Long Po and Dou Dou and said:
"Granny, Dou Dou, Tong Bo has gone missing!
Along with him, Tong Xin and the Spirit Mirror have also disappeared!
You are the people closest to Tong Bo, so I believe I should tell you this news!"
Upon hearing this, Long Po's legs went weak, and just as she was about to collapse to the ground, Han Batian reacted quickly and caught her.
Dou Dou looked at Tianxue in disbelief and said:
"How is this possible? Aren't Tong Dage and the others in Shuiyue Dongtian, busy with the affairs of the Tong Clan?
How could they possibly go missing!
What on earth happened?"
Tianxue shook her head and said:
"I actually don't know what happened either!
Just a moment ago, Tong Zhan ran to Yujian Villa to ask my father and me to help find Tong Bo and Tong Xin.
Tong Zhan said that first Tong Xin disappeared with the Spirit Mirror, and later, when Tong Bo went to look for them, he also went missing.
Tong Zhan is worried that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes, so he asked the Iron Guard to help search for Tong Bo and the others!
After my father and I split up to act, I came here immediately to notify you."
Dou Dou shook her head vigorously upon hearing this:
"How is this possible!
With Tong Dage's skills and wit, who could possibly take him away?
Even if they did take him, Tong Dage would have tried every possible way to leave us a clue.
But now there isn't a single clue; who could it be?
Tianxue, do you think it could be Yin Zhong?"
In her desperation, Dou Dou began to speculate about the mastermind behind the scenes.
Tianxue shook her head and said:
"I suspected Yin Zhong at first too, but Tong Zhan said that Yin Zhong has already been sealed into Hell Valley by them and cannot possibly come out again."
And Tong Zhan said that the culprit who killed Zhao Yun half a year ago has still not been discovered to this day, and he suspects that the mastermind from half a year ago has begun to strike again.
After hearing this, Dou Dou was filled with towering rage and said:
"Half a year ago, this mastermind killed my sister Yun, and now they have taken away Tong Dage and Tong Xin and the others.
What exactly is this mastermind trying to do?
If I catch them, I will definitely hack them into a thousand pieces!"
At this moment, Duan Fengyun, who had already been fast asleep, kept sneezing.
Duan Fengyun opened his eyes and muttered to himself:
"Why do I keep sneezing!
Could it be that someone is thinking of me?
No, could this group of people be linking the disappearance of Tong Bo and the others to the person who killed Zhao Yun!
Damn it, this time I am going to be the scapegoat for the Spirit Mirror."
Duan Fengyun suddenly realized why he could not stop sneezing; they must have linked the disappearance of Tong Bo and the others to the murder of Zhao Yun half a year ago and pushed the responsibility onto him.
However, Duan Fengyun, who had always been magnanimous, naturally would not lower himself to their level.
Blame me if you want, anyway you don't know who I am!
The thick-skinned Duan Fengyun closed his eyes, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, inside Sanhuafang, Long Po, who had been helped up by Han Batian, muttered:
"Tong Bo will be fine; he is a descendant of the Dragon God, and the Dragon God will protect him!
I must go out and find him!"
Long Po suddenly realized that the Shenlong Sword might know Tong Bo's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Long Po immediately ran into the room.
After Yin Zhong was sealed into Hell Valley by Tong Bo, Tong Bo had handed the Shenlong Sword to Long Po for safekeeping, and Long Po had hidden the two short swords under the stone bricks in the room.
Long Po ran back to the room, immediately pried out the stone brick under the bed with force, and took out the two short swords hidden inside.
Long Po threw the two short swords into the air, and the two short swords immediately transformed into one long sword; this was exactly the Shenlong Sword.
Long Po held the Shenlong Sword and muttered:
"Ancestor Long Teng, now that the only remaining descendant of the Long Family, Long Bo, has gone missing for no reason, I implore the ancestor to point out Long Bo's location and help me preserve the last Bloodline of the Long Family."
Upon hearing Long Po's words, the Shenlong Sword seemed to have received a summons, and it felt as if it were vibrating continuously in Long Po's hand.
Long Po's face revealed joy; she knew that the ancestor had manifested.
Long Po bowed toward the sky and said:
"Long Yan thanks the ancestor; Long Yan will definitely find the young master Long Bo."
Just as Long Po picked up the Shenlong Sword and was about to walk outside, Yin Tianxue, Dou Dou, and Han Batian had already arrived in front of Long Po.
Han Batian blocked Long Po's path and said:
"Yan Er, where are you going?"
Long Po replied:
"Tong Bo is in danger, I am going to save him!"
Han Batian said:
"The world is vast, where will you go to find Tong Bo?
Furthermore, the person who took Tong Bo away must have martial arts even stronger than Tong Bo's; what will you use to save him?"
Long Po raised the Shenlong Sword and said:
"Ancestor Long Teng has already guided me in the direction, and I believe the Shenlong Sword will lead me to find Tong Bo."
Dou Dou, whose eyes were already moist, stepped forward upon hearing Long Po's words and grabbed Long Po's hand, asking:
"Mother, are you saying that the Shenlong Sword can help us find Tong Dage!"
Long Po nodded and said:
"That is correct, the Shenlong Sword has the blood of ancestor Long Teng on it, and the Shenlong Sword will protect the descendants of the Long Family; just now, ancestor Long Teng already pointed out the direction of Tong Bo's location to me."
Yin Tianxue said:
"Then there is no time to lose, let us set off immediately, Granny!"
Seeing that the attitudes of Dou Dou and the others were so firm, Han Batian knew that it was impossible for him to stop them.
But this time, he would not let Long Po leave him behind again.
He spoke up and said:
"Fine, then the four of us will set out immediately to find Tong Bo!"
Looking at Han Batian's expression, Long Po, who had been full of worry for Tong Bo's safety, also had a smile on her face.
The four of them each rode a fast horse and galloped away in the direction indicated by the Shenlong Sword.
The further they went, the more Dou Dou and Tianxue felt that something was wrong.
Yin Tianxue voiced the doubts in her heart.
"Granny, isn't this the road to Shuiyue Dongtian?"
Dou Dou also spoke up and said:
"Could it be that there is a traitor in Shuiyue Dongtian, which is why they would lay a hand on Tong Dage and the others."
Long Po shook her head and said:
"I do not know either; we will know once we arrive."
The four of them continued to gallop forward, following the Shenlong Sword.
After the four of them followed the Shenlong Sword all the way to Hell Valley, the Shenlong Sword ceased all movement.
Tong Zhan, who had been extremely anxious in Shuiyue Dongtian, immediately ran to Hell Valley after receiving a report from a clansman that someone had gone there.
Upon arriving at Hell Valley, Tong Zhan looked at Yin Tianxue and the other three, feeling a wave of confusion:
"Tianxue, Dou Dou, why have you run to Hell Valley?"
Tianxue spoke up:
"The Shenlong Sword brought us here; Granny said the Shenlong Sword could lead us to find Tong Bo and the others."
After hearing this, Tong Zhan looked at Long Po in surprise and asked:
"Long Po, is what Tianxue said true?"
Long Po nodded and said:
"Indeed, the Shenlong Sword brought us here, so there must be a reason for it.
The disappearance of Tong Bo and the others must be related to this place!"
Looking at Hell Valley, which was no longer being burned by the Zhurong Fire, Tong Zhan said thoughtfully:
"Could this matter be related to Yin Zhong?
But Yin Zhong was clearly sealed into Hell Valley by my elder brother and me with our own hands; it is absolutely impossible for him to have come out in such a short time. Who could it be?"
Dou Dou stood on the edge of the Hell Valley cliff, looked at the precipices below, and shouted:
"Tong Dage, where are you!"
Dou Dou's voice echoed incessantly at the bottom of the valley, yet Tong Bo still did not appear.
Long Po raised the Shenlong Sword and shouted:
"Ancestor Long Teng, please manifest your spirit and lead us to find Long Bo!
He is the last Bloodline of the Long Family!"
The Shenlong Sword, held above her head, emitted continuous rays of light, as if sensing something.
But at this moment, the Spirit Mirror within Hell Valley seemed to sense something and simultaneously emitted light to resist.
Under the interference of the Spirit Mirror, the Shenlong Sword was destined to achieve nothing.
