Chapter 1023: Missing Hu Dagao
It had not been that long since Cang Ci had left, so it was a bit confusing for her.
“Is there an issue, Master?” Cang Ci questioned.
She also didn’t forget to notice that Lin Wu had switched over to his other body.
“There is yes… Seems like we need to hurry to the Hu Continent.” Lin Wu replied.
“Hurry?” Cang Ci could guess the possible reasons. “Someone interfering with your plans there?”
“Indeed.” Lin Wu nodded his head. “You should leave the previous orders to the others, for now just come with me.” He stated.
“Of course, master. The newly trained juniors are capable enough to carry out orders like these. Plus, we already have some people stationed in the north.” Cang Ci replied.
“Good. That’ll make things easier. Once this is done, you can bring over the others to the Hu continent.” Lin Wu stated before activating the teleportation array.
Since it was a relay, it took two minutes to fully activate. Cang Ci also looked around finding the array to be a lot different from the ones she had seen before. They were intricate and there seemed to be energy fluctuations stronger than normal.
~SHUA~
Finally the array activated, and the two of them disappeared.
“Huh? What’s this place?” Cang Ci said in shock, as she appeared in the teleportation channel.
“That is the Lesser Void and we are currently in a Teleportation Channel.” Lin Wu answered.
“How are we seeing this? Isn’t teleportation supposed to be instant?” Cang Ci asked.
“It is for shorter distances or for stronger arrays.” Lin Wu said as they reached the end of the channel.
~SHUA~
Cang Ci felt the scene change again and found herself on a new island.
“This…” But before she could say much, the next array activated and teleported them again.
She saw the lesser void again, but this time she stayed in it for an even shorter time.
They repeated this procedure several times until finally for the last teleportation they had to take a longer pause.
“Are we there already?” Cang Ci asked feeling a bit confused.
The area she was in seemed to be relatively vast and she didn’t know if she was on an island.
“Not yet. One final array left which will take us to the Hu Continent.” Lin Wu replied.
“So we’re not on the continent yet?” Cang Ci had thought they’d be there already.
“No, this is an island in the ocean. The final stop before it links up—” By the time Lin Wu ended his words, they had been teleported again.
Cang Ci looked at the Lesser Void in detail this time, finding it both beautiful and scary at the same time.
Thankfully by now, she didn’t feel as afraid and could still tolerate it.
~THUD~
But when she finally arrived at the final destination, she stumbled to the ground.
“I… don’t… feel so… good…” Cang Ci said, feeling incredibly queasy.
She hadn’t felt like this since she was a mortal child and it was not a good feeling.
“It happens the first time.” Lin Wu spoke. “You’ll be fine in a few minutes.” He added.
“I… see…” Cang Ci laid on the ground, not wanting to move for a bit.
Her stomach felt like it was churning and even her head was spinning. If not for her cultivation base, she might have just fainted at the very start.
And while Cang Ci recovered, Lin Wu asked the system to analyze where the message had come from.
“Do we have a location for Hu Dagao?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: An approximate radius of possible presence can be determined by the system, while the last known location can also be given. But other than that, the system cannot determine the exact location of Hu Dagao.
——
“Hmm… is that so? Get the scan running then. In the meantime, we’ll check up on his last known location. There should be some clues there.” Lin Wu decided.
After a few minutes, the system gave the results.
~DING~
——
SCAN: Completed
ERROR: Target not found!
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS: Please check the map for details…
——
Lin Wu furrowed his brows upon seeing the failure. He knew that the man was alive since he still turned up on his list, but the system could still not find it.
‘Just what level of restrictions were used for the system to be unable to detect them even now?’ Lin Wu was now a bit concerned.
As far as he could tell, there was someone with decent strength or skills doing this. Otherwise, it was quite difficult to escape from the system’s detection.
“I’m okay now, master.” Cang Ci was also ready by now. “What are your orders?” she asked, sensing Lin Wu’s mood.
“I want you to go and search for the clues of this man,” Lin Wu handed a crystal slip to Cang Ci.
She quickly looked through it and grasped the appearance of Hu Dagao. There was also more information about the city they were in, as well as the structure of the powers.
“Second Light City… I’ll take a look around, master.” Cang Ci said.
“Mmhmm, do that. Meanwhile, I’ll check the last known location of Hu Dagao.” Lin Wu said before tunneling away.
According to the system, the man was possibly in a radius of five hundred kilometers east of Second Light city. Lin Wu quickly rushed there and began his search.
His spirit sense was spread fully, and the system was also scanning all the time.
“For him to come here… what could be the reason?” Lin Wu wondered.
This place was far from Second light city and that was where the man had been living for a while now.
‘Could it be to look for the Sun Tipped Crane?’ Lin Wu doubted that, as there were way better methods of checking.
Hu Dagao didn’t need to go out to search for them after all and could simply use his clan connections or pay to get it investigated. Thus for him to be here, there must be some bigger reason.
